Wang Xuan pondered for a moment, then looked up at Li Shantang with a smile and said, "Lord Li, do you value the position of the secretary of the military department?" This is a hot potato, and if you don't get it right, you will be infamous. ”

"It's a hot potato, and because of this, no one will target me, as long as it's not a major problem, it's not difficult to gain a firm foothold, but I don't know anything about fighting, and I still need help." Li Shantang put down the teacup and looked at Wang Xuan with blazing eyes.

"The book of the military department is also good, at least in my opinion, it is more useful than the household department of the Ministry of Officials, those guys in Jiangnan think that the military department is a pit, and no one wants to jump into it, but I think it's a good errand!"

The corners of Wang Xuan's mouth twitched, and he sneered twice, "A group of guys with rat eyes are just one acre and three points of land in their eyes. ”

"It's the book of the Ministry of War, if there is anything that needs to be done on my side, just ask, as for this kind of thing like fighting, don't worry, as soon as I send two staff officers to the adults, I can give the adults some ideas, in addition, I will also come up with some policies here, as soon as Li Chengliang dies, the Jurchens will jump up."

Li Shantang also nodded, they were also surnamed Li, and he also admired Li Chengliang very much.

Not to mention anything else, Li Chengliang is indeed very awesome, joined the army at the age of 40, and was promoted to the deputy chief military officer in the first year of Longqing (1567), assisting in Liaoyang.

Since then, it can be said that the war is invincible, the Mongol Tatars, the Jurchens, the barbarians, the three guards of Duoyan, in his hands have been deflated again and again, in the second year of Wanli (1574), Li Chengliang entered and suppressed Wang Gao, and Nurhachi and his brother Shuerhaqi were captured in this battle, and were taken in by Li Chengliang as a servant.

Until the seventh year of Wanli, the tribes of the grassland entered the Kou more than a dozen times, and were defeated again and again, and in the eleventh year of Wanli, Li Chengliang killed Nurhachi's father 'Takshi' and his grandfather 'Jue Chang'an'.

In the nineteenth year of Wanli (1591), other ethnic groups in Liaodong were completely subdued by Li Chengliang, and because of their excessive power, the civil official group was very frightened, and Wanli was a little worried.

is just a bitter cold place in eastern Liaodong, no matter how 'expensive and arrogant, extravagant', it is not a small fight compared to these Wenchen from Jiangnan.

As a result, since Li Chengliang left Liaodong, there have been eight more commanders in ten years, and the border defense of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty has been gradually abolished, providing objective conditions for the rise of Nurhachi.

As a result, in the twenty-ninth year of Wanli (1601), the Liaodong Jurchens became a great disaster, and the civil official group had no choice but to use Li Chengliang again, at this time Li Chengliang was already seventy-six years old.

Li Chengliang was strong and clear, immigrating more than 60,000 people to the mainland, in order to hold hostage the development of the Jurchens, so far, the Jurchens were once again contained, and they were deposed again in the 36th year of Wanli, however, the Li family still controlled the military power in Liaodong, and it was not until after Li Chengliang's death that Nurhachi felt that the time for rebellion was coming.

Nurhachi later recognized Li Chengliang as his godfather, and when Li Chengliang was alive, he had to kneel and kowtow when he met.

"However, it's not realistic for me to fight Nurhachi now, but it's still easy to cause them a little trouble, it's nothing more than spending money, in this world, there is no problem that money can't solve, if there is, it's that you don't spend enough."

"Oh, how?" Li Shantang became interested when he heard it, after all, his Ming border troubles were Shanxi, Shaanxi, Liaodong and the southern coast.

Now that there is Wang Xuan in the south, he is naturally not afraid, if Wang Xuan can hold Nurhachi hostage, then he can do as steadily as Mount Tai as the secretary of the military department.

"Xiao Gui Cao Sui, it is still Li Chengliang's old method, the wall is clear."

"Kiyono Strongwall? How does this work? If I dare to bring it up in the court, I will inevitably be attacked by a crowd, those guys...... If you have nothing to do, you must give me the hat of losing the ancestral territory. Li Shantang said with a frown.

"I don't need you, now Liaodong Jingluo is not Yang Hao, spend money, buy people, it just so happens that I need a lot of labor here, how many ordinary people can there be at the junction with the Jurchens, are there 100,000?"

Wang Xuan pursed his lips disdainfully, "Even if he has 200,000 people, regardless of men, women, old and young, I will pay five taels of silver each." ”

"Buy as much as you want, it doesn't matter if the people in Liaodong sell out, let them go to the Jurchens to grab it, a big living person is five taels of silver, you see if they don't have to worry about it, they don't work hard."

"Without those people in Liaodong farming, there is not enough food over there, the march is deserted for hundreds of miles, and a logistics transportation alone can kill them, if you don't want to be starved to death, you will only go north to fight the Duoyan Sanwei and the Tatars, and naturally you will not have the energy to commit the border."

Wang Xuan waved his big hand, with a nouveau riche face, and the corners of Li Shantang's mouth twitched, "Zaizhi, they may not be willing to sell it." ”

"How?" Wang Xuan was stunned.

"Liaodong will not tax the imperial court, more than one million acres of land, in addition to the people's own consumption, the grain grown has been levied by the officers of various departments in Liaodong, these people can make a lot of money on this every year, they may not be willing to give up."

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, and then smiled again: "It's nothing, it's not that there is no other way to make money except farming, let them breed, cattle, horses and sheep, I want everything, a few herdsmen can raise hundreds, this profit is much higher than farming, and it also saves manpower. ”

"In fact, it's not that there is no profit on the grassland, but that the predecessors have not developed it, cattle and horses may be bred for too long and the effect is slow, but you can raise sheep, I collect wool, and the profit is higher than farming."

"Don't worry, as long as you have money, whether it's the Liaodong Army or the Jurchens, I always have a way to impress them, and money can make ghosts grind."

Li Shantang nodded, he was still convinced of this, wasn't he himself conquered by Wang Xuan with money.

"Okay, then I'll fight for the position of the secretary of the military department."

"Don't worry, how much money is needed to come to me." Wang Xuan waved his hand and said angrily: "Money, we have something!" ”

Four days later, the pier.

Li Shantang has to go to the capital in person, this kind of thing, his subordinates can't do it, and he doesn't worry, besides, it doesn't matter if he is in Fujian or not, anyway, everything is Wang Xuan's words, he is now a puppet, this is the reason why he wants to break away from Fujian.

He Li Shantang is not old yet, and he is still ambitious, but he doesn't want to be such a puppet.

There is a separate area on the dock, a big ship has been parked, it is faster to go to the capital by sea and land, if it is by land, Li Shantang will not think of the capital in two months.

Wang Xuan and Li Shantang walked on the big boat together, "Come here, I'll take the adults to see." ”

As he spoke, Wang Xuan pushed open the door of the cabin, and there were boxes stacked in between, Wang Xuan opened one by one, and immediately, an ingot ingots appeared in front of the two of them, look at the ingots in the box, and then look at the pile of boxes, Li Shantang was a little dizzy.

He knew that Wang Xuan would prepare money for him, but he didn't expect to prepare so much, this, this is 500,000 taels!

This is 500,000 taels, since Zhang Juzheng's whip law, all kinds of taxes have to be converted into silver, but the treasury can only earn more than 3 million taels of silver a year, but Wang Xuan alone gives him one-sixth of the treasury income.

This...... But it was one-sixth of the annual income of the Ming Dynasty's treasury, which made his heart beat violently with a bang, and a bang.

"Hahahaha, Master Li, how about it, is it enough, 500,000 taels, is it enough to make those pavilion elders and the Shangshu of the various ministries bow their heads!" Wang Xuan's laughter was extremely rampant.

"Enough, enough!" Li Shantang was holding on to the barang wall, his legs were a little weak.

"Don't worry, there's more!" Wang Xuan grabbed a small box from the side, opened it and put it in front of Li Shantang, and then continued: "There are twenty catties of pearls here, and they can be sent outside the palace, Zheng Guifei is not favored, just give it to her, don't be reluctant, we have something!" ”

Li Shantang almost didn't choke to death when he heard this, how many catties is this pearl for!?

How many pearls are there!

You'll be twenty pounds when you come up, and when this is white rice!?

Can you maintain a minimum of respect for pearls!

Wang Xuan laughed and put down the box, pulled Li Shantang to another cabin again, pushed the door open, and saw corals of different shapes stacked here, Wang Xuan pointed with his big hand and said: "See, coral, a thousand catties, see who likes it, just send it, damn, aren't these courtiers greedy for money, then use money to stone them to death!" ”

It's just rich, love what's wrong, hahahaha!

Looking at Wang Xuan's arrogant appearance, Li Shantang leaned against the wall of the warehouse, holding his chest with one hand and gasping for breath, he was in his fifties, his heartbeat was about to jump out of his throat, he had to be calm......

But your mother, I can't calm down, 500,000 silver, 20 catties of pearls, and thousands of catties of coral.

What a concept!

You must know that the price of Daming's pearls is very high, especially the pearls of the same size and round that Wang Xuan took out, not to mention coral.

Coral was a real luxury ornament in ancient times, and even in the Qing Dynasty, it was used to inlay the flower feathers.

Of course, white coral is more common, and Wang Xuan can't take out red coral, but Wang Xuan is so good at fake, no, it can't be called fake, what businessmen do, how can it be called fake, this is called a cottage .......

Wang Xuan coated a thousand catties of pink coral, which is second only to red coral, even in modern society, this is also a gram sale, these corals alone are worth a million taels of silver.

However, anyway, it was a high-A cargo, and Wang Xuan was not distressed, so he threw it to Li Shantang to pretend to be forced.

After a long time, Li Shantang took a breath, he was really shocked, so much property, the total price is not less than two million, he will definitely not be able to spend it, just a military department is still a book, there are 300,000 is considered to be the sky.

After all, a military department can't hang much oil and water.

(Pushing a fire book, it's real fire, "I'm really immortal", the first love is as bright as a summer flower, and I can't stop reading this book, it's a scourge.)

This article tells the story of how an immortal person should live correctly and actively in modern human society under the guidance of the core values of socialism.

It is hoped that it can play a role in the experience of other immortals, people with special functions, immortal cultivators, aliens, and non-human beings participating in the construction of a stable and harmonious life in the country. ）
