Qin Mingyue asked again: "The five million taels of silver for the two of us can be in place, needless to say of the Shen family, the accumulation of one Jiazi, five million taels of silver is just a trivial matter." The Jin Merchants Alliance, the Hui Merchants Alliance, and the Guangdong Merchants Alliance are also not a problem. It's the emperor in the palace, I don't know what's going on? That's 20 million taels of silver. The emperor's entire inner treasury is only so much money. No, after such a battle in Ba Province, I'm afraid that there won't be so much silver. ”

Xiao Rui said: "You don't have to worry about this. My father also had a way to do it early on. He didn't swallow all the forty percent of the shares. He gave one of them out and gave it to the entire Xiao family clan, and more than a dozen important royal mansions were taken care of, and each family contributed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so that they could occupy a small share, and they could participate in the income together in the future. In addition, he also gave one part of it to some nobles in the imperial court, such as the Xie family, the Bai family, the Qi family, the Ma family, the Bian family, etc., each family is only a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and they can also participate in the income in the future. Of course, this is based on the fact that these nobles are loyal, and if they are disloyal, the father can take back this part at any time. ”

Therefore, these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are also equivalent to a loyalty deposit. So that a few careful nobles and clans have settled down. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "The emperor's ability to govern, the ability to deal with various relationships, and the ability to check and balance are indeed rare. This is also his talent to become the master of Zhongxing, a generation of Ming Jun. I've been learning for two lifetimes, and I've only scratched the surface. ”

Xiao Rui said: "Fortunately, you learned a fur, but our brothers simply didn't learn at all." My eldest brother and second brother would not have ended up where they are now, if they had learned a little. I hope the fourth brother can learn it in the future. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "In the future, the four princes will have us, and the emperor will definitely be able to learn from the emperor's personal teaching." ”

Xiao Rui said: "I hope so. Now you see, the father and the emperor only need to pay 20% of what he needs to pay. It's only 10,000,000 taels of silver. Although the inner treasury of the father emperor was exhausted because of the war in Ba Province, at the moment, the queen mother first cleaned up the internal affairs office and found out a lot of things, plus the officials of the second brother's lineage that the father wanted to investigate, I think that the inner treasury of the father and the emperor will soon be rich again. Paying this 10 million taels of silver is more than enough. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "That's good, since we can prepare all the money and wealth in place, and the more than 10,000 captives are also in place one after another, we can develop Pillow Xia Island well." ”

"Pillow Xia Island is a very large island, not far from Dazhou, and the waterway is only a three-day voyage. Isolated overseas, not affected by the mainland, because it is close to the south, surrounded by the ocean, the four seasons are smooth and the temperature is also very suitable, if it is developed, at least tens of millions of acres of fertile land can be made, and then it will be a granary of our Great Zhou. With food, we can be more confident in fighting against the Three Kingdoms of Wumen in the future. ”

"With so much fertile land, it can also ease the annexation of mainland land by wealthy merchant families who want to buy land in China. Leave a little more way for the people to live. That's why this big island is very important. ”

"However, at the moment, to develop this big island, silver is one thing, and people are more important. People are only using those captives of the Great Merchants now, more than 10,000 people, which is really not enough. Moreover, they are all big businessmen, and they will not be able to lose their tails in the future. Therefore, we still have to mobilize some people from the mainland to come over. Mixed together, it is necessary to send some troops to suppress it locally, and it needs to be managed by reliable and capable officials to stabilize it. ”

"Of course, this is a matter for the future, and I will discuss it with the ministers in the court. Right now, there aren't enough captives. Therefore, this time, Xiao Rui, we can't kill all the 10,000 soldiers and horses we went to Jin Province to deal with Dayu, so we have to think of some prisoners to go back. So, what you formulated at the beginning was just to scare them away, and I think it needs to be improved, but if it doesn't work, you should mobilize more troops and horses. It's a pity that such a good labor force is not a pity. ”

Seeing Qin Mingyue's salivating face, Xiao Rui couldn't help laughing. However, according to Qin Mingyue's words, he and Yun Feiyang renegotiated the way of fighting, and increased the manpower so that they could capture the prisoners.

In Jin Province, Qin Guotan was playing with pugs in the yard. It has been more than a year since he arrived in Jin Province, and although he came with his wife, he quickly adapted to life here.

This is actually similar to his previous life in the capital, every day is to walk birds and dogs, and have fun. Of course, those Qinglou casinos and the like, because of the strict discipline of his wife Jiang Sango, can't go. This is nothing for veteran player Qin Guotan. Without the Qinglou and the casino, there is still a lot to play, and he is not lonely at all.

What made him even happier was that in Jin Province, his status was much higher than in the capital. In Jin Province, he is the son-in-law of the Jiang family, the boss of the Jin Provincial Alliance of Jin Province, and he is also the elder brother of the national teacher and the younger brother of the Duke of Liguo. Such an identity can already go sideways in Jin Province. Who doesn't stutter, who doesn't flatter? In the capital, he is just a concubine of a declining noble family, with no money, no power, and no one can even afford it, so he can only have fun with the small people in the market. Now, in Jin Province, he is accompanied by sons and daughters of various families, and naturally at this level, this thing is different.

There is a more important point, that is, in Jin Province, although his wife is strictly disciplined and is not allowed to go to the Qinglou Casino, she still gives him enough pocket money to play in other places to play.

Such a rich life, but Qin Guotan has never enjoyed it since he was a child.

You must know that in the first sixteen years of his life, as the favored grandson of the old lady of the Qin family, and as the favored son of his father Qin Ping, although he was deeply loved, but, because the Qin family had already declined at that time, he was a poor jingle ring, where was there any spare money for him to play?

When he went out, he kicked ten taels of silver in his pocket at most, and that was already the sky. Of course, this is such silver, which is much stronger than the average Shengdou minmin, you know, in the capital, twenty taels of silver is enough for a family to spend a year.

So, at that time, he already felt that life was very good. However, compared with the present, Qin Guotan felt that he lived in the first sixteen years was a scum. Now that he goes out, what day will he not spend a hundred and eighty taels of silver? Even, it happens that a lot of money is thrown in a day. How many grades of life has been in this life?

Where would he be unhappy on such a leisurely day? He didn't miss the Qin family's mansion in the capital at all. He lived very comfortably in Jin Province.
