Negotiations failed.

Xujiazhuang's purpose was not realized, and it could not be fully supported by Emperor Chongzhen on the premise of ensuring absolute independence.

Because Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was unwilling to lie flat.

Nearly 20 million yuan of sufficient money and food every year, he wanted.

He also wants to organize the people and control the management of all the people.

There is also the most important military power, it is impossible for him to give it up, he must firmly grasp it in his hands!

As an emperor, and a qualified and ambitious emperor, how could Zhu Youzhen choose to lie down? On the contrary, he has an extremely keen understanding of money, food, population, and military power, let alone give up a few, even if he gives up any of them, he will never compromise and agree.

Therefore, no matter how Xu Jiazhuang talks to him, it is impossible to establish cooperation and reach a consensus.

Because a qualified emperor will not give up his people, and it is impossible to give up the most important military power, unless he is willing to lie down and be a puppet.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction.

It's just that today's Ming Dynasty, even if they discuss how to deal with Xujiazhuang at the court meeting every day, for a month, until everyone is tired of this topic, they can't come up with a set of feasible and effective countermeasures, and it is impossible to turn the blade towards themselves, reduce the consumption level, and no longer buy and use Xujiazhuang's goods - this is something that Chongzhen himself can't do.

In addition, Fang Yizhi, who served as the head of the royal farm, recently wrote a letter to Chongzhen in addition to being extremely busy, temporarily dispelling the emperor's desire to target Xujiazhuang.

The letter to the Chinese side of the wisdom said: "Today, our royal farm, although we have developed more than 100 places, with millions of acres of fertile land, but at least can increase the yield of 30% of the good seeds, Xujiazhuang provides, can only be purchased from Xujiazhuang, otherwise the seeds will soon degrade, the yield will be rapidly reduced; At least one percent of the pesticides that can increase the production can only be provided by Xujiazhuang; There are also fertilizers, pumps and diesel, which are not only expensive, but also can only be supplied by Xujiazhuang. ”

"That is to say, if the cooperation with Xujiazhuang is broken, the royal farm wants to obtain a bumper agricultural harvest, but it is just a bubble, and without money and food, it will not be able to raise the people and raise soldiers, and it will not be able to suppress the rogues and destroy the slaves, all of which are just a broken bubble, so the relationship with Xujiazhuang must not deteriorate! Even hostile to each other, we cannot afford to cancel our cooperation. ”

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

"Now the high-yield crops of the royal farms have been sown, all of them are growing well, and they are expected to have a bumper harvest, if they fall out with Xujiazhuang at this time, then all the efforts will be in vain, and the royal farm's plan will fail, and the minister has the wisdom of Zhuge Liang, and he can't make the grain yield five or ten stones per mu, and only by continuing to cooperate with Xujiazhuang can he achieve a bumper harvest."

"Patience! Your Majesty must be patient, Xujiazhuang's expansion is not so fast, as long as we move faster! Exterminate the Liukou within three years, defeat Jiannu within five years, so that they dare not detain the customs, and then learn from the Xujia Manor, and find a way to increase the number of royal farms from 100 to 1,000 or 10,000, which is faster than the expansion of Xujiazhuang, and the threat of Xujiazhuang at that time is not a big threat, as long as the two sides avoid conflict, it may not be impossible to coexist peacefully with Xujiazhuang. ”

After reading the letter written by Fang Yizhi.

Zhu Youzhen calmed down, agreed with these points in the letter, temporarily put aside the idea of targeting Xu Jiazhuang, and chose to continue to cooperate with him for a period of time.

As long as the Royal Farm Plan is successful, it will be self-sufficient and have enough food.

As long as the rogue who is scurrying around is exterminated.

As long as a strong army is trained, the Jiannu outside the pass will be beaten and disabled, and they will not dare to enter the pass and wreak havoc.

As long as we solve one small problem after another in front of us, we will work steadily and steadily.

A few years later, even if Xujiazhuang is still strong, the imperial court will not necessarily be weak, and even maybe they will get rid of the dependence on Xujiazhuang's improved seeds, pesticides, pumps, diesel and other items, and crack the mystery of these magical things.

At that time, the court and Xujiazhuang had a showdown, and the court might not have the last laugh.

And Chongzhen is 22 years old this year, very young, the owner of the Xu family Xu Yuan is almost 30 years old, much older than himself, he is too big to slowly consume with the owner of the Xu family! Consume until the owner of Xu Zhuang dies, and see how the leaderless Xu Jiazhuang can be stabilized, instead of being divided into a pot of porridge - because the power established by merchants like Xu Jiazhuang is like the empire of Qin Shi Huang, because it is brand new, in fact, there are countless problems and loopholes, and internal contradictions will arise sooner or later.

In short, there must be some fatal hidden dangers and dead holes in Xujiazhuang, once it suddenly breaks out one day, hehe, the moment when Xujiazhuang will become history.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen had a little calmness and concentration, and recovered his fighting spirit, he firmly believed that 'the advantage is in me', and he will definitely be able to win in the future.

……

It's July.

Baoying County, No. 31 collective estate, replaced the original Dashi Township, including Zhang Fugui's hometown - Xizhang Village, and many surrounding villages and towns, all merged into No. 31 manor.

And outside Yangzhou City, after the end of the battle under the fortress of Manor No. 72.

Because the opponent lost his fighting spirit and threat, No. 72 Manor no longer needed to garrison more than 5,000 Xujiazhuang, the headquarters issued an order to withdraw the troops, first returned to the harbor city to recuperate for a few days, by the way, each officer and soldier participating in the battle, according to their own military merit points, can be freely exchanged for the rewards they want in the military merit supermarket.

Zhang Fugui was rewarded as follows for his outstanding performance:

A Silver Star Outstanding Commander Medal, equivalent to 1,000 military merit points.

An ordinary medal for participating in the war, equivalent to 50 military merit points.

The second-class merit is recorded once, which is equivalent to 200 military merit points.

Kill 168.3 enemies, equivalent to 1683 military merit points.

14 ordinary prisoners were captured, and 2 senior prisoners were captured, which is equivalent to 340 military merit points.

Take the initiative to hand over property worth 18,750 taels, equivalent to 1,875 points.

Add all of the above together.

Zhang Fugui received a total of 5,148 military merit points.

And if the military merit points are directly exchanged for money, 1 military merit point can be exchanged for 1 silver dollar, which is equal to 1 tael of silver.

That is, after this big war was fought, Zhang Fugui earned more than 5,000 silver dollars in one fell swoop, which can be called a battlefield rich, and it made those officers and soldiers of the Xu family who failed to play on the battlefield have red eyes of jealousy, and they all shouted that it is unfair, next time there is a big war, they must go, they must go! No one can take away the opportunity to fight that belongs to them.

From having earned military merit points ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand.

Zhang Fugui found that some comrades-in-arms directly opened an account in the bank, converted military merit points into silver dollar deposits, deposited them in the bank, and took 5% long-term interest.

Some comrades-in-arms, is the military merit points, with a ratio of 1:1.2, into mine development bonds, the income of this bond, completely related to the corresponding mine benefits, if the annual income of a mine is 10%, the rate of return is quite good, but there are also mines, may only have an annual income of 1%, 3%, and even the depreciation of mine bonds to lose money, the risk coefficient is a bit high, but it is very exciting, in the prohibition of gambling in the Xu family, there are many officers and soldiers who have purchased these mine development bonds, It has become a very fashionable topic to sit together and study whether it has risen or fallen.

Zhang Fugui doesn't like to gamble, he is a person who wants to live a down-to-earth life, so he, like most of the soldiers of the Xu family, deposited part of the military merit points in the bank, and some of them went straight to the military merit supermarket and exchanged a large number of things he wanted at a very favorable price, such as:

1 Phoenix brand bicycle, only 1000 military merit points.

1 mechanical watch (spelling Xi Xi Jing imitation model), 1000 military merit points.

1 wool tweed coat, 300 military merit points.

10 cans of malt milk essence, 50 military merit points.

10 pounds of toffee, 10 military merit points.

Beef jerky......

Pork jerky......

plus other things to eat and play, 3148 military merit points, all of which were wiped out by Zhang Fuguihua.

However, he applied for a fifteen-day leave of absence for visiting relatives, and then spent 10 silver dollars to rent an electric tricycle, the back of the car was full of supplies he purchased, and set off from Harbour City early in the morning, along the straight cement road more than three meters wide, all the way to the No. 0 manor in Xinghua County (that is, the original Xujiazhuang General Village), and then the electric three-wheeler was filled with electricity here, and then along the repaired cement road, in the evening, successfully arrived at the No. 31 manor in Baoying County, at this time the tricycle power has not been exhausted.
