Chapter 54: The War Boom

It's just three feet high.

The things that the Ming army can't look at, these toasts all want. Speaking of which, these Tusi soldiers are actually not much richer than the local people in Burma.

Most of the toast was slavery. The so-called Tusi soldiers had no personal freedom at all. Everything about them belongs to Toast. Kill what Toast kills. No reason is needed.

And the wolf soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty were good at fighting, in fact, their lives were not valuable, no matter what they grabbed after the war, they would earn it after they went back.

So what has become of Myanmar's scourge?

Nature is conceivable.

Of course, this was discussed between Mu Chun and Huang Zicheng, and it was also acquiesced.

Without him, Myanmar is too far away from the core area of the Ming Dynasty.

Whether it is to go to Yungui to here, or from Annam, Siam to here. Even crossing the Strait of Malacca by sea is a long way to get here, which indicates one thing.

That is, there is very little power that Da Ming can project here.

The new army in Mu Chun's hands was only more than 10,000 at most, less than 20,000.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to deploy a full army in the future. Unless there is a breakthrough in other areas, the railway from Yunnan to the outside world has been repaired. Or the steam-engine ship succeeded.

Otherwise, the number would not have changed.

Although, Mu Chun also knew that a vassal king would be sent to sit in Myanmar in the future. But in the face of the resistance of the local people in Myanmar. It's also a headache.

Now bring this batch of toasts over, so that these toasts and the locals have formed a great enmity of life and death. Whoever rules Myanmar in the future will have some staunch supporters.

If the Ming Dynasty can't stand in Burma, the Tusi who migrated from the country will definitely die.

Yunnan-Guizhou toast, especially Guizhou's toast, is a problem in China, and they are all uneasy, but in Myanmar, they have become the biggest supporters of the Ming court.

It's also a waste to treasure.

After the two sides met in Siam. This war, which lasted for nearly a year, can be regarded as coming to an end.

Play the imperial court, and let the imperial court deal with post-war matters without mentioning it.

-------

He Xi received the news of the meeting of the two armies, and it had been six years since Longwu.

He Xi also expected this news. I didn't think there was any problem, after all, victory in the war on the Indochina Peninsula was only a matter of time.

It's just that He Xi feels that some things are about to be closed.

This battle. The total cost is about 20 million yuan. It is apportioned in the financial budget of Longwu for five years and six years in Longwu. However, in the past five years of Longwu, the fiscal revenue has exceeded 200 million yuan.

This is a very high income.

That's almost double what it was before the Civil War.

Of course, He Xi knows that this income is not normal. Because a lot of it is a direct trophy on the battlefield. The total is more than 60 million yuan.

It has already offset the military spending for the whole year.

After all, in He Xi's plan, even if the army does not fight, the annual military expenditure will be about 30 or 40 million yuan. Even with the addition of more than 2,000 yuan in additional expenses. It's enough, too.

And He Xi knows better.

In fact, the vast majority of the spoils did not reach the hands of the center at all, but were divided between the front-line generals and soldiers. Even if He Xi emphasized military discipline, it was useless.

Most of the Ming army served as soldiers in order to be promoted and make a fortune.

Moreover, if the imperial court grabs the spoils of war with the front-line generals and soldiers, not to mention the loss of the army. There is a good chance that something else will happen.

As a result, He Xi could only formulate an unspoken rule, that is, the spoils of war on the front line, thirty percent to the imperial court, three percent to the generals, three percent to the soldiers, and one percent to the loss.

The reason is the unspoken rule. That is, it can't be on the table.

On the stage, it directly clashed with the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming army should not commit any offenses in the autumn.

But actually, don't overdo it, just asking for money is already quite good.

Of course, even if these spoils of war are not in the hands of the Ming court, they are also flowing in the Ming economic circle, and in order to support the war in the southeast, various industries are very prosperous. The so-called war boom.

Now the war is coming to an end.

A lot of things are coming to an end.

Now, He Xi's technique of transferring internal contradictions to the outside is already very skillful.

For example, this time, this war, not only Guizhou Tusi moved south. There are still many places that are powerful and have also been forced to immigrate. Even He Xi decided to form a system.

In the future, when every vassal king goes out to become a vassal king, he will ask the imperial court to count the list, and scrape the local heroes and powers in various places and take them away.

There are also benefits to doing so.

Look at the Han Dynasty, in the early Western Han Dynasty, generations of local heroes in the eastern part of the country migrated to Guanzhong to build mausoleums. The Kanto region has always been under the control of the imperial court, and later the Lingyi system was abolished, and many family lords immediately appeared in the Kanto region, and the Kanto African Han Dynasty owned them.

Migration in the surrounding area made it easy for the Ming court to directly manage the place. It also made some places more under the control of the central court. And these local tyrants are strong within the country, like Guizhou Tusi, which is the existence of detrimental state rule, but placed outside, colonies, Chinese clans comparable companies, more suitable for development, and overseas roots.

It can also be regarded as maintaining the ruling ability of the Ming Central Committee as much as possible to cope with the changing situation in the future.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue is so high, and it is not just a case of war. There is also a sentence that the unified market formed by changing the law is formed and formed. After the reunification of the world, there was growth in all aspects.

Wait a minute.

However, the war is coming to an end, and He Xi is not ready to start another war during his tenure. Some things need to be prepared as well.

For example, changing the law.

After two years of implementation, most of the local changes have been almost done.

He Xi supports it, and there is a whole interest group behind it. The local opposition forces have disappeared under He Xi's iron fist. Even if there are some hiccupes, they can only be interludes, just interludes.

It's just that He Xi also knows that most of the local prefectures and counties have not changed much.

It is nothing more than that the officials become officials, and the officials eat official meals, and the local scholars apply for the examination and can be promoted. In a county, there are also several more officials.

Originally, at the local level, there were at most a dozen officials with rank in a county. But nowadays, there are at least a dozen officials in a county, and if there are more, there are not many hundreds.

Plus the clerks, at least a few hundred clerks, and the police.

There are too many people eating public meals.

There are at least more than 1,000 people in a county. For example, Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu, which have more than 20,000 officials and officials, are not too many. But Suzhou. Songjiang, Quanzhou, Yingkou, and so on there are still a dozen.

The day when the Ming officials and the number of officials will exceed the army are just around the corner.

In this way, Daming's annual administrative expenditure plus military support can only be said to be barely enough for 100 million yuan.

Fortunately, with so many people, there is also a large amount of effective collection of taxes.

He Xi estimated that in Longwu for nine years. That is, when he is ready to step down, it is possible to earn 300 million yuan a year, or even more.

However, paying off the more than 3 billion yuan of national debts is still a big problem.

After all, in He Xi's view, money is spent everywhere in the world, money is needed to repair the Yellow River, money is needed to repair the Huai River, money is needed to repair Haitang, and there is no need to build railways, and public bonds are issued.

Three billion yuan also requires several years of tight clothing and diet, or even more than ten years to repay the money.

It's just that such a big change can be made in a few years. He Xi has paid a lot.

I don't know how many people were affected in He Xi's hands. I don't know how many families were swept by He Xi's pen. Sent overseas. I don't know how many people have been ruined under He Xi's policy.

This is still He Xi passed on the costs abroad, and many other countries such as Annam, Champang, Siam, etc. Let He Xi have room for internal relaxation.

Otherwise, this one will become even more disabled

Cruel.

This is also the reason why it is always difficult for China to succeed in changing the law.

China is so big that it has used almost all political means and methods just to maintain stability. I want to make China's law change successful. It's almost like making an elephant jump out of a ring of fire.

No matter how exquisite the design is, no matter how good the idea, in the process of implementation, it will always be out of shape.

Even He Xi must admit that in fact, there are many people below who are holding up He Xi's signboard under the banner of changing the law. I did a lot of things for the sake of evil.

He Xi knows some and some don't.

Knowing this, he will naturally clean up them one by one in the future, but not now, and he can't spoil the overall situation of changing the law. As for not knowing those, He Xi couldn't do anything. I can only take a good look at it later.

He Xi's prestige and prestige quickly dissipated in the process of changing the law.

Without him, before that, He Xi was the Duke of Zhou who turned the tide and rebuilt the world. However, with the deepening of the reform, countless people have suffered losses because of the policy of He Xi.

I have a lot of resentment towards He Xi.

People have a feeling that whatever they have gained, they feel that it is their own credit, but whatever they have lost, it must be the fault of others, and people are more impressed by what they have lost.

In this case, the interest groups that have profited from changing the law have much less support for He Xi than before.

Without him, He Xi wanted to carry out a capitalist revolution. But He Xi has always been wary of capital. Restrictions in many ways have hurt the interests of some capital.

For these people, they are in mind.

What's more, He Xi can no longer give them anything.

And the people who have lost their interests hate He Xi to the core, and these people are all over the world, as the gentry of the old forces, they are all smart people. Quickly colluding with the nascent capitalism, not to mention being in the same stream. Even if they lose the power to control the world, because of their strong foundation, they are still one of the best forces in the world and have a very strong united front value.

Appeasing them is also something that must be done as a ruler, otherwise many things can be easily messed up.

Shang Ying died in the law, and the human race did not thank Luo Ji.
