At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were no superintendents with military talents who could compare with Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting.

The ceiling of governing the place is none other than Lu Xiangsheng.

Since Lu Xiangsheng served as the governor of Xuanda, he governed the local area with his heart.

To what level?

Some of the people who had already arrived outside the Saiwai returned the cattle given by Li Guoying and returned to their hometowns with their families.

At that time, many people objected to Li Guoying letting them go so easily.

Li Guoying refused the request of his subordinates to intercept the returning people on the grounds that "there is no need to settle grievances out of thin air".

Lu Xiangsheng is also investigating population migration and mining.

This added a lot of trouble to Yang Chengying.

However, for the sake of the faces of all living beings, Yang Chengying still wrote down the methods of preventing the plague in his letters.

He believed that with Lu Xiangsheng's responsible attitude, he could change the history of the plague at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, he also hoped to ease the relationship with Lu Xiangsheng through this incident and ensure the supply of minerals to Jining.

At this time, Zhao Xianke came.

Waiting for Zhao Xianke to sit firmly, Yang Chengying said: "How is the cowpox vaccination of Jurchen children going?" ”

Zhao Xianke pondered for a moment and said: "Seven or eight out of ten have been completed, thanks to Dai Shan's assistance, it has saved a lot of things." ”

"Vaccinia vaccination is urgent, you must keep an eye on it. After the matter is completed, the meritorious personnel will draw up a list and report it, and I will report the commendation. ”

"Yes, my lord."

The Jurchens and Mongols lived for a long time in the remote northeast, and had almost no antibodies to smallpox and other virulent infectious diseases that were prevalent at the time.

Therefore, when Yang Chengying was in the court, he assigned a task to the Tai Hospital to inoculate the children of the Jurchen tribe who were one to two years old with cowpox to prevent smallpox.

Worried that the Jurchens would resist, Yang Cheng asked Dai Shan to help ensure that the matter went smoothly.

All families who die after being vaccinated with pox will be given a subsidy of rice money.

Obviously, this time it was Yang Chengying who was too careful.

Things are going very well.

However, this is not the purpose of Yang Chengying looking for Zhao Xianke.

"Is there any surplus manpower in the hospital?" Yang Chengying asked again.

"The doctors who were transferred from Xinglintang from all over the country have all returned, and if you need to be transferred again, you can send someone to inform them."

has been with Yang Chengying for so long, and Zhao Xianke also understands it very well.

"After the reclamation order is issued, a large number of people will definitely come to Liaodong."

Yang Chengying said: "You have to organize the doctors of the Tai Hospital to form a group.

Accept Zhou Wenyu's arrangement, check the body of the Liao refugees, prevent plague, and vaccinate young children with cowpox. ”

"Yes." Zhao Xianke raised his head and asked, "When will it start?" ”

"It depends on the attitude of the imperial court, and I'm not in a hurry."

The reason why Yang Chengying is not in a hurry is related to the railway.

The construction of the railway from Shenyang to Fushun has not officially begun.

This section of the railway, which is only 65 kilometers long, should be regarded by Yang Cheng as the "Whampoa" of the railway.

First, a group of railway workers were trained, and then they were used to guide the displaced people to build railways.

In addition, the materials need to be prepared.

At least there will be no supply interruptions.

So, there is a lot of time.

"King, the construction of railways and the reclamation order both use the treasury, or find another way."

Fan Wencheng saw the stitches.

He is now equivalent to a big housekeeper, and the first thing that comes to mind for a big project is money.

It's not okay not to ask.

"No treasury." Yang Chengying said, "I have my own way to ensure these two huge expenses. ”

"My subordinates understood." Fan Wencheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It costs a lot of money to build roads and recruit land, and to raise so many troops.

Rao is more than ten years of hard work, and he can't afford such a big expense.

Cao Bianjiao came in at this time: "King Qiyu, Shen Shikui, the secretary of the household department, Shang Xueli, the tax promotion department, He Bin, the imperial history of the bank, and Fan Wenyu, the salt transportation envoy, are asking to see you outside." ”

When they heard this, their faces were filled with joy.

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the king's "money bag" came.

Yang Chengying had a black line on his face.

He doesn't like such awkward titles, how good it is to be called "minister" and "director", he has to do such a show.

No way, people are used to this series of names.

forcibly changed the name, but it was like a grass stage team singing a big show.

"Except for Fan Wencheng and Zhou Wenyu, the others will step back for the time being."

Yang Chengying said.

The study room is small and cannot accommodate so many "big Buddhas".

Zhao Xianke and the others had just left, and Shen Shikui and the others were led in by Cao Bianjiao.

As soon as He Bin came, he stepped forward with a set of bills: "King, this is the latest public bond voucher printed, please take a look." ”

Modern public debt first appeared in the United Kingdom.

In 1692, the British Parliament issued public bonds guaranteed by parliamentary taxes, laying a solid financial foundation for British hegemony in the world.

In contrast, the kings of France, Prussia and other countries at that time were still borrowing in their own names, but they had difficulty borrowing because of their poor creditworthiness.

In the end, the king could only accept usury.

Then because they can't repay it, they default and are being collected by the borrower.

This leads to a vicious circle.

In a sense, this difference created the gap between Britain and Western Europe at that time.

The voucher sent by He Bin did not exceed this era in terms of craftsmanship, but there was a significant difference in content.

For the convenience of circulation, there is no special space for writing the name of the buyer.

In addition, the public debt clearly states that the special funds will be used for the construction of railways and the development of Northeast China, with a five-year term of interest of 10.5% per year, and will be settled once a year. The ticket can be sold as a mortgage, free circulation, and so on.

This is not only a public bond bill, but also equivalent to a further explanation of public debt.

"It's well made, and it fits my ideas."

After reading it, Yang Chengying said: "You divide the denominations into one hundred taels, fifty taels, ten taels, five taels, two taels, and one tael, with a total issuance of 10 million taels. ”

Ten million taels!

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, spending so much money.

"This is just the first batch, and it will be released later depending on the situation." Yang Chengying said, "In short, there is only one purpose for doing this, and we will never fight a poor war." ”

"Yes, after the subordinates go down, discuss with Cao Si (Cao Zhenyan) and expand the scale."

He Bin wiped his sweat.

This is the first time I have handled such a big deal.

Yang Chengying said: "There is another point, no forced apportionment. As soon as the apportionment is made, things will definitely go wrong. ”

"The subordinates understand. In fact, over the years, everyone has become accustomed to this. ”

He Bin said.

As early as when Yang Chengying was only the chief soldier of Jinzhou Town, he asked the people to subscribe for cloth, and then he took the cloth to the Li Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom to sell.

The credit built up over the years has formed a broad mass base among the people.

He Bin has every reason to believe that once the bonds are issued, they will be as popular as the shares of the ocean trading companies.

"By the way, give me a batch of 100 taels of public bond vouchers, I will be of great use."

Yang Chengying said suddenly.

He Bin shook his head just now, heard the king speak, and hurriedly asked: "There is still a period of time before the reclamation order and the railway are built, why are you in such a hurry to use the ticket?" ”

As soon as the words came out, He Bin couldn't wait to give himself a mouthful.

How can anyone talk like that?

Yang Chengying didn't mind, and only said: "When the envoys of the Li Dynasty come, you will know." ”
