Chapter 113: Monarchs and Ministers Each Has a Ghost

Zhu Youzhen has long wanted to buy cannons!

It's a pity that I don't have any money in my hands!

Yuan Chonghuan, the previous Jiliao Governor, also wants to add the latest cannon!

At that time, the 900,000 taels of silver used for "peacemaking" were transported to Liaodong, and in order to hide from the world, Wang Li lied that Yuan Chonghuan was transported to the south to buy cannons!

This incident made Yuan Chonghuan happy for a while!

It's just that Yuan Chonghuan didn't wait for the cannon, but he went to prison!

At this time, Zhu Youzhen, with silver in his hands, his waist pole was hard!

Not only did he think of the cannon, but he also formed his own iron horse!

The strange thing is that this matter was not handed over to Wang Chengen, not to Cao Huachun, why did he think of himself?

Could it be that there is fraud in it?

For a while, Wang Li was a little confused!

Without waiting for Wang Li to think more, Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth again: "I believe that the civil and military forces of this Manchu Dynasty can't find a person who is honest and honest!"

Including you!

But, in your hands, it shouldn't be bad for money!

These two things are left to you, perhaps, you can be less greedy! ”

"Uh...... Long live the little slave, the little slave is terrified......"

Terrified!

Trepidation indeed!

Zhu Youzhen mentioned his corruption?

Could it be that in the past two years, the two provinces of Fu and Zhejiang have collected more than 9 million taxes and silver, and he knows about it?

No, it shouldn't be that!

If that's the case, it's not enough to die a hundred times!

Could it be that Tang Shiji, Xiong Wencan or Zhang Yandeng offered bribes?

That's not right, my ass is wiped clean!

Could it be that it is three million taels of silver from the Acting Palace?

It can't be either!

This thing is Wei Zhongxian's buttocks, and it is also very clean!

Could it be that this guy wants to use cavalry and artillery to kill me?

Well, it's possible!

Anyway, I'm a meritorious hero!

If you want to kill me and confiscate my cavalry and Tianyin Pavilion, you must have enough reasons to convince the public!

I'll go!

Not really!

Snatching my copyright with a clear conscience, will you worry about not being able to convince the public?

I'm afraid I'm thinking too much!

I'll go!

Is this guy coming really?

After asking a few simple questions, you are ready to give me two million taels of silver?

What a local tyrant!

In other words, no matter how rich you are, you won't waste it so much, right?

Do you really think I have bad teeth?

Do you really think you can't eat it?

I'm afraid you're thinking too much!

If you don't eat the meat that reaches your mouth, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!

Wang Li left in a trance, and Prosecutor Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief!

Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to add charcoal, and then asked "casually": "Long live the lord, as soon as the four million silver comes out, there will only be one million left in the inner treasury!"

Tai Lux's royalty income next month is estimated to be less than seven thousand taels, and it will be even less in the future!

So, long live the lord, please be cautious! ”

"No!" Zhu Youzhen shook his head, confident with murderous aura: "It was after careful consideration that I handed over the big matter to Zhou Yanru and Wang Ergou!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen had made up his mind, Wang Chengen was worried, but he no longer persuaded him.

Actually, Zhu Youzhen has indeed been well thought out!

Because......

Kong Youde had only 800 soldiers and horses, and his rebellion was not to be feared;

The thieves fled from Shaanxi to Shanxi, and there is nothing to worry about;

first suppress Kong Youde's rebellion, and then move to Shanxi, and the domestic chaos can be quickly pacified;

The new cabinet chief assistant Zhou Yanru is honest and self-disciplined!

The two million taels of silver given to him will never dare to be corrupt!

Wang Ergou is unruly but outstanding!

After a proper beating, give him two million taels of silver, and you can rest assured!

Besides, he's a rich man!

Net worth at least a few million!

He didn't have to risk his life to embezzle his own money!

Taking a step back, even if one of the two is corrupt, even if he embezzles all the money, the other person can form a 10,000-strong iron cavalry and buy back a batch of new cannons!

With such a two-pronged approach, you can not only distinguish between loyalty and treachery, but also will not miss a big thing!

After the domestic pacification, with this batch of iron cavalry and new artillery, plus the Guanning army and the border armies of all roads, it was easy to defeat Huang Taiji!

Of course, if these two men are not corrupt, the number of cavalry and artillery will be doubled!

Defeat Huang Taiji, not to mention!

Today's inner library, there is indeed only one million taels left!

However, compared to the previous two years, this is already very abundant!

Moreover, there are more than 10,000 tariffs per month, and several thousand royalties!

Wei Zhongxian went to Nandu, and he could still transport back thousands of taels of commercial taxes every month!

This crime deserves death, but it still has the value of use!

You can spare his life for the time being!

So, compared to the previous two years, this year's finances are much better!

Two or three more years at most!

After getting rid of internal and external troubles, I immediately reduced taxes and taxes to let the people recuperate!

In less than ten years, Daming can be prosperous!

……

Regarding the purchase of artillery and the formation of cavalry, Wang Li was not in a hurry.

Because, to buy back the cannon from distant Portugal, it will take at least a year to go back and forth!

And I didn't plan to go to Portugal at all!

Xu Guangqi hasn't developed a mortar yet, but he can build a cannon himself!

It is not difficult to slightly change the length of the barrel, change the caliber or appearance, and then brand a few foreign characters on the gun body to pass off as a new cannon!

Won't show the stuffing!

Stealing beams and changing pillars like this, Zhu Youzhen's silver for purchasing cannons went into his pocket!

As for the cavalry, it's even simpler!

On the Datong side, exchange a batch of cheap old and weak horses to the Mongols, just make up the number!

Find a suitable place, find a suitable place, and hire a group of hungry people to mine cast iron, and armor and armor are also very cheap!

In this way, it only takes hundreds of thousands to get it!

So, there is no need to rush the matter of artillery and cavalry!

After all, the "private customization" for Yixianglou only takes a few days to earn five million!

That's the big thing!

Five million or million, how can I choose?

Therefore, for the next few days, Wang Li stayed in Lingji Palace all day, working overtime with the prostitutes to compose music.

Knowing that Zhou Yanru also received the same mission, Wang Li smiled indifferently!

Many doubts in my heart are solved in an instant!

Knowing that Zhou Yanru was looking for a ship to go to sea, Wang Li was still not in a hurry!

"Keep an eye on Zhou Yanru for me!

Send someone to Fujian again, and order the sailor to prepare!

As long as Zhou Yanru's ship sets sail for the sea, I will intercept it immediately, leaving no one alive! ”

"Factory father, really don't leave a living?"

"Damn! If you leave a living mouth, wouldn't you not be a self-confessor?

Listen to me!

Just ship the money back!

When it's done, say ...... Let's just say that the ship on which Zhou Yanru purchased cannons was robbed by the Dutch East India Company!

No one will know, God will not know! ”

……

As expected!

Wang Li stole "Virtuous Things" from later generations, Su Yingxia was particularly satisfied!

What makes her most happy is that this world-class "composer" also presented a song "Full Moon in the West Building"!

Also exclusive license!

Five million taels of silver, the payment is very refreshing!

However, only Su Yingxia himself knows: Yixianglou, there is no way back!

Within two years, if the principal and interest are not less than nine million taels, Lord Hou will not let himself go!

They will be divided by five horses!

There is no place to die!

However, barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes!

Even if he is an important minister of the court, so what?

If he dares to get in the way, even if the old lady fights for her life, she will pull him off the horse!

However, it should be, not to the point of breaking the net!

This song is indeed suitable for Yang Ai!

When the time comes, she will officially use her new stage name: Liu Ruyi!

Whether she can become the Oiran of Qinhuai River, and whether Yixianglou can be famous in Qinhuai depends on this one!

……

Through the previous Wang Li, his hometown is in Sichuan.

Maybe it's psychological, maybe it's really too cold in the Xiaoice period, and he doesn't like the winter in the north very much!

Now, having completed the "exclusive authorization" of Yixianglou, Wang Li pondered that it was time to go to the south to escape the cold!

went to the south in the name of purchasing cannons, and Zhu Youzhen had no reason to refuse!

It's just that the thing entrusted by Empress Zhang is really powerless!

Everything else is easy to say, but this is Zhu Youzhen's family matter!

It looks very simple, but it's really inconvenient to meddle!

So, I can only say sorry to her!

I'm really sorry!

"The factory official personally went to the south to supervise this matter, I can sit back and relax!

It's just that...... The thieves of Shanxi, and the rebellion of Kong Youde......"

"The little slave thinks that the thieves in Shanxi must be eliminated as soon as possible!

Since no one in Shanxi dared to go, the little slave dared to recommend one!

With him, great things will be done! ”

"Oh? Factory Gong means ......"

"Taiyuan General Soldier, Cao Wenzhao!"

Wang Li paused word by word, his face was full of confidence: "As long as Long Live Lord trusts General Cao, within a year, the chaos in Shanxi will be calmed!" ”

mentioned Cao Wenzhao, which is exactly what Zhu Youzhen meant!

In fact, before Wang Li, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, was also vigorously recommending Cao Wenzhao!

Zhu Youzhen really wanted to entrust Cao Wenzhao with a heavy responsibility, but he was a little worried!

Because, Cao Wenzhao was the Taiyuan general soldier canonized by the imperial court, but he became Wang Li's ministry!

When Wang Li was transferred back to Beijing, Cao Wenzhao ignored Hong Chengchou's retention, and did not report to the imperial court!

He resolutely took the soldiers and horses and left Shaanxi!

This kind of behavior is no different from Zu Dashou's "rebellion"!

However, at this time, Da Ming is using people's strategies!

Especially the generals who led the troops into battle!

It's really not advisable to kill indiscriminately!

Since Wang Li took the initiative to propose, and patted his chest to promise, he just couldn't ask for it!

"Since it is recommended by the factory, I should be entrusted with a heavy responsibility!

I named Cao Wenzhao as the governor of Shanxi, and was fully responsible for the suppression of thieves in Shanxi!

It's just that...... Allocation of Soldiers, Horses, Money and Food......"

"Long live the lord, please rest assured: Cao Wenzhao went to Shanxi to suppress thieves, and all the expenses were all taken care of by the West Factory!

Long live the Lord and the household, there is no need to allocate a tael of silver!

Just ......"

Wang Li's first few words made Zhu Youzhen excited.

I almost burst into tears!

The cost and expenditure of the cavalry is simply astronomical!

Unexpectedly, you don't have to pay a tael of silver by yourself and the household!

How can you not be moved?

However, Wang Li's desire to speak stopped, and Zhu Youzhen's heart was raised to his throat!

"I don't know...... What are the concerns of the factory company?

Whatever you want, say no! ”

"Long live the Lord should know that in the first battle of the Great Ling River, although the Guanning Army completed the strategic deployment, it lost more than 5,000 war horses!

If the Guanning Iron Cavalry can't recover its combat effectiveness in time, the Ming Dynasty may be the enemy!

If the Guanning army fails to contain the main force of Huang Taiji, Jiannu may still make a detour to Mongolia!

In this way, the Jingshi will be attacked on three sides, and one will lose the other! ”

"Well, that's right!" Zhu Youzhen nodded again and again, and said tentatively: "The factory is about to go to the south, and it is difficult to take care of the affairs of Liaodong!"

Or, I will hand over the purchase of war horses from the Guanning Army to Zhou Yanru, the first assistant? ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Lisecond understood Zhu Youzhen's careful thoughts!

I am about to go south, and I have no time to take care of the affairs of Liaodong, this matter is true!

Restoring the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Iron Cavalry is related to the battle situation of the whole country, and Zhu Youzhen has a deep understanding!

However, between Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, and Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, he chose Zhou Yanru!

Whatever!

Who he trusts has nothing to do with me!

Transferring Cao Wenzhao to Shanxi, his goal has been achieved!

For yourself, enough is enough!
