- "When and how to send troops, I have already planned." Zhao Han said.
"I know where Zhao Zongzhen plans to send troops this summer." Xu Nianzu picked up his teacup, walked to Zhao Han's table, dipped in the tea and drew a simple map. The officers and soldiers confronted each other."
Zhao Han felt a little interesting, and said with a smile: "Go on."
Xu Nianzu did not continue to draw the map, but said: "The rebels in Fujian have been in chaos for many years, and the officers and soldiers of Fujian were wiped out in Jiangxi. The meaning of the general town is to send troops from Qianshan in the north and Chaozhou in the west. If you subdue Zheng Zhilong, you can go by sea. Attack Fuzhou. The officers and soldiers of Fujian must wait and surrender."
Zhao Han sat up straight and looked at this person. His expansion plan for this summer was actually clearly stated.
Well, it's not outrageous, anyone who knows military strategy can guess it.
Zhao Han asked with a smile: "Since that's the case, why did you let me send troops to the south of the Yangtze River?"
Xu Nianzu said: "Zhao Zongzhen's delay in going to the south of the Yangtze River is nothing more than fear of the imperial court's northern army. Now there is no need to be afraid. Last year, the Manchus entered the pass and turned Beizhi and Shandong upside down. It¡¯s a mess. Not to mention sending a large army to the south, the imperial court doesn¡¯t have enough troops to fight in the north, and they have to send additional training salaries to train the new army. Once the training salaries are paid, the Ming Dynasty will perish!¡±
"Sit down, don't stand up." Zhao Han raised his hand to signal.
The Ming court collapsed a bit fast.
Judging from the current situation, even if Zhao Han did nothing, Daming would definitely not last seventeen years of Chongzhen.
Last year was a watershed¡ª¡ª
Zhao Han expands, the Tartars break through, and the bandits come back.
The three forces are not involved with each other, but they influence and promote each other, and together they beat and disabled the imperial court.
This produces a violent chemical reaction!
Daming's finances have completely collapsed, only in the spring of the twelfth year of Chongzhen. In terms of the financial situation, it is estimated that it collapsed to the extent of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.
Even the officers and soldiers who encircled and suppressed the bandits, many troops could not pay their food and salaries, and they all relied on the generals to rob the people themselves.
The imperial court will continue to train the new army, and will send an additional training salary of 7 million taels.
Most of the seven million taels of silver came from Henan, Shandong, Nanzhi, Zhejiang, Sichuan, and Hubei, plus the money embezzled by local officials, how can ordinary people bear it?
Zhao Han wanted Daming to live a few more years, but judging from the current situation, he really couldn't live long.
"General Town," Xu Nianzu said anxiously, "Are you just watching the people in the south of the Yangtze River starve to death?"
Zhao Hanfa asked: "Your Xu family has so many fields, why don't you give out food to help the victims?"
Xu Nianzu sighed: "The Xu family has a lot of cotton fields and mulberry fields, but there are really not many grain fields. If the Xu family wants to help the victims, a few thousand people are enough. Once there are tens of thousands of hungry people, they have to buy food. But the head office is in Jiangxi and southern Hunan. Embargo, the Xu family can't buy food even if they have money! Fortunately, the drought last year was not severe, otherwise the price of rice in the south of the Yangtze River this spring would have risen to at least five taels of silver per stone!"
The Taihu Plain and its surrounding areas belonged to the country's largest grain production base in the early Ming Dynasty.
The rapid development of industry and commerce has led to the fact that the grain output of this grain production base is not enough for self-sufficiency, so it must buy rice from Huguang and Jiangxi.
Zhao Han's expansion broke this supply chain!
The decrease in grain shipments from Jiangxi and Hunan caused the price of rice in the south of the Yangtze River to soar. Workers and farmers cannot afford food (many farmers grow cotton for food), causing a social imbalance between supply and demand, and destroying both urban and rural ecology.
At this time, the imperial court has to pay more taxes, which is tantamount to a fatal blow.
The gentry families in Susong and Changhu prefectures were either directly engaged in industry and commerce, or provided raw materials for industry and commerce. How could they not be affected?
Today, it is no longer the skyrocketing price of food, but the overall increase in social prices!
All the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, regardless of landlords or merchants, hope to end this situation as soon as possible. The economic ecology they have operated for more than a hundred years was completely disrupted by Zhao Han.
"General Town, people eat each other!" Xu Nianzu shouted.
Zhao Han sighed: "There are too many big families in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is too much resistance to dividing the land."
Although Jiangxi has serious land mergers, it has many mountains and little land, and it is already a super wealthy family with tens of thousands of acres of land.
However, in Jiangnan, every family has a surname, and they occupy hundreds of thousands of acres of land!
This is the inevitable result of the prosperity of industry and commerce. Capital not only allowed fertile land to be planted with cotton, but also quickly concentrated wealth to a few families. The richer these families are, the more they want to annex land, and this is the same situation all over the world.
Xu Nianzu remained silent.
"Let me think about it again." Zhao Han did not immediately refuse.
Xu Nianzuget up.
Liu Rushi made persistent efforts and asked: "It is said that Mr. Zhao has a reputation as a scholar, but is it true?"
"I took the exam twice, but I failed." Zhao Han said.
Wang Wei asked: "Are you proficient in poetry?"
Zhao Han said with a smile: "I haven't studied it."
Famous prostitutes have their own way of life, these three women are trying to get Zhao Han's interest.
I have no other thoughts, just want to get Zhao Han's care.
Liu Rushi attended the whole conversation between Xu Ying and Zhang Pu that day, and she asked, "I heard that at the age of fourteen, Mr. Jiangxi is favored by the school inspector. Do you want to accept Mr. as a student?"
"Yes." Zhao Han nodded.
Both Wang Wei and Lin Xue were very surprised. They thought Zhao Han was superficial, but they didn't expect him to be a child prodigy.
It is really rare for a provincial academic officer to take the initiative to accept apprentices, because it will definitely attract criticism.
Liu Rushi raised the corners of his mouth: "I guess Mr. Zhao must be full of knowledge, and he only regards poetry as an outsider's way, so he doesn't bother to discuss poetry with others. Mr. Zhao must have some masterpieces?"
They also understand "national affairs", but they are all old-fashioned, such as rectifying the administration of officials and appointing people on their merits.
Needless to say, Jiangxi has already done it.
Then you can only use poetry, which is the strong point of courtesans.
Zhao Han said with a smile: "I think of an old work, in front of three famous masters. Don't sing the song of the old age, there is also a galaxy in the world. In Shihao Village, there are more tears than in the Palace of Longevity."
After the poem was finished, the three courtesans stood up quickly: "Thank you for your teaching, sir!"
Their petty thoughts were seen through by Zhao Han, and they were also beaten by this poem. Let them sing poems and songs in the future, pay more attention to the sufferings of the people, and don't just care about emperors, generals, ministers, talented scholars and beautiful women.
Throwing out this poem is also Zhao Han's warning to the ruling literati.
Liu Rushi thought to himself: Mr. Zhao is worthy of being a child prodigy. He is really proficient in poetry, and he just hides it in his heart without showing any traces.
