- "Isn't it a little unreasonable for the emperor to do this? This place in Jincheng is not worth more than ten million taels of silver."
Jay Chou found Sun Chuanzong and the others, and immediately conveyed Zhao Hongyu¡¯s explanation to them. After receiving the order from Zhao Hongyu, the 'immediate boss', Sun Chuanzong, Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui immediately devoted themselves to investigating the number of civilians following the army.
When heading to the people in the rear, Yang Fengyi couldn't help but ask.
Yes, there are only more than 300 households in Jincheng, and the land has been deserted and overgrown with weeds due to the war. If you want to use it, you won't be able to cultivate it without sorting it out.
But if this happens, spring plowing will be delayed.
From Sun Chuanting, Yang Fengyi knew that Jincheng was used by the emperor as a mortgage. Because the current emperor Zhu Shangwu borrowed a large sum of money from the crown prince from America.
This amount of money amounts to fifteen to six million taels.
This is a huge amount of money.
You must know that the tax collected by the imperial court for a year is only a mere three million taels. And because of some losses in the early years, the money was just a drop in the bucket and would not have much effect at all.
How can the emperor and the court pay back such a large amount of money?
When Yang Fengyi thought of this, she felt a little headache.
But fortunately, the one who has the biggest headache is not him, it should be Zhu Shangwu.
After Yang Fengyi figured this out, she never thought about it again.
If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.
With so much money, it is not unreasonable for the imperial court to take out a piece of land as collateral.
After all, this is a lot of money.
If the imperial court wants to repay it, it will take five or six years without eating or drinking.
And there is no interest calculated here.
Sun Chuanting didn't know that Zhao Hongyu didn't charge such a high interest when he lent money to Zhu Shangwu, so Yang Fengyi was even less likely to understand this.
So, judging from the experience of private lending, if the imperial court borrows such a large sum of money, the interest it pays will definitely not be a fraction.
At this time, private lending was basically a method of compound interest, which can be regarded as the predecessor of usury.
The profit of two or three points is not high, and there are even profits as high as five points.
"With Jincheng in such a dilapidated state, even if the American crown prince wants to collect taxes from it as interest, it is obviously impossible to do so.
Who made Jincheng so dilapidated?
After some contact with the American crown prince, it was obvious that he was not the kind of person without a brain.
So, no one can say whether he will have any thoughts when he sees Jincheng in such a dilapidated state.
In Yang Fengyi's view, the court's approach was obviously not very authentic.
If it really causes a backlash from the American crown prince, then the court will be in trouble.
Is it possible that the imperial court can still act rogue and not pay back the money?
This is absolutely impossible.
¡°If it were the common people, they could still do this, but as the court and emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they would never do such a thing.
¡°If the emperor does such a thing, how will the surrounding countries view Ming Dynasty in the future?
Therefore, Yang Fengyi has not considered that the court will not pay back the money.
Because the truth is there, and anyone with a brain knows it.
Since the debt must be repaid, the emperor will feel uncomfortable in the future.
But looking back, there was nothing we could do about it.
Who left the imperial court without money?
Today¡¯s imperial court uses silver everywhere.
Military pay, disaster relief, and recruiting troops to deal with the violence in Shaanxi all require money.
With more than ten million taels of silver, we can solve a lot of big problems.
First of all, the military pay problem in Liaodong can be solved, and there will be no problem at least within two years.
And with money, the violence in Shaanxi can also be quelled.
After Shaanxi is stabilized, the imperial court can fully deal with Hou Jin.
It will take three or four years to complete these things.
By then, the court can think about slowly paying back the money.
But one thing is the most basic. The imperial court must properly appease the people from America in the past few years.This big creditor.
¡°At least, you have to make people feel that Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to repay the money, right?
But now.
What Jincheng did is a bit worrying.
¡° If you make this big creditor unhappy and ask you to pay back the money immediately, then the court will be doomed.
¡°After all, the court and the emperor dare not cheat and refuse to pay back the money.
Yang Fengyi¡¯s mind was in a mess, and all kinds of thoughts kept flashing through his mind.
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting looked back at the busy imperial army, then looked back at Yang Fengyi and said: "Jincheng is indeed not doing well in this matter, but since this is the emperor's arrangement, then as ministers, we Just follow the arrangements. But at least now it seems that the American crown prince has no objection to this. "
In fact, this matter is not just Yang Fengyi¡¯s personal concern. Sun Chuanting also had the same idea early in the morning, so he always tested Zhao Hongyu from time to time along the way.
He wanted to know whether the crown prince from America would be disappointed.
After all, Sun Chuanting still knows some of the situations in Jincheng.
"What Sun Chuanting didn't expect was that after arriving in Jincheng, he discovered that the situation here was several times worse than he knew.
Fortunately, after some contact, Sun Chuanting did not find the reaction he was worried about from the crown prince from America.
Even after arriving in Jincheng, the crown prince didn't say anything.
It seems that General Zhou next to the Crown Prince said that they don¡¯t really value the city and population in Jincheng very much.
What they value is some of the mineral resources here in Jincheng.
What is there in Jincheng?
It seems that there are no valuable mines.
?Iron ore, copper ore, gold or silver ore?
¡°If there were these mines here in Jincheng, wouldn¡¯t the imperial court know about them?
¡°And since this place is so close to Houjin, it must have been occupied by Houjin long ago.
It is precisely because there is nothing here in Jincheng that it did not attract much attention from Hou Jin and became a temporary no-care zone.
I really can¡¯t figure out what this American crown prince is planning.
If the imperial court continues to be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Hou Jin, then Jincheng is destined to become Hou Jin's bag.
In another time and space, Jincheng did become Houjin¡¯s territory in the later period.
"As long as the crown prince has no objections, don't they know that if they choose Jincheng, they will inevitably be attacked by Houjin?" Yang Fengyi nodded, then frowned and said to Sun Chuanting.
Speaking of this, even Wu Sangui, who was riding his horse on the side, chimed in to express his opinion.
"Two adults, Jincheng is only 800 miles away from Shengjing, the capital of Houjin. If Houjin dispatches elite cavalry, it will only take two or three days to reach here, and they will always appear near Jincheng. Hou Jin¡¯s reconnaissance cavalry, Hou Jin will never allow such a large army to exist, because this is a big threat to Hou Jin.¡±
How could Yang Fengyi and Sun Chuanting not know what Wu Sangui said.
This matter is obvious.
You have to be a fool to not see this.
So, is this crown prince from America an idiot or a fool.
¡°Obviously it¡¯s neither.
So, why did the crown prince choose Jincheng?
¡°When the emperor gave Zhao Hongyu several choices to choose from, it was Zhao Hongyu who chose such a dilapidated place.
Of course, none of the choices Zhu Shangwu came up with were good.
"Song Jun is very strong. Perhaps it is because he has confidence in it that he is fearless."
After all, he had seen the imperial soldiers take action twice, so it was easy for Sun Chuanting to think of this.
In fact, what Sun Chuanting guessed was not wrong.
Zhao Hongyu did choose Jincheng because of this support.
The Ming army was as afraid of Hou Jin as a tiger, but Zhao Hongyu was not afraid.
Especially when Jay Chou used a disadvantaged force of 25,000 troops to fight against the Hou Jin army with a strength of 50,000 to 60,000 troops outside the capital city, and defeated them, Zhao Hongyu's confidence became even stronger.
At the same time?Zhao Hongyu has a lot more information than the wise people of this era that they don't know.
Especially the mastery of the Houjin situation is unparalleled in this era.
In Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes, the invincible Hou Jin actually has quite a few weaknesses.
First of all, the biggest weakness is that their population is too small, which is absolutely fatal.
It is impossible for Hou Jin to die too many people because they cannot afford to die.
At this time, the population of Houjin and the Manchu people were only about 2 million, even if they were all added up.
"Excluding the old, the weak, the sick and the young, how many people are left who can hold a knife and go to the battlefield?"
¡° Even if it¡¯s one-fifth of the population, that¡¯s only 400,000 people.
This is still too much.
In the battle of the capital, at least more than 20,000 elite members of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty were killed.
It is equivalent to saying that Hou Jin lost one-twentieth of his effective strength in one fell swoop.
This number is not tragic.
"If Jin fights a battle like this twenty times, then they can only let the old, weak, sick and disabled fight, and even women and children.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu believes that he does not need to be afraid even if Hou Jin comes to cause trouble. As long as he hurts them and lets them know that he is not easy to mess with, even if Hou Jin knows that he is a threat, he will not come to him easily.
Thinking about it, after the battle of the capital, Huang Taiji should know this.
More importantly, during the Battle of the Capital, the Imperial Army killed several Eight Banners banner lords, as well as many nobles of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty.
The deaths of these people suddenly created a vacuum in Houjin¡¯s domestic power.
It is impossible for Huang Taiji not to see this.
So, after retreating to Shengjing, in order to control these powers.
Thinking about it, these braids will definitely lead to some men¡¯s ¡®palace fighting¡¯.
Doesn¡¯t this give Zhao Hongyu time and opportunity to build a development process?
Zhao Hongyu thought everything through very clearly.
How could the relatively young Sun Chuanting, Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui, who had information asymmetry, know this clearly?
Eight hundred miles away, Huang Taiji returned to Shengjing with the remaining defeated generals.
At this time, Huang Taiji's face no longer had the arrogance and arrogance it once had.
Regarding the army that suddenly appeared outside the Ming capital city, Huang Taiji wanted to know where they came from.
But for now, let¡¯s put this matter aside.
Four of the Eight Banners leaders died, and several powerful figures such as Gushan Ezhen and Dutong also died.
The eldest brother Daishan also disappeared.
Around the power vacuum left by these people, on the way back from the defeat, the fight has begun.
So, let¡¯s solve this problem right now.
Huang Taiji reined in the reins at the gate of Shengjing City and asked the war horse to stop.
He turned sideways and looked south, shouting silently in his heart: Daming, I will go again! (To be continued.
