Chapter 328 War Treasures

The so-called suitable businessman is a good businessman who serves Ying Yi. In the entire northern land, including the Shanshan and Shaanxi regions, unscrupulous businessmen, such as Fan Yongdou, have long been wiped out, and those who are left behind are, at least on the surface, ethical.

When Zheng Jiu and Qian Yue sent out troops earlier, many businessmen accompanied the army, including them.

Naturally, the sale of captured materials must be left to them. It’s good to eat it naturally for your own people.

Using merchants' channels to sell supplies can, on the one hand, greatly reduce the workload of the government and greatly improve efficiency. On the other hand, it is also a kind of feedback to these qualified merchants.

What's more, the government has also stipulated the sales price, and is not afraid of businessmen cheating the people. If there is such a person, then the knife will definitely be placed on his neck.

The market price of a cow is, for example, 5,000 Singapore dollars. The government only charges 2,500 Singapore dollars for wholesale to merchants. It stipulates that the price of a cow cannot exceed 4,800 Singapore dollars, leaving a leeway of more than 2,000 Singapore dollars. If this is not enough, then you should die. .

Of course, the profits of businessmen are definitely not that high. They have to be fed before being transported and sold, which all consumes money, and taxes are also levied. But no matter what, it's definitely a huge profit.

There is no doubt that cattle, sheep and horses are easy to sell. Nowadays, everyone has land, twenty acres per household, and the sharp increase in grain production has caused a sharp increase in land demand for labor, which has also increased the people's demand for animal power.

In this way, there is a huge market for cattle, horses and other animal power.

As for sheep, as meat, people now have income, and with money, they naturally consume it, and they don't have to worry about not being able to sell it.

On the contrary, jewelry and medicinal materials may be unsalable. As for the fur, it's probably somewhere in the middle.

According to estimates by the Pastoral Council, the total direct revenue from the sale of women, cattle, sheep, horses and various materials may exceed 2 billion Singapore dollars, while indirect revenue, such as taxes, etc., may be tens of millions of Singapore dollars. . A series of impacts it brings, such as the next season's grain harvest, the interests of the people, etc., are all of positive significance.

And more than 200,000 young and middle-aged men, after entering the slave labor camps and before being classified as Han nationality, will bring countless infrastructure to this land in the next six years, and this wealth is even more inestimable.

So when it comes to war wealth, you can eat it all at once.

At this stage, Yingyi still lacks a large number of labor forces. The rejuvenation of people's livelihood is not done with words but done with hands, which requires labor and population.

Of course, it is also possible to employ people on salary basis. However, for the time being, the conditions are not yet met. The people are still in the recovery period and are busy with their own farming. Going to work and making money is secondary.

Currently, using free labor is the most cost-effective option. On the one hand, it will not affect the income of the people, and on the other hand, this method is used to digest barbarians and eliminate evil, which is commonly known as labor reform.

When society develops to a certain stage and people have an urgent need to work and make money, slave labor camps will lose their value. By then, if there are still prisoners from foreign wars, the way they are dealt with will definitely change again. Of course, it’s still early and I won’t consider it for now. As long as Ying Yi has an idea in mind, that's enough.

After this large-scale war, Ying Yi will not launch any large-scale battle for a period of time. Even the unification war against Jiangnan and Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan will have to wait at least one year or even two years. Stabilize the basics first, and then take your time.

No different than before, Ying Yi was worried that if he acted too slowly, the northern land would be poisoned by the Tatars. Now that the Tatars are powerless and foreign troubles have been eliminated, they can naturally choose a more stable path.

However, large-scale wars will not break out, but small-scale wars will not stop. The thorough cleansing of Liaodong and the attack on the Monan Grassland will be maintained at a certain intensity.

Therefore, after handling government affairs, Ying Yi summoned Qian Yue, who had withdrawn to the capital, to the palace.

"Liaodong will be determined. With Zhu Bingkun there, it won't take long before the territories that have belonged to the Xia since ancient times will come back." Ying Yi said: "In the northwest theater, Zheng Jiu is focusing on the attack on the Monan and even the Mobei grasslands. I want you to The establishment of the Western Theater Command will focus on the construction of front lines for Tibet, Hui areas, and future frontiers, and prepare for the conquest of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan to unify China."

The problem in Liaodong was solved, and the Tatars in the Monan Grassland were also wiped out. Qian Yue's role in the Gyeonggi area was greatly reduced. After some thought, Ying Yi ordered Qian Yue to go to Guanzhong to form the Western Theater Command, and to establish fronts for the return areas in the western part of Shaanxi, the Tibetan areas in the southwest, and the western frontiers.

These three areas have always been hidden dangers for Zhuxia Divine State.

Hui Di seems to be one with Zhu Xia, but the people of Hui Di are never restless. In the Ming Dynasty, many rebellions broke out in Hui Di. The bandits from the fifth camp of Gezuo who were previously wiped out by Zhou Li in Huainan were led by Ma Shouying, who was a member of Hui Di. Moreover, the Green Sect has unimaginable influence in this place, and this must be resolved.

Not to mention Tibet. Since Li Tang, Tibet has been fighting and killing with the Central Plains, and it is extremely restless. At the end of the Song Dynasty, Tibetan lamas supported Temujin, who had previously been involved with Dorgon. This is also a problem that must be solved. What Ying Yi said to the Dharma King of Yuanri that he would one day cut down the mountains and destroy the temples was not a lie, it would be realized.

When the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, no matter whether it was Tibet or territory, like the Nurgan Dusi in northeastern Liaoning, they all had capitals and garrison offices and carried out actual rule. But as the Ming Dynasty weakened, these places were no longer in name only and returned to their original state. Regarding these places, Ying Yi never thought about being gentle. Thousands of years of repetition have been enough for people to clearly see the true face of the people in these places. Awe of power but not moral.

One word, hit, and another word, kill.

Anyway, there is an urgent need for labor, so first kill a group of people, and then arrest all the young and middle-aged people to build roads, bridges, and infrastructure in the local area, so that there is no waste.

"You go to Guanzhong and wait to recruit soldiers and horses. In the coming year, you will cooperate with the Pastoral Council to follow up the rule. And conduct detailed spying and understanding of the target." Ying Yi warned: "Be prepared for everything and wait for a thunderous strike."

Qian Yue was naturally excited because he finally reached the level of governor. He beat his chest hard and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will never make any mistakes!"

Ying Yi smiled and nodded: "This is the best."

Then: "Because time is tight, I will not keep you in the capital. You have made outstanding achievements in this battle, and you should be rewarded together with Zhu Bingkun and others. At this time, I will give it to you first."

He was promoted to the eleventh rank and made a star uncle. He was awarded a silver medal as an earl, a million in money, an eight-faced Han sword, and the seal of General Zhenxi.

Twentieth-level knight, fifth-level sergeant, fifth-level sergeant, fifth-level earl, and fifth-level marquis. Before this battle, Qian Yue was a four-star sergeant. Now he jumped two levels and became a one-star uncle. Not only did he reach the sky in one step, but the span was not small.

In fact, Qian Yue was the first earl under Ying Yi's command - not because he had the greatest merit, but because he was the first to receive rewards. The rewards for the others have been drawn up, but the edict has not yet been issued.

When he was in Henan, Ying Yi discussed with Zheng Yunzhi and others to formulate the levels of knighthood. Each level of knighthood has detailed benefits, rights and responsibilities, including medals and detailed regulations. Dividing gold, silver, copper and iron, of course, is not gold, silver, copper and iron in the literal sense, but an expression of color.

The medals are all made of gold and yuan alloys, but have different coatings and colors. Qian Yue is a Xingbo, and his medal is silver with a star on it. If it is a five-star uncle, then it is five stars.

In this way, Qian Yue can now be called: the commander-in-chief of the one-star Bossi War Zone, the general seal of Zhenxi. You can call him Uncle Qian, the Governor, or General Zhenxi.
