please make me king

Chapter 1025 Shaanxi at a loss
What the father-in-law Wang Shiqin said was justified and confident, quite a bit of the arrogance of people who "eat public food" in later generations.

Zhang Shun couldn't help asking strangely: "In this case, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than [-] farmlands, more than [-] stones of grain, more than [-] bundles of forage, and more than [-] taels of silver per mu. Where did you come from?"

"At that time, the captives couldn't cross the river, and the soldiers were able to farm and herd in Taonei. With the benefits of hunting woodcutters, the land was rich and prosperous, and the town was dominated." Wang Shiqin couldn't help explaining with a smile.

"Since the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, the captive chieftains have been tricked, and all benefits have been lost. The towns and fields look at the yellow sand, but no grains are produced, and all the farmland is useless!"

It turns out that the so-called Taonei in the Ming Dynasty naturally did not refer to the Hetao area in later generations.

It refers to the Aoerdusi area within the "several" bends of the Yellow River, which is the Ordos area in later generations.

This place was originally a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and forests everywhere. At that time, it was still in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Later, the global temperature became cold all day long, coupled with human destruction, the forest here gradually degenerated into grassland, and some grassland degenerated into desert.

Therefore, in the Han and Tang dynasties, the line of defense could be pushed to the vicinity of Yinshan Mountain to the north of the Yellow River, while the Ming Dynasty could only guard the Mu Us Desert and gnaw the sand.

But even though they were eating sand, the environment in the early and late Ming was not exactly the same.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, martial arts were abundant, not to mention that the entire jacket was in charge, and there were no nomads even near Tumote.

The officers and soldiers of Yansui Town can naturally cultivate and graze in places with rich water and grass outside the defense line, but now it is in the Little Ice Age in history, and desertification is serious.

Coupled with the relocation of Ordos Wanhu, one of the [-] households in Mongolia, Yansui Town naturally cannot be as smooth as before, and can only rely on the imperial court to support it.

"Could it be gone?" Zhang Shun really couldn't believe it.

Anyway, he also led the army along the side wall and marched all the way from Yulin to Ningxia. It's not like he didn't see the cultivated land with his own eyes. How could he believe Wang Shiqin's nonsense?
"Actually, it can't be said that there is no." In the end, Hong Chengchou helped his father-in-law out of the siege. "Qingyang, Yan'an and Suide Sanwei also have about [-] to [-] arable land, and about [-] shi of grain are collected every year."

"It's just that the Weilin farmland in Yulin is almost completely abolished, so if General Wang said that there is no farming or weaving in Yulin, it would be true."

"Besides, since the seventh year of the apocalypse, there has been no rain in Yulin, Yansui and other places for seven or eight consecutive years. Where is there any surplus food available?"

"Okay!" Zhang Shun thought for a while, and felt that even if he didn't give the old man Wang Shiqin a face, he should give the Yulin generals a face.

If the scope is limited to the side wall of Yulin Town, offending the Yulin generals with heavy troops for the narrow and barren cultivated land, the loss outweighs the gain.

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being!" Zhang Shun made a decisive decision, and instead of mentioning this matter, he pursued, "It's just that the towns need food and wages every year?"

Everyone couldn't help but cheer up when they heard the words, and thought: Come on, this is obviously to redefine the scope of interests!

Hong Chengchou pondered for a while, and then said seriously: "The original number of officers and troops in Gansu Town was [-], and the current number of officers and troops is [-].

"The original number of horses was [-], but now the number of horses and mules is [-]."

"The original amount of grain was about [-] shi, the democratic movement was about [-] shi, and the Beijing transportation was [-] taels of silver."

"The current garrison grain is [-] shi, which can be converted into [-] taels of silver!"

"Wait, wait!" Zhang Shun hurriedly stopped Hong Chengchou when he heard the words, and couldn't help asking, "I see what you mean, I'll pay the [-] taels?"

"It used to be from the Ming court!" Hong Chengchou said with a wry smile.

Good guy, are you cheating on me?
I said, why do you guys drop so fast, your relationship has already planned to eat my idea and drink my idea!
"Okay, go on, go on!" A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, Zhang Shun looked lifeless.

Is it good enough for military and civilian use?

In addition to food and drink, you also want money from me!
"The original population of Guyuan Town was more than [-], but the current population is about [-]; the original population was [-] for mules, horses and cattle, and the current population is [-] for mules, horses and cattle."

"The original garrison grain was [-] shi, the democratic movement was about [-] shi, and the silver of various colors was about [-] to [-] shi. The current amount is almost the same!"

Zhang Shun had no expression on his face, and thought to himself: Don't say there are [-] people in Guyuan Town, even if there are really [-] soldiers and horses.

I'm afraid that my ashes have been thrown into the Chan River by Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides. How can there be so many things?

"The original number of Ningxia Township officers and soldiers was [-] members, and the current number is [-] members." Hong Chengchou didn't dare to look at Zhang Shun's expression anymore, so he continued with a sullen head. .

"The original amount of horses was [-], but the current amount is more than [-]."

"The original amount of tun grain was [-] shi, the democratic movement was [-] shi, and the Beijing transportation was [-] taels of silver."

"The current amount of grain is nearly [-] shi, and there are two hundred and twenty-eight thousand four hundred and forty-nine taels of silver in various colors!"

"Hmm!" Zhang Shun was noncommittal.

Hong Chengchou turned his head and glanced at Wang Shiqin, the father-in-law of the King of Qin, who had an uneasy face, and could only continue: "Yansui Town's original quota of officers and troops was [-], but the current quota is more than [-]."

"The original forehead was [-], but the current amount is more than [-]."

"The original amount of tun grain was [-] shi, the democratic movement was [-] shi, and the Beijing transportation was [-] taels of silver."

"The current amount of garrison grain is [-] shi, the pro-democracy movement is nearly [-] shi, and all kinds of silver are converted into [-] taels!"

"Okay, I understand it now!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that means I should pay more than [-] million taels of silver in various colors for the four towns every year, and [-] taels of grain. Thirty thousand stones, right?"

When Hong Chengchou and the others heard the words, their brows were sweating immediately, they grabbed an abacus, and began to calculate "crackling".

"What the hell, I robbed a feudal prince's mansion, and it was only two million, so he was called a 'thief' by the court!" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing angrily, "You rob a feudal prince's mansion every year, and you can still be called a thief!" For officers and soldiers?"

"Good son-in-law, these are actually book data. You owe me, everyone, and I owe you what I should do!" Wang Shiqin couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Actually, it's not impossible to make a discount!"

"It's just that the officers and soldiers are newly attached, even if you put on a show, you still have to appease me, don't you?"

Zhang Shunli ignored him, and said involuntarily: "At the beginning, I was just a farmer in Henan, and the whole family was not hungry when one person was full."

"When Song Xiance and Liu Yinggui follow me, there will be a shortage. You can also go to Li Baihu's house to have a good autumn breeze."

"I finally waited until I couldn't survive and rebelled. As a result, apart from fighting every day, I was just worrying about the food and drink of the large number of people under my hand."

"After worrying about this and that, I finally robbed Fu Fan, Chong Fan and Tang Fan. After two days of good life, I took down a huge Shaanxi."

"In the end, you told me that not only did I not make any money, but I also owed a whole lot of debt?"

"I need to fill in a bottomless debt of [-] million taels of silver every year!"

　Similar to the bottomless pit in Shaanxi, Chongzhen said that he still has two in his hand, one is called Xuanda and the other is called Jiliao.
