Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 334 Sun Chengzong's Great Shock: After the New Deal came, people's lives got better and better!

Outside the capital
A carriage is slowly driving into the capital.

The person sitting in the car was none other than Sun Chengzong.

After Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen made a big mess in the second year of Tianqi, Sun Chengzong had to come to Liaodong to wipe his ass, and then he found that the whole Liaodong was a mess.

Various factions, various constraints

As a last resort, Sun Chengzong had to ask Zhu Youxiao for a lot of power. He was the governor of Liaodong, asking for money, people, and generals.

Among other things, Sun Chengzong still maintained full trust in the fighting power of the Ming army.

They can do anything but not win.

Fort building, turtle tactics.

Advance little by little.

Rigong is a pawn!
The good thing about this strategy is that there is basically no big risk, and the bad thing is that it burns money. In a short period of time, it is not known how much money was taken from the court.

Sun Chengzong naturally knew very well that the court's patience had its limits. If Liaodong could not be resolved as soon as possible, then the court's financial revenue would be dragged down.

It's not that Sun Chengzong didn't want a battle to decide the world and completely solve the big trouble of the Jurchens, but the field combat capabilities of the Ming army can only be described in words.

As long as they can fight, they will not adopt this kind of money-wasting tortoise style of warfare.

I can only hold on.

However, what Sun Chengzong never expected was that in the past few years, a Zhang Haogu had been killed in the court.

Wholeheartedly give money to the imperial court and implement new policies, there is no shortage of silver in Liaodong.

Not only was there no shortage, but all the military pay that was lacking before was made up.

Now, Sun Chengzong has to admit that Zhang Haogu is really good at making money, which is really unmatched by anyone.

The most important thing is that Daming's national strength seems to be thriving.

In addition, Zhang Haogu actually trained a new army. The combat effectiveness of this new army was not taken seriously by Sun Chengzong at first.

It's not that Zhang Haogu didn't give Liaodong's army the mighty and invincible general, it's just that... with this cannon, it's still the same thing. He dare not fight the Jurchen head-on. If he doesn't have the guts, even if he gives you a Gundam, it's useless , or can only adopt the tortoise style of warfare.

However, it wasn't until Nurhachi's [-] army was wiped out, and Nurhachi himself was captured alive, that Sun Chengzong suddenly realized what a powerful army this was.

Simply invincible!

Really came to the capital.

Sun Chengzong immediately felt the difference here. The entire capital had undergone earth-shaking changes. First of all, the road was built.

The roads are also open, and besides that, there are not a small number of merchants coming and going.

The most important thing is that this place has just experienced a war, but now, there are no traces of the war at all, and only Yongding County can see the traces of the war.

"The changes in the capital are really great!" Sun Chengzong got out of the carriage.

"Yes!"

The one who got off the carriage with Sun Chengzong was Sun Chengzong's good apprentice Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan looked at the surrounding environment, stepped on the ground with his feet, and couldn't help saying: "This ground is really solid!"

"This is something called cement. It was also sent to Liaodong before, and it can help us build the city wall!" Sun Chengzong nodded: "This guy Zhang Haogu really made a lot of things for Daming!"

"Flintlocks, the mighty invincible general cannon, and this cement!" Yuan Chonghuan said in admiration: "Without the help of this person, it would be difficult for us to persevere in Liaodong!"

I have to say that Yuan Chonghuan is still lucky now. His most famous five-year strategic plan for flattening Liao Dynasty has not been put forward.

"This little brother!" Sun Chengzong stopped a young man and said quickly, "Are you from this neighborhood?"

"Yes, I'm from Muhuang Town!" The young man said quickly, "My name is Wang Dayong, you two, are you government officials?"

"Political officials?" Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan were taken aback for a moment, and then Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "Yes, we are political officials!"

"What do you want to ask?" This Wang Dayong nodded and asked.

"You guys built this road?" Sun Chengzong looked at the surrounding concrete floor: "How long did it take? How much did it cost?"

"This road is built by us!" Wang Dayong nodded, and then said: "Our young men from Muhuang Town Farm came out to build this cement road during the slack season, and paid us 500 yuan a month. Three meals have to be taken care of!"

"You still have to take care of the food?" Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but said, "Are you kidding me?"

In the past, this was called corvee, don't even think about giving money, you have to bring your own dry food, and now you have to take care of your food?
"Why can't it work?"

Wang Dayong glanced at Yuan Chonghuan: "The emperor's new policy has explained that we need to pay for work. This is because the imperial court called us to build bridges, pave roads, and dig canals. This is to let the river water irrigate the farmland and increase our harvest next year. , However, this is also for the court to increase taxes, so the court wants to give us money!"

Sun Chengzong was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Then, what can I do with the 500 yuan?"

"What else can I do?" Wang Dayong glanced at Sun Chengzong strangely: "Flowers!"

Sun Chengzong: "..."

He felt as if he had asked an extremely idiotic question. At that moment, he coughed and asked, "What can you buy?"

"Cloth, grain, sesame oil, you can buy whatever you want, and there is salt!" Wang Dayong continued: "The 500 yuan is equivalent to half a tael of silver. We can exchange it for silver, but we can also go to Our rural cooperatives can provide us with some things for consumption!"

Sun Chengzong took a deep breath and couldn't help asking: "Can you buy anything?"

"There are some things that you can't talk about. For example, cannons, such as flintlock muskets, these are military things!" Wang Dayong looked at the two people with some vigilance: "What else do you want to ask?"

Sun Chengzong asked again: "Then how much is your grain harvest?"

"The grain harvest, that's great..." Wang Dayong laughed.

Sun Chengzong asked east and west, and he really had a lot of questions in his heart. Finally, after Wang Dayong left, he couldn't help but sigh: "After the new policy came, the lives of the people really got better and better!"
