Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 156 Financial War, Zhu Ping’s Backup

Except for those officials, Zhu Xi did not take the women around him to Jinling.

This is to marry Xu Miaoyun.

What's the point of taking them with you?
Aisuda and Princess Huizi both stayed in Panyu Mansion.

The same goes for the Luo sisters.

Sophia has returned to Byzantium.

However, Xin Ying, Zhu Ming's personal bodyguard, still followed.

There's nothing I can do about it, this girl is a bit stubborn.

She didn't want to learn anything.

Just follow Zhu Xi.

The only hobby is to make money.

Moreover, she does not make unconscionable money.

This is what Zhu Xi thinks she is cuter about.

Since she had to follow, Zhu Xi took her with him.

A few cars filled up their tanks directly and headed to the train station.

Then, the car also entered the compartment.

The plan is to transport these cars directly to Jinling Mansion.

Why do you want to do this?

It must be pomp!

This time in Beijing, Zhu Fang went to marry Xu Miaoyun.

When the King of Qin marries a wife, he must be more pompous!
Zhu Xi transported a total of ten cars up.

The accompanying officials all had cars to sit in.

In addition, there are hundreds of motorcycles.

These are for soldiers.

Zhu Xi was well prepared.

This is also a big deal.

To be honest, the cost of Zhu Xi's marriage this time was already quite high just for the ostentation.

Who in the world can handle this?
But that's not all.

This time Zhu Xi also prepared a betrothal gift.

What is this betrothal gift?

First, an authentic painting of Yan Zhenqing from the Tang Dynasty.

There is also a painting by Gu Kaizhi of the Jin Dynasty.

Then, there is a set of Tang Sancai.

A giant eagle of blood coral.

A set of Song Dynasty official kilns worth thousands of gold.

A crown of pure gold.

A set of gold silk blouses.

There is also a car. This car alone costs ten thousand taels of silver.

What's more, the price of each of the above items is worth several or even a dozen cars.

Anyway, it’s full of one word: trench!

It's simply inhumane.

Zhu Xi's wealth seems to be inexhaustible.

Think about it, how much money has Zhu Ping spent from the end of the year to now?
The first is the ten million taels of silver subsidy plan to relieve disaster victims.

This is real money.

Then, the monthly cost of building railways was as high as millions of taels of silver.

It is now July. In six months, this is another expenditure of at least 3000 million taels of silver.

And that doesn’t include Zhu Ping’s extravagant daily birthday expenses.

Don’t forget, Zhu Xi returned 800 million taels to the court.

It has only been half a year, and the expenditure has gone to [-] million silver.

Where does all this money come from?

Of course Zhu Xiang earned it!

Actually it was a joke.

Zhu Ping made money, but he didn't make so much.

In fact, in addition to the huge profits brought by industrial development, a large part of them comes from overseas plunder.

For example, gold mines in Australia and resources from various parts of Southeast Asia.

In addition, the Zhenxi Grand Canal is now starting to make money.

Because of Zhu Xi, it has already driven the world's vigorous maritime trade roads in the early Ming Dynasty.

Many Western countries have begun to dispatch ships to participate in trade.However, they are all still large wooden sailing ships, which are not at the same level as Zhu Xi's iron steamship.

Therefore, these people abide by the rules and take the initiative to pay taxes when passing through the Zhenxi Grand Canal.

This is the Grand Canal in the west of the town.

It was originally called Suez.

The world's busiest waterway.

The second is Malacca now.

Therefore, the Zhenxi Grand Canal can make a lot of money just by charging fees.

It is precisely because of this that the Mamluks became jealous.

After collecting the wealth several times, the wealth in the treasury of King Qin's Mansion is amazing.

But Zhu Ping is not a short-sighted person.

Unlike others, he hides money when he has it.

Zhu Xi's money should be spent as it should.

Moreover, he is particularly extravagant.

For example, allocate [-] million silver in one go to help the victims.

Then it brought nearly 500 million people to the land of Lingnan.

It directly shocked a wave of people.

With such a large labor force, the wealth they can create for Lingnan in the future will be more than [-] million silver?

In addition, most of Zhu Xi's money was used for development and construction.

For example, railways.

If you want to be rich, build roads first.

If there is no road, then even if you are sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, you will not be able to transport it out.

Zhu Yu was also in the Ming Dynasty, working hard to promote this idea.

However, the news Zhu Ping heard on the train was not that good.

When we arrived at Huizhou Prefecture, we drove to the sea.

Then, he went to Zhu Chong and reported: "Your Highness, I am in Huizhou Prefecture and have been in contact with businessmen from the Central Plains. Among them are some Huai merchants. They are from the capital... I heard that the situation in the capital is not very good recently!"

"What did you hear?" Zhu Ping asked.

"The imperial court has no money, and King Yan is supervising the country at this time. I heard that all the six yamen are stretched thin! When we go to the capital at this time, will..." Xiang Hai said with concern, with a hint of worry and melancholy in his tone. .

Zhu Xi frowned.

Out of money again?

When he sent dad away some time ago, he only gave him 800 million taels!
Zhu Xi finally understood.

Under the leadership of a group of insects who didn't understand finance at all, the finances of the Ming Dynasty were simply a bottomless pit.

800 million taels of silver, what is this concept?
Let’s put it this way, if so much silver was thrown into the Yangtze River, it would cut off the flow of the Yangtze River.

However, when it was thrown to the court, not even a splash came out.

And then you said, all the money is gone?
Soon, when the car stopped in Fuzhou Prefecture, someone got on the car.

The person who came was from the Shen family, and brought a letter from Xu Da to Zhu Xi.

After reading this letter, Zhu Xi understood what was going on in the capital.

Good guy!
All six movies are out of money.

And you, Zhu Di, pin your hopes on summer taxes?
Fishing in the lake, you finally figured it out!
Zhu Feng smiled and said: "Supervise the country? Old Fourth, Old Fourth, this country is not so easy to supervise. At least, you are still too young and immature now. If Yongle in the future, you will definitely not be so naive and put your hope Place your trust in the future..."

After talking to himself, Zhu Ping burned the letter written by Xu Da.

However, after a while, someone came outside the carriage again.

Zhu Xi was stunned.

The person who came back this time was actually sent by Tang He.

Tang He also informed Zhu Xi of the court's situation in letters.

It cannot be said to be exactly the same as Xu Da's movements, at least it can be said to be equally matched.

Zhu Xi smiled.

"Go back and tell Duke Xin that Zhu Ping accepts his love. If the court treats him poorly in the future, he is welcome to go to Lingnan. I will treat him wholeheartedly!" Zhu Ping sent away Tang He's cronies.

Then Zhu Xi looked at Tang He's letter and started thinking.

Should we start now and give Zhu Di a fatal blow?

Once the financial war begins, there is no turning back!
Yes, the reason why Zhu Ping is so confident is that neither King Yan nor King Jin can stay in the position of supervising the country for too long. That is because Zhu Ping still has trump cards in his hands!
Financial war!
With the current strength and size of Lingnan, in terms of wealth, it is enough to leverage the economy of the entire Ming Dynasty.

As long as Zhu Ping wants to, he can pry the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes at any time.

Let the Ming Dynasty treasure money be completely turned into waste paper!

As a result, no matter how much tax the Ming Dynasty paid, it was almost zero!

However, Zhu Xi also had scruples.

If we really take action, the economy of the Ming Dynasty will also be hurt.

I don’t know if I can survive it!
