The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper left, but Li Yuanqing fell into a slow thought.

After so many years of accumulation, Li Yuanqing's financial resources are varied, but these are the main reasons.

The first is the fixed rate of the imperial court.

Over the past few years, Li Yuanqing and the children of Changsheng camp have won several great victories. Duke Wei has also seen something. He has raised the scale of Changsheng island's grain rate to nearly 300000 taels.

However, although the food and rates of Changsheng island are convenient to be sent out from Tianjin, there is no need to go to Denglai. However, it is inevitable that the "wild geese overkill the birds" are the rules here.

Every year, Li Yuanqing actually gets his hands, that is, in his early twenties.

This is still a smooth situation.

If there is further delay, there will be more than 100000 taels of miscellaneous affairs in all aspects, which will be a great face for "asking for granddad and suing grandma".

What's more, it's a reward, which depends on the Tartar's head to exchange money with the imperial court.

However, there are many similarities between reward and food.

Yes, there are 34000 and 560000 taels of silver a year. If it is not smooth, it will be in the scale of 230000.

Moreover, it is the main income of Changsheng island.

That is plunder!

Through the war, they created wealth with their blunderbusses and spears.

Last year, the battle of Zhenjiang gave Li Yuanqing a good harvest, with nearly one million liang of silver in his account.

But "the landlords have no surplus food.".

Millions of Liang silver seems to be quite a lot, but it can't stand up to more than 100000 people. Every day, people eat horses to chew, and there are rewards for children.

As for other aspects of income, such as the fog and rain Pavilion of Yang jiaoniang in the capital, it can provide Li Yuanqing with more than a dozen or 200000 liang of silver each year.

In terms of xihar'erwei on Sakhalin Island, 200000 taels of fur and groceries are recorded every year.

As for the saltworks, the old cellar in the south of Liaoning Province, including the marine trade and the commercial income on the island, is still in the stage of making a little fuss, and the income generated is not enough to see.

Li Yuanqing is very clear.

As the defense line of the later Jin Dynasty further shrinks inland, the oil and water that can be fished out in the war is less and less.

Because there was no city to fight against, even if he could cut down tens of thousands of Tartars and go to the imperial court again, what Li Yuanqing could get was limited.

Not to mention, it's almost impossible.

When the first world war can kill tens of thousands of Tartars, which is basically the time for the later Jin Dynasty to perish.

Therefore, it is particularly important to expand commercialization, develop productivity and create wealth through formal means.

After such a long time of exploration, Li Yuanqing also found three kinds of industries, the most profitable and the most rapid.

One is illegal salt.

Second, wine making.

3、 It is sea trade.

To be precise, sea trade can also be attributed to plunder.

As long as there is money, do anything.

No matter it's burning, killing and looting! As long as we don't rob the Han people, what is Li Yuanqing's hesitation?

First of all, private salt.

Changsheng Island, including Zhongdao, Xidao, nanxinkou, Guanglu island of Chenzhong and Liaohai of Dongjiang, has unique natural advantages in this respect.

Salt industry, in the court's income, also accounted for a large proportion.

The salt of Daming, except for the official salt, is mainly concentrated in Shandong Peninsula and Huaihe area.

Of course, these two areas are also the residential areas of Daming official salt.

As for the Shudi and Sichuan basin areas, although there are many well salt production, but the scale is obviously not comparable with sea salt.

If Li Yuanqing let it go, there would be no big problem in terms of output, but in terms of sales, Li Yuanqing had a headache.

If you want to sell salt in the Liao area, you can only sell it from Denglai. From Tianjin, even though Li Yuanqing has a good personal relationship with Li Banghua, Li Banghua's personality is here. This kind of thing, as a scholar of formal academic background, is absolutely impossible to agree.

But from Denglai, Li Yuanqing can only endure the exploitation of these big men in Denglai.

If he wants to change, Li Yuanqing must win a position with gold content, at least at the level of Dengzhou salt inspection department.

Of course, if Shandong Salt Road, that would be better.

But in this state of affairs, it is undoubtedly quite difficult to win this position.

If you want to "open robbery", it can only be the more powerful people tearing their face.

At this time, Li Yuanqing obviously did not dare to be so rampant and so blatant.

On the one hand, he wanted to vigorously expand the productivity of "Liaoyan", on the other hand, he could only think of more ways in private.

As for wine making.

Because Li Yuanqing mastered the distillation technology to improve the purity, the collision with his counterpart was slightly less.However, because Changsheng island is far away from the mainland and the grain production capacity is insufficient, it is obviously putting the cart before the horse if we want to develop wine on a large scale.

Only when the west of Liaoning, including the capital and Zhangjiakou, these rich families, bureaucrats and gentry inhabited areas, and the reputation of the old cellar in the south of Liaoning Province was completely opened up, and there was enough water flowing back, could Li Yuanqing expand the scale of wine making on the island.

As for "sea trade.".

It's the most feasible means now.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing.

In the final analysis, if you want to get rich, you still have to rely on the advantages of the bird's blunderbuss and spears.

"What are you doing here so late? You're not afraid of something wrong with boredom At this time, Qu minqiu's graceful figure appears in the inner study, interrupting Li Yuanqing's thinking.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing. "I want to have a rest for this complicated business, but I have to give me this time."

Qu minqiu chuckled, "Yuanqing, how old you are. How can you still be like a child? You think things over here, at least send someone to say with Yun Niang and me. Yun Niang thought you were angry with her, so you won't go to her room tonight. "

"How could this happen?"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help being speechless. "Did Yun Niang let you come?"

Li Yuanqing said, has already grasped Qu minqiu's small hand.

Qu minqiu leans on Li Yuanqing's arms, and her plump and delicate body is completely pasted on Li Yuanqing's body, "what do you say? Otherwise, I don't care about you

At this time, the weather is very hot, even if there is ice in the study, but it still makes people feel very stuffy.

Qu minqiu only wore a short silk skirt today. The two men were so close that for a moment, Li Yuanqing had already reacted.

The big hand skillfully went deep into the clothes of Qu Min's waist, and said with a smile: "isn't it? How do I feel that someone is coming here on purpose? "

Qu minqiu's pretty face turned red and suddenly bit a small bite on Li Yuanqing's shoulder. "The dog can't spit out ivory. I don't care about you. "

Li Yuanqing laughed, "I'd like to eat you now. But I'm still hungry. Minqiu, you go to help me fry a few dishes, let's go to yunniang's room to eat. Tonight, you two will be with me

Qu minqiu's eyes are about to ooze water, but there are also some heartache Li Yuanqing's hard work, laughing and joking: "Yuanqing, you, are you ok?"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help being angry: "when you're full, do you think it's ok?"

At this time, Qu minqiu did not dare to commit Li Yuanqing's taboo again. He giggled and fled the inner study.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but show a faint smile. "It's really nice to go home."

………

After a few days' rest on the island, Li Yuanqing's spirit and body gradually recovered to their best state and eliminated the haze of the flood.

When Li Yuanqing came back, the laughter of the female dependents in the mansion increased a lot.

The children often came to Li Yuanqing's study and watched their father discuss military affairs with his uncles.

In this regard, Li Yuanqing is very open-minded, especially a few boys. Li Yuanqing is very happy that they come to listen to various government affairs meetings. Since childhood, he has developed a keen sense in this respect.

Unfortunately, led by Li Dingbei, these boys are obviously not in this regard, but regard this as a good place to play hide and seek.

Li Yuanqing can only catch them, catch their small buttocks and teach them a good lesson one by one.

In terms of government affairs, the resettlement of slaves was very smooth. In summer, although there were many mosquitoes and insects, Changsheng island's pharmaceutical industry was very developed. It can be said that it was the distribution center of precious medicinal materials in the northern part of Daming.

More and more old doctors and doctors are willing to come to Changsheng island to beg for food.

After all, Li Yuanqing offered them a higher salary and better treatment, and there was no need to worry about all kinds of exploitation and safety troubles.

In the words of later generations, the atmosphere of medical research in Changsheng island is very strong.

What makes Li Yuanqing especially happy is that there is enough rain this year, and the growth of sweet potato, or sweet potato, on the island is very good, and the harvest of this year can be predicted.

If the sweet potato harvest this year, at least until the end of the year, Li Yuanqing will not have to worry about food and grass.

On the afternoon of June 30, Li Yuanqing had just returned from inspecting the fields where sweet potatoes were planted. He had just sat down and had a glass of iced sour plum soup. His relatives and soldiers came quickly to report, "general, Chen Jisheng and General Chen of Dongjiang are here."

Li Yuanqing a Leng, a moment not from a smile, "please."

After a while, Chen Jisheng, guided by his own soldiers, quickly walked into the hall, and with a smile went up to him and said, "Yuanqing, our brother has been missing for some time. What about? Is the battle in southern Liaoning going smoothly? "

Li Yuanqing came forward with a big laugh. He gave Chen Jisheng a warm hug. He quickly ordered Xiaolian to serve tea, wine and dishes. He laughed and said, "brother, dragging the commander-in-chief's Hong Fu, everything is OK. How about this part? Has the merit been reported? "

Chen Jisheng said with a smile, "it's OK. Yuan Qing, I'm here to enter Beijing. "After listening to Chen Jisheng's explanation, Li Yuanqing also understood Mao Wenlong's intention.

On the occasion of the great victory of the southern and Eastern Liaoning, he was ready to further expand the results of the war and gain more initiative in the court.

At this time, the main force of the later Jin Dynasty contracted its defense, and it was difficult for Mao Wenlong or Li Yuanqing to achieve much in military affairs, especially in the frontal battlefield.

After all, it is obviously unwise to attack the main defensive city of Jinjin, which is not the strength that the two departments can have at this stage.

But in other aspects, Mao Wenlong would never let the latter Jin army live in peace.

Li Yuanqing believed that Mao Wenlong had such a means. However, Li Yuanqing had a bad feeling about his idea of expanding the victory in the imperial court and sending Chen Jisheng to Beijing.
