Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 130 If you want money again, close the door and let the dog go!
Bai Duolu, who is familiar with the history of South Vietnam and Ming Dynasty, knows very well, not to mention that at the entrance of the Central Plains, dozens of forces claiming to be orthodox in Ming Dynasty are fighting to death. Even if Ming Dynasty has unified again, he wants to ask Ming Dynasty to solve the problem in South Vietnam It also belongs to the kind that is easy to ask God and difficult to send God away.

This is not because Bai Duolu is suspicious, but because of historical tradition.

Back then, when Nanyue was still called Annan, there was also a civil strife. At that time, Annan's relative Hu Jishu rebelled and killed all the Chen royal family in Annan at that time, intending to make his son emperor.

As a result, a prince named Chen Tianping fled alone and went into exile in Laos—is it very similar to Ruan Fuying's current situation?The only difference is that Chen Tianping went into exile in Laos, while Nguyen Phuc Anh went into exile in Siam.

Later, Chen Tianping fled all the way to Daming. When the father of Ming Emperor Zhu Laosi heard about the chaos in Annan, he immediately ordered Chen Tianping to be escorted back to the country based on the principle of making decisions for Chen Tianping, the son of the vassal state.

As a result, not far from the north bank of the Fuliang River just after entering Annan, Chen Tianping was chopped up by the ambushes arranged by Hu Jishu.

Under the heavy protection of the five thousand Ming army, he was chopped up, and even several Ming officials were killed.

Then, Zhang Fu led his troops to Annan, tied Hu Jiyao and his son back to the Ming capital, and chopped them up.

Therefore, Bai Duolu was very worried, worried that Ruan Fuying would be chopped up like Chen Tianping, and worried that the new Ming Dynasty would come to live in the name of the orthodox Ruan family, just like the previous Ming Dynasty. don't go.

Anyway, Ruan Fujing who was by his side was only a seven-year-old child, who knew when he would die?Once he dies, even if the entire South Vietnam is completely extinct, it will be a legitimate thing to merge into the Ming Dynasty at that time.

Therefore, Louis XVI completely ignored Nanyue and asked Nanyue to seek help from the "Da Ming Empire". Isn't this playing Ruan Fuying for a fool?
Bai Duolu grabbed Pierre's sleeve and begged bitterly: "Mr. Pierre, the Ming country has long since perished, and the Qing country has fallen into warlord separatism. Even if Ruan Fuying wants to ask the so-called Ming country for help, what should I do?" Who to go to?"

"Without the help of France, Ruan Fuying would definitely fail and even be killed. Not only would the cause of missionary work be affected, but France would also lose the opportunity to march to the Far East."

"So, Monsieur Pierre, even for God's sake, please try to persuade His Majesty the King again anyway."

However, Pierre ruthlessly broke away Petolo's fingers holding his sleeves one by one.

At the beginning, France wanted South Vietnam's Tuolong Port and Con Lun Island, so South Vietnam was Britney Spears.

Now France no longer needs Tuolong Port and Con Lun Island in South Vietnam, so...

Pierre sneered and said, "I think His Majesty's attitude is already very clear. What belongs to Europe belongs to France, and what belongs to the Far East belongs to Daming. France will absolutely not interfere in matters within the sphere of influence of its allies."

"As for who should Ruan Fuying ask...that's Ruan Fuying's problem, what does it have to do with us in France?"

"However, for the sake of God, I can tell you a clear way—let Ruan Fuying send someone to Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, and ask the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to help him."

Speaking of this, Pierre sneered again, and said: "Of course, if Ruan Fuying sent someone to the Qing Dynasty to ask for the help of Emperor Qian Deaf, then Nanyue is the enemy of Ming Dynasty, and also the most loyal ally of Ming Dynasty in Europa. , the enemy of France."

Bai Duolu was completely desperate.

Seeing that Louis XVI was determined to no longer care about the life and death of Nanyue like a bully eating a weight, Bai Tuolu could only take the seven-year-old Nguyen Phuc King to prepare to return to Siam and tell the desperate news. Ruan Fuying, let Ruan Fuying make the final decision.

After Patolo left, Count Artois, under the order of Louis XVI, published a new article in the latest issue of the "French Newspaper", stating that France had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Far East allies' homes, and hoped that the Far East The allies can get rid of the money-deaf old dog earlier.

Then, Pierre took the "French Newspaper" translated into Chinese characters, plus 200 French students studying abroad and more than [-] French nobles, and boarded the sailboat to Daming together——

After solving the petty and middle bourgeoisie who wanted to seize power and making the situation in France stable again, the French nobles began to yearn for Ming Dynasty again.

Especially the Ming Emperor, whom Louis XVI and Pierre praised and even wrote several articles praising, made these French nobles curious with a hint of admiration.

Therefore, there was another upsurge in France to go to Daming.

……

At this time, Zhu Jinsong didn't know that a large number of French Guan (fat) light (sheep) groups were coming to Daming to visit and study, and he didn't know that Ruan Fuying from South Vietnam would soon come to him for help.

In fact, even if Zhu Jinsong received Ruan Fuying's request for help now, most likely he would only have someone publish an article in the "Da Ming Newspaper", expressing his close attention to the Vietnam incident and deeply regretting it.

Send troops to help Nguyen Phuc Anh restore the country?Don't be stupid, sending troops to fight for others, there is no fragrance to regain the homeland, even if Zhu Jinsong regrets, he will only regret that the Ruan family has not died-as long as the Ruan family is dead, Zhu Jinsong can regain the old land , Rise and fall continue to die, and hang the banner of the people's crimes to send troops.

Besides, compared with Nanyue, which is now a mess, Zhu Jinsong cares more now that Daming's treasury finally has money, and even reached an unprecedented amount of more than 500 million taels of silver.

Of the more than 500 million taels of silver, 200 million taels of which were originally owned by the Ming treasury, and the remaining 300 million taels were earned by Zhu Jinsong from many barbarians in Europe with his conscience.

Of course, 500 million taels of silver may sound like a lot, but in terms of a country's financial needs, 500 million taels of silver is hardly a fart.

For example, when Zhu Jinsong first ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the entire Ming court owned territories in six provinces including Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Jiangsu, Fujian, and Great Liuqiu, plus some territories in Shaanxi and Zhili, so Even under the premise that Zhu Jinsong exempted the agricultural tax and agricultural tax, Zhu Jinsong's tax revenue in the first year reached 3000 million taels.

This is the abolition of those exorbitant taxes, coupled with the benefits of vigorously developing industry.

The benefits of vigorously developing industry are self-evident for commerce, and then abolishing the messy and miscellaneous taxes of our Daqing, coupled with the mutual supervision of various institutions such as Yushitai, Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Jinyiwei, will bring benefits. Good business environment.

The existence of trade unions, farmers' associations, and chambers of commerce can guarantee the interests and income of farmers and workers. If the interests of farmers and workers are high, they can increase consumption levels and allow businessmen to earn more money.

The better the environment, the more opportunities to make money, and the more businessmen willing to come to Daming, which means that the more business tax Zhu Jinsong can receive.

The reason why Zhu Jinsong dared to promote industrialization without unifying the world is actually thanks to the nearly tens of millions of Zhili people sent by the old dog who is deaf and deaf.

First of all, these people who fled from Zhili are actually similar to the refugees who lost their land in a sense. The difference is that the refugees who lost their land may cause trouble, but Zhu Jinsong can arrange these people to work. Workshops and construction sites, thereby promoting the process of industrialization.

The combination of these reasons has become a very virtuous circle. Even if the Ming court under Zhu Jinsong still maintains an extremely low tax rate of 3000% in terms of taxation, it is still a very low tax rate after Zhu Jinsong just ascended the throne. In that year, the tax revenue reached [-] million taels of silver.

What bothered Zhu Jinsong was that the 3000 million taels of silver seemed a lot, but when viewed from the perspective of the entire Ming Dynasty, the 3000 million taels of silver was still better than nothing——

If any country wants to operate normally, it will inevitably involve many aspects such as national defense and military expenditures, administrative expenditures, infrastructure, public security, education, medical care, and social welfare.

Taking Zhu Jinsong's army as an example, the army's weapons and equipment cost money, right?Equipment development and production cost money, right?Does the food, clothing, housing, transportation and daily training of soldiers cost money?Does the pension for the families of soldiers who died in battle cost money?

This year's military budget, on the surface, seems to have reached 17.00% of the entire Ming Dynasty's finances, but in fact it is about 500 million taels. Farts are not counted, let alone used to pay for other messy military expenses.

Therefore, in the face of places where money is needed everywhere, let alone 3000 million taels of silver, even if it is [-] million taels of silver, it is estimated that there will be no money left.

Like the original 200 million taels of silver in the Daming Treasury, in fact it is no longer owned by the Daming Treasury in name.

It is used to deal with sudden disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides. Unless it is not used by next year, it will be used as the balance of the previous year and injected into the national treasury as a reserve for the next year. .

Therefore, under such circumstances, he suddenly earned more than 300 million taels of silver from the barbarians in Europe. Could the emperor Zhu Jinsong be unhappy?
It's just that Zhu Jinsong is happy, but Liu Huaiwen, the leader of the Ming Dynasty's financial system, is not happy at all——

After knowing that there were more than 300 million taels of silver in the national treasury, Zhu Erdan, who represented the military system, came to the door together with Liu Heming, Liu Erniu and others, expressing that he wanted to use the 300 million taels of silver to conquer the world, and then used Zeng The civil service system represented by Cheng also came to the door, saying that they needed to use the 300 million taels to build schools or build bridges and pave roads.

In short, every penny is clearly arranged, and Liu Huaiwen, the financial department of Ming Dynasty, is so angry that he even wants to kill those bastards who come to ask for money with a knife.

The 3000 million taels of silver collected last year were taken away by these bastards before they were warmed up. More than 800 million taels were taken away, and the remaining 200 million taels were used as an emergency. Now these bastards are targeting the newly entered treasury 300 million taels?
What makes Liu Huaiwen even more desperate is that those in the civil service system like Zeng Cheng are easier to talk about, but the killers in the military system like Zhu Erdan and Liu Heming are obviously instigated by the emperor Zhu Jinsong to come to ask for money. of.

He is his mother!

If all the 300 million taels are paid out, if something happens again, the national treasury will really be empty, you bastard!

After kicking and cursing away Zhu Erdan, Liu Heming, Liu Ergou and others, Liu Huaiwen cursed and ordered all his subordinates while tapping the pot of dry tobacco: "If you see them coming to ask for money in the future, just close the door and let them go." Dog, kill one and count as one!"

"Damn it, I don't know that they still have money? This isn't the end of the year, the 500 million taels allocated to them, there must be at least 200 million taels left unspent!"

"The emperor wants to fight, so let him fight with the silver from the internal funds. Anyway, the 300 million taels of silver in the treasury have to be kept for emergency."

But, Liu Huaiwen obviously didn't know that there was a law called Murphy's Law - the more worried about something happened, the more likely it would happen.
