Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 343 I Have No Money
Regarding Zhu Jinsong's random designation of the Bauhinia flower of the Silly Eagle, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs didn't think there was anything wrong with it. I don't want to, as long as Daming needs it, then the silly thief must have a piggy transfer center.

Just buying and selling piglets can only solve the shortage of labor in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming court is still facing the problem of relocating people to Louisiana. After all, the area of ​​Louisiana is there. The surnames are distributed throughout Louisiana, and it is estimated that it is a picture with a large area and a particularly sparse population.

This also means that the [-] people must be distributed in several key points in Louisiana.

Then the problem is coming.

It is not difficult to relocate [-] people from Daming. After all, there is a gold mine in Silly Eagle's house. This news is enough to attract hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to move to Silly Eagle's house.

But ordinary people are not the army after all, even if most of them are young and strong who have received formal military training, it is impossible to enforce orders like the army, and they are countless times worse in terms of strategy and tactics.

If the foolish eagle is really forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, then how can the safety of the [-] people be guaranteed?

Although Zhu Jinsong thinks that the stupid thief eagle should not have the guts to jump over the wall, isn't this just in case? Back then, the old woman who had eaten rare dared to declare war on the little broken ball, let alone the eleven countries. Silly Jaeger hasn't lost the chain like Daqing.

Therefore, Zhu Jinsong finally decided to be on the safe side, based on the principle that even if he couldn't prevent the thief for a thousand days, he should at least scare the thief so much that he dared not move.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Jinsong simply told Shen Yongfu, the leader of the Ministry of War: "Go back and count the soldiers who have retired in the past few years, and see if there are any who are willing to go to Louisiana. The treatment is except for those who migrated as ordinary people. In addition to giving them, an additional batch of ordnance in the army will be allocated to them."

Hearing what Zhu Jinsong said, the eyes of Zeng Cheng, Zhu Erdan and other big shots lit up.

According to the current military system of the Ming Dynasty, all soldiers who have retired from active service at the end of their service period will automatically be transferred to the reserve service for a period of five years. Once the battle is tight, they must obey the call-up unconditionally. Veterans who have been retired for more than five years.

Of course, the relocation of [-] retired veterans to Louisiana will not involve any question of whether it will be five years or ten years, let alone urgent recruitment when the war is tight.

However, the number of veterans retired by Daming in the past five years is about 50, if not 30. If you count the veterans who retired before, it is estimated that it is still very easy to collect 80.

Moreover, Zeng Cheng, Zhu Erdan and other bigwigs can be sure that although these veterans have all retired from the army, as long as these retired soldiers are equipped with equipment, these people will be an army capable of fighting well!

More importantly, these [-] retired veterans are much better than recruiting [-] trained militiamen—whether they have been on the battlefield or not, the military skills and discipline mastered by the veterans who received military training in the army, They are far superior to the militia that only trains during the slack season!

But what Zeng Cheng thought was more profound.

One hundred thousand veterans are behind one hundred thousand families!
There are 30 families, even if each family is an ordinary family of three, there are [-] people in [-] families.

This also means that in addition to stationing [-] troops in Louisiana, Ming also gathered the people who opened up the wasteland!
Simply kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking that the problem that was still a pain was solved in such a simple way, Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs couldn't help but show a gleam of joy on their faces.

Liu Huaiwen even said with a smile: "When Your Majesty made the rule that veterans should retire after serving for a certain number of years, many of us objected, thinking that veterans are treasures in the army, and retiring veterans is tantamount to losing the army. combat power."

"But now it seems that the rule of veterans retiring from active service after a certain number of years actually makes our Ming Dynasty have hundreds of thousands more reserve troops every year."

"Your Majesty's foresight and foresight are indeed beyond the reach of the ministers."

Zhu Jinsong laughed, and said: "When did Uncle Huaiwen learn to flatter? It's a pity, I don't like your tricks - I don't have any money left in my money, it's up to you The funds allocated by the treasury still have to be allocated by your treasury.”

The compliment on Liu Huaiwen's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As Zhu Jinsong said, Liu Huaiwen didn't hold back any good farts when he complimented Zhu Jinsong from the beginning, but planned to hold the treasury mouse and cry twice, so as to get some money from Zhu Jinsong's internal money Come.

As for the benefits of soldiers having to retire from active service after a certain number of years... who can get into the top positions in the court, is there any idiot who can't see it?
Seeing that the idea of ​​getting money from internal funds came to naught, Liu Huaiwen simply hummed and said, "Isn't this an empty treasury—think about it, Your Majesty, although the price quoted by Louis XVI is relatively low, but after all It is more than 3000 million acres, which is 3000 million taels of silver."

"In addition to the construction of the railway network and road network, the national treasury spends money. Now there is another big item to buy piglets. By the way, there is also the expenditure of relocating people to Louisiana. If we spend another 3000 million at once Two silvers, isn't this going to empty the treasury?"

Zhu Jinsong glanced at Liu Huaiwen, and asked, "Does Uncle Huaiwen still want to say that the treasury is now empty enough to run away mice or starve to death?"

When Zhu Jinsong said this, Liu Huaiwen was choked and speechless.

As the saying goes, I know my own affairs, how much money is in the Ming treasury, and Liu Huaiwen in the entire Ming Dynasty knows best - many warehouses in the treasury are full of gold and silver, and there is not even a grain of grain , Don’t you have to starve the mice to death!
As for the grain... In addition to the regular warehouses in all prefectures and counties and the reserve warehouses in each township in Ming Dynasty, there are also several additional large grain warehouses distributed by each chief envoy, which together are enough for the people of Ming Dynasty to lie at home Eating three years' worth of grain would probably feed a large number of rats to death!

There is also the fact that it takes 3000 million taels of silver to buy Louisiana, so there is no pressure on the treasury.

Not to mention that [-] taels of silver could be withdrawn from the treasury of Ming Dynasty at any time, even if the treasury could not withdraw a penny, it would not affect the progress of the Louisiana Purchase transaction.

Because Louis XVI still owes Daming one billion dragon yuan, which is equivalent to [-] million taels of silver, and Louis XVI, a bastard, doesn't know what he thinks. He has been repaying the money steadily all these years, and then Borrowing money very steadily is always in a state of being in arrears.

In other words, the 3000 million taels of silver owed by Daming to Louis XVI can be deducted from the 7000 million taels of silver. After the deduction, Louis XVI still owes Daming [-] million taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Liu Huaiwen simply hummed twice, and then turned the topic around to Louis XVI: "But I don't know what Louis XVI is doing? After all, it was a transaction of 3000 million taels of silver, and this guy didn't know anything at all. urgent?"

Zhu Jinsong let out a laugh, thinking that the method Liu Laojiao used to change the subject was really blunt.

However, Zhu Jinsong is really curious about what this guy Louis XVI is doing. After all, this guy came to Da Ming in a hurry to poke the lung tube of the Silly Jaeger together with Daming. After being poked hard by Daming, Louis XVI should feel at ease, right?
While Zhu Jinsong and others were studying Louis XVI, Louis XVI was comfortably teaching Jefferson, the third generation leader of the Silly Eagle.
