"Yes, Your Majesty." Cai Ge nodded, and repeated Yang Chendong's request. And the next time was that Zhu Qizhen and several eunuch leaders were discussing how much silver taels they needed to train the new army this time, and how many people they needed to trade.

As Yang Chendong imagined, he really didn't pay much attention to the population of Zhu Qizhen. Especially after Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong were occupied by the Minwang forces, many displaced people escaped from there, and now they are entrenched in the southeastern provinces, and even many are coming to the vicinity of Nanjing.

According to the officials below, the presence of these displaced people has greatly affected law and order in other places. Among them, it is a big problem to solve just their eating, drinking, and Lazar, which often causes headaches for other local officials.

This time, it may be possible to send these people out of the country through a deal, and it is to be seen whether this will increase the mercenary army. Hehe, let's not say that they don't provide the population, isn't there any other way for mercenaries? Let's just say how difficult it will be to let these poor homeless people form an army, these people are not well fed and clothed, and their health is generally not good, otherwise, Nanming himself will recruit them into the army, otherwise, the forces of King Min will not let them leave their territory lightly.

In short, these people are like chicken ribs in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, and even most of them are still burdensome, so they just took the opportunity to give them to the mercenaries, let them have a headache, or let them worry about it, and save themselves from going to a strong army to threaten themselves.

After thinking about it, Zhu Qizhen began to ask the three eunuch leaders to count the displaced population. According to him, except for the able-bodied young men and beautiful young women, all other outcasts could be traded. If he gets a large amount of gold and silver, Nanming will have the strength to train the new army and strengthen himself.

The number of displaced people has already been reported by local officials, and the number has reached as high as 5 million. Most of them are displaced people in Guangdong, because they have been prepared for a long time, waiting for the forces of King Min to occupy a place in Guangdong, basically except for getting some fields and houses, the population is very small. In Guangdong alone, the number of displaced people has reached nearly 3 million.

Of the five million, women and men account for almost one-third each, and the elderly and children account for almost one-sixth each. In this way, the approximate accounts also come to a result.

The woman is about 1.5 million, and each person has 20 taels of silver, which is 30 million taels of silver.

The old man is about 900,000 yuan, and each person has five taels of silver, which is 4.5 million taels of silver.

The children are about 900,000, and each person has 15 taels of silver, which is 13.5 million taels.

There are about 1 million men (Nanming has 500,000 people and more than 1 million people), and 500,000 taels per person is 50 million taels.

Taken together, the total population was about 4.3 million men, and 298 million silver could be obtained from the trade.

When the numbers came out, even Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but gasp. He didn't expect that just some vagrants could increase his financial income so much. Once there are these 98 million taels, then Nanming's economy will be revitalized, not only will there be money for training the new army, but also more armor and weapons can be created, and at the same time, it can also be used to rejuvenate the country, and it is not impossible for Nanming to make a earth-shaking change.

"Haha, good, good, good." said three good words in a row, completely revealing the excitement in Zhu Qizhen's heart. "Spread my will, and order all the state capitals to send all the displaced people to the land of Songjiang Prefecture. Well, not only the homeless, but also the traitors in various places, and the people who have repeatedly taught and refused to change are also sent to Songjiang Mansion at the same time. Companion, this matter will be left to you and Cai Zhong Aiqing to do it together. By the way, don't forget the fourth brother of the Yang family, immediately lift the surveillance on him, and ask him to quickly contact the Yang family bank and tell him the specific amount of money we can trade, but don't they can't get enough silver at that time. ”

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen had already thrown Yang Chendong's threat theory aside. What he has to do now is how to make Nanming rise again under his leadership.

Zhu Qizhen's holy decrees were issued without discussion among the ministers. The reason why he did this was because he didn't want to give people a tongue and go to a lawsuit of words. With his knowledge of the ministers, once he knew that he had a human and trade deal with mercenaries, he would definitely stand up and stop it.

Although these courtiers have long been helpless against the homeless people. But they have been reading the books of sages since they were children, and naturally they all want to learn to be saints. Such an abandonment of the people would not have been agreed.

Even if they won't agree, then why bother with their permission, I'm the emperor.

It's just that there are no airtight pants in the world, let alone such a large number of people involved in this matter, and it didn't take a day for the ministers below to know about it. Then one by one they hurried towards the palace, needless to say that they had come to advise.

In this regard, Zhu Qizhen had already prepared and refused to meet anyone on the grounds that he was unwell. As for whether they will make trouble after they can't see anyone, then let them go. If it weren't for the ancestral training that Daming had early Ming and couldn't punish the doctor, he really wouldn't mind finding a few people to open the knife at this time, and kill the majesty of those courtiers who only know how to eat, drink and enjoy themselves every day, and are useless at all at critical times.

When the will was issued, the first person to benefit was naturally Yang Yang, the fourth master of the Yang family.

Originally, he stayed in Jianning Mansion for a good time, but suddenly a group of brocade guards came, and they took him away from the Yang family's ancestral house without saying anything.

There were a lot of people who saw this scene at that time, and Li Daotong, the prefect of Jianning, wanted to stop it, because he knew that this person was the brother of the loyal and courageous father, and once something happened in his own territory, could he get rid of it?

But when he appeared with a group of government officials, he saw that all the people who came were wearing flying fish suits, black gauze hats, luan belts, and embroidered spring knives on their waists, and he was immediately intimidated. These are all the emperor's people, if he dares to stand up and say a word, I'm afraid he will be arrested together.

Seeing that Li Daotong didn't dare to breathe, Yang Yang didn't blame him. Even for the scene in front of him, he had already prepared. He has always heard about some of the things his sixth brother has done, and his achievements are high, and it is only a matter of time before the Yang family is implicated.

So along the way, Yang Yang didn't shout or make trouble, so he followed Jinyiwei and left Jianning Mansion. His cooperation also saved him from the pain of flesh and skin. Not long after leaving Jianning, a group of Jinyi guards came, announcing in person that this time Emperor Yingzong invited him to Nanjing as an official.

With the arrival of these brocade guards, his treatment has also been improved, at least no one is giving him any look in person. As soon as he entered Nanjing, he was placed in a small courtyard and detained.

Although there is no restriction on his personal freedom, no one will stop him even if he wants to go shopping. But there are always some brocade guards in front of him and behind him, which also makes him know that he is still being watched. After thinking about it, the reason why these people didn't make a move on him was probably because the power on the sixth brother's side was rising, and they didn't want to anger the sixth brother before the matter was decided.

In this way, less than twenty days later, another holy decree suddenly appeared in front of him. He was chartered by the current Emperor Yingzong as the general representative of the Yang Family Bank in Nanming. For a while, all the brocade guards around him were withdrawn, but this was really withdrawn, and no one came to monitor him.

As soon as he regained his freedom, he saw the current eunuch leader Cao Jixiang appear in front of him, first comforted him for a while, and then told him about the population and trade problems between Nanming and Zhongdangong, and asked him to hurry up the selection of sites in Nanjing, Songjiang Mansion and Jianning Mansion, and then raise silver taels.

Fly on the branch as a phoenix, although this is mostly to describe women, but it can also be compared to what happened to Yang Yang at this time.

Just as Cao Jixiang and his people left, a platoon of Leng Feng appeared in front of him. The person who led the team was the Silver Tiger Platoon Commander that Yang Yang had seen, who had stayed in Yangjiazhuang outside the Beijing Division of the Northern Ming Dynasty and was one of Yang Chendong's trusted subordinates.

The arrival of Yinhu is not only to protect the safety of the fourth master Yang Yang, but also to help him prepare for the Yang Family Bank. Many of the contacts with the Security Service have been made through him. It's not that Yang Chendong doesn't trust his fourth brother, he really doesn't want the fourth brother to get involved in dangerous things.

The matter of Nan Ming's trade with mercenaries and human trafficking was blowing like a gust of wind in various places, and for a while, various forces reacted differently.

When the matter reached the Northern Ming Dynasty, Daizong Zhu Qiyu was silent at first, and then reprimanded Zhu Qizhen loudly in front of the military officials under him.

"Since Taizu established the Ming Dynasty, my Ming Dynasty has benefited thousands of people, determined to let them live a good life, when has there been a saying about trading the people? This Zhu Qizhen is clearly ignoring the laws of his ancestors. "Zhu Qiyu of this meeting has already been on an equal footing with Zhu Qizhen, and unlike before, he has to call his cousin at least by name.

Zhu Qiyu was on fire on the golden dragon chair, and all the courtiers below bowed their heads and were silent. To say that the Ming Dynasty was built at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there are indeed some rules, such as not being in harmony, not being in harmony, not paying tribute, the Son of Heaven guarding the country, the king dying and so on. This is already much tougher than other dynasties. But there is nothing in these rules that you can't trade with the people. Not to mention, in order to survive, Nanming even gave the king with a different surname to be sealed, and now what is it for the sake of military spending to trade the displaced people?
