Chapter 123 As long as you are willing to wait, there will always be wonderful things happening

Yun Zhao's four years of Chongzhen will come soon, and for Yun Zhao, it is a little boring, a little lazy, and a little wasted time.

However, for the Ming Dynasty, with the arrival of Chongzhen's four years, the world did not get better.

The thieves entered Shanxi and actively attacked Hequ as a foothold.

In January, the meanders fell.

After the loss of Hequ, the Jin army was defeated, and a large number of guest troops entered Shanxi and assembled in the area of Hequ.

For this reason, the imperial court set up Du Wenhuan, the chief soldier of Shanxi, to command and dispatch in a unified manner.

Cao Wenzhao, deputy commander-in-chief of Yansui East Road, led the Guanning Army to the south of Hequ.

The giant king Jiayin guarded the river and could not come out.

With the expansion of the scale of operations, Shanxi's degree of river defense against the Yellow River is also improving.

The supply line in the east of Yansui was cut off, and the transportation in the south and west was not smooth, and the price of goods in Yansui reached one stone and six taels.

In this case, it is necessary not only to pay the military but also to provide relief to the victims. The household department issued 60,000 taels of silver as the spring salary of the Yansui soldiers, and the two departments of the household soldiers jointly issued 100,000 taels as disaster relief silver.

The 100,000 taels of silver were taken by Wu Fu to Shanxi for relief.

There is no large amount of grain entering Shanxi, and silver alone is just a cake to satisfy the hunger of the people of Shanxi.

At Hong Chengchou's suggestion, Wu Fu transferred to Lantian County to buy grain from Yunzhao.

Zhang Yingchang, deputy chief soldier of Dingbian in the first month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zuo Guang killed the giant god one yuan before the security guard, but unfortunately failed to defeat the enemy in a battle, and the rest attached to the god and vowed to slaughter the people of the security area.

It's just that the grain and grass are not enough, so I had to follow the back path of Wang Jiayin, Luo Rucai, and others, and crossed the Yellow River into Shanxi.

Li Hongji and Zhang Xianzhong, while plundering the Quartet in Shanxi, fought fiercely with the officials and troops, that is, through a series of fierce battles, Li Hongji finally obtained the name of "breaking general", and Zhang Xianzhong also shocked Shanxi with the name of "Eight Kings".

When the whole of Yansui, as well as the meanders of Shanxi, the north of Henan, and the east of Gansu, are made into a pot of porridge, Lantian County is safe and boring.

The displaced people continued to enter Lantian County, and despite Yun Zhao's order to seal the border, the displaced people still looked for every opportunity to enter Lantian County.

As long as they entered Lantian County, they joined relatives and friends one after another, and asked people to help them settle down in Lantian County at any cost.

In December of the third year of Chongzhen, there were only more than 24,000 households under Yun Zhao's command, and in March of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the number of registered households in Lantian County reached an appalling 35,000 households, and the population of Lantian County increased by 10,000 households in one year, which was almost forty percent of the original household registration in Lantian County.

The displaced people who can enter Lantian County through various channels and obtain household registration cannot be called displaced people, most of the families are upper households, and the most poor ones are also middle households, and only such families can afford the expensive price of household registration in Lantian County.

"When the Han Emperor moved 100,000 households into the customs, it was just this scale."

Xu Yuanshou glanced at the population book of Lantian County again, and couldn't help but sigh.

Yun Zhao said: "Chang'an County was troubled by Hao Shaoqi, Gao Yigong, He Jin made a mess of Fufeng County and Qianxian County, and Xiangfan behind us is also full of thieves, and it is really difficult for the people of the world to find a stable place to live." ”

Xu Yuanshou said: "As long as you are rich, you are not allowed to enter Lantian County, which will hurt the peace." ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "Sir, blame me, the reason why the population of Lantian County has skyrocketed is not that the rich have come in, but the poor have come in."

An upper household can bring three lower households into Lantian County together, which is the main reason for the population explosion in Lantian County.

It's just that the rich households entering Lantian County are more discussing, while the poor and small households enter Lantian County together with the upper households, so everyone only says that the upper households have a big business. ”

"The land in your Lantian County can't support so many people...... Even if you always have something to do and expand the boundary pillars, you won't be able to feed so many people. ”

"I'm ready to do business, it's impossible for all these people to farm, I don't have that much land, and I don't need so many people to farm."

"I heard that you have united with Jindi businessmen and are ready to develop foreign business together?"

"That's right, it's a big deal, and if done well, it can feed a lot of people."

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the rice I ate was taken from the merchants of Jindi, right?"

"Business is like a battlefield, division and integration are commonplace, Mr. was originally an open-minded person, why has he become pedantic now?"

Xu Yuanshou shook his head and said: "I'm just sorry for the Jindi businessman who does business with you, what kind of business partner is not easy to choose, but I chose a robber." ”

Yun Zhao smiled without saying a word, took out six dollars, and bought two hemp balls from the roadside vendor stall, one handed to Mr. and the other was eaten by himself.

Xu Yuanshou raised his eyes to look at the two-mile-long grass market on both sides of the street, then looked down at the hemp ball in his hand, took a bite of the hemp ball and said to Yun Zhao: "Three dollars for a hemp ball?" ”

Yun Zhao's eyes smiled crookedly, and he held the hemp ball and said to Xu Yuanshou: "Sir, my family thinks that my greatest achievement is that I have obtained the arsenal and become a county order, but I don't know that it is my greatest achievement in the past two years to make the hemp ball in our hands become a piece of sanwen money." ”

Xu Yuanshou and Yun Zhao stood in front of the stall selling hemp balls, watching passers-by come in an endless stream to buy the hemp balls that had just come out of the pot, and their faces showed satisfaction.

"A pillar of incense sold twelve hemp balls in time, and I got thirty-six dollars."

"Take the household registration book and take thirty-six dollars to the grain depot to buy six catties of grain!"

"Huh? The price of grain in Lantian County has fallen to the point of six cents per catty? ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "No, there are a lot of doorways in this, and students can't tell it clearly for a while, there are a lot of algorithms involved, such as white rice is needed to make hemp balls, and white rice has a different price from wheat, millet, and millet seeds, which is very troublesome to convert."

However, since there is a business where a hemp ball sells three cents, it is necessary for a hemp ball to earn a penny.

This is the benefit I have given to the people, and it is also their way to support their families. ”

"Why did you give it to you?"

"Do you know how much food is going to cost outside?"

"Until, Brother Liu Zhang has just returned from Hancheng Province, and the price of grain there is about to be compared to gold.

By the way, you don't have to worry about someone taking your low-priced food and selling it outside? ”

"Don't worry, there is a lot of low-cost food that every household can buy, and we will ensure that the people's rations are low-priced, and they will not have excess grain to buy and sell."

"What do you say?"

Yun Zhao laughed silently, took out a few copper coins from his arms and handed them to Xu Yuanshou.

Xu Yuanshou carefully looked at the copper coin in his hand, and saw that the copper coin was golden in color, the handwriting was clear, and it was heavy in his hand, unlike other copper coins that were light and weightless.

"This is the copper coin you minted privately?" Xu Yuanshou was taken aback.

Yun Zhao looked at his husband and said: "I will never risk the world's disapproval, Shaanxi has a money bureau, these money is minted by the money bureau, and the Shaanxi money bureau is helping the wind, I made some copper materials, and then obtained a batch of this money."

In the Ming Dynasty, from Emperor Hongwu to Emperor Shenzong, there were a total of 12 generations, but there were only six coins, and only 190,000 were minted each time.

Since Emperor Shenzong, new money has been minted every year, and new money has been minted every year...... Then everybody began to use silver.

I don't think that's right, sir, what do you think? ”

Xu Yuanshou put Yun Zhao's handful of money into his sleeve, looked at the grass market under the Jade Mountain with his back hand, and after a long time, he said to Yun Zhao: "Grow up early, your current body can no longer contain your ambitions." ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "Take your time, I'm not in a hurry at all, I even wish that the time would stop at Chongzhen for four years, so that I can have a few more years of preparation time, so that we can do things better and more properly."

The days ahead are not easy, and we need to be prepared enough to face the storms ahead. ”

"Li Taibai said: I can't hang a long rope in the blue sky to tie this white day of flying west, and the time of Yunzhao can't stop."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "In that case, Mr. is willing to give me a slave craftsman from the Hao Realm back?" ”

Xu Yuanshou sighed and said: "I am already on the way here, my brother bought a lot for you, he doesn't think it's a hurtful thing, but thinks it's a good deed, and there are two Jesuit priests who will also come together." ”

"Who are they?" Yun Zhao's big eyes sparkled.

"Deng Yuhan, Luo Yagu, my brother also wrote that you can visit the Jesuits Jinnige and Tang Ruowang, who are missionaries in Xi'an."
