Ten thousand more every day, the new subscriptions are around 7,000, and the bones swear that if the daily new subscriptions can exceed 10,000, the number of daily updates will increase by two more!

If there is an alliance leader Da Jue appearing, more than three chapters must be added.

I changed my mind and face, and I swore to bend my knees to the RMB to the end!

………..

Zhao Quan and Hu Shihai walked on the front foot, and the father-in-law on the back foot called Zheng Duo.

"You are in charge of our money, we don't count how much we have spent, and we don't ask, you just tell us how much silver we have now?" My father-in-law made a long story short, he was going to take stock of his belongings.

The reason for taking inventory of belongings is that there is a squatting gold-swallowing beast waiting for my father-in-law next.

And this squatting and devouring gold beast must be built by the father-in-law, and he can't cut corners at all, and he must supply the maximum amount of materials.

This gold-swallowing beast is the expansion of the armed forces.

In May, according to the consistent plan of Gonggong and Shen, the Ming Emperor's army will go south to Penghu and join forces with the military forces of Zhejiang and Fujian to attack Dongfan.

The main purpose of the crusade was to conquer the natives on Dongfan Island, repel or exterminate the possible existence of Western states and Japanese forces, and establish at least two military bases in Dongfan, which were jointly stationed by land, sea and horses, so that the northern and southern seas could be isolated, and taxes were collected from ships coming and going with strong military force.

At the same time, Dongfan will also become the stronghold and transit point of the Ming maritime merchants, if possible, the Fujian region will also write to the imperial court, change the land in the east, and migrate the Han people from the mainland to the island to reproduce, so that Dongfan can completely become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

After the occupation of Tohoban, troops were sent to the Ryukyus, and the nature of the use of troops was the same as that of the occupation of Toho.

The core of the plan is actually to sit on the ground and collect money.

This plan was able to get the support and consent of Shen Yiyi and Wanli, and the fundamental reason was that Wei Gonggong depicted to them the importance of Dongfan in the sea trade, and depicted the beautiful scene of sitting on the ground and collecting money.

For the Fujian-Zhejiang Maritime Business Group, which has always been represented by Shen, the acquisition of Dongfan is of great benefit to their profit growth, and it is also a geometric growth for the expansion of maritime trade.

Therefore, even if the Wei eunuchs came out of nowhere and had a conflict of interest with them, if the Wei eunuchs could persuade the emperor to approve the southeast sea expansion, so that their interests could not be damaged and at the same time they could grow, they would be able to swallow their anger.

After all, those who do business will never get along with money, and it is still the approval of the Prime Minister of the Four Ming Dynasty.

As far as Wanli is concerned, he doesn't care how to expand the southeast sea, how much manpower and material resources to use, he only knows that sitting on the ground to collect money, and the silver that flows continuously to the inner treasury is the most beautiful thing in heaven and earth.

For this reason, he can silently support it, and he can even be promoted to the fake eunuch to be the guard of Jiangnan, but if after the expiration, His Majesty the Emperor can't see what he wants, and he will never be able to run away after the autumn.

Father-in-law Wei's side, he can't run if he wants to, his father and eldest brother are all in his hometown, and there are three good friends in the capital and a son who recognizes others as his father.

If you can't run, your father-in-law must take the first step, or the first shot.

Then, the expansion of the army of the Ming Imperial Army is imperative.

The existing army strength is roughly only more than 3,000 in six battalions, and this point the army is rampant and domineering in the north and south of the river, forcing the governor of Yingtian to dare to scold and dare not move, but it is definitely not enough to deal with the upcoming Dongfan campaign.

You must know that no matter how bad the Dongfan natives are, they are still hundreds of thousands, not to mention the possible emergence of Western countries and Japanese forces, so the scale of more than 3,000 armies is completely unable to cope with this war.

The result is that at least one division of the army is needed to take Taiwan in a so-so manner.

For the army force named the Ming Imperial Army after the expansion, it is not the bad taste of the father-in-law, but the result of careful consideration.

My father-in-law hoped that one day, he would be able to lead the combined fleet to knock on the door of the Edo shogunate, and after the elite army division landed, he would open the way with a sharp knife to show the capital and people of Japan the power of the Ming soldiers!

In order to expand the division and regiment, in addition to recruiting soldiers, the most important thing must be money and food.

When you become a soldier, you have to be paid, and the salary set by your father-in-law for officers and soldiers is higher than that of Jiubian in the same period, and with food, clothing, housing, and weapons and equipment, the annual expenditure of an officer and soldier is about 30 taels.

If the establishment of the first class division of the three brigades is calculated, the full force is at least 27,000 people. This means that just to maintain the army strength of a division, my father-in-law has to invest nearly one million taels a year.

What is it if it's not a gold swallower?

At present, the imperial court tax revenue is only more than 4 million a year.

But if you swallow the money, your father-in-law will have to do it, and only if you do it, will you have a better tomorrow.

……….

Because he followed his father-in-law at the beginning of his career and was loyal, although Zheng Duo is now a senior general with the rank of general in the Ming Imperial Army, he is more of the general account of his father-in-law Wei.

From a silver ticket to a copper plate, every money that my father-in-law has made in the past year or so is in Zheng Duo's custody. The treasury is the silver treasury of the original Wusong Water Battalion, which is specially guarded by hundreds of sergeants.

Speaking of which, Zheng Duo is also bitter. Although he is half a Confucian student, after he ran away from North Korea, what he has done for more than ten years is a career as a horse bandit who kills people and extorts goods, kidnaps people and kidnaps tickets, and has changed from a strongman who licks blood from a knife to a big steward who manages accounts and money, which is really awkward and awkward.

If it weren't for the fact that his father-in-law really trusted him, Zheng Duo wouldn't want to get his hands dirty.

Gonggong Wei also knew that Zheng Duo was unwilling to be this housekeeper, so he sent a letter to Jiang Fangyin, who was laid off with a cheap teacher, and hired this professional staff member to take care of these affairs for him.

Zheng Duo still has to charge into battle for his father-in-law Wei to fight the world.

Although it was a little strange why his father-in-law ordered his belongings, Zheng Duo did not hesitate, and immediately went to the treasury to get the account books and reported them one by one.

The more than 200,000 taels that my father-in-law had obtained from Chen Zeng, the superintendent of mines in Shandong, had already been spent, and the major purchases after that were mainly "loans" from Yangzhou salt merchants, roughly 420,000 taels, 100,000 taels from the Zhenjiang prefect, 340,000 taels from the gentry and merchants in the city who "took the money for the crime," and the more than 100,000 taels that had been confiscated and "extorted" from Taizhou, Gaoyou, and other places, and more than 60,000 taels that were "robbed" from the Dinghaiwei Zhongzuo Office in Zhoushan, together the total income last year was not low, and it was as much as 1.2 million taels.

But this is the income on the books, but there is none.

Because of the huge expenditure, the Royal Navy and the Army alone spent more than 400,000 taels of money and food last year, but such a large sum of money was less than 50 taels on the heads of each officer and soldier.

Of course, the reason why he used so much on the army was mainly because in order to seize power and win people's hearts at the beginning, his father-in-law threw money at officers and soldiers.

Otherwise, it will be less than 200,000 taels.

The annual cost of money and grain received by Wusong Shuiying from the Ying Tian Governor was more than 180,000 taels, which still included the result of eating empty salaries.

The Guangdong Navy Division, which went out to fight during the War to Resist Japanese Aggression and Aid Korea, spent nearly 2 million taels on military expenditure. It can be seen that in the eyes of officials, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who did not have a war were better than beggars, and they could not starve to death, that is, the officials thought about the court.
