The emperor was unhappy, and Zhang Fengyi, who was even more embarrassed, explained: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that trust is too important, and the 'King of Hanjiang County' has too many whimsical ideas.

He was able to make too many unique good things, and the soldiers trusted him immensely, so the capital of raising millions of taels of silver coins was able to be achieved overnight.

The products produced by the factory invested by the 'Hangang Junwang' are well-known and are definitely sought-after among similar products in the market, so of course everyone can rest assured that they will hand over the silver to him for investment. ”

These Chongzhen all know that the dressing mirrors, flush toilets, perfumes, soaps, towels, tooth powder, table clocks in the imperial study, fierce oil lamps, etc. used by the concubines in the palace are all "produced by the Huang family".

If it weren't for Huang Han's ability to make money, how could he afford to raise the huge "Red Flag Army"?

Chongzhen even arranged the royal prison, the silver bureau, and the war bureau to jointly imitate table clocks, flush toilets, tinned pipes and other products.

However, due to the high cost of raw materials, the craftsmen under the jurisdiction of the 12th Supervisor, the 4th Division, and the 8th Bureau had no enthusiasm for production at all, and they could not get any profit at all.

Seeing that Zhang Fengyi couldn't get the point of what he said, Wu Xiang hurriedly got back to business and said, "Your Majesty, the 'King of Hanjiang County' is expected to invest millions of taels of silver in Qiongzhou Mansion in seven or eight years.

Therefore, the garrison is required and the military control is carried out. The aim is to ensure the success of the rubber tree planting and to ensure the security of the investment.

As for Shoufu's belief that the annual tax of 50,000 taels of silver contracted by the Qiongzhou Mansion was less, the minister thought that it could be done.

In the eight years when the rubber trees were not produced, the Qiongzhou government paid taxes at 50,000 taels of silver per year, and in the ninth year, when the rubber plantations were able to make profits, the Qiongzhou government paid taxes at 80,000 taels of silver per year. ”

Chongzhen was a little confused when he heard it, how did he know how much tax to draw? I only know that the total amount of taxes that the Qiongzhou Mansion can pay to the imperial court today is definitely less than 50,000 taels of snowflake silver a year.

In fact, although the Qiongzhou Mansion is poor, the total amount of taxes and miscellaneous taxes far exceeds 50,000 taels of silver, but the imperial court does not get it, and more than eighty percent is the local additional distribution, which is the handling fee of thousands of officials.

Under the Sunshine of the "Red Banner Army", all the additional factions on Hainan Island will be abolished.

Serious and capable officials do not need to worry about losing their good jobs in the yamen, they will be hired, and they will be paid a monthly salary and a clear bonus, and the amount will definitely be able to support their families.

Relying on the high-ranking officials in the fish and meat township in the background, of course, their fate will not be good, and the raids on their homes, confiscated fines, sentenced to labor reform, and beheadings will depend on the severity of the crime and whether the attitude of admitting guilt is good.

The story of Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, tells us that the same piece of land and a group of people, if you change policies and regulations, you will get completely different results.

Once the Qiongzhou Mansion is touched by Huang Han, it will fully implement the policies and regulations of "Hanjiang Province", not only will the life of the common people be prosperous, but the tax balance will definitely be far greater than 50,000 taels of silver a year.

Huang Han has never resisted paying taxes, and the tax rate of Daming is really not high, Zhang Fengyi, Wu Xiang and others have the bottom line of 100,000 taels of silver a year given by Huang Han.

The reason why they are still bargaining is to show the effect of their negotiations.

It doesn't matter if Chongzhen doesn't understand the economy, the cabinet minister Cheng Guoxiang, the head of the household department Li Zhiwen and many other officials understand! Next, they bargained with Zhang Fengyi and Wu Xiang, and listened to Liu Zhilun's constant slander.

He was sober-minded, and did not think that the imperial court would have any great effect on tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, and the top priority at the moment should be to eliminate the hidden danger that after the Yellow River froze, Liukou and Jiannu once again plagued Henan, Zhongdu, and Gyeonggi, causing immeasurable losses.

Liu Zhilun whispered to Zheng Guochang, who was like an old monk:

"Zheng Ge Lao, the military disasters continue, Henan and Zhongdu can no longer withstand the toss, if this winter is going to be plagued by the rogues and Jiannu again, I am afraid that the million-strong army of the rogues is not a claim, but a real fight.

Allowing the rogue to develop unbridled will not only damage the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, but will also seriously affect the interests of the 'Red Flag Army', and temporarily restricting the rogue to Shaanxi is the most practical strategy. ”

Zheng Guochang whispered: "Jiannu's vitality is not injured, where will he be willing to admit defeat easily?" There is no doubt that the 'Red Banner Army' will face a big war and a vicious battle, and it is good to have more troops of 1,000 troops at this time.

In the old man's opinion, Huang Han should send the 'Red Flag Army' from Shanxi and Henan out of the customs to strengthen joint training, and strive to go down to Shenyang City in a war, in case of a tug-of-war, there will be extraneous branches!

Huang Han's reliance is on the powerful 'Red Banner Army', and if he is trapped in the Liaodong battlefield for two or three years, I am afraid that the attitude of the imperial court will change, and I am afraid that it will not end well. ”

Having seen Jiannu ravage in the land of Gyeonggi, and famous generals such as Mangui and Zhao Shujiao who were able to fight and dared to fight were destroyed and sunk in the sand, Zheng Guochang never underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry.

Seeing that Huang Han led the 'Red Flag Army' to gradually approach the hinterland of eastern Liao, the heart of the old man Zheng Guochang has been hanging, he thinks that the big things are not as big as the big things in Liao, and he should concentrate his forces to give Jiannu a fatal blow.

He didn't want to see Huang Han at all in his heart, but he had time to free up his hands to garrison Hainan Island. He thinks that when he engages in the wheel revolution, where does he care about a moment? How good it would be to be distracted to do such trivial things after leveling Liao.

Liu Zhilun understood, and said, "Are you unwilling to make extraneous branches?"

Zheng Guochang said: "Jiannu has plagued the Ming Dynasty for more than 40 years, and seeing that this cancer is about to be removed, at this critical moment, the old man is really unwilling to cause trouble. ”

Fighting, and it is a big battle, it is a vicious battle to destroy the puppet Manchu Qing State, where can the danger be foreseen, Liu Zhilun, who is familiar with military books, was silent, and he gave up the idea of playing the Son of Heaven to mobilize the "Red Flag Army" into the customs.

At this time, Zhang Fengyi and others also reached an agreement with several cabinet ministers and Shangshu, and the officials of Qiongzhou Mansion were still appointed by the imperial court, and they could be nominated by the 'King of Hanjiang County', and the contract tax for the first five years was calculated at 50,000 taels of silver a year, and then collected according to 80,000 taels of silver per year.

Next, Zhang Fengyi proposed to set up governors on the Leizhou Peninsula and Hainan Island, govern Haikou, and nominate Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, Lu Xiangsheng, and Yang Yipeng to serve as governors of Leizhou and Qiongzhou.

The Leizhou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty was also a very underdeveloped area, and the taxes that could be provided to the imperial court were limited.

Because the ministers and the emperor thought that they had rejected the request of Zhang Fengyi and others to propose that the "King of Hanjiang County" should be the king of Han, they also won benefits on the issue of taxes in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and made concessions, and agreed to set up Lei and Qiong governors.

After a short discussion, Chongzhen and several cabinet ministers believed that Sun Chuanting and the three of them had already served in "Hanjiang Province" and should have been the "King of Hanjiang County" for a long time, while Lu Xiangsheng had almost no contact with Huang Han and should be considered a member of the imperial court.

In the end, the emperor made a final decision, and Lu Xiangsheng, who was thrown to Yunnan, was transferred to Hainan Island as governor.
