Chapter 180 wants to send troops and is trapped in wealth

Wang Yan was in Qiongzhou Mansion, and after inspecting it, he gradually relaxed about the resettlement of the people.

With the opening of the sea route and the continuous transportation of goods and resources from Guangdong to Qiongdao, he believed that as long as another year passed, the people would be able to become self-sufficient, and there would be no need for him to carry out blood transfusions, and after the three-year tax holiday, Qiongzhou would develop into the superior state capital of Guangdong after Guangzhou.

During this trip, Wang Yan also reached an agreement with Feng Yingchang and other Yangzhou scholars to use 500,000 taels of silver as the capital to support the people of Yangzhou in business, and he accounted for 30% of the shares.

Of course, these things can't be done by him, so he will ask Xu Yanyan to help him deal with them, and after removing 500,000 taels of silver and the silver before and after the resettlement of the guests, in addition to the 1 million taels of tax silver that has not been released from the imperial court, there are only more than 300,000 taels of silver left in his hand.

After a few days of inspection in Qiongzhou, Wang Yan crossed the Qiongzhou Strait by boat, landed in Leizhou, and then passed through Gaozhou, Zhaoqing, and returned to Guangzhou.

At the beginning of October, all parts of Quang Nam had already completed the autumn harvest and entered the agricultural leisure time, and at this time in the past, most of the people in the village had nothing to do, but since Wang Yan ordered the first formation and training of government soldiers in Gaozhou, Luoding, Zhaoqing, and Guangfu, the entire Guangnan villagers took action.

After Wang Yan entered Gaozhou, he often saw that in the threshing floor of almost every village, there was a group of men who were exercising, and outside the place where they practiced, there was a large group of children and women laughing and playing.

The difference between the government soldier system and the guard system lies in the real benefits he gives to the soldiers, as long as one person is selected, the whole family is exempt from taxation, for the people, the people do not have to pay taxes are naturally higher than those who pay taxes, so the government soldiers and their families have a sense of honor, and the people naturally participate enthusiastically.

Wang Yan looked at the trained government soldiers, but his heart began to worry about the finances of Guangdong, he was originally going to train 100,000 government soldiers, but now he found that it is basically impossible, although the government soldiers do not get paid, but to land, in addition to the government from the Guangnan guests to get some land, other state capitals have no land to train government soldiers, and with the family members of the government soldiers exempt from taxes, next year, the land tax in Guangdong will definitely shrink significantly, these are all headaches for Wang Yan.

At this time, although Wang Yan felt huge financial pressure, he also saw the achievements since entering Guangdong, in addition to the proper placement of the people of Yangzhou, his military strength has also been greatly improved.

This time, Luodingzhou organized and trained 5,000 soldiers, Gaozhou in the lower four prefectures trained 10,000 people, Zhaoqing in the upper six prefectures trained 15,000 people, and Guangfu trained 20,000 people, and after adding the newly recruited 10,000 new soldiers and the original 20,000 horses, he already had 80,000 troops.

Of course, among the 80,000 troops, only his 20,000 soldiers can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy.

In mid-November, after Wang Yan toured the entire Guangdong, the officials and local people of various provinces in Guangdong basically recognized him as the general town of Guangdong.

After returning to Guangzhou, Wang Yan began to reorganize his 30,000 recruits so that the new soldiers could quickly build up their combat strength.

First of all, the establishment of the loyal battalion was taken back from the naval division, and later the naval division was organized into the Guangdong naval division, Shi Lang was appointed as the general soldier, Yu Fangqi was the general, and the provisional number of 5,000 men and horses was established.

Secondly, from the loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty, the elite of the three battalions were drawn to form a 10,000-strong commander-in-chief, Wang Yan personally led it, and the 10,000 new soldiers were mixed with the remaining men and horses of the three battalions into two battalions of loyalty and loyalty, each battalion of 7,500 people, led by Liu Shun and Dai Zhifan respectively, and the establishment of loyalty and loyalty was not used for the time being.

After the reorganization is carried out, it is natural to carry out drills and run-ins, and it has to be said that after the training, the benefits of the military academy will be reflected.

Wang Yan was originally worried that after the expansion of the army, the newly promoted military academy would not be able to do it, but he quickly dispelled his doubts, and it turned out that the military academy that had been trained by the martial arts academy would soon handle the affairs of the military academy in an orderly manner, and Wang Yan did not have to worry too much about the training of the army.

At this time, with the determination of all matters in Guangdong, Wang Yan had already taken advantage of the fact that the main force of the Qing army was still in the south of the Yangtze River, and within December, he led the army out of Guangdong and went north to Hunan.

At the end of November, after he released 1 million taels of silver into Fujing, he only had 300,000 taels of silver left in his hands, but it was really difficult to maintain the operation of Guangdong.

After pacifying the four pirates, due to the surrender of Ma Xuansheng and Shibi, the Guangdong sailors soon found the pirates' lair, and Xu Guixiang was forced to take the remnants of the pirates and fled to the Luzon area.

The accumulation of the four surnamed pirates in recent years has all fallen into the hands of Wang Yan, but the four surnamed pirates are not big pirates, and the looted property, after supporting thousands of subordinates and family members, there is basically not much left, only 50,000 taels of silver.

As soon as these silver coins arrived, they were just enough for Wang Yan to distribute the silver reward from the last time he broke the sea.

In terms of financial problems, Wang Yan originally thought that after he purged the Haikou and opened up the Guangdong Sea, the tax revenue of the city and the shipping department would increase suddenly, but the result was that it doubled, reaching 100,000 taels per month, and then it would no longer increase. This made his idea of relying on sea trade to obtain tax and silver to support the war suddenly failed.

The Zheng family can earn nearly 10 million a year, but he can't even get 20% of the Zheng family's land in Guangdong, which makes Wang Yan incomprehensible, and it wasn't until several big Cantonese businessmen came to see him the day before yesterday that he understood what the problem was.

It turned out that because the territory of the Ming Dynasty was only a few provinces in the southwest and the southeast coast, the economy was hit hard, and many places were caught in the flames of war, such as Jingdezhen, which was rich in porcelain, had completely fallen into the hands of the Qing court, and the supply of many goods in Guangdong was cut off, so naturally there was no use to sell things to Xiyi and sell to the Nanyang countries.

Wang Yan had no choice but to send someone to Guilin to communicate with Ding Kuichu, so that Cantonese businessmen could purchase tea and other materials from Guidi, and then sell them to Nanyang.

On this day, Wang Yan returned to the mansion, Xu Yanyan saw that he looked preoccupied, and asked casually, and after learning that he was worried about the money, she couldn't help but pull him to the backyard.

Wang Yan didn't know what she was going to do, but she still followed, and when she walked into the courtyard, she saw several guards guarding ten boxes.

At this time, Xu Yanyan smiled and asked the guards to open all of them, and Wang Yan saw that ten boxes full of silver were all there.

Xu Yanyan looked at Wang Yan with a surprised face, and then explained to him that it turned out that she, Li Xiangjun and Su Kunsheng, after compiling "Mulan Ci", performed in Guangzhou City, but she didn't expect it to cause a sensation.

Seeing this, Li Zhenli and Xu Yanyan simply bought a restaurant, turned it into a theater, and collected ticket money, but even so, every show is still popular, and there are even people who watch the play, and when they are happy, there are not a few people who directly throw silver, silver ingots, and gold leaves on the stage.

In the past month, they have received a lot of seals, compared with what they had on the banks of the Qinhuai River back then, and they decided to take out 10,000 taels of silver to Wang Yan, the person who gave the idea.
