Chapter 140 Li Zicheng, I can't imagine that you, a thick-eyed and big-eyed person, have betrayed the revolution!
Although the pressurized water well is simple, it is the most simple and practical, and it is already a black technology for farmers who need to use rollers to lift water. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Well, it's black technology in its own right.
The rubber sheet came out 300 years later.
In fact, this thing was originally used in the entire Chinese countryside in history, and in the end almost every household had it, not only that, but even in the arid grasslands of the north, including in the mountainous areas, it can be seen everywhere, just like cockroaches to adapt to almost any environment, even after the water pump has been flooded, many places can still see it silently waiting for the moment of power outage.
What's more, it's low-cost!
Of course, the cost of this thing is actually not something that the destitute peasants can afford.
For those farmers who have a hoe and a huge investment, the manual water press is definitely an expensive luxury, not to mention that they have to dig wells, and it is impossible for Yang Feng to give them plastic pipes, so they can only use specially fired pottery pipes, which makes its cost increase dramatically. You must know that for the peasants of this era, even a bowl is very expensive, and there are not many families that can do one bowl per person, this is not the ancient times that those little freshmen intend to come out, in fact, the vast majority of people can't even match the clothes for their family members.
Hunger and cold are not a simple adjective, many people who freeze to death in winter are not actually because they are too cold, but because they really have no clothes to wear.
So it can only be given by the emperor.
"One set for each village, and the wells and water presses will be sent after the land is divided."
Yang Feng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The directors of those imperial villages said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, King Tang's urgency."
At this time, Liang Cheng took a copy of the fold and sent it to Yang Feng with both hands and said.
"King Tang, what's wrong with Jiangnan?"
Yang Feng said unexpectedly.
Because his occupation area had expanded to Shandong, the situation of the past when the north and the south were cut off from each other in winter would not have occurred, and although the ships sailing against the wind in winter were slow, there was no problem in sending letters from Fujian to the coast of Shandong. After the fall of Hangzhou, followed by the fall of Ningbo, the Tang Dynasty has retreated to Fuzhou, in fact, Jiangnan still has a large part of the territory under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, the forefront of the front in Wenzhou, southern Zhejiang, Fujian, Liangguang, Yunnan and Guizhou are still under the control of the Ming Dynasty, and even some places in Hunan are under the control of He Tengjiao, who is unwilling to surrender to Li Zicheng.
And because Wu Sangui's army crossed the Yellow River, Li Zicheng had to stop the continued offensive to the south, and even he himself returned to Nanjing, including Liu Fangliang, a large number of the elite of the Shun army and the main force of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates were also moving to the north, once Wu Sangui's army captured Henan, or even if it only occupied Luoyang and Xiangyang, it would be a huge trouble for Li Zicheng, because then his connection with his hometown in Guanzhong would be cut off.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had a bad relationship, and the two sides were actually at war, so his contact with Guanzhong only relied on Cuihan Dao and Wuguan Dao.
As long as the Ming army passed Nanyang, he would be the second Dolgon.
The Ming army will block his hundreds of thousands of troops between the Jianghuai and Huai, happily beat Liu Zongmin, who stayed in the pass, and by the way to copy the useless 70 million taels of silver that he copied from Beijing but was useless. And although Liu Zongmin has an army of 50,000 troops, but they are also old, weak, sick and disabled, and the real strength is even inferior to Li Guo, before he was actually angry by Li Zicheng, and then rushed back to his hometown to stay behind, in order to prevent him from rebelling, Li Zicheng of course could not give him the real main force.
Once the Ming army solves Li Guo, then Guanzhong will inevitably not be protected.
Therefore, at this time, it was absolutely impossible for Li Zicheng to continue to attack south, and he had to block the Ming army in Henan.
"Could it be that Li Zicheng is also crazy?"
As he spoke, Yang Feng opened the recital.
Then just glanced at him and threw it to Li Yutian, and just when Li Shoufu was watching the recital, His Majesty the Emperor said something that no one understood.
"Li Zicheng, I can't imagine that you, a thick-eyed and big-eyed person, have betrayed the revolution!"
The content of the memora is simple.
Qian Qianyi, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, surrendered to Li Zicheng and was appointed as a scholar of the Tianyou Temple.
Donglin Party and Li Zicheng converged.
In fact, if you think about it, Yang Feng also understands everything, first of all, Li Zicheng has robbed enough, he robbed everything he could, Beijing was looted by him, Yangzhou was looted by him, Nanjing was looted by him, Suzhou and Hangzhou were looted by him, and the only place of wealth in the Ming Dynasty was Quanzhou and Guangzhou, but these two places may not be seen by Li Zicheng, who was born inland, he knew that the two Beijings, Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou were rich, but he did not necessarily believe that Quanzhou and Guangzhou, which were outside the scope of his understanding, were also rich, so in Li Zicheng's opinion, everything he could rob should have been robbed.
Then what he needs next is to stabilize the regime.
After all, Yang Feng had already begun to go south.
Even Dolgon was defeated, of course he understood the horror of this enemy, he needed a stable rear to face Yang Feng, and with his mind, it was definitely impossible to come up with anything really good if he wanted to stabilize the regime, no matter how he beautified it, he was just a rogue with huge limitations, and his thinking could not be as advanced as possible, so the method of stabilizing the regime that he could think of would definitely not be able to escape the ancient emperors and gentry ruling the world together, so he needed the Donglin Party, and he wanted to transform into the Holy Lord Mingjun, He needed the gentry of Jiangnan to support him in his confrontation with Yang Feng.
And what about the Donglin Party, or the Jiangnan gentry it represents?
They also need a new protector.
The Ming Emperor has no hope, he is perverse in the north, full of evil, has almost reached the point of anger between people and gods, this dog emperor has been stimulated too much, resulting in mental disorders, moral loss, loss of humanity has been reduced to a scumbag, righteous people and gentlemen can no longer be with him, and he has also lost the value of saving, even the Holy Father of Yan dares to be arrested as a slave, such an emperor is simply a pity to die. As for the gentry's favorite Dolgon, the Jiang family is of little value, Zhang Xianzhong is locked in Sichuan and can't get out, and the only choice they have left is Li Zicheng.
Although Li Zicheng had just snatched them.
But Li Zicheng only needs money, but the emperor doesn't just want money, but also land!
That land is the lifeblood of the gentry!
If the money is gone, you can make it again, but if the land is gone, it will really be gone, now the lesser of two evils, Li Zicheng is still a person who can be transformed, not hopeless like the dog emperor, as long as he can keep his own land, keep his privileges, and then re-accumulate wealth, it will only take a while, which the Jiangnan gentry still see very clearly.
So the two sides hit it off.
Under Zuo Liangyu's lead, Qian Qianyi was summoned by Li Zicheng, and then Qian Da Poet and Li Zicheng had a long talk, and finally tamed the beast in Li Zicheng's heart with his noble personality and outstanding talent. Prepare to fight the darkness that spreads from the north with the power of light.
In the final analysis, this is all the sin of the dog emperor himself, how many loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty he forced to surrender and surrender, why can't he continue to be a holy lord like in the past?
"Hmph, a bunch of rebels and thieves!"
Yang Feng said viciously.
"Send an edict to Plug Yinxi, tell him to hurry up and bring Dolgon here, I want to let those rebellious ministers and thieves see what will happen to those who dare to fight against me."
He went on to say.
Of course, he is still very happy about this kind of thing, which means that after he kills Li Zicheng, he can have a lot of debts waiting to be collected, and in recent times, those officials have paid him more than five million taels one after another, and after Li Zicheng has searched and spent a lot of money to resist him, these guys can still get so much, which really makes His Majesty the Emperor marvel at the ability of those gentry to hide their wealth.
Coupled with what Zheng Zhilong sent him, as well as what Lu Jiude scraped when he fled, Yang Feng had already scraped together 10 million taels of silver and gold reserves for his People's Bank.
These silver and gold secured the issuance of banknotes.
Because of his own credibility, there is almost no resistance to the issuance of paper money in the people, this red banknote with his head, is habitually called the imperial banknote by the people, the face value is divided into one yuan, one hundred, fifty, twenty, ten, five, two, one penny, has always been exchanged for a silver dollar, that is, one or two silver coins minted, the same is the emperor's portrait, a penny can be exchanged for a minimum copper coin. At present, government procurement, the salaries of officials and soldiers are all paper money, which can be freely exchanged at the bank, or it can be used to pay taxes to the government, and the one-dollar banknotes are printed on modern paper, although other banknotes use the paper of this era, but they are also specially manufactured by the royal paper mills, and they are printed with modern ink, so there is no need to worry about artificial fakes. The images are simple, but those fakes are impossible to make modern paper in any way, and they can't adjust the color of modern inks.
However, because of the lack of reserves, his banknotes were still not much, after all, it was only eight million taels of silver, and in the initial stage of paper money, he did not dare to really let go of his hands no matter what.
He needed a lot of gold and silver.
If the gentry in Jiangnan did not surrender to Li Zicheng and continued to follow the Ming Dynasty, then it would be really difficult for him to pull down his face, but now that all the problems are solved, when his army recovers Nanjing......
"Then pass on the decree, all those who dare to cooperate with the rebellion will be dealt with according to the northern regulations!"
His Majesty the Emperor said gloomily.
