Chapter 917: Windfall
***
According to the results of the discussion between Qin Mu and the ministers of the DPRK and China, the naval and land armies on the Indochina Peninsula officially began their strategic transformation, from the original purpose of occupying territory to the purpose of obtaining resources.
With the exception of the relatively wealthy plains of Bai Qi Cheng, Thang Long Province, Hue, Yangon, and Ava, the Qin army was no longer in a hurry to occupy the mountainous areas of the entire Nanyang Peninsula, and could not let Great Qin's energy be trapped in some mountainous areas.
Of course, it is not all left alone, it is necessary to use local resources to organize more servant armies, and the Qin army is only responsible for defending these important cities, and then leaving the task of clearing the natives in the mountains to the servant army to complete.
Whether you burn it, kill it, or have a three-light policy, Daqin doesn't bother anymore, what Daqin wants is only local resources, and this kind of resources includes manpower.
On the other hand, Qin Mu also formulated a ten-year plan, that is, within ten years, to reduce the population of the entire Nanyang indigenous population by more than 60%. At the same time, turn all mountainous areas into no man's land. In addition to using war consumption, you can also get back to the country to do labor.
The remaining forty percent,Those who can be sinicized are sinicized.,If you can't sinicize.,Find a way to rush to an island like New Zealand.。
It is even possible to set aside a piece of land in a place like Kalimantan for them to live in, and put all the tribes together in it, so that they can not stop fighting among themselves. Anyway, it can't be distributed everywhere like it is now.
This strategic plan must be handed over to the military to implement, Luzon, Qinghai, Indochina Peninsula, now Daqin will not send civilian officials to govern, it is not yet the time to govern, ten years later.
Qin Mu gave Wu Jin a Shunyi Bo and gave him the first place in Nanjing. Give concubines and give them a big reward.
After Wu entered Beijing and was sealed. Cui Feng immediately split his 50,000-strong army and handed it over to Hongyuan, Wu Shan, Aung San He, Na Yeli, and Tu Yi to lead and command.
Cui Feng began to put away his aggressive momentum. The task of clearing all parts of Dongwu was handed over to Hong Yuan and five other people, you go and fight, burn, kill and loot, and do whatever you want.
It doesn't matter if you lose the battle, I'll just organize troops for you, the Ava region is a land of fish and rice, and the population is large, so it is not difficult to organize tens of thousands of servant troops.
Ma Liuliang, Gu Rong, Hai Rufeng and others also organized servant armies one after another. If so.
And as the imperial court began to send the army to take over, the navy would soon be thrown out of these theaters and fully prepared to open up.
There are also Tusi in Guangxi and Yunnan, you can also organize more wolf soldiers to come, according to the rules, all the capture will be divided into 40% for you.
All Cui Feng had to do was to send a small number of men and horses to supervise the actions of the servant armies from all walks of life.
At this time, the weather was scorching, and the officials of the household department in Nanjing were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground. In addition to counting the newly deposited summer taxes, Wang Guichen of Bo Ni, Gu Rong and Ma Liuliang of Shenglong Mansion, Zheng Sihai of Guangyuan, Hai Rufeng of Yangon, and Cui Feng of Ava escorted a large number of seizures back to Nanjing.
Jiaozhi and Dongya are the two most powerful countries on the Indochina Peninsula, and they are also relatively civilized and wealthy countries.
Like Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon. It is made of seven or eight tons of gold, so don't underestimate the wealth that these countries have;
It's just that their productive forces are not developed enough, and the social goods are not as rich as those of Daqin. But when it comes to valuable things, they definitely have a lot.
Moreover, this time the Qin army's combat method was mainly plundering. If the occupied areas can be moved, try to move them back to the national treasury.
The seized gold, silver, precious stones, jadeite, agate, and the like were seized this time. The value is as high as 70 million dragon coins.
In addition, there are a large number of spices, pearls, medicinal herbs and other commodities, there are countless of them, a shipload of them back, there is no time to count, if you count them together, the value is definitely more than 100 million dragon coins.
Of course, if you count the large population, even if a young woman only sells five dragon coins, it is an inexhaustible huge fortune.
On this morning, Xu Yingjie, the head of the household department, was the first to go out and played: "Your Majesty, the naval and land armies have won a great victory in the Indochina Peninsula, and all the captures will exceed 120 million dragon coins according to incomplete statistics. ”
As soon as this number was said by Xu Yingjie, there was an uproar in the Jinluan Palace, and the officials ignored the order of the court and exchanged their heads one after another.
Since ancient times, wars have been a matter of burning money, especially in the era when the country was governed by the Confucian concept of benevolence, righteousness and morality.
The ministers had not experienced such a colonial war, and could not have imagined the astonishing wealth that a small country like Spain could plunder from abroad.
This time the navy and land forces attacked the Indochina Peninsula and brought back hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth at one time, and it is conceivable how great the shock to them was.
As the so-called wealth moves people's hearts, there were many voices opposing such a war between the government and the opposition before, because this kind of war is too different from the Confucian idea of benevolence and righteousness.
However, in the face of huge wealth, the opposition of the DPRK and China suddenly became much smaller.
Money, how many people will have trouble with money?
What's more, these ministers of the DPRK and China actually don't know how cruel the war on the Indochina Peninsula is, but they just heard that the army is fighting again, and how many great victories it has won, and the reports are just a vague numerical concept.
Qin Mu raised his hand and flicked it lightly, suppressing the noise in the Jinluan Palace, and then said to Xu Yingjie: "Xu Qing seems to have something to say. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Yingjie said, "In Chen's opinion, if this huge wealth is not used properly for my Great Qin, it will bring a far-reaching disaster to Great Qin. ”
As soon as Xu Yingjie's voice fell, there was an uproar in the hall again.
Many people vaguely realized that Xu Yingjie was right, but more ministers felt that this was nonsense and thought that Xu Yingjie was alarmist.
Even some ministers couldn't help but immediately stand up and accuse Xu Yingjie, and the words were quite fierce.
"Silence!" Li Zhongming, the attendant of the palace, shouted loudly, restoring order in the palace.
Qin Mu nodded and said, "Xu Qing, as a household servant, can see this clearly, I can rest assured, so please ask Xu Qing to explain to the ministers in the palace who don't understand." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The huge amount of property handed over by the military this time, this wealth cannot be earned back through commodity exports, for my Daqin, it is equivalent to getting it for nothing, and an extra 100 million dragon coins out of thin air.
If this huge amount of money is squandered rashly, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the order of Daqin's financial currency. To use a straightforward analogy, this is equivalent to the imperial court printing 100 million dragon coins into circulation at once, which will inevitably lead to inflation and soaring prices. If the true guide zhì has this kind of consequence, not only will it not bring any benefits to Daqin, but it will leave endless disasters, so how to use this huge amount of money still needs to be considered in the long run. ”
"What Xu Qing said is very true, all the ministers understand, right? However, in my opinion, if sealing this huge amount of money is not the way, then how to use this money to make it play a corresponding benefit, please let the ministers express their opinions. ”
Wei Yuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, immediately preemptively said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it can be used to build roads, repair water conservancy, improve people's livelihood, and promote agricultural development. ”
"Yes, this is feasible, do you still have any suggestions?"
After Qin Qiubai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was unwilling to be left behind, he immediately rushed to say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the most appropriate use of this money is to use it to develop the education of Great Qin." His Majesty often said that knowledge changes the fate of the individual and also the fate of the nation; Science and technology are the primary productive forces; Centennial plan, education-oriented. We will increase investment in education so that more children can go to school for free. ”
This time, without waiting for Qin Mu to answer, Taifu Siqing grabbed it out and said: "Your Majesty, the Servant Temple needs more funds for animal research, Your Majesty, I think that there is nothing more suitable than investing money in scientific research, it will give birth to a lot of scientific research results, and it will have an immeasurable role in promoting the productivity of Great Qin." ”
The Ministry of Industry, Sinong Temple, Ordnance Supervision and other departments also stood up to support Taifu Siqing, and at the same time asked for scientific research funds for their own departments.
Originally, how to use this huge amount of money, there are still some difficulties, as soon as various departments stand up and stretch out their hands, you immediately find that in fact, this money is not much, but also some are not enough.
In general, Qin Mu believes that it is feasible to invest this kind of unearned wealth in infrastructure, education, and scientific research.
As long as the money is really used, not only do you not have to worry about the impact on Daqin's financial currency, but also will produce a steady stream of benefits.
