Come to Daming with military supplies

"hiss!"

The sound of gasping for air resounded in the hall.As for building a bank and changing its name to Yang Family Bank, many people did not understand what was going on.But there is a sentence that is heard very clearly, that is, a bank is willing to hand over 200 million taels of silver to the treasury a year, which is equivalent to half of the annual agricultural tax.What a number this is, and it is also money that many officials can't earn in their whole life or even several lifetimes, but it was easily promised by Yang Chendong, how can it not be shocking?

"really!"

The most surprised one was the emperor Zhu Qiyu.

If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive the firewood is, and the same applies to the emperor.

Originally, he was only a king, but Zhu Qiyu just saw the majesty of the emperor, and he responded to everything.But after becoming the emperor, I realized that a country cannot do without a word of money.There is a natural disaster and money is needed!Building water conservancy needs money!Building a city requires money!It takes more money to support officials and soldiers.

In short, if you want to be a sage emperor and a wise emperor praised by everyone, you need to use countless money to solve everything and strive to satisfy more people. This is the task of an emperor.

Although the rule of benevolence was announced, the national treasury was considered to be full, but a lot of money was spent in the battle of Tumubao, and after the defeat, it was not known how much money was needed just to pay for the officers and soldiers.When the two emperors ruled together again, the income of a country was divided into two. In this way, it is foreseeable that in the future, there will be more income and less expenditure.And if he wants to become a real generation of famous emperor, the task of national unification is inevitable, and it is very likely that he will meet with Daizong Zhu Qizhen, and if he wants to fight, he does not know how much money he will need.

In this way, how to generate income has become the focus of future work tasks.Just at this time, Yang Chendong stood up and said that the establishment of a Yang family bank would give 200 million taels of tax silver a year. How could this not make Zhu Qiyu feel elated and secretly happy?

One Yang Family Bank can pay 200 million taels of silver a year, so if there are ten such banks, wouldn't it mean that the problem of expenses has been solved, and more silver taels can be deposited in the treasury?

Under the joy in his heart, he not only exclaimed in a gaffe.

"Ahem." Jin Ying, who was standing beside her, coughed softly, reminding Zhu Qiyu that she was losing her composure in this way.Emperor Daizong also reacted at this moment, and quickly made amends, "Okay, very good, since the loyal and brave man is so confident, I will deposit 50 in silver first."

Depositing 50 taels of silver is nothing to an emperor. This is just a statement of Zhu Qiyu's support for this matter.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being the first customer of Yang's Bank to save money. I will give you a monthly interest of 50, that is, the monthly interest of 2000 taels is 50 two hundred and fifty taels of silver." Yang Chendong turned rapidly Naogua quickly gave the answer.

Saving money is based on the monthly interest of 100, that is, the monthly interest of 450 taels is 1000 taels;

The interest on such deposits is still very high, at least higher than the current interest rates of modern banks.Then this naturally became a great temptation, making the eyes of the other ministers who heard the result shine at this moment.

The monthly interest of 50 taels is more than 2000 taels, which is enough for many big families to spend for two to three months or even longer.Although few of them have such a large amount of deposits, they should always have 5 taels. In this way, they can deposit more than 200 taels in Yang's Bank for a month. suitable.

Not only the minister was shocked by this result, but Zhu Qiyu was also shocked by Yang Chendong's words. "Loyal and courageous, do you know that there is no joke in front of the king?"

"I naturally know that the emperor just needs to prepare the silver. After winning the battle to defend the capital, the Yang Family Bank will be established very quickly. Just take the interest." Yang Chendong said confidently.

Although it seems that the interest on this deposit is not low, it is nothing compared to the loan interest he set.As a modern person, he certainly knows that money will only play an important role if it is in circulation. If everyone saves money and does not stimulate consumption, the pace of society's progress will be much slower.

Yang Chendong spoke with certainty, Zhu Qiyu naturally believed it, and immediately said in front of the officials: "Okay, then I will wait for the opening of Yang's Bank, hahaha!"

With Zhu Qiyu's laughter, this court meeting ended satisfactorily.It's just that when the officials walked out of the hall, few of them showed a relaxed expression.One is that they are still doubting whether Yang Chendong, who is less than 20 years old, is really capable of protecting the capital, and the other is whether it is really so profitable to open that bank called what?If so, do they want to deposit money in it?

The ministers had their own concerns, but Yang Chendong did not leave with the ministers. Instead, after watching the emperor Zhu Qiyu leave, he was called aside by Jin Ying to discuss the next specific things.

In a palace courtyard where Jin Ying was resting, in a cool courtyard on the water, the two sat facing each other.

"Lord Zhongdanhou, how about trying the tea here?" Jin Ying smiled. The next battle to defend the capital will depend on this person, and this is naturally not the time to flinch.On the contrary, he still has to wait for Yang Chendong to raise conditions, that is, the treatment of mercenaries.

Whether it is Zhu Qiyu or Jin Ying, they are very clear in their hearts.The reason why Yang Chendong was put in command was not because of his military talent, but because he could directly command mercenaries armed with new-style firearms.

Even Yang Chendong himself knew that pointing at the tens of thousands of city guards in the capital, it would be impossible.Fighting still depends on the new army trained by yourself. Since this is the case, of course we must collect enough benefits next, otherwise this kind of opportunity for such a lion to open its mouth will be difficult to have this shop after passing this village.

"The tea is good. It seems that Eunuch Jin has some good things here." Yang Chendong had a bright smile on his face, and seemed very satisfied with Jin Ying's kindness.

Since it is a negotiation, it is naturally crucial to have a relatively harmonious atmosphere.It's not a life-and-death fight between two enemies, but it's just for money, which requires an excellent patience and a good atmosphere.

"Hahaha, you are really flattered for being loyal and courageous. I'm just a reward from the emperor." Jin Ying also raised her head and laughed loudly, expressing her good mood on her face.How could he not know that this time is Yang Chendong's opportunity to gain benefits, and it is also his chance to gain benefits?

Although there is a big difference in age between the two, they are both like spirit foxes. It is not too much to use a big fox and a small fox to describe the situation.

"Well, the things that the emperor bestows are indeed the best." Yang Chendong said with a little feeling along with the words, and then led to the main topic: "But I don't know, the emperor will use mercenaries this time. What kind of reward is there?"

Finally when it came to the business, Jin Ying's face became more serious at this moment, "But I don't know how many mercenaries Zhongdanhou has invited this time, and what are the chances of defeating the Oirat army?"

No rabbits, no eagles, it seems that Jin Ying is much more stable than Yang Chendong, as if he has always been in control of the initiative.

Yang Chendong didn't care about this. With mercenaries in hand, the initiative was in his hands.As for who makes the request first, it doesn't matter to him.Originally, this was not an equal negotiation and transaction.

"Hehe, how many chances there are of winning, how many mercenaries can be invited to help, it all depends on how determined the emperor is." Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Yang Chendong was not in a hurry, but at the same time he was full of confidence. talking.

Chapter 179 The Lion Opens His Mouth

"Oh? What Yizhong is brave enough to mean, if the emperor rewards him enough, this battle will definitely be won?" Regarding Yang Chendong's big words, Jin Ying was a little bit unimpressed, but one of them was less than 20 years old. It's nothing more than a [-]-year-old brat, who has only been on the battlefield once and rescued Yingzong Zhu Qizhen by relying on the so-called advanced firearms. Can he really treat the world's heroes as nothing and the Oirat army as invisible?Is this too defiant?

Jin Ying wanted to hit Yang Chendong first, weakening the other party's momentum, and he would be able to hold more initiative in the next negotiation, and naturally he could reap more benefits.

"Yes. This Marquis has absolute confidence." Yang Chendong replied confidently, with a flattering smile still on his face.

Why can't he see Jin Ying's intentions, and why don't he know that wars are ever-changing. It is said that even if you have monstrous power, you can't talk too much.But this time he decided to do the opposite, and he had 100% confidence in winning the battle. All this came from his confidence in Da Cangzhong's firearms, and also from his absolute trust in Leng Feng.

He was about to bring tea to his lips, and then take a good look at how Yang Chendong answered his own question.As long as he utters a little bit of unconfident words, then it will be the time for him to chase after him, and then he will naturally talk about things again, and he can keep his demands to a minimum, so that he can make a contribution in front of Zhu Qiyu, and he can imagine Way to get more benefits for yourself.

It's just that before the tea is drunk, Yang Chendong has already given the answer, and it is still such a positive and confident answer.He even said that he was absolutely sure that he could repel the Oirat army. This answer was completely beyond Jin Ying's expectations. You can just talk about it casually, that is to kill someone at the sight of blood."

"Hehe, of course Benhou knows this. When Benhou rescued Yingzong and nine important ministers in Tumubao, he also saw blood. I don't know how many Oirat soldiers died in Benhou's hands. This point Naturally, it is very clear." To Jin Ying's question, Yang Chendong smiled back, looking so casual and confident.

"Is Zhongdan Hou so confident? This time, it's not about breaking out of the siege while the Oirat army is not paying attention, but to defend the enemy from the gate of the country? Is it possible to face a large number of enemy troops?" Jin Ying still asked in a tone of disbelief.

When Tumubao was defeated, Yang Chendong rescued Yingzong and nine important ministers.But what he chose at that time was to go against the enemy, that is, he did not take the shortest way to return to the capital, but first went around to the empty rear of the enemy.Jin Ying asked Jin Yiwei to investigate this matter long ago. It is precisely because of this that he thinks that although the strength of the mercenaries is good, they can only be small fights. The so-called new firearms may not be of much use.

Based on everything he knew, Jin Ying didn't think that mercenaries were omnipotent and invincible.But what he didn't know was that the reason why he chose to go to the rear of the enemy was not to protect Yingzong and come to the capital, but Yang Chendong did it on purpose.He had to prepare for the Tongzhi of the two emperors, and he had to give Zhu Qiyu enough time to do so.

Otherwise, if they really brought Leng Feng all the way to Beijing by taking shortcuts, how could there be the enthronement of Daizong Zhu Qiyu?

Of course, Yang Chendong would not explain this matter to anyone, otherwise Sima Zhaozhi's heart would be known to everyone.

It was precisely because the matter could not be discussed with others that it caused Jin Ying to misunderstand, thinking that the strength of the mercenary army was only stronger than the ordinary army, but it was not really invincible.

Now that you have any questions, of course you have to answer them. Yang Chendong said with a smile: "This Marquis said that he can defeat the Oirat army, so he can do it. Of course, all this is based on how much money the emperor can give. The so-called soldiers and horses are not Eunuch Jin must be aware of the principle that food and grass go first."

"Naturally." Jin Ying nodded.Seeing Yang Chendong's self-confidence, and his absolute answer to the question about the outcome of the war, the eunuch was very curious about how much benefit this person wanted. "Since Zhongdanhou is so confident, this is of course a great thing. Presumably when the battle is won, the emperor and the people will definitely be grateful to Zhongdanhou, but I just don't know how much money is needed?"

"I don't need to say thank you. As a minister of Ming Dynasty, it is one of my responsibilities to keep the enemy out of the country. At least when it comes to how much money I want, it's not what I want, it's really a mercenary The combat power of the army is too strong, and it would cost a lot to ask them to take action." Yang Chendong seemed to be explaining in detail, but was interrupted by Jin Ying's next words, "Okay, we all understand , is also a smart person, there are some things that don’t need to be described in such detail, the loyal and courageous one only needs to say the amount of silver needed, at that time, I will naturally report to the emperor to know.”

To interrupt the conversation directly is Jin Ying's expression of helplessness, and at the same time, it is also sending a signal that everyone understands people, so don't talk about devious things, just mention how many benefits you need before you are willing to do things alright.

Jin Ying felt that he had seen through Zhongdanhou, and Yang Chendong didn't explain it. There are many things that need to be told to others in reality, and everything before that is in vain.Regarding this, he just laughed and said: "Eunuch Jin speaks quickly, so this Marquis is not hypocritical, so this number is needed to win this battle."

While talking, Yang Chendong stretched out his right index finger.

"100 million?" Jin Ying chuckled.Originally thought that Yang Chendong would open his mouth so much?But when he saw that the other party just stretched out a finger, he immediately laughed.Young is young, with little appetite and lack of concentration, the bottom limit was exposed so quickly, and it was only 100 million taels of silver.

With a hehe smile, Jin Ying once again passed the tea to his mouth, and there was a slightly ironic smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yang Chendong also smiled and was not in a hurry to explain, until he watched Jin Ying pour the tea into his mouth, then he suddenly said: "I think Eunuch Jin misunderstood, it is not 100 million but 1000 million."

"puff!"
