Come to Daming with military supplies

Third, Yang Chendong will not go to court, will not participate in any government affairs, and will not participate in the affairs between Daizong and Yingzong. He wants to become the existence of a third-party force in a detached position.

For these three requirements.The first point Daizong had already agreed to, and even said that he would deposit 50 taels of silver in the Yang Family Bank, so there was no need to discuss anything.Jin Ying agreed immediately.As for the second point, he also had no doubts.People with money can hire mercenaries, which can only make people greedy.On the third point, Jin Yingduo was dissatisfied, and he made a request on behalf of Daizong, that is, since you are a loyal and courageous Duke personally appointed by Emperor Daizong, you should stand on this side.

"I saved Yingzong's life. It is impossible for me to completely disregard it. Daizong is also good to me. It is not easy to be able to help each other. There is no need to say other things." Yang Chendong shook Shaking his head, he spoke with a very firm attitude.

Jin Ying could tell that Yang Chendong had no intention of giving in to these three requirements.After hesitating for a while, he thought that Wala had already withdrawn, and Yang Chendong didn't need to take action for the time being. Even so, it was a good choice not to help each other, and it didn't hurt to agree.But it is okay to agree, and Jin Ying also put forward three requirements.

One, everyone does not help each other, Yang Chendong is just a loyal and courageous man, and he has no other positions of authority, even the previous post of Jin Yiwei commander should be revoked, if he wants to resign, he can simply resign.

Second, Yang Chendong is not allowed to prevent Daizong from being close to the mercenaries.

On this issue, Jin Ying made it very clear.He even said that he already knew that Lord Zhongdan had a good relationship with the leader of the mercenary army.

Jin Ying thought that Yang Chendong would show some embarrassment when he said this, and even give some explanations.Unexpectedly, Yang Dashao didn't even have any intention to speak, but continued to say, "Let's talk about the third point."

The reason why Yang Chendong didn't care so much was naturally because all Jin Ying knew was leaked out on purpose.Just by saying that he has a good relationship with the leader of the mercenary army, it shows the ignorance of the other party.In fact, it's not just a good relationship, but a person at all.

"Okay, the third point, since you are a businessman, you have to pay business tax. This is justified. Of course, the Ming army and Jin Yiwei who have collected the money will also protect the property of the Yang family." Jin Ying said with a look on his face. Smiling, that seems to be saying that after you pay the tax, someone will protect you. If you don't pay the tax, then I'm sorry, and don't come to us when someone makes trouble.

Yang Chendong had thought about paying taxes a long time ago, and he had even thought of a countermeasure.It's just that since Jin Ying raised it, the rights and interests that should be fought for are still necessary. "Oh, then I wonder how Eunuch Jin will collect taxes?"

"The law of Ming Dynasty requires the ratio of agriculture to be thirty to one." Jin Ying asked tentatively.This was originally the result of discussions with Jin Lian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, Yiming, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Shi Pu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

The three ministers agreed that if you want to curb Yang Chendong's development, you must collect business taxes.As a result, not only can a large amount of money be obtained from it to fill the treasury, but it can also hinder Yang Chendong's development.

In the majestic Ming Dynasty, there are actually people who make money faster than the country. If no means are used to restrain it, that's not bad.

"It's impossible." Yang Chendong simply shook his head. "The ratio of thirty to one is not acceptable to me."

Yang Chendong answered so simply and neatly that he immediately took Jin Ying into his army.His face was filled with anger at first, annoyed that Yang Chendong's attitude was so firm, but when he thought about the benefits that could be obtained from it when the matter was settled, he immediately said: "Forget it, then I don't know what Yi Zhongdangong means, accept it." How much business tax is appropriate?"

"Yeah." Yang Chendong said with a seriously contemplative look: "Although there is no regulation in the Ming Law, in fact, the rich and powerful do not have to pay taxes when doing business, just like scholars who farm the fields without paying taxes, but now you have to charge me. Commercial tax, no matter how much you pay, it’s inappropriate, right?”

How could Jin Ying not understand the truth of this.But who asked other people to do business and farm just to support their families, but Yang Chendong used it to develop a powerful force?Just like the mercenaries he hired, there are a total of 200 people. According to the normal charging standard, it also needs 200 million employment fees. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, Yang Chendong is the only one who can afford it so effortlessly. There is no one else.Even the royal family will feel distressed when they take out these.

2 Chapter Twenty The Cold Front's Requirements

Now that the business has grown to such a large size, what's the point of charging a little tax?

"This, it's different!" Jin Ying said with an aggrieved face.

"What's the difference?" Yang Chendong didn't take Jin Ying's aggrieved look in his eyes at all, but asked fiercely: "Is it because the guild makes money, so I have to collect taxes? Is it because I want to save money?" The capital has made great contributions, so you want to collect my taxes? If this is the case, it must be unreasonable no matter what? Then I, Yang Bao, will have to ask the people of the world, what is the truth?"

A Yang Bao, where is an axiom?Hearing this, Jin Ying's whole body trembled and her face turned ugly.Only now did he realize that he still held a powerful public opinion tool in his hands.Usually the emperor's will is called to the world and it will take time for the people to know.But Yang Bao is different, but wherever it appears, the things recorded in it will soon become widely known.He even heard that in some places, when the local government has regulations, it will use the hands of the local Yang Bao to spread the news, so it can be seen how much influence it has.

At this moment, Jin Ying angrily scolded Wang Zhen for being a pig.How could Yang report the legitimacy in the first place?Now there are disadvantages.

It's a pity that Wang Zhen is already a dead person, and it's useless to scold him now.It's better to think about how to solve the matter in front of him. Anyway, Yang Chendong must not be allowed to tell the grievances and unfair treatment he has suffered, otherwise it will be a major blow to Daizong's image. "Loyal and courageous? So what should you do in your opinion?"

"I don't ask for anything else. You can handle the business tax yourself. Even if it is twenty to ten to one, it is also acceptable. After all, it is for the country. But there is one thing that must be fair, that is, the government of the country. His business has to pay taxes, and so do other businessmen and dignitaries. If not, don’t blame the country’s father for turning his back on him.” Yang Chendong kept saying that he could pay a huge price for the sake of the country, but the last request made Jin Ying Embarrassed.

Yang Chendong is asking for fairness, which is not wrong.But if things are really done like this, then I don't know how many powerful people will be offended.When Yingzong was here, he just talked about collecting business tax, but he never implemented it.What's the matter, now that you are in the position of the ancestor, you have just won the battle to defend the capital, and you are going to take the dignitaries and businessmen under the knife. Even if it is to kill the donkey, isn't this method too fast?

Thinking that if he really received [-] to [-], he was afraid that he would soon lose people's hearts. Then he didn't know how many people would go to Nanjing to join Yingzong. This result was definitely something he didn't want to see.

But it’s impossible not to collect taxes. Originally, a country was divided into two, and the taxes were naturally reduced by half. If you don’t find a way from other places, if something critical happens, there is no money to deal with it. Let's talk about two.

Of course, the tax must be collected, so the only way is to find a way from the ratio.Originally, he thought he could use this to suppress Yang Chendong, but now he shot himself in the foot with a stone, so Jin Ying could only reply with an ugly face, "Okay, according to Zhongdangong's intention, everyone who does business can do business well." To pay taxes, no matter if you are a businessman or a powerful person, as for the tax standard, it is better to pay at a rate of one hundred to one."

One hundred to one, this is indeed a very low fee standard.This is also the restart of commercial taxation, which requires a buffering process.But in fact, such a tax standard is not too low for businessmen.Businessmen value profits, and this kind of behavior of plucking hair from them must surely arouse opposition from many people.

It's just that at this moment, Jin Ying can't think so much.He only knew that if he didn't reach an agreement with Yang Chendong now, he was afraid that it would be more difficult to raise taxes again in the future.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, everything is done according to Mr. Jin's wishes. As long as other businessmen pay taxes in the same way, I don't have any opinions." Yang Chendong regained his smiling face, giving people the impression that General generosity.But Jin Ying was very clear in her heart that this was simply a show, because after the matter became related to businessmen all over the world, it would be impossible to raise the tax.

Jin Ying finally left, and she looked a little embarrassed when she left.

Although Yang Chendong is only less than 20 years old, Jin Ying feels that he is a little fox no matter how you look at it. countermeasures.He was really worried that if he stayed here, he would accidentally fall into the other party's way, and what price would he have to pay.

Fortunately, the trip to Yangjiazhuang was not nothing.Leaving aside the agreement reached with Yang Chendong, just say that when leaving the village, Jin Ying saw the mercenary leader Leng Song waiting by the roadside.

Seeing Leng Song standing on the side of the road in camouflage uniform, Jin Ying hurriedly stopped the soft sedan, and then greeted him with a happy face, "Oh, it turned out to be Captain Leng, I didn't know you were waiting here, let you Awaited."

"It doesn't matter." Leng Song said with an expression on his face: "The head of the regiment is here waiting for Eunuch Jin, and he is here to fulfill his promise with you. Now that the battle is over, I don't know when the million tons of copper and iron promised by Emperor Ming will be in place. What about it? The advanced firearms you want have already been prepared by the regiment leader."

Upon hearing that the advanced firearms were ready, Jin Ying showed great joy, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, a million tons of copper and iron have been prepared long ago, but I don't know how to transport them out?"

"It's simple. You can use the Yang family's commercial transportation system to transport it out. The head of the regiment has already told Mr. Zhongdan about this." Leng Song said preparedly.

Hearing that the arrangements had already been made, Jin Ying nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I will hand over the things to Mr. Zhongdan later. That's right, but I don't know when we will use the advanced firearms that Captain Leng mentioned. Can I get it in my hand?"

Knowing that this is the relationship between Jin and Ying, Leng Song said without hesitation: "When the copper and iron are shipped out of the capital, it is time to deliver the advanced firearms. By the way, there is one thing that needs to be said to Eunuch Jin , This time we repelled the Oirat army, but we also communicated with them at the same time, we will do business with Oirat, and we will hand over the matter to Mr. Zhongdan, which will require Eunuch Jin to take care of it. Of course, the matter It's done, if Eunuch Jin has any personal requests in the future, the head of the regiment will speak well in front of our leader."

Leng Song said these things with a blank face, but it was a bit harsh to Jin Ying's ears. "Leader Leng, you're just doing this for my father-in-law. Wala and our Daming just had a fierce battle. It seems unreasonable to do business with him now, right?"

"Of course it doesn't make sense. That's why our mercenary traded with Wala, and it has nothing to do with you Ming. It's just borrowing your way, what? Is there any problem with Eunuch Jin?" At the end of the talk, Leng Song asked His face has become very serious, as if very angry.

"No, no, of course there won't be any problems with my father-in-law here. It's just that the trouble is serious, and this kind of matter should be reported to the emperor, and it is up to the emperor to decide." Jin Yingcai would not foolishly offend the hired man Army, which brought out Daizong's name.

"It doesn't matter, the head of the regiment will take the brothers to hang around here in the capital for a few days, just to listen to your Emperor Ming's thoughts. But if Emperor Ming hasn't given a satisfactory answer when we leave, then I'm sorry , the head of the regiment can’t make an assignment, so I can’t guarantee that we will take up this task when someone else asks us to deal with Daming.” How could Leng Song not see that this is Jin Ying’s procrastination technique, that’s it, He took the initiative to propose a deadline.

In this sentence, Jin Ying heard other meanings. "Captain Leng, do you mean that the mercenaries will not take action against us, Daming?"

"It's not that we won't make a move, but Minghuang agreed to our conditions, and he will naturally take care of our partners. Unless someone pays several times the price to deal with you, otherwise, we will not accept the task. " Leng Song nodded and shook his head.In short, the benefits are thrown out, but the words are not completely dead.

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, Emperor Ming should be able to agree." Jin Ying heard other meanings from these words.He had already heard about the high cost of mercenaries. If it was several times the cost, few people would be able to afford it.With this condition, there must be no difficulty in convincing Zhu Qiyu.

"You Emperor Ming should have agreed in the first place. Once Wala starts doing business with us, their focus may shift, and I'm afraid they won't have any thoughts about Daming at that time." Leng Song nodded his head, as if pointing something talking.

"Yes, yes." Jin Ying nodded, then looked left and right, and when she saw no one around, she approached Leng Song carefully and asked, "Captain Leng, since Wala can be with you Your army cooperates, so I wonder if we can cooperate?"

"Huh?" Leng Song looked at Jin Ying vigilantly, "Eunuch Jin, the head of the regiment has said that the relationship between Mr. Zhongdan and our leader is very good, so you should stop fighting such an idea. That's it. It’s best not to say the words in the future, otherwise, if it causes any trouble, even the head of the regiment can’t afford it. Okay, let’s take my leave first.”

Leng Song left, leaving Jin Ying standing there alone, her expression changing again and again.He thought that the relationship between Yang Chendong and the mercenary leader should be pretty good.But judging from the temptation just now, it seems that it is far better than he imagined. From this point of view, it is better not to offend this brave man as much as possible in the future.

Chapter 221 Zhu Qizhen's Worries (plus more)

The battle to defend the capital was successful.The Oirat army withdrew from the capital and the territory that originally belonged to Ming Dynasty. Everything seemed to be calm again, and the hearts of the people in the capital also settled down.Zhu Qiyu, the emperor's seat is considered secure.

Once Zhu Qiyu's seat was stabilized, Zhu Qizhen became a lot more anxious.

In the imperial palace of the accompanying capital of Nanjing.With the entry of Zhu Qizhen, a large number of eunuchs and palace maids filled it, finally gaining popularity and appearing very lively.In addition, Nanjing was originally the capital of the Ming Dynasty in the earliest days, and it was already very prosperous here, which made the Great Ming Southern Court quickly established.Many officials who heard the news from the capital were reused. In addition, there were originally six ministries in Nanjing, so that it didn't take long for the personnel of each department to be basically in place and operate normally.

But Zhu Qizhen was not satisfied with all of this, because just now he received the news from Jinyiwei's secret agent that under Yang Chendong's action, the defense of the capital was won, Oala retreated, and Da Ming returned to peace and stability.

When the Wala army approached the capital, many ministers analyzed it, saying that it was difficult to defend the capital with Zhu Qiyu's troops.And once the capital is broken, the new emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu will have nowhere to go, and the ministers who follow him will naturally fall apart, so it is time for Zhu Qizhen to rule the world.At that time, go north immediately. If he can defeat the Oala army again and regain the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he will completely erase the shame of civil defeat, and he may become a famous king of a generation.

It's just that this dream is over before it begins.At the moment when he learned that the capital was saved and Wala withdrew, Zhu Qizhen felt a sense of depression filling his heart, which made him very uncomfortable.
