Large-scale military force means a large amount of expenses, and the prince's ceremonial battles were extraordinary. Besides, the rewards for the tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers were not a decisive amount - there was nothing to grab in Shandong, and even if Yu Qi saved up his own family property, it would definitely not satisfy the appetite of the prince and the eight banners of the Manchus and Han people.

After Shunzhi took power, the money was made quite good. The central government sent people to take charge of the vassals of each province, and all the surplus was sent to Beijing. Every time there was a large-scale war, Shunzhi used this as an excuse to find ways to deduct some rewards to the princes. If anyone was not aware of the promotion, Shunzhi would depose him without hesitation. For example, the current uncle of Prince Kang. Shunzhi often used the five thousand-mile defense line run by Hong Chengchou, and all rewards were kept simple during the holidays.

In this way, the Qing treasury had accumulated enough savings for four or five years in the country to use. For this achievement, Oboi, who assisted Shunzhi, was also very proud. With this savings, the Qing court's internal affairs could be more flexible and necessary tax exemptions were required to avoid arousing large-scale civil unrest. Even after Shunzhi's death, the Minister of the Responsible Government still wanted to continue the policy of the central government's vassal treasury directly under the central government. According to the original plan, Sony and Oboi were preparing to save the Qing court for ten years of normal expenses in the country after five or six years.

After all, the Qing court was a small tribe against the great power. Sony and Oboi, two ministers who had struggled from the Nurhaci era, had a strong sense of crisis. While trying their best to differentiate and disintegrate the unity of the Han people and favor Wu Sangui and other collaborators, they were still worried that a nationwide Han resistance would break out. This savings would allow the Qing court to have enough financial resources to suppress it when it suddenly lost a large area of ​​territory, and could ensure that the loyalty of the Green Camp generals continued to be bought. If the situation inside the pass was not done, they could also withdraw from the pass with a large amount of money.

In Deng Ming's previous life, when Oboi was killed by Kangxi, he had already saved almost ten years of expenses for his third generation of masters, which allowed Kangxi to force Wu Sangui to do nothing to worry about the consequences. After losing one-third of his territory in a blink of an eye, the Qing court could still mobilize troops that were much larger than Wu Sangui to counterattack.

Now this good process has been interrupted, and the turning point is not Gaoyou Lake but the subsequent Kangxi case. The regent minister was in a hurry and was unable to resist the pressure from the princes and the princes. The hasty launch of the first Sichuan crusade not only cost a huge amount, but also gained nothing. It seems that the losses in western Sichuan were minimal, because Deng Ming then launched the third Eastern Expedition and the Battle of Myanmar at the same time.

The upcoming Shandong battle was about to start and the expenses were greatly exceeded the budget, which made Oboi feel a little distressed, but these were all expenses that could not be saved. The prince went to Shandong to lead the army. After a few brief discussions, the two princes reached an agreement. They spent ten times more time studying economic issues and wanted to get some money from somewhere, but they did not find any good solutions.

It seems that before conquering Sichuan's feedback on the treasury, there is no chance to make a fortune. Sony and Oboi have to admit their failure. The two of them discussed for a whole afternoon and their heads were a little ache, so they started drinking tea and chatting about irrelevant trivial matters for a while.

"There is a case in Zhejiang," Oboi picked it up in the memorial and took out a copy and looked at it. It was a case about a local rich man. The matter was not big, and it is estimated that the chief officials of the Ministry of Justice would not be interested in carefully reviewing it. Maybe they would hand it over to any official to handle it: "Oh, these Han people are so brave that they dare to write a rebuttal."

"What's the antonym?" Sony asked while drinking tea.

"It's not really a rebellion," Oboi turned over the memorial and threw it aside. He and Sony now looked at these trivial matters just to take a little rest, and would not bother to study them carefully: "Only the magistrate and another person sued him."

"The family should be quite rich." Sony took another sip of tea calmly. Generally speaking, the first person who sued the first person could get his family property, and even the magistrate sued him for rebellion, but there was no final decision - Sony felt as if he had smelled something.

"These lawless Han people don't know how much money they have." Oboi really wanted to deal with this Han people who didn't know how to respect Manchus, and let the literati in Jiangnan know the power of the court. However, even the county magistrate spoke, but the case was not decided yet. Naturally, there was a reason for it: "The prefect of Huzhou, the academic and political education in Zhejiang, and the generals stationed in the Eight Banners in Hangzhou all guaranteed this person that he did not rebel. Hey, there was also the admiral of Jiangnan Liang Huafeng among the guarantors."

Oboi felt that there were so many officials as a guarantor, so there was no need to not give them face. Oboi and Sony both understood that this book could not be a real anti-book. If the crime was unforgivable, these officials would not dare to accept bribes and come forward to protect the person.

"It seems that it is indeed very rich." Sony repeated again, and was still drinking tea slowly. A gentry from Huzhou Prefecture could just find the Huzhou prefect to protect him. He could even join the Manchu generals who were stationed in Hangzhou to defend the Eight Banners, and even the Green Camp Admiral of a province in Lin Province. He was probably a very rich person.

Oboi was stunned for a moment. When Sony said it for the first time just now, Oboi mistakenly thought that the Chief Auxiliary Secretary was just asking casually, but if Sony repeated it, Oboi would not notice it, it would be a big loss.

Before Oboi reacted, Sony continued to ask in a calm tone: "Does there be many people involved in this case? Are they all rich?"

"Let me see!" Oboi took out the memorial that had just been thrown into the pile of paper again, hurriedly opened it, and looked carefully.

Sony got up and went home after drinking tea. He was old and could not work like Oboi. After sending the Chief Auxiliary out, the energetic Oboi ran back to the table to continue the trial. Soon he had a rough estimate of the situation of the dealer, the people involved in this case, and the benefits the court could get from it.

After reading the memorial, Oboi pondered for a moment. In addition to the financial losses, as Deng Ming repeatedly expeditioned the east, there were also some discussions in the southeast that were not conducive to the court. By handling this case, the scholars in the southeast could more clearly realize who they were under.

Oboi ordered his staff to find all the records of the Southeast gentry cases in the past two years: "Well, how to judge this case is a simple matter, but when will the criminals be executed? If the court fights Sichuan, it will have the best effect? ​​Then let these rampant Han people live for a few more months."

...

At this time, Deng Ming was not far from Chengdu city. He thought about how to spend less money and do more work along the way. Finally, he really thought about several solutions: "Humans are emotional animals. Instead of letting them save the dividend money and then forget about this, it is better to give them an impressive night."

"You will return to the Du Mansion first, and set up a list at each pavilion, announcing that I will return to the Du Mansion in three days to hold a celebration ceremony for the triumphal from Myanmar. We invite members of parliament, officials, and scholars to watch the military parade." After thinking about the countermeasures, Deng Ming asked the guards to return to Chengdu to report the news. In the past, he had always been very low-key, but this time he decided to do the opposite.

Most of the soldiers participating in the expedition to Myanmar were from Chengdu. Deng Ming sent the Rangers to inform them separately and asked them to put on the best clothes to participate in the Triumph, so that they could bring their families to watch. All the knights on the three walls also stopped taking vacations, and Deng Ming needed them and him to go back to Chengdu again. Of course, in order to occupy their holiday this day, Deng Ming was preparing to pay three times his salary, and he could also bring his family to visit.

Zhang Bang was to attract fellow scholars to visit the triumphal ceremony. Deng Ming also prepared several projects for this ceremony, in order to leave a deep impression on fellow scholars: "Didn't some people say that the conquest of Myanmar is a waste of money and a waste of military power? Don't you suspect that I did not win a great victory? Well, let me show you the evidence of the great victory."

Zhou Kaihuang and his guards were somewhat unexpected for Deng Ming's attention to public opinion, because Deng Ming had never visited famous scholars and great scholars when he went to Jiangnan before, and the scholars collected from the southeast were all children of small landlords and rich peasants. Rather than saying that Deng Ming wanted to gain the favor of the scholar-official class, it was better to say that it was for practical purposes of education. Deng Ming usually did not act as a respectful act of wise men. Even for an important figure like Chen Zuocai, Deng Ming did not ask about his well-being. After taking the lead in applauding Chen Zuocai last time, many professors thought that Deng Ming was the beginning of the action to win over Chen Zuocai, but he had not seen any follow-up actions. Now many people think that Deng Ming's applause may be because he completely ignored the scholar class and despised the role and power of public opinion.

"How come I don't pay attention to speech?" Deng Ming was a little surprised at the doubts of his subordinates. Perhaps he has been committed to improving the status of soldiers over the years and trying to let the people realize that the outcome of the war is closely related to the vital interests of everyone.

However, the Sichuan Army's two attacks this time led to a war-weariness in western Sichuan. The war in Myanmar was small, and most of the income was used by Deng Ming on special projects; the income from the attack on Zhejiang was completely consumed by unprecedented immigration operations. In order to ensure the food and accommodation of immigrants, the maritime trade income obtained by western Sichuan in Chongming was filled in the Chengdu-district of Premier Deng. Even the income from selling ships was used to pay the food and accommodation for immigrants.

In addition to military expenditure, the bonuses given to soldiers, and various preferential treatments, this offensive battle that took nearly a year, not only did not get the money but also lost more than one billion yuan. The Western Sichuan governments are not interested in another similar immigration war for the time being; and the bosses who supported the war before hoped to cultivate and maintain a period of well-being after the war finally ended, at least let them expand production and take back the investment this year.

Therefore, it is normal for war-weary speech to appear, but Deng Ming does not want Western Sichuan to think that war is harmful or useless.
