Nine hundred and fifty-nine facades of three people
No one would think that they have too much money, let alone people like Xiao Ruxun who want to do a lot of things.
The most basic and important requirement to accomplish these things is to have a lot of money. Only by having a lot of money can you do a lot of things.
Therefore, Xiao Ruxun was determined to build his Great Qin Dynasty into a silver black hole, and take advantage of the arrival of the Age of Discovery to absorb all the real money and silver from the world and then use it to build it.
And before this, two things need to be done.
The first thing is to eliminate all the landlords, gentry and powerful people who have mastered the traditional sea outlets of the three southeastern provinces, and take the land population and resources into the hands of the central government. In the future, when building a large sea level, there is no need to pay land rent and population rent to those landlords.
The second thing is to use the wealth obtained by these great landlords, gentry and powerful people to make money for several lifetimes to lay the foundation needed for Kaihai Dao, lay the foundation for the school, and build the three southeastern provinces into models for the new Qin Dynasty to start again.
Just experiment here, and then gradually expand inward.
Of course, Myanmar and Luzon, which I just mastered, are also very important. In Xiao Ruxun's plan, Myanmar and Luzon are important grain bases in the future Little Ice Age. It is not the coldest time yet. When it is difficult to produce much grain in the coldest north, the large amount of grain produced in Myanmar and Luzon will become the key.
Let them transport the grain from Myanmar and Luzon directly to the Tianjin port along the seaway and from the capital to other places. Myanmar and Luzon directly became national food bases, and people with ulterior motives were not allowed to go to Myanmar and Luzon to make mistakes.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is used to transport military supplies and military food, and the rest is transported by sea.
I don’t know how many things happened to a Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in the entire history of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was a real temple with a small demon wind and a large pool of shallow turtles. Xiao Ruxun, who focused on the ocean, would not allow those turtles to control the economic lifeline of the north.
Only the ocean has enough mind to accommodate the group of turtles who think about making trouble all day long.
Xiao Ruxun, who wants to do so many things, obviously needs a lot of money.
Where does money come from?
Of course, it was the group of turtles in front of me.
Xiao Ruxun clearly remembered that after Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, he tortured 70 million taels of silver from the group of turtles. Before that, Chongzhen cried and shouted, but he didn't take out tens of thousands of taels of silver from their pockets.
The richest of these people is obviously the noble group. Their family business is here, living in the capital for generations, and there are definitely countless real money waiting to be developed in their lairs, and there are relatively few civil servants in Beijing.
They usually buy property in their hometowns and act as wealthy people in the capital. They pretend to be honest. They probably don’t have much oil and water to squeeze in their homes in the capital. They have to scrape them and squeeze them at the place.
This has been tangiblely certified in the three southeastern provinces.
Then there is the royal property, the royal property handed over to the eunuchs in the capital and the money in the hands of the Jinyiwei. Although Shen Yiguan executed many eunuchs who were interested in Zhu Yijun, he didn't know why, and he had not had time to attack those royal property such as the royal countryside. This was also a piece of fat.
Next is Prince Zhu Ming from all over the world. These princes are rich one by one, and famous and famous are rich.
Anyway, they are all targets to be dealt with, especially the Wuxun Group. Xiao Ruxun has his own Wuxun and doesn't need them anymore. Except for Xu Hongji who can give him some face, the rest will be ruined. If you don't keep one, you will definitely die, but it seems a bit ugly when you start.
So even Chen Li didn't kill him. Among the important figures, even people like Zhao Shiqing and Cai Guozhen did not plan to kill them now. To leave a buffer period, he still needs some time to control the administration of the entire capital and some time to get his subordinates to adapt to this situation.
Of course, he actually did not lack manpower. Two Fujianese and one Nanzhili people had already fallen into his hands. These three people were enough to support the appearance of a central government for him.
The two Fujianese are Li Tingji and Ye Xianggao, and the other is Wang Xijue, a Nanzhili.
Ye Xianggao was with Ye Mengxiong in Nanjing and went to Xiao Ruxun for the Northern Expedition. When Xiao Ruxun heard Ye Xianggao's name, he asked Heishui to check how his family in Fujian were and whether they had been cleaned up. The news he got was a bit surprised.
The Ye family is very crisis-conscious. It is probably the experience accumulated when they were experiencing Japanese turmoil in their early years. The land reform working group took the initiative to contribute land as soon as they entered their hometown. Thousands of acres of land were handed over to the working group. As a result, they were established as a typical example of an enlightened gentry, retaining part of the land and property, and now they are living a good life in Fujian.
After learning the news, Xiao Ruxun knew that Ye Xianggao was good. Two days before the Lugou Bridge mutiny, Xiao Ruxun secretly sent Zhou Yao to contact available civil servants to support him. Ye Xianggao was one of them. Later, it turned out that Ye Xianggao, who had been excluded, was indeed available.
Li Tingji is also a strange man. He was poor when he was young, so after becoming an official, he became addicted to doing good deeds, and eventually he was full of beggars at home. Whenever he went out, he would surround him for money, which made him poor after resigning from office and died of poverty and illness.
He also set a record, the longest resignation was ignored by the emperor. He was also angry by Zhu Yijun, who was increasingly lazy in his duties, so he decided to resign and go home. After writing five resignation letters to Zhu Yijun, he donated his house in the capital to the poor. The family left first, and he lived in a dilapidated temple by himself.
As a result, who knew that this delayed for five years. He wrote 123 resignation letters in five years but failed to be approved. He also got the "Ya Ming" of the Temple Master. He finally collapsed and ignored it. He risked his head to beheaded and went home. Zhu Yijun ignored it and allowed him to die in poverty and illness four years later.
In this era when he was in a fork in the road, Li Tingji still did not change his weirdness. On the eve of Chen Yiguan's rebellion, as an official of the Ministry of Rites, he left the capital and fled back to his hometown after receiving the news. As a result, he met Xiao Ruxun's Northern Expedition Army in his hometown and encountered land reform.
But what is a bit strange is that Li Tingji was even assigned to a poor self-cultivated farmer family because his family had too little land and was mobilized by members of the land reform working group to fight against the landlords, which made him stunned. In the end, he was forced to have no choice but to reveal that he was an official of the court.
The people from the land reform working group did not believe at first, how could the imperial officials be so poor? The family had only a few dozen acres of land. He had no choice but to take out the official uniform and the official identity certificate to prove that he was an official, but he was directly controlled by the army.
Later, after Xiao Ruzhi was appointed as the head of Fujian by Xiao Ruxun, she learned about this and told Xiao Ruxun about it. After Ye Mengxiong reminded him, he remembered the famous temple master Zhuge and ordered Li Tingji to be sent over.
On the eve of the Lugou Bridge Mutiny, Li Tingji and Wang Xijue were sent to the Lugou Bridge Camp together, and under proper protection, they witnessed the entire process of the mutiny.
