Chapter 542

"Yes, Emperor." Cai Ge nodded his head, which repeated Yang Chendong's request. The next time, Zhuqi town and several eunuch leaders were discussing how much silver the new army needed to train this time and how much population they needed to trade.

As Yang Chendong imagined, Zhuqi town really doesn't pay special attention to its population. Especially after Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong were occupied by the minwang forces, many refugees fled there. Now they are entrenched in the southeast provinces, and even many are coming near Nanjing.

According to the following officials, the emergence of these refugees has greatly affected public security in other places. Only their food and drink is a big problem that Lhasa wants to solve, which often gives other local officials a headache.

This time, these people may be transported out by means of trade. As for whether this will strengthen mercenaries. Hehe, if we don't say that they don't provide population, is there no other way for mercenaries? It will be very difficult for these refugees who live in poverty to become an army. These people don't have enough to eat and wear, and their health is generally bad. Otherwise, Nanming will call them into the army. Otherwise, the king of Min will not let them leave their territory lightly.

In short, these people seem to exist like chicken ribs in Zhuqi Town, and even most of them are cumbersome. They just take the opportunity to give them to mercenaries, let them have a headache, or let them worry, so as not to go to a strong army to threaten themselves.

After thinking about it, Zhuqi town began to ask three eunuch leaders to count the refugee population. According to him, except for strong young people and beautiful young women, other refugees can be traded. If a large amount of gold and silver were exchanged, Nanming would have the strength to train the new army and strengthen himself.

The number of refugees has long been reported by local officials, and the number has reached as many as five million. Most of them are refugees from Guangdong, because they have long been prepared. When the forces of the king of Min occupy a place in Guangdong, they basically get very little population except some fields and houses. The number of refugees in Guangdong alone has reached nearly three million.

Among these five million people, the proportion of women and men is almost the same, accounting for one third each, and the proportion of the elderly and children is almost the same, accounting for one sixth each. In this way, the approximate account will come to a result.

About 1.5 million women, each with 20 liang of silver, that is, 30 million liang of tattooed silver.

The old man is about 900000, with five liang of silver per person, which is 4.5 million liang of tattooed silver.

About 900000 children, 15 liang of silver per person, that is 13.5 million Liang.

There are about one million men (half a million left by Nanming and the remaining one million), 500000 Liang per person, that is, 50 million Liang.

Taken together, the total population is about 4.3 million, and 98 million silver can be obtained under the transaction.

When the figures came out, even Zhuqi town took a breath. He did not expect that it was just some vagrants who could increase his financial revenue so much. Once these 98 million taels are available, Nanming's economy will be revitalized. It will not only have money to train the new army, but also create more armor and weapons. At the same time, it can also be used to revitalize the country. It is not impossible for Nanming to make an earth shaking change.

"Ha ha, good, good." he said three good words in a row, which completely revealed the excitement in Zhu Qizhen's heart. "It is my will to order all the state governments to send all the refugees to the Songjiang mansion. Well, not only vagrants, but also those who commit crimes and crimes all over the country. Those who refuse to mend their ways after repeated education are also sent to Songjiang mansion at the same time. Partner, it's up to you to do it together with CAI Zhong Aiqing. By the way, don't forget the fourth brother of the Yang family. Release the surveillance on him immediately and let him quickly contact the Yang bank and sue him Tell him the specific amount we can trade, but don't let them take out enough money at that time. "

At the moment, Zhu Qizhen has long thrown Yang Chendong's threat theory aside. What he has to do now is how to make Nanming rise again under his leadership.

In this way, the edicts of Zhuqi town were issued without the discussion of the ministers. The reason for doing so is that he doesn't want to give people words and go to court. Based on his understanding of those ministers, once he knew that he had a population and trade with mercenaries, he was afraid that he would stand up and stop it.

Although these ministers have long been helpless to the people. But they have read the books of sages since they were young. Naturally, they all want to learn to be saints. Such abandonment of the people is absolutely unacceptable.

Even if they won't agree, why should they ask for their permission? I'm the emperor.

But there are no airtight pants in the world, let alone so many people involved in this matter. The ministers below knew this matter in less than a day. Then they hurried to the palace one by one. Needless to say, they came to advise.

In this regard, Zhuqi town has long been prepared to refuse to meet anyone on the grounds of his physical discomfort. As for whether they will make trouble after they can't see anyone, let them go. If it hadn't been for the Zu Xun who didn't go to the doctor's punishment early in the morning, he really didn't mind looking for a few people to operate at this time and kill the prestige of the ministers who only know how to eat, drink and enjoy every day and are useless at the critical time.

According to the will, the first person to benefit is Yang Yang, the fourth master of the Yang family.

He was staying well in Jianning mansion. Suddenly, a group of royal guards came and took him away from the Yang family's ancestral house.

Many people saw this scene at that time. Originally, the governor of Jianning, Li daotong, wanted to say something to stop it, because he knew that this person was the brother of Zhongdan Gong. Can he get rid of it once something happens in his own territory?

However, when he appeared with a group of government offices, he immediately counseled the royal guards wearing flying fish clothes, black gauze hats, Luan belts and embroidered spring knives. These are the emperor's people. If he dares to stand up and say no, I'm afraid even he will be arrested.

Looking at Li daotong's atmosphere, Yang Yang didn't blame him. Even in front of this scene, he had already prepared. He has always heard about what his sixth brother has done. It is sooner or later that the Yang family will be implicated.

So Yang Yang didn't shout or make trouble all the way, so he left Jianning mansion with the royal guards. His cooperation also saved him from flesh and blood. Soon after leaving Jianning, another group of royal guards came and announced to his face that emperor Yingzong invited him to Nanjing as an official.

With the arrival of these royal guards, his treatment has also been improved. At least no one gives him any face in person. As soon as he entered Nanjing, he was placed in custody in a small courtyard.

Although there is no restriction on his personal freedom, even if he wants to go shopping, no one will stop him. But there are always some royal guards behind him, which makes him know that he is still being watched. After thinking about it, I'm afraid the reason why these people didn't fight him was because the power of the sixth brother was growing. They didn't want to annoy the sixth brother until the matter was settled.

In this way, after less than 20 days, suddenly another edict appeared in front of him. He was chartered by the emperor Yingzong as the general representative of the Yang bank in Nanming. For a moment, all the royal guards around him were removed. It was really removed. No one came to monitor him.

Having just regained his freedom, he saw Cao Jixiang, the leader of today's eunuch, appear in front of him. First, he comforted him for a while, then he talked about the population and trade between Nanming and Zhongdan Gong, and asked him to hurry up the site selection in Nanjing, Songjiang and Jianning, and then raise money.

Fly to the branches and be a Phoenix. Although this is mostly used to describe women, it can also be used to describe Yang Yang's experience at this time.

Just as Cao Jixiang had just left, a platoon of cold front appeared in front of him. The leader of the team is the Silver Tiger platoon leader Yang Yang Yang once met. He once stayed in the Yang family village outside the capital of the northern Ming Dynasty and is one of Yang Chendong's trusted subordinates.

The arrival of Silver Tiger not only protects the safety of fourth master Yang Yang, but also helps him prepare for Yang's Bank. Many contacts with the security agency have to go through his hand. It's not that Yang Chendong doesn't trust his fourth brother. He really doesn't want his fourth brother to get involved in dangerous things.

Nanming wanted to trade with mercenaries, and the sale of human beings was like a gust of wind. At a time, various forces had different reactions.

When the news reached the northern Ming Dynasty, Dai Zong Zhu Qiyu was silent, and then scolded Zhu Qizhen loudly in front of his civil and military officials.

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty by the emperor Taizu, our Ming Dynasty has benefited millions of people and is determined to let them live a good life. When has there been a saying of trading people? This Zhuqi town clearly ignores the ancestral laws." Zhu Qiyu, who has been sitting on the same table with Zhuqi town for a long time, at least has to call his cousin instead of an English clan in the past.

Zhu Qiyu was on fire on the Golden Dragon chair, and all the ministers below were silent. When it comes to the construction in the early Ming Dynasty, there are indeed some rules, such as no marriage, no marriage, no tribute, the son of heaven guarding the country, the death of the king, and so on. This has been much tougher than other dynasties. But there is no saying that people cannot be traded in these rules. Not to mention, in order to survive, even the king with a different surname was granted in Nanming. Now what is it to deal with the displaced people for military expenses?
