Chapter 2216

Zhang Juzheng, who was working in the Wenyuan Pavilion in the Bauhinia city of the Ming Dynasty, suddenly received a memorial. When he opened it, he was surprised to spray a mouthful of tea on the spot.

The memorial came from the palace. The Little Emperor Zhu Yijun sent someone to give it to him. It was played by Tian Yishang. It was written clearly that Tong Jian's immortal princes went to Nanyang and took more than 2 million liang of silver, more than 100000 liang of gold, spices, spices and other goods worth millions of Liang on the spot.

It's just a trip. If you add the value of more than a dozen large galleons, it has exceeded the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty in a year.

It is said in the memorial that a galleon costs tens of thousands of ducats. Ducats are gold coins used by the Flemish state. A gold coin is equivalent to pure gold, weighing about one money, ten money or two, that is, ten ducats are one or two gold coins.

Tens of thousands of ducats? Thousands of taels of gold? How many thousand taels is a ship worth? More than a dozen? The Freon machine guns and muskets on the ship are also money. The total value of Nanyang this time is 56 million taels of silver.

Tong Jian walked around Nanyang. The wealth he robbed was too frightening.

In the fifth year of Wanli, the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was more than 4359800 Liang, and the court expenditure was more than 3494200 Liang.

In Wanli's sixth year, the court's revenue was more than 3.559 million Liang, and its expenditure was more than 3.888 million Liang.

Zhang Juzheng, as the first assistant, is familiar with these figures. This is the income and expenditure increased and decreased slightly after various reforms since he became the first assistant.

Now, seeing Tong Jian go to Nanyang and beat thousands of Falangji people, he robbed the other party of a total value of 5.6 million taels of goods?

Zhang Shoufu was a mouthful of old blood. He couldn't spit out if he wanted to.

Why are people so rich? It was robbed by a state called Aztec twenty thousand miles east of the Ming Dynasty. The Falangji people not only destroyed this country, but also enslaved the people there as slaves.

There are many gold and silver mines there.

Resisting the urge to spit blood, Zhang Juzheng said to the outsider, "go and call Ru Mo and Ziwei."

The Buddhist monk of Wenhua hall outside the door immediately took action. A moment later, two cabinet auxiliary ministers arrived. Zhang Juzheng handed over the memorials to Zhang Siwei.

The second assistant came over to watch, and his scalp was numb. "Isn't it? Nanyang robbed 5.6 million taels of goods after walking around? More than the total tax revenue of Huangming in a year?"

The memorial also pointed out that the gold and silver ships of the Falangji people have been going for decades. Every year, they have brought many wealth back to their country across the sea.

Shen Shixing also blew up. He didn't have time to watch the memorial, but he always understood.

Almost surprised, Shen Shixing couldn't hold his breath. He gathered around Zhang Siwei and looked at it. Shen Shixing wanted to cry, "Yuanfu, if those barbarians can be so relaxed... Hey, why should Yuanfu bother to work for the sake of our Emperor Ming state affairs?"

"These sailboats, which cost thousands of taels of gold, are only about 20 feet long. They are only half the length and width of Zheng Gonggong's treasure ship. If we had a fleet of Zheng Gonggong's era, we could arrive in Manila in a few days from the South China Sea... Manila is three or four times a year, and there are precious soil of wasteland everywhere? Hiss..."

If you had known that there are so many advantages in the remote areas of Nanyang, and the Dover Langji people are transporting gold and silver ship by ship, what reform would you change? The Daming Navy and the Daming army move.

Zhang Siwei also said with a bitter smile, "Tong Xianjun's departure is equivalent to the accumulation of several generations of aristocratic families."

Isn't it? Even if they had various relations with the Jurchen group in the late Ming Dynasty, those who were called the eight imperial merchants could copy five or six million liang of silver in one breath in the end?

When Li Zicheng entered the capital, he wantonly tortured, robbed and looted the nobles and senior officials of the Ming court. How much did he find in total? Seventy million taels? This is the money saved by many generations of nobles and senior officials in the capital.

Like Tong Jian, it only takes ten times to rob back and forth, which is comparable to Li Zicheng's search for the income of the whole capital.

Spain has been transporting gold and silver goods like this for more than 70 years!

Zhang Siwei, the second assistant, suddenly felt that his life was a little dull. In fact, he was a firm anti reform party. He couldn't stand Zhang Juzheng's great momentum. Only then did he become a little transparent and echo in the cabinet. Why did he oppose reform? Zhang Juzheng's reform is aimed at the powerful interests of all kinds of corrupt officials and gentry.

Zhangjia is definitely a big family in Shanxi. The existence of a land tiger certainly does not want the family interests to be weakened by Zhang Juzheng.

In all parts of the Ming Dynasty, there were many Zhang Siwei and Zhang Zhang. They were also dissatisfied with the reform, but they could not stand the first and auxiliary power.

Zhang Siwei is wholeheartedly waiting for Zhang Juzheng to lose power. It's like Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty. He will also be expelled from the chaotang and lose power.

After reading this memorial, Zhang Cifu really felt that it doesn't matter if the reform is not reform. Up to now, all their real estate and land have been sold. How much can they sell? Is it comparable to Tong Jian's harvest in Nanyang?

Come on, you're a ghost. Can Zhangjia have 1 million liang of silver?

He is the second assistant to the cabinet. He has been an official all his life. Grandpa Zhang Yiguan went to the Minister of rites and a Bachelor of Wu YINGDIAN.

His father, Zhang Yunling, was an official to the Minister of rites and a Bachelor of Wu YINGDIAN. My uncle became a big merchant under the protection of my grandfather and father. My uncle was the Minister of war.

From this, you can see how famous Zhangjia is.

But after so many years of accumulation, the total wealth of Zhangjia is far less than that of Tong Jian's trip to Nanyang.

What the hell is this life.

Although it is said that Tong Jian and Zhang Shiliang are all Falangji people suppressed by immortal magic, it has long been said in the memorials that it is not necessary to use immortal magic. As long as there are a group of large ships and some elite soldiers, it is not difficult to deal with those Falangji people in Manila.

Just like decades ago, didn't the navy in Guangdong beat another group of Falangji people?

"Yuan Fu, Xuan Qi Shaobao, Li Chengliang and Yu xiugao go to Beijing. Although Yu Dayou died, the Navy he built and Qi Shaobao cooperated seamlessly, beating Japanese pirates on land and sea and annihilating the enemy."

"I don't believe that I can't beat those Falangji people. If Tianyu doesn't take it, he will be blamed. These Falangji people are robbing other countries in the world and destroying countless countries and families. If my emperor sends troops, it will be a good act to save the world."

"Confucianism, we should educate the world and practice the merits and virtues of saints."

Zhang Siwei opened his mouth and couldn't refute. He even had a kind of evil fire. He wanted to promote the establishment of this matter faster. NIMA, what a distinguished family they Zhangjia are. After several generations of accumulation, they are not as knowledgeable as a group of Buddha Machine soldiers mud legs!! Can you bear it?

Isn't it? Those big soldiers of Buddha Lang machine and mud legs are escorting gold and silver across the sea in ships. Have Zhang Siwei seen silver in ships? His father met his grandfather??
