The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 481 I Have Confidence That I Can Conquer Them

In addition, there are also shops here, and they also sell things from Ming Dynasty and Japan, including the candy of the big officials, which made more than 2 taels.

Ding Yi was dissatisfied when he heard it. There are 8 people here, and the annual consumption is only so small?
Moreover, the people here are richer than those in Dengzhou, and there must be fewer immigrants.

"Not many major shops have been built yet, and the current manpower is used to build ports and shipyards." Zhong Zhennu explained.

"The most important thing is to make money, first build shops to every town level." Ding Yi said.

"..." Everyone.

Chen Haisheng nodded his head desperately, thinking that making money is the most important thing, and building shops first, I support it.

As the richest man in Jeju, he also felt that making money was the most important thing. With money, everything was easy to do.

In this way, Jeju’s income last year was 13.

The money expenditure is 43, and the income is 13, which seems to be a blood loss of 30.

However, there is 30 shi of surplus grain, so the income and expenditure are finally balanced, and there is a surplus.

But most of the places in the future still need money, especially when it is developing at a high speed, so Ding Yi requires that there be 20 stones saved here every year, and the accumulation can reach [-].

Sell ​​the remaining 25 taels first, and you can get nearly 40 taels of silver, which is enough for this year's expenses.

Ding Yi does not ask them to repay Lushun, as long as he can guarantee the income and expenditure by himself, and does not let Lushun pay for subsidies, it will be considered a success.

Everyone unanimously agreed.

According to this calculation, Zhong Zhennu will soon have a lot of money in his hands.

At that moment, Ding Yi decided that the 4th Battalion of Shen Zhixiang Navy, who escorted him, would be permanently stationed in Jeju in the future, guarding the two routes from Jeju and Japan to Phi Island.

Zhong Zhennu said that this is a small problem, Xiaoqian.

Then, starting from this month, [-] soldiers in Jeju will be given a monthly subsidy of five coins.

Last year's military expenditure was 10,000+, but it was a fixed consumption of weapons and armor. This year, it will be greatly reduced. For soldiers, there is still a small amount of subsidies, not just tax exemption and tax reduction. This is the only way to ensure that everyone is competing to be soldier.

And five dollars a month is relatively small, and the expenditure is not large.

Zhong Zhennu and others said it was okay, but it was indeed not too big.

Second, 500 new immigrants and [-] original residents were selected as officials, and tax cuts and a monthly subsidy of five coins were also given.

Everyone was overjoyed. Originally, they had a small number of people, but now they have more people and more people to do things.

Third, the head of the village and the head of the town also need to subsidize five yuan a month.

Listen everyone, I feel that Master Ding is really stingy in Jeju, he is always five cents and five cents, but he was generous when he was in Lushun.

But people here are very rich, Ding Yi can only make up for it.

There will definitely be more tax cuts this year, but there will also be more grain fields, so next year's revenue and expenditure should only increase and not decrease.

The difficulties here are the same as those in Lushun, and the population is still too small.

There are only more than 8 people in total, and there are horse breeders, farmers, fruit growers, seafood farmers, and sheep raisers, just like various factories.

Therefore, the labor force that can be spared to build houses and cities, build turrets and factories is a bit small.

Ding Yi said that he will continue to immigrate here, and by this time next year, at least [-] will be added to Jeju Island.

Now the priority here is the port first, the shop first, then the housing (this can be done by the immigrants), and then the shipyard, gun repair factory (now they are all simple small houses for temporary use, there is really no There is no time to do it by hand).

Zhong Zhennu's plan is that within two to three years, all the buildings that should be built will be in place.

Finally, build the defense line with all your strength, including city walls, turrets, military forts, etc.

This side is far away from the battlefield, and military facilities can be placed at the end.

According to such an orderly development, from this year onwards, Jeju will also be able to make ends meet like Dengzhou, and everything seems to be going well.

But Ding Yi knew in his heart that if he wins the big officials, he must have invested a lot in the past few years. It is different from Dengzhou and Jeju, and it is definitely a huge gold-swallowing beast.

This requires him to earn more money in Dengzhou, Jeju, and Lushun.

Ding Yi lived in Jeju for a few days, entertained Muhu, former Korean officials, Ming people and other officials at all levels, tribal leaders, etc., and rewarded farmers who were good at raising horses and sheep, growing fruits, and hoarding fields.

The [-] garrisons who had watched the training were paid by Ding Yi himself in the first month. Although five yuan per person was not much, the garrisons were quite happy.

The army stationed on the island is the best now. After serving as a soldier, the family has tax exemption, no need to work, just training, one day off every six days, and learning Chinese characters.

Compared with the tiredness of raising horses and sheep, and the mess of farming and fruit farming, everyone still thinks it is best to be a soldier, after all, there are no battles to be fought here.

On September 9, Ding Yi came to Japan again with a small fleet of six ships.

This time he came quietly, did not go ashore in Hirado, and went directly to Iwami Ginzan.

Shang Kexi took Yu Liangtai, and Qiu Zhentai and others were already waiting for him on the shore.

These three were former officers of Dongjiang Town, and Ding Yi also planned to reuse them to balance the strength of Xu Dabao and Dongjiang.

This time Ding Yi brought Xu Erxian and Shen Zhixiang, both from the Dongjiang family.

"My lord." The three of them were also very excited to see Ding Yi, because they had sent someone over earlier last time and told them that they would be transferred back.

"Xu Bicheng is organizing soldiers and horses. He will bring 2000 people over to replace you in November." Ding Yi patted Shang Kexi on the shoulder: "Go back and lead the 16th Battalion for him. The 16th Battalion has 5000 soldiers and horses. Branch camp."

Shang Kexi's expression was excited: "Thank you for your trust, sir."

"Go, talk while walking."

Several people went up the mountain.

Ding Yi looked at Yu Liangtai again: "I have formed a new 10th Battalion, the garrison officers, Xu Erxian will also go, and you will be the commander of the 10th Battalion."

Yu Liangtai was both surprised and delighted, but he didn't know anything about the senior, and he looked puzzled, not knowing where it was, but he immediately said, "Thank you, sir."

Ding Yi said again: "Qiu Zhentai, you should also go to the senior officer first, and Xu Erxian, the water-filling division, will be the deputy. After the expansion of the army, you will reuse it."

"Thank you, my lord." Qiu Zhentai also had no objection. All the veterans from Dongjiang were present. His qualifications were a bit lower than others, and Xu Erxian said that he was good at water warfare, so he was indeed suitable for the navy.

Ding Yi described the senior officer to everyone, and explained the reason why the senior officer must be taken down, and all the generals felt that it made sense.

Only Shang Kexi thought about it: "According to what your lord said, there are a lot of familiar people on top of the big officials, and they don't accept outsiders. After taking down the big officials, it will definitely cause turmoil, and it will consume a lot of our Dongjiang's manpower, material and financial resources. Will it be in a hurry?"

The generals looked at Shang Kexi with doubts, but after all, few people in Dongjiang Town dared to doubt Ding Yi.

Ding Yi was not angry, and said with a smile: "Well, the initial investment may be huge, regardless of manpower or financial resources, but I already have a plan in my heart. As long as I follow the steps, I am confident that I can conquer them." Because I am a time traveler, I know how to conquer these savages.

Shang Kexi looked at Ding Yi, with a look of admiration slowly appearing on his face, he felt Ding Yi's deep self-confidence, there really is nothing in the world that can hinder Master Ding.

Everyone soon came to Yataki City.

Yataki Castle is an important defensive city on the west side of Iwami Ginzan. Shang Kexi currently has [-] troops stationed because there are relatively few troops on the west side.

But in the past two years, they hired local people to build six new forts and strengthen the castle. In addition, the city is halfway up the mountain, and the road is difficult to walk. It is almost impossible to capture here.

After entering the city, Ding Yi came to a room.

The rest of the generals stayed in the yard outside and waited.

There are already several people inside.
