The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 794
Ding Yi is used to hugging family members, because he feels that hugging family members often can enhance mutual affection.

In the previous life, Chinese people seldom did this. Instead, they saw foreigners hugging often on TV, so Ding Yi once reminded himself that when children are still young, fathers should hug more often, because when they grow up After that, if you want to hug them again, they will not be happy.

"Ding Ye pays homage to his father." The eldest son Ding Ye is thirteen years old, he may be well-nourished, and he is a bit tall, but he is still so mischievous, saying that he is paying his respects to his father, his eyes are rolling around, obviously absent-minded, It seems to be looking at such a huge palace.

Come here, Ding Yi originally wanted to tell him to go over, but after thinking about it, he still walked over by himself.

Ding Ye took a step back subconsciously, with a flustered expression on his face.

From childhood to adulthood, he was beaten by Ding Yi the most, and fear naturally arose in his heart.

"It's already so tall." Ding Yi laughed, and stepped forward to hug him tightly.

He tried to lift Ding Ye up like he did when he was a child, but Ding Ye's face was not very happy.

After all, he has grown up, and he no longer likes his father to hug him, Ding Yi secretly sighed.

Thinking back to when Ding Ye was only two or three years old when he was a child, every time he saw him, he would raise his hands and call out in a childish voice, "Daddy, give me a hug—"

Now dad has become a father. The same title, in this era, seems to have a kind of separation, which has widened the distance between father and son.

Just as Ding Yi let go of Ding Ye, his eyes blurred, and a pleasant fragrance rushed into his nose.

With a splash, someone threw himself into his arms: "Dad, I miss you so much."

The eldest daughter, Ding Mi, is one year younger than Ding Ye, and now she has grown into a big girl. She has inherited Ruan Wenyan's appearance and figure, and her skin is much fairer and tenderer than Ruan Wenyan's. She is already an obvious beauty embryo.

She is the liveliest and clingiest of all Ding Yi's children, and she is also the most favored by Ding Yi.

Ding Yi laughed loudly, picked her up high, and then found that it was very difficult, and he really couldn't hold her anymore.

Ding Xiang, Shen Zui, and Ding Cheng in the back are very boring, and they all look like little adults.

Ding Xiang is the most well-behaved and serious: "Ding Xiang, my son, pay homage to my father, and wish my father a long life."

Ding Yi was slightly stunned, and then realized that today is his birthday in this world.

He seldom celebrated birthdays in the past, and at most had a meal with his family. Last year, he never celebrated at all, and he forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Siqing had a heart. On his birthday, he sent his wife and children to the capital.

"Alright, Ding Xiang has grown taller too." Ding Yi chuckled, stepped forward and hugged Ding Xiang.

Ding Xiang's face was a little excited, but he quickly returned to calm, and he couldn't tell whether he liked it or not.

At such a young age, Ding Xiang already resembles Ding Yi, with a deep scheming mind.

Because of his surname Shen, Shen Zui was the least favored among Ding Yi's subordinates.

However, under the guidance of Shen Shikui, he is also very polite.

Ding Yi just walked over and wanted to hug him, but he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed respectfully: "I wish my lord father, good luck as in the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan."

"Okay, get up quickly." Ding Yi hugged Shen Zui heavily. The child's surname was Shen. From a young age, he might feel that he would be different from others. Ding Yi always took care of him and acted that he liked Shen Zui the most.

"I heard from your grandfather that you did well in the exam recently, very good, work hard." He and Shen talked a few words at most, and encouraged him.

Shen Zui was really happy, the excitement couldn't be hidden on his face.

The youngest son, Ding Cheng, is only 11 years old, and he also knelt and kowtowed like Shen Zui, with a good appearance.

Ding Xiang stood beside him with his hands down respectfully, motionless.

On the other hand, Ding Ye and Ding Mi were whispering and chatting happily.

The personalities of the several sons and daughters are completely different, and they are almost all influenced by their mothers.

Ruan Wenyan didn't have much scheming, and so did Ding Ye and Ding Mi, they were more free-wheeling.

Qin Nan is the most scheming, and Ding Xiang is also the most like Ding Yi.

Shen Chuyingfang's later life is a foolish and sweet person, and Shen Zui is similar to Ding Cheng, a bit dull and not agile enough.

After seeing his wife and children, Ding Yi summoned Ruan Wenlong, Li Zhongyi, Ruan Siqing, Chen Youfu and other Lushun civil and military personnel to the Wuying Hall.

"The last batch of machines from the Craftsmanship Bureau has arrived in Beijing." Li Zhongyi smiled and said, "When the machines are installed in place, the prince must go and have a look. You haven't seen our new products for more than a year."

"Okay, okay." Ding Yi was overjoyed, Li Zhongyi said so, there must be something good: "Can it be in place tomorrow?"

He can't wait.

"of course can."

"Song Yingxing is now the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Your Craftsmanship Bureau is temporarily under the Ministry of Industry, but you are independent. You only need to report to the king and Song Yingxing."

"Let's do it first. In the future, the king will reorganize the court, and then we will talk about it." Ding Yi comforted his subordinates.

The military generals are all sealed as chief soldiers, but the civilian officials cannot be sealed yet.

"Thank you, my lord, we understand." Everyone laughed.

Then Ruan Wenlong reported to Ding Yi that Ding Yi hadn't left Beijing for more than a year. Ding Yi's previous sites, including Shandong, Jizhen, Lushun, Tianjin, Jeju, etc., had already earned more than 600 million taels.

Of course, according to Ding Yi's current expenditure, this amount of money is not enough.

Fortunately, Ding Yi has plundered everywhere in Datong, Ningxia, Nanzhili and other places in the past two years, plus Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's huge wealth.

Now Ding Yi already has 3000 million taels of silver in his hands, but it is not enough for food.

Ding Yi said excitedly: "Siqing just sent the information from the senior officials."

"Last year, the senior staff received 400 million 20 taels and stored 70 shi of grain."

"So many?" Ruan Wenlong looked in disbelief, the little official suddenly surpassed Jeju and Lushun?

"In fact, Dayuan's local area only accounts for one-third, Luzon's income is 70, and the gold and silver production in Tai O Province is getting higher and higher, accounting for nearly half."

It turns out that the main source of income for senior officials is the gold and silver from Tai O.

Ding Yi already has three gold mines and two silver mines there, and they have just entered a period of full production, and the output will only increase in the future.

And Xu Erxian's goal is to open two more gold mines by the end of this year.

There is also a future for development in Luzon. Now Ding Yi’s taxes in Luzon are not as good as Spain’s taxes in Luzon. The main income is his own business income.

The reason is that too many Chinese businessmen over there have been killed by Westerners, and they have not yet recovered. Once they recover to the previous level, there is no problem at all with annual revenue exceeding one million.

It sounds like Ding Yi has a lot of money in his hands now, and it seems that he can't use it all up.

Dan Ding Yi said with a serious face: "Everyone, don't get too excited, you still have to be steady."

"A lot of money was robbed by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and ourselves in the past, but this kind of thing can only be done once. Now the clan has robbed it all, and Nanzhili has robbed it all. At most, Jiangnan can still rob it." Rob, in the future we will completely rely on our own business behavior and taxation, you guys have to help me raise the taxation, if the national taxation can reach [-] million taels a year, we will have a good life."

Everyone nodded.

Don't look at the peace of the world now, in fact, Ding Yi's soldiers and horses are in Jiangnan, Zhejiang, and Fuzhou to pacify the local gentry and powerful.

Officials and gentry pay rations together, which is opposed by officials and gentry all over the world. Ding Yi's people are calming down everywhere, which is one of the reasons why he has not started war against the Manchu Qing.

Controlling and pacifying the interior, ensuring that there will be a steady stream of food and silver taxes in the future, and with the country firmly established, he can rest assured that he will wipe out the Qing Dynasty.

As for the annual income of [-] million, Ding Yi is still very confident about this goal.

After all, at the peak of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, 8000 to [-] million taels of silver were recorded in the national treasury a year.

Ding Yi also collects commercial taxes, and taking over Zheng Zhilong's maritime business, the flag-issuing item alone exceeds 1000 million.

There is no problem at all in breaking through [-] million in the future.

The next day Yumen listened to the government, and the Ministry of War urgently reported that there was a rebellion in Jintan, Jiangnan Province, and the officials were in an uproar.

But as soon as Zhang Jinyan finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that what was made was not the rebellion of the imperial court.

Those who gather to make troubles are called 'sniffing class'.

In the original history, Jintan's "nose-cutting class" was also well-known.

In May of the first year of Shunzhi (1644), the "Nose Cutting Class" in Jintan, Jiangnan participated in the struggle against Qing Dynasty.In the Ming Dynasty, the landlords and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River called their servants "nose", and they drove them at will and punished them arbitrarily.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, with the intensification of class contradictions, these domestic servants also rose up to rebel against the landlords and gentry.

In order to wash away the insult of "nose head", they called themselves "Nose Cutting State".After the Qing army went south, the "Nose Cutting Squad" also joined the vigorous anti-Qing struggle.Jintan Peng's servants, Pan Mao and Pan Zhen, the leaders of the "Nose Cutting Squad", claimed to be the commanders, gathered tens of thousands of people, and captured Jintan County in May of the first year of Shunzhi, and then attacked nearby counties. It is clear that the ruler has no peace.In the following year, Qing Angbangzhang Jinghamu's army came to encircle and suppress them. Due to the informant of the former Ming Jinyi commander and Jintan County native Shi Shunzhen, the Qing army adopted surprise attack tactics, captured Pan Mao and Pan Zhen, and released them. He was executed in Nanjing, which put down the movement of the "Nose Cutting Squad".

Of course, the Manchu Qing did not go to Jiangnan this time, but Ding Yi's will to abolish slaves went to Jiangnan.

The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River resisted one after another, unwilling to do this, and it was even more impossible to distribute the land to the slaves.

Brothers Pan Mao and Pan Zhen, representatives of the "Nose-cutting Squad" again, raised their arms and said, the imperial court has abolished slavery and asked the family owners to give us the land, but the gentry are unwilling, what should we do?Let's take it ourselves.

All of a sudden, there was a cloud of voices in the south of the Yangtze River. Thousands of people gathered in just a few days.

Xiao Yongqiu, the commander-in-chief of Yingtian, immediately assembled his troops. Pan Mao and Pan Zhen retreated to Jintan County, and did not attack the official army. They asked the court to give an explanation that they were willing to surrender.

Xiao Yongqiu was not in a hurry to destroy them, and reported to the court first.

Ding Yi was secretly delighted when he heard the words, his officers and soldiers went down to do things, they were quite kind, usually they only searched the family property, but when these slaves got up to work, they directly killed the whole family of the gentry.

After fierce court discussions, Ding Yi finally gave the order.

Brothers Pan Mao and Pan Zhen killed officials and rebelled, which is a serious crime, but when Nian speaks out for the people and slaves, although the law does not allow it, the situation is especially forgivable.

As long as the two of them surrender and admit their mistakes, they will be sentenced to ten years in prison.

All the subordinates were acquitted and released, and the grain fields were distributed according to the regulations. Among them, Pan Mao and Pan Zhen were divided into one hundred mu each.

When the imperial decree arrived at the Jintan, Pan Mao and Pan Zhen happily abandoned their troops and surrendered.

Judging the chaos and chasing peace.
