The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 513
Mao Yuanyi also emphatically stated that the North Korean navy under Lord Xinhai used warship artillery to rescue the Ming army from a long distance, emphasizing that if he did not get rescue from Lord Xinhai, I am afraid that General Heihu would not only be unable to make meritorious deeds, but the entire army may be wiped out.

The battle report was delivered to the Ministry of War, and soon appeared on the young emperor's desk. More than [-] soldiers were wiped out, causing Chongzhen to be inexplicably sad and indignant.

Zhu Youjian immediately sent Tiqi to Ningyuan to arrest Liaodong Governor Qiu Jiahe and Chief Military Officer Song Wei, and praised Mao Yuanyi, Heihu, Ma Shilong and others.

He learned that the reason why the main force of the rescue troops were wiped out, but the partial division had a small gain and successfully escaped from the Jin army's suppression, was entirely because the navy of North Korea's Xin Haijun assisted the Ming army.

Emperor Chongzhen dug out more than a dozen censors who were too idle, and gave memorials to the matter, and threw them into the pile of waste paper.

These seventh-rank petty officials are like mad dogs, picking their noses and eyes on everything. During this time, they have written letters to impeach Mr. Xinhai of North Korea, and their target is directed at Mr. Xinhai's "Huaxia Big Bank".

Why?Because the "Huaxia Big Bank" violated the vital interests of some officials and gentry.

The loan business of the "Huaxia Big Bank" began to lend extensively, resulting in the usury of too many local tyrants and evil gentry not being released.

The large amount of coins minted by the "Huaxia Big Bank" led to the loss of the market for their crude and inferior private money, and of course they lost a lot of financial resources.

The money order business of the "Huaxia Big Bank" has already covered half of the Ming Dynasty. The convenient, fast, safe, and wide-ranging "Huaxia Big Bank" promissory note deposits and withdrawals have also caused the banknote business of official houses to plummet. They are too short More income from diversion of water....

Bureaucratic capital cannot win through commercial competition. Of course they resort to unfair competition. Fortunately, not everyone’s interests have been violated by Huang Sheng. The "Huaxia Big Bank" has been recognized by most officials and businessmen, but there are still a small number of people who are jumping behind the shadows Make a trip.

More than a dozen people from the imperial court gave Shizhong and Yushi impeachment of Mr. Xinhai for various reasons. The purpose was to make the emperor decree to stop the "Huaxia Big Bank" from conducting business in Daming. It would be better if it could be directly sealed.

Emperor Chongzhen did not find out that the existence of the "Huaxia Big Bank" was harmful to Ming Dynasty, because the imperial court was completely blank in the financial field, and could not even make money at a loss by minting coins.

But folks need money to use?This is a rigid demand, and the imperial court has to support it even if it pays money back. The "Huaxia Big Bank" suddenly appeared to solve this problem, and Emperor Chongzhen was quite satisfied.

In fact, there should be some profits from the imperial court minting coins, but unfortunately they were lost by officials at all levels. The emperor’s internal funds did not see any benefits, and the imperial household department had no income, which directly caused Chongzhen to be unclear.

The emperor saw Mao Yuanyi's memorial today, and remembered that Mr. Xinhai was loyal to Daming and assisted Daming in battle many times, so he found the memorial to impeach Mr. Xinhai and threw it away.

Exhausted, Chongzhen rubbed his temples, and said to Wang Cheng'en, who was waiting carefully by his side: "Are those few, the imperial censors crazy? What happened to Lord Xinhai of North Korea? Why did they target Lord Xinhai?"

Wang Cheng'en respectfully said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it must be Xin Haijun's bank that started the money order business, which made their family's business unable to make money."

Chongzhen said angrily: "These bastards have no ability to compare their business experience with others, and they are trying to use bad intentions. Damn it!"

"The maidservant knows that the money allocated by the Imperial Household Department has also begun to flow in the 'Huaxia Big Bank', and the fire consumption of silver and the transportation and horse fees for escorting have been saved a lot."

"Oh? There is such a thing? Chengen, is Mr. Xinhai's bank really good?"

"That's right. There is nothing wrong with doing business. The usury is only about [-]% a year. I want to suggest that Your Majesty deposit the internal money in the 'Huaxia Big Bank'. It is very convenient for Your Majesty to withdraw it when you need it. My servant It can make internal money generate [-]% profit every year.”

"Why didn't you say such a good thing earlier? How many great things can be done with an extra [-]% of silver every year!"

"My servant only recently found out that many adults are looking for ways to deposit money. After inquiring, I found out that they are doing it for a [-]% profit. The 'Huaxia Big Bank' does not give so much money to everyone."

"Since it's very convenient to use, of course we have to try it. Wang Chengen, you will contact the matter of depositing silver tomorrow. Let's deposit 50 taels first! I heard that the Marquis of Nan'an is also the big owner of the 'Huaxia Big Bank'. Is there such a thing?"

"It's true, and it's also because the Marquis of Nan'an is the owner, and the adults in the court can safely save their money. Everyone knows that the Marquis of Nan'an is very good at making money. It is said that his family sold those houses and shops in Wang Gong's factory. No less than one million taels, no one knows how much his family makes from selling KitKats."

Hearing Wang Chengen talking about Huang Sheng, Chongzhen felt lost, and said leisurely: "Marquis of Nan'an? Alas! It's a pity that he is not in the capital, otherwise there would be no defeat in Changshan."

"The Marquis of Nan'an lost his troops to the pirates in the South China Sea, so he must be winning and returning to the court soon."

"How can it be so convenient, Guangdong and Guangxi report, Guo Huaiyi's main force is still intact, and it is still a serious problem in the south." Chongzhen suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to talk too much with Wang Chengen, so he stopped speaking.

Wang Chengen obediently made another cup of tea for the emperor, and continued to stand by his side without saying a word.

Emperor Chongzhen really didn't understand economics, how could the government be poor if the officials and businessmen made a lot of money?In the face of the rich and wealthy, businessmen set up a name to collect taxes!
Real estate tax, personal adjustment tax, business tax, mining tax, vehicle and vessel tax, and inheritance tax only need to receive one tax, and the court will not be poor, and those who need to pay the tax can obviously afford it.

However, the Ming government only collected land taxes, and what it faced was not big landlords, but tenant farmers who might not be able to pay.

This is entirely because the executive power of the Ming court has been controlled by the bureaucratic group. The mine supervisor sent out to collect taxes in the Wanli year was actually besieged by Jiangnan scholars.

The billions of people in the Ming Dynasty were represented by the Donglin Party, so the finances of the Ming Dynasty were gradually stretched.

Wei Zhongxian came to power with a tough attitude. He was born as a gangster, so he naturally used all means to overthrow the Donglin Party, which was shy and represented Shengdou Xiaomin.

The young Chongzhen thought that most of the Donglin party members were really gentlemen, and believed that if they were reused, they would rule.

Wei Zhongxian called the eunuch party, but it was actually an imperial party. The most tragic situation happened, the emperor raised his butcher knife against his own camp.

Five years later, Chongzhen, who was always being deceived, woke up and no longer trusted the Donglin party members. Unfortunately, he no longer had any capable generals around him who could turn the tide, and the state affairs went from bad to worse.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Chongzhen, who was obviously not sleeping well, had dark circles under his eyes to discuss with the princes.

If the rescue fails, do you just sit back and watch the more than [-] Liaodong elite soldiers trapped in the Daling River be wiped out by the Jin army? If the court gives up the rescue, will there still be soldiers who will dare to stick to the city outside the pass?

At the court meeting, all civil and military officials sighed, everyone knew that Dalinghe must be rescued, but no one knew how to rescue it.

Where will the soldiers be transferred from?If there are fewer people, the same mistakes are bound to happen again, but it is not easy to have more people than the last rescue. Moreover, after hearing about the losses in the Battle of Changshan, most of the Ming army’s generals were silent, and the soldiers were all afraid of building slaves like tigers.

The imperial court forced these generals to send troops to Dalinghe. I am afraid that they may collapse if they walk halfway with their soldiers.

The national conditions are such that the princes of Gungun have no good strategy, but they will divert their attention.
