The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 357 Yan Shifan: “Stir it, stir it!”

Beijing, Yan Mansion,
A brightly lit room,
Many red-robed officials are sitting here at the moment.
Holding up his wine glass, Yan Shifan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is what happened in Kyushu Island true?"

"It's absolutely true, young minister. Thirty million taels of silver have already entered the capital from Tianjin. The blue bricks are cracking under the weight of the carriage!"

Looking at Yan Shifan seriously, Luo Wenlong beside him couldn't help but explain,
"Hey, thirty million taels of silver?"

Yan Shifan spoke in astonishment, holding the wine glass in his hand, his eyes full of burning passion.
You know, when it comes to making money, he, the young cabinet minister, dares to say he is the best in the Ming Dynasty. Who dares to claim to be second?
After all, he is a real man who even dares to smear Prince Yu’s long-term salary!

"According to people below, Zhang Xinzhi made a fortune overseas. He must have made at least several million taels of silver!"

Looking at Yan Shifan in front of him, Luo Wenlong continued to speak.
Because they are also jealous of this income!
"I'll discuss this with my father later, but who should I let go to Kyushu Island?"

As he was thinking, Yan Shifan could not help but knock on the table.

At this moment, Luo Wenlong next to him continued, "How is Hu Zongxian?"

"Hu Ruzhen?"

Hearing this name, Yan Shifan then touched his breath and said, "Yes, this is the person, but how do we transfer Zhang Xinzhi back?"

"There is a riot in Lingnan. It has been reported in the past few days. Why not take this opportunity to transfer them away?"

Looking at Yan Shifan, many people began to offer suggestions.
Because if Kyushu Island really has so much profit, how could they let it go? Isn't this obviously giving away money?
Hearing what everyone said, Yan Shifan's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, let's do it!"

On the second day, when the memorials were delivered to the Western Garden, Jiajing, who was cultivating himself, began to feel unhappy.

Because he had just received the silver, why did these ministers start to make trouble right after that?

However, thinking about the situation in the court, Jiajing couldn't help but squint his eyes and said, "It seems that my ministers are very jealous!"

"Your Majesty, these are just clowns!"

Looking at Jiajing in front of him, Jia Jingzhong hurriedly explained,
Hearing this, Jiajing sneered and said, "Let Yan Song come over!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After taking his leave, Jia Jingzhong immediately sent someone to call Yan Song.

Soon, when the "wild boy" Yan Song came over, he immediately saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I am Yan Song, here to see you!"

"Would you like to get up?"

Raising his hand, Jiajing walked in all directions and said, "Today's morning court is quite noisy!"

“Your Majesty, I believe that this is all due to our ancestral teachings. After all, Taizu once said, ‘A country should not be conquered!

Looking at Jiajing in front of him, Yan Song had no choice but to come up with this reason to explain.

"Oh, the Unconquered Country?"

Looking at Yan Song with a smile on his face, Jiajing immediately said, "Have you forgotten the grievances that the people of Jiangnan in our Ming Dynasty have suffered in recent years?"

"I dare not forget!"

He kowtowed immediately, and Yan Song was frightened.
Because Jiajing had never spoken so sharply before.

"This silver belongs to me. You'd better make it clear to the people below. If anyone submits a petition again, don't blame me for being rude. Got it? Lord Yan!"

Looking at Yan Song in front of him, Jiajing was also very angry.
When he ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty was extremely poor. After spending more than ten years to pacify the imperial court, Japanese pirates appeared in the south of the Yangtze River. Before the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was resolved, the Tartars in the north began to invade the border again.

If Zhang Cheng had not raised his hand to send the Tartars away and went south to suppress the bandits, Jiajing would never have known in his life that money was so easy to make!

What a concept it is to be able to earn 15 million taels of silver just by sitting there for a year! This is almost as much as the annual grain income of the Ming Dynasty!
You know, the potential of the Ming Dynasty is 250 million taels of silver!

However, these are all "normal" taxes, but no one has ever done it!

During the Jiajing period, how much was the annual income? About 20 million taels of grain and 4 million taels of silver!
Zhang Cheng had to add up this number to get the real situation. It was more expenses than income!
Why did Jiajing need Yan Song? It was because Yan Song could make money! But what Jiajing didn't expect was that in Yan Shifan's mind, he had to take the lion's share!
He only dared to give Jiajing 100 taels of the 2 million silver dollars in salt tax, and the emperor even thanked him.

Just look at what Yan Shifan did. Is he qualified to go to the vegetable market and play Match 4?
If it weren’t for Jiajing’s consideration for Yan Song’s “dedication and diligence” in his work, his entire family would probably have died!
Jiajing: I'm actually holding the small head?

Zhang Cheng: It’s good enough to get something. Don’t you know that we only get a small amount when the property is confiscated?

Ji Gang:.
When Yan Shifan saw his father after walking out of the West Garden, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Father, how is it?"

"Don't mention this matter again!"

Warning Yan Shifan, Yan Song couldn't help but become serious.
"Don't mention it? That's tens of millions of taels of silver. How much can it do for our Ming Dynasty!"

Looking at Yan Song in front of him, Yan Shifan couldn't help but explain,

Looking at Yan Shifan, the left vice minister of the Ministry of Works, Zhang Juzheng chuckled and said, "It seems that the young minister can't wait to build our Ming Dynasty!"

"What are you doing? What does this have to do with your Ministry of Rites? If you make the war in the north go wrong, there will be no money for the war, and Lingnan will be unable to suppress the rebellion. The Ming Dynasty will fall, and I will just risk my life for you!"

Looking at Zhang Juzheng, Yan Shifan also started to criticize him.
After hearing Yan Shifan's words, Zhang Juzheng sneered: "It seems that the young cabinet minister thinks he is the prime minister! Do you want to shoulder the responsibility of the two capitals and thirteen provinces?"

"you!"

Looking at Zhang Juzheng, Yan Shifan was about to say something, but Yan Song beside him quickly stopped him.

"Okay, let's do it!"

Looking at Zhang Juzheng, Yan Song suddenly discovered that since he became the Minister of Rites, he had inexplicably become more confident.
You know, Xu Jie has already stepped down because of his son's affairs!

Who is the backer behind Zhang Juzheng? Could it be His Majesty?

When Yan Song was suspicious, Yan Shifan also felt something was wrong.
Because in the past, even Xu Jie didn't dare to offend him, so why did Zhang Juzheng dare to confront him head-on?

Zhang Juzheng: Guess!

Zhang Cheng: Lao Zhang, get him!
Kyushu, somewhere in the wilderness,
The assembled Ming army was beginning to converge under the beating of drums.
"Boom boom boom!"

The drums of war resounded through the sky, and the Ming army roared forward.

Looking at the Japanese pirates who were like small fish not far away, Shen Lian turned his head and said, "Master Zhang, 4,000 against 30,000, is that too much?"

"You're being too kind, it should be two thousand!"

Zhang Cheng spoke rather uncomfortably, and then said, "Ding Xiu, take some people to block the gap later. If anyone escapes, kill them!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Ding Xiu hurried down.

"No, Master Zhang, I mean, are you underestimating the enemy?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng awkwardly, Shen Lian immediately yelled,
"Underestimating the enemy? That requires an enemy! These short guys can't even hit my knees when they jump."

Pulling out the saber beside him, Zhang Cheng rode forward, then came to the front of the battle array and roared: "The Ming army is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty, the Ming army is mighty!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the Ming army, which had been completely inspired to fight, roared in anger.

"kill!"

Raising his saber, Zhang Cheng immediately rode forward.
Looking at the Ming army in front of them, the daimyo who had united were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.
Because they never expected that the Ming army was so terrifying!

Four thousand people against thirty thousand, and they even dared to charge head-on. Are they monsters?
Just as a warrior was thinking about it, he saw a "giant" riding a horse, and tore it apart with a backhand knife.
Looking at the blood spilling all over the sky, the farmers who followed behind were completely devastated, because this was actually a hammer!
