Chapter 136: Harvest and Grain Merchants, Yang He in Trouble
"Haha, I guess many people have already guessed it.
Thanks to the leader for taking a fancy to us, he granted me, Wu Laoliu, and Zhu Duanliang the status of technicians.
Let the three of us grant you the status of a craftsman's apprentice.
At that time, you can also go to the spiritual space and learn the related magical powers corresponding to the imprint."
"really?"
"Haha, of course it's true."
"Chief, we are grateful for your kindness."
"Chief, we are grateful for your kindness."
When they heard that they could also master supernatural powers, everyone immediately bowed and thanked Wang Chao in the direction of the Lintao government office where he worked.
However, he never claimed to be sick or took a day off.
However, the grain that should be harvested still needs to be harvested.
At the same time, with the coming and going of those merchants, superficial information about the Salvation Army began to spread gradually.
However, even though I was extremely exhausted, I still failed to eliminate the bandits.
Not to mention, as the members of the agricultural cooperative display their magical powers time and time again, their levels will surely increase rapidly and their abilities will become stronger and stronger.
Although no matter what the final result is, the spiritual power generated by the emotional fluctuations of the people will eventually be transformed by spiritual power.
You know, even in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, there are only two harvests a year, and there are not many places that can harvest three times a year.
After all, they didn't commit any crimes in the territory of the People's Salvation Army, and they were not civilians in the territory of the People's Salvation Army, so they naturally didn't bother to care.
After some time passed, Chongzhen rewarded him again and urged him to wipe out the Salvation Army.
However, no matter how Yang He wrote to beg, Chongzhen felt that Yang He was capable.
Faced with this situation, Lin Danhan hesitated and retreated.
Well, although all the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in the territory of the Salvation Army were severely cleaned out.
With the influx of a large number of grain merchants, the commercial development of the Salvation Army’s territory was also boosted.
All these things put Yang He under tremendous pressure, and he gradually could not hold on any longer.
Can't finish it, can't finish it at all.
For example, members of the agricultural cooperative have the ability to promote the growth of crops, so that the crops in the territory of the Salvation Army can be harvested three times a year.
This always sounds like a fairy tale.
However, that was because many of the disaster-stricken people in Shaanxi fled to the territory of the People's Salvation Army. Without this heavy burden, he was able to concentrate on suppressing the rebel army.
All of a sudden, the situation in Shaanxi improved greatly.
Who said that other places, especially those around Shaanxi, do not produce much grain?
Even though they had attacked the Ming Dynasty before, it was because they were forced to do so.
Similarly, Yang He, the current governor of the three borders, did not stop it.
As for the expenses of the Salvation Army.
The people need to pay 30% tax on the grain they grow.
However, in Shaanxi, which has been suffering from drought for years, the people in the territory of the Salvation Army have managed to harvest three crops a year.
Chongzhen sat behind the imperial desk with a gloomy face and sneered repeatedly.
It is true that even a good cook cannot cook without rice.
In addition to the tens of thousands of regular troops now, he will recruit another 100,000 new troops and recruit members of agricultural cooperatives on a large scale.
In other words, at this time, they will cling to any straw of hope.
After all, Yang He only appeased them, but did not give them enough food and money?
They can't starve to death, right?
However, they were all wiped out by the Salvation Army.
Seeing that there was no reply to his letter, Yang He, who was in despair, could only muster up his courage and continue to clear out and appease the rebels.
Some merchants might even sell it for four or five taels of silver, or even seven or eight taels of silver per stone.
Therefore, an order was issued that day, and the rescue army began to purchase grain at a price slightly lower than the normal market price, nine cents of silver for one stone of grain.
Although people in other regions can only buy grain at high prices, they always have more hope of survival after having enough food.
What the dynasty had to do was to recruit soldiers again and again.
The result was that every household had plenty of surplus food.
Of course, most people who received this information didn't really believe it.
After receiving the letter, Chongzhen was naturally very satisfied and issued several imperial decrees to commend him.
However, Chongzhen and the court officials did not believe it, but the people around them who were almost unable to survive did believe it.
The ministers below also laughed in disapproval. It sounded obvious that this was fake, okay?
Not to mention it’s a lot, it’s more than enough to support an army of hundreds of thousands for two or three years.
By next year, I'm afraid it will be another bumper year that will surpass this year's.
As long as they are in the territory of the People's Salvation Army and abide by the rules of the People's Salvation Army, it will be fine.
“Cook with care!”
As a last resort, he once again petitioned Chongzhen for help.
After doing this, the dynasty did not interfere again.
I consider myself an unlucky person. The sicker I get, the more worried I become, and the better I am, the sicker I become.
You see, in just over half a year, except for the Salvation Army that has been hiding, all the bandit troops in Shaanxi have been suppressed and pacified.
After receiving this news, many businessmen couldn't help but wail.
"Haha. Look, look, this people's salvation army is really destined to be here.
Outside the territory of the People's Salvation Army, there were continuous droughts, but inside the territory of the People's Salvation Army, there were bumper harvests, with three crops per year.
Master the magical power
hehe"
Therefore, Wang Chao decided to suppress these grain dealers.
"hehe."
It has nothing to do with them anyway.
If we count this year's three crops, it is basically equivalent to one season's harvest.
Due to the urgent military situation and worry about the strength of the enemy army, he could not eat all day.
Once they are trained, the Salvation Army can naturally expand again.
In this way, where there is demand, there will naturally be buying and selling.
Previously, he had sent many small-scale troops to try to attack the Salvation Army.
Therefore, he often turned a blind eye to the private looting by the rebels, as long as they did not raise the flag of rebellion.
The territory of the People's Salvation Army had closer ties with each other and was completely "resurrected".
On the other hand, when Lin Danhan learned that the Salvation Army had made a great harvest in its territory, he also became interested.
From the initial two or three taels of silver per stone, to the normal price of one tael of silver per stone, and then dropped to eight or five cents of silver per stone.
"I have been in office for more than three years, and not a single day has passed without danger and fear.
In this way, the food of the people in the Salvation Army’s territory can be sold at normal market prices, and those merchants can also make a profit.
That's just his personality.
Time passed slowly, and by September of the first year of Chongzhen, two rounds of harvests of grain crops had been completed in the territory of the Salvation Army.
All of a sudden, the situation of the peasant uprising army including Wang Jiayin became even more difficult.
Maybe they were captured too.
However, it is a fact that no one escaped back.
Why should we let you profiteers make huge profits from the crops grown by the people of our army who have saved the country?
He launched heavy attacks on the Mongolian tribes, conquering them east and west.
In an instant, those grain dealers were no longer interested.
If Your Majesty would have mercy on me and allow me to return home to recuperate, I would have my son Yang Sichang serve at the frontier to show my loyalty.
In addition, I recommend Hong Chengchou, a capable general who fights against bandits, to take over my post as the governor-general of the three borders."
Even the power generated by emotions such as curses and insults will still be assimilated by spiritual power and controlled by the dynasty.
At the same time, the dynasty began to collect a commercial tax of 10% on the outflow of grain, instead of the Ming Dynasty's 30% tax.
In other words, if grain merchants wanted to transport grain out of the territory of the Salvation Army, they would need to pay a commercial tax of one tenth, which is more than three times the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty.
What should we do? Of course, we can only sell food from outside, and when most people are selling food, the price of food will naturally drop.
At this moment, Yang He's heart sank. His request was not allowed.
Yang He also asked Chongzhen for pension money.
Feeling the spiritual power surging behind him, Wang Chao couldn't help but smile.
All of a sudden, a large number of people in Shaanxi began to flee to the territory of the Salvation Army.
And those grain merchants also have the need for food and drink.
What to do if you don’t have that much money?
Selling houses and land, and even becoming slaves.
As for not having money yet
Then just starve to death.
Involuntarily, many people began to sell the mansion of the People's Salvation Army officer.
All of a sudden, a large number of grain merchants poured into the territory of the Salvation Army.
Those who sell one stone of grain for two taels of silver or even three taels of silver are probably merchants who are not too unscrupulous.
Because the departure of these disaster-stricken people would be of great benefit to his efforts to suppress bandits.
But, doesn’t Yang He himself know what’s going on?
He did suppress the rebels.
Naturally, Chongzhen could not allow him to resign and return home.
In fact, food prices continue to fall.
However, the Salvation Army did not prohibit the entry of foreign merchants as long as they paid taxes normally.
I am afraid that most grain merchants, when they buy low-priced grain from the people of the Salvation Army and sell it elsewhere, will not sell it at normal market prices, but will take the opportunity to drive up the price of grain.
However, Chongzhen only replied with four words.
This can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
Wang Chao feels that in this time when natural disasters and man-made tragedies are constantly occurring.
In terms of the combat capability of the Salvation Army, by the time the Salvation Army expanded eastward, the overthrow of the Shaanxi region would be imminent.
Well, they were wiped out and not a single person escaped.
Without the disaster victims, the peasant uprisings in Shaanxi would naturally be curbed.
However, as long as the Salvation Army is not wiped out, the danger facing Shanxi will not be completely resolved.
Moreover, the rebels who were persuaded to surrender were not very stable, and private looting occurred from time to time.
Therefore, Yang He wrote to Chongzhen more than once, hoping to replace the governors of the three borders with Hong Chengchou, who had made many military achievements in the process of suppressing bandits and advocated killing the bandits.
However, being appreciated and blessed is ultimately more pleasant than being cursed and scolded.
Circles of faint golden light spread out, demonstrating a sense of sacred dominance and majesty.
All of a sudden, people began to surrender once again and began to accept the court's amnesty and appeasement.
In this regard, the dynasty naturally accepted all comers.
However, whether facing the Ming Dynasty or the Later Jin Dynasty, he seemed to be a little timid.
We already have three harvests a year now. I'm afraid that in two years, we will have four harvests a year or even one harvest a month.
The official Salvation Army purchased grain at nine cents of silver, and they paid one tael of silver.
However, after hearing the news, Wang Chao fell into deep thought.
It’s a pity that Chongzhen didn’t even give him 20,000 taels of silver.
Soon, soon.
Wang Chao couldn't help but look at the golden ball of light above his head again.
Gradually, business in the Salvation Army's territory began to prosper.
In addition, the extensive roads that the Salvation Army had been building made it possible for goods from all over the country to be exchanged.
It can be said that the People's Salvation Army no longer lacks food.
Day after day I couldn't eat, and even the thin porridge I drank felt like my throat was too narrow. It felt like there was a lump in my chest that wouldn't resolve.
What? Your army to save the people is the destiny of heaven, but our Ming Dynasty is rejected by heaven and earth?
Even if they buy it at the price of one tael of silver per stone, they can still make a lot of money elsewhere.
After all, people have some spare money in their hands, so they are naturally willing to buy some daily necessities.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was going to completely stop trade, which would cut off their livelihood. He could only attack the Ming Dynasty and plunder the daily necessities he needed.
However, once the Ming Dynasty reopened trade and gave a certain annual reward, he immediately stopped doing what he did and even helped the Ming Dynasty attack the Later Jin.
