Eight hundred and twentieth seventh chapter expenses
While Zhang Han received the Tang report, news of Mobei’s surrender had spread throughout Qingcheng.?
Everyone was shocked, even those inside Yusheng did not expect that this would go so smoothly.
Recently, the military command has been mobilizing troops and horses. The main force of the Lancer Regiment is already preparing to go north. Three thousand iron cavalry can break through the entire northern desert. However, if the enemy hides on the vast grassland, the logistics of thousands of people is not as simple as hundreds of people raiding and looting. Just carrying food, you must make corresponding preparations in advance. The cost of war will be very high, but that is also the price that should be prepared and paid.
As soon as this happened, the one who felt most relieved was the military department.
Liu Peng, deputy chief officer of the Military Control Commission, smiled at Li Shenming and said, "This is good, there is no need to see Tian Jitang's black face."
Tian Jitang's black face is probably a well-known scenery in Yushengli, and even Sun Jingting is afraid to see it.
The bigger the Heyusheng's stall, the more expenses it will be. The fixed monthly income has increased to 300,000 taels, but the two months of the operation are still not enough to make ends meet. Of course, Tian Jitang's face will be as dark as it will be.
"The production of copper mines has increased recently, and the monthly income is estimated to reach 400,000, which is about the same as the expenses." Li Shenming said casually: "In addition, I have gained a lot recently, so there is no need to worry too much within one or two months."
Liu Peng looked worried: "But the copper mine is easy to mine, it will probably only last for two or three months."
The easy-to-mine areas for copper mines are relatively large. The progress of domestic copper mine mining technology will be until the middle of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the copper mine mining volume in Yunnan increased greatly, and the severe copper shortage was alleviated. The output of copper mines in the Ming Dynasty is not large. On the one hand, it is because they all need to operate in deep mines and are not easy to mine. On the other hand, the government does not attach much importance to mining, and does not usually expand the mining area and use more manual mining. For example, in the Song Dynasty, there was also a shortage of copper, but the Song Dynasty courts regarded mining as a top priority, so the lack of copper in the Song Dynasty was not as powerful as that of the Ming Dynasty.
The dividends of the copper mine area now support He Yusheng's war, trade, logistics and accounting business in the north, plus the smuggling route to the Later Jin Dynasty, the monthly income of the copper mine is 300,000 taels per month, and the monthly income of the copper mine is 100,000 taels of silver. Now He Yusheng's monthly income is the same as the income of the Ming Dynasty before the increase of the tax, and it is even slightly out.
However, the expenditure was also amazingly large. In June, the wartime expenses exceeded 600,000 taels in one month, which was because the war ended in a short period of time, and the considerable expenses were paid last year... The peak period of construction of the military fort pier was last year, and more than 2 million silver was spent on this.
So far, He Yusheng spent 3 million taels of money on the construction of forts and land reclamation in the grassland war, which was more than 80% of the net income last year.
It can be said that without the huge profits of the Donglu smuggling route, the current Heyusheng cannot be completely supported by iron tools, accounting and logistics revenue alone.
This cost is relatively very saving. The three major battles of the Wanli Dynasty, which were not long ago, cost more than 2 million silver for only one Ningxia battle. The Ming court only mobilized various troops to besiege a city. The battle of Bozhou cost three million. The most expensive ones, the battle of the Japanese aid to the Renchen riots, which used troops twice in the first and last, cost more than 8 million silver!
This is completely astronomical, and there is definitely no lack of water. When the Ming army entered the court, the soldiers and horses were mainly Liaozhen cavalry. The absolute main force was the cavalry of the Li family and Qi Jiguang's Zhejiang soldiers. Most of them were transferred from Liaozhen and Jizhen. Xuanda and other places were just a false story and did not transfer too many soldiers and horses.
When the army entered the North Korea, it not only had the Taicang silver and the treasury silver allocated, but also the local deposited silver and allocated grain. The military ration expenditure in Liaozhen and Jizhen was hundreds of thousands of stones, and tens of millions of kilograms of grain were transported to North Korea through local areas. In fact, at the beginning of the entry of the North, the army's grain was supplied by the Koreans. Later, it felt that the Koreans were powerless. On the one hand, the local area was poor and the people were dispersed. On the other hand, the officials had very low abilities and could not do anything well.
The three major strifes used more than 10 million silver, and the court took out the silver for free. The main reason was that Zhang Juzheng had built up his ten-year rule. When the Donglu was in power, the Liao Dynasty could run away in the Taicang warehouse. Emperor Wanli immediately decided to increase the tax and collect Liao tribute.
Therefore, everyone knows that financial issues are very important, and there is no place for Heyusheng to increase the Liao salary.
"By the end of this year, it will probably be more than three million when reporting the accounts." Li Shenming clamped his finger and said, "There are many water conservancy projects in the next step, all of which are counted on the military account, as well as restoring the Mobei Trading Road and building a large trade location in Mobei. These are all things that cost money like flowing water."
After Li Shenming finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "Look, I'll have a headache in the Financial Bureau in the future."
Everyone laughed for a moment.
Although it wasn't easy to talk about this topic, no one was in a heavy heart.
With such a large territory, there are dozens of Datong Prefectures in Guihua City alone. If you get it again in Mobei, it will be more than a dozen large territory in Shanxi Province, which is equivalent to most of the north of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if the land is large and the population is sparse, you can still manage it well. People will not have any objections to spending money on it. Everyone has the same idea, and they have to bear the difficulties.
Of course, Tian Jitang, who is in charge of finance, will have a headache and his face will be even darker, but after all, that is Tian Hei-faced, so he will get the headache.
"After the copper mine," Liu Peng said: "I'm afraid the south can send some money to come, and at least make up for it."
So far, Taiwan has used 1.3 million silver, and has not seen any results. I heard that it is still in Bengang and a nearby area of more than ten miles. People are not very satisfied with this. The Fourth Regiment has all arrived in Taiwan, and it seems that there is no decent achievements.
An official suddenly said: "I'm afraid it's difficult. By the end of the year, there will definitely be a large number of reimbursements in Taiwan. It would be fine if you don't ask Li Zhuang to reach out."
Another person said: "There are only a few thousand red-haired and powerful people in Taiwan. How can it be more difficult to fight than the Mongolians?"
"The 100,000 Beilu are not our opponents, and Taiwan is still a little bit of a bad idea."
"Okay." Li Shenming said with some displeasure: "Why have you learned to chew my wife's tongue now? If you are so idle, you might as well find something to do."
Everyone did not say too much. After all, Chang Wei was in charge of the overall situation in Taiwan. He added the title of Deputy Director of the Military Order and Taiwan Marine Branch. With these titles, Chang Wei was in charge of all military, political and business affairs in Taiwan. Even if Chang Wei did not have the identity of Zhang Han's cousin, he was still a senior official with a long time to follow. He was a confidant. Moreover, there was Chang Ning, an inner house, who was a serious foreign relative.
Li Shenming didn't care about Chang Wei's identity. His identities with Sun Jingting, Kong Minxing and others are very stable. He has his own unique position in the Heyusheng system. Moreover, over the past few years, power and prestige have accumulated to a certain extent. It is nothing great for the people below to talk about it.
Li Shenming chased everyone away, which was more important.
A moment later, a man in his ordinary appearance in his thirties rushed over, bowed and sat opposite Li Shenming.
"Wang Yong, you are also the official of the Internal Information Department." Li Shenming said: "There is no need to treat me like this."
"When Mr. He came to Heyusheng, we paid homage like this." Wang Yong said casually: "My respect for Mr. is not an official position, but from the heart."
"Very good." Li Shenming said: "But I call you here not to talk about personal friendship, but to talk about business."
Wang Yong smiled slightly and bowed without saying a word.
"He Yusheng set up branches everywhere, and the directors of the branch preside over the daily affairs, report important matters to the superiors, and then report emergency matters by themselves. On the grassland, because they are still fighting, they have established the marching department like Taiwan. In addition to the lack of attendant department, each department has branch departments. When things happen, they are the head of the marching department. At present, Mr. Sun and Mr. Li and I can execute the documents after the three of us make decisions. Do you know this?"
Wang Yong replied: "I know this matter. This is what the adults mean. In the future, it may be divided into officers such as the Naturalized Marine Department, Shangyi Marine Fort and Yunnei Marine Department. The adults said that we cannot just consider the military war, but also consider the matters after the war. We must prepare the military personnel in advance and start cleaning up after the war, so as to avoid the chaos for a long time."
Li Shenming smiled and said, "This is just because he is lazy. If there is no marching department, he will still report all military affairs to Wen Lan every day. It is also very tiring to sign and draw circles. The marching department has more decision-making power in daily affairs, which is much better than reporting to the center in everything."
Wang Yong thought for a while and said, "Sir, since he said this, I guess he has something to give me?"
"By the way!" Li Shenming said: "There is something that the three of us have discussed and signed it. It's hard for adults to do for a while, so let's take the initiative to do it for him."
...
When the Tangma passed through Qingcheng, Xi Lingse saw it very clearly. After all, the residence arranged for him was not far from the original palace group, and the crowd entering and leaving the palace gate could not hide the movements of life every day.
Every day, special people ask for news for Xi Lingse. Of course, what Xi Lingse is most concerned about is the news about Zhang Han and Omu Buhong.
A slave said to Xi Lingse: "It's true that it's news from Mobei, saying that it's a swearing to kill the White Horse."
Everyone looked at each other, and everyone held a glimmer of hope. If the Mongolian tribes were not convinced and encouraged some tribes that supported Xi Lingse to create a man-made momentum, it is very likely that Yumubuhong could not succeed in the throne, and Xi Lingse would have the opportunity to regain power.
As a result, Mobei surrendered so much!
Xi Lingse's expression was very ugly, and he felt that his last chance would slip away from his hands.
"Jinong," said one of the kinsmen: "We can't sit and wait for death."
Another person said: "You still have to return to your own station and prepare for war!"
Not many people support these two people. With the power of Tumot's entire tribe, it is not an opponent of Yusheng, let alone Xi Lingse himself slapping?
