Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Qitian Banner Property
Those who entertain people with sex will lose love and love!
Beauty may continue to diminish due to the erosion of time. Even the most beautiful woman will lose her beauty as she gets older.

But the craftsmanship doesn’t work!
Not only will it not happen, but the craftsmanship will even become more refined with the passage of time and constant practice.

Huang Yingying obviously understands this truth.

When Zhu Jing'an heard this, he laughed.

"Very good, very good!"

"It would be a great pleasure in life to be able to drink such delicious fish soup every day."

Huang Yingying stretched out her slender hands, picked up another chopstick for Zhu Jing'an's ribs, and said with a smile.

"Grand Governor, try this again, I know more than just how to make fish soup~"

Seeing this, Zhu Jing'an was not polite and opened his mouth to accept Huang Yingying's feeding.

Just when Zhu Jing'an and his new favorite concubine were enjoying lunch together.

The secretary beside him, Zhang Jin, came over from outside with a report in his hand.

"Grand Governor, our army has completed the clearing of flag fields in Guangzhou City."

"This is a detailed report!"

As he spoke, he presented the report to Zhu Jing'an with both hands.

Zhu Jing'an was not polite, reached out to take the report, and started to read it.

According to statistics, the output of flag fields near Guangzhou Prefecture is roughly 310 million acres of paddy fields and 140 million acres of dry fields.

The total is 450 million acres!

The first time he saw this data, Zhu Jing'an actually couldn't believe it.

Because he did not expect that the Eight Banners would occupy so much land in Guangzhou alone.

What you need to know is that the total number of acres of land in Guangzhou during the Qing Dynasty was only around 1000 million acres.

But now, the bannermen alone account for a little more than four-tenths of them.

Coupled with the annexation of gentry and landowners.

One can only imagine how many homesteaders there are in Guangzhou now!
One can imagine how acute the contradiction between man and land is in Guangzhou now!
It’s no wonder that most people in Guangzhou joined the Tiandihui newspaper group to keep warm, and the anti-Qing sentiment was so high.

This is because Guangzhou was the only outlet to the sea in South China in this era, and maritime trade was so developed that it promoted the development of industry and commerce.

Let there be many labor positions in Guangzhou, which can accommodate so many farmers with little land.

Otherwise, the people in Guangzhou would probably be in dire straits for a long time!
However, this is not all, because in addition to these flag fields, the Eight Banners in Guangzhou also have a large number of flag properties.

Including shops, gardens, gold and silver jewelry, rare jewelry, antiques and cultural relics inside and outside Guangzhou, and even hidden debt stocks held in Thirteenth Bank and other commercial banks...

In total, even excluding the real estate, the remaining gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and antiques are worth more than [-] million taels.

If you include real estate such as shops and gardens, the value would be over [-] million.

"Mad, these dog Tartars are so greedy!"

"I'm afraid the entire Guangzhou Prefecture will be looted by the Tatars, right?"

Zhu Jing'an couldn't help but curse.

"It is said that the Thirteenth Group is rich and powerful. Haha, if I tell you, the Eight Banners of Guangzhou are no less generous."

"It's just a pain to my people!"

Zhu Jing'an was really amazed.

Originally, he was worried that Ming Dynasty did not have enough money and land to reward the army.

Now it seems that he really worried too much!

With these flag fields seized from the Eight Banners in Guangzhou, Ming Dynasty directly made a wave of fertility.

This is equivalent to the Guangzhou Eight Banners exhausting their efforts in Guangzhou Prefecture, scraping the oil and water from the land for more than a hundred years, and directly making a wedding dress for the Ming Dynasty.

Daming didn’t just gain weight all of a sudden!

Zhu Jing'an said as if sighing.

"Send the order and order people to include those who are deeply resented by the people among the Eight Banners in Guangzhou when organizing a public trial."

"All crimes will be dealt with by adding one level to the punishment!"

Zhu Jing'an's intention was very clear. He wanted to use the Eight Banners to give an explanation to the people of Guangzhou.

Let the people of Guangzhou who were robbed of their wealth by the Eight Banners breathe a sigh of relief!

As for wealth...

Haha, of course it’s Gui Daming!
Otherwise, if so many soldiers of the Ming Army had their heads tucked into their belts and followed Zhu Jing'an all the way from Guangxi to Guangdong, wouldn't their efforts have been in vain?
Zhu Jing'an still had some concerns when it came to attacking the landlords and gentry at the public trial.

The instructions to the people below are just to deal with a few thorns.

But with the Eight Banners, Zhu Jing'an had no worries.

Kill if you can!

The landlords and gentry were of great united front value to the Ming Dynasty and needed to be won over.

But the Eight Banners...

Are you going to win over the Eight Banners to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?

Stop being funny!

The two sides have different positions, so there is no need to draw them together!

Zhang Jin nodded to express his understanding, and then continued.

"To the Grand Governor, I have something to report to the Grand Governor."

Zhu Jing'an nodded slightly and said.

"Speak!"

Zhang Jin spoke.

"When I get back to the Grand Governor, here's what happened. The Thirteenth Bank asked someone to send a message and asked to see the Grand Governor."

"For this reason, they are willing to donate 500 million taels of silver to our Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jing'an was shocked again.

"How much? Are you sure you're right?"

500 taels...

Even though Zhu Jing'an had just been shocked by the amount of flag fields produced by the Eight Banners in Guangzhou, he was still a little stunned after seeing Thirteen Lines' generosity.

There are so many big dog owners in Guangzhou these days!

Hearing this, Zhang Jin nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, 500 million taels, just to see you."

Hearing this, Zhu Jing'an chuckled.

"You can't believe that I am so valuable now. They gave me 500 million for just one visit. They are so generous."

"That's all, then bring the thirteen members of the guild to see the governor."

The reason why Zhu Jing'an sent people to block the Thirteenth Line was that he was afraid that people would escape, and the other was for psychological games.

To put it bluntly, before giving it to Tianzao, give him a big stick to establish his authority.

And now, the Thirteenth Line is willing to donate 500 million military supplies just to meet Zhu Jing'an, which shows that the Thirteenth Line is ready to make concessions to the Ming Dynasty.

In this case, Zhu Jing'an is no longer prepared to hang them up.

Stop scaring people out!

Zhang Jin nodded to express his understanding, then turned and left to arrange for Zhu Jing'an to meet with the representatives of the Thirteenth Group.

After Zhang Jin left, Huang Yingying next to Zhu Jing'an spoke sweetly.

"Grand Governor, didn't you agree to let my father take the place of Thirteenth Line?"

Huang Yingying was sent to Zhu Jing'an by Huang Quan. What she wanted was to have one of her own by Zhu Jing'an's side.

Can speak to him at the critical moment!

And Huang Yingying is also immature. She is still young and does not know how to change things and does not understand the necessity of leaving room for each other.

Speak directly to Zhu Jing'an in a questioning tone.However, Zhu Jing'an has always had a good temper, especially when facing his own woman.

He didn't take Huang Yingying's disrespect to heart, he just laughed.

"The governor is interested in letting your father be the general merchant of Thirteen Banks, rather than completely replacing Thirteen Banks."

"If there were no Thirteen Lines, then our Ming Dynasty's external exchanges would be completely interrupted."

"Until Ming Dynasty cultivates a sufficient number of talents who are proficient in the foreign language and the foreign business order, the existence of the Thirteen Lines is necessary."

I really follow that sentence, I am not afraid that you will make mistakes, I am afraid that you will be useless.

As long as you still have the value of your own existence, naturally no one will be willing to kill you.

For Zhu Jing'an, since the Thirteen Lines are still useful, they are safe.

Even if the Manchus come back in the future, as long as the Thirteen Lines are still useful, there is no need to worry about being liquidated.

In the eyes of a mature ruler, the most important thing is profit!

Huang Yingying heard the words and nodded in understanding.

"Oh, that's it, it's my concubine Meng Lang!"

Zhu Jing'an nodded slightly, kissed Huang Yingying's head, and then said warmly.

"It's okay, let's continue eating!"

If you don't do it as a dog licker, you won't be a dog licker, but a domestic violence man is even more undesirable.

Men who only show off their authority in front of their women are the most useless.

As long as the bottom line is not involved, Zhu Jing'an is very tolerant of his women.

Small offenses in daily life are not taken to his heart.

……

Outside the city of Guangzhou, the Ming army camped.

After the daily drills, the Ming army soldiers dispersed on the spot and then lined up to have dinner.

Ye Shaoyou stretched out, feeling the soreness all over his body after practicing for a long time, and couldn't help but grin.

After the Ming army captured Guangzhou, although Zhu Jing'an ordered the army to repair.

But trimming is trimming, but the practice never stops.

It just changed from doing two exercises a day to one exercise a day.

One fuck for two hours.

Occasionally I would be pulled out for extra training at night to adapt to night fighting.

But even so, the intensity of this training is second to none in the world in this era.

If the Ming Dynasty hadn't allocated fields to soldiers, they would have received generous military pay and often received rewards.

In addition, the food in the army is good enough. Not only is the staple food tube full, but also meat can be eaten every three to five days.

I’m afraid there aren’t many people who can persevere!

After the drill, Ye Shaoyou ran to the creek next to the military camp and washed his face before lining up for dinner.

By the time he got the bowls and chopsticks and started to line up, the line was already quite far away.

Seeing this, Ye Shaoyou could only rub his hungry belly while queuing up behind everyone.

"Have you heard? This time the imperial court confiscated the property of the bannermen in Guangzhou City, and confiscated millions of acres of fertile land."

"Good guy, are there really so many? These dog Tatars are so damn greedy. The people of Guangzhou have been plundered miserably."

"I also heard that the Grand Governor is planning to continue allocating fields to our brothers near Guangzhou Mansion. I don't know if it's true or not."

"..."

While Ye Shaoyou was queuing up, several Ming soldiers behind him were whispering to each other about farmland in Guangzhou.

Hearing this, Ye Shaoyou turned around and asked with great interest.

"Is this true or false? That's fertile land in Guangzhou!"

A short and stocky Ming soldier heard this and spoke with a very firm tone.

"It should be true!"

"My brother-in-law is currently working in the Grand Governor's personal barracks. He heard this with his own ears."

"When the Grand Governor led a team to inspect the flag fields outside Guangzhou City, he said that we brothers would allocate fields outside Guangzhou City."

Ye Shaoyou heard this, patted and said.

"Great, this is great!"

"I have seen that the fertile fields in Guangzhou Prefecture are much fertile than those in Guangxi. One acre of land can be harvested twice a year. I estimate it can produce at least four or five shi of white rice."

"The Commander-in-Chief is so kind to us big-headed soldiers. It's worth selling your life!"

The Ming soldier who just spoke continued.

"More than that!"

"I heard from my brother-in-law that the Grand Governor is planning to give all the female dependents of the Eight Banners family in Guangzhou to unmarried brothers as wives."

"I've heard that the female members of the Bannermen are all very good in appearance and figure, and they look very fertile. It would be a blessing to have one of the Bannermen women as my wife!"

The bannermen these days are a privileged class, and the female family members of the bannermen may not necessarily be very good-looking.

But having been pampered since childhood, their figures, skin, and clothing are definitely better than those ordinary Han women who don't even have enough to eat all year round.

In many cases, appearance is not only determined by genes, but also closely related to living conditions.

A woman from a family with a good living standard, a well-off family, and the ability to dress well without having to do heavy work will definitely not be much different in appearance.

Hearing this, everyone started talking about dividing the land and giving birth to a daughter-in-law.

Many people are excited and thinking that when they get the land and their daughter-in-law, they will have more children and live a life where their wives and children are on the hot bed.

Unknowingly, no one felt tired from the usual training.

……

At the same time, in the military camp of the Ming Dynasty forward camp separated by a wall, a discussion about dividing the fields was also going on.

"Have you heard? The Grand Governor is planning to allocate land to all of us in Guangfu!"

One of them surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in the Battle of Zhennanguan, and was then used as a forward battalion, and followed the army to fight in Deqingzhou, Zhaoqing, Sanshui, Guangzhou and other places.

The officer of the forward battalion, who had been promoted from an ordinary prisoner of war to a hundred-household officer, said.

A green camp soldier on the side who had only surrendered during the Battle of Sanshui heard this and said with some suspicion.

"Prince Wang, is this true?"

"Didn't it say that the Ming Dynasty only allocated fields to soldiers?"

Wang Yaozu glared at the recruit under his command and said angrily.

"Can you have some ambition!"

"You yourself look down on yourself, how can others look down on you?"

"Why are we not soldiers anymore? Didn't we fight for the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield?"

After Wang Yaozu said this, he just felt his shoulder being tapped, and then a warm voice came from behind him.

"well said!"

"People, you can have nothing, but you can never be without ambition!"

Wang Yaozu turned around subconsciously and saw Zhu Jing'an with a smile on his face.

Zhu Jing'an patted Wang Yaozu on the shoulder, gave him a warm smile, and then turned to the soldiers of the forward battalion under Wang Yaozu.

"Haha, the governor came to the camp today just to tell everyone good news!"

"The news you just said is true!"

"..."
