Golden autumn in October.

The fields are full of golden colors, the sun is warm and quiet, the breeze is gentle, and the blue sky and white clouds are flowing.

This is a season of harvest, with golden, fiery red, emerald green... hope!

The war ended in negotiations, but almost everyone was delighted and won!

That's right, it's really a win!

The people were delighted that the Tartars had to pay more than 10 million taels of compensation. If they had not won, what would they do to lose money? They didn't care about this huge compensation. No, to be precise, it should be a ransom. They could not enjoy it at all, but they were honored.

Many times, pride can inspire the enthusiasm of the people.

The people were delighted that the United Fleet of the Foreign Circle was under the artillery fire of the three major navy soldiers. If they had not won, where did the dozens of five-story-high warships with cloudy masts come from in Hangzhou and Wusong Port? This obviously does not include hundreds of small and medium-sized warships.

The officials were also happy, but they had owed three months of salary, and they thought they could pay it.

The officials were even more happy. The recovery of Yangzhou and Huai'an Prefecture... the official positions must be much higher. Do you have to be promoted?

The soldiers were also happy and victorious, so that they could get more rewards and promotions from the General's Mansion. This is not the most important thing. What is important is that if you win, we will win.

Everyone's joy covered up the grief that should have. The casualties of more than 20,000 people almost made many prefectures and counties filial.

But the funeral was a happy event. At this moment, I am afraid no one felt it was worth it, even the old and young people who hated Wu Zheng and committed "great rebellion".

This is the victory of the people of Jiangnan and the victory of the Han people in the world. There is no doubt about this.

Members of the Ming Society organized various celebration ceremonies in various counties, such as club opera, dragon boat, etc.

The students of the three major colleges deliberately stopped for three days. They sang the hard-won victory in the way they were best at - parades, all day long, and parades one after another. This method caused an unexpected consequence. This year, the new population under the General's Mansion set a record for five years, which was ridiculous.

However, there are always some people who can't be happy.

It’s like not obsessed with it, like... Wu Zheng.

"I am incompetent, please choose another talent!" Mo Zhengnian, who is aging, complained to Wu Zheng in an indignant tone because Wu Zheng wanted to intercept the first ransom from the Qing court.

"No court can owe such a huge debt without reflecting on himself!" Mo Zhengian's face was even more crowded at this time. "Although the General's Mansion is not the imperial court, the opening of the Mansion is like an autonomous government. The prince... can't indulge it anymore. Let the people, let the colleagues of the General's Mansion, let the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army take a breath, let the Finance Department, let the old man... take a breath too!"

Looking at Mo Zhongnian with a serious face and a heavy tone, Wu Zheng wanted to laugh in his heart, but he couldn't laugh.

In this battle, the first and then the second were loose, and the speed was fast and then slow, so that many people, materials and money that had begun to be requisitioned or had been requisitioned suddenly lost their direction. The newly recruits who had been registered were quickly dismissed, and the materials that had been requisitioned were returned to the original owner. The loss of manpower and material resources caused by these has become a huge deficit.

Mo Zhinian was like holding his breath, then punched him hard, but found that there was no target, and it was just a ball of air.

Depressed enough, and there is reason to complain.

Of course, this does not constitute a reason for him to really complain to Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng wanted to repay the countries. The two major ports requisitioned by the General's Mansion were hoarded. This was not a decimal. Mo Zhongnian calculated it roughly, and it involved no less than three million taels of 3 million taels.

The first batch of ransoms in the Qing Dynasty was less than four million taels, which means that the lid was not big enough to reveal its butt.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. It is better to have it than not.

The main reason why Mo Zhinian finally complained in front of Wu Zheng was that Wu Zheng actually wanted to intercept the ransom and set up an unheard of scientific research institute, but it would be the one who belonged to Wu Zheng Zhili.

Mo Zhinian really doesn’t understand what the research institute is, and it will take up 3.8 million taels of ransom?

Gold is the pillar, silver is the road, is it inlaid with diamonds and jade?

Of course, it is understandable that Moonian can understand. If you win, everyone is celebrating. As His Highness, it is reasonable to spend some money and improve your life. But the question is, what is the meme of raising a high salary? I have heard of raising a high salary and raising a low salary, but I have never heard of raising a high salary. What kind of raising a high salary is this sage? Is this sergeant worth a monthly salary of 100 to 300 taels?

I’m afraid I can’t use so much to eat gold and drink silver every day, right?

Mo Zunnian raised his hand and wiped his tears. It was really tears. "I am favored by the prince and promoted to the position of the current Financial Secretary with white clothes. Although he has no rank, he trusted me and appointed me to the economic power of more than ten palaces... For five years, I have been conscientious and walking on thin ice... In order to assist the prince in one day to restore my land and revitalize the mountains and rivers, I dare not slack off for one day... But the prince must know that even the harder iron will be broken... The prince needs to spend money, but I cannot stop it, and I dare not stop it. The entire general's mansion is the prince's property... But I have to take a breath, right? The 110,000 army has crossed north, adding 86,000 new recruits, and more than 20,000 people have not yet been repatriated...arms, equipment, food, civil servants, no need for money..."

A handful of tears, two sighs, countless grievances!

Wu Zheng listened quietly, not stopping him.

Many times, it is better to listen than to persuade.

If you let someone speak, don't interrupt him, this is true respect.

"With Mo Lao's intention, how should this ransom be distributed?" After Mo Zheng finished "confessing blood and tears", Wu Zheng knew that he had to make some concessions.

Mo Zhinian looked at Wu Zheng and said with tears in his eyes: "The rewards from soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army are the most important thing. Please fill in the pit with the silver first."

Wu Zheng frowned slightly and said, "It shouldn't be necessary so much, right?"

Mo Zhengan shook, waved his dry hand, and said with his fingers: "The pensions for more than 20,000 casualties are no less than a million... The rewards for the 100,000 troops are rewarded according to merit. The prince doesn't think it will be harsh, otherwise, the prince will blame the old iron rooster again... In this way, at least two million taels."

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows, "It's... the remaining one.8 million taels belong to me."

"Huh——." Mo Zhennian said a long eh, "I haven't counted the money borrowed from the credit in the expansion of Songjiang Military Workshop in the past three months... and the railway is a gold-swalking beast... and there is..."

Wu Zheng interrupted impatiently: "Tell me the total number."

Mo Zhinian twitched his fingers for a while, looked up at Wu Zheng seriously and said, "Reply to the prince, it takes more than 3.7 million taels to relieve the Financial Secretary's temporary embarrassment!"
Chapter completed!
