C1630 Long live the Imperial Party. (1/2)
”Good question!” Let me ask you first, how will the imperial government deal with us? ” The Hun Chun asked.
”Could it be that they will directly send an army to attack us? Is this a joke? Right now, the empire is using troops in Xinjiang, the Han Manipulation is occupying the south of the river, and Beijing's new army has not been successful in their training.
”Besides, the imperial government still needs face. They definitely won't send troops unless they have the guts to cripple His Majesty! ”That's obviously impossible …”
”If we can't use force, then we can only use a communication device. It's definitely impossible to use it to lure the tiger out of the mountain, so the rest can only be paid back to us …”
”Perhaps after this news spreads to the capital, we, Jilin, and Heilongjiang will not receive a single grain of rice and a single copper coin from the imperial government within three years …”
”AHH!” How could this work? The total number of soldiers and defenders from the two provinces is over six hundred thousand. Without money and food, you should just starve to death! ” The crowd immediately became noisy.
”Shut up!” Could it be that His Majesty will ignore you? ” Sister Wu was so angry that he started shouting. Time was of the essence, these bastards only knew how to waste their time on side issues.
The Sister Wu took over and said, ”The Emperor and the Prime Minister that you are worried about have already thought about for you. The taxes of the Black Dragon River and Jilin provinces can basically cover half of the army's rations, and the other half can be raised through trade …”
”Now that the Haishenwai has been captured by the Bravehearts, the war in the future will be consolidated. As long as we can protect this batch of Cossack cavalry, they will become a normal port to be used …”
”There are plenty of good treasures outside the gate. Even the giant wood in the old forest would be taken out for money! With the huge Chinese caravan, you still have no food to eat? Ginseng, medicine, animal skin, wood, gold, minerals … Do you guys have anything you want? ”
Some of the people in the crowd mumbled, ”That's not right. That must be wrong!” Even if Heilongjiang and Jilin Province had been left with all their taxes, at most, they would only be able to solve the 30% shortage of food and taxes. How could they possibly solve half of the problem? ”
The crowd suddenly became restless: ”That's right, we have lived for most of our lives, how much tax can we collect? Our hearts are as clear as a mirror, half of it definitely can't be solved!” Are you forcing us to scrape the ground? To rob the people? ”
Hun Chun was also a little confused. He knew about this plan but she had never calculated the actual ratio before. He also looked at Hidden Fog Kid with a puzzled expression.
”Lord Fog, it's bitter outside! ”I really can't solve so many problems …”
”Haargh!” Sister Wu was so angry that her stomach almost exploded, thinking to himself, can you guys still be considered officials? It's better to be a accountant than a gentleman.
”Eight!” ”You all simply made me collapse …” Sister Wu was so angry that she scratched her head a few times.
”Which one of you ever went overseas?” Everyone shook their heads.
”Which one of you has done business with a merchant?” Everyone shook their heads.
”Do any of you know what Nan Yang looks like?” Everyone still shook their heads.
”Then have you guys been to Erguang? Guangdong and Guangxi? ” Unfortunately, these people shook their heads.
