There were internal troubles in the Ming Dynasty and powerful enemies outside, but this did not affect Zhu Yuanzhang's rhythm of beating up the two old bastards Huang Taiji and Kublai Khan. While preparing to deploy troops in the north, he ordered his great-grandson Zhu Zhanji to let him no matter what.

No matter what the cost, just chase them to the border of the Wei Kingdom and rescue them. If possible, they can also capture their Xun Yu, so there is no need to worry.

Wang Mang, who was still playing soy sauce in Yinzhou, received the latest news that the Ming Dynasty was going to war with the Yuan and Qing Dynasties. Xiang Yu had already stationed himself at the border of the Han Dynasty and formed a confrontation with the generals Zhou Yafu and Gao Shun in Chong'an County. Fan Zeng meant to let Liu Bang fight in person, so

The million-strong army behind Xiang Yu didn't show any dignity at all, and directly divided into two groups, threatening the two cities of Chong'an County and the neighboring city of Chongzuo County. If Liu Bang doesn't show his face, don't blame him for being ruthless.

"Your Majesty, if we continue like this, our country's strength will soon be restored to its original level. In this way, we can compete with Ying Zheng on the opposite side." Minister Wang Lin said happily after reading the latest battle report.

"It's not enough. If we subdue all the horse bandit forces and ruthless bandits in the country, it will only be enough for half of the country's military strength. The country's current population is only three million people, and its young and strong men are only one million. So we have to really

In a sense, if you have to fight the other party forcefully, you can't even think about fighting them in a short period of time." Wang Mang sat on the throne, looking at the rolling yellow sand and strong wind outside the palace gate. This place reminded him of Ma Yuan's time.

In this way, he fought battle after battle with the Qiang people and won countless honors.

It makes sense for Wang Mang to say this, because he and Liu Xiu made serious mistakes in the policies of the Green Forest Army and the Chung Ling Army, which caused everyone in the court to panic and turn away from him. The people also because of Wang Mang's strict policies and regulations

He left his hometown and fled to Liu Xiu's control area to serve him. To put it bluntly, it was improper policy issues that led to the country's people being miserable. The court was inconsistent, and they only wanted to fight for power and gain, not the peace and stability of the country.

Now that he can be given another chance, he can no longer play around like this. Since Feng Hao has adopted the New Deal and all countries are willing to help him, in addition to carrying out a drastic reform in the source of troops, including economic, legal and military

All parties will follow the policies that are beneficial to him, so that the mistakes of the past will not occur.

"One thing is what worries us the most." Shangshu ordered Wang Xian to come forward and pay homage.

"What's the matter?" Wang Mang listened to the ministers' suggestions humbly.

"Food is a problem." Wang Xian spread his hands. The national finance, armament, and grain problems have not been solved, but have become worse. This year, even the last grain reserves are almost gone.

Now it was Wang Mang's turn to commit the crime. According to statistics, the country's grain reserves and national treasury were running low, and they even lost a lot of money. Since Ying Zheng started horse trading with Wang Mang, all of Yinzhou's best horses were sold out.

Ying Zheng deceived and sold them off at a low price, and the rest are all bad horses...

"How much money is left in the treasury?" Wang Mang suddenly fell silent while stroking his beard on his chin, and then asked how much money was left in the treasury.

"There are less than two million taels left. The army has not been paid for two months. If this continues, the country will collapse due to financial problems." Wang Shun, an aide, spread his hands. Wang Mang's fundamentals were not very good to begin with.

Well, even if there is not enough time, there is no way for him to develop.

Wang Mang, who was desperate, had no choice but to seek outside assistance, which we call "international" assistance. Their new dynasty was adjacent to the Tang Dynasty and Qin Dynasty. Now they could only seek asylum from Ying Zheng and Li Shimin, letting these two

Please come and give them some financial assistance.

"Shimin, um...are you free?" Wang Mang said in a very polite tone to Li Shimin, who was several hundred years younger than him. This was nothing less than a shame for him...

"Brother, I have something to ask for." Wang Mang sent another message to Ying Zheng, and then he went to please Ying Zheng with a shy face.

"What's the matter?" The first person to reply was the eldest brother Ying Zheng, who was still so cool and cool, even if Liu Bang sprayed him all over him, he was still cool, all for the "plan".

"I don't have any money... I want to borrow some money to pay my brothers military pay." Wang Mang felt aggrieved and asked his eldest brother for financial assistance.

Because Qin's fiscal revenue has doubled in proportion, isn't it because Li Si and Shang Yang conducted some policy exchanges with the Tang Dynasty, a dynasty that was more advanced than them, and completely abandoned the previous backward policies and replaced them with the strengthening of the Tang Dynasty's two tax laws?

version, in addition to the two-quarter taxation to reduce the burden on the people, another gain condition is added, that is, the farming war policy does not change, I use the two-quarter taxation law to reduce your burden, and you sell all the goods and grains in batches for me, and earn money

The country that earns the most money will reward you with a title.

In this way, under the conditions of the New Deal, the Qin State completed the sales of goods and grain with a population of two million in just two months, and the profit earned was approximately 46.48 million taels of silver.

What is a commodity? It’s not just painted pottery and some lacquerware. These things became treasures in the eyes of wealthy merchants in later dynasties. Once these things were sold, those wealthy merchants didn’t care about anything and sold them all at high prices. In this way,

Since then, high-priced and low-priced products have emerged.

In just two months, folk products related to lacquerware and utensils were sold at high prices. The smaller and more delicate the objects, the higher the selling price and the more money you make. This is what the saying goes: you

It feels like you have made a profit, but the merchant will never lose money.

Ying Zheng also felt sorry for his younger brother Wang Mang, so he ordered Shang Yang, who was also the governor of Su Neishi and Lang Zhongling, to transfer 13 million taels of silver and 100,000 taels of gold from the treasury for Wang Mang's use. However, after Wang Mang's strength recovered, he would definitely return it.

money.

This money made Wang Mang burst into tears. He kept thanking Ying Zheng for his generous hand. With this money, he could carry out drastic reforms.

The latest news also came from Li Shimin. They are also willing to promise Wang Mang to support them with a large number of grain and planting related talents. According to the topography of Yinzhou, the area they plant is very small, but if you look at a large area, Yinzhou

There are three areas to the east of the state that are suitable for growing corn, but they are all at the junction between Qin and Xin.

Ying Zheng didn't pay much attention to these issues. He happily agreed to Wang Mang's use of the land and gave it to Wang Mang for him to cultivate.

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!" Guangxin Gong Zhenfeng paid his respects.

With the help of foreign aid, the national treasury economic crisis and food and grass problems can be successfully solved. Now Wang Mang is full of righteousness and posted a message saying: I want to rise up!
Chapter completed!
