Yang Qilong’s military advisor is quite formal!

Not only did he receive the seal, official uniforms (Confucius uniforms) and the orders of the State Administration, he also received the mansion in Jieyang County and received the corresponding salary of fifty taels of silver per month!

Well, fifty taels of silver a month don’t seem to be much, but it is the highest standard salary issued by the Jieyang court.

Zhu Cijiong, the king of the regent, and Zhu Hetong, the prince's secretary, are now only receiving a salary of fifty taels per month and have no additional income!

This is not just a casual statement, but a public announcement to be supervised by everyone! Now it is the world's public! Even if King Zhu Tian and Zhu Heying want to be kings, they can only be "King of Su". Of course, their income is still something they can eat fish and meat.

After all, in Chaozhou today, there are few people and many lands, and you can eat seafood by the sea, so delicious food is not expensive.

And they have some old foundation. Zhu Heying also got two dowries, one is Qiu Shuzhen and the other is Daboling's and it can also eat soft rice. It tastes good!

However, the Nanxi and Northwest Inner Factory founded by Zhu Hetang and the East Factory contributed by Eunuch Pang are now all "for the public". It is not possible not to "for the public"!

The Jieyang imperial court now has hundreds of civil and military officials, 1,500 permanent troops, and more than 1,000 teachers and students from the Academy Youth Hall to support them.

The monthly expenses are as high as 70,000 taels of silver, while the income is only 10,000 taels per year given by the Yanping Palace and 20,000 shi of rice given by Qiu Hui. The tax revenue in Jieyang Beiguan Market and Jieyang County is as high as 700,000 taels per month.

In other words, the Jieyang imperial court's monthly tribute tax revenue was only two or three thousand taels, while the expenses were seven or eight thousand taels, and the deficit was as high as five or six thousand taels!

As for such a big hole, in addition to taking advantage of old capital, we can only rely on the five factories in the southeast, west, north, and north to fill it! Among the products of these five factories, the fastest money is the West Factory’s pyrogen and the inner factory’s gunpowder!

After Zhu Heying took over Jieyang County, he immediately issued a "dung consumption order". The people living in the county town must register the large animals raised in the county town and submit a certain amount of shit and urine every day.

The shit and urine are collected by the Xichang Factory, and then mixed soil in a certain proportion and piled it up in a newly built salt pool outside the Dongguan of the county town. This is the site of the Xichang General Factory. The salt pool in the Gucheng Village is now managed by the Xichang Gucheng Branch. Regardless of the main factory or branch factory, it has been continuously expanding production in the past two months.

According to Zhu Hetian's design, when the raw materials are sufficient, a nitrogen pool can produce about 1,500 to 2,000 kilograms of nitroso soil every month, and can extract fifteen to twenty kilograms of tinder, and at the same time consume 150 to 200 kilograms of "raw materials" of tinder, now the Gucheng branch has 60 "pools", with a monthly output of up to 1,000 kilograms of tinder! The supply of raw materials at Jieyang General Factory is also sufficient, and it is also free, so there are as many as 200 "pools" that have been built and planned to be built!

If all of them are built, the monthly output of the entire West Factory will be able to steadily exceed 4,000 kilograms! Zhu Hetian's standing army is only 1,500, so of course they can't use so much tincture or gunpowder. So before all these tincture pools are completed, Zhu Hetian has already started to take orders from Qiu Hui and Liu Guoxuan!

This fire and high-quality granular gunpowder are hard currency in Guangdong. Any local tyrant wants to buy it and fight with the clans in the next village. It can be used to scare dog officials who are forced to move or collect taxes.

If anyone doesn’t have one, it won’t be at ease when you sleep!

Therefore, if the western factory and the internal factory buy three or four thousand kilograms of gunpowder within one month, they can earn about 5,000 taels of silver to subsidize the country. Although the income is still insufficient, it can greatly slow down the consumption of cash and help the Jieyang imperial court support the two flagship products "Da Mingchun Wine" and "Dongchangxiang" to start making a lot of profits.

By then, the finances of the Jieyang court were stable.

However, the current style of diligence and thrift in Jieyang's imperial court still made Yang Qilong, who had temporarily become Yang Xiuqing, feel a vibrant new spirit.

Compared with the poor court in Jieyang, the Qing court in Beijing seemed quite luxurious, and it was filled with a decadent smell. You know that the Qing Dynasty was about to end when you smell it!

Yang Qilong, who wore a Confucius suit that looked very easy to look at, had a linen belt tied around his waist, and a long sword hung on his belt, was now sitting on a chair in the hall of the Jianguo Mansion. Looking at the common people in the court, he suddenly felt that he was also much more vigorous.

He will set off to Haiyang County tomorrow to win over Liu Jinzhong. He did not recruit people for Zhu and Jian, but for Wu Sangui. Today, Zhu and Jian did not arrange for him to eat, drink and have fun in Jieyang County, but instead took him to court.

The purpose is to let him truly feel what the imperial court in the world is like!

This way you can have a sense of belonging!

"Ah, military advisor!"

When Yang Qilong was feeling the atmosphere of the new dynasty, he suddenly heard someone calling "Military Advisor". He thought: "I am a military advisor! This is calling me!"

So he quickly stood up and stood up, and he heard Zhu Heying talking: "Judge Yang sat down, we, the original scholar, followed the ancient sages, and the king and his subjects, can sit and discuss the truth."

Look, what a harmonious relationship between the monarch and the minister!

Yang Qilong quickly sat back, and then bowed to Zhu Gong, the king who had just spoken, "What's the matter with the regent?"

King Zhu is still a commoner now, dressed up with a frugality in the corner scarf. Looking at Yang Qilong with a positive expression on his face, he felt a little amused. He actually wanted to ask Zhuge Sanhe about choosing a concubine, but when he looked at the expression of the newly appointed Right Military Advisor, he was embarrassed to ask questions again.

So I had to change the topic and frowned and asked, "The spy we placed in Mianhu Village just came to report that Shang Kexi had arrived yesterday and there were about 20,000 troops coming with him. However, they did not intend to advance. They are currently building camps and seem to be going to fight a protracted battle. Do the two military advisors have a brilliant plan to defeat the enemy?"

What? Yang Qilong was stunned and said to himself: "I don't have a brilliant plan! No one gave me a brilliant plan, and I couldn't think of a brilliant plan."

In fact, Zhuge San has no clever plan, although he has many tips, but there are no ready-made clever plans to put them in, because he has not received Zhuge Liang's true teachings at all. He has to use his brain to think about it himself. It is not easy to be a military advisor!

But Military Advisor Zhuge can't say that he can't defeat the enemy now!

Now the military advisory industry has begun to be internally produced, and there are two military advisors! He said there is no way. If Military Advisor Yang has a solution, then who will be the boss of the Military Advisor's Mansion in the future?

Thinking of this, the military advisor Zhuge shook the fan of the lion's head and goose feather and said, "King, I have a wonderful way to defeat the enemy!"

There is really a lot!

King Zhu quickly asked: "Come on!"

Still have to say it?

The sweat beads on the forehead of the military commander Zhuge were almost coming out, but he still had to hold on to the scene, so he had to use his brain to quickly think about it.

"King, I suggest you can use the empty city strategy and the strategy of siege Wei to save Zhao to defeat the enemy!"

These two strategies were the last time, and this time came again! This military advisor Zhuge probably had no other strategy.

"How to use this empty city strategy?" King Zhu continued to ask.

"King," said Zhuge Jun. "This empty city plan is of course to open up and let Shang Kexi's army advance eastward. He does not make any defenses in the west of Jieyang City, which makes him suspect that we deliberately lure the enemy, and feel worried and dare not advance rashly."

A "empty city plan" really made a fancy!

The Heavenly King Zhu said again: "Where are you surrounded Wei and saved Zhao?"
Chapter completed!
