After the opening ceremony of the Odawara Castle Temple, Zhao Ran said to Liang Xiaoyou: "I have to trouble you for a few more years. This place is no better than Luoye Island. The population inside and outside the city combined is ten or twenty times more than Luoye Island. The missionary work is thousands of times."
It’s all complicated and complicated, and I’m worried that it will affect your practice.”
Liang Xiaoyou smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, my husband and I are ambitious in all directions. We would rather travel hard and travel thousands of miles just to reach an idea. In terms of practice, it is also another kind of gain. In fact, Odawara City also has spiritual veins.
There are seven places of spiritual veins in the Hakone Mountains to the west of the city, which are called the Seven-Eyed Spirit Pond. I have personally visited them. The Yingzhou priests have been practicing, but their skills are not good, and they have wasted these places."
Zhao Ran said: "That's good, I haven't noticed it."
Liang Xiaoyou said: "That's because you have too many things to take care of. But it's best to transfer some people from the Shifang Jungle from the Central Plains. I heard that you have taught many of them secular affairs in recent years.
For those who have entered Taoism, it seems more appropriate to let them come over to take care of evangelistic matters, as it can be said to take into account both public and private matters."
Zhao Ran said: "We have already selected in Nanzhili and Sichuan. One hundred people have been recruited in advance. I heard that the number of applicants is very enthusiastic, far exceeding the number of recruits. They will be able to come by the end of the year. But even if they come, we still have to rely on you and your wife to take charge of the general affairs."
, the Edo Dao Temple is only temporary, when the Kyoto Dao Palace is built in the future, you have to help me manage the Dao Palace for a few years."
Liang Xiaoyou smiled and said: "This is a bit difficult, there are tens of millions of people...it takes a great talent like you..."
While they were talking, Zhao Ran saw Zhang Juzheng. After saying goodbye to Liang Xiaoyou, he returned to Hayakawa's residence nearby and looked through the reports brought back by Zhang Juzheng.
After Zhang Juzheng and Zeng Ruming led their troops to occupy Edo, they have been busy collecting silver, one of Zhao Ran's two major goals for this expedition. After working for more than a month, they finally had a preliminary harvest and rushed to Zhao Ran.
Annunciation.
"Teacher, there are so many silver deposits in Edo. Although there are no silver mines, it is the gathering place for silverware in Yingzhou. This step is really the right one."
Zhao Ran looked through the report and said: "Uncle, I have told you many times that if you want to be my disciple, you must first achieve Huang Guan Consummation."
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Everyone calls you teacher anyway, so it's not unfair for me to call you. Besides, it's going to be soon. I estimate that in one or two years, I will be able to become a disciple."
Zhao Ran nodded, continued to read the report, and asked at the same time: "Tianshi Chen and I are discussing candidates. Do you know Lu Zhiyu?"
Zhang Juzheng nodded: "How could I not have known that the Goryeo Imperial Master, who was in charge of the administration, had advanced so rapidly that even the emperor could not keep up with him?"
Zhao Ran asked: "Have you ever considered taking charge of Yingzhou?"
Zhang Juzheng said in surprise: "Teacher, are you serious?"
Zhao Randao: "According to the resolution of the joint meeting, and with the approval of Zhenshitang, Yingzhou plans to follow Donghai's example and establish the Yingzhou Governor-General. The area is not that big, but its size is far greater than that of Donghai. The candidate for the governor is planned to be based on Chen Tianshi's rules.
Brother Lianxu took over, but after all, it is impossible for Brother Lianxu to handle everything personally, so the joint meeting decided to set up three departments under the Governor to assist the Governor in handling affairs."
Zhang Juzheng listened carefully, for fear of missing a word, Zhao Ran clasped his fingers and said: "The first one is Shifang Jungle and the Kyoto Taoist Palace will be built. This area will be managed by Taoist priests Lun and Liang. The second one is Yingzhou Dusi, ready to consult Zeng Ruming
to see if he is willing to take charge and serve as the commander of the capital. The third is the Changshifu, which is responsible for government affairs. If you are willing, I can make a suggestion to the joint meeting and recommend that you serve as the governor of Ying. You must seriously consider it. Once
He takes up the post for five years, and he can be replaced after five years."
Zhang Juzheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked: "How to arrange the garrison?"
Zhao Ran nodded, approving in his heart, and replied: "Half of the existing garrison will be withdrawn, leaving only three thousand people, who will be recruited and rotated by various guards in the Central Plains in the future. These three thousand people will be the main ones under the jurisdiction of the capital, from the island
We will recruit five garrison armies, including Kantō, Kansai, Kumamoto, Kagawa, and Ezo, with each army having 6,000 men. In addition, the inspection fleet will be in the northeast of Sagami Bay... There is a fishing village here, which I named Yokosuka, and a permanent establishment was established in Yokosuka.
Fleet base and establish Yingzhou Squadron."
Zhang Juzheng nodded: "That's enough. This disciple is willing to serve as the governor of Ying. I also ask the teacher to recommend him."
Zhao Ran finally finished flipping through the report, pondered for a moment and said: "Divide these silver ingots into two parts, ship half of them, ship them immediately, and deposit them into the Overseas Reclamation Company's account at Four Seasons Bank. The other half will be kept in Edo, and a secret warehouse will be built to seal it.
Wait for me to arrange it. As for the silverware, half of it will be awarded to the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Expedition and the monks, and the other half will be shipped to Yingtian, where it can be transferred to the Household Department and Jianjiguan Accounting Room with great fanfare."
The amount of silver seized in Edo was a huge amount, and the refined silver ingots amounted to eight million taels. According to Zhao Ran's arrangement, four million went to the overseas reclamation company, and four million was kept in the Edo secret treasury, all in order to conceal the secret.
Guo Nazhen Fairy Boy.
In addition to silver ingots, there are also more than 80,000 pieces of exquisite silverware, all large and small, with a total weight of more than two million taels. Half of them will be rewarded for meritorious service, and the other half will be turned over to see what Nazhen Fairy Tong and Zhang Yuanji will do.
As for the silverware and silver ingots seized in Odawara Castle, which totaled more than three million taels, Zhao Ran had already made them disappear from the books.
The seizure in the Kanto region was over 10 million, how much was in Kyoto? How much was in Iwami and Izumo?
Kyoto is still in the hands of Sekishiro Hideyoshi, but Iwami and Izumo are already under the control of Tingfeng Taoist. The silver deposits in the treasury of the two countries are also tens of millions of taels, and in the various workshops under the Silver Mountain,
There are also five million taels.
There is also definite information about Yinshan’s output, which is 1.5 million taels per year!
With this money, the money shortage problem of the Ming Dynasty can be greatly alleviated, and even based on this, further reform of the small-amount banknote system can be considered.
But this is an ideal plan. In fact, Zhao Ran still faces two problems, Qingqiu's profit sharing and Nazhen Fairy Tong's blackmail. The most doubtful question at present is, how big is Nazhen Fairy Tong's appetite? 1.
After ten million taels, will there be another ten million taels?
Zhao Ran can't wait to march to Kyoto. The money in the Kyoto area does not need to be divided with Qingqiu, which is a huge income. But he cannot leave Odawara Castle at the moment. The Ming army has occupied Edo for a month.
He hasn't been there yet because he can't move.
In Luhu to the west, the siege of Lu Zhi continues. Zhao Ran controls the entire virtual sensor map, and providing Lu Zhi's whereabouts at any time is his current main task. The sensing area of the virtual sensor map is so large, if he
If you go to Edo, there will be problems with the sensor.
After listening to Zhao Ran's instructions, Zhang Juzheng quickly wrote it down and finally said: "Disciple will go to Edo to arrange the payment of silver to Yingtian. By the way, who is the governor of Yingzhou?"
