You still have to teach.
From the most basic how to arrange a march, to how to choose a location to set up camp.
From maintaining military discipline to boosting morale, from arranging food and grass supplies to checking astronomy and geography.
Every bit, every drop is knowledge.
How can it be so easy to arrange an army that can number in the tens of thousands or even tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands and lead them to march thousands of miles and fight desperately with just a few words?
Li Yunze is experienced, but that's all.
This is the first time for truly systematic learning.
As a time traveler, he didn't think he was that awesome.
What you don’t understand still doesn’t understand, and what you should learn still needs to be learned.
In the past, he studied secretly, watching what the generals did and learning secretly.
In terms of Li Yunze's real command ability, it is better than that of a certain "machine gun position moved five meters to the left". He can command thousands of people with ease.
But once the number of people becomes huge, reaching tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, they simply rely on inertia to do things, rely on military generals at all levels to share responsibility, and only when the opponent is incompetent can they do it with all their strength.
Now is a very good opportunity to supplement.
Study in the morning, train in the afternoon, and go home in the evening.
While sleeping, Li Yunze also lamented that if he had worked so hard when he was in school, he would have been admitted to a good school and could be a lawyer or a doctor now.
Regardless of character, at least at the end of the year, banners can be hung in the department to distribute notes. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
How is it like now, when I have a system that I don’t know what to do with, and I have to go to a parallel world to practice and take classes. I am exhausted all day long.
On this day, Li Yunze, who had finished his military training, returned to the East Palace on the horse given by Zhu Di, but was hurriedly informed by the eunuch that he had been summoned by the emperor's study room.
No matter what, Tang Mu had to turn around and go to the imperial study room before he had time.
In addition to Zhu Di, the three brothers Zhu Gaochi are all here, and there are also many important officials and dignitaries in the court.
Li Yunze saw the master craftsmen sent by the imperial government to follow the fleet to Sado Island at a glance, and he immediately understood what was going on.
"coming."
Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon chair, crossed his legs and snorted, "Everyone from the inner palace is back. There is indeed a mountain of gold and a mountain of silver on that little broken island."
Sado Island is actually not small at all, with an overall area of thousands of square kilometers.
But in the eyes of Emperor Ming, this area was indeed a small broken island.
It doesn't matter if it's a small broken island, as long as it has gold and silver.
Several master craftsmen explained to Li Yunze that there was a lot of gold and silver there, and it was undoubtedly a big mine.
The only thing to worry about is that it is located in a remote area, so if you want to mine, you must invest a lot of manpower.
"It's easy to find manpower." Li Yunze looked at Zhu Di, "Although the Japanese country is small, it has a lot of people. Use military supplies and weapons to replace people with mines, and you will mine to death."
In an era without mechanized equipment, if you wanted to open a mine, you could only replace it with people.
Those who are kinder will live longer.
Those who are anxious and just want to mine as soon as possible and mine more, then there is nothing to say, and they really have to risk their lives.
The three brothers didn't say anything. They were indeed short of money, especially Zhu Gaochi.
If this was done within the territory of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty were used to do such things, he would definitely not agree.
But this is Japan after all...who cares?
The nobles didn't care, but they were very interested when they heard that they could get gold and silver.
There are moral gentlemen among the ministers, but again, this is not the Ming Dynasty.
After glancing at everyone's reactions, Zhu Di said calmly, "Then do it. Third child."
Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao Jian, immediately came out happily.
"Pick a batch of weapons and supplies from the army and send them to Japan on Zheng He's ship."
Having said this, Zhu Di looked at Yang Pu, "You have been to Japan before. Is there anyone easy to get started with?"
"Yes." Yang Pu saluted, "The Ashikaga Shogun is the most powerful among the Japanese countries, but there are many people who are dissatisfied with him in various places. As long as you give support and hint a little secretly, you can naturally stir up trouble."
"Leave this matter to you." Zhu Di ordered Yang Pu's general without any ambiguity. "No matter what method you use, just go looking for mines and people, and then transport the gold and silver back."
"Your Majesty, take the order."
As one of the famous Three Yangs, Yang Pu naturally has some abilities.
It is not difficult for him to do these things.
"alright."
Zhu Di waved his hand, "Now that the gold and silver have been secured, let's prepare to send troops to Mobei next year."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaochi and the civil officials looked solemn, but Zhu Gaoxu and the nobles were all smiling.
Honorable men and women love to fight because only by fighting can they be rewarded for meritorious service and promotion.
Zhu Gaoxu loves fighting, because on the one hand, like Zhu Di, he is born to like fighting. On the other hand, it is because it can strengthen the military power in its hands.
But the housekeeper Zhu Gaochi and the civil servants couldn't bear it.
Fighting costs money, and it costs a lot of money. And it will also consume countless materials and food.
"Your Majesty." Yang Rong went out to salute, "We only went on an expedition last year, and the Japanese gold and silver have not yet been obtained. Many places have also suffered disasters this year..."
"Don't talk about this." Zhu Di waved his hands very simply, "Please go to the prince for matters like this. I will just send troops. Let's all disperse. Zhan Ji will stay."
Everyone left with strange expressions, leaving only Li Yunze and Zhu Di.
The two of them were speechless, but after a long time Zhu Di sighed, "Do you know why I am in such a hurry to send troops?"
Li Yunze thought for a while and asked tentatively, "But the dragon body remains unchanged?"
"My bones have become more and more uncomfortable recently." Zhu Di was stunned and speechless at first, and was shocked that Li Yunze dared to speak. Then he hesitated for a moment, then confided in his heart, "I feel very uncomfortable when it rains. I think I don't have much time left."
At this time, Li Yunze naturally said some kind words that fit the situation, such as long live long live long live.
Let alone Zhu Di, he himself didn't believe what he said.
"I will die on the battlefield throughout my life as a soldier!" Zhu Di's expression gradually became majestic. "I still have a wish that I have not yet fulfilled. I must destroy the Mobei tribe and completely eliminate the threat from the North!"
Aspirational and ambitious to do it all.
It's a pity that it didn't succeed.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Di finally turned to business: "The imperial court is asking for money, do you have any good ways to raise military funds?"
Li Yunze's previous proposal to 'borrow' Japanese gold and silver really made Zhu Di look at him with admiration.
The problem is that you can't get it in a hurry.
After all, gold and silver are buried underground, and it takes time to mine and refine them.
At this time, what Zhu Di lacked most was time.
He wanted to get all the important things done before he died, but the court really couldn't afford the money.
As we all know, the Ming army's combat effectiveness is the best in Asia when it is fully paid.
But once they can't provide enough salary, their combat effectiveness will...
Zhu Di, who has been in the military for a long time, understands this better than anyone else.
The troops were sent to Mobei, the money and rewards were collected from the sergeants and civilians, the purchase of various military supplies, the treatment of the wounded, the compensation and burial of the war dead, and so on.
The larger the scale, the longer the war lasts, and the amount of goods required is astronomical.
Zhu Di had no choice but to see if Li Yunze could come up with any good ways to spend some money.
After hearing this, Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "It's easy."
His attitude really made Zhu Di a little stunned. "Think clearly, this is not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels, but at least a starting gap of millions of taels."
"Three months."
Li Yunze raised three fingers: "It is not difficult to raise ten million taels of silver within three months."
Zhu Di simply stood up, walked to Li Yunze, stared at him with his hands behind his back and said, "Say!"
“Sell the national debt!”
Zhu Di had never heard of what a national debt was, and the confusion on his face became even greater: "Tell me carefully!"
"Use the royal taxes as a guarantee of wealth, and use your Majesty's reputation as a guarantee. Sell treasury bonds to the whole world, with a ten million two-year term, and you can get three points of profit." Li Yunze talked eloquently, "In fact, it was sold to Jiangnan in the past. , so more time is needed. After all, Jiangnan is rich. If it is only sold in Beijing, ten days will be enough."
Zhu Di frowned, "Is this a treasure note? Don't you know that no one cares about the treasure note?"
The Ming Dynasty also had banknotes, which were called Ming Baochao.
This thing could have greatly alleviated the shortage of precious metal currencies, but unfortunately it was ruined by Zhu Yuanzhang.
He and the civil servants thought that this thing could be exchanged for unlimited money, and they could exchange paper for as much money as they wanted.
As a result, the credibility of the treasure banknotes has plummeted. Now, the banknotes can only be exchanged for one hundred coins, but the face value is one thousand coins!
More importantly, basically no one is willing to accept it.
"Of course it's not treasure money." Li Yunze simply shook his head, "This is a loan, not something like treasure money that is specially used to defraud money. Therefore, taxes must be used as a guarantee, and His Majesty's reputation must be used as a guarantee. Once you break your trust, you will not be able to pay back the money." No, what you will lose is His Majesty’s face.”
"After the treasury bonds are issued, they can be exchanged for silver from the Ministry of Accounts or the Ministry of Internal Affairs at any time, but there is no interest. If you have not come to exchange them after two years, you can continue to hold them and exchange them at any time."
Li Yunze sighed, "If the treasure banknotes hadn't ruined their reputation before, it wouldn't be so troublesome. In order to issue them better, I have to ask for an imperial edict from His Majesty."
Zhu Di walked around a few times with his hands behind his back and said, "Let's talk about it."
"Your Majesty, please decree that national debts will not be seized or confiscated."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly turned around and looked at Li Yunze.
Li Yunze said calmly, "Those who can afford treasury bonds are naturally wealthy people, especially large households. If they commit a crime and have their homes confiscated, they can continue to hold the treasury bonds if they are not confiscated, which will inevitably attract people to rush to buy them."
At this point, Zhu Di already roughly understood.
Speaking of methods, this is indeed a good way to quickly accumulate wealth in a short period of time.
The price to pay is also quite high.
Especially if you don’t copy it...
In ancient times, when a house was searched, even the bricks on the ground were lifted.
Want to hide money? Just dream.
No matter how much wealth you had before, you will definitely be destitute once your home is confiscated.
But if the national debt is not confiscated, wealthy families will indeed buy like crazy to protect their wealth.
Zhu Di instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he thought that sending troops to Mobei would require a lot of money and food, he fell silent.
At this time, Li Yunze once again said, "Treasury bonds can be sold every year, and the money borrowed this year can repay last year's payment, which is Yin Chi Mao Liang. As long as we can win, plus the continuous input of gold and silver from various places. When everyone is used to it, credit has been established." , naturally it can be modified again.”
Zhu Di, who had been wandering around with his hands behind his back for a long time, finally stamped his foot.
"Can."
