Chapter Thirty: Great Victory and Important Artillery

How much can Emperor Chongzhen collect taxes in a year?

It only costs more than 20 million taels of silver a year.

If you want more, you will get exploited or taxed.

But Jiang Hao and the others are robbing, bah, no, they are fighting against evil forces.

Jiang Hao and his friends attacked evil forces. Every time, every family had at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. If they encountered a rich man, hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels were possible.

This is just the cash that was found, not all kinds of antiques and rare treasures, or land shops.

Moreover, this is the one that they have collected in the north of them, with a harsh climate and a lot of turmoil in recent years, and many powerful and powerful people have moved out in advance.

If you really fight to the south and plunder all the wealthy families in the south, some families may be able to scrape out tens of millions of taels of silver.

Especially those family businessmen who openly abide by the court's regulations and do not go out to sea and secretly engage in sea trade are even richer.

Therefore, although Jiang Hao has great constraints on other aspects, at least the freedom of silver has exceeded Chongzhen.

I'm a little excited to think about it.

Not to mention these, nor to say what happened to the court or what Huang Taiji did. When Li Ju and the others fought in front of him, Lu Liang still maintained peace.

Jiang Hao also successfully passed through Hou Dahe and received wool from the northern herders who were adjacent to their Shanxi.

Originally, Jiang Hao only knew about the Korqin grassland and the like, so he wanted Hou Dahe and the others to go to Korqin to collect the wool.

However, it was rejected by Hou Dahe.

Because Korqin is actually closer to the core of the Later Jin Dynasty. Oh, it cannot be called the Later Jin Dynasty now, it should be called the Qing Dynasty now.

Therefore, Hou Dahe still prefers to trade directly with the nomadic tribes in the grasslands adjacent to Shanxi.

First of all, it is relatively close, and it is convenient to transport and saves money.

Secondly, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were in a serious stalemate in the northeastern territory, and it was not convenient to enter and exit alone, not to mention the back and forth transactions and transport a large amount of wool.

Their power used for transaction transportation is far less than that of the eight major Shanxi merchants. The risk of trading there is too great, and it is far from the security of directly trading with the small nomadic tribes adjacent to Shanxi.

Jiang Hao is not a person who doesn’t listen to other people’s advice. He is a professional transportation and procurement company and must understand the market better than him, who doesn’t know anything.

Therefore, he naturally agreed with Hou Dahe's suggestion and asked him to send someone to bring a batch of supplies to the grassland adjacent to Shanxi for transactions.

Because there was a relatively close place, in just half a month, they successfully exchanged a batch of wool with the herdsmen over there.

At this time, Jiang Hao had asked the carpenters to make the wool spinning machine uniformly, which was basically done.

In this way, the yarn workshop naturally started smoothly.

...

"Yes, the wool over there should be shipped here continuously in the future!"

Jiang Hao stood in the wool workshop and watched the machines continuously produce wool under the operation of the female worker. He was very satisfied and asked Hou Dahe who was standing beside him.

"Sir, that's the case.

According to the people we sent out to consult with the herdsmen there, the herdsmen there agreed to provide wool until September.

After September, the weather began to get colder, and the sheep also needed wool to spend the winter.

However, according to my estimate, those herders themselves should also find ways to collect wool from other herders around them and earn a certain price difference.

So we only need to establish good relations with some herders.

As for other aspects, if those herders want to maintain their own business, they should also find ways to manage their own things.

After all, we are the only ones who collect wool on their side at the moment.

For this, we will not pay much more money, and we will save trouble.

It's still very cost-effective in comparison."

Hou Dahe clearly explained the general situation, and also explained the pros and cons.

"That's fine. You can collect as much wool as the herdsmen have. Anyway, when winter comes, you won't have to worry about selling wool thread!

By the way, didn’t you say that there was news from Li Ju and the others? Come and talk to me here in detail!”

After Jiang Hao learned about the situation, he pulled Hou Dahe to a small office next to the yarn workshop.

Hou Dahe is in charge of both procurement and transportation. After all, procurement and transportation are not contradictory.

Even the two can complement each other.

Therefore, whether it is Li Ju's delivery of things back or Jiang Hao's delivery of things forward, they are transported through the intermediate transportation channel of Hou Dahe.

When transporting, it is also very convenient to circulate news and other things.

Therefore, Hou Dahe is the main person in charge of the procurement department on the surface, but in fact he also serves part-time responsibilities of the Ministry of Transport and Intelligence Department. Therefore, his position here is still quite core and important.

The two of them came to the small office to sit down. Hou Dahe then took a letter and handed it to Jiang Hao, and said:

"Brother Li sent this letter and asked me to bring you a few words!

The general meaning is that the conscience-free cannons and earth grenades you sent us last time were effective, and now they have successfully defeated the imperial army that came to suppress them.

Therefore, Brother Li hopes that you can do more to send it over, and it will be more convenient for siege or something!"

"So, is this a good news?"

Jiang Hao couldn't help laughing.

It is not only a happy front line to be smooth, but also a feeling that it is a bit funny to convey good news through this form.

When watching TV series, people send good news to them quickly, and then shouting about some great victory and other things along the way.

When you get to his side, let alone horses, it’s useless to shout.

But it’s normal. If you just started a stall, why should you care about the storefront?

"It's not difficult to make things, but you have to help you purchase relevant materials after going back.

It's not appropriate. In this way, I'll send a few relevant technicians to them and let them find various materials on the spot and make them on the spot.

This also saves back and forth transportation.

Just keep it confidential.”

Jiang Hao originally wanted to say that he would make it on his side as before and then send it to the front line.

But as soon as I turned around, I thought that the further I was pushing forward, the further I went.

Now he is a little closer, and it takes about a week to send the things over, but when he turns around, he even beats Shanxi.

It may take half a month, or even half a month, or even more than a month for a round trip.

How can I catch up with such a long time?

Therefore, it is better to give a few technicians who are not qualified and will basically copy and force them to help them make it.
