Chapter 205: The Duke's Stratagem

In Lu Jiuyuan's eyes, the "returnees" surnamed Lu and the "returnees" surnamed Chen had just arrived in Kaohsiung. Although the target shooting in Mao Geng's shooting shed seemed concise, there is no joke about the great military strategy of the Song Dynasty since then, so Lu Jiuyuan said:

"The Duke of the State, this matter is very important. The military is the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival and death. You must observe it! The officials of the State think that they must be careful and ask the Duke of the State to think twice!"

Zhao Yan smiled.

Of course, Zhao Jian would not make a statement easily. Today, he just didn't want to take the military vision of these "returnees" in school. He just stretched his weight, and it was not yet at the level of easily setting the strategy with a few words of "returnees".

After that, Lao Qiu and the other two left first, leaving only Mao Geng, Lu Jiuyuan and Han Tuozhou.

Zhao Han wants to listen to Mao Geng’s opinion.

Mao Geng smiled bitterly in his heart, but it was difficult to deny Lu Chen and his two proposals at once, so he followed the procrastination method and proposed a compromise plan.

The first step is to sweep Taiwan first, and the second step is to take Luzon west, and set up a three-year strategy. As for whether to raise troops to go west then, it will happen three years later. There are many variables in the past three years. If Zhao Han is still in power in Taiwan, it will be a little bit more! According to the historical documents of Mr. Qian Airu, it seems that Zhao Han's life span is only between three and four years. In the original history, Emperor Guangzong Zhao Dun accepted Nei Chan as the throne and became the emperor a year ago. I don't know whether Zhao Dun can become emperor in this time and space, or maybe Zhao Han in front of him will replace him, it is unknown.

When Mao Geng thought of the Zhao family's throne, he was not calm. For safety reasons, he really had to take Nanyang into his hands. If there was any change in the court, there would be a way out.

As soon as I thought about this, I said:

"Mr. Lu doesn't have to worry. What Lu Sheng and General Chen said, whether it's better to take Luzon or take Luzon and then advance westward, you might as well adopt the method of "fight to support the war". I am willing to call on the merchants in the special zone to bear half of the money and grain of the army. As long as the court occupys the territory at that time, some territory will be divided into these merchants who have paid the money and grain according to the amount of money and grain, and then refer to the Kaohsiung example and are exempted from tax for three to five years."

This is the affirmation of Chen Yujie's "land finance". Secondly, in order to dispel Lu Jiuyuan's doubts, Mao Geng felt it was necessary to praise the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers. Of course, this is compared to those primitive barbarians:

"Although there are some barbarian soldiers in this island, they are not as good as the Jin soldiers. As long as we have sufficient preparations, it is not difficult for our Great Song Heavenly Soldiers to take down such islands."

Seeing that Lu Jiuyuan did not object, Mao Geng felt that he had said almost everything, but he still had to express his opinion:

"The Xiaguan has accumulated some money during this period. As long as he can share his worries for the Duke of China, he can donate some money, borrow money, or exchange money for land, he will all follow the notice of the State."

Both Gaozong and Xiaozong encouraged trade and had always been very generous to merchants, and even had reward policies. Many Quanzhou merchants were awarded official positions because of their large business. Although they were not real positions, they were ultimately a matter of glorious family members to honor their ancestors. It can be seen that the big taxpayers were praised and commended by the court. But then again, although the Song Dynasty did not have the habit of plundering merchants, the Song Dynasty was an imperial society after all, and private property was sacred and inviolable. It was nonsense. Mao Geng still adhered to the principle of spending money to avoid disasters. Donate if you should, and it was never ambiguous!

In Kaohsiung, there is not yet a three-year tax exemption period, so I don’t have to pay taxes to the court. However, my wealth has soared, not only the public is jealous, but the Song Dynasty court, including the beloved Emperor Xiaozong, will also be jealous. If I don’t know how to do it and express it inappropriately, it will be angering for the public.

Now Zhao Han wants to raise military expenses. Judging from Zhao Han’s meaning, even fools can tell that he wants to make a statement. Mao Geng is not a financial miser, so he immediately offered a letter of fame. Haha, although Guanghua shares with a capital of 800,000 yuan have been sold for 200,000 yuan, he doesn’t mind selling 100,000 or 170,000 or 170,000 to 180,000 shares. The millions of yuan they have been cashed in will definitely be able to withstand it for a while as military expenses.

Of course, it would be better for Zhao Han to be happy and not to use money and grain for nothing, but to adopt the method of "money and grain for land". Wouldn't that be an unexpected surprise!

Han Tuozhou thought to himself that Mao Geng is good at showing loyalty! He not only showed loyalty, but also had a scheming attitude, that is, he deliberately or unintentionally leads to "paying money for land". By the way, Mao Geng did not suffer any losses in Taiwan, and strictly speaking, he still took advantage.

With Zhao Yan's intelligence, he will definitely not do stupid things like killing chickens and getting eggs. He will most likely not let Mao Geng donate money and food for free. The reason is very simple. If he donates once, he will probably not have a second time. Moreover, if he donates, how much can he donate! So he must follow the "land finance" approach. Since this is the case, he cannot leave it alone.

"The Duke of the State, the officials are not worthy of resources. If the Duke of the State implements the "land finance" method, let the officials raise some money, one to contribute to the court, and the other to leave more land for their descendants. In addition, there is also some spare money in Taiwan, Song and Hai Trade, and they can raise them together. Perhaps the military expenditure of the military expedition in the west will be almost the same. There is no need to worry about money and food. The Duke of the State just sends troops and takes down all the islands along the west."

Han Tuozhou's family is a nobleman of the Song Dynasty, and he is not short of money! Taiwan Song Haimao is at its peak now, and he has a lot of spare money. At this stage, he can take out at least 500,000 taels of silver (one million yuan silver coins), so Han Tuozhou is full of confidence, well, has radical capital.

When Zhao Yan saw it, he subscribed so enthusiastically, it was not bad! He could do it again:

"Oh, if you do this, it would be better to start a company. The court will pay 25% of the price, Mr. Mao will pay 25% of the price, Taiwan-Songhai will pay 25% of the price, and then raise 30% of the price from merchants. The company's business is to invest in land expansion. Once the price of land expansion is successful, the company can be listed on the exchange. Hehe, at that time, the company's stock rose several times, and it is not difficult. I remember that Chief Executive Mao had said a similar meaning to me before. I was inspired by Chief Executive Mao, and suddenly I had a little inspiration. I came up with such a way, but I don't know if it was feasible!"

When he heard that he could finally go public after paying money, he would of course mean exponential returns. I imagined that he would invest a thousand and would soon be able to make thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. Han Tuozhou immediately became uneasy and quickly echoed:

"It's still a great master. In this way, there will be no need to worry about military spending in the future. It's wonderful! It's really wonderful! Why can't the officials think of such a good idea?"

The support and flattery made Zhao Yan a little fluttered, but Han Tuozhou's flattery was not high after all, so Zhao Yan sought Lu Jiuyuan's opinion:

"Mr. Lu, what do you think?"

Since Lu Jiuyuan came to the Special Administrative Region, he has felt all kinds of new thinking. In Lu Jiuyuan's mind, it is best to use the wealth of the rich people in the Song Dynasty to raise soldiers. However, in this way, the burden on the poor will be lighter! Those who are unkind for the rich have too much money to spend, so they can automatically pay for money to support the Song Dynasty to expand their territory. That's good!

"The Duke of the State is a good idea, but you must act carefully and protect the interests of investors, otherwise it will be difficult to last."

When Lu Jiuyuan said this, he remembered that Mao Geng had not spoken yet, so he asked:

"I don't know what Yi Sheng thinks?"

If it were before this, Mao Geng would immediately object, but now, Mao Geng hesitated.

The origin of the matter seems to be due to my own gift. I remember that when I chatted with Zhao Han, I mentioned the "East India Company" model intentionally or unintentionally. The "East India Company" in the UK and the Netherlands are both fund-raising commercial organizations. People regard colonization as a profitable transaction or a corporate business, which is indeed amazing. Well, at least it has some reference value. Mao Geng didn't mind using this model to Zhao Han, so he instilled this concept in his chat. Of course, the meaning was that, but after some tricks.

OK! This young man is really good at thinking. He actually puts forward this shocking solution in corporate operations.

Linking the expansion of territory and speculation, how big a bubble will it produce! It's really "how bold people are, how much more productive the land is." Should the military of the Song Dynasty also be "big/leap forward"? Although the bubble crisis in the stock market is in a controllable range, it is also a bubble after all. Could it be that a country's military is linked to the bubble? Please! My young prince, you dare to think and do it. The key is that you must be able to collect the border at that time.

However, Mao Geng is not good at opposing it. Judging from the behavior of Lu Yijian and Chen Yujie today, these new time travelers will have uncontrollable situations at any time. I believe they dare not have any major problems, but there is no doubt that they can support the bubble proposal of the Duke in different ways, especially Lu Yijian! It is not ruled out that others will follow Zhao Han to stand in line. In this case, if you object, you may become marginalized, and that is absolutely not possible!

Thinking about this section clearly, Mao Geng said:

"The Duke of the Kingdom is very good. This method is really a wonderful method for the strong army of the Great Song Dynasty. However, Mr. Lu should also pay attention to how to subscribe, how to guarantee returns, and how to ensure healthy development. We must be cautious. The subordinates can draft a plan and hand it over to the Duke of the Kingdom for review."

Since it cannot be stopped, Mao Geng decided to get the power to set standards so as to avoid the risk of bubble formation to the greatest extent.

When Zhao Han saw that even Mao Geng was applauding, his idea was really good. He nodded happily. Of course, Mao Geng was good at doing this, so he could make a plan.

So, Zhao Han's strange plan was passed through the crowd. Except for Mao Geng, everyone else was excited, and even Lu Jiuyuan was the same. Zhao Han even looked like a spring breeze, and he felt that as soon as this plan came out, the world was in his palm.

Next is the arrangements for the "returned" generals.

Chen Yujie was arranged to help train troops in Yue Ju's army, while Lu Yijian was arranged to Wu Xi's army. As for Guo Ni's army, he did not arrange for "returnees" to enter. Zhao Han felt that at least the purity of one army should be guaranteed.

Yue Ju is loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and even a "returnee" can't make any mistakes. As for Wu Xi, Lu Qi'an is not a powerful general at first glance. It is said that his ability to shoot muskets is very mediocre, which means he can say something, but Wu Xi is definitely not a good deal. If he is placed in Wu Xi's army, he is not afraid of him turning the tables.

Well, since Mao Geng said that these "returnees" are very good at military affairs, they must not be buried. So let's try to help train soldiers first. Maybe a miracle will happen.
