Chapter 366: The rise and fall of the empire in one fell swoop(2/2)

, so collecting 20,000 shi of food was considered as all he could do. But what the jade brought him was a steady stream of banknotes. These banknotes allowed his son to live a rich life in the capital, helped him make friends with powerful people, and had already obtained

The Queen Mother rewarded the new crop of sweet potatoes from overseas. It is said that this crop can produce thousands of kilograms per acre, and that as long as sweet potatoes are planted in the future, the food problem can be solved.

It is also drought tolerant.

In short, as long as he has sweet potatoes, his hot fields will be able to support more jade-picking workers in the future, allowing him to make more money.

But the sweet potato cultivation technology was all taught by Ambassador Yang.

Therefore, even if I try my best, even if I make my subjects endure it for a while, or even if they starve to death some old and immovable trash, I still have to scrape together 20,000 shi of military rations for Ambassador Yang.

Isn’t it just suffering?

For the sake of the good days in the future, it is necessary to be bitter. Without the bitterness now, how can there be the sweetness in the future?

"Twenty thousand gu, I'd better give you 20,000 gu. After all, we can't favor one against another. The price of rice in the capital is now enough to buy three gu."

Yang Feng said.

Then the officer also handed 20,000 Guan banknotes to the Khotan chief.

Of course, the latter thanked Ambassador Yang sincerely, even though he really had to use treasure money to buy it here, which was almost five dollars and one stone.

There were more people but less food, and those jade merchants also used treasure banknotes, resulting in a large circulation of local treasure banknotes.

However……

Ambassador Yang has already given the money, why should he care about the amount?

Even if he doesn't pay, doesn't he still have to pay for food?

It was so touching that he actually returned the money when he could have taken it directly.

"They are all loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty!"

Ambassador Yang said with emotion.

And at this moment, a pair of eyes were looking at him from the window of a small building on the side of the road...

"Yang Feng actually did the conquest himself."

He Feng, a businessman from Guangdong, looked at Yang Feng with interest and the seemingly endless carriages behind him.

These four-wheeled carriages are all drawn by two horses, and the carriages are equipped with shields. The Beijing soldiers wearing red military uniforms are sitting in carriages or riding horses and camels. In addition, horses can be seen in the team from time to time.

The cannons were towed, and the cannons were followed by supply ammunition trucks. However, after thousands of miles of long march, they all looked dusty. In order to protect themselves from the wind and sand, all of them simply covered their faces with only their eyes exposed, even though they were

We first took a boat to Kaifeng before turning to land, and we had already traveled more than 7,000 miles.

Even if they take a carriage, it is only seventy or eighty miles a day, so they have been walking for more than three months, and they have to keep walking.

The battle on this expedition is not important.

This is the most elite legion in the Ming Dynasty. Even the Tuocheng cavalry cannot defeat them in a field battle.

Dealing with Tuocheng is very simple, as long as there are enough cannons, and the most indispensable thing for the Beijing camp is cannons. Even an infantry battalion has two kilograms of field cannons.

As for infantry engagements…

At this time, what infantry can break through the volley of tens of thousands of magical guns?

They are truly invincible in a fight.

But the march is the most difficult.

An expedition of thousands of miles.

Real miles.

"Let's go back to Dhaka quickly so that we can spread the news back to Guangzhou as quickly as possible. Yang Feng has gone to the Western Regions and is still moving forward. He probably won't return to the capital within a year. The news from the capital has not reached the Western Regions yet."

It will take a few months, and it depends on whether our emperor can return to the capital."

he said.

He is He Di's subordinate...

At this time, Guangdong's merchant ships had already established stable trade with Dhaka and other eastern Indian ports, and even had their business names in Dhaka. Because Guangdong's textile industry was developing rapidly and it urgently needed more cotton, Indian cotton was undoubtedly the best choice.

, and India also needs spices from Southeast Asia, silk, porcelain, sugar, etc. from the Ming Dynasty. It happens to be shipped to Dhaka, and then shipped back to cotton. The use of schooners has also greatly shortened the sailing time between Dhaka and Guangzhou, and even one

The merchant ship set a record of one and a half months from Guangzhou to Daka. It would have been faster if it was an empty ship.

They are now setting off to return. They will only have one and a half months to reach the destination at most, and the remaining one and a half months are enough to send the news to Guangzhou, and Guangzhou has already been prepared. They even know about Yang Feng's Western Expedition, but they don't dare to confirm that it is true.

Fake, after all, Yang Feng likes to play with feints the most. But now that he has appeared in Khotan, there is no such thing as a feint. He is really on the Western Expedition. As long as Guangzhou moves quickly, he will be defeated in less than three months.

If he could attack the capital, let alone Yang Feng's return, he would not even know the news of Guangzhou's troops in such a short period of time. As long as he could capture the capital before returning, Jianwen could command the whole country as the Ming Emperor and wipe out Yang in one fell swoop.

Rich party members.

What can he do if he goes back then?
