Chapter 155 Earn tens of millions of dollars a day!
Zhenguogongfu
“Lao Niu, your eldest nephew stays at home all day and has not yet found a proper way to make a living. As his uncle, you can’t just ignore him.”

“That’s right. We are all of the same bloodline as the founding fathers. I also have a nephew…”

As soon as the order to go to war came down, many people came to visit Niu Jizong’s house.

The lineage of the founding of the country, as well as old disciples of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion, almost broke into the mansion.

Who doesn’t know Jia Cong’s methods?

It can be said that this expedition was just to follow Jia Cong and gain military merit!

Low risk, high reward.

Every household wanted to place their incompetent sons and nephews into the army.

Even if he was a minor official like a military clerk or a centurion in the rear.

After gilding himself on the battlefield and making some efforts when he came back, his future would be completely different from before.

“Okay, okay, we are all family, how can I, Old Niu, refuse?”

“My Lord said before that we are the founding lineage, and we must unite.”

Every family has their own sense of propriety, and the younger generations in the family who are able to ask for favors are not hopeless.

Most of the time, Niu Jizong agreed without hesitation.

At this moment, the butler in front suddenly ran to the reception room in a hurry.

“Master, there is an eunuch outside who is delivering an imperial decree, asking you to go and receive it.”

“Has His Majesty issued another decree?”

Niu Jizong was slightly stunned after hearing this.

He quickly apologized to everyone and then went to the front yard.

……

“I hereby declare in compliance with the will of Heaven and Shunde!”

“Appoint Niu Jizong as the first-class baron, deputy commander of Liaodong Town, and transfer 50,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp to Liaodong.”

“Defend the land and keep the people safe. No mistakes can be made. I order you to do this!”

“Your Highness Niu Jizong obeys your orders!”

Niu Jizong took the imperial edict and was immediately confused.

“Excuse me, eunuch. Didn’t His Majesty order me to lead the troops to invade Korea…”

“Why did you suddenly change to Liaodong Town…”

Xia Shouzhong was not in the capital, so a strange eunuch came to announce the decree.

Niu Jizong stepped forward, and while he was talking, a silver note quietly fell into the sleeve of the eunuch who announced the decree.

Today, the founding lineage is headed by Jia Cong.

Twisted into a rope.

It is no longer an empty shell that has been living off the merits of ancestors.

The eunuch who announced the decree felt the extra thing in his sleeves, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

“Uncle Niu may not know yet.”

“The Red Feather Courier just rushed to the capital over 800 miles. The Marquis has already pacified Korea.”

“Liaodong Town is now empty of garrisons, so His Majesty had no choice but to let you lead 50,000 troops from the Beijing camp to serve as deputy commander.”

“We have to go back to the palace to report, so we won’t stay here for long. You’d better hurry up and make preparations, sir.”

“Thank you for the reminder, father-in-law!”

Hearing this, Niu Jizong suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

How many days have passed since the imperial edict came down to organize the army and prepare for the expedition?

Can you believe that the war was over before we even left Beijing? ? ?

……

Korea
Shangjing City

“Your humble servant Cui Zhicheng, the military minister, pays respect to the Marquis!”

A middle-aged man was brought into the study.

Jia Cong did not live in the Korean royal palace in Shangjing City, but chose a large house that was confiscated in the city.

When leading troops outside, one must avoid the necessary taboos.

There is no need to arouse the royal suspicion and affect the development of Shinto because of such a small matter.

“Master Cui, please don’t be polite. Please take a seat.”

Baochai came out from behind the screen holding a cup of tea and placed the tea on the small table next to Jia Cong.

Then he stood quietly beside Jia Cong.

Cui Zhicheng subconsciously straightened his back, daring only to keep his butt slightly close to the edge of the stool.

In the Joseon official system, the State Council was divided into six departments.

The Minister of War is equivalent to the Minister of War of Daqian, and ranks second in rank.

Even when facing Li Yuzhe, Cui Zhicheng had never been so nervous. There was nothing he could do!
The girl in front of him is a fourth-level dragon girl, but now she is standing beside Jia Cong like a maid.

“Cui?”

“What is the relationship between Lord Cui and the previous rebel Cui Taiyu?”

Jia Cong took a sip of tea and asked casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a “plop” sound.

Cui Zhicheng fell to his knees.

“My Lord, the surname Cui is a big surname in Korea.”

“I just happen to have the same last name as Cui Taiyu. We actually have no relationship.”

“Choi Tae-woo’s evil deeds have caused public outrage in North Korea. I have long been hostile to him.”

“I see. Sir Cui, please take a seat.”

“So why did Lord Cui come here this time?”

Jia Cong raised his hand and asked Cui Zhicheng to sit down again.

“I traveled thousands of miles, taking no pains, to restore order for North Korea.”

“This time, I came here with some small gifts to express my gratitude to you, Lord Marquis. I hope you will accept them.”

Cui Zhicheng said this, standing up and respectfully handing over a gift list.

Baochai stepped forward and took it.

“Mr. Cui, you are too polite.”

After chatting for a few more words, the personal soldiers sent Cui Zhicheng away.

……

“Cong’er, this Lord Cui is from Gyeongsang Province, and he is quite generous.”

“Five hundred thousand taels of silver, thirty thousand taels of gold, five thousand acres of land deeds and three hundred-year-old magical herbs.”

After Cui Zhicheng left, Baochai flipped through the gift list and casually reported Cui Zhicheng’s family background to Jia Cong.

Emperor Shunde’s decree had been transmitted to Korea through the Ziwei Division.

Three years per term, three consecutive terms!

Anyone could see at this point that for at least ten years, Jia Cong would be the “King of Korea”!
Even if he leaves office in the future, he will still have terrifying strength.

In North Korea, his words are almost law.

Miraculous medicine, land, and silver!
With the deliberate spread of the news by his personal soldiers, now everyone in the capital city of Korea’s high-ranking officials knows about Jia Cong’s love for him.

This is the countless number of North Korean officials of the third rank and above who have come to give gifts in the past two days.

They all set their sights on becoming one of the eight great Dao Yin.

The silver alone amounted to nearly 20 million taels, and the total area of ​​land was 100,000 acres.

There are more than fifty spiritual herbs.

“Sister Bao, have all the officials above the third rank from all over North Korea arrived?”

“Most of them have arrived. The few who haven’t arrived have resigned and fled.”

“these people……”

Jia Cong shook his head slightly and said casually.

“I have always acted fairly. How could I be so disregarding and partial because of such a small sum of money?”

“Tomorrow is the day to select the governor, Sister Bao, please remove those who haven’t come to give gifts in the past few days from the candidate list.”

“it is good!”

Upon hearing this, Baochai covered her mouth and chuckled, and could not help but glance at Jia Cong with a reproachful look.

In fact, Jia Cong asked Baochai to cross her off the list not because she did not come to give gifts.

You can also say that he is self-righteous!

You can also say that he has no tact!

In the final analysis, the establishment of the Daoyin under the Grand Protectorate was still for the purpose of making money for Daqian.

If you don’t have this kind of vision, you will definitely not be able to do good things.

The second reason is that it is difficult to control!
“Oh, Sister Bao, please help me remember this.”

“From now on, the Grand Protectorate will cut 30% of the tax silver paid by the eight provinces of Korea, 20% of which will go to the Grand Protectorate, and the remaining 10% will be divided among the officials of the Protectorate!”

After thinking about it, Jia Cong added another sentence.

The Daqian officialdom was not plagued by corruption, but it was not entirely clear either.

Remember, there are no fish in clear water.

Setting the rules in advance can also avoid manipulation in the future and causing chaos in the two protectorates.
