    In Erzinzhan City, Yang Yun was leisurely reading the newspapers sent from the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away. A thick stack of the Ming Dynasty morning newspapers for more than ten days was delivered together.

    "A house in Songhu has actually increased to more than 700 taels of silver per set. If I had known, I should have invested in buying some houses in Songhu. The houses in Tianjin have been unable to rise in the past two years."

    "Also, the economy of the South has always been better than that of the North. In the past few years, the rise of factories, workshops, and businesses has allowed the North to temporarily surpass the South."

    "After the rise of factories, workshops, and trading houses in the south, it quickly caught up with the north. Songhu is right at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and its geographical location is much better than that of Tianjin."

    "Well, there will definitely be room for improvement in the future."

    Thinking of this, Yang Yun also picked up pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and quickly wrote a letter to his family, asking them to invest in a house in Songhu.

    As the newly emerged nobles of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Yun, Zhang Mao, and Liu Jin were very close, and they invested heavily in various fields and places in the Ming Dynasty.

    Yang Yun has his own factories, workshops, and trading houses, as well as a large number of plantations in Nanyang. He also has a large number of pastures in his fiefdom of Australia, and he has his own silver mines and gold mines in the Golden Continent.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????: There are also cotton farms and pastures of their own in the Western Region and Hezhong. It can be regarded as a big business. In just a few years, it has accumulated such a huge family business.

    ??Among them, a large number of farms, plantations, pastures, mines, etc. were all rewards he received according to the Ming Dynasty's military merit system after he marched and fought in battles and achieved military exploits.

    Like the plantations in Nanyang, when they attacked the countries in Nanyang, they opened up new territories for the Ming Dynasty and the emperor. Naturally, generous rewards were indispensable. There were more than a dozen islands belonging to him alone, and they were all relatively large in area.  of islands.

    The pasture in Australia was his fiefdom. He was named the Duke of Australia. There was a large piece of grassland in Australia that belonged to him. He also sent people to manage it and bought some slaves to herd cattle, sheep and horses.

    Under the new military merit system, as long as he can win, every soldier has his own merits, let alone a leading general like him, who has a lot of money, land, and slaves.

    ¡°And he also learned from Liu Jin and Zhang Mao, and followed them to invest in factories, workshops, trading houses, etc., and even invested in overseas colonies.

    It¡¯s all legal.

    Not only him, but every general in the army is actually similar. For example, Hou Huoying in Hezhong has a large number of pastures and cotton plantations in Hezhong and the Western Regions. He also invests in plantations in Nanyang, mining in Huangjinzhou, etc.  .

    The ordinary soldiers at the lowest level are actually wealthy.

    In every battle, the gold, silver, jewelry, etc. seized will be converted into silver taels, and then distributed according to proportion. Basically, every time a big victory is won, sometimes it will be a few dozen taels of silver, and sometimes it will be a few hundred taels.  There was also a thousand taels of silver.

    In addition, there are a large number of physical rewards. When attacking the Western Region and the Hezhong area in the past, almost everyone received a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses as rewards, and everyone was inevitably assigned a few slaves.

    As for the land obtained by opening up new territories, they also have their share, and basically they can allocate the best land. Everyone is a rich man.

    This is why the Ming army is now full of the opponent's desire and motivation for expansion.

    ¡°If the 200,000-strong army had traveled thousands of miles to conquer the Ottoman Empire before, it would probably have collapsed without an enemy attack. The imperial court wanted money but no money, and it wanted food but no food. It would have been impossible to defeat it.

    But it¡¯s different now. Even if the court tells you that the food cannot be transported, they will say that it¡¯s okay, just an order to start the war is enough.

    They can rob and figure out their own solutions. In short, when it comes to fighting, everyone likes it because it is a good opportunity to make a fortune and make achievements.

    "Hmm~"

    "This South Caucasus region is really nice. It has a mild and humid climate, beautiful scenery, and a variety of prey. Maybe I can retire here in the future."

    Yang Yun was thinking about this harvest in his mind.

    An army of 200,000 marched westward, killing more than 500,000 enemies, and captured hundreds of cities. The gold, silver, jewelry, and various other properties seized were worth tens of millions of taels of silver. In addition,  The reparations from the Ottoman Empire afterwards and so on.

    It is estimated that when the army reaches 200,000, each person will be able to get a lot of money.

    ??Recognizing the Ming Dynasty¡¯s right to rule the area, troops are not allowed to be stationed within a hundred miles of the border with the Ming Dynasty.

    At the same time, several islands in the Aegean Sea were ceded. In the future, Ming ships traveling through the Bosporus Strait and the Sea of ??Marmara will not need to pay taxes or be restricted by the Ottoman Empire.

    As the defeated country and the party that provoked the war, the Ottoman Empire compensated the Ming Empire with 100 million taels of silver. Because the Ottoman Empire did not have enough wealth to pay in one go, it adopted the method of installment payment.

    The initial payment amount is 40 million taels of silver. Daming is willing to accept the conversion of relevant valuables. The payment must be completed before August 1, the 16th year of Hongzhi.

    The remaining 60 million taels of silver will be paid in installments over thirty years. A total of 1.5 billion taels of silver including principal and interest will need to be paid to Daming. Five million taels of silver or equivalent value must be paid before the first day of August every year.  of property.

    As soon as the "Erzinjan City Agreement" was signed, it spread quickly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
