Chapter 87

Luojing.

In the huge school yard, with the shouting orders of the officers, thousands of strong men are practicing with sweat and rain. Beside them, there are military law officers riding back and forth on their horses, and there are guys who dare to cheat and cheat. Once found out, they will be dragged out and whipped.

It was a rare fine day. The warm winter sun hung in the sky, and the bright sunlight slanted down, which gave the emperor's gold armor a bright glow.

On the high platform, the emperor stood by the railing, and looked at the end of the horizon with a faint golden light in the deep, but there was no joy or anger on his handsome face.

After his arrival, after these days of adaptation and integration, his inhumane breath has gradually faded away, and he has regained his grace and atmosphere, without anger and self-respect.

"The Emperor..."

The chief steward came over, and after saluting, he cautiously told him, "it's almost noon. Is the lunch going back to the palace, or is it sent over?"

The emperor turned his head and looked at him, and said faintly, "then send it here."

The chief steward promised to go down and get ready.

"Yu Qing's family, come and talk with me."

After a while, the emperor said again.

Next to a third grade minister immediately leaned over and bowed: "what's your Majesty's command?"

The minister's name was Yu Xiang, and he used to be an unimportant official. When Zhang Minzhong was in charge of the government, these imperial historians were just decorations, and their sense of existence was almost nonexistent.

However, after the emperor came to power, he promoted many people, including Yu Xiang. It turns out that he has some talent, not just a fool.

"Although Zhang Minzhong is not a thing, he has made a mess of my country."

The emperor's tone was flat: "but he also knew that it was a good thing to set up the 300000 new army. I just want to play in the imperial palace. This is far from enough. What do you say? "

Yu Xiang glanced at the emperor's face and said, "since the troops are not enough, we can only continue to expand and form a new army. However, there is not much money in the Hubu department. This year, the taxes collected by all parts of the country are equivalent to less than 4 million taels of Silver..."

The imperial court can control less and less territory, especially after the loss of the rich Jiangnan region, coupled with bureaucratic corruption at all levels, interception, embezzlement, to enrich their own pockets, naturally receiving less and less money from the Treasury.

"How much money is left in Hubu? If I decide to expand the army by 500000, how much money will it cost? " The emperor asked directly.

"I would like to inform your majesty that there are still 40 million taels of silver in the Hubu department. If the new army is to be expanded again, the total cost of training will be about 30 million taels. With at least half a year's training time, they will be able to meet the needs of the expedition." Yu Xiang carefully tunnel.

Originally, the imperial court had a great deal of business, such as weapons and armor, bows and arrows, military uniforms, barracks and other materials. Over the years, there were some reserves in stock, which could be taken out directly when needed. However, in recent years, the imperial court has been constantly using troops, and the inventory of these materials has been exhausted, so we can only prepare new ones from the beginning.

On the whole, if we want to make the 800000 new army be able to go to the battlefield, the average cost of each soldier is about 56 Liang silver, which is a very reasonable expenditure. Of course, it is OK to lower the standard, but it is difficult to guarantee the combat effectiveness of the army.

The emperor was silent for a while and asked, "how much money has been copied from Zhang Minzhong's home?"

"My highness, the officials of the Ministry of finance have counted out that all the property is worth more than 21 million taels of silver, which has been filled into the house of the interior." Yu xiangdao.

The house of the interior was the emperor's private Treasury, which was of course separate from the Treasury of the household department. It was impossible for Yu Xiang to take out the emperor's private purse even if he was given ten courage.

"In this case, I'd like to allocate the money from the house of internal affairs first. But if we go on with this trend, we can support that by the end of next year, the court will have no money to use." The emperor frowned.

There will be a war after the Chinese New Year. How many places can be pacified in a year's time? The emperor has no idea. If the war is protracted, it is hard to say whether the palace can hold on.

Of course, from his current position, whether the court will be finished or not has little influence on him. The key is to find and seize the traces of the outliers as soon as possible and erase them, so as to prevent the loss of the origin.

It is very likely that the outliers are in the south. However, if the imperial court wants to use military forces in the south, it must first try to clear away these princes in the north, as well as the Hu tribe who plundered by the fire.

It's a pity that my strength is limited now. Otherwise, if I go alone and kill all the senior officials of the state of Chu, I should be able to force that strange number to appear, and the problem will probably be solved.

"Well, I'll give you a list later. You copy all the official's families. I believe it's not a problem to collect tens of thousands of liang of silver." The emperor said coldly.

Yuxiang's scalp was numb, which should be awe inspiring. I wonder how many ministers have been killed. But for the sake of Qi's country, the emperor will not be soft hearted.

"In fact, there are many gold and silver treasures buried in Imperial Mausoleums of all dynasties. If the silver is not enough in the end, you can dig them out for help." The emperor said to himself.Yu Xiang's eyes were black, almost did not faint. That was the first emperor of the Qi Dynasty. As a descendant of later generations, you even didn't let go of your ancestral grave in order to make money. Do you know what you are talking about? Is there any emperor like you?

As long as the news spread, the whole country would have to fry the pot, and the emperor would be drowned just by spitting.

He quietly saluted and left, forgetting the last words of the emperor.

……

Jinling City.

Songyuelou is a famous century old shop in the city. It is famous for its delicious food and wine. Because of its popularity, many officials are willing to invite friends and friends to come here for a feast in their spare time.

A humble looking carriage stopped at the door. Zhao Cheng, dressed in casual clothes, pulled the curtain off the door. A servant had already moved to step on the footstool.

Qin Feng, dressed in splendid robes, stepped out of the carriage. The veiled Yun Qi Jun followed him out. Surrounded by more than a dozen plainclothes guards, they stepped on the steps.

The steward's eyes at the door were extremely fierce. He knew that the guest was coming. He quickly welcomed him and saluted respectfully.

Zhao Cheng threw some silver coins to him and said, "the third floor is the best elegant room."

"OK, I'll arrange it right away. Please go upstairs." The steward agreed in a hurry.

In the window area on the third floor, after two people took their seats, a pretty maid came to serve tea and water. Qin Feng glanced at the menu and ordered a full table of all kinds of delicacies.

After a moment, when the dishes were ready and everyone left, Qin Feng began to drink himself. Yun Qijun just moved his chopsticks symbolically, and then he began to stare at him with complicated eyes.

Just in terms of appearance, the man's eyes are bright and the jade trees are facing the wind, and the woman's beautiful color is beautiful and gorgeous. It seems that they are a good match for each other. Only Qin Feng understood in his heart that the relationship between the two was called an ally, but in fact he was hostile to each other. If there is a chance, she is not stingy to take good care of herself.

With a woman who is good at holding grudges, she shot her twice at the beginning. If there was no accident, she would remember it for hundreds of years or even a lifetime.

"Ask me out alone and have something to say." Qin Feng sipped his wine and asked leisurely.

After brewing some words, Yun Qijun said, "are you not afraid of causing some bad consequences if you get so much silver for the king of Chu?"

"Not for at least a hundred years." Qin Feng is a short tunnel.

If it is said that there is a hidden danger of silver flooding and inflation, there is no need to worry about it. This world is similar to the main world in the song and Ming Dynasties. The long-term shortage of silver is an objective fact. During the Ming Dynasty, nearly half of the world's silver output flowed into China, and prices did not collapse.

Only if Qin Feng gets hundreds of millions of taels of silver (tens of thousands of tons) at one go, it will be possible to achieve this, but he obviously will not.

What's more, what he got was not only silver, but also grain, copper, iron, medicine and other wealth in kind. In the future, with a little attention, there would be no problem.

"I'm not talking about this."

Yun Qijun shook her head and said, "you should understand what I mean," it " It's very likely that we've noticed the anomaly in the South and noticed you. "

She pointed to the sky.

"What about noticing? Nature has a way to deal with it? " Qin Feng didn't care.

"Your heart is so big that it's not proper to fight against the will of God."

"You are not a real fairy, are you? The other side at least has the cultivation of true immortal, even higher! With your weapons, you may not be able to work with them. "

"I admit that it is very powerful, but since it has come, it can not escape the shackles of the laws of the world."

Qin Feng put down his glass and said, "as long as the emperor's body is destroyed by me, it can only find a suitable target to attach to it. During this period, it may take at least half a year. Do you think it will have a second chance?"

“…… How can you tell? Or how do you know that? " Yun Qijun widened her beautiful eyes and looked at him strangely.

"Of course I know, or I would not have come to this world." Qin Feng's expression was calm, and everything was in control.

“……”

Yun Qijun looked at him for a long time, and finally looked defeated: "well, if you have this skill, but this is not a long-term plan. As long as the will of heaven is not extinguished, it will never give up the pursuit of you. What are you going to do?"

"If the will of God is damaged too much, you will fall into a long period of sleep and recovery, and the golden age of your friars will come." Qin Feng Road.

At that time, if you want to break through the immortal level, you will certainly reduce the difficulty of some people who want to break through the immortal world.

Qin Feng will never be a loser in the battle against the will of the world.

"Is that true?" Yun Qijun was surprised and pleased.

Qin Feng was about to answer. His face suddenly changed. He saw that the dome of the restaurant was lifted by a huge force, and three figures with mysterious breath rushed at him.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
