Chapter 1103: Borrowing Money
Jizhou, near Fumo Castle is now a Chinese arsenal, some basic weapons and equipment are manufactured here, and a large number of people from the vicinity have also been recruited here, all of whom can only be employed after political review, because of secrecy, many people do not know what they are doing.
If you leak military secrets, you will be killed, this used to be the faith of Jizhou, but now, this belief has been completely destroyed by the one in Qingzhou, and now there is only this factory.
Now batches of classified weapons and equipment sealed with seals are transported to Jiaqing Pass, and it is still a professional person in Jiaqing Pass who has come over, and it is more formal than the three princesses escorting gold, not letting anyone approach, nor passing through anyone's hands.
The main weapons and equipment are provided by Qingzhou, and here is only a small part of it, and now it has played a little role, and Qingzhou is a little far away from Jiaqing Pass after all, and the consumption is still very large.
Now the purchase of grain and grass has been completed in the Jizhou area, and the purchase of grain and grass needed by hundreds of thousands of people at once has also indirectly driven the grain prices in the Jizhou area.
If he had brought a million armor like Qingzhou before, how could he support foreign wars year after year, Zhang Fan had calculated to ask for these people, but the more the better, so many people were fighting, who would farm, how could they fight without food?
Now they are all taking the route of high-end elite soldiers, but it is not enough for a group of rabble, and the 200,000 army led by Xuanyuan Min has already taken Liangzhou is more than a dozen cities, and now it is approaching Liangzhou, and it is already about to start a counteroffensive against Liangzhou in the first half of this year.
Because there are so many people in the foreign war at once, and there are already many soldiers in Qingzhou, now Qingzhou feels a pressure, and it consumes too much in terms of military supplies, if it is not for the 30 billion gold in hand, I don't know if this year's war can be sustained.
Now we can't continue to increase the number of troops, we can't afford to raise them, Qingzhou has to take care of so many people to eat, and some people have mentioned that they want to increase agricultural taxes, but the farmers are so hard to farm, and the taxes are raised, so how can others live?
Now the only way to increase income is through the development of commerce, and there are some industries that the state has made efforts to invest in huge returns, so as to support this state apparatus, and now almost everyone thinks that they want to continue to complete the great cause of the unification of Kyushu, so everyone still supports the war.
This is mainly because the war can bring a lot of benefits, and now because of the war, but it has not increased the pressure on the ordinary people, on the contrary, they have gained benefits, how can they stop the war, and now they want the Chinese army to be overwhelmed.
Recently, Xiaoyun has also come back, but she has been avoiding this county lord, because she feels that the country is short of money now, and she is afraid that this county lord will attack her shop's idea, and now she basically cooperates with Liu Qingwu, and naturally makes a lot of money in a year, but she is reluctant to take out this money.
Recently, when the county lord eats, he is worried that the war needs a lot of money, Xiaoyun knows what's going on, Liu Qingwu does make money, but she is an investment, Xiaoyun didn't come up with a cost, and she relied on Zhang Fan's relationship to get so many things.
Now there are so many jewelry stores, and now there are diamond mines in Rongdi, and the national money bank also has shares, and even the Jizhou Chamber of Commerce has shares, and now the money-making business is inseparable from her.
Only then did she start to hide, and she didn't have so many jewels on her body, so she wanted to make this county lord feel that she didn't have any money, but the national money bank was hers, and if she went to investigate, she would naturally know how much Xiao Yun had saved in the money bank.
Xiaoyun does business, this is known to everyone, and because the business still needs to run around, but it needs to be reported when it comes out of Qingzhou, and now this county lord is indeed beating her idea, if there is no other income now, it will be difficult for the country to support it, and too many places need to spend money.
Now the Qingzhou renovation project also needs a lot of money, and this year to use electric lights in the whole city of Qingzhou, this project is a huge expense, and no matter what, so many soldiers on the front line need absolute support from the rear, no matter what, what the front line needs, the rear must give, and other projects can only give concessions to the front.
Xiaoyun built a Taoist temple in Qingzhou, saying that it was given to her master, and the Taoist Daoyun Daoist who was enshrined in it, of course, the Taoist Sanqing must be on it, this should be the only place where she took out the money, and she also knew that she would be filial to her master, and the decoration was very luxurious, and the incense money income should be good after completion.
She is a female Taoist priest herself, but she may have learned some fur, Taoism is the only designated sect of Xuanyuan, there is no Buddhism in it, Buddhism is like Dongyi, it is not allowed to exist.
Now Xiaoyun plans to open a few more Taoist temples and worship her master, so that the county lord will know that there is no money, her idea is very good, otherwise what if the money is taken away?
Finally, tonight, it is time for the family to eat again, Xiaoyun has already inspected the territory in the periphery, and now she will discuss it with everyone when she comes back.
In Qingzhou, it won't be too difficult to come back, now it's very convenient to get in and out, sit down, haven't started holding chopsticks, Xiaoyun is sweating profusely, take a towel and wipe it first, the cyan long skirt is a little stained.
"Sister of the county lord, I have inspected several sites in Qingzhou. ”
"Qingwu explained to me, she plans to take out 100 million to support the development and construction of the country, and you. ”
"I don't have any money!" took a steamed bun and took a bite of it, very directly, and refused directly. "I also want to help my master build a Taoist temple, a Taoist temple costs a lot of money, and Sister Liu knows it, right. ”
"This money is not for nothing, but now there are nearly 700,000 troops on the front line, which requires a lot of expenditure, and now it is a spring and summer plan, the country's income is in the autumn and winter, and the money needed is a little too much, since Qingwu can take 100 million with just a little share, you have to take out at least 1 billion, this money is borrowed from you, and the country will return it to you when the country has money in the autumn and winter." ”
"Don't refuse, if you feel that you don't have any money and feel that you want to build a Taoist temple, then your assets will be handed over to Qingwu, and you can build a Taoist temple for your master with peace of mind. Not frightened or impatient, a sentence made Xiaoyun clench her little fists, but she couldn't refute it.
If she really built so many Taoist temples, she would not be willing to do so, and she would be very angry if she asked her master not to give her so much dowry, and she would marry others without a dowry.
"Everyone knows that if I gave it to the county lord's sister or not, I am busy all year round, my hair is busy gray, and it is easy to make some money. "I'm going to cry when I'm wronged.
"Then you don't want to!"
"It's not that I don't give it, but I really don't have that much money, I still want to... ”
"It seems that you really want to continue to build Taoist temples, tomorrow I will let you be the Taoist host, anyway, you have already learned Taoism before, let you deal with those religious things. ”
"Then you have to write an IOU to me!" Definitely unwilling to really build a Taoist temple, he immediately took a bite of the steamed bun and looked at this county lord, borrowing money naturally to write an IOU.
This county lord did not refuse this time, nodded, and agreed to write an IOU, no matter what, this amount of money is very profitable, if a billion is taken out now, the reward is quite a lot, and now it can relieve a little pressure on himself.
Now at the critical moment, the two of them can take it out, and they don't object much to what business they do together, how to say that it is also their own family, and the money they earn is all family members, if Xiaoyun can take the initiative to take it out, this county lord will be even happier, but if you want her money, you need a little ability.

Rongdi prairie, the army of Jiaqing Pass on the Chinese side has not moved, and now in addition to the periphery, it is to clear the resistance on the side of the Southern Heavenly King, and the direct one-sided slaughter, now the weapons and equipment are updated, and the killing is much simpler.
The big bosses who got the resources here in the major auctions have come over, and now this side is still quite safe, especially the mining industry, and now they have applied for a large number of hundreds of thousands of captives with Zhang Fan's side.
These people all need money to buy, this is also an income, now get the application, immediately start to destroy another piece of grassland, the old and young are directly killed, not beautiful women are not needed, and they can't be sold, now the young men are arrested to be mining laborers, and there will be a large number of such people in the future, these people have use value, and the management house will send a part of these laborers to practice, and they can't let them escape and rebel.
Under the cover of night, a small cavalry regiment had been punished, and the whole team had changed into excellent war horses on Rong Di's side, all of which were advancing with heavy burdens.
This time, Zhang Fan, the guard general of Jiaqing Pass who was in charge of the beheading operation, wanted to personally carry out the beheading operation against Tian Khan, these people wanted to complete this great moment, and completely disrupt the momentum of Rong Di's gathering and counterattack, and then start to use troops against Tongtian Pass.
This is the first attempt to use special forces, this attempt is very commemorative, now Tian Khan is surrounded by heavy troops, even his camp has tens of thousands of people, not to mention the surrounding area, the main tribes have gathered, but now because of various interests There is no result.
Once Tian Khan is beheaded, Rong Di will immediately be torn apart, and he will not be able to pose any threat to Jiaqing Pass at all, and Zhang Fan will be able to calmly contact other places, otherwise there will be no way to completely eliminate this force this year.
