Wang Wuyan said 500,000 taels, naturally not the principal of the bonds issued by the East Mansion, but only the interest, in fact, after the one-year period is up, only a few people get back the principal, more people get back the interest, the principal is to buy the next issue of the bonds again, and some even put in again with interest. Based on Wang Wuyan's experience in previous years, the gap is only about 500,000 taels.

But in other words, the scale of this year's land bond is only afraid to expand again, and then be able to meet the needs of this year, as the household department of Shangshu, proficient in financial planning, Wang Wuyan, naturally very clear about the risks here, the debt is snowballing bigger and bigger, even if the principal is not repaid, the interest alone is a large expense, and to maintain the credit of the Zhengdong Mansion, it is necessary to continue to expand the Eastern Army, continue to win the war, so generally speaking, Wang Wuyan in the Ministry of War requires the expansion of the army, requires the increase in the production and storage of armaments, and the research and development of new weapons. It's still more generous, complaining is complaining, and when you really want to take money, you never be soft.

As soon as he heard Gao Yuan say that he could get him another one or two million taels of silver, Wang Wuyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyebrows that were hanging upside down immediately rose at this moment, and his eyebrows fluttered and said: "If Du Du can really get it, then this year will be better. After paying the interest on the bonds, plus all kinds of expenses at the end of the year, we will be able to break even at least this year, and we will not lose money."

"In fact, our conquest of the Eastern Mansion and the establishment of the country, it can also be simpler, don't be too extravagant and wasteful, you have always claimed to be an iron rooster, this time you might as well carry it forward again, if you can, try not to spend." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"That's not going to work!" Wang Wuyan, who has always been stingy, is unusually this time, "Dudu, this is a big thing, a big thing that overwhelms a qiē, everything can be saved, but on this, you can't save medicine at all, this is the dignity of a country, and your majesty, you can't let people see jokes. I was already ready for this money. Since the governor said that there is such a large sum of money in the account, it can be more lenient."

Seeing that Wang Wuyan's iron rooster was generous, Gao Yuan's idea of being frugal was considered bankrupt, shook his head, and stopped talking, when formalism is needed, it seems that it is needed.

The next day's negotiation seemed much smoother, Fan Sui thought that he had found the context of Zhengdong Mansion, Gao Yuan, as a military master in the world, would not be unaware of the importance of Huancheng to the Qin army, he should be very clear that the Qin army would not send Huancheng to Zhengdong Mansion no matter what, he opened his mouth widely, just to extort some benefits elsewhere, and this benefit is nothing more than money.

Therefore, when he sat down on the opposite side of Gao Yuan again, he confidently made a new condition, in addition to the land promised in the first negotiation, and compensated the Dongfu for another 1 million taels of silver. The condition is that the two sides sign a peace treaty and do not invade each other, and the eastern army of Jiuyuan County must immediately withdraw from Jiuyuan County, and not a single soldier can be left in Jiuyuan, and at the same time, the garrison of Shannan County shall not exceed 5,000 people, and as a corresponding condition, the garrison of Qin State in Jiuyuan County will not exceed 5,000 people.

Fan Sui did not mention the tens of thousands of Qin people looted by the Eastern Army in Jiuyuan, and Gao Yuan seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter, and the two sides signed this agreement under the conditions of a friendly atmosphere.

With this agreement, Fan Sui's heart is not easy, the signing of the treaty does not mean that the two sides are safe, on the contrary, this time he came to Jicheng, what he saw and heard, let him affirm Gao Yuan's ambition, as a rising star on this continent, Gao Yuan and Qin are completely in conflict with each other on the ultimate goal, one day, the two sides will inevitably meet each other, and compete on the battlefield, and now both sides are just unable to catch it, so they can only compromise with each other.

Fan Sui has now deeply realized that the Zhengdong Mansion will inevitably become the strongest opponent of the Qin State in the future, and the policy implemented by the Zhengdong Army, in Fan Sui's view, is much more advanced than the Qin State, but although he understands this, it does not mean that the Qin people can follow the pace of the other party, the Zhengdong Mansion led by Gao Yuan is a new force, they dare to break the old shackles, on the basis of a blank piece of paper, reconstruct their unique order, while the Qin State is not, the country has been established for hundreds of years, The deep-rooted interest groups have been firmly tied to the Qin State, Li Ru's way of governing the country is only to overlap the interests of both sides as much as possible, if the Qin State also comes to learn from the Dongfu set, I am afraid that the country will be destroyed, and there will be no need for outsiders to fight, and there will be chaos in my own country.

On the tenth day after the two sides completed the signing of the red flag, from the direction of Fengcheng, more than a dozen carriages drove into the camp of the Eastern Army of Chadianzi under the escort of the heavily armed Qin soldiers, Ye Zhen received these carriages on behalf of the Eastern Army, and without the slightest stop, he sent the first division of the Young Guards Meihua to escort the dozen carriages back to Jicheng.

A few days later, the carriage appeared in front of Gao Yuan, one by one the boxes were carried down, piled up in front of Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan smiled and walked to the front of the stacked boxes, kicked over, the top box fell down, with a bang, the lid of the box opened, and the neatly stacked silver inside fell out of the box and scattered all over the ground.

Mei Hua and the other escorts widened their eyes one by one, they received an order that no one was allowed to approach this box along the way, and they were not allowed to find out what was in this box, it turned out to be a box of silver. More than a dozen carriages, I am afraid that the number is only a million taels of silver. Even if Mei Hua was born into a wealthy family, she was dazzled by these silver at the moment.

Wang Wuyan, who was standing next to Gao Yuan, smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. He has taken over the original inner library of Jicheng, but unfortunately the inner library has long been empty, and now there are finally some silver taels that press the bottom of the library. With money, I have a lot of confidence in my heart.

The silver handover was clear, the Qin army began to retreat as promised, the first to withdraw was Fengcheng, and then the Qin army and the Zhengdong army advanced and retreated, the two sides cooperated tacitly, the Qin army just withdrew from an occupied city, and in less than an hour, the troops of the Zhengdong Army would be ready to appear and control the city.

The efficiency of the actions of both sides was extremely high, and in just half a month, the Qin army withdrew from more than 30 county towns in Wei under its control, and the Zhengdong Army then moved in. The Yellow Dragon Banner that had just been made out flew high in these newly occupied lands. Before the people of Wei had time to rejoice in the departure of the Qin army, they were shocked by this brand new banner that they had never seen before.

The Qin army left, but the Wei army did not come.

When the large-scale retreat of the Qin army was transmitted to the capital of Wei, the whole court rejoiced, before Wu Qi scavenged two million taels of silver to send to the Eastern Army, which caused a lot of criticism, but now, the criticism was swept away, and money can make the ghost grind, and the Eastern Army that took the money was really brave, even the Qin army was overwhelmed by the wind, running faster than a rabbit, and a large area of the country was recovered by the Eastern Army, if you count on the Wei people themselves, don't say two million taels of silver, even if it is 20 million taels, it may not be able to take food out of the mouth of the Qin people!

For a while, Wu Qi's prestige was in full swing, the beams were full of lights, celebrating the victory, and the Wei officials who had fled from those occupied territories had also begun to pack up and prepare to return to their hometowns to receive the lost territories.

However, when the first Wei official, who was full of joy and returned to his hometown to accept the local administration, was ruthlessly expelled by the Eastern Army, the Wei people finally realized that something was wrong. The Eastern Army occupied the place where the Qin State spit out, but it did not inform the Wei people, let alone hand them over.

"Say, what did the stationed Eastern Army say?" Wu Qi glared at the county official who had been expelled. The general you saw?"

The county official looked aggrieved, he didn't see any general at all, and the other party didn't see him at all, just at the gate of the county seat, a few soldiers guarding the city heard that they were county officials of the Wei Dynasty, and immediately turned their faces, if they didn't run fast, they were afraid that they would be poked in the ass.

The other party does not recognize the identity of these people at all.

Wu Qi felt that something was wrong. But he still mustered the greatest courage, and regarded this as a single matter, the result of a lack of communication between the two sides, and sent an envoy to Jicheng while patiently waiting for the reply of other officials who had gone to accept the local power.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and without exception, those officials were either unceremoniously expelled back, or they were left aside and ignored at all, let alone taking back the management of the place, and even their every move, word and deed were closely monitored by the Eastern Army.

Wu Qi finally understood what was going on, the typical front door drove the wolf, and the back door entered the tiger, and what was even more painful was that this tiger actually spent hundreds of taels of silver to invite himself. It's easy to please God, and it's hard to send God, and the Eastern Army is ready to swallow these places in one bite.

Cheering up, Wu Qi went to Jicheng again to ask to see Gao Yuan.

Yan Shenghao once again approached the haggard face of the first assistant of the Wei State.

"Wu Xiang, the Governor already knows about the unhappiness that has happened between us recently, but you also know that the Governor is really busy now, so he entrusted me to give some explanations to Wu Xiang." Yan Shenghao said unhurriedly.

"We are grateful for your help in expelling the Qin army, and we are ready to thank you with the greatest sincerity." Wu Qi said with difficulty: "Our country has agreed that we are ready to raise another five million taels of silver to thank the generous help of the Eastern Army this time, but Yan Yizheng, you also know the current situation of our Wei State, if we can't recover the lost land in time and collect taxes in these places again, it will be difficult for us to get together this money for a while!"

Yan Shenghao coughed dryly, five million taels of silver, it did make him salivate, but think about it again, no matter how good the silver is, there will always be a time when it will be spent, and with land and population, that is the endless way to make money. R1152
