I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch.

Perhaps, this is what Shi Lang wants to express, right? Wu Zheng sighed in his heart.

Wu Zheng and Zhang Mingzhen looked at Shi Lang quietly and listened to Shi Lang crying.

After a long time, Shi Lang was tired of crying, he got up from the ground, threw his hand at Wu Zheng, and then turned to Zhang Mingzhen.

"Shi has no virtue, resign to the prince and the chief soldier."

Zhang Mingzhen glanced at Wu Zheng and said to Shi Lang urgently: "You ...... What do you mean by that? ”

Shi Lang said in a deep voice: "The Ming Lord is hard to find, it is better to go back!" ”

Wu Zheng suddenly opened his mouth and mocked: "Huai Cai is not met, why don't you descend to the clear?!" ”

Shi Lang finally broke out, and he roared suddenly: "So that the prince knows that if Shi is cleared, five thunderbolts will strike the top...... God hates it! ”

Wu Zheng smiled, he nodded, returned to his seat, and said, "Shame and courage, kindness!" But guarding the last bottom line in his heart is the real warrior...... General Shi, the Zhoushan Water Division will be handed over to you, I hope you don't lose this king, a hard work! ”

Shi Lang was stunned.

Zhang Mingzhen [fo] laughed.

The first task Shi Lang received was to move the Zhoushan Shui Division to Jiangpu and block the Yangtze River.

……。

Wu Zheng knew that Mo Zhi would come.

If you don't come, it's weird!

"Lord Wang, it's not that the old man opposes the war between the prince and the Qing court, it's just ......."

Wu Zheng interrupted: "Mo Lao doesn't need to explain, if you can't even believe it, who else can this king trust?" Let's just put it bluntly, what's the difficulty. ”

Mo Zhi nodded and said: "Transferring Zhu Wei to cross the river to the north, it stands to reason that there is a need to pay a fee, and one person has to pay at least three months' salary, right?" The prince mobilized more than 60,000 people, that is, 700,000 or 800,000 taels, and this is not counting the water masters...... Now the railway is a bottomless pit, and it has to be filled with 200,000 or 300,000 taels every month...... A military workshop was destroyed and needed to be rebuilt, and the casualties needed to be compensated...... The prince still dismissed the old director on the spot! ”

Mo Obsession smiled bitterly.

Wu Zheng knew that Mo Zhinian was telling the truth, although he occupied more land in Taizhou, Taixing, and Gegao than before, and the population under his jurisdiction increased by four or five million, but this tax did not increase, so he had to give some preferential treatment to the people of the recovered land, right?

Wu Zheng waved his hand at that time and was exempt from taxes for two years.

Well, there is a lot of land and population, but it is not affordable.

In addition, the army has expanded to 200,000, which is not a small number, and the general's palace has a population of more than 15 million and an army of 200,000, not counting the inherent guards of the naval division, the chief forest guard, the secretary of justice, the financial secretary, and the soldiers under the jurisdiction of each government.

This number is indeed not small, otherwise it would be suspected of being reckless.

If it weren't for Wu Zheng's "way to make money", the Financial Secretary would have been unable to support it a long time ago.

Who knows, Wu Zheng's first sentence was: "Mo Lao might as well ask, if the Weaving Bureau has any silver, they will come faster than me." ”

Don't be obsessed.

Also, after all, the world is that the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist and the female protagonist is inside, which family is not responsible for making money and taking it home?

How can a woman in the family earn money to supplement the man's hole filling?

Mo Zhinian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not easy for the princesses, the stall of the Weaving Bureau is much larger, and there are more than 20,000 people to feed...... From time to time, some are appropriated to fill the hole of the Financial Secretary, and at this time, if you want to return 100,000 or 200,000, it will take millions, I am afraid it will not be easy! ”

Wu Zheng was silent for a while, scratched the back of his neck and said, "Then Mo Lao has a good way?" ”

This is nonsense, if you have a good way, will you still come to you?

Of course, Mo Obsession didn't dare to be so topped, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Or, the railway will slow down first?" There are also four warships under construction in the dock that are also slowly ...... In this way, if you get together from the weaving bureau, you may be able to squeeze out the opening fee. ”

Wu Zheng shook his head decisively and said, "No! Both of these things are about the situation of the war and must not be stopped...... Mo Lao, we can't be poor and short-minded, and do that thing of killing chickens and taking eggs! ”

Don't be obsessed and speechless, what does it mean to be poor and short-minded?

Dare to love, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, don't you?

It's already poor enough, and it's not too short-sighted.

Mo Zhinian thought about it again and said, "Then there is only one way." ”

Wu Zheng's eyes lit up, don't be obsessed with everything, but there is a habit of working the same way as Ma Shiying, that is, he often puts the feasible method at the end.

After you have decided on the solution one by one, okay, you will tell you what is possible.

It seems that only in this way does it seem that they are omnipotent, as if they are indispensable, Wu Zheng is used to it.

Mo Zhinian hesitated for a moment and said: "Before, the Qing court purchased muskets and artillery from our side, and paid a deposit of 800,000 taels in advance...... This seizure can also make up for the cost of this allocation. ”

Wu Zheng slapped his thigh and said, "Good idea...... That's it! It's all at war, so what's the credibility? Is it still not an enemy? ”

Mo said helplessly: "But this thing ...... It was jointly guaranteed by the two priests John Tang and Wei Kuangguo, in case it was ....... ”

Wu Zheng retracted the smile on his face and fell silent.

This is indeed problematic, if it is only for the Qing court, as Wu Zheng said, since they are all at war, what morality is there to talk about?

There is no morality in war, and if you want to be reasonable, you will speak at the muzzle of the gun and the muzzle.

But the two priests John Tang and Wei Kuangguo jointly vouched, so it was not just a matter of the two people, behind them was the European Holy See.

In this way, it can affect credibility and cause unforeseen consequences.

Wu Zheng thought about it carefully and said, "Ignore them, wait for them to come to me...... At the beginning of the war, the muskets and artillery in the agreement naturally could not be delivered to the Qing court, and it was a big deal to wait for the two to come to the door and hand over the muskets and artillery in the contract to them for temporary safekeeping. ”

Mo Zhinian frowned and said: "But now the guns that the prince promised to the Great Western Army have not yet landed?" If the war starts and the prince withholds the Qing court's 800,000 deposits, the Qing court will definitely counteract and cut off iron ore and other materials from the north...... In this way, I am afraid that the military workshop will be short of raw materials. ”

"You mean, give this batch of guns to Li Dingguo first?"

"Maybe this is the only way to avoid causing military workshops to be unable to manufacture enough guns on time due to a shortage of raw materials."

"That's right. Instead of letting Tang Ruowang and Wei Kuangguo keep the rust, it is better to give Li Dingguo a help, and he can also share some pressure for me. Wu Zheng pondered: "It's just that as soon as the war starts, the westward transport team of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce will also be interrupted by the Qing army, and the Qing court will not let the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce transport materials, how to deal with it?" ”

Mo Zhinian shook his head and said, "Then ...... The Great Western Army could only be allowed to go to Huguang by itself. ”

Wu Zheng couldn't think of a good way, so he had to take care of the war in front of him first, and he could only say sorry to Li Dingguo, who was thousands of miles away.
