In the past, a smoothbore gun only needed a dozen Hengyuan for a bargain, and a tattered second-hand item could even be obtained for a few Hengyuan.

But now, no matter how much you compress the cost, a Luo'an III rifle will cost more than 20 Hengyuan, and even if it is a smoothbore gun for modification, the cost of this modification will be several Hengyuan.

And the bullets used, the previous lead bullet or something was very cheap.

But now, the use of metal bullets that are brass shells, looking at this raw material, you know that it is not cheap, and the key consumption is still large.

Not to mention the shells, when a cannon is shot, it is not a shell, but gold!

Behind the sweep of the four states by the Daheng Unification Army is an almost astronomical amount of military spending!

To exaggerate, it is now difficult for the financial officials of the Marshal of Daheng Unification to calculate the huge military expenditures, because many expenditures are not cash expenditures, which are difficult to count, and during the war, especially on the front line, the system is actually still a bit chaotic.

However, just the cash that the Ministry of Finance took out, that is 500 million!

In order to raise the 500 million, the officials of the Ministry of Finance tried their best, but even so, the 500 million was not enough for the huge military expenditure.

After having the territory of the four states, various revenues such as taxes will increase significantly, and finally make up for the deficit.

At least the previous large-scale issuance of bank bonds can slowly replenish the deficit in the future, and there is no need to worry too much about the sharp depreciation of bank bonds, which will eventually lead to the collapse of the entire financial system.

After dealing with the defense of the whole body, Lin Ziran began to return from the south of Qingde City with the new title of Marshal of Daheng Unification.

Take a large number of people on the official river passenger ferry, go south along the Luo River, and return to Luohai City.

Although the Daheng Unification Army has occupied the territory of the four states, Nanhai Prefecture is still the foundation of Lin Ziran, and it is still the center of the entire group of the Daheng Unification Army.

At the same time, it is also the center of industrial and commercial and military production.

Of the four large arsenals under the command of Nanzhou Weapons Company, three are still located in Luohai City, and the remaining Zishengzhou No. 1 Machinery Bureau has been seriously damaged, and it is still difficult to restore the previous production capacity in the short term, that is to say, the main supply of weapons and ammunition for the current Daheng Unification Army still needs to rely on Luohaicheng's national defense industry system.

At this time, Lin Ziran still admired Duke Meng back then, and the defense industry system of Luohaicheng that he led the establishment of, although from the perspective of Nanhai Prefecture itself, far exceeded its actual needs, but if it was to start a unified war, if there was no such a huge national defense industrial production system in the rear, it would not be able to support it at all.

After returning to Luohai City with a vote of the high-ranking military and political officials, Lin Ziran once again devoted himself to heavy affairs, and now there are fewer military affairs, but there are more administrative affairs.

Official documents from all over the country, various departments are like snowflakes, constantly flying into the Marshal's Mansion, although there are many subordinate agencies to help deal with it, but many important matters still need to be handled and decided by Lin Ziran personally.

After returning, Lin Ziran held more than a dozen different meetings for three consecutive days, and constantly met with military generals, administrative officials, and even representatives of the gentry among ordinary people.

As for the processing of official documents, it is even more.

So much so that letting Lin Ziran return to Luohai City was even busier than when he was leading the troops to fight on the front line.

After five days of busy work, he sorted out many more important matters, but he still didn't have idle.

Since the sixth day, his itinerary is still very intensive, and he needs to inspect the three major arsenals, Luohai Iron and Steel Plant, Machinery Factory and other important enterprises, this kind of inspection is not an inspection, but more of a kind of condolence, personally to commend the technology and workers who have made outstanding contributions in some production fields.

Even if a lot of it is only superficial effort, but if there is no superficial effort, it will be too chilling.

In addition to the inspection, on the evening of the seventh day, Lin Ziran also held and held a dinner in the Marshal's Palace, in addition to military and political dignitaries, the main groups invited were the civilian gentry and some foreign envoys.

In fact, this kind of dinner is still superficial, and it is impossible to say that any major decisions have been made, but the main thing is to reveal to the outside world the confidence of the Marshal's Mansion and its expectations for the future, and encourage the outside world to maintain the confidence of the Marshal's Mansion and his confidence in Lin Ziran.

Let them know that he, Lin Ziran, has the ability and confidence to lead Daheng to reunification, and give corresponding rewards to those who support him Lin Ziran.

During the banquet, Lin Ziran also delivered a speech, which was not a lonely statement of ideals and a big pie, but a lot of data was taken out to prove the strength of the Daheng Unification Army and the many achievements of the Marshal's Mansion.

Use a lot of data to tell them that the achievements of the Daheng Unification Army are far from the end, and now it is just a starting point, and there will be greater achievements in the future of the Daheng Unification Army, what achievements?

Naturally, it is a unified Daheng!

To put it simply, now that the start-up company of Daheng Unification Army is thriving, you investors should not hesitate, hurry up and buy tickets to get on the bus, you are the one who loses late.

Listening to Lin Ziran's speech, applause frequently rang out in the banquet hall, whether it was military and political dignitaries, or old nobles, gentry and businessmen among the people, they all applauded continuously with smiles on their faces.

They are not just for Lin Ziran, but for the collective achievements of the Daheng Unification Army and the huge potential in the future!

Because, they are part of the system!

Not to mention the military and political dignitaries, all of them are the biggest beneficiaries of the Daheng unified army system.

Even those old aristocrats, private businessmen and even ordinary gentry bought tickets and got on the bus one after another a year ago, but they all contributed money and efforts to support the expansion of the Southern Navy at that time and the current Daheng Unification Army.

Otherwise, how do you think the more than 500 million yuan in cash and military spending in the past year came from?

On the surface, it comes from the financial department, but less than half of the more than 500 million yuan is taxed, and more than half of the official capital profit income is actually raised through the issuance of bank bonds and the sale of unified bonds.

Among them, the unified bond was sold for nearly 100 million Hengyuan!

This is quite a huge number, although it is sold by the Bank of Nanzhou, but someone has to pay real money to buy it, who buys it?

It is a large number of old aristocrats, private merchants, ordinary gentry and even ordinary burghers represented by these people in front of them.

They are not only buying these for the interest income of the unified bonds, the interest seems to be very high, but the risk is also very high, if this Lin Ziran is finished, these unified bonds will immediately become worthless.

They spent so much money to support Lin Ziran to launch a unified war, and naturally they could also get benefits, such as following the back of the army and entering the markets of various states.
