Chapter 110: Rich
The house was in an uproar.
What happened in Shanglin Yuan at that time was given the strictest gag order by Liu Che.
So apart from the people present, the others didn't know that Tang Qi had contributed telescopes and other things.
It is also for the sake of secrecy, you have been going back and forth between Han and Hungary for decades, and you have long buried countless nails in each other.
Even Liu Che can only guarantee that among the officials standing in the hall of the early dynasty, there will be no spies buried by the Huns.
Further down, there is nothing that can be done.
If you don't give a gag order, today Tang Qi will contribute the telescope, and tomorrow the Huns' spies will pass on the information!
Even Tang Qi, who has repeatedly contributed to the Great Han, will be assassinated.
This is something that Liu Che never wants to see!
The effect of the gag order was so good that when Liu Che casually said this emotion, most of the ministers in the palace were confused.
What contribution can Donch have to contribute to counterinsurgency?
Is it food?
Most of the ripe grain that can be brought back has long been distributed to various places to help the victims or to reward the border troops.
There are not many left in the inner house.
"Also, pass on the decree and give the soldiers who died in the counterinsurgency a settling-in allowance according to their rank. At least not less than one penny, all to five baht! ”
"For meritorious soldiers, in addition to rewarding the title, double the reward for the title! Rewarded! ”
"As for Gongsun He, Huo Quzhi and others, it will be handed over to the prime minister and the general to discuss the merits!"
Liu Che was overjoyed, and he didn't pay attention to the confusion of the courtiers below.
In just a few days, the rebels were broken, and the father and son of Liu An, the king of Huainan, were captured, which can be called an unprecedented crushing victory!
You know, it is known as a rich and rival country, with tens of thousands of strong soldiers!
The political significance is far greater than the military gains!
All the ministers knelt down one after another, and the mountain shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty! ”
No matter what thoughts they had about the emperor's favor Tang Qi, at least at this time, everyone had a deeper awe of Liu Che today.
In particular, the ministers who secretly had dealings with other princes and kings were even more frightened, and they were determined to go back and blow away the messenger of King XX, so as not to bring unwarranted disasters.
After this battle, the impact of the Seven Kings Rebellion will be completely wiped out, and the princes and kings will no longer dare to think about the throne!
Liu Che was also complacent in the face of the ministers who worshipped.
But not everyone can be happy with this battle wholeheartedly.
Prime Minister Sun Hong stood up with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, is the reward you give to the soldiers too much?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Li Guang had a violent temper, and his eyes immediately widened, "If it weren't for the soldiers fighting to the death outside, it would be your turn to sit here and talk coolly?!" ”
Gongsun Hong said angrily: "I didn't mean that! ”
"What does that mean! Don't you just don't want to give money? Li Guang relied on his qualifications and didn't take Gongsun Hong in his eyes at all, "You eat and drink spicy food in Chang'an, and your majesty is not allowed to add some compensation to the brothers who died in battle?" That's what they paid for with their lives! ”
Su Jian and the others were moved, and they all looked at Gongsun Hong angrily.
Tang Qi also immediately understood why Li Guang was lost wherever he went in the field, but he had a high prestige in the army and the DPRK.
For example, now, due to Gongsun Hong's qualifications, several young generals can only swallow their anger.
Even Wei Qing can't scold Gongsun Hong directly, at most, he will only find the Son of Heaven to speak after the next dynasty, and will not lose the face of the prime minister in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.
Li Guang doesn't care about this!
If you want to scold Lao Tzu, you can scold, whether you are a prime minister or a general!
For a knife head to lick the blood, there is no more charming character.
Of course, if you want to ask a low-level officer whether he would follow Wei Qing or Li Guang, most of them would definitely choose Wei Qing.
Because there is a battle with the general, you can win the battle, and the meritorious promotion is close at hand!
Compared with actual interests, although Li Guang's personality charm is strong, it is a pity that the version can no longer keep up with the times, and not being good at grassland field warfare is his biggest flaw.
Now in this year, Your Majesty sends troops deep into the grassland every year, how much credit can you get from just defending the city?
Back to the present.
After Gongsun Hong was sprayed by Li Guang, his face became very ugly.
"General Li, you said that the soldiers should be rewarded for fighting for life and death, and the official has no objection, but where does the money come from?"
"The Huns have been on the border every year, military spending has risen again and again, and natural disasters have continued to occur in various places, and the treasury has long been empty enough to run mice! If it weren't for the large agricultural order to bring a lot of food, I don't know how many people would starve to death this year! ”
"You persuade Your Majesty to reward the soldiers with a lot of money, what about the money, will you come out?!"
"You!" Li Guang was annoyed and ashamed, "Making money is the business of the Great Agricultural Order, if you don't have enough money, you should ask the Great Agricultural Order, what kind of ability is it to deduct the bereavement pension!" ”
Tang Qi was innocently shot and was very helpless.
Regarding Li Guang's complaints, Tang Qi, who is familiar with history, is very sympathetic.
But Gongsun Hong is talking about practical problems.
No money is no money, and there is no money when it comes to flowers!
It's just that I didn't expect that after less than half a month as a big farmer, I would have to take the blame for the emptiness of the treasury?
"Ahem!"
Of course, Liu Che couldn't let Tang Qi take the blame, and the former Danong Ling had already been sent to the frontier to atone for his sins because of his unfavorable affairs.
"Don't quarrel with the prime minister and General Li, I have made up my mind, and the reward must not be deducted!"
Gongsun Hong was anxious: "But Your Majesty, the treasury really has no money!" ”
"Who said there was no money?" Liu Che waved his hand, "The treasury has no money, but I have money!" Besides, who said that the treasury has no money now, and it will also have no money when the army triumphs? ”
"Isn't that right?"
"Huh?" Tang Qi was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said with a smile, "Yes, there will always be money in the treasury." Dare to ask the prime minister and the general, how much money does it cost to compensate the army? ”
Wei Qing stood up: "There are more than 30,000 soldiers on this expedition, including the county soldiers. According to the law of the imperial court, the soldiers of the county were supported by the local treasury and did not need to be paid by the imperial court. ”
He is a great general, and of course the number of troops who go out to battle each time is clear.
"As for the battle damage, General Gongsun has not yet reported it, and according to Qing's experience, it should be roughly around 1,000 people."
"Humph!" Gongsun Hong asked, "According to the battle loss of 1,000 people, each person will hang five baht, which is a total of one million dollars." Even if it is replaced with cloth, it will take no less than hundreds of thousands of horses, and the big farmer Ling is really good at immortal arts, and he can make money out of thin air! ”
Liu Che's complexion changed.
Millions of dollars, coupled with the rewards of the soldiers who survived their meritorious service, are indeed a great burden on the treasury.
Even if there is Dahan Department Store, it is impossible to make so much money in a short time, right?
Liu Che regretted it a little.
