Chapter 40: The Emperor Doesn't Beat Hungry Soldiers

Although he knew that a person like Fu Cha would definitely become a constraint for him to seize the Great Song Dynasty, and maybe one day he would have to kill Fu Cha with his own hands, but for a person like Fu Cha with backbone, Cai still admired it, and he couldn't feel the slightest bit of bad feelings.

Therefore, after Fu Chaxiao's mobilization with reason and emotion, Cai still said directly: "Master Fu doesn't need to say it anymore, although my Jinwuwei army has been established for less than three months, this is not a reason for me not to send troops, I will put a sentence here, as long as the grain and grass are ready, I can immediately lead the troops to set off." ”

After listening to Cai Ying's statement, Fu Cha, who had a bad impression of Cai Ying because of Cai Jing's relationship, suddenly felt that Cai was still worthy of being a scholar, sensible, and understanding of righteousness.

Thinking about it again, Cai Bian is still Cai Bian's son, not Cai Jing's son, Cai Bian is a very backbone scholar, unlike Cai Jing, who only knows how to persuade the official family to be extravagant and wasteful, increase the arrogance and lasciviousness of the official family, and corrupt the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, Fu Cha also heard his uncle Zhao Mingcheng (that is, Zhao Tingzhi's third son) say that Cai Ying's literary literacy is extremely high, and can even be compared to Li Du, even his sister-in-law Li Qingzhao, whose literary literacy is rarely matched in the world, also thinks so.

Therefore, Fu Cha changed his previous attitude and said with a pleasant face: "Ziyin really understands righteousness!" ”

Cai still said: "It's just dutiful." ”

These simple four words made Fu Cha feel that Cai was still good.

Fu Cha asked again: "How many horses do you have, and how many can you dispatch?" ”

Cai still replied: "Four hundred infantry troops and one hundred horse troops can be dispatched. ”

Fu Cha thought that Cai was still strong, and said: "Ziyin doesn't have to hide it from me, everyone knows the difficulties of the forbidden army, and Lord Zeng wants to arrange troops, and he also needs to know the real troops, otherwise it is easy to make a big mistake." ”

It's no wonder that Fu Cha thinks so, he has come all the way, and the armies are unwilling to send out the army, not to mention, even if they are willing to send out the army, they are no more than two or three out of ten, and if they command the men and horses, they can send out two hundred, which is already very good, how can anyone be dispatched in full.

Cai still understood the situation of the forbidden army, so he explained: "My situation here is different from other armies, because it is a newly formed army, and my soldiers and horses here have no other tasks, so they can all be dispatched." ”

Listening to Cai Ying's explanation, Fu Chaxin said: "He is Cai Jing's nephew, those moths may not dare to drink his blood, so he can get enough military sound, and since he has abandoned literature and martial arts, he is bound to want to make a difference in martial arts, so that he is really likely to recruit enough soldiers and bravery, and can dispatch five hundred military horses." ”

Thinking of this, Fu Cha immediately changed his words and said, "Zi Yin has solved Lord Zeng's urgent need!" ”

Cai still said: "This is my business. ”

Cai still changed his tone and said: "There is no problem for me to send troops here, but because our Jin Wuwei is a new trip, the armor, especially the war horse and the divine arm bow, is seriously insufficient, as for the opening fee......

Glancing at Zhao Kai, whose face had sunk, Cai still slaughtered him fiercely and said, "I owe Jin Wuwei the military sound before, so I have to make up for it this time, right?" In addition, I don't know how long this battle will last, so I will advance half a year's military salary first, and refund more and make up for less. ”

Cai still said this, and the central idea is actually just one word - want.

Cai is still not sitting on the ground, no matter what era, it is, as soon as the cannon goes off, there are 10,000 taels of gold.

No money, what kind of war?

And Cai is still not short of money, but this is not for Cai to fight for himself, but for the Northern Song Dynasty to suppress bandits, this money can't be Cai still himself, right?

Take a step back and say, even if Cai is still willing to go out by himself, Zhao Ji still doesn't do it, what's the matter, you don't need money to fight, you want to rebel?

Therefore, it is reasonable for Cai to still have to reach out and ask for it.

Moreover, not only do you have to stretch out your hand to ask for it, but you have to ask for more, otherwise, not only will you treat yourself badly, but others will also be suspicious of you.

Seeing that Cai was still a lion with a big mouth, not only Zhao Kai's face was not good-looking, but Fu Cha also frowned.

This may also be one of the reasons why the literati did not like the warriors, because they were always so insatiable.

But if you want to say no, the emperor is not a hungry soldier, and he doesn't give people enough grain and grass to carry weight, how can you tell people to fight?

Seeing that the two sides were at an impasse, Jiang Xingzu came out to play a round and said, "Ziyin, you want too much, in this hurry, where did you ask Lord Zhao to get you so many things?" ”

Cai still listened, smiled, and said: "If it were someone else, of course I wouldn't have this ability, but our Lord Zhao is the God of Zhao Wealth that everyone knows, and if he leaks a little bit between his fingers, he can make me feel at ease Jin Wuwei and send troops to defeat him." ”

Historically, Zhang Jun knew that the Privy Council had declared the Fu of Sichuan and Shu, and ordered Zhao Kai to be the transfer envoy of the army, set up money in Qinzhou, and minted copper coins in Xingzhou.

After that, Zhao Kai made a large number of money citations, bringing the number of money quotations to 41.9 million yuan, exceeding the limit by about 33 times.

However, unlike Zhao Ji's excessive issuance of money, which led to a large depreciation of money, although Zhao Kai issued a large number of banknotes, it did not cause inflation - Zhao Kai issued money in Sichuan and added silver silk as a preparation for the issuance of money. The government sold silver silk and allowed the people to use money to buy silver silk. The people needed to pay various taxes to the government, and Zhao Kai allowed the people to use money to pay them. Therefore, the measures taken by Zhao Kai ensured the stability of the value of money.

From these means, it is not difficult to see that Zhao Kai is a financial genius at this time, and he is the top one.

In addition, Zhao Kai is also a financial expert, with the reputation of "one step and one step can transport department stores, and one cough and spit can help the three armies".

Historically, in order to support the Sichuan-Shaanxi War against Jin, Zhao Kai racked his brains, and on the premise of not increasing the two agricultural taxes levied on land and assets, he reformed the tea, wine, and salt laws, and focused on collecting wealth on the three incomes of tea, salt and wine, and established Sichuan's wartime financial system with the tax revenue of tea, salt and wine as the pillar, and created new taxes such as exhortation and reward, increasing the money for serving the army, helping the army leader, exempting the transfer of rice and feet, and increasing the interest on salt and wine, so that the financial revenue of the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty increased sharply year after year, more than double that of the late Northern Song Dynasty, and the annual income reached more than 30 million yuan.

Let's put it this way, the land of Sichuan and Shu, including the Southern Song Dynasty, can be defended, Wu Jue is the hero on the surface, and Zhao Kai is the hero behind it.

Now, although Zhao Kai's talent has not yet been fully revealed, it has also been revealed.

In recent years, in Zhao Kai's governance, Yangwu County can be said to be the richest county in the vicinity, and there is no one.

This is also one of the reasons why Cai is still a lion with a big mouth.

Cai still said again: "I don't want much, but I want to fight with peace of mind, as long as I can successfully suppress the bandits and eliminate Song Jiang and his gang, we people, if one is counted as one, we will all be rewarded." ”

As for what Cai still said, he can exterminate Song Jiang and his gang, but everyone actually doesn't believe it - Song Jiang and his gang led the crowd to attack Heshuo and Jingdong East Road, and then fought between Qingzhou, Qizhou and Puzhou, and captured more than ten counties and towns, which is so easy to suppress, let alone Cai Yi, a hairy boy, can exterminate.

But the reality is that if Cai is not dealt with well, the Jin Wu army will have an excuse not to send troops.

Therefore, no one cares about Cai Ying's big words, and everyone only thinks about how to coax Cai still to lead the troops to the battle.

As for that, Cai still opened his mouth widely.

Easy to do.

There is a way that if you ask for a price all over the sky, you will pay back the money on the spot.

Zhao Kaijin bargained with Cai for a long time.

In the end, under the persuasion of Fu Cha and Jiang Xingzu, Cai still and Zhao Kai reached an agreement - money, Cai still does not want, in addition to the necessary grain and grass, Zhao Kai will prepare another 300 outrigger bows, sufficient crossbow arrows, and 100 war horses for Cai Zhen, and Cai will still lead the army to pull.
