Chapter 52: The Wrath of the Hundred Chiefs
Just as Lin Mu and Ying Zhan were enjoying lunch with a group of soldiers, a two-horse carriage came straight from outside the camp tent of the training ground, and it didn't take long to drive into the camp.
Walking down from the carriage was Cao Yan, the head of the hundred divisions, wearing an official uniform with a majesty, Cao Yan looked at the food that the soldiers in the camp ate and drank, and he was anxious in his eyes.
"What about the king?" Cao Yan summoned a soldier and asked.
"The king is having a meal with the soldiers!" The armor said truthfully.
"What?" Cao Yan was shocked, and immediately became angry: "How can this be reasonable, Wang Shanggui is the king of a country, and his body is ten thousand gold, which is related to the country's social welfare, how can he eat such omnivorous food with Er's martial arts, how can it be ......?"
"Back... Back to the director of the hundred! This is the king's order, and the army strictly ordered ......" The armor soldier was scolded by the angry Cao Yan and did not dare to return the mouth loudly, and said weakly, but was interrupted by the angry Cao Yan: "Stop! Take me to the king! Why don't you come out and stop this bastard thing ......"
"Yes!"
Cao Yan, the director of the hundred divisions who was in a hurry, came to Lin Mu like this, and at a glance, Lin Mu really ate those things, Cao Yan was suddenly anxious, and immediately scolded Ying Zhan on the spot, Ying Zhan is the military leader here, naturally he is scolding, and the responsibility is also attributed to him.
At this time, Cao Yan seemed to be bold, and he won the battle one by one, and when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth, he was in danger of the country's public weapons and social security.
The soldiers who were counted down to win the battle couldn't say anything, and the soldiers everywhere bowed their heads and were silent, for fear of angering Director Bai who was in a state of "rampage".
For a while, Lin Mu pulled Cao Yan back to the big tent of Shuaiying.
"Although the king is sympathetic to the soldiers, he shouldn't be like this...... Cao Yan still couldn't stop saying: "The king is the king of a country, and it is related to the survival of the country and society, and the dignity and order are the ...... of ancient times."
"Okay, okay, Jiang Qing has to say it again, this is the meaning of the widow, don't blame General Bai." Lin Mu hurriedly stopped, "Let's talk about you, why did you come to the barracks?" ”
Cao Yan also felt that the number was almost down, such a number of falls are indeed very cool, supporting the lord and angrily saying that Lin Mu is also a means of showing loyalty, but it can't be overdone, it is not beautiful, so Cao Yan stopped with interest, and explained the reason for coming this time.
"Back to the king!" Cao Yan saluted, and immediately showed a wry smile, and said anxiously and helplessly: "The minister has never seen an army like the king who supplies meat for the soldiers every day and every meal, everyone is paid three or five stone per month, and the minister will be promoted to five stone grain per month in the future, and the king's expenses are enough to raise 50,000 elite soldiers!" ”
The implication is a huge waste, in the eyes of outsiders, Lin Mu's behavior is not only a waste, it is simply unheard of and unseen.
The country is in difficulty, the king has an edict, it is natural for the people to participate in the war, he is good, the moon and the moon are not counted, the government bears all the expenses in the army, and the food is so good, the news spreads, the soldiers under Ning Yuan's account have long been "dissatisfied" with the fighter battalion for a long time, they are also soldiers, the treatment is simply incomparable, everyone is following Lin Muming, how can they balance their hearts?
Cao Yan's thinking pattern naturally cannot be compared with Lin Mu.
"Jiang Qing's words are wrong!" Lin Mu explained: "There are not many soldiers but they are expensive, if the soldiers are not satisfied, how can they fight?" The soldiers are skinny, why do they have no strength to charge into battle? Why do you kill the enemy? Why is the Qin army not afraid of death? It is the law of Qin to reward cultivation and warfare, causing the Qin people to fight bravely and take meritorious service as their own responsibility, why are the Qin people strong? Don't the Qin people know that people will die if the muzzle of a gun pierces the hall? Of course, the Qin people know, and the Qin people know that there will be rewards for bravely killing the enemy, and the Qin people will reward military merits to strengthen the soldiers, and those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who are guilty will be punished heavily! ”
"Does Jiang Qing know the reason why the soldiers who were expelled today for violating military law would rather be beaten with sticks than leave? What army of soldiers in the following countries would be like this? Why? Jiang Qing thought that the sergeants of the fighter battalion under my account would go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, and there were those who were afraid of war? ”
After a series of questions, Cao Yan was speechless, and he couldn't speak, Cao Yan, who didn't know the art of war, and the questioner was the monarch of the Jin State, and his own top boss was even more speechless, and he finally said after holding back for a long time: "What the king said is true, however, it may be possible to train unstoppable brave warriors, which is indeed a huge consumption, and the large amount of grain and grass and its 100,000 gold obtained from the hands of Liang State this time have been consumed by nearly half, and the treasury can only last for half a year, and the Jin State ...... I can't afford to raise such a costly army, my lord! ”
Your Majesty, you really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are!
"The Jin Kingdom can afford it!" Lin Mu said without hesitation, such an oath made Cao Yan, the director of the Bai Division, who wanted to cry without tears, stunned.
"Half a year is enough!" Lin Mu said again, and at the same time calculated in his heart, with the current treasury and taxes of the Jin State, according to this method for a long time, even if it is difficult to raise 5,000 troops, but as long as the upper and lower powers of the Jin State are unified, and the nobles of Sun and Ning, who are abolished and professionally owned, it must be an unimaginable wealth.
After copying these fat and oily Qing family backgrounds, are you afraid that you won't have money to spend?
Jin Guo is already seriously ill, Lin Mu's determination to take fierce medicine has never changed, not to break or stand, to break and then stand, because of this, it is even more necessary to practice his fists more strongly.
"Jiang Qing doesn't need to worry too much, the widow naturally understands what he is doing, this is the priority of rewarding and strengthening the army, and then it is to encourage farmers and merchants to enrich the country!" Lin Mu said.
"Motivate businessmen?" Cao Yan's eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Mu in surprise, this sentence is really too impactful, since ancient times, all the countries in the world have valued agriculture and suppressed business, and the status of farmers and businessmen is at the bottom.
Lin Mu's words undoubtedly had a powerful shock to Cao Yan, who was born as a businessman, and Cao Yan was both looking forward to and apprehensive about where the Jin Kingdom would go in the future, because he couldn't find the answer to where the Jin Kingdom would go.
It's hard to figure out.
"The king wants to encourage the Jin people to do business?" Cao Yan couldn't help but ask.
Lin Muyan, who saw a smile on his face, said: "The Jin Kingdom is located in the middle of the world, industry and commerce are prosperous, the widow wants to revitalize commerce and improve the status of merchants, and there are many businessmen in the Jin land, and the widows intend to use the hands of merchants to collect the wealth of the kingdom under the world in the Jin land, so can the country be rich?" ”
It is time for the Qing family, which has ruled for a thousand years, to withdraw from the trend of history, and there will inevitably be a vacancy in the social structure of the Qing family, and a new group is always needed to replace it, and businessmen are one of the replacements.
