When he mentioned this question, Tang Yishun suddenly showed a look of difficulty, and seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Seeing Li Xinchen's gaze drifting over, Tang Yishun took a deep breath: "General Qiyu, there is not much money left. ”

"Oh?" Li Xinchen was obviously a little surprised by this result.

He didn't mind the money spent by the officials under his command, but he had to know where it was going.

Spending money and spending money indiscriminately are two concepts, Li Xinchen didn't expect Tang Yishun to be able to spit out a steady stream of gold ingots, so spending money is certain, but Shuzhong has always been the country of abundance, although it has gone through wars and disasters before, but the treasury is not poor and white, and everyone has to leave some guarantees to deal with unexpected needs, not to mention the strong support of the major families, especially the Xiajiang Tang family, almost gambling the family's savings, if it is said that the expenditure is almost the same, then Li Xinchen must ask clearly.

Tang Yishun said in a deep voice: "Whether it is the construction of the workshop, the repair of the city, or the recruitment of the army or even the construction of farming tools, a certain amount of money is required. However, Shuxia believes that since the money has been invested, it will definitely be rewarded in the near future, and according to the general's orders, these things have to be done, and it is better to let the money rot in the treasury than to let it benefit the people. ”

After a pause, Tang Yishun was still a little embarrassed and said: "However, the general is out on a campaign, and his subordinates are worried that the general does not understand the actual situation of Bashu, and the news exchange is slow, so after discussing with everyone in Shuzhong, he made an argument and asked the general to forgive him." In addition, there is very little money left in the treasury, and I am afraid that there is no way to provide more military salaries for the army in a short period of time, and if it involves the safety of Bashu, the subordinates are willing to be responsible. ”

While speaking, Tang Yishun had already stood up, and he had the intention of kneeling directly on the ground to ask for guilt, no matter what, this matter was his final decision, and naturally there was no reason to shrink back at this time.

Tang Yishun is so nervous, Li Xinchen is embarrassed, after all, he gave power to these people when he left, and everyone's interests are the same, so Li Xinchen doesn't need to worry about their loyalty, not to mention that Li Xinchen has already arranged the specific direction when he left, and the remaining details are actually not too much to ask even if Li Xinchen is in Bashu, he must give his subordinates enough space for development and let them display their talents- Of course, you can also relieve yourself of a little pressure, and this purpose sometimes occupies the main position.

Therefore, even if Tang Yishun and others did something that was not too out of line, Li Xinchen would not blame them, not to mention that Li Xinchen asked them to do so many things, if they did it if they didn't spend money, then Li Xinchen would have to think about it.

Seeing that the general's face did not seem to show an unhappy look, Tang Yishun and Xu Deyan were a little surprised. For Tang Yishun, it is impossible to do what Li Xinchen ordered when he left without spending money, and he can control the money to the point that there is no one left without spending, in fact, he has tried his best, but even so, he is still ready to be punished by the general, in any case, this is the responsibility that he did not plan well and did not ask for instructions.

Li Xinchen laughed: "The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, you did the right thing." ”

The tense atmosphere in the council hall was suddenly eased a little, and Li Xinchen said in a deep voice: "If this money is piled up in the treasury, then it can only be reassuring, but if it can be spent, and every bit is spent on the blade, then it is really a peaceful place." We should not be afraid to spend money, as Baekhyun just said, as long as we can get it back in the future, then what we spend now is worth it. ”

Li Xinchen's point of view obviously surprised Tang Yishun and Xu Deyan.

It seems that the general does not like to save money?

Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and knocked on the table: "In history, the rule of Wenjing has accumulated so much wealth, but it is still repeatedly oppressed by the Huns on the border, and the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has shown his might, although the savings of the rule of Wenjing have been squandered a lot, but what is the result, the Huns have fled three thousand miles away, and since then the Han Dynasty has no worries about the north, and can gather China's strength to rectify internal affairs, open up the Western Regions and the Silk Road, introduce foreign wealth, and enrich the people of China." Therefore, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was poor, he was still a generation of emperors admired by later generations. ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen's eyes fell on Xu Deyan and Tang Yishun: "Now the two of you are about to take charge of Hanzhong and the northwest, and the other is in charge of the confidants of Bashu, the financial sector must establish the concept of 'dare to spend money', as long as we plan well in advance and let the money be spent properly, then we don't have to worry about lack of money." The money we spend will only bring us more profits, so that we will have more money to use in the following year, and the extra money can be converted into military salaries, transportation of grain and grass, and so on, so that the war will not affect the development of civil affairs, so that it is better than piling up all the money in the treasury. ”

Although Tang Yishun and Xu Deyan are both well-educated people, Li Xinchen's somewhat advanced financial ideas really make them a little difficult to accept, but the two of them are still vaguely aware of the truth and surrender together:

"Subordinates obey."

And Li Xinchen exhaled softly, he didn't expect them to be able to easily etiquette the financial ideas of a thousand years later, after all, even if they were descendants, if they were beginners, they would probably need to react for a long time. Therefore, Li Xinchen still has to tell them what to do now, and let them implement it step by step according to their own arrangements.

However, this also reminded Li Xinchen that now Bashu is no longer the small group that struggles to survive in the cracks of the troubled times, so the war should not play an absolutely important role in the decision-making of the entire group, at least he should spare more time and energy to focus on people's livelihood and economic construction, and from another point of view, money can not only support the continuation of the war, but also itself is a weapon of war.

When the enemy's economy is crushed, there is no need for the war to continue.

In particular, the backwardness of Tang Yishun and others' economic thinking made Li Xinchen have to focus on economic development, especially how to stimulate the economic transformation of Bashu, farming is very important, but it cannot just be farming, especially the rich minerals and forests in Bashu and Nanzhong, which makes Li Xinchen have the capital to develop primary industry.

It seems that it is time to continue to take some measures to stimulate economic development.
