Chapter 667: Terrifying Military Spending
"Tell me, did you use some witchcraft on me? Otherwise, how could I ...... in my heart How could I not want to kill you! Wu Qian asked Liu Ji viciously, and at this time, the rope on Wu Qian's body had been untied by Liu Ji.
Liu Ji is very confident in the system, since the system says that Wu Qian has been sincerely loyal to him, so Liu Ji is not worried that Wu Qian will be unfavorable to him at all.
"Hehe, this means that you are destined to be my woman!" Liu Ji said proudly.
"Hmph, do you want to say it?"
"How dare you treat me with such an attitude, it seems that I haven't subdued you yet, so let's continue!" After Liu Ji finished speaking, he pressed on Wu Qian's body again......
Liu Ji learned from Wu Qian that it turned out that the reason why they, the female disciples of Kunlun Mountain, could have the strength of peerless generals was because they had cultivated the internal strength of the Guanghan Palace, and in addition, they often took the special secret medicine of Kunlun Mountain was also an important reason.
In addition to Wu Qian, the other twenty-six beautiful elders of Kunlun Mountain also have the strength of peerless generals, and among them, ten of them have a charm value of more than ninety points, and the remaining sixteen people have a charm value of more than eighty points.
And these twenty-six beautiful elders, as well as the third elder of Kunlun Mountain, Li Yong, and the two male elders, like Wu Qian, were also stunned by the special effect of Heishuitai's sweat medicine, and now these twenty-six beautiful elders of Kunlun Mountain have also been sent to the palace of Canglong City.
After Liu Ji forcibly took possession of the other twenty-six beautiful elders of Kunlun Mountain, it was equivalent to completing twenty-six hidden tasks to subdue the peerless fierce generals, and Liu Ji received a total of two hundred and ninety-six groups of backing army system rewards from these twenty-six beautiful elders.
Li Yong, the third elder of Kunlun Mountain, and the two male elders, of course, did not have the treatment of those beautiful elders, Liu Ji fed the three of them, and one of them fed a puppet pill, so that the number of puppet bodyguards with peerless military strength in the Han Royal Guard increased by three more, reaching one hundred and sixty-three.
Liu Ji also received twenty-four groups of back-to-back armies from the three new puppet bodyguards, plus the systematic rewards from Wu Qian and other twenty-seven beautiful elders of Kunlun Mountain, Liu Ji obtained a total of three hundred and thirty groups of back-to-back armies and one group of Yanyun cavalry from the group of assassins in Kunlun Mountain.
Liu Ji then only summoned 300 Yanyun cavalry to the real world, making the number of Yanyun cavalry of the Han Royal Guard reach 2,980 people.
The three hundred and thirty groups of Beiwei Army are also 330,000 Beiwei Army soldiers, and Liu Ji is ready to summon these three hundred and thirty groups of Beiwei Army, but now the 600,000 Beiwei Army, under the leadership of the commander Lan Yu, has rushed to the border area between Dahan and Lu to station, so Liu Ji is not in a hurry to summon the 306 groups of Beiwei Army to the real world.
On June 12, the 2nd year of the Han Dynasty, in a palace in the Imperial Palace of Canglong City of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He, the chief lieutenant of the household department, said to Liu Ji: "Your Majesty, although the treasury of our Han is full now, the scale of our Han army is too huge, fourteen main army corps, plus twelve elite troops, and one hundred and thirty state garrisons, our Han army has exceeded 35 million, so that the monthly military expenditure is as high as 8 million taels of gold, which is converted into 160 million taels of silver. This is too much pressure on our Han finances. ”
At this time, in the palace, in addition to Xiao He, the chief lieutenant of the household department, the other five lieutenants of the Han court, Zhang Liang, the chief lieutenant of the military department, Zhang Juzheng, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, Chen Ping, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Rites, Cui Hao, the chief lieutenant of the criminal department, and Guo Jia, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Works, are also here.
As soon as Xiao He, the chief lieutenant of the household department, finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, continued: "Your Majesty, the income of our officials at all levels of the Han Dynasty will not be able to use five million taels of gold a year, and the current military expenditure of our Han Dynasty is too high, which is really too scary, and in the long run, the treasury of our Han Dynasty will be emptied sooner or later." ”
Zhang Liang, the captain of the military department, said at this time: "The scale of our Han army of 35 million is indeed a bit scary, but there are also many enemies around our Han Dynasty, according to the intelligence of Heishuitai, the Lu State alone has reorganized 20 main army corps and 30 ordinary legions, which is 18 million people, if you add the more than 10 million troops of the Europa Empire on the Western Continent, as well as the tens of millions of cavalry of the various tribes in the grassland, and the 100,000 armies of the Eastern Barbarian tribes in the mountains, the strength of our Han army is actually at a disadvantage, it's better not to disarm for the time being! ”
Liu Ji frowned and asked Xiao He, the chief lieutenant of the household department, "How much money does the treasury still have?" ”
Xiao He, the chief lieutenant of the household department, immediately said: "Your Majesty, the current gold, silver, copper coins and various precious stones in the treasury are converted together, and there are about 800 million taels of gold. ”
When Liu Ji heard this, his brows suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Even if our Han Dynasty's finances have no income at all, with the family background of the national treasury, our Han can hold on for eight years, if you count my royal treasury, it will not be a problem to persist for more than 20 years, not to mention that the financial income of our Han Dynasty will definitely increase, and it will definitely not be a problem to feed the current 35 million troops!" ”
After Liu Ji ascended the throne and became emperor, he divided the wealth of the original broken army into two parts, one part went to the treasury of the Han Dynasty, and one part was assigned to the royal treasury, and the wealth assigned to the royal treasury was converted into about 1.2 billion taels of gold.
After a pause, Liu Ji continued: "By the way, before the capture of Dawan City, we seized more than 500 million taels of gold from Dawan City, many of which are in the royal treasury of Dawan Kingdom. I don't have to send anything into the royal library this time. ”
Hearing that Liu Ji was ready to return all the seizures from Dawan City to the national treasury, Xiao He, the chief lieutenant of the household department, immediately said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, with this batch of wealth in Dawan City, there is no need to use Your Majesty's royal treasury, and the household department can guarantee military spending for the next twenty years!" ”
Guo Jia, the lieutenant of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly smiled and said: "Xiao He, it turns out that you are crying poor here and suggesting disarmament, it is the idea of fighting the wealth of Dawan City!" ”
Xiao He, the chief lieutenant of the household department, smiled slightly and said: "I didn't suggest disarmament to Your Majesty, I just told Your Majesty that the monthly military expenditure of our Han army is a bit large!" ”
Liu Ji then asked Xiao He, the chief lieutenant of the household department: "At present, how much is the financial income of our Han in a month?" ”
Xiao He immediately said: "Your Majesty, the financial income of our Han Dynasty has been increasing month by month, from about 6.8 million taels of gold in September of the first year of the Han Dynasty to 8.4 million taels of gold, of course, it has increased so much, mainly because our Han has newly added 18 states, among which dozens of gold mines in Karawan Province of the former Dawan Kingdom can produce about 1 million taels of gold every month. ”
Liu Ji nodded Xiao He with his hand, "Okay, you Xiao He!" It turns out that our big man's monthly financial income is already so high, so why are you still crying with me? The wealth of Dawan City, I still have to collect it into the royal treasury! ”
Zhang Juzheng, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, also said with a smile: "Xiao He, you have bypassed me, with a monthly financial income of 8.4 million taels of gold, our Han is enough to support an army of 35 million!" ”
Xiao He said to Liu Ji with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, now the monthly financial revenue, excluding military expenses and officials at all levels, basically there will be nothing left, and even our household department has to paste some upside down, in addition to building bridges and paving roads, controlling floods, rescuing disaster victims, and immigrating to the Western Regions and grasslands, we all need to take out a large amount of gold and silver from the treasury, and our household department ......."
"That's it! All right! I'm just kidding you, the wealth of Dawan City will all go to the treasury! Before Xiao He's complaint was finished, he was interrupted by Liu Ji.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao He hurriedly said.
Chen Ping, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Rites, then said to Liu Ji: "Your Majesty, the total strength of our Han army is as high as 35 million, so many young and strong, if there is no war, it is really a waste to stay in the barracks all the time. ”
Xiao He immediately agreed with the proposal of Chen Ping, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Rites, "Your Majesty, Chen Taiwei is reasonable, if 10 million troops can be transferred to the tuntian, then the rations of the remaining 25 million troops will also be solved, and the military expenditure will be reduced by about 2.5 million taels of gold every month. ”
Liu Ji pondered for a moment, turned his head to Zhang Liang, the captain of the military department, and asked, "Zhang Liang, do you think Tuntian is feasible?" ”
Zhang Liang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, if you let the army tuntian, it will inevitably reduce the combat effectiveness of the army, but the garrison troops of the states do not expect them to have much combat effectiveness. ”
Liu Ji touched his chin and said, "Then let the garrisons of each state carry out Tuntian!" As for the fields, farm tools, ploughing cattle, and seeds needed for the tuntian, the household department is responsible for it! ”
After deciding that the garrison troops of each state would carry out the matter of tuntian, Guo Jia, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Industry, said to Liu Ji: "Your Majesty, now the land of the Western Regions has been owned by our Han Dynasty, but there are many ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and there are hundreds of languages. ”
The Chinese spoken by Guo Jia, that is, the common language and script of the Eastern countries, is called Lu dialect in Lu State, Zhou State in Zhou State, and Jin State dialect in the former Great Jin Dynasty.
Liu Ji nodded and said: "I have long had this idea, it is not enough to abolish the Holy Fire Sect in the Western Regions at present, we must find a way to turn the people of the Western Regions into real Han Chinese, it seems that it is time to carry out a complete sinicization of the Western Regions!" ”
Cui Hao, the chief lieutenant of the Criminal Department, frowned and said: "It is not easy to popularize Chinese in the entire Western Regions, after all, there are almost 300 million people in the entire Western Regions, and the people who can speak Chinese may not even be even ten percent, and many of them who can speak Chinese have immigrated from the Jin Kingdom to the Western Regions Protectorate before. ”
Liu Ji waved his hand and said: "No matter how difficult it is, the people of the Western Regions must be sinicized, if one generation can't do it, just two generations, three generations, as long as our Han court insists on doing it, a hundred years later, the entire Western Regions will never leave the territory of our Han Dynasty!" ”
Liu Ji's words made the six lieutenants nod, and Zhang Liang, the lieutenant of the military department, said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, as long as the people in the Western Regions have become Han Chinese, then no matter how they change in the future, the Western Regions will not be out of the control of our Han Dynasty!" ”
After Liu Ji and the six lieutenants discussed in detail the strategy of sinicization in the Western Regions, Zhang Liang and others left the palace, Liu Ji was just about to return to the harem, at this time the guards reported to Liu Ji, and the commander of Heishuitai asked Jia Xu to see.
Liu Ji immediately summoned Jia Xu, the commander of Heishuitai, into the palace, "Jia Xu, what's the matter with looking for me?" ”
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we have just received a piece of information from Heishuitai that the Xiongnu, Khitan, Xirong, Donghu, Tiele and Karasuma tribes in the grassland have secretly formed an alliance against our Han Dynasty, and the six strong clans of the grassland have agreed that once our Han army's army attacks any of them, the other five tribes will declare war on our Han Dynasty." ”
Liu Ji sneered, "These nomads on the grassland, they really don't remember to eat, it seems that I have time, and I have to lead the troops to the grassland to wander around, so that these nomads are sober and sober, is this about this matter?" ”
Jia Xu continued: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, the Europa Empire, which is adjacent to the Western Regions of our Great Han, has recently sent a large number of troops to the border areas close to our Great Han, at least doubling the number of troops, and our Heishuitai is very weak in the Europa Empire, and we have not yet figured out the real intention of the Europa Empire's increase in troops, but even if the Europa Empire increases troops to the border areas, the total strength of the Europa Empire's army in the border area is only about seven million, and there should be no intention of invading the Western Regions." ”
Liu Ji said in a deep voice: "I will order the Western Frontier Legion and the Sabbath Legion to be vigilant, and your Heishuitai will strengthen the intelligence work of the Europa Empire and even the entire Western Continent in the future!" ”
Jia Xu said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the people of the Western Continent are all blonde and blue-eyed, and it is really difficult for us in Heishuitai to establish an intelligence network in the Western Continent. ”
"If there are difficulties, we have to overcome them, now that our Han has become neighbors with the Europa Empire, there will be friction in the future, and even another war is possible, so no matter what, you Heishuitai must also build the intelligence network of the Europa Empire and even the entire Western Continent!"
