Wei Xi conquered the west, spending a huge amount of money, Jiang Zhi found that it was not a problem for the army to win, all the way to the west, all the way to the triumphant song. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is not a problem to break the army and take the city, but how to find the military expenditure, that is, the money, is the big problem!

With the strength of Wei Xi's army, there is no problem in fighting westward, the problem is that the money is not available, and if there is no money, the work can only be stopped!

In a word, the problem is money!

"Don't be surprised if my army returns, it's because we have no money!" Jiang Shi lamented.

In fact, Wei Xi's income is really a lot, there are in kind, his control area is vast, all the people have to pay taxes to him, except for the nouveau riche's Xuntian, according to "the gentry pay grain in one body, and divide the land into the mu", as long as he takes his land, he has to pay taxes!

The magnates inside the customs do not pay taxes, and the upstarts outside the customs are still very simple, except for the fields and forests that are tax-free according to the system, they pay taxes honestly, and they are as honest as innocent children!

They are willing to pay taxes, and they all know that Wei Xi needs money to engage in the business of everyone and his group, and if he can't fight, everyone will have to stay put.

Grain crops, cattle, horses, sheep, etc., the tax revenue is by no means a minority.

He is in business again, and a coal and iron project alone makes it no problem for him to eat for dozens of generations if he does not fight.

Then there are shochu, soap, mirrors, salt tea, and so on, and so on, and there is a lot of money.

and his own land for a living, his slaves are willing to work hard, and the harvest is by no means a few.

He built a bank, and it was proper for the bank to make money.

And Wu Zetian in the Guannei also helped him with his annual military expenses of 200,000 people, and there were many rewards.

Donations and loans from large businessmen inside and outside the Guan.

The "treasury bonds" purchased by the government and the people!

He has so much money that he has a sea of gold and silver!

Helpless to enter more, go out more, Wei Xi's concept is "where you can send arrows, don't send people", yes, his cavalry archery is like pouring water!

The clanging of copper plates can be heard with each arrow fired.

Strengthen the protection of soldiers, it's good, everyone's armor is terrible!

Soldiers must eat well!

Yes, recruits who have been in the army for half a year practice for ten hours a day and gain weight one by one!

Then there is the siege of the city, what kind of "fire preparation", a dozen is a whole day of bombing, the fight is a happy fight, but the money is spent on the flesh, the processing cost of each bullet, the freight is a large amount of money, others say that he is "light thunder does not rain (do not siege the city)!" ”

He is a big man, and he rewards money happily, and every time he gives a reward, Jiang Zhi finds that he may faint once.

The main reason is that Wei Xi is a person, and he likes to take benevolent measures such as high salaries and honesty, caring about people's lives, etc., which have a lot of benefits, and none of the occupied cities rebelled!

The disadvantage is ... A penny stumped the chief of staff!

Looking at Wei Xi's back, he scolded: "I'm the chief of staff? I'm the shopkeeper of the bank, and I have to find a way to find money for you every day! You're good, pat your ass and go horseback riding! ”

Unexpectedly, Wei Xi turned around and said, "The division of labor is different, you think it's easy for me?" You can also ask for a little wife, my family is a Hedong lion roar, two tigresses! Others are the left green dragon and the right white tiger, and I am a tigress on both sides (Princess Taiping, Tang Tian)! Hundreds of people followed him when he went out, his every move was watched, and he had to order takeout for a meal (he had to close the street as soon as he went, so he had to go). ”

He said faintly: "It's not so easy to be alone!" ”

The two looked at each other, and finally it was Jiang Shi who said: "Understand each other!" ”

Wei Xi nodded and said, "Long live understanding!" ”、

……

If you can't fight anymore, you will go bankrupt if you fight again, to be honest, the Tang army plans to break the defense line of the two river basins this year and then do it again next year (when you have money).

Because the progress is okay, and there is still a little military spending, so Damascus is attacked.

Unexpectedly, Tang Tian worked hard, she made a great contribution, but let that little military expenditure disappear all of a sudden, and now Jiang Zhi doesn't even plan to give her the money that was rewarded, anyway, she is Wei Xi's family, Wei Xi has no money, and she has to spend the time together.

After the vote of Damascus, even if it is the granary Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula started by the Arabs, they open the door and thieves, lie on the bed and open their thighs, and they will not march to death!

Whoever wants to march, he resolutely does not sign!

According to the system, the army must be co-signed by Jiang Zhi.

He resolutely resisted sending troops unless he was removed from office!

This has a great impact, and I think Wei Xi can still listen to the advice.

The question is how to find the money!

Money, money!

……

He went to the shopkeeper of the Bank of the Western Regions to discuss the loan with him, but the shopkeeper shook his head like a rattle.

"The prince once said that business is honest, with all due respect, your credit has been used up, and you can't borrow it!" The shopkeeper said.

Although the bank borrows money, it is impossible to borrow all the capital, which affects the operation and ultimately destroys the integrity.

The "credit limit" is set by Wei Xi, and the bank determines the amount of money he can lend according to the strength of the customer, and he has always stated that unless it is a matter of life and death, it is not easy to make an exception!

Now, at least, it's not the enemy who has come to the door, but the expansion of business and the lack of liquidity.

"Issuance of Treasury bonds?" Jiang asked.

"Two issues have been released this year, and here we are the third issue!"

"Is it the third installment?" Jiang Zhi said in surprise.

"You nobles are so forgetful, buy treasury bonds, the people are very enthusiastic to support the army's westward expedition, and the people are running out of money!" The shopkeeper sighed and said.

Wei Xi has another very special thing, he no longer comes to private loans, no matter how good his friendship is, he will not ask for loans, but issue "treasury bonds" for everyone to subscribe, and it is the state that owes money.

He said that he did not owe personal favors, so as not to affect the rule.

Of course, if you owe money to a private person, you must be short of breath, and if someone else asks for it, once you ask for this and that, once you answer it, the state system will be chaotic.

Special taxes?

It's tempting, but it's a killer move, and you can't take it lightly!

Xinde City can't raise taxes, Tangcheng can not bear it, the people are quite supportive of the expedition to the west, and the payment of public grain is very powerful. . . They knew that it was a blessing for them to have Wei Xi's rule, not such a good ruler!

……

The way to get money, Jiang Zhi thought about it one by one, after all, he was the divine machine military master of the Western Expeditionary Army, and he finally came up with a way for him.

Eat big!

For the newly conquered landlords and old money, the government will issue special treasury bonds, apportionment them, and ask them to subscribe!

If the national debt is to be repaid, they also need to donate!

Jiang Zhi thought hideously: "If you don't give money, then take your life!" ”

Grab money with the small people (in the city), and labor and management disdain!

The bosses are unlucky, happy my Tang family, hehe.

As for the fear that they will be dissatisfied?

"Hehe, the founding emperor is good!" (not afraid of killing) muttered, thinking of a way, Jiang Zhi slept peacefully.

……

Soon, there was public opinion in the occupied areas that the government was dissatisfied with the landlords and old moneymen in various places, thinking that they did not support the government enough, and how could the government subsidize money to make the people's livelihood!

If you don't give money, then you will take the property!

When the notice of donation and subscription of treasury bonds arrived, it was enthusiastically completed, and Tang Jun donated 5 million yuan and purchased 3 million yuan of treasury bonds in one go, so that the finances were immediately relaxed.

There are also people who don't give strength and refuse to give money? Yes, if you are looking for one, you will all serve before the army, and your family property will be confiscated!

Another two million more, 10 million!
