Speaking of this matter, it is indeed embarrassing, you know, Taicang silver is the silver of the royal treasury, the courtiers on the one hand criticized the emperor for greedy goods, repeatedly levy mining taxes, but on the other hand, they have to rely on the emperor's inner treasury to allocate silver, in order to maintain the military expenses needed for the war.

But this is actually a helpless thing, when Emperor Taizu started from the end of the micro, the world, after the Ding Ding is not easy to sympathize with the people, the tax rate is lower than the past dynasties, and later in order to save silver taels, so that the local government to retain part of the tax silver to supply the yamen expenses, so the consequence is that the silver reserves in the imperial treasury are stretched, which can maintain the daily operation of the imperial court.

The ability to resist pressure is very poor, a big war can empty the entire treasury, you know, such a big war, it will cost more than two million taels of silver, almost equivalent to a whole year's income of the imperial court, in desperation, but also can only hit the emperor's inner treasury idea, who let the emperor collect mining taxes these years, really accumulated a large amount of Taicang silver......

However, a martial artist is a martial artist after all, in terms of the thickness of his face, Fei Jiajin is not as good as the ministers of the government and the opposition, and he can't do this kind of thing while spending the emperor's money while criticizing the emperor's silver for coming from the wrong way!

Therefore, when Zhu Changluo asked about military resources, his face turned red.

But Zhu Changluo smiled.

"I see!"

No wonder he was so happy when he mentioned the silver to Zhu Yijun this time, it turned out that it was because of his own silver deposit that he had spent on this expedition, and he should be distressed.

However, he was not in the mood to make fun of Fei Jiajin, so he pondered for a moment and spoke.

"With all due respect, even if this war is fought quickly, it will take about half a year, 120,000 people, but the military expenditure is only 2.7 million taels, that is to say, on average, the total cost of each soldier in this half a year is about 25 taels, these 25 taels, including the cotton clothes, weapons, food, military salaries used by the sergeants, and even the loss on the way to calculate it......

Two million seven thousand taels, supplying 120,000 people, seems to be more than enough.

But in fact, it is far from enough, the art of war is cloudy, the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first!

What Zhu Changluo said is only where people have to spend, not including other things such as horse forage, if you count it all, I'm afraid that 2.7 million taels is far from enough!

Fei Jiajin smiled bitterly and said.

"Your Highness doesn't know, if it is according to His Highness's algorithm, 2.7 million taels is really not enough, but this war, it is from the Taicang silver, although His Majesty's inner treasury has silver, but also to supply the inner palace and reward consumption, it is not easy to take out these, and the household department can not take out the silver taels, so this expedition, the sergeant's salary has only been allocated for two months for the time being, and the weapons are carried from the armory depots from all over the country, without these two items, if it is a quick battle, 2.7 million taels should be barely enough!"

To tell the truth, if there is a way, Fei Jiajin doesn't want to do this, but the problem is that fighting a war has always been a matter of burning money, and without silver, even if a general who is good at commanding the army, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

In fact, being able to get so much silver is already the result of Fei Jiajin's very hard work, and the original silver taels agreed by the household department are only a mere two million taels, and I am afraid that it is not enough for people to eat horses......

Unexpectedly, Zhu Changluo turned pale and said.

"Fertucius, who is also a man of the army, does he not know the consequences of being in arrears? What's more, my dignified army of the Son of Heaven, the soldiers are fighting on the front line, if it is difficult to guarantee even the salary and weapons, what kind of face do you have to rank in the position of the minister? ”

Fei Jiajin's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, he knew that what Zhu Changluo said was right, arrears of salary and silver were likely to cause army riots, after all, everyone went to the battlefield with their heads on their heads, if even the silver was deducted, how could people continue to work hard for the country.

But what could he do!

Two million taels of two hundred thousand taels is already the maximum amount he can get, and any more is not within his ability......

What's more, anyone who has worked hard for so long, but in the end is scolded for being incompetent, I am afraid that there will be resentment in my heart, if it were not for the person in front of me is Zhu Changluo, I am afraid that Fei Jiajin would have already lifted the table to pick people up.

But even so, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that Zhu Changluo didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke......

For a while, the atmosphere in the lobby was a little dull, and after a while, Fei Jiajin sighed and said.

"What His Royal Highness said, the old man also knows, but what can the old man do, these days the old man is running around, and he will charge all the wealth and silk in the house into the army as military funds!"

This was a complaint, but he didn't expect Zhu Changluo to pat the table and said in surprise.

"Fedudu, that's a good idea!"

Fei Jiajin was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to understand the meaning of Zhu Changluo's words, and he was immediately angry and funny, and said.

"Your Highness, don't be joking, the old man still has his wife and children to support, not to mention that if the old man's wealth in the house is scattered to make up for the military expenses, the old man will not hesitate to do so!"

This is not a lie, Fei Jiajin can achieve today's position, relying on sympathy for his subordinates, he has been using his own money to help the families of soldiers who died in the past, if he exports his family wealth to make up for military expenses, he really will not hesitate.

But the problem is that the strength of his family is so small, all the wealth of his upper and lower families is only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the cash that can be taken out is only hundreds of thousands of taels, which is just a drop in the bucket in this huge military fund!

However, Zhu Changluo's face was solemn and said.

"Fadudu has misunderstood, this king is not joking! The soldiers went out to fight with their lives to defend the majesty of our Ming territory, so no matter what, the military salary they should have must not be lacking, and even the post-war pension and reward must be fully allocated, and this king will never let the soldiers shed blood on the front line, and they can't even afford to raise their wives and children when they return to their hometown! ”

Fei Jiajin was stunned, looking at Zhu Changluo's solemn expression, and his face became solemn.

If it is possible, why doesn't he want to do this, but the problem is, if he really wants to do this, this military expenditure will be at least doubled, and he knows the situation of the court very well, even if he wants the life of the head of the household, it is impossible to make up such a large sum of silver, not to mention that even if he tries his best, the entire Ming court will also be greatly injured, for a war to promote the prestige of the country, it is really not worth it, not to mention, those civil servants in the court will never agree to this matter.

However, since Zhu Changluo was so serious, he didn't seem to be a fake, so Fei Jiaking paused and frowned.

"Will the plan be released?"

Zhu Changluo smiled.

"Didn't Ferdudo already say it?"
