Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the New Year. Hong Jie, the Dragon Lance Guard, was secretly reminded by Zhao Zhe and quickly recruited more than 20,000 recruits from the reserve army in a short period of time. The emperor's approval was used again, and the approval of the cabinet was passed. Before the Chinese New Year, I received enough leather armor and waist knives from the armory. even went to the door of Shen Yijun of the household department, and asked for a year's food expenses. In addition, the most important thing is to order 30,000 exquisite guns, 5 million rounds of ammunition, 300 exquisite guns, and 300,000 shells directly from the department of the organ with approval. Originally, I wanted to ask for more, but the department seemed to smell some rumors, so he died and refused to add more.

Zhao Zhe also met with the hussars who returned to the dynasty after the war. It was a victory, and naturally, a grand celebration was held. It was also while other armies were basking in the excitement of victory and celebration. The hussars who were secretly instructed by the emperor began to perform their duties as the emperor's guardian of the pro-army, and selected personnel from other armies to replenish them, especially the several brother armies that had fought together. More than 15,000 horses were brought to the palace at once from the pro-army of the governor's mansion who went and returned together, plus the remaining people of the hussars, the total number of people had exceeded 28,000, and a hussar center guard was added directly to the four guards in the front and rear of the hussars. The best of the other armies also fought with the hussars, not to mention friendship with each other. He also greatly longed for the strength of the hussars, as well as those superior treatments. What's more, the hussars are the emperor's pro-army, and both in terms of future development and glory, they are far beyond the original army. Therefore, the vast majority of people come over as soon as they pull.

Today's hussars are not the army that used to be a little immature despite their outstanding combat power. Including the surviving hussars, as well as the friendly troops that have been brought over, they are all outstanding, and they are even more warriors after many killings. The smell of blood on his body can be smelled from afar. It can be said that now the new hussar army should be regarded as the most powerful army in the entire Great Zhao Kingdom. Although the Wu Zheng in Shanxi and Liu Pojun in Liaodong both have a cavalry that is strong but not inferior to the hussars. But their establishment is guards, and there are only five or six thousand people who have died. But now, the hussars are about 28,000 people, and they are fully equipped with five guards. Strength is not the same.

All the armies that were co-opted were governors, although they were all furious, and their subordinates were not angry. But he didn't dare to say much, after all, the world is all the emperor's. The emperor took a fancy to their own soldiers, that was their blessing, and that was their good training. Run, run, it's a big deal. Who dares to make too much trouble, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to protect my name, after all, the army in this world is the emperor, is it difficult, who still wants to set up a mountain to rebel?

In the same way, the hussars also commanded the materials and money that should be received and should not be received. The Imperial Forest Army and the Forbidden Army under Zhao Zhe also began to loot supplies on a large scale. As for Jinyiwei, because this time was too busy, most of the personnel were scattered outside. However, they were not in a hurry, and first approved a large number of resources and money. Wait for next year's number of people to be more concentrated, and then go to the unified collar. Although the new policy may have been implemented by then, the brocade clothes are collared with last year's approval, and the batch has not yet expired. You're going to say no? Well, it is estimated that anyone in any department will dare to take a few tops and break a few cows. But I'm afraid I can't find a few people who dare to compete with Jinyiwei. After all, Jin Yiwei's infamous name hangs there. Whoever sees it, they are afraid to avoid it, where do they dare to provoke?

The new policy was not discussed in the court, but was discussed by some heads of the household department and the entire cabinet for a total of more than 40 days before a relatively complete detailed rule was come up. After Zhao Zhe personally stamped the seal, he was ready to carry it out from the beginning of the Lunar New Year.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it was announced, chickens and dogs began to jump. First of all, the gang of people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies jumped up, and originally allocated 30% of the total tax revenue last year as military spending, which made the gang very happy. After all, although the tax revenue in the first half of last year was not high, in the second half of the year, after the commercial tax was strengthened, the annual tax revenue was as high as 100 million yuan, which is still the premise of reducing and reducing many agricultural taxes. The bigwigs of the governor's mansions pinched their fingers and calculated that the total military expenditure should be more than 33 million, which is an extremely large number. But when they went back and summed up with the staff, they found a problem. These more than 33 million are divided among the six governors' mansions, including the emperor's pro-military mansion. Although the number of the emperor's pro-army under the jurisdiction of the emperor's governor's mansion is much smaller than theirs, how dare as a courtier be more than the emperor? Therefore, each governor's mansion should take 5.5 million, and the excess of more than 300,000 yuan was given to the emperor's personal guards. But if you take a closer look, these 5.5 million are more than 500,000 troops, and they will average it to each person, which is ten taels of silver. If this is enough for money and food, it will be enough, and there will be a surplus. However, the previous equipment is not counted, and now you have to get weapons from the armory workshop, and you have to pay money. A most ordinary infantryman, with a whole outfit on his body, has to count two taels of silver no matter what. It's okay to get these ordinary equipment, at least I got more of them before, and there are a lot of leftovers, and I can't look at them now.

But every governor's mansion is worried about exquisite guns. It was a sharp weapon, a well-trained soldier with a delicate spear, enough to handle ten soldiers of the same rank in the defense of the city. Even if you fight with the Houjin soldiers when defending the city, it is not a problem to fight two or three of them. Anyone knows that this is extremely strong when the combat effectiveness of the army increases. What to do if the army is strong? When you fight, you can naturally get more credit, who doesn't want the army under their jurisdiction to be a winning army? Who is willing to say that the army under his command is worse than others?

Especially when they went to the department to ask the price of the Linglong gun, they almost all came back vomiting blood. The department said that now they have to buy raw materials, so the reserve price of each Linglong gun will be 30 taels of silver and 2,000 taels of silver for each Linglong cannon. If it is really this price, the governor's mansion of each army is still ready to grit his teeth and buy one or two hundred thousand exquisite guns to use first. But the last question, today's quotation is only the reserve price. The final price needs to be obtained by auction of each army. Because the quantity is extremely limited, they still have to work overtime with the craftsmen of their department to rush out the production, and they can only produce 15,000 exquisite guns and 300 exquisite cannons a year.

The price is very expensive, but the quantity is scarce. The governors of the five armies still have some old backgrounds, and they all want to win this batch of arms first. began to walk the door, some went to the emperor to cry and intercede, and some sat at the house of Xu Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. They all want to buy this batch of arms at the lowest price. But how could the department of the organ be as they wished, what kind of buyer's market is it when the emperor is in his mouth, and when will he not sit on the ground and wait for the price? Then it was rumored that this batch of arms orders would be divided into three small batches and auctioned out at one time. This means that, at least, there will be two governors who will not be able to buy exquisite guns even if they have money.

All of a sudden, the people in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies began to look like red-eyed chickens, looking at who was not pleasing to the eye. In fact, they all knew that the emperor's pro-army dragon spear guard had pre-ordered 30,000 exquisite spears last year. But it was the emperor's pro-army, and it was a move made by the emperor before the implementation of the new policy last year. First, who made them not act in advance last year, and looked down on the armory workshop and the department of the organ like a big man. Second, no one dared to express some dissatisfaction with the emperor.

It's just that none of them expected the tricks of the department of the agency, but they were taught by the emperor himself. Zhao Zhe taught them this, and there was really no way. Originally, Zhao Zhe wanted to take Xu Linglong back for the New Year. But I didn't expect Linglong, but it was a person who rushed to the Qianqing Palace with a fierce momentum, and kept saying that Zhao Zhe bullied her, and she just said it, and she didn't know which bastard taught her. actually choked up and cried about how their organs worked hard for the emperor day and night, and researched new things for the emperor. In the end, it was to implement the New Deal, and all personnel expenses and materials needed to be bought with money. If that's the case, the department will admit it. After all, everyone implements this policy, and the department can sell guns and ammunition to the army, and the people of the entire department can be fed, clothed, and buy materials.

But now, Zhao Zhe instructed the dragon lancer guard to take advantage of her ignorance of the new policy to directly approve 30,000 Linglong guns, 300 Linglong guns in stock and orders, and countless ammunition from her. Most of them are the advance production after the post. Is it difficult for them to post money by themselves, and not work for half a year in vain? Could it be that the dragon spear guard was born to his mother, and their department was raised by his stepmother?

Zhao Zhe also felt a little unreasonable, and in the face of Xu Linglong's pitiful crying like a little cat, he just asked casually: "Your department has been deprived of countless money and resources from the household department throughout the year." I heard that the iron ingots in the department are piled up like a small mountain, and your copper ingots are piled up in dozens of warehouses, as well as sulfur, silver, gold, ......."

"Who said that?" Xu Linglong immediately opened her teeth and claws like a tiger whose tail had been stepped on, as if she knew who said it, and she must have shot him. But in the face of Zhao Zhe's stunned expression, he immediately complained pitifully, saying that those were just rumors, and the materials they had last year were used for research and construction. Where could there be so much left? In the final analysis, there is only one purpose, the money of this dragon lancer guard cannot be taken for nothing, and they must give as much as they want, otherwise they will starve to death next year. Then it was coquettishness and seduction. Zhao Zhe didn't hold it for a while and got on her thief ship. After being served by her jerky technique, the good brother and the good brother screamed excitedly a few times......
