Chapter 240: Additional Military Spending
Yi Zhengqi cleared his throat: "Chief of Staff Ye, you have to figure out a few things. [Ran^Text^Library] First, I'm your boss and the one who speaks to the Song Army. Second, my request for an advance is a reasonable additional military expenditure. According to the position, I can give you orders directly, but I thought that you, the chief of staff, had a problem, so I came here in person. Thirdly, this additional military expenditure was not used by me to eat and drink, but to buy insurance for the entire Chaoge Army, and even the civilians of the entire Muma Province. ”
Ye Qianteng was not a soft persimmon, and countered: "General! Do you think it's not because of your identity, but now I still have time to talk nonsense with you? You also have to figure out a few things, you are the commander of the Chaoge Army, and you should know how to balance. I see that you don't treat me as a chief of staff, but as a vault, and I ask for eight million gold coins as soon as you open your mouth. Hum! You do it, I'll be dismissed. The additional expenses, just now I asked you to sign our Ye family's property, which has filled the bottomless pit of Chao Gejun.
You still have to inch in, I have already divided the normal military expenditure, and the military expenditure is greatly exceeded every month. I saw that it was a difficult time for the Asaka Army, so I endured it. You want another 8 million, even if I sell all my belongings to give you enough, but tomorrow the entire Chaoge Army will have no rice to cook, military salaries, medical care, subsidies, repairs, etc., every cent will be spent on the Chaoge Army. The war horses of the Eastern Great Wilderness and Ranch have not yet been settled. If it weren't for the streamer soldiers of the Chaoge Army, the merchants, the civilians, and even the soldiers would have been violent a long time ago. It's messed up. ”
Yi Zhengqi naturally thought about Ye Qianteng's difficulties, and said, "It's not so serious. I understand your plight, so I'm here myself. ”
"No money! Everyone is reaching out to me for money. Where am I going to rob you? Eight million is definitely gone, and for the sake of seeing you come in person, 800,000 gold coins will be gone. ”
"800,000 and I still need to come here in person? I'll just call a guard and get an order. ”
Ye Qianteng said angrily: "Sir, since you are such a scoundrel. Then I resign. You take back the post of Chief of Staff yourself. Not to mention eight million, you can get ten million gold coins. But I have to wait until I resign, I don't want to be torn into tens of thousands of pieces by the soldiers tomorrow when I go out of the door! ”
Yi Zhengqi said earnestly: "Dissipate your anger!" You haven't been a general in an army, and you won't understand my difficulties. ”
"But general, you also served as chief of staff, why don't you understand my difficulties?"
"Now there is a group of beast soldiers marching towards the province of Horse Husbandry, needless to say, they must be coming to trouble our Chaoge army." Easy to recruit.
Ye Qianteng blurted out: "You are fighting so well, just destroy them." ”
"The other party has as many as 200,000 ......"
"200,000 is 20...... 200,000 orcs? Ye Qianteng was stunned.
Yi Zhengqi nodded: "The first information obtained is 23,000, I believe it will only be more, not less." More than our Asaga Army! ”
Ye Qianteng was a little frightened when he heard this, what was going to happen next was bound to be a battle of life and death.
"So, I want these eight million gold coins, which are for war."
Ye Qianteng bit his red and tender lips, his tone became low, and his anger disappeared, "Even if it is a war, it will not need such a huge military expenditure. ”
"That's a lot! If we collide directly with the army of beast soldiers, even if we win, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. If you want to maintain the situation in the province of herding today, it will be difficult. Therefore, we can't compete with manpower, so we can only use financial resources. ”
Ye Qianteng said directly: "Use financial resources, do you want to give the orc army directly and tell them that they will compensate for this matter and don't beat us?" ”
"Hey, hey! That's a good idea. But this time I won't use it for the time being. It is necessary to give money, but not to the beast soldiers. This is a top military secret, and it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being, but you will find out in a few days. But for the sake of the Asaga, for the sake of the civilians of Muma Province, please be sure to help prepare this additional military expenses. I don't tell you it's not that I don't believe you, the entire staff of the Chaoge Army has been handed over to you, but I'm afraid that if you know it, you will be frightened and won't be able to sleep. I still care about you! Yi Zhengqi said it was particularly mysterious.
Ye Qianteng regressed a little, and said: "It's not impossible to want this money, you reduce the resource supply of the two regiments." I'll be able to scrape together eight million for you in a month. ”
"Fighting a war requires people, how can you do it without people and weapons? And a month is just too long. In this way, in order to let everyone have a good year, you prepare 2 million on January 10 after the year, 3 million on January 20, and 8 million in February. From today onwards, unnecessary expenses will be put on hold for a while. Yi Zhengqi was right. But Ye Qianteng heard it with itchy teeth.
"That's fine. Starting today, only one-third of the military salary will be paid. ”
"In that case, I'm worried about your life as the chief of staff. You know, many of these people have been on death squads. ”
Ye Qianteng said again: "Then stop the breeding fee of 200,000 war horses and let them watch their war horses by themselves." My staff doesn't care about raising horses! ”
"Horror doesn't work. These war horses are all raised by the nomads of the Eastern Great Wilderness, and they eat a lot of food. In a few months, the cavalry may be able to raise their own horses, but now that they are handed over this task, they will only raise my tall horse as a dog! ”
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either. Why don't we take the troops to rob it, what do you think? Ye Qianteng said angrily. This Yi Zheng is the boss, but no matter how the money comes from, he only knows how to ask for money when he reaches out, and he also wants her to manage the expenses of this Chaoge army. Ye Qianteng was aggrieved, angry, and a wreck, so he simply quit.
Yi Zhengqi hurriedly stopped her from packing her things and said, "Your method is good." We can consider grabbing it! ”
Ye Qianteng said: "Don't you keep saying that you want to establish the great image of the Chaoge Army?" It's not like your personality to reveal your true colors at this time. ”
"Oh, don't say that about your boss! I think the members of the Asagaku Army are too chaotic now, and I ordered the staff department to be reorganized. From today onwards, all soldiers of the Chaoge Army and those related to the Chaoge Army must apply for certificates. This certificate requires a cost, so you will be charged ten gold coins per person! Remember, it was all the members of the Chaoge Army, including the United Chamber of Commerce, mine personnel, and so on. ”
Before Yi Zhengqi finished speaking, Ye Qianteng said, "Sir, you are really going to rob it." The soldiers of the Asaka Army, and the civilians who had just joined, where did they come with ten gold coins? ”
"The last time we fought with the fox people, they cleaned up the battlefield, will there be only ten gold coins? Ten gold coins is a small amount. But I won't even exploit my own soldiers, soldiers who don't have money can temporarily register their arrears, and it's not too late to give them later when they have money. These are mainly for the group of big businessmen. They joined the United Chamber of Commerce, and this fee is naturally needed. ”
"The members of the United Chamber of Commerce paid the entrance fee when they joined. And we took their stockpiles and sold them to the homeless, and the money was spent, and we didn't give them to them. ”
Yi Zhengqi was stunned: "This makes sense. You've done this before, and it seems that I still underestimate you. ”
"Wrong, General. You were the one who gave me the order before. You've deprived them a few times, don't you remember if you suffer from amnesia? The soldiers' documents were in place at the very beginning. ”
Yi Zhengqi sighed and said, "There's no way!" At present, the only way to make a decision is to make this decision -- starting tomorrow, the 1st and 2nd regiments of the Chaoge Army will rectify the order of Lan City and the five surrounding cities. It is mainly aimed at those underground forces, gangsters, and gangsters. And the big landlords in the fish and meat towns. We, the Chaoge Army, stand for justice, and we must fight against darkness and evil for a long time. ”
Ye Qianteng turned his head to the side and said, "It's a gangster again." The gangsters are really pathetic. ”
