Chapter 92: Funding Crisis

In the Yanjing Jiedu Mansion, many generals and Wenchen were coming to the middle hall under the leadership of Liu Ping, only to see a pale-skinned, dressed in red official robes, soap boots, wearing winged tail hats, dressed as a Song Wenchen official, looking at Liu Ping with a calm face, and the old guy was smiling beside the middle-aged man.

Liu Ping and the others came closer, only to see Na Ke step forward and introduce: "Master Hou." This is the Zuo Shilang of the National Dynasty, Huang Qianshan Huang, who came by the edict of the Bianliang official. ā€

"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Huang, Lord Huang has been tired of traveling and traveling, and it is hard all the way, so it is better to go into the Jingshe to rest first. It's not too late to read the decree the next day. Liu Ping arched his hand.

"Marquis Liu, forget it, you are the feudal official of the Jiedu side, we will share the worries of the saint, come to Yanjing to read the will of the saint, it is better not to delay." Huang Qianshan replied. After that, he took out the holy decree and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: "Yanshan Festival makes Liu Ping receive the decree!" ā€

"Minister, take the order!" Liu Ping said respectfully.

"Since the founding of the country, the world is peaceful, I am pro-government, I inherit the mandate of heaven, and I have never been reckless, and now the Ming Sect in Jiangnan is a bandit, robbing Taishang, and slaughtering the people of Jiangnan. Paid for the Yanjing Festival Liu Ping's Imperial Yongding Army Tiger Ben, the combat power is brilliant, today a special decree ordered Liu Ping to lead the army to the south after the tenth day, clear out the bandits, the battalion is still too high, in order to calm the people! Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Chin this! ā€

"Minister! Pick up!! Liu Ping said in a deep voice. Reach out and take the decree.

"Marquis Liu, the official's decree has been announced, and you have also received the will. Please prepare early and head south as soon as possible. Huang Qianshan said with a smile.

"Lord Huang is polite, since you are tired of traveling, please take a break today." Liu Ping said with a smile. "Take it."

"In!" Na Ke replied with a smile.

"Arrange Lord Huang's residence." Liu Ping said with a smile.

"My subordinates understand!" Na Ke smiled, turned to Huang Qianshan and said: "Lord Huang, today's boat and car are hard, and the food and drinks have already been prepared for you in front of you, and I hope that Lord Huang will appreciate his face, don't think Yanjing's wine and food are vulgar." ā€

"Master Hou is polite, Lord Ke is polite!" Huang Qianshan smiled. He went to the ashram under the leadership of Nakko.

Half a day later, Na Ke looked at Huang Qianshan, who was already drunk on the wine table, pursed his lips, and said to the maid behind him: "Wait for Lord Huang to rest." After saying that, he turned around and left the house, called his subordinates to prepare the horses, and went straight to Liu Ping.

Liu Ping is with Lu Zhiqiao at the moment. With a lot of effort, Yang Sanduo came in and said, "Master Hou, Lord Nake is here!" ā€

"Hmm! It seems that Lao Nake's speed is good, and he has done it so quickly. Liu Ping said with a smile.

As soon as Nake came in, he came to Liu Ping like a dog and said, "Master Hou, fortunately, I am not dishonored." The subordinate finally got something out of the guy's mouth. ā€

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Liu Ping said.

That Huang Qianshan said that at this time, the DPRK and the Central Committee also rebelled against the Jiangnan Ming Sect and divided it into two major factions. The first is to organize the army of Qinwang from all walks of life and immediately send troops to attack Jiangnan Province. The other faction needs to be slowly planned, and by the way, it is necessary to recruit a safe strategy. This Huang Qianshan is a person from Cai Jing and Cai Xianggong of Xifu, and this time, in addition to coming to us to announce the decree, tomorrow he will also go to the border troops in the northwest to announce the decree. "Nakko.

"Oh~~ It seems that Cai Jing and Cai Gongxiang want to exterminate the Ming Sect as soon as possible and save the emperor." Liu Pingdao.

"Master Hou guessed right." Take the road.

"Who is the one who supports Xu Xu Tuzhi?" Liu Pingdao.

Nake shook his head, and seemed to have drunk a little too much, before he said, "It's Tang Ke Tang Shaozai." I heard that this Tang Shaozai has been quite popular with the saints recently. ā€

"Tang Ke?? What about Li Xiang's side? Is there nothing to say? Liu Ping said.

Li Xiang also meant to put down the rebellion as soon as possible. It's just that after hearing that I have been estranged from the saint a few times, I don't know what's wrong, and my majesty is a little unhappy. Li Xiang now claims to be sick at home and has not been to court for a long time. "Nakko.

"What!!" Liu Ping frowned. The heart is not such a simple thing. It seems that this Zhao Huan and Zhao Guanjia must support a slow settlement, otherwise they would not have said in the holy decree that they would go back in half a month. To put it bluntly, I want the captured Zhao Ji to die as soon as possible, this is the rhythm of killing my father.

"The kid also revealed one more thing. said that His Majesty had some slight words about the Jiang Ning Army who was suppressing the bandits, and that the King Kang who had been sent was already entangled with Zhang Bofen at the moment, which made His Majesty a little worried. ā€

"This... is interesting!!" Liu Ping touched his nose with his hand and said to Lu Zhiqiao:

"Wen Yuan, I'll fix a book for me and send it to Li Xiang later. Just ask him what His Majesty is thinking about today. Liu Ping said.

"My subordinates understand, it's just Master Hou, I still want to ask you, whether to send troops or not?" Lu Zhiqiao asked lightly.

"How's it going? How about not sending troops? Liu Ping smiled: "I guess Wen Yuan must be thinking about how to persuade me to send troops, right?" ā€

"Uh... You can see that. Lu Zhiqiao said that he was indeed thinking about the wording and persuaded Liu Ping to send troops.

"Yanjing North rejects the gold thief, and it is also the gateway of the Great Song Dynasty, I want to keep the peace, and the rear cannot be chaotic. Jiangnan is rich, it is the economic center of Gyeonggi in my Great Song Dynasty, and I can't afford to lose it, besides, my vision will not be so short-sighted, so I must go to this rebellion in Gangnam Province. ā€

"Hou Ye Shengming!!" Take it to the side of the dogleg road.

"Master Hou is really a god. Subordinates admire!! Lu Zhiqiao said. Originally, my subordinates wanted to go to great lengths to persuade you to send troops to Jiangnan, but I was afraid that you would say that the soldiers had just come back and had not yet rested. ā€

"Haha! Wen Yuan, you have learned to slap horses like this old guy! Liu Ping said with a smile.

"Master Hou, there is one more thing. Can be tricky. Nake said on the side.

"What's the matter?" Liu Ping asked.

"We don't have enough money." Nake is embarrassed.

"The military expenditure is too large, the supply of various materials for the Ordnance Superintendent, and the cost of resettlement of various displaced people in Yanjing City. The expenses are quite large, Han Shizhong's guy said that the cavalry needs to be re-equipped with a new saddle, and a batch of good horse boots must be customized, plus the opening of a war horse training ground, which will cost 80,000 taels of silver, and the archers are even more powerful Tang Huai Tang Shilang, and when he comes up, he will change the bowheads and armor of all the archers, I can't figure it out, you want to change the bowstring, I understand, but the archers don't have to fight in battle, what kind of armor to change. One body is a dozen taels of silver. Yes, more than 90,000 were sent. There is also the military academy in Yanjing, that group of half-grown children, but they really want to eat poor people, this time there is a new batch of orphans, and the school building has been expanded again, almost more than 3,000 people, my Hou Ye, that open mouth, every day just the meat consumed in the canteen has to be three big fat pigs. Nako said indignantly.

"I won't say much about the rest, that is, even the old Wu Tou, the Ordnance Supervisor, took at least 20,000 taels of silver from the treasury last month, saying that he wanted to make a thunderbolt, my God. It's just a thunderbolt, the old man hasn't seen it before, and it's no different from fireworks, so do you still have to do so much money to make? According to the old minister, it is better to reduce the supply of the ordnance superintendent, more than 300 craftsmen, each person's salary is enough to catch up with the annual salary of the imperial court's Qipin Zhi County, but this is looking all over the world, how can there be such a high salary. Nake said dissatisfied, with a miser's expression.

Looking at Nake, who was complaining to him, Liu Ping was also a little big-headed, and said to Nake: "Okay, okay, my Lord Nake, just say how much money we still have!" ā€

Na Kewang looked at Liu Ping stretched out a hand and spread his five fingers.

"Hmm... There's still 500,000 taels, enough to last for a while." Liu Ping saw Nake's gesture and said.

Nake looked embarrassed, shook his head and said, "Master Hou, it's fifty thousand!" We'll have only 50,000 taels of silver left. ā€

Liu Ping's eyes widened and said, "Why is there only this left of the fuck!" Isn't there any tax left in Youyan's various places? ā€

Lu Zhiqiao, who was on the side, was silent for a long time, and said helplessly: "Money, money, money, which aspect must not be the first thing in wealth, some time ago, his subordinates were also constantly arranging displaced people in Youyan Prefectures, etc., according to your instructions Hou Ye, even if you want to collect taxes, you have to collect one-tenth of the taxes paid by the imperial court after the farmers we resettled have collected the first crops." However, according to one-tenth of the tax, it was paid, but only 200,000 yuan was collected, and before it was heated in our treasury, it was pushed out in advance by the budgets of various departments. Lu Zhiqiao said helplessly.

"Take Ke, just tell me, how long can our money last." Liu Ping said helplessly.

"Two months at most!" Naco said.

Liu Ping also has a black line on his face, feeling that he is about to die of poverty.

At this moment, the Yongding Army Group is like a small group like a small workshop in modern society that is about to develop into a large and medium-sized enterprise. At this moment, due to the lack of funds, suffering from various restrictions and restrictions, the original business model can no longer adapt to the development of the growing army. Liu Ping was also a little embarrassed at the moment. It is good that the family is big and the development momentum is strong, but the financial support is also a big difficulty. You have to find a way to grow your business, or you won't be able to have fun in the future.

"Uh... "Uh, what about this armory, you can't cut it, after all, that's where all our elite ordnance is, and the ordnance superintendent is not just strange #Ā„#ę·«å·§ęŠ€å•Š, this science and technology is the real productive force. On the issue of the lack of silver in our hands. I'll figure it out! Hmph, didn't the official family of Bianliang let us go to Jiangnan, even if the emperor used soldiers, he couldn't starve the soldiers, and let Wen Yuan prepare a sincere recital, just say that I Yongdingjun really want to serve the country loyally, but the military budget is insufficient, they are all hungry, there is no money, he Zhao Guan's family wants to use us, let us have money to eat first!! Liu Ping said.

"My subordinates understand!" Take it and Lu Zhiqiao said.

"Since the Hou Ye wants to send troops, but the generals have just returned to Yanjing, how can you convince them?" Lu Zhiqiao said.

"How can you convince? Persuade with your mouth!! Liu Ping smiled, relieved. I can still convince those guys!
