These things were completed in just three days, and this huge change in the military system certainly made everyone a little unacceptable, especially those small and medium-sized officers in the army, who had accepted the military rank system of five generations and ten countries since the day they joined the army, and now the sudden change is so big, I don't know if it will affect their future, after all, the regiment has never heard of anything.

But under Wang Jin's super personal prestige and turbulent situation, no one can do anything with him, as long as the five dynasties and ten kingdoms have a strong enough force or the emperor is far away, there is no way to levy, they generally listen to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, and any orders that are not favorable to themselves are regarded as farts.

For such a situation, the central government also has no way to deal with these festival envoys who are yang and yin, and the world has to learn the same, that is, the festival envoys are not monolithic inside, and there are still separatist forces.

The current Jinzhou is such an embarrassing existence, snatched from the hands of Liang State, and immediately started a big war, the Later Jin Dynasty basically couldn't take care of it, and the Later Liang was also desperate to gather heavy troops to attack Hebei, in order to cut off Li Cunqiao's foreign aid and buffer, and pave the way for the direct capture of Jinyang in the future.

Wang Jin became the lucky one in the game, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms are so absurd, some people inexplicably become a prince, and then the official position is getting higher and higher.

The king of Jin issued an edict and set off in five days, and Wang Jin spent three days reorganizing a thousand troops, a total of one regiment and three battalions, totaling a thousand people. However, there were only 500 men with him, and the remaining troops still had to garrison Jinju, so the troops were very tight.

The day before the expedition, Wang Jin summoned a few wealthy families in Jinju and invited them to dinner. This meal is clearly a Hongmen banquet, I am afraid that there is some ulterior purpose, if you go in, you may not be able to come out, for a while, everyone in Jinju rich families is in danger, and many families have called themselves sick, and the patriarch is given to the young people.

…………

During the banquet, Wang Jin was not polite as soon as he sat down, and said to a few tables of children of the family: "I am afraid that you also know about this battle, it is related to the survival of my Hedong, and you must not die." However, Hebei is a long way away, and there is a serious shortage of grain, grass, horses, and horses, so I am looking for you today to let you come up with ideas and see if there is any way to get some grain and grass for our people's army. Wang Jin went straight to the point, and said the purpose of this banquet very domineeringly.

Wang Jin felt that what he said was already very tactful, and he didn't want anyone to be ignorant, but these children of the family were very unpleasant when they heard it in their ears, and they scolded Wang Jin in their hearts for being shameless, and they would extort big families, and sooner or later they would be sucked dry by this Wang Jin, and there would be no bones left.

But they have no way to resist, their power in the city has long been exhausted in the Liang and Jin wars, and now the person who controls Jinzhou is Wang Jin, who has more than 1,000 troops under his command, not those in his own family can settle it, but the first few times Wang Jin has looted enough property, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will go bankrupt.

In these years, the war was in chaos, the production was seriously damaged, the official roads were damaged, the trade routes were difficult, and their sources of income were also sharply reduced, so it was really difficult to withstand Wang Jin's pressure again and again.

In an instant, there was silence at the dinner table, which had been a warm atmosphere, and everyone's faces revealed expressions of embarrassment, pain, and resentment.

Of course, Wang Jin understood their concerns, but this time he was not prepared to rob openly, and he was ready to get some certificates that seemed to be somewhat secure, and he wanted to imitate the bonds of later generations, and first borrowed money from the big families of the Jinzhou family. It's called a war bond, the interest is a cent, the return is very high, and the return depends on the result of Wang Tingshi's trip to Baixiang.

Wang Jin told the people who were working on his war bond plan in detail. For these families, it served as a stable investment, and the Nationalist Army borrowed to fight the war and promised to pay interest at a certain rate of interest and repay the principal on agreed terms. Bonds are issued on a one-to-one basis based on the five-year tax revenue of Jinju as a guarantee. …………

Wang Jin talked for a long time, but the people on the table still looked dumbfounded, and they couldn't understand what Wang Jin said.

Wang Jin also knows that the concept he mentioned is a bit shocking, after all, the issuance of bonds must be guaranteed by a strong government, and now it is the era of five dynasties and ten countries, and there are guns that are the grass kings.

"Then I'll make it clear, that is, to borrow some money from everyone, I will give an IOU, one point of interest, and pay compensation after the war, and if you fail, I will use Jinju taxes to compensate you." Jinju didn't have much tax revenue in the first place, and Wang Jin only wrote blank checks to these people, but now is an extraordinary period, and there is no way to slowly grind with them, so he uses force to threaten them, and he is not afraid that they will not comply.

"Wang Tingshi, how much grain and grass does this national army need?" Someone asked cautiously.

Wang Jin once carefully calculated that the current army needs three and a half catties of food supply for one person for three days, which is still an ordinary marching demand, and if it is a state of war, it will be more. Five hundred people needed 1,750 pounds of food every three days. It was 17,500 catties a month. In the current standard of weights and measures, one hundred and twenty catties is one load. About 200 quintals of grain are consumed every month, and Wang Jin must raise at least two months of grain and grass to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.

There is also the key problem, the people who transport the grain also have to consume a part, and the army of 500 people must be equipped with at least 3 or 400 auxiliaries, which is a large expense.

Wang Jin thought for a moment, and directly reported a number, 1,000 loads of grain, plus 300 mules and horses. 200 mules plus donkeys, 100 horses, and other supplies for the National Army to figure it out on its own.

As a result, as soon as Wang Jin said it, it caused a burst of exclamations. 1,000 loads of grain plus 300 mules and horses, is Wang Jin crazy? After so many lootings by the military, most of the food has long been looted.

"Three hundred quintals, plus two hundred mules and horses." After some chattering and discussion, the last person who looked respectable stood up and said to Wang Jin.

This number is far from the goal in Wang Jin's mind, so naturally he can't agree with it. After some haggling, it was finally settled on 500 quintals and 200 mules and horses, fifty horses, and the rest were mules and donkeys.

The banquet was dispersed, and everyone with a mournful face went out of the Assassin's Mansion one after another, and went home to prepare grain and grass, this time Wang Jin at least gave them a certificate, although everyone felt that the so-called bond was a cover, and it was too hard to even wipe their buttocks.
