Yuan Shikai's reply was very fast, and soon Wang Bin got Yuan Shikai's reply, and he would allocate an additional 5,000 taels of military expenditure to Wang Bin every month, and just after Wang Bin got Yuan Shikai's reply, the reply from Zengqi also arrived on Wang Bin's table.

After Yu Sun's expression of the demand for military spending, Zeng Qi didn't say a word, and directly guaranteed that there would be a military salary of 10,000 taels every month, of course, the premise was to protect his safety.

Even Wang Bin was a little surprised by this kind of handwriting, this Zengqi is not so generous on weekdays.

It seems that the tense situation now has really stimulated Zengqi, and for the sake of his own life, this money is naturally not a problem.

After having this income, Wang Bin sorted out some of his previous expenses and income.

sorted out the current situation of the small treasury, and after counting all the income, Wang Bin's funds are still very sufficient, especially after the appropriation of Yuan Shikai and Zeng Qi.

In the early stage, when he was suppressing bandits, Wang Bin saved a total of 300,000 taels of silver in his hands, coupled with the increasing intensity of arms transactions with Japan and Russia, he was able to bring 200,000 taels of silver to Wang Bin every month.

There are also 150,000 taels of silver left over from the previous opening of the factory.

However, there is also an expense to have income, and the previous bandit spent 30,000 taels of silver from the consumption of logistics to the treatment of soldiers, and the most important thing is that the income of this bandit is only a one-time time, and there will be no income after the bandit is finished.

Moreover, this arms deal with Japan and Russia is also consumed, and it is too selfish to let yourself get all the benefits of this arms deal, you must know that the money for these arms transactions is earned by the soldiers in charge of transportation, and you can't let these soldiers transport arms in vain without getting any benefits!

After these costs were removed, the trade with Japan and Russia amounted to only 180,000 taels of silver per month.

Moreover, the arsenal, yarn factory and cement factory established by Wang Bin before also need to consume raw materials, which will consume 30,000 taels of silver every month, and the construction of the cement road that is now underway also requires an investment of 10,000 to 20,000 taels of silver every month.

As well as the loss of the factory when it is put into production, the bulk of this part is mainly in the arsenal, but the cement factory and the yarn factory also have a certain amount of loss, and after adding the loss, 30,000 taels of silver will be deducted every month.

So from these points of view, this money is far from enough, and in addition to the fact that a certain amount of emergency funds must always be kept in the small treasury, this money is really not enough.

After making solid statistics, Wang Bin wrote down the statistics of income and expenditure on a piece of paper

The remaining part of the factory: 150,000

Suppression of bandits: 300,000 yuan in income and 30,000 yuan in expenditure

Arms deals: 200,000 in income, 200,000 in expenditure (per month)

Factory: 30,000 yuan for raw material purchase, 50,000 yuan for production loss (per month)

Road repair: cement road consumption 20,000 (per month)

Military expenses: The military expenses of the fifth town are not consumed by the imperial court, the patrol battalion consumes 6,000 taels, and the income is 15,000 taels (per month)

Total total: minimum monthly consumption of 126,000 taels (not fixed), income of 215,000 taels (fixed)

After writing down these income and expenditure on paper, Wang Bin found that his monthly income was only about 80,000 taels at most.

The rest of the money needs to be slowly praised and used to deal with some unexpected situation in the future.

After completing this statistic, Wang Bin also sighed in his heart: This warlord is Lei, at the beginning, he was still interested in doing it because of curiosity, but now that he has become a small warlord, he feels more and more that he still has to have a certain level to be a warlord.

Not to mention the road of the big warlord in his heart, but Wang Bin thought in a blink of an eye that in this era, there is no other way to protect himself except to be a warlord, although the status of civil officials is higher than that of military officials, but only now.

Many officials do not think that the Qing court will die, but Wang Bin knows that the Qing court will perish, so there is no other way for Wang Bin to go except to move towards the goal of the great warlord.

When Wang Bin was thinking about the future warlord road, Ma Zikai suddenly rushed into the office in a hurry and startled Wang Bin, thinking that something big had happened and hurriedly asked what happened? I came in in such a hurry.

"My lord, something happened in Mongolia!" Ma Zikai replied hurriedly

Wang Bin was also shocked when he heard that something had happened in Mongolia, you must know that Jinzhou is not too far from Mongolia, and if there is any trouble, you can get some news in Jinzhou, but today seeing Ma Zikai's anxious appearance, Wang Bin knew that Mongolia seemed to have a lot of things, so he asked

"What's the matter, so urgent?"

"My lord, the popular rebellion of the Khalkha Left Wing Banner has made a big fuss!" Ma Zikai took a sip of water and continued.

Wang Bin doesn't care about Ma Zikai drinking water from his own cup now, and now Wang Bin is beginning to care about the popular changes in the Khalkha Left Wing Banner.

Wang Bin, the leader of the Khalkha Left Wing Banner, had heard about it before, but at first it was just because the Qing government set off a large number of people in Mongolia to reclaim land and pastures in order to implement the "New Deal".

A large number of immigrants were recruited, making it impossible for the local Mongolian herdsmen to live, and under such circumstances, the masses of the Khalkha Left Wing Banner had a popular uprising.

However, as far as Wang Bin knows, when this popular uprising first appeared, the local area had already made adjustments, so why is it making a big fuss now?

After Wang Bin asked this question, Ma Zikai also hurriedly replied

"My lord, the situation of the civil uprising has indeed been adjusted before, but then I don't know why the civil uprising started again, and this time it is even more serious than before, and many people have participated, the most important thing is that this group of people has a lot of guns in their hands, and the scope of the civil uprising has a tendency to expand."

After Ma Zikai finished speaking, Wang Bin was also a little surprised, he never thought that this popular rebellion had begun to expand, so he was afraid that the imperial court would send a new army to suppress it.

When Wang Bin was thinking like this, he suddenly said to Ma Zikai: "Take the map!" ”

Wang Bin suddenly remembered that until now, he didn't even know where this Khalkha left-wing flag was.

After Ma Zikai took the map, Wang Bin looked at the specific location of the Khalkha Left Wing Banner on the map, and his first reaction was that he was afraid that only one repression would fall on the head of the Fifth Town.

On the map, the Khalkha Left Wing Banner is also relatively close to Jinzhou, located in the northwest of Jinzhou, and the distance from Jinzhou to Xinmin Mansion is about the same, on the way, you only need to pass through Chaoyang and then pass through Chahangol Village to reach the Khalkha Left Wing Banner.

It can be inferred from this that once the imperial court wants to send troops to suppress the civil unrest, it will inevitably send troops from the nearest place to suppress it, and the nearest is only the patrol battalion of Zeng Qi and his fifth town, not to mention that the imperial court will definitely not count on the patrol battalions under Zeng Qi, so it seems that the imperial court will send troops from its fifth town to suppress it, and the subsequent telegram also proves Wang Bin's judgment.
