Chapter 160: Post-War Summary
After dealing with the affairs of Burning Snow City, He Shuai didn't stop too long and had a celebration banquet with a few important members of Burning Snow City, so he returned to Floating Maple City with his people.
As for the treasures seized by Yang Shaojun's General Mansion, he left them to Tang Ling to deal with. Although, what worries him the most now is military spending. However, he did not touch that property.
After all, it is also a very tragic thing to have no battle to fight, as the saying goes, a good cannon is ten thousand taels of gold. There are two meanings here: one is that with the beginning of the war, a lot of manpower, material resources and funds need to be invested. The second is that the winning side of the war can obtain the enemy's opponent, a large amount of material supplies and even abundant resources.
However, He Shuai didn't spend a single soldier in attacking Snow City this time, and his original plan was that the casualties would be around 2,000 soldiers and horses, so that the revenue and expenditure would be balanced. But as a result, there are now more than 10,000 knights and more than 1,000 infantry, archers, magic soldiers, medical soldiers, and catapults, unscathed, waiting to receive their salaries.
No matter what type of soldier it is, once it is summoned, it needs 5 taels of silver per day, which means that it takes 6,000 taels of gold to raise soldiers a day.
"Brother, why are you so sad?" On the way back to Piaofeng City, Liu Peng endured all the way and couldn't help asking, "Now that you are the city lord of Burning Snow City again, half of the servers are ours, why aren't you happy at all?" ”
He Shuai, who was interrupted from his train of thought, sighed and said helplessly: "I'm worried about raising soldiers, we basically need 6,000 taels of gold a day to support our summons." Recovering Snowy City is a good idea to say that their soldiers are already in existence and have their separate financial backing. We don't need to make daily offerings, but what about the soldiers summoned in our territory? ”
"Brother, don't worry, a few days ago, the commercial tax of Piaofeng City was 200,000 taels of silver tickets, plus the 500,000 taels sponsored by Tang Ling, and the income from selling tea, we are still very surplus." Liu Peng, as the Minister of Finance, is rich and arrogant.
He Shuai shook his head, and the idiot on the side smiled: "Big brother, don't we still have the business of the Dynasty Dart Bureau and the grocery store, we won't lose money, right?" ”
"I think we should still send more cavalry of the Knights to the Imperial Dart Bureau. Didn't the eldest brother come back and say that he had consulted with the city lords of the other two cities, and opened up a new battlefield earlier to make up for the gap in money. The little doctor advised.
"I agree with our helper's suggestion! After all, we are now the same family as Snow City, and there can be no more war between them. With 20,000 men and horses in Snowy City ready to mobilize, and a few defenders in our city to maintain law and order, it will be enough. Youyan Wuhuo interjected, "I'm right, goddess helper!" ”
The original intention of having smoke and no fire was to please the little doctor, but who would have thought that people would ignore him, but he amused the other brothers.
After listening to the thoughts of the brothers, He Shuai nodded and concluded: "Use it reasonably, the Imperial Dart Bureau will be our next focus, and invest 5,000 knights to open up trade between Chiba and Phoenix as soon as possible!" How much can be earned, who may be cut off this financial road one day. ”
"Not really, brother? That Zhou Yongjian from Chiba City is hard to say, but Sister Xiao Chen will still fight with us? Liu Peng asked in disbelief.
"Who do you say?" The idiot sniffed out the difference between Liu Peng's words and asked in surprise.
He Shuai rode a horse and said with a smile: "You all know each other, it's Chen Lu, she is now the city lord of Phoenix City!" I came back yesterday and was busy with the military parade, so I forgot to tell you. Ha ha. ”
"Does she still have time to play games?" The violent doctor, who had not spoken, was surprised, "Isn't she the busiest person in the whole group of companies?" ”
"I can't believe it, we've always guessed that the city lord of Phoenix City is a flowery old woman." The idiot said, he was convinced that the old city lord had said that the previous city lords of Phoenix City were all immortal.
"No, wait, wait. Do you mean that the female city lord of Phoenix City is Miss Chen, the big beautiful secretary of our company? You Yan Wuhuo couldn't keep up with the reaction and asked, "Does she still have time to play games?" ”
"Pretty, isn't it!?" The little doctor narrowed his eyes and asked.
I don't know if there is smoke or fire, so I replied casually: "It's very beautiful, and I don't know what she looks like in ancient costumes, I really regret not following my eldest brother to the banquet." ”
Caicai's little doctor blushed, took out his staff and slowly walked to Youyanwuhuo's side, knocked him off the horse with a stick and scolded with a smile: "You kid nymphomaniac!" ”
There was smoke and no fire and fell off the horse and fell a dog to chew, and just wanted to say a few witty words, and instantly my brain brightened a lot. Got up and patted the dead skin on his body and said with a smile: "Of course, in my eyes, no one can catch up with my beautiful gang leader, right?" All the male players who watched the whole process secretly gave him a thumbs up.
When the little doctor heard him say this, he snorted coldly and ignored him, but his heart was already happy.
"Big brother, she shouldn't attack us, right?" The idiot asked.
"No, it's a game after all, and now that we're in different forces, there's no fun for her not to fight us." He Shuai smiled, "Let's go, speed up the march, and I'll go to the company to talk to her later." With that, he whipped up his horse and quickened his pace.
"Rush, brothers! The first one to arrive at Piaofeng City will be rewarded by the gang......" Before Finance Minister Liu Peng finished speaking, the players had already waved the horsewhips in their hands and swept away with a burst of sand.
Back in Drifting Maple City, He Shuai found the two masters and reported what happened at the banquet and Burning Snow City.
Regarding He Shuai's performance and the ease of sitting on the city lord of Burning Snow City, the two old men were very calm, as if everything was expected. The advice they gave was only eight words: "Guard against arrogance and rashness, play life!" ”
said goodbye to the two masters, and Shuai went offline.
looked up at the time, and it turned out that he had been in the game for three whole days, and he didn't know that he was not pulled offline by Wang Nan to eat.
Only then did he remember that Wang Nan did not appear among his friends who watched the game just now, and he had encountered her in the morning parade, and then disappeared after eating.
He Shuai came downstairs and saw that the door of Wang Nan's room was hidden, he tiptoed open the door and saw Wang Nan reading a diary. He quietly walked over and said with a smile: "Sister Xiao Nan, what are you looking at?" ”
Wang Nan was shocked, and when he saw the person who came, he patted his chest, gasped and said, "Bad little handsome, you scared me to death!" What, enough of it? ”
He Shuai turned his head around embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Why don't you ask me to eat, didn't you say yes." ”
Wang Nan recovered his expression and said with a wicked smile: "Didn't you eat well in the game at noon, there are fish and ducks!" Are you still hungry? It's strange to say that she has eaten a little in the game these days, and she doesn't feel hungry after going offline. This game is too real, so she will let Shuai play the game and leave him alone.
Seeing that this was not a topic, He Shuai hurriedly looked at the notebook in Wang Nan's hand, and there were several books next to it, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Xiao Nan, what is this?" ”
"It's my father's diary, and I'm going to try to be a housekeeper!" Wang Nan said proudly.
He Shuai took a copy casually and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang's handwriting is really good, hey, how is it so mutilated here......" I saw that more than half of the middle of a diary was torn off, and in the back was a photo of Wang Nan in the hospital when he was a baby.
