Chapter 4: Expressing Your Opinions
Ye Biao presided over the meeting, and Li Tang observed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, when it comes to understanding Linhai City, Li Tang is never as good as Ye Biao, so having Ye Biao to preside over it can definitely prevent Li Tang from making a fool of himself.
Li Tang started first:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have the weather in Linhai City today, and everyone here is indispensable. The generals were able to fight on the battlefield, pacify the life, and eliminate the pirates, which really made a great contribution. Ladies and gentlemen, you have been able to manage the internal affairs of many cities in our Linhai City in an orderly manner, and have ensured the logistical supply and equipment production of the front-line soldiers, and have agreed to make great contributions.
It is all of you who perform your duties that can make Linhai City develop and grow step by step. Thank you all and please accept me! ”
After speaking, Li Tang bowed deeply. The crowd immediately returned the salute:
"Serve the Lord!"
Li Tangyou then said to Ye Biao:
"Speaking of which, Linhai City can be managed in an orderly manner, and you have the most thoughts! In fact, you still know the best about the current situation in Linhai City! You have spoken to all the soldiers, and let them know what we have achieved today! ”
Ye Biao clasped his fists and saluted Li Tang:
"Thank you, Lord."
Then he said to the crowd:
"Under the wise guidance of the lord, in just two years, our Linhai City has developed from a small seaside village to a group of cities with territories covering the Penghu Islands, Yizhou Island, and Ryukyu Islands.
Today, we have built and occupied 136 cities, and more than 1,000 market towns. Of course, the vast majority of cities are located in special places. This achievement is estimated to be unmatched by no one except our lord. ”
Everyone stood up and congratulated.
"In addition, the population of our territory today has reached 240 million, and there are more than 15 million elite soldiers, and these soldiers are the elite of the elite, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one is ten. Moreover, many of our people have been naturalized, and they have initially accepted the edification of our Chinese civilization, and they are no longer slash-and-burn, and they are barbaric. ”
"In the past two years, the wind and rain in our city have been smooth, especially the fields in the special place have been fully developed, and everywhere is the land of fish and rice! The annual output here alone is enough for the people of the territory to eat for two years. In addition, there are other territories, and the development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery is also extremely prosperous. ”
"Although the city has been greatly developed, it is far from reaching its maximum potential, and there is still a long way to go."
"Nowadays, the tax revenue of the city is basically enough to sustain the development of the various cities, and cannot supply the food of the large armies everywhere. Although, a large amount of supplies can be captured in the city that conquers Shengfan, which is enough to supply the army. However, we must vigorously develop these cities, and for this reason, we still need to coordinate some supplies to these cities.
And those newly established cities are poor and white, and they need the financial resources of Linhai City to develop. In other words, our army is still able to feed the war and maintain the cost of the army. Moreover, we still have a large number of our own industries, such as shipyards, equipment workshops, medicine workshops, fishing workshops, salt workshops, etc., which still have a large amount of output. ”
"Of course, the Blood Shark Legion and the Blue Whale Legion are all legions that can be profitable. The Kunpeng Legion is the God of Wealth, providing a lot of profits over the years, and at the same time helping the territory export a lot of output. The Blue Dragon Legion, the Lion Awakening Legion, and the Qilin Legion are all cavalry, which are not suitable for mountain and jungle combat.
At present, it serves as the garrison of various cities, and there is basically no output. But fortunately, there are furs and other materials that have accumulated for many years in Shengfan City, which are not worth much money on weekdays, but these furs are sold to the mainland, and they are absolutely best-selling materials, especially when the world is unstable, fur is a good material for armor! At the same time, a large number of seizures from the dream space, these items are very valuable and very popular, and now basically half of them have been sold. ”
Li Tang suddenly remembered that he had indeed seized a large number of treasures in the dreamspace, and the treasures were all looted by the Mongols from all over the country. Therefore, many treasures are priceless.
"At present, we spend a lot of money on military expenses, special service transfer costs, soldier training costs, infrastructure costs, and management remuneration. Due to the relatively rich accumulation in the early stage, there is now a surplus of 830 million gold coins. Although these surpluses are large, they are not very large compared to the expenses of the city as a whole. The total cost of our current city is nearly 700 million per year. This is still a very economical situation! ”
"So much?"
Li Tang was still stunned when he heard that there was so much surplus. Li Tang usually shakes his hands and is in charge, and he actually has no concept of how much property he has.
You must know that the surplus is 830 million gold coins, which is 8.3 trillion soft sister coins! This money is enough to cause a currency depreciation in the future.
However, as soon as I heard that the annual expenses would be 700 million, I immediately collapsed.
How did the original funds come from, Li Tang knows best, the first source is robbery, the second source is robbery, and the third source is open robbery.
However, robbery is not a good thing! It's easy to rob, but it's hard to find someone to rob! Opportunities like robberies in the dreamspace are even more difficult to come by.
In this way, 830 million gold coins have been accumulated, which shows how rare wealth accumulation is!
Only Li Tang dared to interrupt Ye Biao's words, but Ye Biao said to Li Tang without the slightest displeasure:
"Returning to my lordship, our army is now huge. There were almost 20 million sergeants of all kinds, and all their expenses were paid from the city. Their salary is not high, on average only 5 gold coins per year, but their auxiliary expenses such as food, clothing, armor, mounts, forage, boats, etc., are as high as 8 gold coins on average, and the cost of this piece alone has reached 260 million gold coins.
In addition, there are also training expenses for non-commissioned soldiers, transfer expenses for special troops, salaries for city managers, city construction costs, etc., which can be said to be bottomless. If you want to develop faster, these costs will be more, and if the costs are not enough, you can develop slowly without being too anxious. ”
Hearing this, Li Tang sighed slowly, as long as he can maintain the normal operation of the territory, slow down! As long as you don't go bankrupt, it's a good thing! All of this is Ye Biao's operation, and he has never mentioned the difficulties to Li Tang, and Li Tang has never learned about it from Ye Biao.
At this time, Li Tang gave Ye Biao a look and said:
"Uncle has worked hard!"
"That's what I'm supposed to do."
"Today, there are more than 110 Shengfan cities and many Shengfan villages and towns that are threatened by the outside of Linhai City, and these towns are all inland, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to attack. Although these cities do not threaten us at the moment, if they are captured by others, they will inevitably become a nail in the nail around our territory and pose a great threat to us.
Therefore, these places must be eradicated and occupied. Our ultimate goal is to secure our own power in the waters of Penghu, Yizhou Island, and the Ryukyu Islands. ”
"There are also sporadic pirates from the outside. However, after such a long period of sweeping, although there are still many pirate forces in Greater Shanghai, there are almost no more near our territory. Of course, our ultimate goal is to ensure that the seas are only filled with pirate forces that are at the mercy of our coastal city. ”
……
"The entire Linhai City has basically embarked on the road of benign development, and with such a steady development for five years, our Linhai City forces can definitely become a decisive force."
But now Linhai City is faced with a choice. Everyone knows that the world is about to be in chaos, and the Yellow Turban Army has rebelled, and its ability is huge, and it is estimated that it will be able to change the dynasty. How to stand in line is related to the development direction of Linhai City. Therefore, the lord and all the brothers must carefully consider and ensure the stability and development of our Linhai City in the future, and ensure the interests of all the people in Linhai City. ”
Ye Biao did not recount other nonsense, and directly pointed out the theme of today's meeting, which is also the most urgent theme to be determined at present. That is, the future development of Linhai City.
"This corner is too, but it's a good day, what kind of rebellion! Rebellion is a thief, it should be exterminated by the nine clans, the foundation of the Han Dynasty continues to this day, is it easy! ”
It was Huang Zhong who spoke.
After Huang Zhong's words were finished, many people echoed and agreed, which shows that many people still have their hearts set on the court.
Of course, this is not what Li Tang expected, the people at this time, the idea of loyalty and righteousness is actually firmly rooted in the hearts of ordinary people. Only those wealthy families and gentry have a broader vision, and they pay more attention to interests than loyalty.
"There's no way around it! Nowadays, the mainland is not as good as my coastal city realm. The blessing of the lord of my Linhai City has been smooth in recent years, and the people have lived a hard life, but no one starved to death or froze to death. In addition, the Lord's policy can help those who are disabled and lonely to avoid the suffering of extreme cold, and children can get a certain education. In this respect, although the mainland is far ahead of us in the development of civilization, it has not been able to catch up with us in terms of education and education. ”
Since there are people who want the court, there are naturally people who are dissatisfied with the court. Because many of the generals in Linhai City were bankrupt peasants, and there were also people who were persecuted by the imperial court and had to fall into the grass, such as the tsunami who spoke at this moment.
Of course, the tsunami speech will also have a group that they support.
"Where's my credit! We're just a small boat and it's a good U-turn! It is the painstaking efforts of the generals and the cities that have made the hearts of the people in our Linhai City territory stable! ”
Li Tang said modestly, but he didn't say anything. Because, Li Tang wanted to see what the generals thought.
"Then the mainland is fine, how can there be a civil uprising? Looking at the momentum, it is not small, is it premeditated? ”
The speaker was a representative from the dream space, Ah Shu, that is, Tang Shu after the name change.
"There are many reasons for this! Now the Han Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, and the population has multiplied. The originally surplus fields gradually became strained.
Thank you for the encouragement of "Hongmeng Junior"!
