"Humph! This general is the Nanyang Taishou and General Zhenwei who are personally awarded by the saint today, and the Yellow Turban thieves who have been destroyed in their hands are more than 10 million. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Ben will need to covet the position of the city lord of the starting point of this district? As for the existence of the starting point city, it is difficult for all the adults to rush to sleep. Ben will also be willing to be an adult beauty. It is not possible to use the self-respect of the army, such a big hat to cover the general, it is not good to say. ”

"Stand down! This assassin is discussing with Ye Taishou, how can he be honest and frame Taishou? However, since Brother Ye is willing to be an adult, then the eldest brother is here to thank you in advance! ”

"Slow down! Listen to me. It's not impossible to sell the starting point city, but the cost is too great. Little brother, I didn't know before, Lord Thorn Shi liked this starting point city, so under the name of the younger brother, hundreds of cities are all named in the name of the starting point city. Transfer ownership, what a big loss for the younger brother! ”

"What's so difficult about this, just spread it out."

"In addition, the establishment of the starting point city was actually built with private investment by the younger brother. Not to mention the huge upfront costs. Let's just say that in the later period, in order to defend the starting point city, the people in the city suffered heavy casualties, and the pension and materials were borne by the younger brother alone. ”

"Good! Even if Jingzhou City acquires the starting point city, the cost will be calculated for you as soon as it is issued. ”

"Also, the younger brother raised 300,000 troops from the starting point city. Then, all the way to the siege of the city and plundered the village, the army grew to 2 million, during which there were countless casualties, and the elite changed a few times. This pension and combat consumption are all supported by the starting point city! In fact, they are all borrowed from the starting point city as collateral! Today, the city is in debt. If Lord Thorn Shi is willing to accept it, these debts are all guaranteed by the face of the younger brother! ”

"This ...... The debt problem was originally to pacify the Yellow Turban Army. Now, the Yellow Turban Army has just been pacified, and there is a shortage of money everywhere. Let's hold off for a while. It is not too late to wait until Jingzhou's finances are well-off. After all, it's all for the court to pacify the Yellow Turban Army! ”

"Haha, what this little brother said doesn't count! These debts were all guaranteed by the younger brother and borrowed from several people. One is that the original cavalry captain Cao Cao Mengde borrowed money. It is said that Cao Mengde's silver money was borrowed from Yuan Highway, Yuan Benchu, and Zhang Rang, the middle attendant. The second is the younger brother of the general, and He Miao borrowed money. So, I'm afraid that even if the younger brother wants to have a good time, I'm afraid that others won't agree! ”

Li Tang is running the train with his mouth full anyway, and he is not afraid of others to verify it. Don't ask about borrowing money.

"Oh!"

Wang Rui didn't suspect that Li Tang was talking nonsense. After all, Li Tang was born in the grass. At a young age, building a city is already commendable! Maintain so many large armies, and go out to fight all year round. It would not have been possible without a lot of military and material spending. Even if it is relied on seizure, it is not enough.

Therefore, if you want to maintain it, you have to pay for it yourself. It is estimated that Li Tang does not have the support of the big family, so he can only borrow.

"The city's debts were originally prepared to be paid back slowly. If Lord Thorn is willing to take it, that's the best. ”

"How much debt do you have?"

"Not much. 2 million troops, five years of conquest, an average of 15 gold coins per person, per person, horses, grain and grass, and material consumption. There are also salaries, pensions, and disability allowances, and 5 gold coins is not much. There are also losses and losses in the delivery of materials, consumption of coachmen and horses, and so on. Therefore, the lowly only borrowed 300 million gold, which is not much at all! As for the value of the starting point city itself, it is not worth mentioning at all, so give it to Lord Thorn Shi and talk about it! ”

To be honest, if Wang Rui really gave so much money, Li Tang would definitely happily sell the starting point city. Even if the starting point city is a city with silver attributes, Li Tang is willing to do it. After all, it is extremely difficult for others to seize the starting point city, but for Li Tang, it is definitely very easy. Li Tang was able to leave a secret passage in the starting point of the new city, and naturally he was able to leave a secret passage to attack the city at the starting point.

"Sizzle! That's too much, isn't it? ”

Although Wang Rui knew that Li Tang was blackmailing, there was no way to check it. If you go to Li Tang's side to check, I don't know how many years I want to check!

"These are lowly secured loans. The starting point of the city is there, and these debts can be repaid. The starting point city is gone, and these debts must be paid off in one go. The humble office can only convert these debts into the bank, so that the bank can repay the debts of the lowly office. Master Thorn Shi only needs to take over the debts of the bank, so that he doesn't have to pay it off all at once! ”

"Humph! It's clear that you're blackmailing under the pretext! ”

It was the staff member who was originally kicked out by Wang Rui's speech. However, I can't figure out why he hasn't left yet, and he's still talking here. Wang Rui didn't feel any surprise about this. He didn't seem to remember that he had ever kicked him out of the hall.

"Haha! Lord Wang Cang, why do you say this! In fact, the lower officials are not willing to make such a decision! When it comes to borrowing, pay attention to credibility. Nowadays, it is no longer possible to fake money deals. Therefore, Xia Guan would rather keep these debts than sell the starting point city! ”

"Strong words! You have repeatedly obstructed and forcibly stranded the army in the starting point city, could it be that you covet Jingzhou City and want to rebel? ”

"Wronged! Ben Taishou really didn't mean that! Lord Wang Cang, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! However, you are only because the starting point city threatens the safety of Jingzhou City. Talk about it early! It's easy to do. If you said it earlier, why would it be so embarrassing! Actually! I'm just a martial artist, a rough man. Pay attention to straightness, and the most important thing is not to beat around the bush. After talking for a long time, I thought that everyone had the same vision as me, and they all liked the starting point city! ”

"Humph!"

"Zhong Xuan, don't be rude! Brother, tell me about it, but is there any simple solution? ”

"Lend!"

"Lending? What is a lease? ”

"Actually! Lend-lease is just a name. The solution can refer to the method of Xu Tingshi back then. With a precedent, why do you have so many fancy intestines? ”

"Hmmm! Feasible! ”

"Nope! Of course, it can't be exactly the same. After all, the environment has changed, and the conditions can't be the same! Even in the previous time, there was a lot of exchange. ”

"Well said."

"What Xiangyang City is worried about is that the starting point city is within the defense right of Xiangyang City, and there is a threat to the defense of Xiangyang City. At this point, handing over the garrison rights of the starting point city will solve the problem! ”

"Good! This is the most critical point. ”

"However, the starting point city has been relinquished for 10 years. Then, the taxes of the starting point city must be reduced in exchange. After all, the starting point still has so much debt to pay. Moreover, the military expenses of the garrison, the starting point city is not borne. ”

"This! That's it! Although the tax revenue generated by the starting point city is quite large, it is not worth mentioning compared to the strategic location of the starting point city. ”

"In addition, the garrison right of this starting point city is limited to the starting point new city. Starting point, within the old city area, no garrison can be allowed. Moreover, the city lord is in the old city at the starting point, and the garrison left behind will not exceed 20,000 people. At the same time, the security power in the city is all handed over to the starting city itself. ”

"This is very different from the beginning! By the way, the ownership of the starting point city should belong to Jingzhou City. ”

"This time and that time! Xiangyang City is only worried about its own safety. Now, the garrison is in the starting point city, which can perfectly solve this problem. So, wouldn't it be extra to take ownership of the starting city? In addition, the other cities of the lowly position are also named in the starting city. It is difficult for some strong people to hand over ownership! ”

……

A war of words. In the end, Li Tang gave in and gave up the 10-year garrison right of the starting point city, in exchange for the starting point city for 10 years without paying taxes.

Speaking of which, it's also a win-win. At least, Jingzhou City doesn't have to worry about the threat of Starting Point City. Even if there is another passage in the starting point city that is not controlled by Xiangyang City, as long as the Xiangyang army firmly holds the starting point new city, it can still be stuck and prevent others from entering the range of Xiangyang City.

As for Wang Rui, he also hoped to lease the land in the new city of the starting point, which was used for resting, stationing, and hoarding materials for the army. However, Li Tang's asking price is too high. Therefore, Wang Rui was only willing to rent a place in the city to hoard materials, grain and grass. The grounds for the rest and training of the army were arranged outside the city walls of the starting point of the new city.

To this end, Wang Rui built a number of solid dock forts outside the city walls, which were connected to the city walls of the starting point city and used to hoard soldiers.

Of course, in Li Tang's view, this is to help Li Tang build defensive measures! Because, outside the city wall, that is the territory of Xiangyang City, Li Tang cannot build any buildings there. Now, Wang Rui is helping with the construction, and Li Tang is too late to be happy! Although, Li Tang will also symbolically protest.

The army that was saved, Li Tang built a city on the opposite side of the Han River, corresponding to the water village of the starting point city, and these armies were arranged in this city. With this city, if others want to attack the starting point city of Shuizhai, they have to weigh it.

"Lord Thorn Shi, in this starting city, the humble position has made a huge concession! It can be said that it was because of the great trust in Lord Thorn Shi that he would hand over his back to Lord Thorn Shi. However, there is one more thing, I hope that Lord Assassin Shi can help solve the urgent need of the lowly position! ”

"What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

"Such. Presumably, Lord Assassin Shi also knew that at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court had called on all forces to organize an army and annihilate the Yellow Turban Army. Then, according to the size of the merit, you can receive a reward from the imperial court. And the imperial court pushed the matter to the local government. ”

"Yes, there is such a thing!"

"Hmmm! The Nanyang area suffered greatly from the Yellow Turban Army. At the same time, there are many benevolent and righteous people in this place. They organized rebel armies one after another, joined in to resist the Yellow Turban Army, and made a lot of contributions. Now, the Yellow Turban Army has been pacified, so they came to Nanyang County to cash in the reward. The cities of Nanyang were originally ransacked by the Yellow Turban Army, and they were poor and white. Naturally, I can't afford to pay, so I hope the state city can help one or two! ”
