……
On the morning of November 28, 4858 in the Guangming calendar, You Chengzong, the ambassador of the new army, and Lu Fengxian, the freshly baked household servant, came to the door. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lu Fengxian was promoted to this position by Buchen a while ago, because he was the only businessman in the Buchen family, and he was a trustworthy person, and after systematically learning some black information provided by Buchen, this benevolent brother had surpassed most of the Yun Dynasty officials in terms of accounting ability, so Buchen asked Emperor Yun to draft a decree and gave him the official title of Hubu Shilang.
However, although he is just a squire and not a scholar, the power in the hands of this Lu Shilang is not small at all, the problem of spending money in the treasury and the emperor's inner treasury can be decided in a word, and even the genuine Hubu Shangshu did not intervene, and suddenly became a hot figure in the court, although the civil officials were scolding him behind his back for being a fourth-class pariah, but on the surface, he had to be harmonious, and it was very much that Director Lu, who had not been looked down upon all his life, raised his eyebrows, and after becoming an official, When Li Blacksmith persuaded him to take refuge in Buchen, he once said that as long as he gave his life to Buchen, he would be able to make a lot of money, and high-ranking officials would have to sit, and now it has come true!
"What's the matter with you two coming to me?" Buchen asked them with dark circles under his eyes and yawned.
You Chengzong couldn't help frowning when he looked at him: "Nochen, how did you become so virtuous?" ”
Buchen waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, I've paid too much public grain recently!" ”
"Young master, there is a knife on the head of the color word, you must know how to control it!" Lu Feng persuaded him with great painstaking words, his current position of power is not subordinate, if he is not subordinate, he is estimated to have a good death, and even the nine clans may be implicated.
"Understood, understood, tell me what you came to me for!" Buchen waved his hand a little impatiently.
You Chengzong and Lu Fengxian glanced at each other, and finally Lu Fengxian said: "Young master, the money is not enough to spend!" ”
"What?!" I didn't hear it.
"There's not enough money to spend!" You Chengzong said loudly.
Now that Buchen heard it clearly, he said with a shocked face: "How is this possible? We have the treasury and the royal treasury in our hands! ”
"Young master, you don't know, when we take over these two warehouses, they will be empty enough to run horses, recently in order to train the new army, Ambassador You and I are demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall, I don't know how much effort it takes, but it is still a lot worse than the original budget!" Lu Fengxian said with a bitter face,
"But...... How could the treasury and the royal treasury be without money? "No, I still don't understand.
"Hey! It's not that this natural disaster and the war in the northwest made trouble, the natural disaster lasted for several years, the harvest of the land in the whole world decreased sharply, the country's income was a lot less, the northwest liukou has recently made a big fuss, the imperial court has buried a total of more than 800,000 crusade army, just the opening fee of these armies, rewards and pensions after the defeat will empty the treasury, for this matter, at that time Emperor Yun also took out the money of the inner treasury to fill a part, although the Beijing division of the forbidden army was all disbanded, saving a sum of money and food, but it is still not enough to train the new army, According to the training method you provided, the consumption of just one soldier is seven or eight times that of the original forbidden army, and you still have to train 100,000 forbidden troops, how is this enough? ”
Buchen rubbed his temples, he really thought it was simple, thinking that he would not be short of money after getting the treasury and the royal treasury, but he didn't expect to take over the two messes.
"How many soldiers have you recruited now?" Buchen turned his head and asked Lao You.
"Exactly fifty thousand!" Lao You replied.
"Fifty thousand? Have all the weapons and armor been distributed? Buchen asked again.
"These people have all their equipment." Lao You nodded.
"How's your training going?"
"Under the strict training of the fifty instructors you provided, it is now quite the same, but the number of instructors is too small, and it has to be rotated continuously."
Buchen tapped the bookcase in front of him with his knuckles, recently in order to make those hundred NPCs run normally, he has to find time every day to correct the working state of several NPCs, even then he feels very tired, if the number of NPCs is doubled, he can't bear it, so the option of increasing manpower is not feasible!
"Fengxian, can the workers and families in your factory defend themselves?" Don't ask Lu Shilang.
"Are you going to send the fifty people who stayed behind to watch the factory as instructors?" Lu Fengxian understood as soon as he heard it.
Buchen nodded and asked, "Is it feasible?" ”
"Not feasible!" Lu Fengxian's head shook like a rattle, "The workers are very tired just working every day, and it's okay for the old and weak women and children to help out, but it's not possible to use them as the main force!" ”
Buchen sighed, it seemed that his lavish court life was coming to an end.
"In this way, Lao You, I will transfer another thirty NPC armor soldiers to you as instructors, and I will move back to Zhuangzi to live by myself, right?"
Lu Fengxian and You Chengzong glanced at each other and nodded, this plan is acceptable to them, and they can rest assured that they are not in charge of the factory.
"The instructor's matter was barely solved, what about the money?" Lao You's brows were still tightly wrinkled, he was mainly here for money today.
"Is there enough money and food for the 50,000 people now?" Buchen asked.
"It only lasts three months!" Lu Fengxian raised three fingers.
"Even 50,000 people can only last three months?" Buchen asked in surprise.
Lu Fengxian nodded cautiously.
Buchen rubbed his forehead sadly and asked, "Aren't there a lot of rare treasures in the palace?" How about selling all these things for money? "Now although Emperor Yun has returned to live in the palace, his Forbidden City is still under the control of the new army of the ministers, and if the ministers are not willing, they can sell this palace.
Lu Fengxian smiled bitterly: "Young master, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, those rare treasures can be sold at sky-high prices in the peaceful and prosperous world, but it is difficult to sell them at a price now!" ”
Buchen is about to vomit blood, why is it that once he is in power, nothing is worthless?
"It seems that throttling is not feasible, so let's find a way to open source!" Buchen tapped his knuckles on the table and thought, "Since the 50,000 new troops have been armed, don't buy them any more equipment, at the moment the whole world is in chaos, or arms are the most profitable, so in the future, the arsenal will go all out to produce swords, guns and armor and sell them to foreigners." ”
Lu Fengxian knew that the foreigners he was referring to were those brown-clothed people, but he was still a little hesitant about selling weapons and equipment to brown-clothed people: "Young master, the details of the brown-clothed merchant who bought our equipment last time have been clarified, it is the person of Prince Ladd of the Eastern Governor's Mansion, if we sell it again, these equipment will fall into the hands of Prince Ladd's family, but I heard that Prince McGee's family is your friend." King of Faith's Charlie's financiers and puppets, if our equipment keeps flowing into the hands of Prince Ladd's family, I am afraid that the battle situation in the Western Continent will become unfavorable to His Majesty Charlie! ”
Buchen blinked, he was about to forget all the things he had done with Charlie Andris in Xilu, and he only remembered it when he heard Lu Fengxian.
"If that's the case, you'll really have to think about it carefully." Buchen frowned and said, "Is there a way to contact Charlie's people?" ”
Lu Fengxian shook his head: "The western coast of the Mediterranean Sea is completely under the control of the Eastern Governor's Mansion of the Brown Empire, and our people can't connect with His Majesty Charlie. ”
"Stupid!" Buchen glared at him, "Why do you always want to go to the Mediterranean?" Go out into the endless ocean! The planets are all round, as long as you send someone from our endless ocean port and go around to the other side of this planet, won't you be able to reach the coastline of the Xifu Governor's Palace? ”
Lu Fengxian was dumbfounded, the planet they live on is round or something, although he had heard Buchen mention it when chatting before, but he never thought that he could go around from one side to the other, and this is too crazy, right? Into the depths of the Endless Ocean?
"The endless ocean outside is too treacherous, not to mention the high wind and waves, and there are sea monsters." You Chengzong told Buchen everything he had heard about the Endless Ocean outside.
"That's okay!" Buchen waved his hand violently, "Equip the expedition ship with enough and strong enough artillery, and send the most experienced sailors to use the best navigation methods." ”
You Chengzong and Lu Fengxian glanced at each other, although Buchen said it easily, they both knew how sinister this matter was, but if he didn't insist, he could give it a try.
"Is that equipment still for sale?" Lu Fengxian asked.
Buchen thought for a moment and replied: "Let's sell less first!" After all, it is important to alleviate the economic crisis, and when we contact Charlie in the future, we will sell it together! He should be able to understand. ”
You Chengzong and Lu Fengxian both nodded, I don't know if King Charlie can understand it, anyway, even if he can't understand it, Charlie doesn't dare to turn his face with Buchen, who has mastered a large number of high-quality arms.
"In addition, let's take a good look at the development of various service industries in Beijing, this is Bei'an Mansion, which has a population of three million and countless wealthy businessmen. Don't be subordinate.
You Chengzong and Lu Fengxian didn't understand this, so they had to listen to him and imagine it.
"Well, my idea is to start with sports and Bo~Cai, then enter the entertainment industry, and finally firmly grasp these markets in our hands!" The way of not being complacent.
"That, young master, everything is over, I have something to do, so I'll leave first!" Lu Fengxian felt that it was like listening to a book from heaven, and in the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he found an excuse to flash people.
"Shhhh You're a factory manager! Looking at Lu Fengxian, who ran out of the door after speaking, he scolded angrily, and then turned to Lao You, just wanted to continue to talk about his great idea, but found that Lao You had fallen asleep on the table.
"You Chengzong, you are also a soldier leader!" Don't be annoyed.
