Chapter 831: Pension
"Now in the past half a month, I have captured the gateway of Taiyuan County, and I am about to expel Liu Yu'er to the north!"
"According to the gambling contract, you have to make up for all my food and grass consumption now!"
Zhao Hai shouted angrily, putting huge pressure on the other party.
In fact, Taiyuan County did not really fight down, but the opposite side did not talk about martial arts and virtues, and killed 20,000 athletes under his command, so he was not welcome.
Qian He looked at Zhao Hai's face, and immediately knew that he was afraid that he was going to bleed heavily.
But the expenditure was too big, and he didn't really want to give.
"Your Majesty, but, right now, Taiyuan County, hasn't the main city been taken down yet? According to the old minister, can you wait until Your Majesty takes down the main city of Taiyuan County? ”
"Huh?" Zhao Hai's face immediately turned cold, "You still dare to bargain with me?" Do you really think I don't know, what did you do? ”
"Gongsun Jian, come on, continue to give us Qian Guogong to loosen his muscles!"
"Don't! Don't, Your Majesty! The old minister is wrong! "Qian Guogong is really scared.
He was really not afraid of death just now, but now that he is finally in the aftermath of the catastrophe, he can leave a small life and let people beat him to death, he has no backbone.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing, willing to spend all the military expenses for Your Majesty this time to attack Taiyuan County now, and ask Your Majesty for forgiveness."
His face was as ugly as a piece of pork liver.
After all, not only did he fail to achieve the goal of letting Liu Yuer defeat Zhao Hai and demoralize Zhao Hai this time, but he lost the bet and was roasted on the fire by Zhao Hai.
Now, to spend such a large amount of money, it can be said that it is a total loss.
And now, in the entire Chengming Palace, the ministers who spoke for Qian He just now, as well as the families, are silent.
At this time, the emperor had actually made concessions, and if anyone dared to go up to find trouble, they would definitely be cleaned up.
The bet is basically Zhao Hai won.
Zhao Hai captured the important town of Guankou, and then attacked the main city of Taiyuan County, in fact, it will not be long.
Because the main city of Taiyuan County has no passes at all, it is difficult to fight the important town.
Now Zhao Hai wants the other party to fulfill the agreement in advance, which is also the privilege of the emperor, and it is not too bullying.
Moreover, Qian He secretly operated and sent a batch of machine crossbows over, which finally caused Zhao Hai to lose more than 10,000 of the Great Qin elites, and no one dared to mention it.
Obviously, once this is said, the situation will not be in their favor.
"Good! You're good enough, I like it. Zhao Hai smiled and clapped his hands.
"Come, Ah Zhen, tell him, this time, we are in Taiyuan County, how many people have been lost? How much military rations were spent? ”
Zhao Hai said, and winked at Ah Zhen.
Ah Zhen immediately understood what this meant, this was to let this Qian He pay the due price for those brave soldiers who died.
"Back to Your Majesty, this time, we besieged the gateway of Taiyuan County, and it is also the barrier of Taiyuan County, a key pass town, and we have suffered heavy losses."
"Because this is an easy to defend and difficult terrain, and under the situation of the opponent's crossbows, we have more than 29,000 soldiers killed, and countless people have been slightly injured and seriously injured."
"All the pensions, plus the due consumption of military rations, totaled 90 million dollars."
"Moreover, these are not counting the wear and tear of armor weapons and so on, there should be new consumption in the future."
Hearing this, Qian He almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood.
When Zhao Hai crossed over last year and took over the Great Qin State, there were almost only a few million dollars in the treasury.
In this half-month battle, 80 million dollars were used.
Even when the last time I encircled and suppressed the Yuzhong Society, I didn't seize so many things at all.
You can imagine how exaggerated this amount is.
"You...... You're a lion's mouth, it's appalling! ”
"Didn't my Great Qin Kingdom fight before? Why haven't you heard of such a big expense? ”
"Didn't you say that there were close to 20,000 dead and wounded? How is it that now there are already twenty-nine thousand dead alone? ”
Ah Zhen sneered, "What's wrong?" Shouldn't it? More than 29,000 people, isn't it also more than 20,000 people? What's the problem? ”
"You!" Qian He blew his beard angrily.
With so much money, he himself lives in a super luxurious way, and he can't use it up in his lifetime.
Now that he has to give it to the army in the court, how can he swallow this breath?
He was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, but he still didn't dare to say anything, because Zhao Hai was standing next to Ah Zhen and supporting this righteous son.
"Okay, that's 29,000 people, plus your tens of thousands of food and grass consumption."
"It's not like you can use so many things, right? Why do you spend so much? ”
Hearing this, Ah Zhen immediately became anxious, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to step forward to beat people, "My brothers all died fighting for the country!" ”
"They didn't even have their lives, and you're still struggling with this place, how much to use and how little to use?"
"When they die, the old and weak in their family will not live? What's too much for one person to give a few thousand dollars as a pension? That's 80 million, that's less! ”
"Tens of thousands of mouths are opened every day, and they have to eat food when they open their mouths, whether they fight or not, military horses, weapons, and armor all need to be maintained!"
"Moreover, originally, the grain was controlled by some people, and even His Majesty couldn't collect it, so it was hoarded in some people's granaries!"
"The grain we eat is all food bought by His Majesty at a high price! A little more expensive is also forced by some people! ”
"The figures that General Ben said are already very conservative, considering that the foundation of the Qian Guogong family is thin! Otherwise, it will only be more! ”
He stepped forward, his eyes like a tiger, looking at the other party's gaze, full of intimidation.
This is a fierce general who can be a 10,000-strong enemy on the battlefield, where does Qian Guogong, who was born to live a life of wealth and tranquility and a noble man, dare to look at Ah Zhen?
"In the end, do you want to give or not to give?" Ah Zhen stared at the other party, his face showing disgruntled anger.
When Qian Guogong heard such a large astronomical amount, of course he didn't want to spend it, so he could only hold back his anger, but he didn't dare to refuse.
After all, Zhao Hai is not so easy to talk to.
In his heart, after a strong struggle, Qian He's whole spirit also stepped down.
Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there was no one to help him, he only felt sad.
"Your Majesty, these eight ...... Eighty million money, I am willing, donated to the Great Qin army as military salary. ”
"It is used to reward those loyal ministers and good generals who have given their lives for Great Qin."
"At the same time, Weichen also called on the Qin people in the world to contribute to this, and if the minister does this, His Majesty is still satisfied?"
