Chapter 201: Twenty years of fine
Datang's treasury income last year?
Guo Rong shook his head again, he spends money, not money, to be honest, he doesn't even know how much money he has in his family, let alone the treasury.
"Last year, the total amount of taxes and other income was only 12 million!"
Twelve million!
Hearing the figures reported by Li Xun, Guo Rong was surprised that the annual income of the Datang treasury was only 12 million yuan, according to this data, his own army of Changying actually had to consume two-thirds of the treasury revenue, which is too exaggerated!
"Although General Guo, your Yulu has been detained for twenty years because of the impeachment of the official, but the other soldiers of the Changying Army have a monthly salary."
"Twenty years later?"
"Why don't you know?"
Looking at Guo Rong, who was forced to look at him, Li Xun gently touched his already sparse head.
"I forgot that General Guo never went to court."
「……」
"On average, every two or three days, there will be a letter of impeachment to you, which is sent by the official, the content is almost violated, transgressed, and now there are probably more than 100 questions, and it is estimated that it has fallen off twenty times for another person's head, and General Guo has only been fined for 20 years, which is really the emperor's grace!"
「……」
"Okay, let's not talk about General Guo, there is the eldest princess here, and General Guo really doesn't care about Yulu, but the rest of the Changying Army needs to receive Yulu."
"The ordinary soldiers of the Changying Army have 12 stone for the ordinary auxiliary soldiers, 15 stone for the regular soldiers, 18 stone for the professional auxiliary soldiers, 25 stone for the long soldiers, 200 yuan, and the team is ......, and His Majesty the Mid-Autumn Festival and Shangyuan will issue two monthly salaries from the inside and outside......
"The monthly salary of the Changying Army far exceeds that of the border army, and it is even more abundant than the previous Shence Army, and the number of the whole army has reached 30,000."
"The army of the Silkworm has 16,000 sets of iron armor, 28,000 sets of chain mail, 6,000 sets of armor, 12,000 bows, 8,000 crossbows, and lances...... In addition, 20 percent of the number is stored in the arsenal of the Long Silk Army, and there are 12,000 war horses and 15,000 pack horses."
Listening to Li Xun's numbers one by one, Guo Rong felt that his scalp was numb.
He thought that the cost would be very high, but he didn't expect it to be so high, but when he heard it, Guo Rong realized a problem, this is just a regular expense, if you count the expedition and the pension, this year's treasury income is not enough.
Guo Rong's surprise was obviously expected by Li Xun.
"Surprised?"
Guo Rong's chick pecked rice-like and nodded.
"Just last year (Emperor Taishang extorted bamboo from Xungui in his own name, and there was more than that!) )……」
"Those are the inner treasury and the private money of the Emperor Taishang, not the treasury, General Guo!"
"General Guo doesn't have to pay special attention, after all, last year, His Majesty got a total of more than 60 million goods from Xungui through various means, and he can still afford it for the time being."
"It's just that with the effect of the Changying Army, the number of new forbidden armies based on the Changying Army has increased to 90,000, although the expenditure of the Changying Army will be reduced this year, but the expenditure on the forbidden army alone may exceed the revenue of the national treasury."
"Coupled with the new policy that will be launched immediately after your suggestion, as well as the trend on the frontier, the expenditure of the imperial court will reach a terrifying level this year and next!"
Looking at Guo Rong, whose face was a little twitching, Li Xun continued to smile.
"Does General Guo know how much money and goods the Xuanwu Army offered when Emperor Taishang ascended the throne?"
Guo Rong shook his head, how could he possibly know about this thing......
"3,000 horses, 30,000 brocades, 500,000 silks, and millions of money!"
Guo Rong was stunned when he heard this amount, the number of TMs was a bit much, but the next moment, Guo Rong found that his vision was still small.
"It seems that there are a lot of handfuls, but after the sacrifice, there are still millions of money in the treasury of Bianzhou, more than 100,000 silk, 7,000 horses, 3 million grains, and countless weapons in the arsenal."
Looking at Guo Rong thoughtfully, Li Xun smiled.
"Do you understand what Your Majesty thinks?"
"Your Majesty was supposed to want to make a fortune from the wealthy family in Shandong and then go north by yourself, but it snowed heavily, and then Your Majesty temporarily decided to change the route, by the way, ......
"No wonder ......"
………………………………………………………………
Bianzhou, Songzhou, Bozhou, and Yingzhou, which determined that the entire Xuanwu Army belonged, began to reorganize their armaments, and a total of 40,000 forbidden troops who were forced to divert because of heavy snow also escorted the Emperor Taishang to leave Luoyang and march all the way to Bianzhou along the plains of Heluo.
On the same day that Emperor Taishang's army set out from Luoyang, a group of messengers set out from Luoyang, targeting the Jiedu envoys of Henan Province, Hebei Province, and Jiangnan East Province, and asked the towns to take advantage of the winter to rectify their ordnance.
The original strict military discipline, skilled combat skills, strict cooperation, and the strength of the forbidden army have spread throughout Shandong within a few days through the mouth of the wealthy families in Shandong, which has made all the feudal towns in Shandong frightened, and they are afraid that they will become the target of the emperor to kill chickens and monkeys.
At this tense moment, a message that came out of nowhere began to spread silently throughout Shandong.
This time the Emperor Taishang's eastern tour, nominally to negotiate with the wealthy families in Shandong on matters related to the new policy, and to obtain the support of the wealthy families in Shandong as much as possible, but in fact because the imperial court received a secret performance from Han Hong, the envoy of the Xuanwu Army:
Pinglu Jiedu made Li Shigu secretly collude with Huaixi's Huaixi Jiedu to make Wu Shaocheng attempt to rebel, and the Xuanwu Army Jiedu envoy took out the handwritten letter written by Li Shigu to him in the past, as well as a large amount of sea salt that was seized as physical evidence, which can be said to be conclusive evidence!
This news spread to Pinglu and Huaixi, and Pinglu Jiedu made Li Shigu and Huaixi Jiedu make Wu Shaocheng feel like a thunderbolt from the blue.
Last year's events were dug up at this time, and even a fool knows that the situation is not good.
If there were only these, it would be forgotten, but then, the Xuanwu Army, which had always remained calm, suddenly mobilized men and horses, allocated grain and grass, sorted out equipment, and reorganized the army for war at the beginning of the New Year.
What's even more terrifying is that the follow-up rumors continue to come, Yicheng, Wuning, Zhongwu and other Jiedu envoys have begun to reorganize the army, although they have received the imperial decree of the Emperor Taishang, but the others have no handle in their hands, and the handles of the two of them have been caught.
What if the Emperor Taishang's target is them, what if they reorganize the army and the Emperor Taishang will lead the army to attack with the forbidden army and the Xuanwu army as the core?
The problem is that if you don't reorganize the army, you don't want to, in case the goal is really yourself, and you don't have any preparations for war, which is equivalent to being captured.
For a time, Li Shigu and Wu Shaocheng, the two self-respecting envoys, were in a panic!
For Han Hong, who secretly kept evidence and stabbed him behind his back, the two of them already hated him to the core.
