Lu Yun sighed, the problem of money is indeed difficult to solve, especially the funds related to the development of a country, which are by no means a small amount.

He pondered for a moment and believed that there was no urgency to solve these problems, and that it was necessary to try to solve them slowly, after all, the development of a country could never be achieved overnight.

"We can solve these problems in two short and long-term steps, the first step is to get funding vigorously and solve the current problems."

Feng Xiao said anxiously: "What should I do?"

Lu Yun said in a deep voice: "The three major families must have a lot of money left, and it should be a lot of money to collect all of it from the treasury and replenish the needs."

"Taking advantage of this Chang'an Rebellion, the rebel officials, families, and businessmen should be able to obtain a sum of money by raiding and purging their families."

Feng Xiao shook his head and sighed: "Before the Chang'an Rebellion, these wall grasses had already transferred their wealth to other countries, and only a few were left, but they should be enough for temporary use."

Lu Yun was speechless, they were all old foxes, and there were too few left.

He thought for a while: "Wealth can be transferred, but the industry cannot be moved, we must arrange for someone to take over the industries left by the original Li family and the three major families as soon as possible, so that these industries can be on the right track."

Feng Xiao nodded: "I have already arranged for Jin Wuwei's people to take over."

"As for the establishment of the army you mentioned, it needs to be solved in the long run, otherwise the military expenditure alone will be an unaffordable expenditure." Lu Yun muttered.

"Moreover, the army is easy to build, but the difficulty is the cultivation of generals and other talents, without these talents, the army will have no soul and will not be able to exert its combat effectiveness."

Feng Xiao was stunned, she really hadn't thought about these problems.

"By the way, how many troops are you going to build?" Lu Yun asked.

Feng Xiao thought for a moment: "According to the current situation, at least 20,000 more troops will be established in the short term, and at least 50,000 will be needed in the long term."

Lu Yun nodded: "According to the level of the Tang Dynasty, the annual income of 10,000 troops is about three million taels of silver, and if you add equipment and other expenses, it will cost about five million a year."

Feng Xiao was dumbfounded: "So many?"

Lu Yun sighed: "This is only the normal cost of maintaining the army, if you include the costs of training, logistics, pensions, etc., it is estimated that it will be about six million."

Feng Xiao smiled bitterly: "This is impossible to complete."

Lu Yun sighed: "So we need to find another way and take a long-term route."

"By the way, how much income can Datang's taxes and industries have in a year?"

"Datang's annual tax revenue is five or six million, and the industrial income is about 10 million, and the total is about 15 million." Feng Xiao sighed.

Lu Yun nodded, there is indeed a big gap: "That's why we need to add additional industries."

Feng Xiao shook his head: "Datang's industries have basically been covered, even if it increases, it doesn't make much sense."

Lu Yun shook his head: "We must find another way and open up new industries."

"We have to choose some blank comprehensions, so that we can achieve the goal of making money quickly."

Feng Xiao looked at Lu Yun with blazing eyes: "What should we do?" ”

"The first is to establish the Datang financial system, so that the people can save all their money, so that we can have money to use."

Feng Xiao was puzzled: "Isn't this Qianzhuang?"

Lu Yun shook his head: "Unlike Qianzhuang, which is only exchanged, we absorb a large amount of people's wealth by absorbing deposits, issuing bonds, buying and selling property rights, etc., to achieve short-term wealth accumulation."

"Second, I plan to build a number of deep processing factories to improve production efficiency and make finished products for sale."

"Different from the form of small workshops, the factory adopts assembly line operation, and each worker is only responsible for a small piece, forming a production chain, which can greatly improve production efficiency."

"We process raw materials into finished products through processing plants, so that the value of the top products increases exponentially, and as for what kind of goods to choose, it is up to the market to decide."

Feng Xiao's eyes lit up, and Lu Yun said again: "Third, I plan to rely on the processing factory to establish a logistics system in Datang. ”

Feng Xiao showed doubts: "The processing factory is easy to understand, but what is the logistics system?"

Lu Yun explained: "As for logistics, it's a bit similar to today's caravans, we transport things from one place to another, and this thing can be ours or someone else's, and we earn freight."

"It's a bit like the old dart game, but unlike the dart game, not all of what we ship is valuable, it's all sorts of things, even ordinary things."

Transporting ordinary things, Feng Xiao was puzzled: "Can you make money like this?"

Lu Yun nodded: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to make money."

"If you have ideas, you need talents to implement them, otherwise everything is utopian, so we have to cultivate a group of talents as soon as possible."

"How should I train it?" Feng Xiao asked.

Lu Yun thought for a while: "First of all, we must cultivate a group of absolutely loyal talents, just like Jin Wuwei, so that you can use them smoothly in the future."

"Secondly, it is necessary to cultivate a group of talents from all walks of life around the demand."

"For example, for the army, we must train a group of middle-level generals and establish the leading backbone of the army."

"For example, in industry, factories, logistics, etc., we must cultivate a group of management talents in all aspects, so that we can get on the right track as soon as possible."

"In addition to these talents, we also need to cultivate talents from all walks of life, such as Langzhong, blacksmiths, etc., after all, the century-old plan is people-oriented."

"As for the location of the cultivation, there is a academy opposite the Immortal Dao Dean An Branch, which can be used directly."

"What needs to be done now is to have teachers as soon as possible!"

"It is necessary to find some skilled craftsmen from various fields in Chang'an, offer high salaries, and let them settle in the college to teach students."

"Talent development is not achieved overnight, it takes a lot of time, and we can't afford to wait." Feng Xiao sighed.

Lu Yun shook his head and smiled: "As for the matter of time, we don't need to spend too much time, we can open a crash course, and we only need one or two months to cultivate basic knowledge."

"Then directly arrange internships, so that they can continue to learn and improve in actual combat."

"And don't we cultivate martial arts talents?" Feng Xiao asked again.

Lu Yun smiled: "Martial arts talents are not ready-made, the Tang Martial Academy can, we just need to choose." ”

Feng Xiao's eyes lit up: "Lu Yun, how did your head grow, you have so many strange ideas."

Lu Yun shook his head, he didn't know why he had these things in his mind.

But what he said is just an idea, and a lot of work needs to be done to actually implement it.

All this has to be implemented by Feng Xiao, after all, she is the lord of the Tang Dynasty, and there are a large number of people available.

Saying goodbye to Feng Xiao, Lu Yun returned to the room, opened the box again, and looked at the remaining two elixirs.

Thinking of what Zhuo Buyan said, he hesitated to take it directly, and after a while, Lu Yun re-closed the box.

He decided not to take it for now, or wait until he had read the ancient books before making a decision.

There are ancient books in the Tang Palace, but now is not the time, after Feng Xiao ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne, he can go deep into the palace to look through it.

In the past few days, the Tang Palace has been cleaned and carefully arranged, and everything is preparing for Feng Xiao's accession to the throne.

Three days later, the enthronement ceremony will be held, and Feng Xiao will officially become the new lord of the Tang Dynasty.
