The inspection trip to Dongning Island came to an end, and Jiang Hua returned to the county guard mansion again.

After just two days of dealing with government affairs, Jun Chengyu came over with a serious look and took the account book.

"Gentlemen, if we continue to spend it in Yancheng at this rate, we will have no money in three months."

？？？

How could there be no money so quickly?

Didn't you just get coins with a total value of at least one billion or more from Yang Cheng?

A billion dollars, spent so quickly?

Looking at Jiang Hua's puzzled expression, Jun Chengyu put the bill in front of Jiang Hua and began to explain at the same time.

"Our Yancheng was relatively wealthy in the past, and we did save some money, but the money was stored in the inner treasury, and it was not used for the war."

Jiang Hua nodded, indicating that he understood.

Yang Cheng's money is roughly stored in two places.

One is Taishoufu, and the other is Neiku.

The money of the Taishou Mansion is mainly the annual tax revenue.

The source of the money in the inner treasury is more complicated.

There is the money earned by the shops of the elites of the Jiang family, and there are also the money that the city lords of the past generations went out to rob.

"Today's Taishou Mansion doesn't have much money."

"If it weren't for the fact that I got a lot of wealth from Yang Cheng this time, I would have run out of money in two months."

"There are just too many places to spend money."

"Gentlemen, you have changed from a county order to a taishou, and we have also risen to the top, and the people below have also changed from county officials to county officials."

"Now, when the Righteous War is coming, the county soldiers have become county soldiers, and their training has been further strengthened, but their training expenses and daily food consumption have also been strengthened."

"The number of county soldiers has changed from 5,000 to 30,000, and after the expansion, 10,000 county soldiers have reached the point of the past county soldiers with a little training. The remaining 20,000 people are just at the level of village soldiers, and now they are practicing channeling, contemplation, and breathing, and they need money for every day of training! ”

"The 30,000 soldiers are now closed in the barracks, training from morning to night."

"This kind of high-intensity training, you have to eat meat every day, everyone has a cup of spiritual spring every ten days, and there is a group medicinal bath every three days......"

"On average, each person spends more than 100 dollars per day. 30,000 county soldiers, one day of high-intensity training, at least three million dollars will be gone. By the end of March, the 100 million money was gone. ”

"This is only the most basic training, this is only the county soldiers."

"If you add the wear and tear of weapons and armor, if you add newly forged weapons, magic-level chariots, etc., the various materials spent every day are converted into coins, which is an astronomical amount."

"This is only the army, and now the people are collectively migrating to Dongning Island, which is a century-old plan, and it is related to whether Yancheng can fight for a long time, and it cannot be delayed."

"After the people migrated, they needed to open up the wasteland, and they didn't have strong labor, so they could only send out Taoists and ask the monks to help clear the wasteland. The alchemists are more efficient, but it all costs money. ”

"The Dao Law Team is also expanding now. Originally, it was named after the ten heavenly stems, but now the twelve earthly branches have been used up. In less than a month, it has more than tripled. ”

"Those who join the Dao Law team are at least warlocks who have comprehended the true meaning of the Five Elements, they have a greater role, but they also have a greater cost."

"There is also the School Palace, 200,000 children are about to enter school, and it doesn't cost much to build the School Palace, but it costs a lot of money to cultivate! Very expensive! ”

"Even if we set the medicinal bath in the Junior School Palace once a month and the drinking spiritual spring as one cup a month, 200,000 children is not a small number."

"This money, one hundred and seventy-three families are happy to pay, is it possible to let them pay it?"

"This is related to the foundation of Yancheng, and letting them serve as teachers is already the result of our lack of Taoists, so we have to win over and compromise. If they are asked to pay again, then what is the surname of this school palace? ”

"And Dao Palace, now more and more doctors have joined us."

"These doctors are all Taoist priests with real skills, and their cultivation is there, and the treatment cannot be too low. Otherwise, others will think that our Yancheng is too arrogant and slow to treat talents. ”

"Then Uncle Yu, do you have any good ideas?" Jiang Hua asked directly.

"There are no good ways, but there are a few bad ways to leave endless disasters."

"Directly ask one hundred and seventy-three families for money, they give money, and we give power. As for what kind of power to give, we can discuss it slowly. ”

Understand, the first policy, sell the official beard.

Jiang Hua couldn't help but start recalling his previous life, and the strategy of selling his official beard was almost used by almost all emperors of previous dynasties.

During the Han Dynasty, Chao Cuo proposed that the wealthy merchants who donated grain to the frontier should directly give the title, and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty agreed.

This is the emperor of the Han Dynasty with an excellent reputation.

When he arrived at Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he directly sold his official position. However, the reputation of the Spirit Emperor was not very good.

After the Han Dynasty, all dynasties became official sellers, but the things sold were different each time.

Sometimes, the emperor wants to be faced, and he does not directly sell officials, but sells the admission quota of students.

When he arrived in a certain Qing, he did not hide it and donated directly to the official.

At first glance, it sounds like a heinous form of government, but it has been repeatedly adopted by rulers.

However, Jiang Hua still decided to reject this evil policy.

If you want to take back the power sold today, you will have to work at least 100 times more hard to get it back tomorrow.

Brother A Xiu gained the world in just a few years, but the price was the entire Western Han Dynasty for 200 years, and the family controlled the government and controlled the world.

Brother A Xiu gave away the power in order to fight the world, and he didn't take it back after working hard all his life.

As a last resort, Jiang Hua did not intend to take this method.

Jiang Hua thought for a moment: "What else?" ”

"The second strategy is to open mines, mines are money, and conscription prisoners, death row prisoners, captives, and slaves open mines."

"This is also a common method used by nobles."

Jiang Hua was unwilling to do this method.

In today's Yancheng, every population is wealth. Especially the millions of people now, this is the foundation of the country, the foundation of the future.

Those nobles don't care about the loss of population, and when they die, they will go to the wild to catch savages, but Jiang Hua cares.

"What else?"

"Borrowing money from wealthy merchants, some wealthy merchants, with tens of thousands of private soldiers under their command, many masters, high prestige, and strong strength."

"These wealthy businessmen, using their strong strength, travel between countries and specialize in business between countries."

But the question is, why do these wealthy businessmen want to lend money to Yancheng?

What will Yancheng use as collateral?

"Anything else?"

"And ......"

Listening to the methods listed by Jun Chengyu, Jiang Hua thought hard.

In the end, Jun Chengyu couldn't help but sigh: "The lord and the minister also know that these methods basically have more or less sequelae. ”

"But now that the situation in Yancheng is like this, even if the lord is willing to take out all the money in the inner treasury, we won't be able to last long. No problem this year, but what about next year? And the year after? The duration of this war is not one year or two years, but ten years, and it is possible for a hundred years or even several generations. ”

"Therefore, the minister intends to take the initiative to bear the notoriety."

"A few days later, when you go to Dongning Island to inspect, the minister will take the initiative to interview one hundred and seventy-three families in the name of the county prince."

"At that time, all the bad government will be made by the ministers themselves."

"One day in the future, you can use the head of a minister......

Looking at Jun Chengyu, who was ready to die, Jiang Hua shook his head directly: "No, no, I can't do anything else, but I still have a lot of ideas." ”
