"Why don't you go to Yanmen Pass and be a staff officer for the general."

Big brother, do you know what it means to talk on paper, if you let me go, I don't dare to bear the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people.

"Don't want this, the battlefield is changing rapidly, in case I lose the war, I'm afraid I'm sorry for the people."

Li Kuo was silent and didn't mention this matter again, Li Xiuzhu was right, he was too young, and he was not at ease.

But something else suddenly occurred to him.

It's not easy for him to meddle in the war, so the matter of money should be simple, right?

"Now that the army is on the march, it needs a lot of money, and the treasury is empty, is there a good way to fill the treasury?"

"At least finish this battle."

Li Xiuzhu was slightly stunned when he heard this, is the treasury so poor? It can't be compared with the banks of later generations.

After thinking about it, he really thought of a few ways.

"To support this war, how much money is the treasury short?"

"According to conservative estimates, there is still a difference of 50,000 taels, which should not include the post-war pension."

Just 50,000? That's pretty much the same.

However, Li Xiuzhu also despised it, 50,000 taels was just enough for the ransom for his own month, and there was no one who was so poor that an emperor was so poor.

"If it is just to ensure that the war is successfully completed, it is too simple, and the supplies can be given in batches, and there is no need to give them all at once."

"What should be given at one time is classified first, and what does not need to be given at one time."

"Don't say anything else, let's just talk about the armor reserve and arrow reserve, the battle armor of an army of 100,000 people can basically be used for a long time if there are 10,000 reserves."

"The same is true for arrows, which are provided by a hundred times the number of archers, and can be used for at least ten days and half a month."

"As long as you can ensure a continuous supply of supplies and don't get robbed, then you can play like this."

"In the later period of Silla capture, you can replenish the treasury from Silla."

"Although Silla is said to coincide with a natural disaster, there is still a lot of silver and treasures."

Li Kuo nodded when he heard this, this is indeed an idea, and in this way, there is no need to use his own small treasury.

However, Li Kuo was not satisfied.

"Is there a better choice?"

"Better, there are ......"

After a pause, Li Xiuzhu continued: "One is donation. ”

"The real positions under the seven grades and the fictitious positions under the five grades can be sold, and the vacant official positions can be sold immediately, and the gold and silver problems can be solved immediately."

"Even if the government thinks that grain and grass are not easy to buy, they can use grain and grass to buy officials."

"There are a lot of people who are rich in those big family traders."

Is it a question of how much money there is? You can't open this head as a seller.

"This ...... Xiuzhu, you are still young, I don't know. Selling official positions is shaking the foundation of the country, and this cannot be moved. ”

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu had a different opinion, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. ”

"Vacant positions below the five grades, such as the edict of the Hanlin Academy, the four translators of the Ministry of Rites, the official order class, the Guozijian classics, the Han Ming praise of the Honglu Temple, the preface class, etc., these positions are dispensable, and raising a few idle jobs that do not need to be done will not affect anything at all."

"To put it simply, it is to give these businessmen an identity, and also to give their children an identity to study."

"The actual job below the seventh grade is more important, even if it is just a criminal department prison, there is a lot of oil and water to be fished."

"Those who want these positions either want money or power, and if they want power, Your Majesty will have more officials who do practical things."

"If you want money, then it's even better, these people should have a lot of net worth, if you come to embezzle and take bribes again, it will be to hand you a knife to Your Majesty."

"When he can be convicted of robbing his family, he will copy them, and then their silver will become His Majesty's silver."

"When the time comes, the vacated seats can be sold again, and the big waves will always find some gold."

At this moment, Li Kuo didn't know what to say, and he admitted that he was moved by what he said.

At this moment, he seemed to see a steady stream of gold and silver ingots beckoning to him.

"Xiuzhu, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Me? Isn't that okay? I don't have a half-official position, and I don't have enough weight, right? ”

Since ancient times, those who have been unlucky in selling officials have been those who have sold officials, isn't this clearly trying to hack him?

Li Kuo waved his hand when he heard this, and said: "Since you proposed this matter, I naturally want you to do it, don't worry, I will give you a gold medal for avoiding death." ”

The corners of Li Xiuzhu's mouth twitched, can this thing really avoid death?

Anyway, generally speaking, this thing doesn't use chicken feathers.

"Then give me another handwritten message, otherwise I really don't dare touch this thing."

Li Kuo looked at Li Xiuzhu's cautious look and knew that he would not work seriously if he couldn't do this.

"Okay, I'll give you a hand, but this handword can't be used unless it's a last resort."

Li Xiuzhu was also a happy person, and nodded when he heard the words.

"Okay! That's the reward. ”

Suddenly, Li Kuo's eyes widened.

"Lonely, I don't have a daughter to marry."

……？ Am I here for the chicks?

Man, you see...... Got me.

"It can't be any good, right?"

Li Kuo was stunned.

"Isn't it enough to give you a promotion?"

"Well, I don't have much to do with official positions."

Li Xiuzhu smiled shyly and continued: "You see that I am also going to open a mansion, and this big family is going to spend. ”

"One Cheng Li!"

One percent?

Hey, so much?

It seems that this old man has never sold an official, so he doesn't know much about the oil and water in it!

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely handle this for you."

"Huh, now you can say good things? I found out, you kid, you can't afford to be early. ”

While speaking, Fu's house arrived, and Li Xiuzhu took out a special plow a few minutes after entering the house.

Underneath the plough are rollers, and the rollers have serrated teeth that look like gears.

Next to the wheel is a large ploughshare with a curved hook, and three ploughshares with curved soil dividers.

The thing is lighter than the traditional plow, and the pipe of the plow is made of aluminum, which is very thick to ensure that it is strong and durable, and it is much lighter.

At this time, the sedan chair or carriage of the hundred officials were waiting, and everyone was very curious when they saw what Li Xiuzhu took out.

Can such a simple thing plow the ground?

Li Xiuzhu was also not strong, and after handing the plow to the guards on the side, he got into the emperor's carriage again.

"Let's go!"

With Wang Defa's singing, the team set off again.

Although it is outside the city, it is very close to the imperial city, and the open ground here is close to the water source, which is one of the best land in Shangjing.

As everyone came out, Li Xiuzhu looked at it with a satisfied look on his face.

"You can try the nearby land casually, just pull it."

"If you want to reclaim dry wasteland, you still have to wait for the rain to save the cows."

Li Kuo and Baiguan couldn't help it for a long time, and when they heard this, Song Lian of the household department immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, I'll try it!" ”

At this time, a military general immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, let me come." ”

"Even if this plough may be convenient for ploughing, how can Song Shilang, a weak scholar, pull it."

Song Lian was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't have much confidence in this.

But he was not very willing to let him give up like this.
