Chapter 241
"Master Fang, if it weren't for this bill in front of me, I really didn't think about how much money it would cost to fight?"
Under the bright candlelight, Xia Heng shook the bill in his hand and said with a stunned face.
"As soon as the war burns, ten thousand taels are empty, I have heard a lot of words, but how much it really costs, we really haven't counted, not only do we not count, I think my elders, I'm afraid I don't really know much." Li Yannian sighed.
It's too expensive!
In addition to the equation that has entered the barracks, Xiaohu, the Li family brothers, and Xia Heng, they are all known as soldiers, and they know that to maintain the construction of the barracks, the monthly military salary is only a small part of the military expenditure, and the key to the annual consumption of military expenses is that people eat horses and chew horses, clothing and armaments.
According to the border army's three days, nine meals and two meals of meat, eight catties and taels, a soldier will eat it close to two taels of silver in a month.
This is not counting the daily maintenance of weapons and the expenses of raising war horses.
But their experience, but the consumption counted by the household department, where is this.
There are still four months left in this year, and all kinds of military expenditures have already approached 13 million taels, and you must know that the Wu Dynasty has only spent 5 million taels on the territory of the Wu Dynasty.
"Scary is indeed scary, but fortunately, the casualties are not serious!"
The equation has always been superficial that the amount of the Wu Dynasty's pension for the war dead is not high, but after reading the account book provided by Xia Abacus, the equation found that the Wu Dynasty's pension system under the military merit system can really spend money.
In addition to direct compensation, after falling to the family, in addition to the tax reduction period corresponding to the acres of land, the situation of young children and the elderly at home is also taken into account.
With such compensation, it is difficult for the Wu Dynasty to maintain such a quality of soldiers three hundred years after the founding of the country.
"Yes, the casualties are not serious, if they are serious, they will have to add money, but it's a pity that this kind of casualties are fighting with the Jurchens, and if they are replaced by the Song people, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop ......."
Xia Heng sighed.
"The Song people are soft and soft, but the arrows of the people are not soft, and they are directly soaked and corroded before the war, as long as they are shot, they will die!" Li Yannian has never experienced the battlefield, but he has never eaten pork, can he still not see a pig run?
In order to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible, all countries are secretly rubbing their black hands, gold juice, rust, and all kinds of evil means emerge one after another, and the Lord will not kill you on a battlefield, but will also kill you after the war.
For this reason, even the regular soldiers of all countries were armed to bless.
For example, now, Nian Run's soldiers and horses, when fighting with the Jurchens, pay attention to lightness, and only wear a set of leather armor on his body, which can be replaced with a war with the Six Kingdoms, and the leather armor is useless at all, at least two layers, and sometimes even chain mail.
Otherwise, you won't be able to prevent the poisonous killing moves.
But yin poison is yin poison, after all, it has not reached the point where people are stunned, it is still necessary to fight, and there must be corresponding consumption to fight, and this is something that Wu Chao can't bear.
"Okay, we're not talking about these things today, these things will be handed over to the people who should have a headache, and what we have to do is to escort the soldiers on the front line, at least not let the tears be shed after the bloodshed!"
The equation applauded.
Warriors are belligerent, and everything related to war will naturally go on with words.
"Sir, that's what I thought, I'm almost done here." Xiaohu put the brush on the pen holder and looked at everyone shyly, "I just counted the situation of money banks in various places." ”
"At present, there are 732 Qianzhuang in the country, with an average of more than 6,600 taels of single shops, or 4.8 million taels, more than 170 taels, more than 380 taels, and more than 60 taels!"
"This is not a good situation!"
There were 472 counties in the entire territory of the Wu Dynasty, including the banners scattered in the Northland, and the Dominions.
There are 732 money banks, which seems to be much larger than the number of counties, but considering the overlapping areas, this number of money banks is far from being fully covered, and there are even more than 100 counties that have not been counted.
In terms of scale, it did not reach the extent expected by the equation, and the quality was far inferior.
The single shop absorbs only 6,600 taels, the number is auspicious, but this number is really low.
"How can there be less?"
Xia Heng asked with a puzzled face, "Sixty families, not a thousand taels, what are the officials in those places doing?" ”
Qianzhuang, which has not arrived for a thousand taels, must be in some remote counties, but no matter how remote it is, it is not the only one?
At the county level of the Wu Dynasty, the population must reach at least 10,000 people, and less than this part will be merged, just because the Wu Dynasty has no money to raise an additional team in the lower county.
10,000 people, 1,500 households, it can't be all civilians, how can you go in with some martial artists, according to the ratio of 1 out of ten, 80 or 90 martial families, 1,000 taels of storage have not been done, the Wu Dynasty is poor, but obviously not poor to this point.
"Yes! Is this too exaggerated, I know that our Wu Dynasty is poor, but it is not so poor that a county can't make up a thousand taels, if I'm not mistaken, you can say at that time, sir, for poor areas, the annual interest rate is more than one percent of five! Li Yanting was also puzzled.
At that time, when the equation mentioned that savings were beneficial and loans were repaid, their brothers were by their side, and they clearly knew that the regulations on interest savings were not rigid, but an important bridge to regulate the distribution model.
Unless there is really no money, how can no one participate in this kind of charity?
"The gap is six million taels, and the national money bank absorbs less than five million and twenty thousand, surnamed Xia wants to make up for this hole here, isn't there something wrong with him, he doesn't cheat people!"
Li Yannian couldn't help but jump to his feet.
Xiaohu's statistics didn't come out, they didn't see the specific data, they really thought from the bottom of their hearts, it should be that Qianzhuang did a good job.
But with this achievement, where did Xia Abacus get the confidence to engage in national bonds?
Four million versus six million, it's really confident to solve everything......
"Xiaohu, you continue!"
It is normal to have little savings, and the lack of money among the people is an important factor, and the bigger problem may be the money bank itself.
Money Banker?
Don't look at the mess that the Wu Dynasty made of the money village before, but the common people are not stupid, how can they not know that the money village is not something they can enter casually.
Even if there is a yamen to publicize, not everyone has the courage to eat the first bite of crab.
In the final analysis, it is still responsible for the money bank shopkeeper can not put down the shelf, do things too conservatively, really take the initiative to do, in the first half of the period of the fixed deposit to pay, the country's more than 700 money banks can not only absorb 4.8 million taels.
The people have no money, and there are still one tael per capita, and as long as one out of ten people is willing to save money, the 200 million people will be 20 million taels.
This matter is not pressed, and the equation still wants to hear what has happened to Qianzhuang in the past six months?
