Chapter 262: Expanding Armaments
Man Nine gritted his teeth and said, "We are members of the 'Good People Hall'. ”
"Good People Hall, what the hell?" Qin Shan looked confused.
Lu Zhan in the back said with a surprised face: "Your Majesty, this Good Man Hall is an amazing organization, this organization is very active in several countries in the north of Dongzhou, and the members in it are said to be some powerful characters, similar to mercenary organizations, taking on various tasks in many countries.
This organization is very mysterious, and no one knows who their leader is!"
"We received a task from the organization, which is to hunt down and kill those people in the restaurant during the day, originally we were going to leave after completing the task, but I didn't expect to be unlucky to meet you, to be honest, we don't want to go against the Shengtian Dynasty, we are just carrying out the task. The ninth man explained helplessly.
"Lu Zhan, what do you think?" Qin Shan asked as he looked at Lu Zhan.
"It is said that the Shanrentang generally acts in a group of two, and they are all good, and their strength is close to the realm of the Martial King, which is in line with the situation of the Shanrentang, and it should not be made up. Lu Zhan thought for a while and said.
"Your Majesty, we have no intention of breaking the laws of the Shengtian Dynasty, if you want to punish me, punish me alone, I hope Your Majesty can release the tenth. The ninth man said with a serious face.
"But I'd rather keep this big beauty. Qin Shan said with interest.
"You're a silver thief!" No. 10 glared at Qin Shan viciously.
Lu Zhan suddenly roared angrily: "Bold!"
"Lu Zhan, how can you be so rude to beautiful women, that's why you are still single, you must be gentle with women, just like this. ”
Qin Shan smiled slightly, and then gently stroked No. 10's head.
No. 10 was paralyzed by Qin Shan's thunder attribute attack, and he couldn't move at all, so he could only angrily scold: "The emperor of the dignified Shengtian Dynasty is so despicable and shameless!"
"Your Majesty, please let go of No. 10, I'm willing to do anything for you!" The No. 9 man looked at Qin Shan pleadingly.
"What is the relationship between you and No. 10? Looking at your age, could it be a father-daughter relationship?" Qin Shan asked.
"Yes, we are father and daughter. Man Nine nodded desperately in response.
Qin Shan shook his head with a smile and said: "Saying that you are a father-daughter relationship, you really took the initiative to admit it, but unfortunately you can't fool me, according to my observation, there must be a master-servant relationship between you, this girl is a noble master, and you are his servant, so I will try my best to help her!"
As soon as Qin Shan's voice fell, the faces of No. 9 and No. 10 changed slightly.
However, Qin Shan then continued: "But I don't care about the relationship between you, let's go, don't make trouble in my territory in the future, otherwise no matter who you are, you won't want to leave alive!"
Number Nine and Number Ten looked at Qin Shan in disbelief.
"This ...... Is this true? Is Your Majesty really willing to let us go like this?" Nine asked, thinking he had misheard, in surprise.
"What I said is true, since you are not a spy, I will naturally not pursue it, but this incident is a warning to you, in the future, it is best to abide by the law in the territory of the Shengtian Dynasty, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Shengtian Dynasty!" Nine thanked excitedly.
"Lu Zhan, untie him. ”
"Your Majesty, do you really let them go like this?"
"Since they are not spies, there is no need to continue to entangle with them, and the warning has already been warned, just let it go. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
Subsequently, Lu Zhan loosened the tie for No. 9, and Qin Shan also channeled a stream of true qi into No. 10's body, and then the paralysis on No. 10's body disappeared.
"Ten, let's go!" said Nine to Ten after the tie was untied.
No. 10 glared at Qin Shan with an unkind look, and then left with No. 9.
Qin Shan didn't stop him, and after the two of them left, Lu Zhan asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, the identities of the two of them haven't been found out yet, will there be a problem with letting them go like this?"
"Anyway, there is no loss to us, and the identities of these two people do not seem to be simple, so maybe it will be useful in the future to let them go this time. Qin Shan shrugged his shoulders and said.
Lu Zhan nodded, and then didn't say anything more.
After putting the ninth and tenth, Qin Shan didn't pay attention to this matter anymore, after all, this matter was just a trivial matter for him, and he just happened to encounter it, so he just played with it.
......
During the period when Qin Shan had just been proclaimed emperor, although he rarely had an early dynasty, it was not easy at all.
Although Qin Shan handed over most of the government affairs to Prime Minister Yue Zhijian, there was one thing that Qin Shan was doing himself, and that was to improve the strength of the army.
First of all, he expanded the number of soldiers in the whole country, and recruited 300,000 soldiers from the whole country on the original basis, and then he summoned the powerful alchemists and refiners of the Shengtian Dynasty throughout the country to refine a large number of pills and equipment at a huge cost.
The needs of hundreds of thousands of troops for pills and equipment are not something that can be met casually, even if Qin Shan robbed the Imperial Merchants Alliance before, only a small part of the materials can be supplied, and the rest requires Qin Shan to spend huge manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
When Qin Shan was expanding his armaments, Prime Minister Yue Zhijian directly and solemnly mentioned this matter in the court.
"Your Majesty, Weichen agrees with His Majesty's decision to advocate the expansion of armaments, but we have just stabilized after the Shengtian Dynasty, if such a large increase will make the entire country tired, and the expansion of the army will cause great financial losses, and the direct consequence will be the burden on the people, and the economy of the entire country may regress!"
"The last time the Jin Qiu Kingdom invaded, you should know that our Shengtian Dynasty's army was actually not an opponent, and if it wasn't for the surprise, it really wouldn't be able to drive out the Jin Qiu Kingdom, so at this time, we must increase our armaments!" Qin Shan said with a serious face.
"However, the national treasury has been seriously depleted recently, and if it continues, I am afraid that it will be directly empty, and the consequences will be unimaginable by then. Yue Zhijian said helplessly.
"It is necessary to increase armaments, but the financial aspect is a big problem, I wonder if all the Aiqing have any good way?" Qin Shan looked at the other ministers in the court and asked.
At this time, a minister stood up and said: "Wechen has a way that is not a good way, the most serious financial consumption should be equipment, after all, the equipment must be one set per person, and it also requires a large amount of inventory."
There must be a large number of raw materials to build equipment, as long as the cost of raw materials is reduced, financial consumption can be reduced, as far as Wei Chen knows, the Cold Ice Country is located in the north of Dongzhou, the territory is extremely vast, with a huge group of mines, where the refining materials are very cheap, we can negotiate with the Emperor of the Cold Ice Country to buy a large number of raw materials from their country. ”
