Chapter 225: What is big is small
"Does this matter have anything to do with military spending? And isn't the issue of military spending already solved?" Of course, Ling Duxu knew that part of Jian Du's responsibility was to be in charge of logistics, and even when he was in charge of logistics, there had never been any problems, but he still couldn't guess his thoughts.
Ling Duxu asked himself that he was a person who didn't like to show off, so he usually didn't show his edge, and he knew that he had comprehended the way of change in Jinshui before he sprung up, while Jian Duxu had never hidden himself, but the affairs of the forest patrol guard couldn't measure all of Jian Dut's ability at all.
"Military spending?" Jian Dull looked at Ling Duxu's eyes a little strangely, "Do you think that those gifts given to us by the Divine Dynasty can really solve the military spending problem!"
Ling Duxu was a little weak-hearted, and asked weakly, "Isn't it?"
Although the patrol guard has expanded to 220,000 troops, and will continue to expand the army, the thirty-mile-long convoy is enough to support the recovery of Dongzhou, not to mention that Wuhou Ling has opened a trade route with southern Xinjiang, and it is easy to solve the problem of military spending for the patrol guard.
Jian said bluntly: "It seems that I have handled the things you should care about too well, even if the money received by Wuhou is enough, but where do we purchase the materials from?"
Ling Duxu was taken aback, he realized that now Dongzhou is a time when everything is in ruins, the role of money is not so great, not to mention the materials that can be purchased, with the purchasing power of Wuhou Mansion, the large purchase of any thing will cause a chain reaction, that is, price increases.
"I understand that the money cannot be used for military spending at all, but must be used to stabilize the situation in Dongzhou, so that Dongzhou can regain prosperity, as long as Dongzhou regains prosperity, then even if there is no military spending, we will not lack supplies. Ling Duxu is also a quick-witted person, and after a simple and blunt reminder, he also understands the cause and effect.
It is true that money is needed to fight a war, but if it is to protect the family and defend the country, or if there is enough reason, it is also possible to use wartime conscription, although it will drop some popular morale, but it will not take care of so much in an emergency, but if Dongzhou is barren, the gold and silver in your hands are just scrap iron, no, scrap iron can still forge weapons after tempering! You can try to forge one with gold and silver.
Jian Dull nodded and said, "So, the problem we have to solve is not military spending, but military supplies." Breaking it down, it is ordinary materials, training equipment, and labor for building fortifications, but even if His Highness Saint Wuhou cuts the ordinary army in half, there will be no shortage of our forest guards, so we don't need to worry. ”
"Don't worry about what else you're saying!" Ling Duxu said speechlessly.
"It's always good to learn more, the more things you learn, the more solutions you have to solve your difficulties, don't prevaricate me with any arguments about specializing in martial arts
, The cultivation of martial arts is the most difficult thing, if it weren't for His Royal Highness Saint Martial Hou and Jiang Gongzi solving the disadvantages of martial arts exercises, do you think there will be the status of martial arts today?"
Ling Duxu knew that he was wrong, so he could only obediently listen to Jian Dut's teaching, and Jian Duxu's solemn speech also meant that this matter was really important.
Seeing that Ling Duxu no longer refuted, Jian Dull continued: "What we really lack is that although the harvest of the elixir and equipment under the moon is good, it is still a little reluctant to support the entire forest patrol guard, but if you want to train, you need to have medicine to recuperate, if you want to march, you need to have supply support, and if you want to fight, you need to have the wear and tear of weapons and armor." The elite of our rangers are not short of weapons, but you don't think that the new rangers are also short of weapons!"
Ling Duxu was completely speechless, what the forest patrol guards lacked was always people, and there would be a situation where there were too many people and not enough weapons? But the old weapons were really not easy to use, and the output of the new weapons was also low.
More importantly, the armor, the attack power of the rangers is already the top of all known armies, but it will still be lost in battle, if it is not filled with the lives of the recruits, the lives of the green armor army have been used to resist the archer troops, the elites of the rangers do not know how much they will lose, and the best way to reduce this loss is to start with the armor.
The Rangers' silver armor is beautiful, but it's more than twice as weak as the Black Armor's, but their armor isn't suitable for the Rangers.
"Every suitable weapon can add a part of the combat power to the rangers, and every excellent set of armor can add a point of hope for a ranger, and before the birth of the martial arts gods, the weapons of those heroes in the Rangers also determine how many rangers they can bless. Jian said bluntly.
Listening to Jian Dull detailing all the questions, Ling Duxu suddenly understood why Jian Dull was the leader of this mission, because because he was doing things, and anyone could rest assured.
"Think more about things when you encounter them, so that the road can get wider and wider, fortunately the Middle-earth God Dynasty has enough generosity, I should be able to get some blessings for my performance these days, but it will also bring danger to me, if something happens to me, then the future of the forest patrol will fall on you. Jian said bluntly.
Ling Duxu's expression changed drastically: "Something may happen to you? How is this possible? Isn't the Middle Earth God Dynasty disgraced?"
Jian Dull shook his head and said, "It's a deal. ”
Seeing that Jian Dull didn't say anything, Ling Duxu was also very wise not to ask, it is a good thing to have someone to think and solve doubts instead of him, but many things must be thought about by himself, otherwise the consequences of this laziness will not only be himself, but also the people around him.
At noon the next day, after lunchtime, the envoys of the Middle-earth God Dynasty came with a large number of gifts, and a total of five carriages drawn by four people were pulled outside the courtyard where Jian Yu and Ling Duxu were resting.
"Commander Jian, these five truckloads of goods are some of the thoughts of the Emperor of our Divine Dynasty. A red-robed official held a gift slip and presented it to Jian Dut.
[3,000 catties of meteorite iron, 500 catties of blue ice copper, 5,000 catties of thousand-year-old cold iron, a box of northern cold silk, 12 horses of golden palmetto thread, 50,000 marching pills, ten water purification stones, thirteen boxes of ancient beast leather, and several others]
Ling Duxu glanced at the gift list, which were all very practical and precious things: Meteorite Iron and Millennium Cold Iron were both high-grade treasures for building weapons, and this amount was enough to make the "Weapon Spectrum" Half of the weapons on the board have been dropped, and the blue ice copper is the treasure that the alchemist dreams of, and it is the supreme material used as the medicine tripod, so many weights can make at least fifty medicine tripods, each medicine tripod can allow an alchemist to serve them for a long time; and the golden palmetto thread is the best material for building the inner armor, even if it is a holy realm, it will be tempting; the marching pill and the water purification stone are the treasures of the marching army......
Jian Dull closed the gift list, not only his face was calm, but also with a hint of mockery, which was completely inconsistent with his humble image in the past: "Thank you to the Emperor of the Divine Dynasty for the reward, but it is useless, and besides, we don't need the reward of Middle-earth yet, and I ask you to thank the emperor for his kindness on my behalf." ”
Even if he refused, he wouldn't say it so ugly! Ling Duxu was a little anxious.
The red-robed official looked at Jian Dut, who had always been modest, and suddenly showed a mocking expression, and his heart suddenly had an ominous premonition, but he still kept his mission in mind: "This is not a reward, it is a commission for a transaction." Many of His Majesty's dragon guards have forcibly transferred to the exercises, but they have encountered some problems in the process of changing the exercises, and the past combat methods are no longer applicable, but the Divine Dynasty suffers from the lack of good talents for martial arts training, so they have to make this decision to ask Commander Jian to do one or two things for them. ”
Promise, quickly agree!Ling Duxu was expressionless on the surface, but he was already roaring in his heart, the Holy Martial Candidates used Middle-earth as a shield and touchstone, even if they helped them train the army for free, the Holy Martial Candidates would earn it, let alone give such a generous gift?
Immediately afterwards, in Ling Duxu's horror, Jian Dull spoke: "I have a friend who has thousands of family fortunes and has found me, and is willing to exchange Sancheng family wealth for a position as a steward of Wuhou Mansion, do you think it's ridiculous?"
The red-robed official said, "Commander Jian is loyal to the Holy Martial Candidate, how can he be favored by him?"
Jian Du sneered: "I'm not laughing at his stupidity, but laughing at him for having a lot of plans and giving very little!"
