Zhao Jing clutched his chest and kept taking deep breaths, the thing that could restore twenty years of youth was actually in Zong Xin's hands, and Zong Xin didn't give it to him...... If he knew this, he should have a good relationship with Zongxin, and he would only think of himself when he had good things. Regret, unspeakable regret, if I had a good relationship with Zongxin earlier, I would have been able to regain twenty years of youth, twenty years......

Zhao Jing is really envious, jealous and hateful, but there is no way to do it now. The possibility of wanting to have a good relationship with Zongxin again is very low, but you can't do anything with him.

Not only Zhao Jing, everyone present was envious. It's nothing to increase your strength, but you can restore your youth for twenty years, which is not something that can be done by practicing alone. If you really have such a baby, I want to try it myself.

However, this matter should be true, because the news that Yeluzhen and Lei Hong have regained their youth has spread, and it is expected to be Zongxin's handiwork. Because Yeluzhen was the youth that recovered after Zongxin went to the Khitan, and Lei Hong was also what happened after Zongxin returned to the Central Plains.

Originally, I thought that Zongxin's mana was strong enough to restore people's youth, but I didn't expect it to be the blood of the fire qilin.

Zhao Jingdao: "Ziyan, have you ever asked where the location of the fire qilin is?"

"Don't think about it, my husband said it was a desert of death. My husband grew up in the desert since he was a child, but he got lost there for nearly two months, and almost starved to death of thirst inside, and ordinary people can't get out of that desert at all, let alone find the Fire Temple. Zhao Ziyan said: "The husband said that that there is the place where Yelu Zhen learned the Jiuyang Burning Heaven Technique, Yelu Zhen himself couldn't find it, the last time it was Master Zongxin who cast a spell to take advantage of the fact that Yelu Zhen had been to the Fire God Temple, and made a very strange magic weapon, and he used that magic weapon to find the location of the Fire God Temple." If you know how to spell, you can give it a try, and if you don't understand it, don't go and die. ”

Zhao Jingzhen didn't know what to say, Gao Huaide was sent to the desert wolf Gongsun Ao to learn martial arts since he was a child, he didn't expect that a person like him who had lived in the desert for a long time would also get lost there, sure enough, it was not a place that ordinary people could reach, otherwise how could there be a divine beast like a fire qilin? It seems that unless Zong Xin needs the blood of the fire qilin, otherwise he will never enter that desert again.

Unexpectedly, Zongxin's Jiuyang Burning Heaven Recipe was actually learned in the Fire God Temple, and originally thought that Zongxin helped Yeluzhen quell the Khitan civil strife, and Yeluzhen gave Zongxin benefits. So I taught him the basics of the Nine Yang Burning Heaven Technique, and sure enough, I still thought too much, Zong Xin's ambition was far greater than he imagined, and he actually used Yelu Zhen to find the Fire God Temple again.

Zong Xin not only got the things that Yelu Zhen had realized in the Fire God Temple, but also obtained the precious blood of the Fire Qilin. He is really a genius, and he is no longer limited to the criticism given by the late Taoist, but also blames himself for being too snobbish and missing such a good grandson-in-law. If Zong Xin is from his own side, I am afraid that he will ascend the throne and become emperor a year ago, not Guo Wei.

Character makes a person, and sure enough, his own character is not suitable for dealing with Zongxin. But there is no way to do it, who makes Zongxin only speak half of every time, and he also uses this way to test whether this person really believes in himself.

Zhao Jing sighed: "Sure enough, I still underestimate Zongxin...... Forever underestimating him, that's my biggest flaw. Let's not talk about the future for a while, but think about what to do now. It's not easy to survive the pressure of these two years, and now that our expenses are far greater than our income, how can we support so many soldiers without cutting our military power. Hongyin's current account is what, give me a careful calculation. ”

Zhao Hongyin said: "Our Zhao valve was originally 100,000 elite soldiers, but because the largest gold mine was depleted, it was reduced to 80,000. Each soldier consumes an average of fifteen taels of silver per year, but in fact, the soldier's salary can be reduced to ten taels. Eighty thousand soldiers will consume at least 1,600,000 taels of silver in two years, and a maximum of 2,400,000 taels of silver. ”

"Why is there such a big gap? How do you calculate it in normal times? There will be a difference of 800,000 taels. Zhao Jing was taken aback and said: "Where is all this money used? 800,000 taels, didn't you say that if you can save it, you can save it? ”

Zhao Hongyin nodded and said, "Yes, all of this is also my father's arrangement." The soldier's salary is six denins of silver every month, and it is 7 taels and 2 denarii a year. The cost of food for a day is 10 to 20 yuan, let's calculate the cheapest ten yuan first, and the food cost of a soldier a year is 3 taels and 6 yuan. In addition to medicine, wine, and the maintenance and polishing of weapons and armor, it costs at least 2 taels of silver, so a soldier consumes at least 11 taels of silver a year. If you can deduct a little from food and military salary, you will have to spend at least 10 taels of silver a year. For 80,000 soldiers, the cost of a year must be 800,000 taels. ”

Zhao Jing took a deep breath and said, "How can there be a double difference in the food fee?"

Zhao Hongyin said: "If you want the soldiers to eat meat, the consumption is at least twenty yuan." In order to motivate the soldiers, sometimes it was necessary to buy alcohol, so the cost of food was relatively different. This is also what my father said, raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, so that the soldiers can eat well and eat well before they have the strength to fight. ”

"Isn't the military salary a little more? Six cents of silver a month. How much do Guo Wei's soldiers get paid every month?"

Zhao Hongyin said: "Guo Wei's soldiers are four dollars of silver every month. ”

"I haven't taken care of these things all these years, why are our soldiers two dollars more than Guo Wei's soldiers, which is half the price. ”

"Valve soldiers are all paid this military salary, because they are private soldiers, so the military salary has always been more. Because soldiers originally exchanged their lives for money, if the military pay given was not enough to support themselves, no one would do such a thing. Zhao Hongyin said: "But then again, Zhao Valve's soldiers have hardly fought battles, and their military salaries are not exchanged for their lives, so I think we can save some in this regard, and still give them four dollars of silver for military salaries, so that you can save a lot of money." However, the cost of food cannot be saved, and if the soldiers eat too poorly, they are afraid that they will not have the strength to fight. ”

"According to four cents of silver a month, a soldier's salary is 4 taels and 8 yuan a year, and the food expenses are still 3 taels and 6 yuan. Then a soldier's annual consumption is 8 taels and 4 yuan, plus the miscellaneous expenses you mentioned, it should be 9 taels of silver, and it is also 720,000 taels a year. It's 1.44 million taels of silver in two years......" Zhao Jing took a deep breath and continued: "Then let's talk about our income, don't give me too bad news." ”

Zhao Hongyin said: "Now our income is two gold ore veins, the annual consumption is negligible, and the final income is at most 40,000 taels of gold, that is, 400,000 taels of silver." Our business in Luoyang is not bad, and we can earn about 100,000 taels of silver every year. That's what it's like now......"

"That's about 500,000 taels in total, right...... That is to say, there is a difference of 220,000 taels of silver in one year, and 440,000 taels in two years. ”

Zhao Hongyin said: "Yes, without the business in Weinan and the funding of Gao Xingzhou, the king of Qi, we don't have enough strength to feed 80,000 soldiers now." If we can cut the income by 20,000 people slightly, we can barely reach it. ”

Zhao Jing said: "There is no need to mention the matter of cutting troops, we must find a way to raise enough 440,000 taels of silver." How did I get so much money? Even if I robbed it, I wouldn't have made so much money. Which of you has the means?"

"I have a solution. Zhao Kuangyi's young voice came into everyone's ears, and when these adults were completely helpless, his voice was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What can a 12-year-old kid do?

"Tell me about it. ”

Zhao Kuangyi said: "If we don't have money for the time being, we can borrow it, and if we can't borrow enough from one person, we will find ten people." First hit a two-year-old white strip and made up 440,000 taels of silver. After two years, if we can achieve great things, we will not only be able to pay them back, but we will be able to double the money. If we can't achieve great things in two years, then we don't need so many troops, and then we can reduce our troops and pay back the money. ”

"Good way. Zhao Jing suddenly smiled and said, "This grandson's head is quite bright." ”

Zhao Kuangyi was quite depressed after hearing this, and it was clear that he had a good idea, but he was scolded by his grandson. However, the person who said this was originally his grandfather, so it was natural to be called a grandson, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Zhao Jing suddenly sighed again: "Alas~ It's a pity, if Grandpa had found out that Zongxin was so powerful earlier, he should have let you worship Zongxin as a teacher with a dead face, and it was a pity that he couldn't let you worship Zongxin." Such a smart and well-behaved grandson must be much more useful than Guo Wei's son. ”

Speaking of this time, Zhao Kuangyi was even more depressed. He knew from the first time he saw Zong Xin that this person was powerful, that is, the matter of dividing the chicken, although everything was out of everyone's own choice, but in fact, Zong Xin already knew the ending, so he let these people divide one by one, and the ending was exactly like this......

Zhao Kuangyi really envies Tianya to be able to worship under Zongxin, but his family is not angry. Grandpa is a dead money junkie, and he is a snob, every time he sees that Zongxin is going to be unlucky, he is still happy in his heart. When you see that it is profitable, it doesn't matter who the other party is, you immediately go up and take a bite first.

Zong Xin may just not like Zhao Valve's style, so he deliberately alienated Zhao Valve's people. Although the second brother is also a person from Zhao Valve, he is very cheap, so cheap that he is not like a person from Zhao Valve, so he has such a good relationship with Zong Xin. But it's useless to say anything now, since you can't worship under Zongxin, then you can only study the Nine Heavens True Qi of the family tradition and make up for the loss of not worshipping under Zongxin as much as possible.
