"The Metropolitan Governor has raised his account at this time, what do you want to tell me to wait?" Zhuang Ning said with a dissatisfied, obviously he had other important matters.

Zhang Ye got up, walked down with his hands on his back and walked for a while: "Zhuang Ning, the deployment of troops has been nearly half a year, and at present, our army formation has gone to Tanggu Glacier to make final preparations for the decisive battle, presumably, you already know this?"

Zhuang Ning said: "Yes, the lower officials know." The commanders and subordinates can't ask about the military strategy, just wait for the reasonable decision of the metropolitan governor. ”

"Good. Zhang Ye walked back to the high hall and sat down and said: "The environment outside the city is harsh, there is no city defense support, and the Tanggu Glacier is located in the area of the 10,000-year-old glacier, and the pressure of the climate on our army array alone is not trivial. At this juncture, one-third of my unparalleled strength is pressed into standby, and we must ensure the supply of this group of soldiers who serve the defense of the country, and nothing can go wrong. ”

Zhang Ye paused and said: "In view of this, Ben Shuai decided to return the offering of Dan and temporarily raise it to five pills per person per day. The three Yang Dan pills per person per day were upgraded to three four yang pills per day. In addition, it is necessary to increase the supply of two four-grade condensing pills per person per day. In this way, we can ensure the cohesion of our army before the decisive battle. These can't be delayed, Zhuang Ning, your ministry must supply them in time. ”

This order was like a thunderbolt from the blue, smashing on Zhuang Ning's head.

Zhuang Ning's face became extremely ugly, twitched, and was covered in sweat.

Before, the additional supply of forty city defense battalions of Sanyang Dan was already a pressure on Zhuang Ning. But now not only has the number of people directly quadrupled, but also the supply of Hui Dan has doubled, the specification of "Yang Dan" has increased tenfold, plus the supply of four Ning Shen Dan, on the whole, the supply pressure has exceeded 100 times at that time.

The price of the Siyang Pill and the Sipin Condensing Pill is about the same, slightly higher than the Soul Pill, about one hundred and forty-five. At present, 64,000 troops are stationed, and the cost of only four Yang Dan and four condensing pills per person per day is about 700. Coupled with 5 Hui Dan per person per day, the total cost is about 800 per person.

In other words, the cost of supplying the army in front of the battle is close to 50 million in just one day. If the military formation is maintained for three months, it will be 5 billion.

Zhuang Ning's face turned blue in a hurry, and he said in a trembling voice: "Dashuai, are you ...... Can the standard be lowered a bit? All the large battalions of the central province are concentrated here, and the cost of just one day is close to 50 million, which directly puts a fatal pressure on the financial situation of our Tanghe province. Could the marshal consider whether to mobilize materials from the national treasury and other provincial treasury at his discretion?"

Zhang Ye shook his head and said, "No." First, time is running out, and if we do not increase supply, once the morale of the troops at the front is weakened, no one can afford to pay this responsibility. Second, distant water cannot quench thirst near it. At present, the central provinces are boundary, and the defense force is empty, and if there is a large-scale material mobilization and there is no force to protect it, it will bring extremely heavy losses. It is so decided, it cannot be delayed, but if there is an impact on the stability of our army, this commander will not show mercy under the sword, and those who delay the military situation will be beheaded, and they will be nailed to the unparalleled pillar of shame for life. ”

Zhuang Ning's face twitched obviously, his head was covered with sweat, but he couldn't say more.

Indeed, this kind of situation is full of war clouds and on the eve of the decisive battle of the army, not to mention that the relatives of the foreign minister of the court cannot bear the name of delaying military affairs, even the regent himself cannot stop it. There was really something wrong, and the head of the world was all over the world by being killed by the night bully, and there was a good reason, and there was no public resentment, so you can't joke.

What's even more fatal is that the cost of a day is close to 50 million, which looks like a lot, but in fact, even if this war is fought for half a year, it is about 9 billion supplies. If we look at the books of the provincial treasury and have a surplus, if we tighten our belts, the accumulation of the Tang River province can support the army to fight for more than half a year.

But it is not an unspoken rule now, and the provincial treasury is generally empty, and in fact, it is impossible to take out the book wealth.

Since there is money on the books, we can't shirk the lack of money, otherwise we will be asked, where does the money go? If it continues to be supplied, then it means that the consumption of 50 million a day will be figured out by Zhuang Ning himself, or he will ask for help from the Zhuang family in Wushuang.

Seeing that Zhuang Ning seemed to have lost his soul, he stood in a daze, and the officials of the Department of Government Affairs on finance all turned blue, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

Zhang Ye sneered in his heart, but said on the surface: "Zhuang Ning, why don't you respond to Ben Shuai, my army can't afford to wait outside." Why, according to the estimate, it will cost 50 million a day, don't you have the provincial treasury? Others may not know, but the prime minister is in charge of the internal minister's mansion, and the list of the treasury handed over by the Tanghe province every year can be reversed into the stream, and the prime minister will tell you how much money is in the treasury in turn? In addition, my unparalleled treasury allocates funds every year to subsidize your Tanghe Province and reduce the pressure on the people of your Tanghe Province, and now at the critical moment, the country is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is suppressing bandits on the border of your Tanghe Province, can't you Tanghe Province cede a little benefit and help my army fight?"

At this moment, more than a dozen officials of the Department of Government Affairs on finance knelt down as soon as their legs were weak, trembling and afraid to speak.

The embarrassing thing is that Zhang Ye is not only the governor of the capital, but also the minister of the court, how much money should be on the books of each province, others don't know, of course Zhang Ye knows better than anyone else.

After this situation of kneeling on the ground, Zhuang Ning was startled, and the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, and nodded: "Zhuang Ning obeys the order, since it is related to my unparalleled plan to suppress bandits, of course it costs money, and the most beneficial thing is my Tanghe Province." Okay, as for the issue of military spending, I will deal with it immediately. The first batch of pills will be supplied and sent to the front line within today's schedule. ”

Zhang Ye looked at him for a moment, nodded and said, "That's good." Ben Shuai said ugly things in the front, as long as it does not affect the morale of the army and does not affect His Highness's plan to suppress bandits, everything is good to say, and everything else can be discussed. But now the situation is grim, and once it affects the supply of military funds, no matter whose relatives or whose backstage they have, they will have to be beheaded. ”

Zhuang Ning knelt down violently, and then his heart was relieved, it sounded like Zhang Ye was hinting that as long as it did not affect the battle of the army and survived this catastrophe, then there would be a way to live in the future on the issue of the deficit of the treasury.

In this way, Zhuang Ning felt that things had taken a turn for the better, no matter what, he had to find a way to survive this difficulty, even if he did not hesitate to squeeze and blackmail Zhuang Bufan, the foreign minister of the DPRK and China, he had to think about the safety of his family.

"Chargebacks. Zhang Ye knocked down the hall wood, got up and walked into the inner hall......

After arranging the military strategy properly, because the timing of the decisive battle was far away, Zhang Ye did not force it. Using this time, I went on an eighteen-day retreat without being harassed by anyone.

Today's Zhang Ye is not only purified, the meridians are special, but also has the Taixuan Secret, so the progress is very gratifying.

Even with the current strong base, this retreat of less than a month has actually come to the end of the first layer of Jindan, and it seems that a breakthrough is just around the corner.

After leaving the customs, Zhang Ye walked into the lobby and sat down to take a sip of spiritual tea, and asked, "Biqing, is there anything wrong during my absence?"

Changkong Biqing said: "Back to Xiangye, there is no major event in the army, and in recent times, the cities have been harassed less on the contrary." There is a strange phenomenon that although all the forces in the central provinces are now concentrated and the number of people entering the city for rest and recuperation is increasing, according to the reported situation, the people's grievances are not great, and on the contrary, there are fewer frictions and conflicts than before. Well, it's weird. ”

Zhang Ye's heart moved, it should be that after asking Meng Jingran to deal with this last time, it had an effect.

While Zhang Ye lamented that Meng Jingran's ability was too great, he was also worried that water could carry a boat and capsize a boat, which more and more showed that Meng Jingran's energy was too great and was a terrifying unstable factor.
