Chapter 788: Gold Devouring Behemoth!

Oh, my God!

Ying Chang never thought that the Ordnance Department's ability to burn money was so perverted, the budget of 70 million taels of silver, half a year's essence, was used up, it was not enough, and there were still fifty artillery battalions waiting for the Ordnance Department to produce artillery shells.

It's really a big underestimation of the Ordnance Department's ability to burn money!

"Is there a shortage of artillery?" Ying Chang asked with a frown.

"There are plenty of artillery, mainly not enough shells!" Yang Ze raised his hand and replied.

Ying Chang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that the artillery would not be enough!

Ying Chang's frowning brows relaxed, looked at Fang Zi and Yang Ze and asked, "How many shells can the Ordnance Department produce in a day?" ”

"Five thousand rounds!" Fang Zi quickly replied.

"Pei Ji!" Yingchang snorted softly!

"The minister is here!" Pei Ji's expression was solemn, and he shouted in a sonorous and powerful composition!

"Spread my will, immediately lead people to intercept all the artillery out of the city, tell them to return the same way, and still stand by the camp of the Beijing Division!" Yingchang resolutely and neatly ordered!

"Yes!"

Pei Ji raised his hand in response, and then turned to leave, after Pei Ji left, Yang Ze couldn't help frowning, and asked with a puzzled tone: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this?" ”

"Artillery is a branch of my Daqin just established, there are only 1,100 skilled people, and the rest are unfamiliar people who have not even touched artillery, after they return to their respective battalions with artillery, they will definitely have to be trained, Yang Aiqing thinks, how long is the artillery they are carrying now enough for training?" Ying Chang first explained, and then asked Yang Ze rhetorically.

"This...."

Ying Chang's words were too reasonable, leaving Yang Ze speechless.

"Whether it is the artillery battalion of the big battalion, each artillery battalion carries 10,000 shells, the military department gives priority to the port artillery battalion, followed by the coastline artillery battalion, and finally the artillery battalion of the major battalions, if the shells are not enough, then build it, and there is no money to build the imperial court appropriation!"

"One hundred and twenty artillery battalions, each artillery battalion has 10,000 shells, that is, 1,200,000 shells, a total of 120,000,000,000 taels of silver, isn't it 120,000,000 taels of silver? Daqin gave it, passed on my will, and allocated 300 million taels of silver to the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Households! ”

"300 million taels of silver, you can use it yourself, transform the cannonballs to make cannonballs, mobilize the people to escort the people, don't worry about the money, as long as Daqin still has one or two silver, I will spare no effort to support it!" Ying Chang looked solemn and said with a full temperament.

For the construction of the artillery battalion, Yingchang will definitely do whatever it takes, and the price paid now will definitely be very worthwhile in the future.

"The minister must live up to His Majesty's expectations, as long as he has money, the minister can ensure that the port artillery battalion and the coastline artillery battalion will arrive at their destination within three months!" Yang Ze bent down solemnly and respectfully and replied.

If you have money, you can recruit people to escort artillery, shells, and other military funds, which can greatly increase the speed of the artillery battalion's march.

"The Ordnance Department will not disappoint Your Majesty, and will make every effort to build artillery, and will also find ways to save money and expenditure!" Fang Zi also bowed respectfully and saluted back.

Ying Chang nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his arm slightly, signaling Fang Zi and Yang Ze to retreat, Fang Zi and Yang Ze saw this, and hurriedly and respectfully bowed, and soon left the imperial study.

It is estimated that Jia Luo must be distressed to death when he sees this excerpt, 300 million, not to mention Jia Luo, Yingchang, who has always been wealthy, is a little distressed.

Remove these 300 million taels of silver, and the treasury will be left with 1,321,900,000 taels of silver and 145 million stone of grain!

In just half a year, the Great Qin Imperial Court burned nearly 600 million taels of silver, and this artillery is really a gold-swallowing monster!

Time passed slowly, the days passed day by day, with the passage of time, the Ordnance Department began to produce artillery again after getting the money from the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War also took part of the money to collect people, and collected nearly 300,000 people in one breath, and also mobilized nearly 500,000 reserve battalion soldiers in service, and 800,000 people went all out to escort artillery and shells.

Mobilizing 800,000 people to escort the transport, this scale is simply unprecedented for the nations, and there is no difference from moving the country, even a third-rate dynasty like the Yue Dynasty can't get 800,000 young people, but the Qin Dynasty easily mobilized 800,000 young people, which shows how perverted the population of the Great Qin Dynasty is.

In the twenty-sixth year of the Holy Qin, the first day of July!

Chenshi!

The border between the Southern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, Peach Blossom Valley!

Peach Blossom Valley, as the name suggests, the whole valley is covered with peach blossom trees, is a very beautiful, very famous scenic spot, there have been countless heroes and heroes here to drink and talk, enjoy the flowers and chant poems, leaving a sentence of eternal swan song!

It's a pity that it's July at this time, and the peach blossoms have turned into autumn mud when they fall to the ground, and they don't see the beauty of the past!

What's more pity is that due to the dangerous terrain of the Peach Blossom Valley, it has become one of the main battlefields of the Northern and Southern Wei Dynasty, since June, the Southern Wei army has attacked the Northern Wei army in the Peach Blossom Valley several times, although each time it is left with a large number of corpses and retreated, but the Northern Wei army has suffered heavy losses, and it is increasingly unable to withstand the attack of the Southern Wei army.

Because of the war and killing, Peach Blossom Valley was lifeless, and the air was filled with a disgusting rancid smell, and those heroes and heroes who had drunk and talked in Peach Blossom Valley would surely sigh when they saw this scene.

Located on the high hill flat land of the back valley of the Peach Blossom Valley, a white camp tent stands here, this is a military camp, look at the military flag of the word "palace" fluttering in the wind in the barracks, you will know that this military camp is the military camp of the Northern Wei Dynasty!

There are a total of 20,000 tents in the military camp of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but 10,000 tents are empty tents, the owners of these empty tents are lying in a pile of corpses, reduced to the lonely ghosts of the Peach Blossom Valley, the war is cruel, but also sad, every day here, there are tragic things happening!

The Northern Wei military camp is very quiet, because of the quiet depression, the whole army is showing a decadent atmosphere, many Northern Wei soldiers lie on the ground and look up at the sky, as if asking God, when will the war end, God is silent, the answer is in the hearts of the soldiers!

Located in the center of the Northern Wei military camp in the tent, many Northern Wei generals stand on both sides of the tent, and on the top of the handsome seat sits a powerful middle-aged general, this middle-aged general is wearing heavy dark blue armor and a purple tasseled helmet, which is the general Zuo Zhen in the town of Zheng Erpin of the Northern Wei Dynasty!

PS: "Ask for a recommended ticket, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward, ask for a full order, ask for four daily requests, and I hope that all the officials will support the small ones, and the small ones are grateful, thank you!" ”
