Chapter 1047: Fierce Battle (27)

Liu Yong arranged the task, and he could only wait for the person who accepted the task to complete it, and the rest of the time was free time, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Walking down the street with the concubine, no one cares about it, and no one asks. What is called chic, Liu Yong is it.

Liu Yong is naturally very chic, and the emperor of the Dayang Dynasty is not chic. In addition to facing the hardship of lack of silver, because the iron wall is still being built. Now, only the outer city wall near the state capital of the Han army has shocked the second iron wall, and the inner city, including the capital city, has not been built.

The idea of the iron wall was only the one that Lenta came up with. That was before the line of defense was lost. At that time, Naleng was worried about the defense of Zhenping Mansion, and Lunta came up with such an idea to strengthen the city wall of Zhangzhou, an important town in the west of Zhenping Mansion. Simply build another wall outside the city, which should be thick, and a layer of cast iron plates should be sandwiched in between.

Then he gave the order according to Lenta's wishes. With the first time, Naleng felt that this second layer of wall was very necessary, mainly to prevent the artillery of the Han army.

So he ordered all the sergeant places along the western route to be repaired to the second to the city wall. And just when the Han army captured the defensive line and captured Cuiping County, Mazhen, an important town in the west of Huangzhou, just finished repairing the second iron city wall.

However, this has already begun to cause the Great Yang Dynasty's finances to collapse. Almost all of the money that had been obtained from the ten western countries before was used for the construction of the city wall, except for filling up the deficit.

Now, the number of children in the imperial court has begun to increase again. However, as the emperor of the Great Yang Dynasty, Na Leng naturally couldn't care about the problem of the child.

Naleng knew very well that when the Tatar people were in Mobei in the past, there was no imperial court, only the Great Khan and a tribe. Hunting and grazing, there is still no shortage of food or clothing, and there is no shortage of money for fighting.

Naleng made such a determination, but if he couldn't do it, he disbanded all the civil officials, leaving only the generals and the army, so that he could compete with the Han army with the support provided by Mobei.

Therefore, where can Naleng manage the fiscal deficit now? He ordered that whatever was in the palace should be eaten. And the ministers below have also stopped paying money, and those who don't want to be officials can resign.

The intention is obvious, that is, to concentrate the only remaining resources in hand to fully support the army ahead. Naleng also ordered Mobei to not only graze, but also to hunt hard, and try to buy fur products to the country of Islam, as well as the Xian country in the northeast, to increase their annual tribute. If you are not convinced, you will use force to suppress it.

Now, the vassal states of the Great Yang Dynasty are only a few small northern states dominated by the Xian Kingdom. The annual tribute was originally 100,000 taels of silver, but now it has increased to 300,000 taels. Such a figure is undoubtedly a disaster for a small country like Xianguo. It can be said that the people of their country do not eat or drink, and their annual savings income is only this number.

However, the increase in the price of the ghost actually cannot starve the citizens of these small countries, otherwise, it will cause a national rebellion, and the Tatar army will not be easy to deal with.

Therefore, they should be given what they should eat. The rest will be paid in full tribute. In this way, Xian Guo has the most, and this year it has received an annual tribute of 150,000 taels of silver. The other small countries add up to 50,000 taels of silver. There were 200,000 taels of silver in all.

This is undoubtedly a huge amount of money in the Dayang Dynasty, which is on the verge of financial bankruptcy. Be sure to use it sparingly and try to use the good steel on the blade. However, this silver is the amount of money used in Liu Yong's palace for a year. The gap can be imagined.

This year, the money can be used for military spending. Even if the soldiers don't want military pay, they still have to eat. As for military salaries, some have to be given more or less.

As for the money for the construction of the iron wall, it will have to be prepared separately. Now, Lenta is gone, and the civil servants are resting at home. Of course, there were some important officials, although they no longer had a fortune, but they still came to the court to help the court tide over the difficulties.

For such a person, Naleng is very moved. There are still many things that the imperial court needs to be done by civil officials. Then Leng can't let them do things in vain, and give them more or less money, that is, enough to eat.

Most of the eunuchs and palace daughters were also dismissed in the palace of Naleng. There were also some concubines who had never even seen Naleng and left the palace. They didn't give any money, but they were allowed to take their own size out of the palace, and they wouldn't starve to death.

The remaining remnants of Nalena were concentrated in the palace behind the main hall, and most of the rest of the palace was locked.

In this way, the use of the palace can be reduced by at least ninety percent. It's already an incredible achievement. Now, just like when he was in Mobei before, only his family members were left, and there were only more than 20 people in total. There were only about 30 servants. More than 60 people ate. Previously, it was nearly 600 people.

In this way, although Naleng felt sad, he was still happy for his fragrance. It's sad because being an emperor is like this, and it's unprecedented.

Happily, the financial pressure has been greatly reduced. Now, plus most of the civil servants have resigned, they are going their separate ways. In fact, many of them returned to Mobei. Many of these ministers have territories in Mobei.

Although the days of returning are not as chic in this Middle-earth, they can go back to eat and drink spicy food. They are all acceptable, too.

But when I went back, Naleng still had an explanation. It is to manage Mobei well, once this is given to the Han army, then Mobei will be an important bargaining chip for the re-emergence of their Tatars.

These people are all Tatar nobles, and naturally they also have to consider their own interests, the so-called prosperity and loss, they naturally dare not slack off. They readily agreed.

There were also some Han officials in the court here, and they could be said to have no place to go at this time. If you want to go back to Jiangnan, first, you can't get through the war, and even if you can get over, your experience as an official in the Dayang Dynasty will be resisted by the Han people. can only be a man with his tail between his legs.

Go to Mobei, they don't know how to hunt, and they are not used to the nomadic life of Mobei. They are accustomed to being comfortable and do not want to live a life of eating and sleeping in the open. Nomadic, that is, to move frequently.

And the most important point is that the climate in Mobei is cold and windy, and the people they have nourished in this middle earth can't stand the climate.

The rest is that these Tatars don't seem to welcome these Han Chinese. Although he was also an official in one dynasty, but now he is fighting with the Han army, and the hostility is more or less.

And these Han soldiers also know this, so they don't dare to go to the Mobei, and if they don't get it, their lives will be in danger.
