Stuff is a good thing. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info but good things have to be made with money. Carrying most of the horse lance brought by Xiao Ning, he put his head on the ground, and with a little force, the lance had bent out of a huge arc, and the spear blade had already sunk into the ground for more than half a foot, and as for a horizontal knot above the spear blade, it stopped.

As soon as the strength of the hand was loosened, the lance rod was heavy and straight. Stretch out your fingers and knock lightly, and the sound is like gold and iron.

"A spear, I'm afraid that it won't cost a hundred taels of silver, five thousand cavalry, one branch per person, this will cost 500,000 taels of silver, and I have to add some spare, cavalry and cavalry, it's really out of money!" Qin Feng covered his head with his hands in pain, "I hope that the cavalry trained by Yu Chao can live up to my bankruptcy." ”

Hearing Qin Feng say this, Xiao Ning knew that Qin Feng had already agreed to use the ring-headed sword and horse lance as the standard configuration of the cavalry.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the ring head knife and horse lance, Lord Wen also proposed to equip the cavalry with a new type of crossbow machine, this kind of crossbow machine is simple to operate, extremely fast to get started, and the shooting range can reach one hundred and fifty steps, although the cost of the bow and arrow is higher, but our cavalry can't ride and shoot, with this kind of crossbow machine, the formation of combat effectiveness can be faster, and it can also save more training time." Xiao Ning said.

"Okay, okay, I'm willing to give up a horse lance of about one hundred taels of silver, and I can't bear this crossbow machine, match, equip them." Although his heart was dripping with blood, Qin Feng still waved his hand generously and said boldly.

"Your Majesty, then after I go down, I will place an order with the Ministry of Works, don't hesitate, this horse lance is so difficult to make, this time next year, you can see a truly powerful cavalry!" Xiao Ning said.

"Okay, okay, tell the skillful hand, a hundred taels of silver, you must give me more careful." Qin Feng grimaced.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has retired." Holding back a smile, Xiao Ning bowed and retreated.

Qin Feng was the only one left in the room, and when he lifted the half of the horse lance, he flew in the air a few times, "The people of the Qin State have already had this thing, if their heavy cavalry is equipped with this thing, they will really be invincible in the world, and they are really glad that they are so poor that they can't afford to make this thing, otherwise it will be really a big trouble." ”

Thinking of this, his mood improved again, although he was also short of money, he was far from being like Qin Guo. In fact, the country of Qin is poor, but their royal family, their wealthy families, are really short of money?

He sneered, that's fine. You just work hard and pull it into your arms, and pull it more, and one day, it will be mine.

It's all mine!

He held the lance, posed in the room, and laughed.

Father-in-law Le appeared at the door, and when he saw Qin Feng's somewhat strange appearance, he was immediately petrified on the ground, and his mouth was open, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Uh-huh, Grandpa Le, what's the matter?" Qin Feng put away the horse lance and placed it in a corner of the room, although it was broken, it was still good as a decoration.

"Your Majesty, Su Kairong, the head of the household, and his son Su Can are waiting outside." Father-in-law Le dared to put away the surprised expression on his face, and reported to Qin Feng with an unwavering appearance.

"Uh-huh, yes, I asked them to come, let them in." Qin Feng Dao. After returning to the big case, he sat down, picked up the book of "On Money" casually, flipped through it, and looked thoughtful.

"See Your Majesty!" Su Kairong bowed deeply, he was a three-grade Shangshu, a high-ranking official in the court, seeing that Qin Feng only needed to bow to salute, but his son Su Can was a grass people, and he was kneeling on the ground at this moment.

"Let's get flat!" Qin Feng waved his hand, "Su Shangshu, please take a seat, this is your son Su Can?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is my unsuccessful son." Su Kairong sat on the brocade bench and looked at his son Su Can, who was standing beside him.

Qin Feng was also looking at this guy who wrote the theory of money, white and fat, in stark contrast to the skinny Su Kairong, standing there, even if he didn't smile, the squinted eyes and the fat were also happy, and he was a businessman.

Born in a wealthy family like the Su family, even if it is Bai Ding, he is not at a loss at the moment, but stands there with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, looking calm, just clenched his fists, after all, showing the tension in his heart.

"Su Shangshu, I just finalized a military order with Xiao Shilang of the Ministry of War, which is for the cavalry battalion that is being prepared, a complete set of equipment, not counting horses, just weapons, at least one million taels of silver can be taken down." Qin Feng first ignored the fat man Su Can, but said to Su Kairong.

Hearing that as soon as Qin Feng opened his mouth, it was one million taels of silver, Su Kairong's face suddenly tightened, and he raised his head, already with a sad look on his face.

"Your Majesty, this and this, a cavalry battalion alone costs a million taels, so what about the other tens of thousands of troops? Although the budget for next year's military headquarters has not yet been come up, there is still a fixed number, and if there are more of them, there will be fewer other battalions, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of quarrel at that time. ”

"Don't talk about this yet, just tell me how much we have earned this year?" Qin Feng interrupted Su Kairong's complaint and said.

Su Kairong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he was clear of these accounts, otherwise, he would not have stayed in this position for decades, and he was still reused after several emperors.

"Your Majesty, in the first half of this year, there was nothing left, the treasury was empty, if it wasn't for the 10 million taels of silver you allocated from the inner treasury, the second half of the year would not have been opened at all. Now that the autumn harvest has passed, and all kinds of taxes have begun to slowly return, the officials of the ministers and household departments have roughly estimated that the income in the second half of this year will not exceed 10 million taels of silver. Your 10 million taels, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back this year. ”

"I don't have to pay back my 10 million taels." Qin Feng waved his hand, "Ten million, that's very good!" If you calculate it in this way, won't you have an income of 20 to 30 million next year? ”

"That's not all, the second half of this year has been filling the deficit in the first half of the year, coupled with a series of political reforms such as the reform of government officials and the elimination of redundant personnel, next year's life will be better, and the minister estimates that next year's income will definitely exceed 30 million taels."

"And you're still saying we don't have any money?" Qin Feng's eyes widened, "Dare to love you, are you playing a bitter trick?" Sing me a bitter tune first, and then surprise me? ”

"Your Majesty!" Su Kairong couldn't cry or laugh: "It seems that there is a lot of income, but there are many places that can't stand it." I'll give you an account, and the first thing that is the biggest one is military spending, which is insignificant. Now our field army has a total of ten battalions and 50,000 men, and this is just a soldier, and their salaries are averaged, one person is one hundred taels of silver, which is five million taels, and then counting the expenses of the auxiliaries, as well as the replenishment of weapons, and the support of grain and grass, after a year, there will be no 10 million taels of silver. This has to be a war, like now we are still using troops in front of the four counties of Fuyuan, although there is no big fight, but the expenses are also indispensable, roughly calculated, I am afraid that it will have to be a million taels to get things done. To be honest, now the minister is looking forward to them killing the barbarians earlier, and this money can be saved. ”

"Military spending cannot be less." Qin Feng muttered: "At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, internal and external troubles, the army is the pillar of the pillar, it is the needle of the sea god, I would rather save some elsewhere, this money must be guaranteed." ”

"These ministers understand." Su Kairong nodded and said, "The second expense is the official's salary. According to your previous will, once the ongoing reform of the officials is successful, although most of the troublemakers will be spent, but the salaries of the officials who were not previously borne by the imperial court will be included, and the expenses will actually increase unabated. This one, in a year, will be at least 10 million taels. ”

"The wool comes out of the sheep, and the court did not bear it before, so where did their salaries come from? It's not scraped off the imperial court, now give him a regular Luo, all the money from the imperial court, they don't want to make me a confused account again, and after the reform of the official administration, the efficiency of the officials will inevitably improve, and the things of the fish and meat people dare not say that they are forbidden, at least it will be greatly reduced, and the pressure on the people will be reduced, in fact, it is to reduce the pressure on the court, which is a cost-effective thing, in the long run, the benefits are far greater than the suffocation, this money, the court gets. ”

"Your Majesty, there are no more than 20 million silver." Su Kairong raised two fingers. "Ge Qing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, visited me two days before his birthday, and talked about his plan for next year, the first thing is to renovate the Luo River, the Luo River floods every year, the people on both sides of the river suffer from waterlogging, every year to treat, every year to break the embankment, Ge Shangshu said to once and for all, the first cost will be 5 million taels. He also wanted to build water conservancy on a large scale, digging weirs and repairing embankments in southern counties and other counties, and he wanted more than 100,000 taels. It is also necessary to build roads, saying that if two roads are built, across the east and west, north and south of Dayue, it will require millions of taels of start-up funds. ”

Qin Feng's eyes widened and he looked at Su Kairong.

"As long as the old master of the Ministry of Rites sees me, he will talk to me about building a school, building a college, and subsidizing students. Su Kairong smiled bitterly.

"Old Master Chen is indeed powerful." Qin Feng nodded again and again.

"Huo Shangshu of the Ministry of War is ready to implement the reserve military service system throughout the country, he said that now we have this little strength of the Ming Dynasty, once a big battle starts, it will not be enough for others to eat, and it is necessary to train the militia during the national agricultural slack period, so that these people can come and go as soon as they are called, and they can be gathered into troops when they want, and when they don't want to, they will be peasants if they are disbanded, and he will even carry out this kind of training in the city, and the subsidy for this one alone will be amazing."

"The minister adds up these various needs, even if God blesses him next year, there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't need the court's relief, they will already be unable to make ends meet." Su Kairong smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that next year, the imperial court will still have to borrow money to get by. When I think about this, I don't know what to eat! ”

"In fact, borrowing to get by, for a country, is nothing." The white fat man, who had been standing behind him, suddenly threw out a sentence. "As long as the country's credit is still there."

Hearing the white fat man speak, Su Kairong was angry, "Shut up, what do you know, this is a national event, do you think it's your Qian Zhuangzi?" ”
