Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh, "What a headache." ”

Seeing this, Anya also gently pulled Chen Xin's arm and comforted, "Xuanhe, don't worry, you will definitely be able to think of a way." ”

Forget it, I don't want to think about it for the time being, there is still a long time before we march into the Central Plains and compete in the world, so you can first experiment with the Confucian protégés who came from within the kingdom.

Anyway, the number of these people is small, and they are also divided by the kingdom's household registration policy, and they are weak, so there will be no big mess.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin temporarily let go of his worries and responded to Anya's comfort, "Okay, listen to you, I remember that there is a ball game in the guard flag team today, let's go and see it together." ”

"Okay" Anya agreed, and then attached it to Chen Xin's ear and said softly, "But, Xuan He, can you go slower?" ”

Of course, Chen Xin would not refuse, but he still asked with concern, "What's wrong, does your leg hurt?" ”

"It's not you."

Chen Xin suddenly said, what else can he say, this pot, he has to carry it, he can only pretend to be stupid and stunned, "Hehe." ”

So, the two of them drove lightly and slowly turned to the court to watch a confrontation between muscle sticks.

······

In the following days, Chen Xin was busy dealing with the Confucian protégés who were preparing to jointly write a letter against the female official system, and even demanded the restoration of the Han family law.

The intelligence organization under the National Security Committee did not place intelligence personnel in the country, so Chen Xin could only arrange for the tigers to help investigate and determine the specific personnel step by step, which Chen Xin needed to arrange in person.

After knowing that two days later, Chen Xin got a detailed list, which was divided into different organizations, demands, and groups of Confucian scholars in detail.

Then, things are simple, the same classification, scatter these people, arrange them to different places under different names, and conduct closed training.

It just so happened that the front line was fighting, and more than 20 battalions of troops went out to fight, vacating several barracks and training grounds, and arranging more than 100 people in an open field that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Not to mention being divided into more than a dozen groups, even if it is a single courtyard, it is okay for them not to see each other, of course, Chen Xin will not be so ruthless, in that case, it will be too obvious, and it will be too slap in the face, I am afraid that it will hinder the future training.

Immediately after entering the barracks, the men were confiscated of all their belongings, given a set of training uniforms, and then began a three-month "physical exercise" or "induction training".

Finally finished this matter, Chen Xin was ready to take a good rest and accompany the beautiful woman, and received a financial statement.

"That's too exaggerated!" Chen Xin muttered in disbelief.

As for the official who came to report in front of him, he sat upright without squinting, without the slightest intention of interjecting.

Chen Xin looked at the report in front of him, which showed that it had only been two months of fighting, and the military expenditure had reached more than 200 million yuan.

The kingdom originally attached great importance to military merits, Chen Xin learned the lessons of the Ming Dynasty, and implemented a preferential policy for the kingdom's army, and originally, the military salary of soldiers was the same as that of the kingdom's officials.

And the troops who go out to fight have a 50 percent combat allowance, and the financial pressure is even greater.

However, the bulk is not this salary and allowance, when the army goes out, the arsenal is also working overtime.

Although all the arsenals belong to the state-run, after all, they are not like the Ming Dynasty, which is engaged in oppression, but belongs to commercial management, and the workers get performance wages, which is a large amount of expenditure.

In addition, the supply of grain, grass and medicine went to the sea.

You must know that the front line, the Shangjing area, has been turned into an empty shell by the Houjin, and there will be no supplies over there.

All things, grain, vegetables, eggs, meat, fodder, fuel, tools, and so on, had to be transported long distances from the kingdom, and although there was the convenience of sea transportation, the cost of transit was not as great as that of land transportation, but the cost of sea transportation should not be underestimated.

The combination of all aspects has also led to the huge military spending figures that surprise Chen Xin today.

No wonder, later generations often heard people say that the cannon goes off with ten thousand taels of gold, which is really not a lie.

These are just two battles on the doorstep, and they have already cost so much.

Chen Xin now, he finally understands the beauty of the later generations, no wonder once they start a war, the massive military expenditure figures announced can scare people to death.

"What, is there a problem with the kingdom's finances now? There is a deficit? ”

"No, your lordship, the deficit is not enough.

However, the kingdom's military expenditures were basically paid for from the gold mines mined in the Sado Kanzan mining area of the Wa Kingdom that it occupied a few years ago.

However, judging from the current expenditures and the budget provided by the Ministry of War for the next few months, this source of military expenditure may not be enough to support the normal conduct of the subsequent campaign.

Therefore, we would like to ask whether the Ministry of Finance needs to activate an emergency plan to divert part of the government's financial expenditure to escort the front-line army's campaign. ”

"Wouldn't it? Just 200 million can use up Sado Kanayama's income this year? ”

"Your Majesty, on the side of the army, it's not just the front-line troops, the navy is the big one, didn't you also approve the plan to build a new all-steel battleship? That's thousands of tons of steel, plus a lot of parts. ”

Chen Xin nodded to indicate that he remembered, and then drank tea and thought slowly.

In the past few years, I have never bothered about military spending, after all, the mining volume of Sado Gold Mountain is not bad, there is a surplus every year, and sometimes, the government finances are tight, and the army can still support some of it.

But now, all of a sudden, I can't make ends meet, and it's really troublesome.

After all, they have always been accustomed to the robbery style of "eating on the enemy", and every war can release most of the logistical pressure on the people of the enemy country.

However, the United Kingdom of China can't do this, can Chen Xin still let his soldiers turn into a group of uncontrolled beasts?

Barbarism and civilization are opposed, civilization always loses money, and for Houjin, war is always a profitable business, even if it loses the war, it is just that it has not grabbed something. Even if civilization wins, will it be possible to snatch something from the poor barbarians who don't even have any possessions?

"The battle on the front line is the focus of the Kingdom's recent work, and there is no room for error, and it must be fully guaranteed.

Let the Ministry of War provide the Ministry of Finance with an approximate table of the consumption of war materials, and the Ministry of Finance will do a good job of coordinating the work to see how much money needs to be filled.

Also, after you've completed your plan, I'll attend a hearing with you and the Ministry of War to see what happens.

Alright, for the time being, you go down first. ”

"Yes, the minister retired."

After the people from the Ministry of Finance left, Chen Xin thought about it again and ordered the secretary, "The next cabinet meeting will be held in advance, and the time will be set for the day after tomorrow, and an additional agenda item will be added, which is to solve the financial crisis that may arise at present." ”

Yes, the financial crisis, Chen Xin is not alarmist, in recent years, military spending has never used government taxes, so the kingdom can travel lightly and settle about a million displaced immigrants from all over the country every year.

The kingdom arranged for this large number of immigrants to provide basic living security, so that they could recuperate with peace of mind, and then through training, they were distributed to various places.

The immigrants were able to quickly integrate into the kingdom without major upheaval, all thanks to the real money.

If, once the military expenditure needs to go the way of government finance, it is likely to affect the kingdom's immigration policy, and there are things that need to be adjusted, then it is too much. 12910
