Chapter 990: Cutting Power?
Fortunately, this kind of luck is not as rebellious as Yuan Shao, after all, Shennong Valley has not yet transformed some people who are suitable for joining the army into soldiers, and the existing soldiers do not enjoy the 20% bonus, so the overall strength of Shennong Valley has not been improved much for the time being.
However, it is foreseeable that in the near future, the combat power of Shennong Valley will be more than twice as strong as it is now.
When Ye Bin explained the great changes in Shennong Valley, everyone except for the full favorite, everyone showed a look of surprise.
When drowsiness comes, send pillows!
Monasting joy!
In this period when Yuan Shao was against the sky, Shennong Valley had such changes, which really made everyone have great confidence in the future.
"If you don't belong to your family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!"
Man Pet was about to cry: "Do you know how much it costs to be a soldier? ”
He looked around: "According to the regulations of Shennong Valley, each ordinary Shennong's monthly salary is 10 gold coins, and when he goes out to fight, he has three times the amount of Yulu, and now, we have 600,000 Shennong troops, and we need to consume six million gold coins every month, and in order to meet the upcoming battle, we need to consume 18 million gold coins every month...... Do you know what a huge overhead this is? ”
He gritted his teeth and said: "Shennong Valley implements the policy of hiding wealth from the people, does not charge any taxes, and the leased land can only get about three million per month...... Shennong paper is no longer sold to the outside world, only broken promises, and can create a huge income of 30 million yuan for us every month, but ......"
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "Don't talk about the city wall like a bottomless pit...... Build roads, build cities, and help displaced people to cope with the growing population...... Do you know how stressful it can be? ”
Man Pet felt that the whole world was not good, once another hundred or even two million soldiers were recruited, then in the upcoming battle, Shennong Valley was just for the expenses of ordinary soldiers, and it would reach a terrifying seventy-eight million gold coins every month!
This TM sold him, and he couldn't make so much money!
"This ......"
Xi Zhicai laughed dryly, he was not very good at politics, and asked strangely: "Isn't there still a lot of minerals in our Shennong Valley, and the timber can be sold?" During the war, these things should be able to sell for a high price, right? ”
Not to mention that Man Pet hadn't remembered it yet, this statement suddenly made him angry: "That group of craftsmen ...... I want this and that every day, not to mention going out to sell, even if it is not enough to make up for domestic demand, I have to buy it from other merchants! ”
"Ahem!"
Ye Bin coughed dryly: "Although it is not a good thing to say that the poor soldiers are silent, but now, there is only one way to go to the black ...... Well, we can think of a more way. ”
Speaking of this, his eyes rolled: "For example...... During the critical period, you can sell some useless things, such as ...... Those thousands of warships......"
"You called me?"
At this time, Gan Ning happened to walk in, he was a friend of Manchu's childhood, the two have always been in contact, since Manchu took refuge in Ye Bin, he persuaded him to come over and defect.
But at that time, Ye Bin was still just a small lord, and he was 108,000 miles away from the princes, how could he make the arrogant Gan Ning loyal?
This matter will be temporarily closed......
Later, Ye Bin gradually rose, and Gan Ning was not valued by Liu Biao, and even suffered exclusion, which made him regret it.
A chance contact made him have other ideas, he is not the kind of person who is treacherous, but Liu Biao is not a master, his allegiance must be to really understand himself, and can reuse his own character.
This is the scene where he helped Ye Bin and refused Yuan Shu to board the ship.
"Exactly!"
Ye Bin hesitated: "Ben Hou has a plan, I have to discuss it with you." ”
One-third of Liu Biao's warships have become the spoils of Shennong Valley, and Gan Ning, the temporarily appointed commander of the naval army, has naturally risen and become the upstart of Shennong Valley.
For Ye Bin's trust, Gan Ning is grateful from the bottom of his heart.
He felt that he had chosen the right one this time!
"Lord, you say!"
Gan Ning felt that Ye Bin was good at everything, but he was too gentle with his subordinates, if it was Liu Biao, no matter what happened, how could he use a consultative tone.
It's a pity that he didn't notice the strange eyes of everyone, otherwise, he would never have commented like this.
"Ahem......"
Ye Bin said with some embarrassment: "Ben Hou plans to ...... Sell the 3,500 search ships...... What does Xingba think? ”
"What?"
Gan Ning was stunned, he thought he had auditory hallucinations and sold warships? It's difficult to build this thing, in times of war, it's completely priceless, and no one sells it at all, so the lord doesn't want to cut his rights, right?
"Xingba, don't get me wrong!"
Ye Bin smiled, he knew that Gan Ning had just taken refuge in him, and he was still a little wary in his heart: "The reason why Ben Hou wants to sell warships ......"
Speaking of this, everyone looked at him puzzled, even the full favor was a little strange, the warship is a strategic material, even if the naval army of Shennong Valley has been trained by Zhou Yu, compared with Jiangdong and Jingzhou, there is still a huge gap.
Now, it is hard to get more than 3,000 real warships and become the third most powerful force in the Chinese Navy, how can it be sold?
This is not only an enemy...... It is even more to weaken one's own forces, which is completely worth the loss.
"The reason is that in no more than half a year, Ye has the confidence to build a warship that is truly beyond the level of the entire Chinese ......"
Ye Bin sighed with some emotion: "In Huaxia, it may be the strongest naval army in Jingzhou, but outside of Huaxia, there are countless more powerful naval forces, such as the 'Japanese Kou' who has a projectile land, and the strength of their naval army far exceeds ours...... Therefore, our eyes cannot be limited to China...... Go farther! ”
Jia Xu's eyes flickered, he had read the battle report of the battle with the Japanese Invaders, the navy of the people was indeed not comparable to any of the princes of China, people who had no foresight must have near-term worries, with the precedent of the Japanese Invaders, would there be no invasion by other countries?
According to Ye Bin's words, in the near future, I am afraid that there will be countless countries that will invade China, if the lord really has the ability to create a naval army that surpasses Huaxia, then why not sell warships?
"That's why we shouldn't sell warships......
Gan Ning still doesn't understand, where does Ye Bin get his confidence, the warship is not a thing that you can build if you have enough technology and funds, this thing ...... It's not as simple as it seems.
"Hehe, these two are coming!"
Ye Bin smiled: "Now, the big war is coming, if you lose, all of them will be suspended, and the navy will naturally be useless, and the funds sold by these warships are just used to build, millions of elites!" ”
PS: The third update, the tenth update for the Tianfeng Alliance, this month's plus more is a little tired...... It's three shifts today, everyone go to bed early!
