Chapter 838: One Hundred Thousand Guan in a Time of Need(2/2)
49,000 garrison troops, 24,000 levy troops, 15,000 government troops, plus native regiment troops,
At least 100,000 shi of millet and 100,000 bolts of silk are required for a month. The millet is worth 3,000 guan, and the silk is worth 20,000 guan. Including officers, ordnance, etc., it is estimated that a month is at least 30,000 guan.
Zhang Fuguo gave Huaiyu 200,000 yuan, which could support the army for half a year.
But with this income of 200,000 guan, at least there is immediate military reward and money for the army.
From now on, the Shipping Department will be able to earn nearly 50,000 guan every month, and the Imperial Government alone will be able to receive more than 16,000 guan. There will be a steady flow of water, so there is no need to worry so much.
"Shuai Lian, if the Lingnan chieftains are unwilling to accept the three-thirds tax system and are unwilling to pay two-thirds of the taxes to the envoys, military expenditures will skyrocket once the war begins."
This is indeed a problem.
But Wu Huaiyu was not afraid, "Whoever dares to rebel will be directly suppressed. Then the property of those rebels will be confiscated, and the rebels will even be sold as slaves to pay for the military expenses. There is no chance that they will make a fortune."
Zhang Fuguo looked at Wu Huaiyu's sneer and believed in his heart that he would really do this. He was even completely convinced that he could suppress those powerful chiefs and slang commanders who dared to rebel.
"Our Guangzhou Shipping Department fully supports Lian Shuai, and we will just give you instructions if necessary."
