Chapter 31: If you have money, you have to spend it

When passing the No. 14 post, he asked Yang Chengyu whether the posts 1 to 14 posts could be stationed. After all, it was too tiring to run 100,000 miles every time they fought. Although these 14 posts were primary school, how could they be rich! Those with money and food don’t have to worry about the difficulties in replenishing supplies, and it is also convenient to mobilize troops.

The reason why he wanted to station the army at these 14 stations was not only to take care of the business trips in Yuzhou along the way. The more important reason was that he wanted to join forces with Simon to drive Seroy out of Jester. As long as it was not Seroy to control Jester, he would discuss it with Simon. As for the end, he would control Jester, and Simon to control Jester, it would not matter. If Yuzhou and Simon had to conflict, at least they had to defeat Seroy and Carter.

Yang Chengyu had already considered it clearly when he asked. If he wanted to kill the uncle of the country, he had to have strong military and financial resources. As for whom the last enemy in the Central Plains was, Yang Chengyu would not consider it. He only wanted to kill the uncle of the country. When he raised the issue of garrison at these 14 post stations, Yang Chengyu immediately agreed.

When he came, there were 200,000 people. In addition to the 30,000 black cavalry that were damaged by the war, there was still 170,000 troops left. He brought back 20,000, and handed over the command of the 150,000 black cavalry to Shenqiu, and stationed at Station No. 14.

The supply route was too long, and it took at least one month from Yushen Kingdom to Station No. 14. In the past, there were no military officers in the Zhenxi Army, and all supplies were served by the independent battalion. The independent battalion belonged to the emergency rescue force of the Jianghu. After he took over Yuzhou, all the other independent battalions except Lu Chi's Black Gun Camp were cut off by him.

He felt that the establishment of the battalion was not very convenient. There were 5,000 people in a battalion. If there were 5,000 people, it would be a lot, but if there were too many, it would be not many. So he cut off the battalion and the battalion could not take over many major issues.

He also felt that the output unit of the legion was too large, so of course he would not cut the legion. After all, large-scale battles require the legion unit. However, under the legion, the unit of the brigade 10,000 people seemed to be insufficient. He planned to use a military unit of the previous dynasty, "division". The system of a division was about 50,000, which was very suitable for the division of legion troops during large-scale battles. He was also a disadvantage discovered during the First World War in Ukraine. After the black cavalry rushed out of the left-wing enemy, he would not have been from

The Black Cavalry almost missed the opportunity to destroy the enemy after 70,000 people, so he thought of forming a division under the army. As for logistics issues, he planned to set up a group of logistics troops in the western army in Zhenxi to be responsible for military supplies. The selection question was originally intended to let He Chengfeng take over, but He Chengfeng was a little capable and had other uses for him. Finally, he decided to promote Wang Si to be the vanguard officer to be responsible for military supplies. After everything was decided, he prepared to go back to Yuzhou to convene his martial arts conference.

———

When he returned to Yuzhou, he gave He Chengfeng another task, and then went to Yuzhou City to see the construction of his Beggars' Gang General Building. Fortunately, it was completed in general. Now there is more than 100 million yuan in funds. Those who can start other things that should be done are ready to start first. He can get 100 million taels of silver in a war compensation fund by fighting the Ukrainian country. He was excited when he thought about it. If he beat all the countries in the desert, he still didn't know how much money he could make. What can you do! There is no reason to fight.

After returning to Yuzhou and handing over 110 million taels of silver to Yang Kai and Hu Bin, they were shocked. Now they did whatever they wanted in Yuzhou. He still made a request to them, to manage their subordinates' hands and take economic development first. The last time when the soldiers' military pay was adjusted, the salary of the group of civil servants was also increased. Anyway, the collective increase was 80%. If they were not favored, the officials would not complain. For him: the profit of arms was so

Big, how can I get millions of taels of silver? As long as someone fights, he will make money. In the future, the business travelers of the Great Wei Dynasty will be able to sell goods from Yuzhou, and the income will be more stable. For those four gangs, they will also leave goods from Simon, and they will also leave goods from Yuzhou. Why do you have to make tax silver for the Simon people to make money? Besides, the Simon people will not care about them if they have any problems in the desert. It would be different if they sell goods from Yuzhou. Yuzhou has the only established cavalry regiment in the Great Wei Dynasty, and you can rush into the depths of the desert at any time.

When the martial arts performance was set up, he asked the Beggars' Sect to send an invitation immediately. He was still looking forward to this martial arts conference. In the past, there were no prizes and it was just entertainment for people from the world. But this year was different, and he didn't want to mess up the conference. Moreover, there are still many useful talents in these martial arts sects, just like Yu Kun, who used to be a little Taoist priest? Now he has become the chief in charge of the 150,000-yuan field army.

He was also helpless. There were too few capable generals in the Zhenxi Army, but there were a few powerful generals. Like Chang Xiong, he was extremely powerful when he went to the battlefield, but that girl was only suitable for fighting but not for thinking. The two cavalry generals had a little brain, otherwise he would not have given the position of the commander of the 150,000 Black Cavalry to Chen Qiu.

Last time, Chang Xiong told him that there was a lieutenant named Shi Jun in the infantry. He also knew that in the last battle of Heihu Village, the Shi army destroyed Heihu Village with no casualties. After he came back, he immediately promoted Shi Jun to the lieutenant. He originally wanted to see how Shi Jun was capable, but he was very satisfied. At present, there was no reason to promote without the battle of the infantry. However, Shi Jun was still a candidate for the division commander in his mind. It is two concepts that he could fight and could fight. According to Chang Xiong, this Shi Jun was a bit similar to him, and he also knew what Chang Xiong meant was a bit like. For Chang Xiong's words, that was: he was talking round and round. No one with ability was not a lie round? Yang Chengyu's kind of person was not a lie round and round, so he didn't say anything, and he was in his control. What was the point of being able to have a lie round and round.

———

He talked to Yang Kai and Hu Bin again. When Halena left, she told him that she needed strong wine and medicinal materials, and he had to worry about it. If the Kingdom of Goddess was killed by Carter now, then his cooperation with Lao Bute would be useful? How could the Kingdom of Goddess be able to defeat Seroy? Hu Bin said that the medicine is fine, mainly strong wine is a bit troublesome, Yuzhou winery is still under construction, and he has to go to Zhongyuan to buy it. If you buy a large amount of money, you will probably be noticed. After all, strong wine is not something you can drink, and that thing is a trauma medicine, and the court has been controlling it.

The Wei Dynasty also had some differences in the control of materials, such as wine without controlling but strong wine, sword without controlling sword but armor and gastrointestinal control. In the past, salt and iron were also controlled, but later it was not controlled. Iron can be controlled. After all, the mines are all in the hands of the court, but salt is difficult to control. It is difficult to control private salt. The smuggling volume is too large, so the court directly lifted the control and increased the official tax. There is some reason why the court controls crossbows but not the bow. Crossbows are military controls that must be controlled, but bows... You must not let hunters hunt? So the people can trade swords, guns, swords, axes, hooks and forks at will. Only crossbows, armor, spears, and other military supplies cannot be bought and sold at will.

He was also worried that buying a large amount of strong wine is not a big deal. After all, Yuzhou still has hundreds of thousands of troops. The court will definitely not say anything if you buy it once or twice, but if you want to go to the winery for a long time, the court will definitely have to control it. Although the court will not come to beat him up, he will really have no choice if he wants to control the amount of strong wine. Think about it for a while and spend money! Let Hu Bin go to the Central Plains first, and Yuzhou is investing thousands of dollars to build a few more wineries. Let Yang Kai increase his wages and recruit a lot of workers first, and build the winery first. All military supplies are the first, and the civil service will be slower.

Then there is the road from Shancheng to Yuzhou City and Shacheng, as well as the road from the two new cities, all of which need to be added to the official road. Moreover, it must be large and wide, and it must be paved with stones. Don’t make it rain so much that there are so many big holes. There is also a road leading to the southwest mountain range, which must be repaired even if it is slow. The mountain road is repaired and it will be convenient to start or transport mines in the future.

The Northern Army Envoy is also about to start construction, and a super army Envoy is built right in front of Mohe. Yang Kai was so troublesome. How could there be so many workers? Yuzhou is now planning to be over 2 million people. But he told Yang Kai that he would directly process money and go to other places to recruit workers. It doesn’t matter if the salary is improved. Anyway, there is no shortage of money at present, and it will be even less short of money when Jester is taken down. Yang Kai could only nod and agree. The boss doesn’t care about money, so what else can he say, a working person? Afterwards, Yang Kai calculated the account and the five cities are connected.

The road still needs to be paved with stone, which is estimated to be tens of millions of taels. The five wineries are all built, which will cost more than eight million. The military subway will be built according to his requirements, and it is not even possible to think about it. You have to buy 10 million stones of grain, which will cost a lot of millions of taels, and there are other miscellaneous small factories and other civil facilities, which is estimated to be tens of millions of taels. The two new cities will be completed, which will cost at least more than 200 million, but it is still early to be completed and can be built slowly. This million yuan of silver has basically been killed.

In his words: If you have money, we have to spend it. We will spend it later. He will continue to recruit soldiers and have to match the 20,000 black cavalry he brought back to 80,000. This is a must. He went to the Western Liao negotiations for He Chengfeng, and mainly talked about two things. First: Xi Liao promised to be a vassal state of Yuzhou, and he took Xi Liao to work together. The condition is to challenge Xi Liao to challenge Donghu to fight back to the Mohe grassland and provide military supplies for Xi Liao. Second: Xi Liao provided him with war horses to send troops to fight for him. He is not a fool. If you, Tuoba Hongyu, don’t want to pay anything, why should you get a share of your pie? He still knows the combat effectiveness of the Western Liao army, and can be said to be very strong. If Tuoba Hongyu is willing to submit to him, he can bring the Western Liao cavalry into the desert.

It is to let Tuoba Hongyu know that only he can get Western Liao back to its peak and regain the grassland. He doesn't know whether the people of Western Liao are right or wrong. He is not afraid of Tuoba Hongyu's rebellion at all. The current Shacheng is not the Shacheng of the past, and the current Yuzhou is not the Yuzhou of the past. If Tuoba Hongyu dares to rebel, then he will have more reason to deal with Western Liao directly. At that time, Tuoba Hongyu may not even be a vassal.

He also had some purpose in taking over the Western Liao Dynasty. To cooperate with Lao Bute, he had to have some strength. It would be impossible to fight in the desert without any strength. Carter could have 300,000 cavalry at any mercenary. What about Carter's mainland? What about Persia, which is stronger than Carter? And the super giant Northern Sha Empire in Mobei was even more powerful. He felt that in addition to Persia, the Northern Sha Empire could fight against Carter and Seroy alone. As far as he knew, the Northern Sha Empire was at its peak, and at the height of the Northern Sha Empire fought from the northern Sha to the western Sha, and then from the western Sha to the southern Sha, and there was no rival. There was also a super empire in Monan, which was demolished to five in just three years.
