Chapter 194 The Wealth of Qin State
Chapter 194 The Wealth of Qin
Hearing Mr. Mo speak.
The generals hesitated subconsciously.
After all, the war situation has not yet been completely determined. Ying Zheng only secretly convened a group of generals to discuss it several times. The whole matter is still kept secret for the time being.
But then everyone remembered Mo Jun's identity, and Wang Jian said: "Although it has not been agreed yet, I should be the one to take the lead in this battle, and the number of troops should be two hundred thousand."
After hearing the words, Mr. Mo pondered for a while, and then replied: "In that case, I understand. I will submit the specific accounts to the king when the time comes. Although it has not been determined yet, the food and grass will at least be no less than one million dan.
In addition, the national treasury is quite abundant now, so when the war starts, there should be 50,000 kilograms of pickled or dried fish and mutton accompanying the army..."
Mr. Mo did not make his words too clear. After all, although he was in charge of the internal history of Su, it was Ying Zheng who made the final decision.
If Mr. Mo makes a move similar to "guaranteeing" here at this time, it will inevitably be true.
But even so.
Mo Jun's offer also shocked all the generals.
"A million kilo of grain? Are you serious about what Mr. Shengping said?"
"There are actually 50,000 kilograms of pickled and air-dried fish and mutton, darling~ Is our Daqin so rich now?"
"I have heard for a long time that Lord Shengping's amassing wealth is rare in the world. Ever since Lord Shengping took office, I and my soldiers have been favored by Lord Shengping several times when we were at the border. But when we meet today, I realize that all of them were just before.
I saw some fur!"
······
Many generals were shocked by Lord Mo's handiwork.
No wonder they had such a reaction. After all, as soldiers of the Qin State, they had probably never fought such a wealthy battle in their eight lives.
Even Meng Ao and Wang Jian were shocked.
Because they had already seen how "generous" Mr. Mo's actions were last time, so when the war started this time, the two of them were not as worried about food and grass as other generals.
But now Mo Jun's quotation was still beyond their expectations.
What a joke.
Which country is at war these days and still has meat to eat?
How rich do you have to be to be so wealthy?
"Hey~ Mr. Mo, tell me how much grain and money there are in the Qin State's treasury now?" Wang Jian couldn't help but leaned into Mr. Mo's ear and asked in a low voice.
However, in response to this, Mr. Mo smiled mysteriously and did not respond. He just said: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked."
Today's treasury has truly become a secret place of the Qin State.
When the previous governors were in office, the treasury of the State of Qin was not only poor, but most of the accounts in it were also leaking like a sieve. Basically, the senior dignitaries of the State of Qin probably had a good idea of the accounts in the treasury.
However, since Mr. Mo took office, he has "cleaned up the house" several times in succession. It is difficult to clean up the bad debts from the past, so the past events can only be accumulated temporarily.
But now the entire [Zhi Su Nei Shi Mansion] has used the new calculation method created by Mo Jun, and now all the accounts have begun to be reorganized.
What's more important is.
Mr. Mo implemented a reform within [Zhi Su Neishi Mansion], re-refined the department management system within [Zhi Su Nei Shi Mansion], and decentralized the rights of all departments.
Even if there are still people stationed in the [Zhi Su Naishi Mansion], they can only know part of the treasury's accounts at most.
in other words.
Now there are only two people in the world who really know all the detailed accounts of the treasury.
One is Mr. Mo.
The second is Ying Zheng.
Even more seriously, I am afraid only Mr. Mo knows how much money is in the treasury of the Zhi Su Nei Shi Mansion.
As for how much savings there are in the national treasury now.
Mr. Mo can only say that the biggest reason why Ying Zheng dared to start the war at this time was not the brave army of Qin State, but the current treasury of Qin State.
[New Grain Seeds], [Private Salt Business], [Hanzhong Business Tax].
These three things have brought an unimaginable amount of food and wealth to the current Qin State. In addition, the current internal economic system of the Qin State is not mature at all, and it is difficult for property to circulate within the Qin State. As a result, money can only be accumulated and stored.
stand up.
After hearing a certain tone from Mr. Mo, the atmosphere in the whole room obviously became much more relaxed, and the awkward atmosphere before was instantly wiped away.
"You old guys, I told you before that this guy is not a stingy person. He is different from those guys before. How about it? Now you believe it!" Meng Aohu said with a face.
"Hehehehe~~~ Mr. Meng, this matter is indeed our villain's wish. But we can't be blamed for this matter. You also know what the previous 'Zhi Su Neishi' was. Although we are a big
You're a rough guy, but you can't joke with the lives of the soldiers below, so even if you're a villain, we have to ask for confirmation on this matter."
"In addition, since Mr. Shengping has distributed General Wang Jian's share of food and grass today, I would like to ask Mr. Shengping to take care of the next share."
As he said that, the general stood up suddenly, picked up the wine glass and said to Mr. Mo with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, yes~~ I also have my share, please take care of it, Shengping-kun."
"And I······"
"I also come to offer a toast to Mr. Shengping."
Today, Meng Ao and Wang Jian led a dozen of Qin's most prestigious generals to hold a banquet. The purpose was naturally not just to get some information from Lord Mo.
There are two main reasons why Meng Ao and Wang Jian did this today.
One is to introduce these generals to Mr. Mo.
As Mr. Mo's status gradually improved, it was only a matter of time before he entered this circle. In the past, most of these generals were stationed at the border all year round and never had the chance.
And now, taking advantage of Ying Zheng's opportunity to recall the border generals, Wang Jian and Meng Ao took the lead and introduced these people to Mo Jun.
Since then.
Only then did Mr. Mo truly enter the top ranks of the Qin Kingdom.
And these people will also become one of Mo Jun's heritage in the future.
In fact, originally, as the ‘Zhi Su Neishi’, Lord Mo should have been a member of the civil service group, but unfortunately, the relationship between Lord Mo and the current civil service group of Qin State is not very good.
The second is simply to catch the autumn wind.
After all, Mr. Mo's current position as 'Governing Su Neishi' can be said to control the logistics lifeline of these generals, and as a general, who doesn't want to get more food and grass for his army.
Even Meng Ao and Wang Jian are no exception to this point.
So before today came, Mr. Mo had already told Heiyu that he was probably going to have a "heavy hemorrhage" today, because even Mr. Mo didn't have a good way to deal with the rogue tactics of these old guys.
