In the study, Zhang Lang looked carefully at the report submitted by Huang Yueying. This is Huang Yueying's report on the current economic situation. At present, the total tax provided by several major territories in Zhang Lang cannot support all the expenses of the government and the army, and there is a deficit of about 120 million yuan. Despite this, Zhang Lang's finances cannot have problems in a short period of time. There are still some assets left after obtaining from Dong Zhuomeiwu before, and recently, more than 2 billion yuan of assets have been collected from the hands of several major gentry in Xichuan. Even if there is no income, there will be no problems in the accumulation in front of the screen within a few years. However, if a war or a large-scale natural disaster occurs, the current accumulation may be consumed quickly.

Zhang Lang put down the report and laughed: "Okay! We don't have to worry about financial issues in the past few years! We have enough money and food!"

Huang Yueying was not so optimistic: "If there were several wars, there would probably be much left in these accumulations. The recent war almost exhausted Meiwu's assets!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, at worst, just copy a few more gentry families!"

Everyone laughed. Huang Yueying said angrily: "How can the lord say this? If such words are spread to the people, they may cause unnecessary unrest!"

Zhang Lang uh, and hurriedly said, "Yueying taught her right lesson, it was me who was wrong!"

Huang Yueying analyzed: "The State Department has just been established in Xichuan. I estimate that there will be a steady stream of profits entering the treasury soon; the Western Regions Trade Road has been opened, and it will be confident that this trade road will bring continuous returns. A year later, our political participation deficit should disappear, but it is difficult to get much wealth. I think the most important thing at the moment is to encourage the people to reclaim wasteland, and at the same time increase the number of military garrisons and official fields, and build new water conservancy. Only in this way can we really increase our money and grain! In addition, trade should also be encouraged. I think the most important thing is to reduce tariffs on various passes within our sphere of influence."

Cai Yong frowned and said, "Will this reduce income?" Cai Yong and Cai Yan were originally staying in Chang'an, but Zhang Lang transferred to Luoyang by living there, and Luoyang is short of staff.

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "This is indeed the case in the short term, but in the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages! First of all, trade will inevitably increase significantly, as is the current situation. In this way, the operating tax we can receive will rise higher; secondly, due to the reduction of tariffs, the prices of goods will inevitably decline. In this way, the people are more willing to spend money, which indirectly prospers the market. With a prosperous market, we will only receive more and more taxes!"

Cai Yong nodded and said with admiration: "Ms. Huang is really far-sighted!"

Huang Yueying said modestly: "My elder is over-reward!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said to Huang Yueying: "Since this policy was proposed by Yueying, then you can implement it in detail." Huang Yueying agreed with his fists.

Zhang Lang picked up another report and read it. This report was submitted by Jia Xu, who was in Chang'an, and it was a suggestion on the allocation plan of major legions. Jia Xu suggested in the report: Longtao Legion, Luoyang Legion was arranged in Luoyang; although Bingzhou is a newly-regulated land, given that the surrounding threats were temporarily eliminated, only one Yingyang Legion could be arranged. When necessary, the troops from Luoyang and Guanzhong could go north to support Bingzhou. In addition, in order to strengthen Bingzhou's defense capabilities, a large-scale chronological army can be under the jurisdiction of the governor's office, with the main responsibility in defense and suppression of bandits; Guanzhong is located in the land of revival in our side, although there is no power around.

The threat is not uncommon, but it must be cautious. Therefore, the War Bear Legion should continue to stay in Chang'an area, to ensure the absolute safety of our army's foundation, and to advance westward to assist the Western Regions Legion to fight when necessary; the Western Regions, there is currently no major threat, so it is enough to retain a Western Region Legion; Xichuan relies on the barbarian army, and to retain a Leopard Guard; Hanzhong is strategically rushing, connecting Xichuan to the south and Luoyang to Guanzhong to the north, so heavy troops should be stationed here, to ensure safety, and to help all places at any time, Canglang Army, Pingnan Army, and Tiger Wing Army stationed here, which can take on important responsibilities. In addition, subordinates suggest that another cavalry legion be formed as a mobile combat force.

Zhang Lang picked up the report and handed it to Huang Yueying, "This is Wenhe's military deployment suggestions, let's take a look."

Huang Yueying stepped forward, took the report with both hands, looked carefully from beginning to end, returned the report to Zhang Lang, and smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Wenhe is far-sighted, and this suggestion is very good! Just..."

"Just what?" Zhang Lang asked with a smile.

Huang Yueying frowned and said, "It's just a cavalry corps. Although there is no problem with finance, it..." Then he clasped his fists and said, "Although the financial burden has increased considerable financially, it is indeed necessary in terms of the current situation!"

Zhang Lang thought, "This new cavalry is called the Cavalry Army, and the general is temporarily designated as Huang Zhong." He glanced at everyone, "Do you have any opinions?" Everyone expressed no opinions.

"Since everyone has no objection, I will send an order to the recruitment department to expand the scale of the recruitment and transfer 100,000 horses from various places to Luoyang, and immediately send an order to Huang Zhong."

Everyone agreed with their fists.

When Huang Zhong received the news that he was appointed as the commander of the Cavalry Army, he was stunned and then showed excitement, respectfully bowing down to the next order.

At the same time, Cao Cao in the east had stopped attacking Gongsun Du and the remnants of the two Yuans. The army retreated to Jizhou and began to rectify internal affairs and digest the fruits of victory. Unlike Zhang Lang's previous expectations, Cao Cao did not surrender on a large scale, but only guessed the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. His total force reached an unprecedented one.3 million, occupying Yanzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Youzhou, and Yuzhou. Today, Cao Cao has undoubtedly become the most powerful prince in the world. His forces have almost half of the population in the world, and most of the money and food are also in the hands of Cao Cao.

That morning, Cao Cao rode a horse to a military camp outside Jizhou surrounded by people. At this time, the training in the military camp was in full swing. Cao Cao was led by Xiahou Dun to the outside of the school ground. Looking up, he saw nearly a thousand strong soldiers practicing fighting skills with bare shirtless, roaring like thunder and like tigers, which was different from other troops.

Cao Cao showed a look of surprise and quickly asked Xiahou Dun: "Is this the training result?"

Xiahou Dun said excitedly: "Training the three thousand soldiers according to the method of the lord and the military advisor, the effect is amazing after two months!"
