Chapter 1391 : Chapter 696: The Squeezed Xun Yu (1)
Chapter 696: Xun Yu was squeezed
That's right, with Liu Feng's various policies, Xudu, and even the entire Yuzhou, are rapidly recovering their strength, and everything is being consolidated. See the entertainment embarrassment picture above
But at the same time, all kinds of expenses flowed to Yuzhou like water, causing the national treasury to dry up in a short period of time.
If it had not been for Xun Yu's support from Shangshu and his efforts to support the country, the entire Han Dynasty's finances would have collapsed.
Xun Yu was also hardworking and diligent.[
But today, Shangshu Ling Xun Yu could no longer bear it. He angrily picked up a bamboo slip, got on a carriage, and headed to the palace.
In the East Palace, Liu Fengzheng and Dong Gai watched the Mo Dao with great interest. This Mo Dao was no longer the rough prototype a few months ago, but a real finished product.
The body of the sword is white, glowing with dazzling light. The handle is black, made of fine iron, with spiral patterns engraved on it. The entire Mo Dao is very heavy. As long as the handle is wrapped with anti-sweat cloth, it can be officially used.
Already.
The Tang Dynasty ruled the roost and the grassland people did not dare to invade. One of the heroes behind the scenes, Mo Dao, was finally born early in the hands of Liu Feng.
"What a knife, what a knife."
Liu Feng stood in front of the sword rest and looked at the Mo Dao. He let out a sound of admiration and was very happy. This was a winning weapon to defeat Cao Cao, sweep the princes, and resist the grassland people.
The advent of this thing may allow the Han Dynasty to dominate the world countless years in advance. Liu Feng was of course beaming with joy.
Dong Gai's face was also full of joy. He had tried this sword himself. It not only looked good, but was also extremely sharp and could cut armor. It was really powerful against the high-speed charging cavalry.
"If there were 12,000 Mo Dao handles, coupled with repeated crossbows, and the strength of the Han soldiers, the power would be unimaginable."
After watching it for a while, Liu Feng sighed.
"That's right." Dong Gai nodded repeatedly. This Mo Dao was to be equipped with Han soldiers, that is, it was given to him. Naturally, the more the better.
"Is it just the financial support?" Dong Gai said hesitantly. Ever since Liu Feng entered Xu, he had followed him. It was not until the establishment of the Han Dynasty that he was responsible for controlling the Han Dynasty. Under daily contact, he also
Know the current financial situation of North Korea and China.
Just now, Liu Feng ordered money to be spent from the treasury for large-scale forging of Mo Dao.
"As long as Shangshu Ling is here, the Han Dynasty cannot collapse." Liu Feng smiled casually when he heard this. Xun Yu was a real talent for the king.
During these days, people with blood-red eyes were stealing money everywhere. Even the palace was already very frugal. Under Xun Yu's arrangement, daily expenses were reduced by another 30%. There were many complaints in the palace. All these things helped to support the finances.
Already.
"Yes." Dong Gai also thought about Xun Yu's power, nodded and said.
However, at this moment, Dong Xi hurriedly walked in from outside.
"General, I'd like to see you, Shangshu Ling." After entering, Dong Xi saluted.
If you really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon. Liu Feng couldn't help but murmur in his heart, and then he nodded and said: "Please come in." [
"Promise." Dong Xi promised, turned around and walked out.
After a while, Xun Yu walked in. Suddenly, Liu Feng felt a wave of anger rushing towards his face.
"Why is Wen Ruo so angry?" Liu Feng asked curiously.
Xun Yu suddenly became angry. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Liu Feng: "May I ask the general, what kind of Mo Dao did you just order the treasury to pay for?"
When Liu Feng heard this, he suddenly understood, and at the same time he was shocked. Could it be that he was really at the end of his rope, and even Xun Yu couldn't hold on anymore?
"Exactly. Is there any difficulty?" Liu Feng said in a deep voice.
"More than just difficulties, there is only the last amount of money left in the treasury. If after all the expenditures, an emergency suddenly occurs, there will be no way to deal with it." There is still money in the treasury, Xun Yu admitted. But it has already been
The last touch. Even an ordinary family needs to have a surplus of food, let alone a country.
Of course Liu Feng also knew this truth and couldn't help but frowned.
Immediately, Liu Feng's eyes lit up and he asked: "Xiangyang, what's the situation in Hanzhong?" Thanks to Liu Biao and Zhang Lu's blessing, Xiangyang and Hanzhong are very rich and should be able to support it.
"Xiangyang and Hanzhong have already been evacuated." Xun Yu heard the bitter smile on his face and shook his head.
Then, in a very resentful tone, he said: "Even if you are as rich as the enemy, you still have to be cautious about squandering it. The general ordered the forging of armor, which cost countless people. We were supposed to gather 12,000 Han warriors, move into the family home, and give them
Land, house, money and food, tax-free for three years. In the end, those who were eliminated
Twenty-six thousand people also had land and were exempted from taxes for one year. They also ordered that countless iron ore mines be collected from various places. In addition, academies were also opened. Countless money and food were spent on various things. Xiangyang, Hanzhong, Liu Biao
, Zhang Lu’s countless years of savings have long been spent.”
"Can't squeeze out even a little bit?" Liu Feng frowned and said.
He also found it difficult. Not only did he have to forge Mo Dao, but he also needed to develop a more sophisticated and time-consuming Zhuge Liannu. The cost was becoming increasingly huge. If there were really none left, how would he build up his Han Martial Soldiers?
ah.
What can I use to resist Cao's cavalry? Fingers? You're kidding.
"Nothing left at all." Xun Yu shook his head helplessly and said.
"What should we do?" Liu Feng was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head in embarrassment and said.
"Then why not continue to reduce expenditures and reduce expenses?" Liu Feng is not an expert in financial management, so the only way he can think of is to reduce expenditures. For example, the number of eunuchs and maids in the palace can be further reduced.
In fact, the enjoyment in the palace is far from enough. The extra parts are just decorations to show the emperor's majesty.
"There is a limit to reducing expenditure. Now we should find ways to increase revenue. This is really beyond the capabilities of the old minister." Xun Yu shook his head when he heard this and said.
"It's not within the capabilities of Shangshu Ling?" Liu Feng was surprised at first, and then he was overjoyed and asked: "How about I recommend someone to Shangshu Ling?"
"Who?" Xun Yu asked after hearing this.
"Prince Xima, the original big businessman Mi Zhu in Xuzhou." Liu Feng said with a smile.[
In the past, Liu Feng kept Mi Zhu because he wanted Mi Zhu to manage the East Palace, but now the East Palace has gradually got on the right track. On the contrary, the court's money seems to be a little nervous. It is just about time to release Mi Zhu.
With the ability of Mi Zhu, a great businessman, whether it is to keep money or to develop.
