In the evening, about 8,000 people from the Jiangzhou Guard Station arrived outside the naval camp first.
At this time, Liu Xia began to interrogate the naval generals.
By early morning the next day, most of the generals had confessed. Looking at the thick stack of confessions, Liu Xia looked heavy.
This is a mere naval camp with less than twenty officials above the third rank, but the number of corrupt officials over the years is outrageous.
"Your Highness, all the confessions are here. Chen Ran is still under interrogation."
Liu Liansheng said with a bit of haggardness and bloodshot eyes.
"Don't read it. Immediately submit these confessions to the Jiangzhou Prosecution and Criminal Division. After summarizing the punishment department, let the emperor convict you. I will allocate you a hundred tiger guards and a thousand Jiangzhou soldiers. From now on, the properties of these officials involved in the case will be confiscated.
.No one will be spared who is implicated. Let them vomit out all they have eaten over the years."
Liu Xia said tiredly.
"As commanded."[
Immediately, Liu Liansheng clasped his fists and left the Chinese army camp.
At this time, Huang Pujie hurriedly entered the big tent, holding a list in his hand and said: "Your Highness, this is the list of promoted generals. Please take a look at it."
Liu Xia took the list and looked at it carefully. The Jiangzhou Navy Camp had lost a number of generals. These vacancies must be filled as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can we start a war with the Nangong family?
"I don't see any problem."
Immediately, Liu Xia took out his seal, stamped it, and handed it to Huang Pujie.
"The navy camp will be handed over to you. I will raise money in the past few days. I hope that when I come back, I will see a different scene."
Liu Xia stood up and said.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best."
Huang Pujie bowed his waist and said.
"Then according to your opinion, how much silver is needed for this navy to defeat the Nangong family navy?"
Liu Xia asked.
"Back to Your Highness, the most serious problem in the Navy at present is corruption. According to Wei Chen's investigation, the foundation of the Navy is still there. The remaining veterans still have certain combat experience. If there is enough money, some can be recalled.
The biggest expense for retired veterans is the repair of ships and the equipment of soldiers. Wei Chen feels that it is probably this amount."
At this time, Huang Pujie stretched out four fingers
"Forty million taels of silver?"
Liu Xia was stunned and said.[
"Only less. There is no inventory of the current soldiers. The available equipment is probably not enough to equip 20,000 people. The rest are imitations. Counting the current number of soldiers and the recruitment of 20,000 people.
Only one-third of the cost of equipment is spent. The rest is the repair of warships. Currently, there are only more than a hundred warships available.
If we want to start a war with the Nangong family, we need at least 150 ships here. Wei Chen went to take stock last night in person. The number of ships that can be repaired and put into use in a short period of time is probably this number. In addition, this number is
, as well as decommissioning a number of warships and adding some fresh blood. This number is not too much."
Huang Pujie smiled awkwardly.
"I know it well."
Liu Xia took a deep breath and said.
Liu Xia initially estimated that 20 million taels would be enough. After all, Liu Xia still had a small treasury of his own, and he could take out three to four million taels. Then, after searching the properties of these corrupt officials, he could collect ten million taels. How many millions were left?
The gap is much easier. Now it seems that the gap is much more than that.
"Your Highness, we can't delay this money. Otherwise, I would be too determined."
Huang Pujie gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't worry about money. Just do your own thing. How much money is left in the funds allocated by the court this year?"
Liu Xia asked.
"There are about seven to eight hundred thousand taels left."
Huang Pujie said.
"You can use this money first. I promise to send you the first batch of silver in five days."
Liu Xia gritted his teeth and said.
"Then I'm relieved, veteran. Does your Highness have any other instructions?"
Huang Pujie asked.
"No more, please step back."
Liu Xia waved his hand and said.
As soon as Huang Pujie left, Liu Xia shouted: "Let Liu Liansheng come to my place immediately."
After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Liansheng, who was ready to set off, returned to the tent. When he saw Liu Xia, he hurriedly asked: "What else does His Highness summon me for?"
"Notify the Metropolitan Procuratorate that all corrupt officials of the navy involved in the case will be handed over to them for interrogation. This time, not only will I have to make them spit out what they have eaten, but I will also make them spit out what they have digested."
Liu Xia gritted his teeth and said.
Liu Liansheng was shocked and understood that Liu Xia was really short of money this time, and the gap was still huge.
Originally we were just planning to seize the assets of these corrupt officials, but now we are going to start arresting these corrupt officials as well as their subordinates.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I understand what you mean."
"Well, step back."
After Liu Liansheng went out, Liu Xia headed towards Caiwei's room.
After entering the room, Caiwei smiled and said, "Brother, why are you free today?"
"Ask Master something."
Liu Xia smiled awkwardly.
"Boy, what trouble have you encountered again?"
Ao Cangqiong immediately smiled.
"It's quite troublesome. Do you know the formula of this Qiankun bag?"
Liu Xia asked.
"Qiankun bag? Of course I know. How do you ask this in such a polite way?"
Ao Cangqiong asked.
So Liu Xia told what happened.
After hearing this, Ao Cangqiong couldn't help laughing and said: "That's it. It's just that making this Qiankun Bag is very complicated. If you are not afraid of trouble, I will teach it to you. To put it bluntly, this Qiankun Bag is just a seal.
kind."
Having said this, Ao Cangqiong stretched out his hand and pointed, and immediately a red ball of light came out from Ao Cangqiong's fingertips and entered Liu Xia's Yintang.
Immediately, the entire manufacturing process of Qiankun Bag appeared in Liu Xia's mind.
Liu Xia sat there cross-legged, closed her eyes and studied it carefully, then stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first."
After saying that, he ran out as fast as he could.
"Huh, I'm crazy all day long. I didn't even say a word when I arrived and then I left."
Caiwei muttered in frustration.
"Hey, someone is not satisfied. If I were you, I would muster up the courage to ask him when will you marry me."
Ao Cangqiong sighed softly and said.
"Tsk, who said I was going to marry him."
Immediately, Caiwei's pretty face turned red, she sat cross-legged and started practicing.
After Liu Xia returned to the Chinese army's tent, he couldn't wait to start making the Qiankun bag.
Qiankun bags are also divided into grades.
The higher the level of the Qiankun Bag, the more things it can hold.
Of course, it is also more complicated to make.
An ordinary Qiankun bag can hold hundreds of kilograms of things and is relatively simple to make.
Later, Liu Xia ordered people to purchase materials. By the afternoon, the Chinese army's tent was as piled with garbage as a grocery store.
Making a Qiankun bag does not require any particularly expensive materials, the difficulty lies in space restrictions.
This sealing method has been lost, but fortunately Ao Cangqiong knows about it.
In just a few moments, Liu Xia had made a fur and started pouring seals into it.
This is not difficult for Onmyoji.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a simple Qiankun bag was completed. Although it looked very crude, it already had the effect of the Qiankun bag.
"Tong Dawei!"
"The humble job is here."
At this time, Tong Dawei entered the room and said.
At this time, Liu Xia picked up the pen and began to draw a small sample on the table.
Then he handed it to Tong Dawei and said: "Go to Jiangzhou, find the best cobbler, and make a thousand of them for me like this. The speed is fast, I will have them tomorrow."
Liu Xia said.
Tong Dawei didn't know what Liu Xia wanted with these bags. These bags looked like they were only about the size of a palm and could only hold a fist.
It didn't look good even as a decoration, but I didn't dare to ask, so I turned around and left the room.
At this time, Liu Xia began to study the larger Qiankun Bag.
Unknowingly, he said that early the next morning, Liu Xia could already make a Qiankun bag that could hold seventy or eighty tons.
The Qiankun bag he brought from the tomb of King Wei had a capacity much larger than this, but he had no time to continue studying it now.
At this time, Tong Dawei had already arrived in the room, clasping his fists and saying: "Your Highness, I have dared to make everything you asked for. I found dozens of leather goods shops in Jiangzhou and worked all night long to make it."
Immediately, Tong Dawei gave Liu Xia a sample.
Liu Xia took a look and saw that the leather of the bag was made of fine earth spirit animal skin. Although it looked simple, as long as it could be made into a Qiankun bag and then decorated, it could be made by others.
He only needs to be responsible for the core process.
"Okay, you bring all the bags in and give the order not to let anyone in."
Liu Xia smiled.
"As commanded."
Tong Dawei immediately turned around and went out.
At this time, Liu Xia began to pour space restrictions into those leather bags. Practice makes perfect, and now Liu Xia is becoming more and more proficient.
In most of the morning, more than 500 were made.
In the afternoon, Liu Xia asked Tong Dawei to customize a batch of bags.
Simply capture Caiwei as a young man and work with him together.
With the help of Ao Cangqiong, the first batch of 1,500 Qiankun bags was completed within two days.
Looking at the Qiankun bags piled up in the room, Liu Xia smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
Two thousand taels of silver for a Qiankun bag should be more than enough.
If 10,000 of them are made within half a month, the naval base's military expenses will be secured.
In the end, there was only one thing left, and that was to find someone to buy these Qiankun bags.
After much thought, Liu Xia thought of Bai Rongxuan.
Bai Rongxuan has always wanted to find a chance to make amends because he almost died. Now it seems that the time has come.
Immediately, Liu Xia began to write letters to Bai Rongxuan at his desk.
Then someone sent the letter out, and then asked Tong Dawei to find a craftsman, this time to make a higher-grade Qiankun bag.
Naturally, the leather cannot be ordinary leather, but scale leather that is very strong and can withstand the destructive power of the Grandmaster.
This kind of leather is the toughest part of the scale beast's back. After dozens of days of production and spiritual blessing, a piece of leather the size of a palm costs more than five hundred taels.
When the scale skin is decorated with gold threads, gems and other things, just by looking at it, it already has a selling point.
And if it can hold more things than ordinary ones, it shouldn't be a problem to sell it to those rich people on the Dragon Soul Continent.
Such a Qiankun bag would cost him three to four thousand taels. Thinking of this, Liu Xia's face was full of smiles.
