Chapter seven hundred and ninety-eight national strength level
One hundred thousand gold!"
Hearing this number, Zhou Qing was also slightly startled unconsciously.
In recent years, although Guanzhong has been prosperous, there have been no major disasters in the two counties of Bashu and Bashu. Therefore, the government's income has gradually increased. At the beginning of the year, Datian Ling said at the court meeting that last year a total of 110 million shi of grain was received.
Even if there are other goods, they are converted into grain levels.
According to the current currency value, one gold is equal to twenty-four baht, and one stone of grain is worth about two hundred baht. Therefore, in total, the value of grain in the entire country is about nine million gold.
Is it a lot?
Not much.
The Lantian camp is now only in training status, and it costs more than half a million gold a year. In addition, the Jiuyuan camp, the camp outside the customs, is directly under the jurisdiction of the government. In total, the three camps spend one
Millions or more.
If it really enters the stage of war, it will really double.
In addition, the state of Zheng is now in charge of major economic affairs. It is currently developing water conservancy in Guanzhong and deploying agricultural work in major counties and counties of Qin. The annual expenditure is millions of gold.
In addition, the expenditure of the pedestrian station in recent years, the investment of hundreds of thousands of gold by the Shandong countries every year, these are all necessary.
In addition, the annual income of national government officials and major county and county officials is also a considerable expense.
In this way, if all the miscellaneous things are added up, anything exceeding 10,000 gold is considered a huge expenditure. A National Protectorate Academy takes up 100,000 gold. Zhou Qing can even imagine the look on Zheng Guo's face.
"This is a big number."
After thinking about all these things, Zhou Qing was quite impressed.
"Fortunately, the Academy is now on the right track, and the next expenses will gradually stabilize. Even if it is too much, it will not be too much."
As a senior general at that time, Huan Jue also knew the value of one hundred thousand gold. It was a financial resource that could arm an army of one hundred thousand. Now, it only fell within the academy.
"It's not a good thing that spending is leveling off."
"Although the expenses of the Academy are huge, it is not without the ability to create property. Take the Military Academy as an example. In the future, we can inform the major military camps of the Qin State. If there is a need for specialized weapons, we can spend money to ask the Military Academy
Developed by Tang Tang.”
"The same goes for the major military camps of the Qin State. If you are willing to spend money, then all the classics in the academy and the martial arts hall can be used. Of course, there must be a regulation on how to use them."
"There is always a way!"
Zhou Qing shook his head. Saving money is not enough. Everything in the National Protectorate Academy is to spend a lot of money and provide training at any cost. Don't be afraid of losses, don't be afraid of the losses of food, and don't be afraid of the losses of developing weapons.
If money becomes a burden to the National Defense Academy, it will be very detrimental to the development of the academy.
"This... seems to work."
When Huan Jue heard this, he quickly considered it again, and then his face showed admiration.
Marquis Wu Zhen must be able to win the King's favor because of his abilities. Now, in a few words, he has some good strategies, and they are all feasible, although the gains may be limited.
But it is an example. If you start with this, you can open source it later, and the academy can also create value, and you can save money in the future. It depends on the face of the government.
"For money matters, the Xuegong Cheng needs to appoint a special person and must not be scornful."
"Once someone is found who dares to embezzle money, he will be executed directly, even if he joins three clans. I will not allow such things to happen in the academy, not now, and not in the future."
"After I return from this trip, I will discuss with the Order of Datian and send a special person to review the accounts of the Academy every year. You should keep this in mind."
When it came to money matters, Zhou Qing thought of another thing.
I can't control other places, but this kind of behavior is absolutely not allowed in the academy. Once discovered, I will never tolerate it. My words are a little high and my expression is cold.
The affairs of the academy are related to the foundation of the country. It is a place to train military officers. If there are those bad habits, the impact will be serious.
"Please rest assured, Marquis Wu Zhen, even if Marquis Wu Zhen doesn't say anything, Huanjue will not allow those behaviors to appear in the academy!"
In an instant, everyone's hearts were filled with enthusiasm and their expressions were straight.
Huan Jue stepped forward and bowed deeply, taking the lead in expressing his stance.
He was originally a defeated general, but fortunately he had Marquis Wu Zhen as his guarantor, and he was worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Academy. If the Academy students shine in the future, then he will also have great achievements.
And if Marquis Wu Zhen discovers such behavior in the academy, he is afraid that not only will he be in trouble, but many doctoral students in the entire academy will be robbed.
"I can rest assured about you."
"Tonight you will discuss a regulation. Tomorrow we will inspect other halls of the academy to find out all the problems, solve them together, and then formulate corresponding countermeasures."
Zhou Qing nodded.
Regarding Huanjue, I was still relieved. Except for the first year when I spent more time in the academy, in the past two years, most of the things in the academy were done by Huanjue, and there were basically no mistakes.
There were also many correspondences with him, and he also had unique insights into the academy.
Now three years are about to pass. Next year, maybe Huanjie will have to offer wine to the real academy. Maybe even if he doesn't offer wine, there will be no other purpose in the academy, except for himself.
No one can do it better than Huan Jue.
"yes."
"..."
Everyone looked at each other again and nodded to Marquis Wu Zhen.
******
"Brother, Xiakui sent a secret order."
"If we are absolutely sure to rescue the six elders, we can take action. Otherwise, we will return to Chu State immediately and will not stay in Qin State."
"What do we do?"
In the inner hall of an ordinary shop in Xianyang Nancheng, the three heads of the Nong family gathered here. There were also many other disciples of the Nong family around. In order to save the six elders of the Nong family, the Nong family sent out a huge force.
After reading the document in his hand, Tian Hu's loud voice was a little anxious. He said, if you are not sure, you will withdraw from the Qin State, otherwise, you will save the six elders.
This...has caused some loss of loyalty to the six elders.
"Xia Kui's words are not unreasonable."
"Although Xuan Qingzi has left Xianyang, more and more soldiers have gathered in the prison in the north city of Xianyang. They are all elite soldiers of the Qin State. At this moment, hundreds of our peasant disciples have gathered here in Xianyang. I am afraid that they have already
Caught in a snare."
"Sure enough, we are on guard. It's hard for us to take action."
For Xu Xu, a dignified mask on his face, he had read the document himself. It was just for Xia Kui's safety. Xianyang had a strong defense and attack power against Baijia.
There are also Tianzi first-class killers at the level of gods in the net. If the six elders cannot be rescued quickly, then taking action hastily will only cause great losses to the farmers.
The key is, there may not be any gains yet.
"Zhu family, so you don't plan to save the elders?"
Hearing this sound, Tian Hu was immediately dissatisfied. His voice was already loud, but now it was even louder, and he glared at each other.
"Brother Tian Hu, there is no need to be angry. The Zhu family is just discussing the matter."
"One of the six elders is from Shennong Hall. How could the Zhu family forget their words of loyalty? The reason why Xuan Qingzi did not execute the six elders in Longxi was to kill the six elders in Xianyang and shock him.
Farmers, shocking hundreds of families."
"The guards of the six elders must be extremely tight. Although we now know all the structures in the prison, as long as there is any instability, it will cause great damage."
"That is irresponsible to the entire farm family."
Looking at Tian Hu, the Zhu family's masks changed to a festive look, not caring at all. With Tian Meng around, Tian Hu's words didn't mean anything. The key was how Tian Meng made his choice.
Should he continue to harm the peasant disciples, or should he follow the advice of the hero and return to Chu.
"Farmers are never afraid of any enemy."
"The Zhu family, since we have arrived in Xianyang, we have to give it a try no matter what."
"However, what Xiakui said is true, so I am planning to take action tonight in case Xuan Qingzi returns soon."
Tian Meng also frowned. What his second brother said was not unreasonable, but the Zhu family said the same thing. If we go further, the farmer's family might suffer a lot of damage. If we take a step back, we are unwilling to do so.
After thinking about it, I decided to give it a try.
What if the six elders are rescued?
"Tian Meng!"
"There is only one entrance to the National Prison. Unless Ying Zheng comes in person, Xuan Qingzi will also have to leave a mark on the documents and conduct checks at all levels. Previously, we wanted to open a tunnel to go there, but it was difficult for people from the Mo family to participate in the design of the National Prison.
enter."
"Even if you disguise yourself, you will be discovered quickly."
"You...really want to do this?"
The Zhu family's expressions instantly turned dull. They originally thought that Tian Meng would listen to the words of the hero, but now it seems that they still have to give it a try.
The heavy voice fell. They had already conducted many deductions on how to rescue the six elders, but the success was not high.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have waited until now to take action.
Tian Meng's rash action will only cause greater damage to the farmer's family.
"Save the six elders, but you, Shennongtang, are not willing to help?"
Tian Meng stood up from behind the desk and glanced at the Zhu family.
"We, Shennongtang, are naturally willing to contribute, but we are not willing to risk our lives to do so."
The Zhu family also stood up, and despite the greater height difference between them, they still retorted.
"Since you are willing to help, let's take action tonight."
Tian Meng didn't give the Zhu family much chance to think about it, just those words would be enough.
If the Zhu family holds back this time, they don't know how to face the disciples from Shennong Hall.
"Zhu family, if you are afraid of death, there is no need to do anything tonight."
Tian Hu also stood up, looked at the slightly angry look on the old boy of the Zhu family, and snorted coldly.
"Knowing that you cannot do something but doing it is irresponsible to the peasant disciples."
"The Shennong Hall will take action, but at this time the Zhu family will also inform the entire Shennong Hall and let the disciples make their own decisions."
He glanced at Tian Hu and didn't pay much attention. If he took action tonight, he would most likely be suppressed by Qin's powerful force and end up dead. That was not what he wanted to see.
Disciples from farmers should not have to pay such a price.
Otherwise, Xiakui would not have come here to give this secret order, and he would not take action unless he was absolutely sure.
