Seeing this, Xia Yan also understood that Zhuge Liang had no objection.
But as a s prime minister, it would be unsettling if he didn't object.
But we have reached this point, the arrow is on the string and we have to shoot, and we have to move forward all the way.
Facts have proved that even without Zhuge Liang joining in, a group of old men could not defeat Xia Yan.
In fact, Xia Yan needs to take a break every five minutes.
It's not because I'm tired, but because I'm really worried that these old men will die on the spot if something goes wrong.
After all, I am still a civilized person from the 21st century. I came here just hoping to subjugate my country, but I don't want to take a human life.
In the end, after several rounds of fierce arguments, the seven old men were defeated.
Xia Yan also successfully overwhelmed the crowd and finalized this plan.
A group of old men were all blushing and had no choice but to take out Huazi from their arms and start puffing away.
"Oh, your Majesty is still young, and he insists on doing such a big thing. What should I do?"
"Sigh... If this is only a small sum, forget it, but the price of a ship is over a thousand taels of silver. Your Majesty is planning to build thirty ships at once. Isn't this just throwing money into the water?"
"The key is, if you can't defeat him, how can you do this..."
Several people's remarks were spoken out loud without any restraint.
Xia Yan also ignored him as if he hadn't heard anything and directly called him by name.
"Yuan Shangshu."
"Here you are."
"Now I give you a fatal order. You must find me a boat builder within two days, and start work within two days. You must build thirty ships for me within a month. If a merchant group cannot complete it, I will give you a fatal order."
I’ll find a few more, and if you don’t finish it within a month, I’ll fire you from your job!”
"Yuan Shangshu, you don't want to be dismissed directly, right?"
Yuan Liyang's eyes immediately widened when he heard this. He didn't leave any room for this good guy.
You have to start work within two days, and if you don't finish it, you will be dismissed. Who can bear this?
Although I feel sorry for the money from the national treasury, it is still unnecessary if I risk my own life for the money from the national treasury.
"Your Majesty, promise to complete the mission!"
Hearing this, Xia Yan also smiled and said: "Okay, okay, remember that as soon as the other party accepts the order, he will pay me the money immediately. We are a country of integrity and we will never default on money."
"What's the problem!"
Now Xia Yan was satisfied. If he placed an order for thirty ships, he would have to spend at least thirty thousand dollars.
Soon, Xia Yan started his second policy.
"Is the weapons shop that I turned in yesterday open?"
Yuan Liyang nodded, "Yeah."
"Directly turn it into a non-business operation, and then recruit workers like crazy for me, and rush to build 20,000 bows and 20,000 gun shafts. All of them are made of good materials for me. I have a major role."
"By the way, it's still the same. One month, and then find someone to make it for me within two days. All the money will be paid to me within two days. I, Xia Yan, don't want to owe anyone else money!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Yuan Liyang's face.
I thought that this emperor was always ready to spend his money on some reliable places.
Archers and gun handles are the most common services in the army. It is definitely a matter of business to prepare the weapons required by these two services.
But it has to be said that thanks to the little emperor's previous policies, I was able to have the opportunity to order tens of thousands of bows, arrows and spears.
You must know that in the past two hundred years of the Daxia Dynasty, due to lack of money, the number of troops rarely exceeded 10,000, let alone equipment. How could tens of thousands of sets be purchased like this?
Now that I am considered wealthy, I can feel proud when I meet those equipment dealers.
But soon, after calculating slightly in his mind, Yuan Liyang's expression changed slightly.
"Well, Your Majesty, this is not enough..."
"Oh? Isn't it enough?"
"Well, it's really not enough," Yuan Liyang continued while counting his fingers: "Well, our treasury now has less than 65,000 taels. I don't count the salaries of all our officials and military guards.
, excluding the cost of shipbuilding, there are about thirty-five thousand taels left."
"Twenty thousand bows must be equipped with at least one hundred thousand arrows, so twenty-five thousand taels are needed."
"Not to mention the 20,000 taels of spear. You said that the best materials are cold iron and the pear wood of the gun handle. In this way, it will cost another 15,000 taels. We have so many people in the army.
You need to eat, drink and defecate, you can’t see enough.”
Hearing Yuan Liyang's words, Xia Yan blinked his eyes.
"Did you misunderstand somewhere? I mean, 20,000 bows, and 20,000 gun handles, no arrows, no gun heads, do you understand?"
"Fuck, what did you say?!"
Hearing this, Yuan Liyang almost ascended to heaven on the spot.
What kind of buying method is this? I have been in the household department for so many years and I have never seen such a buying method!
A bow without arrows and a gun handle without a spearhead, are you looking for death?
One plays stones and the other makes fire sticks?
“!￥@%#*@(!)!%!)”
"*!...@...!%...@!&%@!￥￥!"
After hearing this, the seven old men stood up, took a deep breath of Huazi, and began to squirt wildly.
"This is simply a foolish move! It will lead to the destruction of the country!"
“That’s not how you spend a lot of money!”
"When you have some money, you think about ruining your family. What you lose is your family, but you, a foolish king, are ruining your country!!"
The group of people talked for a long time without stopping. Apparently, the good impression they had on Xia Yan some time ago disappeared again at this moment.
But Xia Yan reported on his combat effectiveness, directly fighting one against seven and suppressing the seven to death.
In the end, the entire court finally fell silent with Xia Yan's roar.
Xia Yan looked at the others with a stern face and said, "I said, I have my own considerations, you just have to carry it out!"
"You...this..."
Several people were completely speechless. What is going on?
This kind of magical request is really unheard of.
But what was going on with Xia Yan's expression just now?
Looking at him, he looked completely confident.
The original few people still had a lot to say, but after seeing Xia Yan's attitude, they gradually began to doubt themselves.
Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor has a big move, but we, the ministers, are just stupid and don’t understand it?
After calming down a little, several people began to think.
The previous decisions made by His Majesty the Emperor were controversial but they were all great successes. So it seems that the clown is actually me?
All the ministers suddenly stopped talking, but looked at Xia Yan with twinkling eyes, and a thought appeared in their minds.
Otherwise...trust him again?
And Xia Yan didn't bother to explain to them. Only he knew the real reason best.
Yesterday, he analyzed the numerical calculation method of the system in detail.
Among them, military is more often calculated based on the actual increase in combat power.
For example, if you expand your recruitment, it will be a real improvement.
But if you buy some fancy stuff for the army, it won't be improved.
But now I buy a bow for the army but it does not come with arrows, and I buy a gun handle but no tip. There is no doubt that the combat effectiveness will not be improved in any way.
Moreover, after all, I am purchasing armaments for the army, not throwing them directly to the bottom of Lake Tai.
As for not generating combat effectiveness, it was just a mistake in my judgment.
Come to think of it, even if it were the system, there wouldn't be any major flaws, and there would be no evidence to convict me of a foul!
What I am doing now is undoubtedly increasing my chances of succeeding in subjugating my country.
Because of this, Xia Yan tried his best to dissuade each other from the seven old men.
Now it seems that he has successfully frightened them.
No matter how you look at it, you are not too far away from the country's subjugation, so you don't have to worry about being settled for deceiving them.
