Chapter 713

After Liu Yi finished speaking, he let out a long breath, and the generals immediately looked expectantly at Shang Ji.

If the army is reorganized according to this plan, although the total strength of the army is still 7 million, the overall combat power is at least twice as strong as before!

"Brother, have you estimated the required expenses?" Shang Ji Zou asked with a frown.

"Forget it!" Liu Yi nodded earnestly, and then continued: "According to the plan mentioned by the general, it will cost about 500 million gold to make up for the shortage of the army and form an army of corresponding standards, and the maintenance cost of the army every year It should be around 200 million gold!"

"impossible!"

Before Liu Yi finished speaking, Deng Yan immediately stood up and yelled.

Chao Liu Yi and Shang Ji cupped their hands respectively, and Deng Yan said: "My annual income in Pingzhou has just exceeded 200 million gold this year. How will we maintain the army in this way in the future? It is impossible to spend all the financial income on military expenses for a year!"

"Don't worry, we still have a strategic reserve of about 4 billion yuan, so it's no problem to do it like this!"

Hearing Deng Yan's intention to object, Su Huan immediately got a little anxious, and quickly got up and said.

"Hmph, those who don't plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a while; those who don't plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region. There is a fixed amount of money. If it goes on like this, even if there are no problems in three to five years, it will be fine after a long time." Row?"

"You can't say that. As far as I know, when my lord first settled in Pingzhou, the financial revenue of the entire Pingzhou was only more than 60 million gold. Now, in just two or three years, the financial revenue has already doubled." Three times. Don't worry about it. In less than three years, my annual income in Pingzhou will exceed 500 million gold. I will use 200 million for military expenditures, and the remaining 300 million will be invested in the further development of Pingzhou. Wouldn't it be wonderful? ?”

"absurd!"

Deng Yan seemed very angry, and retorted Su Huan unceremoniously: "The premise of triple the annual revenue of Pingzhou is that we have invested more than one billion yuan in the development of Pingzhou. Guarantee a rapid increase in annual income?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, there are four billion gold..."

When he was talking just now, Su Huan suddenly got stuck. All the generals in the army glared at him, while the civil servants headed by Deng Yan looked at him with smiles on their faces.

"What General Yanchen said is true. All four billion gold will be invested in the development of Pingzhou. I guarantee that next year's annual income will even exceed 800 million gold!"

"No, this subordinate doesn't mean that, please don't misunderstand!"

Su Huan didn't know that he was being tricked by Deng Yan, so he quickly stood up and explained. However, the purpose of Shang Ji is to invest most of the funds in the development of Pingzhou. How can he let go of this good opportunity? Immediately he made a decision and said: "What Yan Chen said is right. Consolidating oneself is the most important thing now. For the sake of long-term planning, I think it is better to invest this money in the development of Pingzhou!"

"My lord!"

"My lord, think twice!"

"My lord, please think twice!"

……………………

As soon as this remark came out,

All the generals were horrified, and they stood up one after another to persuade them.

"My lord, the government is the flesh and blood of Pingzhou, but the soldiers are the bones of Pingzhou. Without a large army to deter those who have evil intentions, how can we talk about the development of Pingzhou? Once Xiaoxiao invades, how can Pingzhou be prosperous under the smoke of war? Please also, my lord Think twice!!"

As the leader of the military, Liu Yi naturally wouldn't sit still, so he got up immediately and said.

"What brother said is right!"

Shang Ji pretended to ponder for a while, then nodded slowly and said: "This general was negligent, it seems that both the military and the government cannot do without each other!"

"Well, I will be the master. The planning of the Pingzhou Army is mainly based on my brother's proposal. Four million soldiers of all special arms will cooperate with three million guards to protect the peace of Pingzhou. As for military expenses, The 500 million reorganization fee will be allocated in full at one time, and another 500 million gold will be set aside as a reserve, which will be kept by the general himself and earmarked for the maintenance and training of the Pingzhou Army."

After a pause, Shang Ji continued: "In addition, everyone must know that there will be a foreign war (national war) that attracts worldwide attention in half a year. The general has decided to participate in the war with all his strength. Therefore, one billion gold needs to be reserved in advance as a reserve for participating in the war. Gold, and the rest will be all transferred to the development of Pingzhou, and all aspects of medicine, culture, education, population, agriculture and mulberry will be raised to the level of prosperous counties in the mainland at the fastest speed. Do you have any objections to this?"

"I wait for no objection!"

The military general, who was already a little panicked, heard that there was still a total of one billion gold in military expenses, so he immediately bowed and said without daring to procrastinate.

It's just that there was a strange look in Su Huan's eyes when he bowed. He, Su Huan, could become the leader of the elder faction, so naturally he wouldn't be tricked so easily. All of this is a trick in itself!

"Okay, the matter of the army is over for now. Let's listen to Biejia's introduction to the development of Pingzhou in the past two years!"

Deng Yan smiled slightly, got up and said: "Although our three-year plan is still a year away, under the wise leadership of the lord, all colleagues work together, and with the hard work of hundreds of millions of people in Pingzhou, our Pingzhou has already advanced The task was overfulfilled in one year!"

"First of all, in terms of population, after persistently encouraging immigration and childbirth, the current total population of our Pingzhou is 312 million, which is 100% overfulfilled (covering the original Koguryo population, but excluding the grasslands)!

Secondly, in terms of grain production, our Pingzhou has a huge area, and the land area available for reclamation is extremely vast, and the prospects for agricultural development are very promising. In the past two years, the environment in Pingzhou is peaceful and stable, and it is also very suitable for agricultural development. With the help of the farm children headed by Master Nong, the total grain output of our Pingzhou has successfully exceeded 3 billion shi. With the increasingly prosperous fishing industry, our Pingzhou Basically achieve food self-sufficiency.

However, following the surrender of Xianbei, in order to alleviate the famine in the grassland, we allocated a large amount of food to the grassland. At present, we still need to rely on external supply for food.

However, there is still a lot of room for development in Pingzhou's agriculture, and in the next six months we will be in a state of double blessings, and the efficiency of food production will be greatly improved. It is hoped that we can take this opportunity to completely get rid of our dependence on external food. It can even be reversed to sell food on a large scale. "

Hearing that the food security problem is expected to be completely solved, Shang Ji couldn't help smiling.

The food problem has always been a shortcoming in Pingzhou, but fortunately, there are peasant children such as Nonghe who have contributed. The farmers' children brought not only high-yield seeds, but also very clever planting techniques, and Pingzhou has a very large area. The combination of the two will solve the biggest food problem for other forces in this way!

In troubled times, food and grass are sometimes even more valuable than soldiers and horses, and using food as a sword is also a clever foreign route.

Smiling and nodding, he signaled Deng Yan to continue.

"In terms of culture and education, we have built one top-level academy in the city, ten high-level academies, more than 70 intermediate-level academies, and more than 600 junior-level academies. There are more than 15,000 private schools and elementary schools at all levels, 50% of which have been completed Task. However, the time is too short to see obvious results for the time being. It is estimated that the first batch of qualified scribes trained in Pingzhou will be able to leave the academy in the second half of this year, with a total size of about 2,000 people!"

Shang Ji pondered for a moment, thought about Sirius Sacrifice and the five Taoists, and couldn't help saying: "It is necessary to expand investment in culture and education. Pingzhou needs at least two top-level academies, and the high-level academies will be expanded to sixteen. There are two giant cities. I demand that after two years, Pingzhou must cultivate 10,000 qualified scribes every year!"

Yan Xie, who was in charge of culture and education, got up immediately: "My lord, the expansion of high-level academies is not difficult, as long as the funds are in place. But the top-level academies are not that simple. Top-level academies must have top-level celebrities, and at least two. We can build The establishment of Xiangping Academy depends entirely on the support of the prince and Guan Gong, and the expansion of another school may fail!"

"It's okay, there are many famous people in the world. Those who are famous are lured by fame, and those who are interested in profit are driven away. No one is perfect! In addition, Guan Gong and Wang Gong have a lot of friends, so you can invite them to invite them , I can also come forward to cooperate when necessary!"

"The subordinate takes the order, and he will definitely live up to the lord's expectations!" Shang Ji said so, Yan Xie, as a subordinate, can only guarantee to complete the task.

Deng Yan continued: "In terms of Chidao, we have also overfulfilled the plan, and have built Chidao running through the five counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Xuantu, Lelang, and Changli. However, because the original Goguryeo was not included in the first three-year plan It is under planning, so there is no large-scale construction of Chidao yet.

Another key project, the Wancun Project, is also developing smoothly. So far, we have built more than 18,000 villages, of which 2,200 were built by us alone, 13,000 were built by our side and other people, and the remaining 2,000 were built by other people. independent construction. These villages are mainly distributed in the Corridor of West Liao, the south of Liaodong, and the old place of Koguryo. More than 70% of the villages have a good development momentum and have already started to make a profit or will soon make a profit. "

"In terms of finances, as I have just said, our Pingzhou's annual revenue has just exceeded the 200 million gold mark, and the current annual revenue is 208 million gold. However, in addition to the annual revenue, our Pingzhou's foreign trade is very profitable. Lingmi, pearl rice, elixir, horses, armor, fur, weapons and other Pingzhou's flagship products have considerable profits. In the first half of this year, the trade profit was 80 million gold, and the development momentum is good. It is expected that the total trade profit for the whole year is expected to break through One hundred and eighty million gold!"

The generals in Pingzhou immediately stared round their eyes, and looked at Deng Yan with murderous eyes.

Just now he kept saying that Pingzhou's annual income is only 200 million gold, but he still has 180 million in trade income. All in all, Pingzhou's total annual disposable finance is close to 400 million gold!

In fact, Deng Yan didn't say anything. In Pingzhou's official foreign trade, Shang Ji himself made a lot of money. Take the elixir with the largest profit and the highest sales as an example. Pingzhou officials purchased pills at prices lower than the market in the alchemy workshop controlled by the Liu family, and then resold them to players, rangers, or other princes.

The purchase price was far lower than the market price, and Pingzhou's official profit was very considerable, but the real profit was taken away by the Liu family. The specific profit share is about three to one. Liu's three, Pingzhou one!

This money is different from the five billion gold that Pingzhou taxed or plundered by the army. This money belongs to the private money of Shang Ji and the Liu family. Although Shangji often used this money to fill Pingzhou's fiscal deficit, and it was also the money used by Shangji to reward the soldiers who went out for the expedition, but it did not change the nature of this is private property.

In other words, the Liu family controls hundreds of millions of private funds, and can be regarded as one of the wealthiest women in China. This is also the reason why the Liu family didn't need to ask Shang Ji or Deng Yan for money before forming Fengwuwei. The amount of funds she controlled even exceeded the treasury of Pingzhou!
