"My lord, the initial financial capital of our territory is more than 700 million. The total income of the territory this month is 2 billion, of which 1 billion is handed over to the master. In terms of expenditure, there are 300 million wages for tenant farmers and 15 million wages for the army. About 500 million yuan was used to purchase territorial floating vehicles and patrol boats and to replace military equipment. The salaries of retainers totaled 12 million. However, due to insufficient funds, only the public facilities and infrastructure in the capital and very few areas were remodeled. It cost about 800 million copies, and we only have about 100 million financial funds left." Following Yuna's words, these data also appeared in the sky.
Originally, the people and retainers were very excited when they heard that they had an income of 2 billion a month, because it used to be a few hundred million at most. I didn't expect that the new lord would double the funds several times. But the amount of funds to be spent next made them terrified, and the 1.7 billion was gone all of a sudden.
The people did not complain about Tang Long's wasting money, because Tang Long's money was used to increase people's income and improve infrastructure. Those vassals didn't even know it. They didn't expect the lord to be willing to spend so much money on construction, and they didn't expect the lord to buy a special floating car for themselves. In the past, those lords tried their best to think about how to make money, unlike the current lords who think about how to improve the life below.
Tang Long wondered why Yuna was so stingy with money, didn't he give her 500 billion? Seeing that Yuna can make such a big change in the territory with only the original funds of the territory, if the 500 billion is used, wouldn't it be possible to turn this place into a metropolis? But why doesn't she use it? But although Tang Long felt strange, he also knew that Yuna had a reason for doing this, so he didn't ask here, and planned to ask after the meeting.
After Yuna finished her report, she looked at Tang Long carefully, fearing that he would say something about 500 billion in a hurry. I really regretted why I had to worry about those retainers. After seeing Tang Long, I directly dragged him to the secret place, and told him what I thought. Uneasy Yuna couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when she saw that Tang Long was only nodding to herself thoughtfully. It seemed that Tang Long also guessed that there must be some meaning in what she did.
After Yuna's report, Elsie, Ling Li, and Sally reported their own situation respectively, nothing more than talking about demolishing and rebuilding some houses, replanning where they can be rebuilt at any time, and finishing the reorganization of the army And start effective training and other discourse. But these few people all said at the end of their speech without exception: If there is a fund of more than 1 billion, these projects can be built, and the army can be replaced with better equipment to enhance combat effectiveness.
Although Tang Long didn't like to think about these issues, he was not an idiot either. From the words and deeds of his main subordinates, Tang Long found that they wanted to make the territory lack of funds, the construction of the territory was abandoned halfway, and the army could not replace better equipment. These things are all due to the rule that 50% of the fief income must be turned over to the main family. And Yuna's purpose of not using the 500 billion is probably the same.
Having figured this out, Tang Long began to secretly pay attention to the expressions of his retainers. After hearing what Elsie and the others said, most of the retainers showed thoughtful expressions, and only a small number of retainers were foolish. I just stayed there and didn't think about anything. It seems that my retainers are not fuel-efficient lamps, they are so sensitive.
At this time, Peng Wenfeng and Zhang Kai reported to Tang Long the situation of the formation of the police force. After explaining the situation, Zhang Kai said: "My lord, there are three retainers who defy the lord's order to own the army privately, and they want to separate from the lord and manage it by themselves." The fiefdom. Under the command of the lord's personal guards, the subordinates and others have captured them and the clansmen who followed the rebellion. Now all the prisoners are being held in the territorial police department, please judge the lord."
Most people didn't know the news about this matter, because Tang Long's female soldiers moved too fast, and those retainers were taken away before they contacted their relatives and friends. As for the policemen who were controlled by Peng Wenfeng, they didn't dare to talk too much about it. So after hearing the news, the retainers and the people present were stunned for a moment. Anyone with a brain began to think wildly: Owning an army privately should be regarded as treason, right? But these retainers can have an army according to the family rules. It is only when the new lord Tang Long arrives that he is not allowed to have an army. the reason. On the one hand, this matter is the authority of the lord's family, and on the other hand, it is the authority of the lord. I don't know what the new lord will do
"The verdict? It's a little troublesome." Tang Long said with a frown while resting his chin in his hand.
Zhang Kai lowered his head and thought to himself: "Of course it's troublesome. Although they violated your order, my lord, they already have the right to legally form an army. You are challenging the lord by depriving your retainers of the right to own troops. No matter you How to deal with them, the master will definitely interfere."
Tang Long sighed and said: "Hey, let's fire them. Those who have no ability to live will definitely hate me to the bone, and I'm afraid they will come to trouble me from time to time. Keep locked up, not only occupying the space of the cell, but also increasing expenses. Really Yes, what am I worrying about so much? Zhang Kai, in order to save me worry and trouble, you shot all those rebels!"
Seeing Tang Long issue a kill order to himself with an attitude as if he was talking about what to eat tonight, Zhang Kai shivered uncontrollably, but he still nodded immediately and followed the order.
The people who heard this didn't feel much and were even a little excited. First of all, they had lived under the family system for a long time, and they knew very well that the lord had the absolute right to dispose of his retainers. In this place, the lord didn't need to make any excuses for wanting his retainers to die. Secondly, they live in this era of endless wars, and they are used to seeing a large number of people being killed and injured every year. The third thing is to relieve qi. For those retainers who might find an excuse to kill a few civilians like themselves at any time, the people wished they could all die. What's so great about just killing three retainers now.
However, the vassals who knew the details of the three vassals had ugly faces, and they inevitably felt a bit sad. They were worried about Tang Long's cruelty, because each of the three vassals had thousands of family members. Just be wiped out by Tang Long's casual words? Of course, this incident also made the retainers have to worry about the lives of their entire clan when they did bad things.
Not long after, Zhang Kai, who smelled like blood, came back to report: "My lord, all 3,532 rebels have been executed." The retainers, who had been startled when they saw Zhang Kai's appearance, heard the number. Immediately there was a deep chill in my heart. Most of the reason for this chill came from the behavior of Tang Long and those female retainers after hearing this number.
The people in the distance couldn't see anything because they were too far away, but the retainers nearby could clearly see Tang Long and his female retainers looking at Zhang Kai with normal expressions. They couldn't imagine that the very young lord and his delicate-looking, pink-and-pink girls would act as if nothing had happened to the execution of thousands of people at once. Are they all cold-blooded
Tang Long yawned and said: "Okay, look at how nervous you all look, aren't you the guys who executed the rebels? Those fools without brains are not worthy of pity. Isn't it? Since they have no strength, then their own Don’t be so ambitious that you want to conspire against them, which will not only waste time but also waste money, wouldn’t it be good to live obediently?” Hearing this, the retainers shuddered again and did not dare to answer.
Seeing that no one said anything, Tang Long waved his hand and said, "Continue to report." The retainer who took the first task last time immediately started to report the results. Tang Long, who was originally interested, listened to the reports of his retainers one after another, and his head became more and more dizzy, because these guys had no results except for a few relatively simple tasks, especially those who were looking for For the new sales line, it took a long time to say that it could not be completed.
Tang Long, who finally waited for all the retainers to report, immediately stood up and said: "I will reappoint the heads of various departments. Yuna is in charge of finance and business, Li Wu is in charge of administration and personnel, Ling Li is in charge of planning and intelligence, and Er Xi is in charge of construction and civil affairs. If you don’t have enough manpower, you can choose by yourself, but you have to go to Liwu for the record. You retainers who accepted the task last time, report to the head of that department what department the task you were in charge of last time belongs to. Jie Si and Sally follow me, and the rest will end the meeting." Tang Long turned and walked into the city hall as he spoke.
Yuna and the others who were added to the job could only look at each other, and smiled helplessly. Tang Long really went to be the shopkeeper.
Sally and Jess followed Tang Long to a certain room in the city hall. Both of them were not very talkative, so they just looked at Tang Long quietly.
After Tang Long motioned them to sit down, he said, "I called you here because I hope that you can pick out some people from the army to train on warships. In this era, military strength depends on warships."
"Sir, oh my lord, the quality of the soldiers here is not bad. All of the 40,000 people can take the battleship training course, but we don't have any extra warships. How can we train?" Jessie said puzzled.
Tang Long nodded and said: "The battleship is not a problem. We can also buy two more battleships like the Meteorite from Chen Kang. Before the battleship arrives, you should use the learning machine on the Meteorite to train those soldiers first. Well, Let me think about it..." Speaking of this, Tang Long continued after thinking about it: "A battleship like the Meteorite can accommodate 5,000 crew members before it is refitted, of which 20 are required for communication management, 10 for warship driving, 50 for radar monitoring, 400 crew members. 1 fighter maintenance, 20 fighter pilots, 100 engine room management, 500 logistics management, 2000 fire control, and more than 2000 marines. It is strange that since there are so many marines, why is there no assault boat? Forget it When ordering with Chen Kang, just ask him to add it."
Tang Long raised his head and said to Sally and Jess: "You are responsible for selecting the armed personnel needed by the warship from the army, and for those personnel in logistics, engine room, maintenance, and communication, please ask Liwu to help you recruit and train them uniformly. , you need to train more fighter pilots and fighters, and we need a lot of such people after we have an aircraft carrier. Well, it’s best to train those 40,000 territorial soldiers to become qualified battleship soldiers.”
Sally, who was thinking fast, suddenly thought of a problem, and couldn't help but said very worriedly: "My lord, although those soldiers can be trained into battleship soldiers, battleship captains and officers at all levels cannot be trained. And they They have never experienced space warfare, and I am afraid that when they go to space, they will be at a loss. Because some soldiers have grown so big that they have never even been to space once."
"Haven't been to space?! Impossible?" Tang Long said with wide eyes in disbelief.
Sally sighed and said, "Oh, my lord, there are no tourist companies in this place, and it is impossible for ordinary people to own spaceships. It is not surprising that they have never been to space in their entire lives."
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Long said: "Oh, this is simple. Later, Chen Kang and I will buy him tens of thousands of "War" game cabins. I have played this game before. Soldiers who haven’t been to space can experience a virtual space environment so they don’t panic when they’re in space for the first time.”
"Well, this is a good way. By the way, my lord, our sisters... uh... I don't know if it is possible... to participate in the training of the battleship commander?" Jess asked Tang Long carefully.
"Is it okay? All of you must participate in commander training. Otherwise, when we have more warships, who will be the commander of the warships? You are the people I trust the most." Tang Long laughed.
Although Jiesi was very happy to hear Tang Long's words, she frowned when she thought about Tang Long's safety and said, "Then who will be the lord's personal guard? I'm not sure about the loyalty of the soldiers in the territory, because in the end we will... "
