Zetian Hall, Partial Hall, Imperial Army Chamber.

When Wei Qiu talked about the seizure of the 20 magic crystal cannons from the Congress Army, the crowd roared with laughter. Zhang Wei grinned and said: "The Shangshu of the Ministry of War is the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and it is very good to grab things like this. "

Lin Muyu groaned and asked: "Is it found out the origin of these magic crystal cannons? Could it be that besides the Imperial Weapon Department, someone else has mastered the technology of casting magic crystal cannons."

"Not so." Wei Qiu replied: "The bottoms of these magic crystal cannons are all engraved with the number of the Ministry of War. If not unexpectedly, they should have been lost during the First World War in Lingdong Province. Later, the army of the Tianji Empire did not have time to bring it. If you leave, it will fall into the private sector. As for how the Congress army came... Most of them were bought from those merchants or mercenaries."

"It seems that the Congressional Army is racking their brains for armaments." Feng Jixing sighed and said: "Since Zhuang Yan can think of this way to make armaments, he will definitely think of ways from other places. For the time being, they It's quite polite to the Ministry of Defense. Once you have enough armaments, it may not be necessary after your hole cards are hard."

"Yeah." Lin Muyu nodded and said, "After all, there are too many people in the Congress. Once equipped with the magic crystal cannon, it will be great. You, Wei Qiu and Zhang Wei, must send people to investigate carefully, and you can't relax. alert."

"Yes, Lin Shuai." Several people clasped their fists together.

Lin Muyu groaned, and then said: "Zhuang Yan and Su Changying are smart people, and they will definitely contend with the imperial army in other ways. As for what they are best at, they should be inciting people's hearts and using the Constitution's regulations. Starting today, everyone in the Imperial Army must study the Constitution and regulations and restrain their words and deeds. No one can be caught by the congressional army. Have you remembered."

"Yes."

"Especially you, Zhang Wei." Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows: "There is a provision in the Constitution regarding military personnel regulations that military personnel must not raise more than three concubines or play with women, and you Zhang Wei repeatedly enters and exits Fireworks Lane, once you are caught I'm afraid no one can keep you, so you have to restrain it, you know."

Zhang Wei knelt on one knee: "Yes, Lin Shuai, the final will understand, he must restrain himself."

Following Feng Jixing for many years, Zhang Wei’s temperament has indeed restrained a lot. According to his previous temper, I’m afraid he would have taken a knife to the Congress and hacked it. The world of this empire was jointly attacked by Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, and Tang Xiaoxi. When they came back, who would dare to let them feel angry would be an enemy of Zhang Wei, at least, he must have thought so in his honest temperament.

Lin Muyu sat in the handsome position, flipped through the military order book in front of him, and said: "Winter is coming soon, how are our armaments and supplies prepared."

"Lin Shuai, please rest assured." Among the crowd, Ding Xi clasped his fists and said: "His Royal Highness Yin ordered his subordinates to take charge of the Quartermaster Department. These subordinates have been arranged with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. The padded suit will be ready to stop working within half a month, and the weather will be cold after half a month, which just happens to come in handy."

"Well, I have worked hard for General Ding Xi." Lin Muyu nodded, and said: "By the way, where's the food for war horses, and, have the people we sent to North Desert to buy war horses come back."

Ding Xi said: "The grain and grass have been prepared properly. There are more than 40 forage yards in Lanyan City, enough for our 100,000 horses to survive the entire cold winter. In addition, the people who went to the North Desert have quickly returned. After Mouton’s death, there were more than a dozen tribes without a leader, but there were still many war horses. Our envoys met with their tribe chiefs, and they had negotiated that they would sell us 150,000 war horses at a price of about 150. One Jin Yin coin, so we need to prepare nearly 30 million Jin Yin coins."

"Thirty million, does the household department have it."

"The household department is a bit tight, and these Jin Yin coins need to be moved from other places."

Lin Muyu frowned, turned to look at Qin Yin, and said, "Xiao Yin, do you have any money there."

Qin Yin pursed her red lips and said, "Zetian Temple is also poor. Even if it is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, there is not so much money. There are about 10 million Jin Yin coins in the imperial palace library. I will give you all of them. You have to figure it out by yourself."

Lin Muyu turned to the other side again: "Xiao Xi, is there any money in Seven Seas Palace?"

"No..." Tang Xiaoxi blinked, "During the last expedition to the Cangnan Province, the treasury of the Qihai Province was almost spent. Now that the green and yellow are not available, Xiaoyin will amnesty the tax reduction and exemption of the world after returning, so slightly, Everywhere is very poor now."

"It seems that the eleven years of war did impoverish the empire. The dignified Lanyan City can't even get tens of millions of gold coins..."

"Yeah, that's how it was originally."

Feng Jixing said: "Ayu, you might as well ask Jin Xiaotang, Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce should still be rich. These 150,000 horses are very important to us. The future war will still be the battlefield of iron cavalry. Clumsy and can only be used in defensive warfare. The real offensive warfare still depends on the cavalry and the rapid impact of the magic crystal crossbow. It can't be done without a horse."

"Well, I will ask, but it will not be too ideal. Now the big households in Lanyan City are also very poor, and the business of Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce is not as good as before."

Tang Xiaoxi pursed his mouth: "The grand Qin Empire, where the money has gone for thousands of years of savings."

"It's all on the steel wall, and annihilated in the wilderness of the battlefield." Feng Jixing said with emotion.

At this time, Ding Xi said, "I think some people are very rich."

"Who." Lin Muyu asked.

Ding Xi said: "Princes of the National Congress, you see, they have the money to buy the magic crystal cannon from the mercenaries, which can prove that their family is relatively solid. Take Zhuang Yan as an example. He is the prefect of Sunset City. The dealer he was in was also a business giant in Xunbai Province. After the demons were repelled, Sunset City continued to sing and dance, and even the war between the Blackstone Empire and the Tianji Empire did not burn into the Sunset City, so Zhuang Yan is very With money, it can be seen from the fact that he can raise nearly 60,000 troops. Without money, no rations, who will follow him."

The corner of Qin Yin's mouth lightly raised, and said, "Master Ding Xi meant that... we should kill the big family."

"Yes."

Ding Xi said: "Since Zhuang Yan, Su Changying and others can set up a parliament to reduce power with great fanfare, then why should we be polite, and we can set up names to rob the princes' property and fiefs. For example, Zhuang Yan is still the prefect of Sunset City. , Is the lord of Sunset City, but Her Royal Highness actually has the right to demote him."

Feng Jixing's eyes lit up: "General Ding Xi meant to remove all the princes' positions in the fief."

"Yes."

Ding Xi took a deep breath and said, "His Royal Highness can select a group of young talents from the imperial capital to go to various places, called'Jun En Ling'. In fact, they only replace the status of the princes in the fief and make them lose their roots. And these princes If you don’t want to be replaced, you need to hand over a certain amount of property to dismiss the Jun’s Order, so that you can justify the collection of local financial resources.”

"good."

Lin Muyu clapped her palms and said with a smile: "Master Ding Xi's strategy is good and feasible, Xiaoyin and Xiaoxi, what do you think."

Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi nodded together: "Agree."

Lin Muyu looked at Shangguan Jingyue, and said: "Then please ask Shangguan Nv Shi to draft this emperor's order immediately. The sooner the better, it will be delivered directly to the hands of the princes. If they do not express anything within seven days, they will take it. Their fiefdom."

"Yes, Lin Shuai." Shangguan Jingyue Xin went away.

Lin Muyu eagerly said: "This way, you will have the money to buy the war horse."

Wei Qiu said again: "Lin Shuai, the god Hou Zeng Yifan sent a feather letter from Dongshuang City, and learned that the Tianjue Empire on the Celestial Continent had passed through the forest of no return and had already started a battle against the Zhang Sheng army of the Tianji Empire."

"Chen Yu is at war with Zhang Sheng."

Lin Muyu was taken aback for a moment and said with joy: "Good thing, this is a good thing, so the Celestial Continent will not threaten us for at least half a year, great."

He was full of ambition, feeling that he couldn't sit down in the handsome position, and said: "By the way, how is the reconstruction of the Imperial Navy going."

Bai Lichang clasped his fists: "Thanks to the marshal, several large docks are short of money, so the casting of louvers is very slow, and now only the scale of nearly a hundred louvers, and the recruits of the navy still need to be trained in a short period of time. It is impossible to form combat effectiveness at all."

"Money... I still need money."

Lin Muyu held his forehead and couldn't help feeling a little headache.

"Ayu, are you okay?" Feng Jixing asked.

"It's okay." Lin Muyu shook his head and said: "Everyone present is an empire stockman. All of you want to find a way. How to make money. Without money, we can't cast more boats. Without a boat, we can't train water. Teacher, if there is no navy... Our East China Sea is still blank, we don't have our own borders at all, and we can only be passively beaten. Without warships, we can't assemble a large army to march."

"Dongzheng..." Tang Xiaoxi was stunned.

"Yes, Dongzheng." Lin Muyu looked at her and said with a smile: "Don't you think Xiaoxi that we should completely destroy the Celestial Continent?"

"This, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Ding Xi sighed and laughed.

"I know it's difficult, but we must prepare in advance." Lin Muyu turned the pen in his hand, brushing, and meditating, while saying: "It's not that I want to be military and military, but if our Great Qin Empire is not military and military, we will definitely be destroyed. , Even if I am sorry for future generations, but I must fight."

Qin Yin moved slightly and said softly, "I will support you with all my strength."

Tang Xiaoxi nodded: "Me too."

The generals were taken aback for a moment, and then all clasped their fists together and said, "I will follow the marshal, and the soldiers will not retreat."

Lin Muyu smiled happily. The talents in front of him were the real mainstays of the empire. It was this group of people who defeated the powerful enemies time and time again. Yihe Kingdom, Mozu, Tianji Empire, Blackstone Empire, they are the real treasures of the Empire, history They will always remember their names, as well as their brilliant achievements and chapters.
