"Okay! 1.2 billion is 1.2 billion! I'll figure out the rest!" Luo Zhengfeng breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
1.2 billion is enough for an army to go out!
But Luo Zhengfeng has spoken out for the national war, so naturally there will be a lot more.
Due to time issues, the two did not stay here longer. They just ordered the head of the Huang family to bring all the gold coins to the general's mansion.
The end.
He also told Huang Quan not to expose the empty state treasury, otherwise everyone would be implicated.
These words mean that His Majesty is not aware of the empty treasury.
Huang Quan looked confused.
So.
Where have all the taxes and grain collected over the years gone? ?
That’s a huge number!
If His Majesty knew this, perhaps Huang Quan would think that His Majesty was planning to invest in some big project, such as rebuilding a palace or something.
But now His Majesty doesn’t know!
This is a little strange!
Huang Quan couldn't understand, shook his head secretly, and simply stopped thinking about it!
After leaving the Huang family, the two came to the Wang family again.
As one of the four major merchant families, the Wang family's economy has soared in recent years.
Later, after joining Luo Zhengfeng, they became one of the four major merchant families, the second family after the Liu family.
The head of the Wang family lay comfortably on the rocking chair, enjoying the concubine's gentle touch.
When he learned that Luo Zhengfeng had arrived, he hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Luo Zhengfeng asked for 500 million gold coins, but he didn't scare the head of the Wang family to death.
Although their family is very wealthy, there has never been anyone who can ask for 500 million gold coins from them.
Only Luo Zhengfeng dared to open his mouth.
"Luo...General Luo...what happened?" Wang He was not an idiot. He thought of the army going out for battle.
The news that Shanjian City had been breached had long spread in the Yan Empire, but Luo Zhengfeng paid a visit at this juncture, probably to prepare for the army's expedition.
so.
His inner thoughts are not much different from Huang Quan's.
Luo Zhengfeng did not hide anything and said bluntly that the national treasury was empty and the army was in need of military pay, food, grass, and equipment for the expedition.
Wang He was shocked and unbelievable.
In the end, due to the development of Luo Zhengfeng, he took out 300 million gold coins in the midst of physical pain.
Luo Zhengfeng got the gold coins and quickly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Li Rui was still lying on the bed in a daze. His eyes were dull, his breath was weak, and his long hair was getting paler.
The face is also a bit older.
A series of ravines crisscrossed his cheeks.
"Prime Minister..."
Luo Zhengfeng and Tian Chong entered Li Rui's room.
Seeing Luo Zhengfeng's arrival, Li Rui seemed to want to say something, but he mumbled something and didn't say anything.
"Prime Minister... the funding problem has been solved! The Huang family provided 1.2 billion gold coins! The Wang family provided 300 million gold coins! In addition, there will be 400 to 500 million gold coins in the future, which will be gradually subsidized to the army!" Luo Zhengfeng spoke truthfully.
As soon as these words came out, an ugly smile appeared on Li Rui's lips.
Although his smile was a bit ugly, there was relief on his face.
He had lived and been greedy for most of his life. He thought that his gold coins were as rich as his country's, but he didn't expect that when he was enjoying them, they all disappeared.
This caused him great pain.
My heart felt like I was being tortured, and I was in agony.
Lying in bed, his consciousness was hazy and he even had hallucinations. He once thought that he was not the Prime Minister of Yan, and he had not embezzled so much money.
Just an ordinary little guy.
He looked back on his life, and even to his death he could not have imagined that all the money he had worked so hard to embezzle was used as a wedding dress for Yan Yun.
If he knew that all his money had gone into Yan Yun's storage space, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, right?
………………
After Luo Zhengfeng had sufficient funds, with the help of the Huang family and the Wang family, he purchased large quantities of iron ore, grain and grass.
Weapons were built day and night, and troops were sent in advance to transport food and grass to the front line.
In order not to waste time.
Luo Zhengfeng ordered his generals to lead the infantry first and march towards Lieri City.
He led 300,000 cavalry and only went to the front line after all the weapons were built.
With sufficient funds, Luo Zhengfeng showed some confidence on his face.
……………………
Yanzhao Mountain.
Although Yanzhao Mountain is also on the border between the two countries, it is thousands of kilometers away from Yanzhao Pass.
Yanzhaoguo is adjacent to Shanjian City, and behind Shanjian City is Lieri City.
After Lieri City, there is Yanhuang City.
It can be said.
Yanzhao Pass, Shanjian City, Lieri City, and Yanhuang City belong to a straight line from west to east.
Yanhuang City, Qingshui City, Gangjin City, Manhuang Pass, and Manhuang Land are a route from the northeast to the southwest.
Yanhuang City, Heba City, Dadi City, Huangmu City, and Huxiao Pass are a route from northwest to southeast.
Jianghai City and Leihuo City, one is in the northwest corner of Yanhuang City, and the other is in the northeast corner of Yanhuang City.
certainly.
Let’s not mention other cities that have not been mentioned yet.
now.
Yan Yun's team is not far from Gangjin City!
If nothing else happens, we will arrive at Gangjin City at noon today.
If nothing else, the surprise really didn’t come...
At noon.
The large army entered Gangjin City unimpeded.
Gangjin City is the last city on the way to the wild land.
After passing Gangjin City and crossing the Wilderness Pass, you can reach the Wilderness Land.
Entering Gangjin City, Yan Yun has fewer worries in his heart!
Under the leadership of Pei Jie'ao, the group came to Pei Jie'ao's base in Gangjin City.
good!
They are going to stay here tonight.
As for the report to the Lord's Mansion of Gangjin City?
Isn't that necessary?
Now that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, if the city lord of Gangjin City dares to cause trouble, Yan Yun doesn't mind killing him.
These city lords were all from Yan Nandu, and he didn't care about that.
A group of exiles, led by Pei Jieao, walked towards Pei Jieao's base.
Pei Jie'ao's hiring team travels between Gangjin City and Yanzhao Town, so he has his base in both places.
It’s not unusual for many hiring teams to have their own base.
This garrison base is a civilian inn.
The boss behind the Civil Inn is Pei Jieao, and all team members are shareholders.
This is a good way to make money and take a break.
Along the way, Pei Jie'ao's team only had 15 people left.
Everyone else was killed!
The remaining 15 people are also Pei Jieao's core main force.
These 15 people have been following him for many years, and each of them is a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles.
The streets of Gangjin City are very lively.
When the visiting team saw Yan Yun and others entering the city, they would not think that they were an exiled team.
There were so many of them, all riding war horses, and each of them was well-dressed. It didn't look like they were in exile, but more like they were on vacation in Gangjin City.
