Zongwu: Li Xiuning proposes to marry, and signs to Jinyiwei

At that time, there will be no need to worry about military expenditures and administrative expenditures.

There might even be a ton of money left over.

However, it is probably impossible for Mu Yuan to wait for a year.

In five months at most, he will launch a crusade against Liang Shidu, Sun Hua and Liu Jialun.

He is not worried about the issue of food and grass, it is completely enough.

It's just that building weapons and mobilizing civilians also cost money.

So he is still very short of money.

With an army of 30, at least [-] civilians are needed to provide a solid logistical guarantee.

These 30 civilian husbands require a lot of expenditure.

Although as a ruler, Mu Yuan has the power to conscript corvee.

But Muyuan still wants to give them some wages.

In the Sui Dynasty, corvee workers had to bring their own food (aebf), but the common people were used to it.

But Mu Yuan didn't want to say that, the 30 civilian husbands had a great impact on the production of the two counties.

So they need to spend money to make up for their losses caused by delays in production.

So in fact, Mu Yuan can be very rich, but he did not adopt an overly aggressive approach, which resulted in him obviously having millions of taels of silver in his hands, as well as a lot of resources.

In the end, we can only maintain a balance of payments.

This is also because Liang Shidu had oppressed the people in the two counties too hard before.

It is impossible for Mu Yuan to squeeze again.

The people can't live any longer, so what's the point of fighting?

So Mu Yuan's lack of money is purely self-inflicted.

Choose a more difficult way.

Even the Li Clan, who treats the people the best, squeezes them hard.

Because if they don't squeeze, they don't have enough money and food to support the army.

And there is not enough money to reward the generals under his opponent.

Nor do they have enough resources for their own enjoyment.

After all, they have no plans to reduce the expenditure of the Li family to expand the army.

After all, the Li family is a powerful family, and they don't care much about the life and death of the people.

It's just that their oppression of the people is lighter than other places.

In this way, the people of Taiyuan are also grateful to the Li family.

No way, at least most of the people in Taiyuan can afford to eat.

That's pretty good.

The people in other places can at best maintain their lives and work, that's all.

In contrast, under Mu Yuan, the common people are indeed living the best life.

It is similar to the people near Daxing City, and they can eat enough.

It is precisely because of this that the people in Pingliang County and Lingwu County really love Mu Yuan very much.

Of course, the price is that Mu Yuan can only think of other ways to get money.

If he had money, he would never want to have a loan with Pegasus Ranch.

He is not a villain.

Of course, he knows the truth about giving money for buying things.

He also obeyed, but what can he do if he has no money?

Mu Yuan's strength is also among the best among the various rebel armies, but as a leader of the rebel army, Mu Yuan's life is definitely the most difficult.

The entire City Lord's Mansion actually only has tens of thousands of taels of silver to keep it running.

Just can't imagine.

Huang Rong looked at Mu Yuan with a sad face.

I don't know why, but feeling distressed, I hold Mu Yuan's hand.

"If you are really short of money, I can ask my father to give you some."

After all, Huang Laoxie owns the entire Peach Blossom Island, but his assets are worth 10 taels of silver.

But Mu Yuan obviously wouldn't do that.

"What are you talking about? Your father does have some money, but it's a drop in the bucket for military expenses. Besides, as long as I get the treasures in Duke Yang's treasury, it will be enough for me."

It is more than enough, as long as you get the treasure inside, after Mu Yuan, you don't need to worry about military expenses at all.

Let alone a hundred thousand elites, even 20 elites, he can afford to support them.

Of course, at this time Mu Yuan thought of the Chai family, and the rich Chai family really made Mu Yuan very envious.

Casually taking out 1000 million taels of silver, it is estimated that the entire Chai family has tens of millions of taels of silver.

Wealth is incomparable to a country, which can really describe their family.

If Mu Yuan had tens of millions of taels, why would he take the risk to come here to find Duke Yang's treasury.

He has already swept the entire Yongzhou.

Huang Rong felt a little uncomfortable, and didn't know how to help Mu Yuan.

"Okay, don't be so depressed, as long as I get the treasure in Yang Gong's treasury this time, all problems will be solved."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Huang Rong and Zhu Yuyan away.

Mu Yuan didn't mind that Lu Xiaofeng and the others heard his purpose.

Because when they knew that their purpose was the treasure in Duke Yang's treasury, they could guess what Mu Yuan would use the money for.

Zhu Yuyan was a little helpless, although she could support Mu Yuan with millions of taels of silver.

But he is simply impossible to subordinate.

Lu Xiaofeng and the others understood Mu Yuan.

After all, military spending is the largest expenditure of any kind.

Lu Xiaofeng was an official in Ming Dynasty, so he is very aware of the huge military expenditure.

Even the construction of palaces and the various enjoyments of the emperor are insignificant compared with military expenditures or funds for major projects.

So in fact, no matter how stupid an emperor is, as long as he is not like Duke Yang, he can build a canal at every turn, and launch millions of people to fight abroad at every turn, in fact, it doesn't cost much money.

It also spent more than the dynasty's finances.

In fact, it is not impossible to do these projects and things, but it is impossible to complete them in a short time.

The national power of the Sui Dynasty did not allow him to make such a fuss.

Goguryeo should be big, because if they are allowed to grow, they will pose a great threat to Tai Sui.

But it is impossible to mobilize an army of one million and a large scale of more than 300 million civilian husbands all at once.

And it should be the same as Li Shimin later, only mobilizing tens of thousands of people to attack every time, so that Goguryeo has always been under the threat of war, and the country is always in a state of combat readiness.

Tens of thousands of people invaded Goguryeo, constantly consuming their national power.

Finally, a decisive battle of 10,000+ people was launched.

Finally captured Goguryeo.

You must know that Goguryeo and Da Sui fought a war of attrition, and they would definitely not be able to consume Da Sui.

For Goguryeo, it may be necessary to consume the power of the whole country to offset the pressure brought by the war, but for the national power of the Sui Dynasty.

It's just a small foreign war, and it won't consume much money.

But Yang Guang mobilized millions of people at once, and finally invaded Goguryeo. Goguryeo was indeed not an opponent, and they were all beaten to the capital, but as long as the climate changed, the battle would only be slow.

This resulted in the hasty evacuation of millions of people.

It even caused a big rout.

Moreover, mobilizing millions of people is a sharp consumption of national power.

So Mu Yuan really didn't have much affection for Yang Guang.

He can really toss.

The purpose is good at the beginning, but it is really no brainer to operate.

Mu Yuan didn't believe that those ministers didn't give him advice, so what can he do if he doesn't listen?

But thinking about how Yang Guang came to power, one can understand why he did that.

When he led the army to wipe out Nanchen before, although he was the commander in chief, it was just his father who asked him to gain experience.

The specific battle plan is formulated by the generals under him.

After he himself became the emperor and operated it himself, such strange behavior would naturally appear.

And he also conquered Korea three times, which almost exhausted a lot of Sui's vitality.

Originally, he was an established army, so don't operate blindly. Based on the foundation left by his father, it may last for several generations.

Therefore, for a dynasty, military expenditures and expenditures on various major projects are the most expensive and consume the most people's energy.

Lu Xiaofeng lived in Daming, and even served as an official, so he is naturally very aware of these things.

Chapter 185 The Conversation Between Yan Jingan and Mu Yuan

When he brought Huang Rong and Zhu Yuyan back to the inn.

Mu Yuan stood in his room, looking at Yan Jingan who was sitting in his resting place practicing.
