Chapter 455 I Won't Let You Fart!
The more Xiao Chen talked, the more excited he became.
Even if you owe the military salary, you still owe it, but the living can owe it. You have to set aside the pensions for thousands of soldiers who died or injured, right?
If you don't give this money, then I really dare not go back.
I'm afraid that when their heroic spirits come to me and cry, I'll be ashamed to see them!
Xiao Chen was impassioned, he simply expressed his feelings, and continued to question Chen Wenqi, these are all in addition to the subsidy money promised by the emperor, now you Mr. Chen can't even give out the subsidy money, so how can I, the governor, do it?
Just now Zhou Weichu and Xu Haiming kept telling me about regulation, so I would also like to ask the two adults, is it regulation to pay back debts?
Is the payment of military pay a regulation? Is the pension for the fallen soldiers regulated?
Is it a regulation to stop hundreds of thousands of people in my Yanyun County pointing to life-saving food to fill their stomachs!
Besides, at the beginning, I took the IOUs to other people's houses to ask for debts. I'm afraid you know how many people I offended, Lord Zhou Weichu. I guess there must be many people going to you to sue me for tricks, right?
You are the censor of Zuodu, and rumors can play a role, so I guess you also handed over these memorials to impeach me to the emperor, right?
Hehe, if the emperor didn't trust me and love me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have to resign, and I would have been sent to prison to be punished by now. How can I have the honor to sit and discuss with you in the court hall!
The emperor said that I was having a child's temper, and the prince said that I was restraining my anger. Now I would like to ask all of you here, if you change places with me, what will happen?
Xiao Chen's words made everyone speechless, because what he said were all the truth, and every word was heartbreaking!
"Your Majesty, if you discuss the law in this way, you don't need to discuss it in your opinion. I dare not live up to the grace, and I don't dare to play tricks. I will set off tomorrow and use my flesh and blood to be loyal to the emperor." That's all." Xiao Chen said that he was extremely disappointed, his heart was cold, and his anger was vented, so let's love someone.
"Master Xiao is not letting me talk." Chen Wenqi smiled wryly, "It seems that only you have difficulties, and everyone is easy..."
"It's not that I won't let you talk, I won't let you fart!" Xiao Chen finally got angry, "Do you think I don't know if you have any money in the household department? The taxes collected years ago are at least 20 million taels in cash! There are also tens of millions of taels of arrears paid by the governors from all over the country, right?"
"Do you dare to say that the war in Minzhou was all spent? I spent half a year in Yanyun County fighting with the tribes in northern Xinjiang, and how many things I did to appease the local area. I spent less than ten million taels of silver in total, Feng In less than a month, King Yang spent fifty or sixty million taels of silver?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but not get angry.
With thousands of old, weak and remnant soldiers, I fought alone to regain Yanyun County without support, military pay, or even food and grass, and spent a total of five million taels of silver.
He, Fengyang King Li Feng, has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, with strong troops and horses, sufficient food and wages, reinforcements to support, local support and only partial operations, how many tens of millions have he spent to repel Xiao Xinghan's more than 10,000 lone troops and mobs?
First of all, I will definitely not spend so much money. If so much money is really spent, then the matter will be even bigger. In the future, the frontier soldiers will not give their lives to you. Wang went to fight.
Otherwise, they will all end up like Xiao Chen in the end!
"Xiao Chen, if you have something to say, why are you scolding?" Seeing that Chen Wenqi's face turned pale from anger, Li Shi hurried out to make love.
"The emperor forgives the sin, the prince forgives the sin, Lord Chen also please forgive the sin, I shouldn't scold you, if you are offended, you can scold me back, or I can scold myself, what I said just now is also fart I'll shut up, you guys go ahead and tell me all your difficulties, I'll listen to you!" Xiao Chen officially went crazy.
I don't give me the right to appoint and remove officials, and I don't give me any money. Just let me work hard for you, and let me help you recover Shunfeng Harbor. Go and be your mother's Qingqiu dream!
"I didn't say no to money, I just talked about the difficulties of our household department." Chen Wenqi did not get angry, which shows that his scheming is deep and unfathomable.
"The emperor has a decree. No matter how difficult it is, the Ministry of Households must find a way, but it can't take out too much at one time, let alone pay back the debts you just mentioned, Mr. Xiao. It's not that they won't pay, but they need to be paid in installments. Come on, how about this, I will allocate two million taels to you first to solve your urgent needs..." This is to test Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's mouth was tightly shut, his face was gloomy, and he didn't want to talk to him at all.
"Two million is a little less, Wen Qi, you can find a way to add more." Li Shidu couldn't listen anymore.
"My lord has spoken, and I have no choice but to resign myself to it. Let's make up three million taels." Li Shi's words are only worth one million taels.
"Hehe, it seems that the Ministry of Household Affairs is really difficult." Li Shi was displeased, and his words were thorny.
"No matter how difficult it is, you can come to Yanyun County. I think I will give Xiao Chen five million taels first." Li Wanjiang frowned and said, "Xiao Chen, you have to understand my difficulties."
"Minister, obey the order." Xiao Chen reluctantly gave in.
"I will exempt you from taxes in Yanyun County for another three years. In addition, I will not take a penny from the income from mutual market trade. It will be at your disposal." Li Wanjiang said again.
"Sir, thank you Lord Long En!" Xiao Chen finally showed a smile on his face.
It is not easy.
"It's not because I'm partial and unwilling to spend money in Yanyun County, but there are still many places to spend money in Yanyun County in the future... I want to recover Shunfeng Harbor, what do you think?" Li Wanjiang said.
ah? Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, didn't they mean to discuss the matter of Yanyun County, why did Shunfeng Harbor get involved?
Oh, that's right, Shunfeng Port belongs to Yanyun County.
Because Shunfeng Harbor has been occupied by Ross people for a long time, everyone has forgotten...
But don't know how to recover?
"At present, the battle in Minzhou County is over. I can transfer the navy to go north. In addition, I want to transfer a total of 20,000 elite soldiers from Wolong Pass and Yanyun Pass to Yanyun County, and attack Ross stationed in Shunfeng Harbor from both land and water directions The fleet launched an attack," Li Wanjiang said.
Now that the emperor has said so specifically, it seems that his determination to take back Shunfeng Harbor by force has been made, and it must not be changed.
There is no doubt that Shunfeng Harbor will be recovered sooner or later, but it is also necessary to find the right time.
If the timing is right now, it's good, and if it's bad, it's not good.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen regained the entire territory of Yanyun County and stabilized the tribes in the northern border, so that he could directly fight against the Ross people without any worries.
The bad thing is that the strength of the Dazhou Navy is still very weak. I'm afraid they are not the opponent of the Ross fleet. In addition, if they lose this battle, there is nothing to say. If they win, the Ross people will definitely not give up. If we officially start a war with our big week.
How will we cope then?
