"You have indeed said something like this. Sometimes these things are not so simple and can be carried out. We must understand these things. As it stands now, we have encountered such a big defeat, not just us , Even the people below us have lost confidence in us. If this continues, I don’t know what to do. You must have your own ideas. To be honest, after the incident this time, I will be a little bit I was frustrated, although this kind of thing is normal to me, because my own problems have caused the firm to lose so much, which is strange to say, why the people of the Western Empire can be the people of the Southern Empire. What I can’t do, I’m really very strange. By the way, the financial system of the firm is not bad. This war seems to have cost a lot of money.” Li Cong is such a guy. Only when things happen do they think of how they should be remedied. They didn't think of these things at the beginning. Didn't they think about it before?Wu Zuoxi shook his head. It was good for Li Cong to recognize his mistakes. He didn't say where Li Cong was wrong, because he felt that he didn't need this at all. Li Cong himself understood these things very well. Yes, even if what I said is right, Li Cong doesn’t need any explanation here. Talking to smart people has such benefits. This is the situation in front of you. It may take a long time for others. I came to explain it to them, but for Li Cong, this is absolutely unnecessary. He can understand this very well, and now he can also know the financial system of the firm.It is already very good. It is estimated that the emperor of the Western Empire has not asked about their financial system, and he has another thing to say about the Western Empire.

"I told you a long time ago. Many things don’t need to be successful. Now we don’t really want to pursue that. There is only one thing that needs to be resolved now, even though it’s the case between us and the Western Empire. It is resolved, but something that must be changed is our relationship with the Western Empire, and our people within the Western Empire have returned. They still want us to make some concessions. The three provinces are nothing to them. Yes, but the important thing is that we will definitely station our army there. The three provinces with more than one million square kilometers can support us to build millions of army, which is a huge threat to them. So they want to talk to us about some economic issues. This year, a cold wave broke out in the northwestern part of the Western Empire. Tens of millions of people were starved to death. If this problem cannot be solved, it is estimated that their losses will be even greater. They hope that we can give them some benefits in exchange for these three provinces." Wu Zuoxi knew that the people of the Western Empire would not be so easy to talk. Now the fleet on the river has come out, and their force is the main condition for them to come out, but It’s a very good thing that the people of the Western Empire didn’t take any action against them. They would all do something like this. After hearing this, Li felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Damn, dozens of them. If the provinces need to give you food all the time, that’s not a small amount. Your abacus is really good, but if you don’t do this, the development of the three provinces is not that easy. Now that this is the case, just give it to them. Li Cong nodded and let Wu Zuoxi breathe a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Li would never agree to this matter. If this were the case, the war might continue.

"Don’t be like that. In fact, things are not as bad as you think. Just pay some food. Our food is already very large. According to the information given to us by the Western Empire, we have done research. That is to say, there are 3 billion people who need our food, and it is enough to give them one month. The Western Empire is not for us in vain. Some slaves in their country can be sold to us, yes. , You may not know this. When the Western Empire captured the land of the Southern Empire, it captured about 20 million Vietnamese people. These people did not recognize them in the Southern Empire, nor did they recognize them. The days are very miserable. These 20 million people are the price that the Western Empire paid us this time. If a slave is five taels of silver, there will be 100 million silver, although it is not proportional to the food we paid. It’s a gain. We are about to build a large-scale defense system for the three provinces. These people are all in great need, at least for now, they can help us do a lot of things. , And we don’t even need to pay them, just need to give them a meal. This is the advantage of using slaves. Maybe you don’t like such things, but who can tell these people now? Good or bad, they used to be like this, and the Yue people are really pitiful.” Wu Zuoxi’s mouth appeared in the Yue people, and Li had never heard of this before. Most of the people on this planet They are all feudal societies, so how can there be people living in slave society? Since they are so backward, they are naturally not the opponents of these people outside. It is for this reason that they all do things in this way. Up.

"Wait, what's the matter with this Yue people? Why doesn't anyone want them? So what do they usually use?

The identity survived?Wasn't it all in the territory of the Southern Empire before?As far as I know, there are hundreds of ethnic groups in the Southern Empire

Yes, why would they not accept this nation?"Li Cong said strangely. He was thinking about

Considering other questions, if these people can be put away as their own army, can they be better than the current one?

Some people have high fighting power, because single-celled people have always had the strongest fighting power on the battlefield, because they won’t

In his thoughts, it seems that his own people can really rise quickly, and he must never give up this opportunity.

When Wu Zuoxi saw Li Cong's eyes, he knew what this guy was thinking.Of course, he himself is in Li

When I talked about these things from the front of me, I was also thinking about it like this. It’s just that these Yue people are gathered together.

It’s not that easy, because they haven’t had a good place to recuperate since ancient times. Inside the four empires

There are people of the Yue ethnic group. If their numbers are added up, it is definitely an astonishing number, which is why

In this way, the talents of the four empires do not allow them to be together.Because they only know their nation.There is no country at all

Concept, such a person can still regard them as a good person?A good citizen?Unless our brains

There is a problem. If it weren't, we wouldn't do such a thing.All of them thought about it

Of these things.They are not stupid either.Of course they understand how to do things, they don’t want the Yue people to build

Those who have established a large country will not have a better life in the future.Absolutely not.

"I guess you don’t understand anything about the Yue people. I’ll tell you. The Yue people are one of the people on the road.

Nationality, the total number of them is estimated to be around 30 billion, but these people are not so powerful or so sick.

It can be said that some of them are bullied, mainly because they will not accept some new things, so they also

There will be a lot of people bullying them, and there is a gathering point for them in the area we occupy. Most of these people

The points were taken away by the people of the Western Empire. I thought we would start a series of pruning projects in the three newly occupied provinces.

This requires a lot of manpower to do this, so it’s only necessary for them to help.

It’s not bad to become an army, but they don’t do anything to people of their own nation, and they don’t care about it.

It’s not decapitating. For this reason, people from the four empires don’t want to contact them.

Some people just listen to them, but these Yue people don’t think like that. They think about their own nation.

How can the people of the four empires be willing to make them stronger? If these tens of billions of Vietnamese people are all together

If so, it is estimated that the empire they formed is very powerful."Wu Zuoxi is concise and concise with some non-Yue people

It was told to Li Cong, Li Cong thought that these people are the same as the Jews on the earth, and these people are also the whole world.

No place in the world is theirs, but they are all very smart. It seems that I have to try these people.

Because of their national unity, many people are unwilling to buy Vietnamese slaves. In their opinion

These people are definitely not easy to use, but it is very good for these people to think about it one by one.

"This is something that can be used. Tell the Western Empire that we will agree with them. These Vietnamese people

If they still have a lot, we will buy it with them. This is absolutely no problem, as long as they have me,

We'll all get it. Just do it right away, don't be too slow, and it's all for us this time

The Jianghe escort boat will be modified once. I will let the technical department do the specific things. You just need to cooperate.

You’re right. There are indeed too many problems in this war, and now we need to find out a little bit.

If we can do these things well, I believe there will be no such things next time, and it is me

We have developed a new type of super serial crossbow. I believe that such a thing is very useful to us. If it is made

If it is good, it can be said to be very good in the future. Of course, you can all put forward your own opinions."

Li Cong walked out while talking. After a failure, he didn’t want to continue to lead Cao’s firm.

I’m not in a good mood now. If the entire Cao’s house is to be led by myself, Nanmian will be a teacher.

It’s better to take a rest for a while. Anyway, Cao’s firm can live well after leaving.

Daily, let's talk about it.The biggest thing recently is the aftermath of the war with the Western Empire, except for this.

It’s something he needs to take care of. Li Cong feels that he needs to practice well for a while, and the system doesn’t have it.

After completing this task, Li Cong has stopped redeeming it for a while. This thing is like this.

What a partiality, if there are no such things in front of him, Li Cong really wants to study it.

Just like Wu Zuoxi and the others said, the Yue people not only have no status in the Western Empire.Just to gather with those wastelands

The people who gather are not as good as they are.Because according to the laws and regulations of the four empires, the Yue people do not

The right of the surname, if a normal person kills a Vietnamese, he just needs to pay a certain fine.on

If you have no money.The government will not arrest you.Because these people know very well that the roots of the Yue ethnic group

It can't be regarded as human, the farmer's cattle are much more important than him.If you kill the farmer’s cattle

I caught you. Such things are nothing new in the entire empire. People in the Western Empire heard about Cao Jiashang.

The people in the business are going to buy the Vietnamese people in their territory. They are also dumbfounded. The people in the Cao’s business are all very

Understand, want to use these people to form an army?Stop joking, if you dare to arm these people,

It is estimated that you will be the first one they will overthrow. These people are not stupid. They will only be with their Vietnamese people.

Together, if you let them assemble an army, they won’t listen to you in the end, it will definitely give

The people of Cao’s House of Business brought huge losses, but the people of Cao’s House of Business are not stupid.

What?Do they already know how to master these Yue people?But they don’t have time to investigate these things.

In their treaty with Cao’s House of Business, it was said that these Vietnamese people must be handed over to the people of Cao’s House of Business, but

It is absolutely impossible to continue the purchase, but although the official doesn’t say anything, the private transaction begins.

Now, those slave traders won't care about such things, because the profits are really not small, they will do it.

If you buy a Vietnamese slave in an ordinary city, this old man is only two taels of silver at most.

Yes, if this adult is a mature man, it is estimated that he will have ten taels of silver, but the people from Cao’s house offered fifteen taels of silver.

The price, 50% of the profit, can be delivered directly to any institution of the local Cao’s house.

Why don’t you do things? The slave traders all took the Vietnamese people in their hands to the trading location of Cao’s house.

Now, even some people with only a few slaves in the family have also passed by. When they bought them at the beginning, they cost very little.

Silver, now they will do this one by one, it is indeed possible to gather these people together.

It’s troublesome, but Li has genetic medicine from there, as long as he has mastered some of them.

The most important thing is to master the strong people they are. They are people who are controlled by the Cao family firm to do something.

Love, other people will definitely follow, so that the people from Cao’s house have mastered the Yue people, they

Don’t you see only your own nation? When your nation is doing things with the old, you too

It’s not a fool. You will definitely follow suit. Then the army of the Vietnamese people will be so united on the battlefield.

Yes, it’s definitely much better than other armies. Li Cong’s idea is understandable. Everyone needs to use one.

Che’s methods have strengthened themselves a lot. Of course, the people in the Western Empire would not have thought that Li Cong would have something like that. They wanted

It’s not so easy to join in your spies, because the Vietnamese people will not have a traitor.

The point is that other ethnic groups are more shocked, such a thing cannot happen to a second ethnic group.

After this war, because the debts of the Western Empire had not been resolved, the Western Empire had to figure out its own solution.

The imperial court began to do things that it was afraid to do before.This year, the Western Empire has about 1.360 billion debts due,

Coupled with huge interest rates, the Western Empire needs to pay approximately 3.020 billion silver to Cao’s House of Business this year. This is only the Western Empire’s

Regarding the government, the Western Empire naturally didn’t know where to get so much silver.

People stepped up again to give them advice. The people from Cao’s house were not plotting anything else this time, it turned out to be from the Western Empire.

As a magistrate, in fact, the people of Cao’s firm started to plot this very early. When an empire has nothing to do

When running.All they have to do at this time is to start buying and selling officials.This is also an empire that can quickly obtain gold

It’s the money’s way. According to the contract with Cao’s House of Business, if the people of the Western Empire cannot pay the debts on time, he

Our collateral in the hands of Cao's House of Business will become Cao's House of Business.These mortgages are some of the more important things

.It must not be lost.This is what Cao’s House of Business wants to tell the court of the Western Empire. What they have to do is

It was for them to sell the seat of the city lord of the Western Empire. At this time, the senior officials of the Western Empire knew it was a huge

Trapped.But they can’t do anything, they can only listen honestly, if they don’t give the money

If they come out, they may lose more. The emperor of the Western Empire still doesn’t believe why he owes Cao.

With so much silver in the house, the government's tax revenue is not in his own hands. In the past, it was 15 taxes and 1 tax.

Now it seems that tax increases are about to start, and they must be restructured into one-tenth of the current tax, which is not low.

Such things as selling officials must be carefully planned by someone. The senior officials of the Western Empire are not stupid, the Western Emperor.

The emperor of the country organized a special committee called a fundraising committee, and 30% of the people in it were accepted by Cao’s family firm.

The 5 million taels of silver bills were issued. Naturally, they strongly approve of this matter. Many people in the court have said

In fact, if you want to say that selling officials may have too much influence on the entire empire, it is better to sell some titles directly.

This thing is said to be an honorary title, but this incident has encountered a large number of nobles including the imperial emperor.

The opposition, officials can be sold, and all have their own years, as long as nothing happens within this period

For love, you can come back sooner or later, but the title is different. The worst title is also for life.

To say that if a knight rank sells for 5 million taels of silver, then he will be a knight in his entire generation.

With a royal salary of 60,000 taels of silver, he can get his books back in eighty fucking years, ordinary people are

It can be one hundred and fifty years old. This is a very easy task, but an official position is different, just like

Just like a county magistrate, for a three-year term, 500,000 taels of silver is enough. This position will belong to you within three years, even if it is

No matter how you scrape the land, the money will still be returned to the court. They also stipulate how you are in your territory

Making money is your own business, but it is part of the imperial court. There must be absolutely no lack of anything.

If you don’t do this well, you can get out of here at any time. Li Cong can only be pitiful when he sees this.

The common people, a good day turned out to be like this, and they will not be well.

The fundraising committee of the Western Empire has a total of twelve people, and these twelve guys passed the election of officials unanimously.

Although the new method requires a certain examination compared with the previous time, there is another part besides the examination part.

That is the money to the Western Empire. This must not be called out so blatantly. If it is called out like that

If they come, it is estimated that the people will rise up and rebel. The officials don’t need anything like talent, they just need money.

That's it. If this is the case, those who are rich will definitely go to be officials, so there are also some regulations, such as

It is said that as long as you become an official, then business matters must be stopped, no matter how you do it, these things

Love needs to be done well, and exams must also be passed.In fact, this is what they put on themselves

It’s just a fig leaf. Everyone knows that this thing is not that simple. If you can take this thing

If it is done well, silver will not be used. Many people understand that as long as some things are mixed with silver, this

It’s not that you can solve it as you want. Everyone understands that if the exam fails,

Just send silver directly online.As long as the silver arrives, what else can it do?And the price is also out

Up.The 25 officials below the county magistrate are all 40,000 taels of silver for three years, and the county magistrate and the county magistrate are each 300,000 taels a year.

It takes three years to buy it, although there is not so much oil and water in a county.But some people who want to be officials

There are so many.Even if they spend so little money as a county grandfather, they are all enjoyable.This is nothing

To be honest, such a thing immediately received a huge following in the Western Empire.

The plan of the Western Empire was originally planned to be completed in three months, but they did not expect such a hot event to happen.The wealthy people in the Western Empire started going crazy directly. What a joke, in the past, if you want to run a county magistrate, you need millions of silver. You must know how there are dozens of people under a county magistrate. Ten thousand people, of course, it would be different if the imperial examinations were obtained. The imperial examinations still have their own abilities, and they can definitely bring out a lot of people to the court. It is for this reason. The people above all began to step up to do this one by one. The Western Empire sold a total of about 500 billion silver in official positions. Of course, they were all low-level official positions. The people in the Western Empire were not stupid, just like they were. Within the scope of a county, all the former officials have become deputies, or become consultants. Their task is to watch them here. They must not cause any major problems in the empire. The empire Although silver is needed, the entire empire should not be messed up because of the silver problem. Besides, the Western Empire did not open up all the official positions of the entire empire. He just did some small area experiments, even if it was. This still brought so much silver, which surprised many people. Li Cong was not very surprised about this, because people in this era are similar to those on earth, and they all want to be human. People, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Although this is relatively backward on this planet, it is undeniable that politicians are always better than businessmen at any time, and these businessmen now understand this truth. , So they all think that they can become officials. This is what they want.

In fact, it is not only the Western Empire, the other two empires will also fall into economic crisis because they have to repay the loan from the Cao’s House of Business. Although the situation in the Eastern Empire may be better, it’s not much better. The Eastern Empire borrowed money. The total number is also relatively large. Of course, the Eastern Empire’s loans were mainly spent on the navy. Now the Eastern Empire’s navy can be said to be the most powerful navy apart from Cao’s fleet. They use double sails. The speed of the ship is also very fast. It is already much faster than the naval ships of the other two empires, but it is still very difficult to compete with the warships of the Cao’s family. They are not like that. Skilled, but many people in the Cao’s Commercial Firm also understand that the Eastern Empire had attached great importance to matters in the sea before. It was impossible for them to stop the expansion of the navy. Since it cannot be prevented, we will do the wrong thing. Just come and make a good profit. The shipyard of Caojia Commercial Bank uses assembly line operation, so it is several times faster than other shipyards. In addition, Li Cong got it more or less. Some mechanical problems, so his shipyard received more than 30% of the order from the Eastern Empire Navy. As for the Zhanbow thing, the Cao’s merchant did not do it. The profit of that thing is too pitiful, although There are a lot of things, but Li Cong is not very willing to do things with a small profit. Besides, he also needs to give others a way to survive. He can't do everything by himself. This is also not in line with his life. According to the rules, many things need to leave a way for others. Otherwise, who will cooperate with you in the future, but his control of the economy has left no retreat for anyone.This is true whether it is the three major empires or other strengths.

At this time, the Cao’s family firm has its own business. First of all, Li Cong discovered the current organization problem. Although the organization will become more flexible after simplifying the organization, Li Cong discovered that some heavy firepower is not acceptable. Now Li Cong It is prepared to add an additional fire support platoon to each company. The entire platoon is divided into five squads, each with ten people, and ten people control two super serial crossbows. They must fully support the war when fighting.This time the war also showed itself.The thing that kills the largest number of enemies is not a cannon or something. The sound is indeed not small, and it also caused fear of the enemy, but the actual effect is not as good as the super serial crossbow.This thing kills the most enemies.So Li Cong let the people on the other side of the earth make the second generation of serial crossbow.In the first generation, such a thing could only fire less than ten crossbow arrows in one minute. The second generation used more advanced technology, not only the rate of fire was faster.Moreover, the range is also very good. In the test, it can reach 80 to 100 per minute. If it is maintained at 80, there is absolutely no problem. If it is 100, it needs to be fired 1000 times and some parts need to be replaced. This is mainly It is also because this thing is not omnipotent, it requires a certain amount of maintenance. If there is no maintenance for anything, there are many things that can’t be obtained. They all know this very well. For Li Cong to establish The plan to increase the firepower of the platoon is very much in favor of the military. Some people who participated in the war this time have also seen clearly that they do have many shortcomings in the super serial crossbow, and they are too scattered. , If it can be combined, it will definitely not be the current situation, but with this thing, the consumption of crossbow arrows will also be very powerful, and it seems that the manufacturing of crossbow arrows will continue to be increased.

In this war, Li has transported 3 billion crossbow arrows, and there are almost less than 200 million left. It can be said how many crossbow arrows have been used. The war calculation department also said that killing a soldier of the Southern Empire almost requires It’s only possible to launch dozens of crossbow arrows. It’s no wonder that in some wars on the earth that year, it took hundreds of bullets to kill an enemy. These are all hard-selling, not at all. It may be something that can be solved in a short time. Everyone here understands that Li Cong can only be transported in large quantities from some ordnance factories in the south. The Western Empire and his own problems seem to be both on the surface. It is resolved. In fact, people on both sides are very clear in their hearts. Not to mention the word resolution, it is simply that they have not reached an agreement. The reason for the truce now is because both sides need their own internal rectification. If it is their own internal If they are not so stable, there will be greater turmoil in the future. The Western Empire still believes that war is an important way for them to pay off their debts. In their opinion, it would be true if they repay the debts honestly. It’s too difficult. They didn’t borrow money before, but now it’s different. Now they borrow almost everything, which makes them feel very uncomfortable, but they are already I like this day. In addition to their government, some people in the private sector also like it. This has caused some false economic prosperity. But if they still don’t like it, what they mortgaged in the beginning would be nothing. If nothing is left, the people of Cao’s house may become their masters. The people of Cao’s house will not do any loss-making business. The people of Cao’s house have collateral, and so does the Western Empire government. In this way, as long as there is no money, everything is free.

The turmoil on the southern empire side and the capital side has subsided. Li Yun and Min De have met again, but Min De is not as comfortable as before. He is now just like the defeated person. This is no wonder, because he saw the sinister intentions of the Southern Empire, but there is no way it can be?What can he do? He can only wait for the end to be honest. If he could see it a long time ago, the firm might not have suffered so much loss. This time, the material loss is the second most important thing. The main loss is mental loss. This is the most important thing. Many people feel that Cao’s family members are ashamed. It is indeed like this. Two consecutive wars have brought such an ending. It can be said that this has not failed, but it is not very good for them. It can almost be said that it ran out. Cao’s business in the Western Empire did not cause any damage. This can still make Minde feel better. One point, Li Yun has made a lot of limelight on the front line. This young man has officially arrived on this planet and has entered the upper class society of this planet. However, I still don’t understand some of the ways of doing things here. In fact, if the people from Cao’s House of Trade started offensive from the sea, there would be very good consequences. When he said it, Min De told him that if the people of Cao’s House of Trade were really the same as in the Southern Empire If this is the case, things may be even more troublesome, and the people of Cao’s House of Business may be victorious at the beginning, but the more they fight, the less stamina will be, because the people of Cao’s House of Business do not have a position in the Western Empire, and there is no such thing. In the case of the base, there is no way to provide some things. In the end, everything may become empty. In the end, it is them who fail.

The navy of the Western Empire may be the first department destroyed in this war. After the war, the emperor of the Western Empire removed all the senior navy officials, no matter what you did before, but now As long as you are a member of the navy, get out of it right away. In this war, the navy can be said to be the most useless department of the Western Empire. Many generals have proposed to abolish the navy. They think that the navy is not needed. , But the emperor of the Western Empire is not a fool. He knows why the people of the Eastern Empire are stronger than theirs. The most important thing is that the people of the Eastern Empire worked very hard at sea, that is, because of this, They can obtain resources that the Western Empire cannot obtain. In fact, the four empires on the mainland are similar in population and area, and the degree of economic development may vary greatly, but one thing is certain, that is the navy. It’s very important. If you want to go to sea, you must have your own army. Otherwise, if you find something on the sea, you will immediately become someone else’s. This thing changed after the Southern Empire’s navy discovered a small island. It’s even more powerful. This small island used to be an uninhabited island, but the people of the Southern Empire discovered a gold mine on it, a huge gold mine. Li Cong also visited this small island. At least there are Hundreds of millions of taels of gold, of course, the people of Cao’s House of Business would not have to go over and grab this place for this little money, and it’s too close to the Southern Empire. Such a thing would make the Southern Empire. Shang Xia was very disgusted with himself, and he would never do such a thing. This also made the people of the Western Empire even more convinced that they must expand this matter. They must have their own navy, if they do not have their own navy. If I found out that this is not my own.

The most depressing thing about the Western Empire now is how to build a navy without silver in his hands. The best thing he has to do is to get silver. For the Vietnamese people, this is the best way they want to get rich now. Now, all of them will be sent to the people of Cao's House of Business. Let's see how they deal with it. If this can make them difficult, these things would be the best.(To be continued...)
