Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

If there is no food, the morale of the army and the people will be unstable, and the entire Fushan Mountain will be a tree without roots. No problem is more important than the food problem.

"Of course the cost is more than that. More than 1 stones are enough for two months. Now there are a large number of war horses and draft horses, and the required fine materials are not a small amount."

Mentioning this, Zhang Shouren was also a little frowning, and said to the old shopkeeper: "For the time being, I can only spend so much money, and I just hope that when the price of grain falls, I can hoard hundreds of thousands of shi!"

Now Zhang Shouren's monthly income is about 11 taels of silver. Raising soldiers, raising officials, and common people repairing projects, these salary expenses are quite a lot, plus the needs of weapons, medical halls and schools, Zhong Xian, etc. So far, almost all the money Zhang Shouren earned has been spent on the budget of the treasurer. This God of Wealth, who is making money every day, has almost no money on hand.

Lin Wenyuan brought a meeting ticket of [-] silver when he went to the capital, and finally returned with less than [-] silver. [

Xue Guoguan spent [-] yuan for a single move, and [-] yuan was used for the management of the mansion. It was also used [-] yuan to make friends with officials from Zhongshan, the capital, and to open up the relationship between the Ministry of War and the Dudu Mansion. fees and more.

What is needed to buy horses is 8 taels, plus the expenses for recruiting and training, Zhang Shouren's small coffers are already clean and tidy, and this sum of money for grain purchases should be put in advance by Lifengxing, and Zhang Shouren's money will arrive in August. After the account is paid, it will be transferred to Li & Fung Bank.

"Increase revenue and reduce expenditure, increase revenue and reduce expenditure..."

Facing the frowning two people in front of him, Zhang Shouren also tapped his fingers on the table, muttering incessantly.

This money is easy to earn, but it is like a torrent of money to spend it. With a bang, the money is gone.

Next, he will build an invincible artillery and firearms unit, re-equip the infantry unit, equip all the armor, and re-install the long guns. Ideally, there is still a huge fleet to be built. The cost is even more Astronomical figures.

You must know that the current standard for a first-class ship in Europe is one hundred artillery pieces. Zhang Shouren does not have this kind of technology and financial resources now, but it is completely feasible to improve Fuchuan and build a standard warship with 34 to 48 artillery pieces.

A cannon costs only a few hundred taels, and a warship requires dozens of cannons, plus the shipbuilders and craftsmen, and the rigging required.

This is simply an astronomical figure!

"I can only see walking..."

In front of Lin Wenyuan and Mr. Li, there were some things that he couldn't say too much, but Zhang Shouren's expression suddenly brightened, and his heart was also broad-minded.

From a poor family with no 100 taels of silver, to the present situation, what else can be difficult for me?

It's nothing more than thinking of ways, breaking down tricks when you see them, and walking when you see them.

"Yes, the old man has seen Guohua look like this more than once." The old shopkeeper stroked his chin beard and said with a long smile: "It's a big deal, Guohua saw it, and that's the same look. Regarding the food, the old man thinks Guohua will definitely be able to solve it.”

"The old shopkeeper is flattering you. However, this time we are here, we really have something to ask for."

Zhang Shouren nodded, and then Lin Wenyuan followed, speaking very clearly, and after a while, he told the old man in front of him everything about the capital and his decision to go to Laiwu.
