I open a restaurant in Daqin

Chapter 423 National Difficulty
"General, don't act recklessly. There are some things that the king has no power to do, and there is nothing he can do about them!"

"I did some calculations at the beginning. As far as the expenses of this winter are concerned, although I have saved a treasury of millions of gold due to many things before, but now, I am afraid that it will be empty."

"Although the national treasury is huge, there are many available places, and it cannot be turned around. I'm afraid it's not good to bother the king because of these things now!"

Chen Ting's voice sounded, and he persuaded Wang Ben.

"Millions of gold, what kind of amount is that? If you say it's exhausted, it will be exhausted? Is the treasury of my Great Qin can't help being depleted like this?"

Wang Ben said angrily!
"Have you ever thought about it, general, this year alone, our Lishan camp has allocated a total of [-] gold for military pay, armaments, and various military supplies!"

"In addition to my Lishan Camp, there are also the Lantian Camp, Liyang Camp, Yongcheng Camp, Hangu Pass Camp, and other military camps, as well as those border guards."

"If you want to arrange all the military supplies for this winter alone, it will almost cost a million dollars!"

"It's because the national treasury is much looser this year. If it was in previous years, the general still remembers that the soldiers were trembling during training and didn't even get a good night's sleep at night. Your Majesty has really tried his best to achieve this step!"

"Look at those civilian laborers. Last winter, let alone wearing clothes, all of them were working shirtless. Those who have some conditions at home may be able to send some things over. Those who don't have conditions, basically just do it. There are many people who are exhausted and frozen to death. This year is considered good!"

"At least, under the mobilization of the king, they can still have some clothes to keep out the cold. If they go to force the king now, there is nothing the king can do!"

Qin Yong and Wu Ya stood outside the tent, looking at Wang Ben who was pacing back and forth with an anxious expression on his face, and Chen Ting with a dignified expression.

When Chen Ting spoke, his face was full of disappointment and helplessness.

"So, there is no other way?"

"Your Majesty can't find them. Do you really want to watch those peasants die of exhaustion and cold?"

Wang Ben gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"There is really no other way, General, what we can do is to minimize casualties!"

Chen Ting shook his head and sighed.

"How to reduce casualties, tell me!"

Wang Ben looked at Chen Ting speechlessly, as if he was a little disgusted by Chen Ting's words.

After all, how can we reduce casualties?

"General, I've thought and thought, and it's not the way to go on like this. If possible, I hope the general can dispatch some soldiers to go up the mountain to collect firewood, and at the same time collect as much game as possible!"

"Those folks don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes to wear. If I can improve their food a little bit, rest at night, and have more bonfires to keep warm, maybe some losses can be recovered!"

"It's just that the Lishan Camp has the rules of the Lishan Camp. If the sergeants don't train and instead do these things, they will inevitably be criticized again. General, think about it and see how to make a choice!"

Chen Ting cupped his hands again and said in a deep voice.

"Gathering firewood, catching wild game?"

"Well, this is a way!"

Hearing this, Wang Ben pondered for a while, but nodded in agreement with this method, and said: "Nowadays, most of the mountains are hibernating. It takes a little effort, but it is not tender to catch!"

"But you are right. Those people in the court do not have the ability to fight tough battles, but when it comes to the ability to make trouble behind this, they are really not small!"

While speaking, Wang Ben thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's do it this way, I want to see who dares to make trouble. If you don't accept it, come to me, I, Wang Ben, will resist!"

As he said that, Wang Ben waved his hand and sent an order: "Chen Ting, you will divide the [-] troops into two teams later, and let them compete with me. No matter what the competition is, it's up to them. The [-] won, Continue to practice. If you lose, go up the mountain to collect firewood and catch game. If you can’t meet the requirements, you won’t be allowed to eat when you come back!”

Chen Ting's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but glance at Wang Ben with admiration.

He has always admired Wang Ben, not because of how powerful Wang Ben is, but because of Wang Ben's responsibility.

Many things, as long as Wang Ben thinks it is right, he will do it without hesitation.

Although he was punished again and again by the general Wang Jian because of this character, Wang Ben still said that if he can't change it, he can't change it.

"No, this subordinate will do it now!"

Chen Ting agreed with his hands, turned around abruptly, but saw Qin Yong and Wu Ya standing outside.

"Mr. Xuan Wen?"

Chen Ting yelled in surprise.

Inside, Wang Ben also turned his head to look over. He couldn't help being taken aback, and hurried forward to meet him, frowning and said, "Why is Xuan Wenjun here? Is it not good to rest in the barracks?"

Qin Yong waved his hand, walked in with a smile, and said: "No, I just have something on my mind and I want to finish it first, so why don't I come to see General Wang Ben? I happened to see General Wang Ben talking with General Chen Ting , it’s inconvenient to disturb, so I stood outside and waited, shouldn’t it be regarded as eavesdropping on secrets?”

Wang Ben laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, Mr. Xuanwen, are you kidding me? How can there be any secrets?"

"Didn't Xuan Wenjun propose to see the construction project of Lishan King's Mausoleum last night? I just heard this, and I know a little more about it than Xuan Wenjun did!"

"Not everyone is willing to see this project site. Is Mr. Xuan Wen going to see it now?"

While speaking, Wang Ben looked at Qin Yong solemnly.

For some reason, Qin Yong saw a glint of hope in his eyes.

Yes, it is the light of hope.

It has to be said that this death occurs every year, and this year seems to be more severe.

Just now Wang Ben and Chen Ting talked for a long time, but there was no solution at all.

But seeing Qin Yong at this moment, he seemed to see hope.

Although Wang Ben had never met Qin Yong before, others didn't know Qin Yong, but he did.

Based on his relationship with Qin Wangzheng, Qin Wangzheng attached great importance to it, so naturally he would not hide many things.

This Great Qin was originally in an endless predicament, and the treasury was extremely empty, but it was able to recover overnight, and it was even more redundant.

Others don't know what's going on, but Wang Ben knows that this is Qin Yong's masterpiece.

The Xuan paper books of the Zhuangyuan Building gave Daqin countless assets when he was in extreme difficulty, and instantly reversed Daqin's financial emptiness.

It was Qin Yong who, with a few random thoughts, let Da Qin get out of all kinds of disadvantages.

Not much to say, but there seems to be no financial crisis that this person can't solve.

If this person is willing to help, maybe this trouble can really be solved.

"General Wang Ben, to tell you the truth, Qin Yong is here for those civilian husbands, prisoners and other laborers!"

"You don't know, two days ago, the king decided to rebuild the Zhuangyuan Building for Qin Yong, and dispatched ten thousand prison laborers from Lishan to Xianyang to build the Zhuangyuan Building. Seeing their appearance at that time, Qin Yong's heart ached! "
