Chapter thirteen, the emperor and ministers stay entertained(2/2)
How many people can wear armor, and how many can be trained? If I really believe what you say, I will suffer a big loss... But then again, how can I believe you? We have been together for a long time, why do you two need to be in front of me?
Playing this trick?"
Zhang and Han were almost ashamed.
"The officials should not criticize the two lieutenants harshly." Lu Haowen finally spoke up at the right time. "In the current situation, Han and Zhang are capable of fighting, and the two lieutenants did not steal the money themselves. The following is
From the commander to the commander, right up to the captain of the team, no one will be better off... The country's military and political corruption is a malady accumulated over a hundred years. Relatively speaking, the two lieutenants can always fight!"
"Of course I know, otherwise why would I be honest with them?" Zhao Jiu still didn't care. "I'm not forcing them to do anything, I'm just telling them clearly about the country's difficulties."
Just as Zhang and Han were about to speak again, Lu Haowen and Xu Jingheng next to him spoke seriously again:
"Officials, there are actually only two ways to go about this matter...one is to increase taxes in the southeast and increase taxes in Jingxiang, and the other is to raise fewer soldiers...that's all."
Zhao Jiu fell silent, and all the ministers and lieutenants below also fell silent... In fact, this is also a cliché. Even after Lu Yihao arrived in Yangzhou this time, he directly sent a strategy to increase military pay in the southeast and Huaihe Rivers.
, because he knew a long time ago that if he wanted to raise soldiers, he could only raise taxes. Otherwise, with the tax revenue that was severely damaged after Jingkang, he was destined to not be able to support so many soldiers.
After a long time, Zhao Guanjia just laughed and said: "The Jin Army's east and west routes have a standard number of 200,000 households. If we don't have 200,000 soldiers, how can we defend ourselves against the enemy?"
Many people below instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, because they knew that this sentence was the most important sentence today.
"But if this is the case, we can only support it by promising to increase taxes in the southeast and increase taxes in Jingxiang..." Zhao Jiu really said this, but continued in the throne room. "And I call all the princes to come over today.
Not only do I want to determine the number of troops for each of you, and divide the northwest war horses, but I also don’t want to talk about fake Qi... I really don’t take these things seriously. What I want to do is to calculate this clearly in front of you.
Account!"
Having said this, Zhao Guanjia, who was dressed in a red robe, suddenly stood up from the throne, and then faced each other sternly: "I hope you princes will remember that there are some things that I have to endure, but this does not mean that these things are right. I will tolerate them in the future.
The first is! And what you eat and use are all from the southeast, Jingxiang, Bashu, and Huaihe people. If people rebel in the future, you can attack or cut them down, but you must remember clearly that they were forced out by you and me.
!This is the second one!”
After saying this, Zhao Jiu turned around and walked out of the side door without waiting for the lieutenants to kneel down to apologize.
Chapter completed!
