Lu Yihao said all the things, so the generals below naturally wanted to give face. They all raised their anger from their stomachs and agreed with a loud bang! The General Office that was discussing the matter was buzzing.

Lu Daxuan also smiled on his face and sat down behind the scenes. He stretched out his hands and signaled everyone to sit down too.

"You are all old generals who have been favored by the emperor for a long time. Many of them have received favors from the emperor for the world and share the same ties with the Song Dynasty. This time, I believe you will not disappoint the officials and the people of the world... I am inseparable from the Hejian Mansion. If I send troops to resist the thief in the east, I will ask you."

Lu Yihao spoke kindly, but the generals who had just sat down were all expressionless. Although everyone wanted to pat him for a good job of Lu Daxuan's flattery, there were still some battles for the next battle!

Therefore, the people below must be comforted and have an explanation... Those who should be promoted will be rewarded, and those who should be rewarded will be rewarded. Some people who have been hungry for too long have to make others greedy!

Otherwise, if you are full of resentment and go to the battlefield, it will be a trivial matter if you don’t fight well. If you mutiny and turn against each other, the trouble will be great.

Moreover, the new army was famous for its strict system and low oil and water. The new army of the Song Dynasty also copied the Zhou army in many systems. The standardized battalion and the rotation system of officers have all the officers, except for the few officers who rely on the chief, most of the officers must be rotated regularly.

The eighteen officials of the first battalion have to change every three years, which is difficult to develop personal power. It is not easy to eat the vacancy and deduct military pay. At most, it is done with some money on military rations, but it can't make a few small money. Moreover, there are generals and deputy generals above. How can the officers of the battalion below deduct too much?

In addition, the Song Dynasty also formulated a system of censorship and military supervision more than ten years ago! Although there have been changes now, it has been generally retained.

However, the censor will not station in the army regularly, but will inspect it regularly. The main purpose is to check the accounts! These censors are all Jinshis and are not in the same system as the new army officers, so they checked hard, and it was difficult for the officers in the battalion leading the troops to make trouble...

I have no oil and no future on weekdays. Now I have finally survived until the war, but can I still slap my big knife and slaughter it hard?

Lu Yihao looked at everyone with a smile, and then called Zhang Jun, the general army officer of the Xuanfusi Department: "Deyuan..."

"Subordinate is here."

"Have the generals handed over the letter of recommendation and reward book?"

"It has been handed over..."

Seeing Zhang Jun a little hesitant, Lu Yihao frowned, "What's wrong? Not all of them have been collected yet?"

"It's all collected," Zhang Jun said immediately, "but there are a lot of things that need to be found. More than 300 people are recommended to be transferred, and the reward reserves are 200,000 yuan per battalion."

"The first battalion needs to prepare 200,000?" Lu Yihao frowned.

It’s okay to recommend more than 300 officials. Most of these officials should have been given a long time ago, but they were suppressed just to sharpen the spirit of new officers. Now they are going to the battlefield, how can they not give it?

But the reserves of 200,000 yuan in the first battalion are a bit extorted!

The military officers from the Song Dynasty, a country of scholars and officials, did things more like merchants than the military leader of the country of tyrants on the opposite side!

In their opinion, war is just a business that can make a fortune, right?

Don’t you really know where they used the Book of Saints in the Martial Arts Palace to read?

What I thought in my heart, but I still had to smile and deal with it.

Because he also knew that the generals who could do business in the Song Dynasty were not only the generals! The officials below the battalion and the big-headed soldiers at the bottom were all businessmen.

The generals are big contractors, the battalion team below is small contractors, and the big head soldiers are small workers.

Bargaining layer by layer... The so-called civil officials who know the military are good at bargaining, knowing when to use thunder means and when to coax a merchant below."

It was already hurting people's hearts when I threw the blame for "unleashing border provocations". If I suppressed it too hard now, the people below would be really out of energy and there would be no need to fight this battle.

"The first battalion is 200,000 yuan, and more than 50 battalions are 10 million..." Lu Yihao said, "The Xuanfu Department does not have that much money, so I have to find a way to the Transport Department. The Hebei Cao Department is not in Hejian Prefecture, but in Daming Prefecture. The general can send the documents requested for money to Daming Prefecture, but the Daming Prefecture cannot send the money so quickly.

Otherwise, each battalion will bring 50,000 yuan on the road first, and the remaining money will be given immediately when the remaining money arrives."

Zhang Jun, who was beside him, shook his head at the same time after hearing this. However, Lu Yihao just pretended not to see it, and just looked at Qu Duan with a smile.

Qu Duan was a person who liked to stand out, so he stood up and said, "Shisan Xuan agreed to us, then we had nothing to say. When we went back, we ordered the men to go out. However, 50,000 yuan was not much... One soldier would have to be given 5 yuan, and the officer would have to be given 20 to 30 yuan. One battalion would have to be paid 5 yuan!

In addition, you have to buy some wine and meat to take it on the road, and you have to buy some private livestock vehicles, and you have to spend a little repairing equipment. If you loosen your hands, you can spend ten thousand pieces of money!"

Lu Yihao knew that ten thousand pieces were not enough!

There are 18 officers in the first battalion, and if each person is divided into 500 pieces, there will be 9,000 pieces... But the money is divided into in accordance with the rules and cannot be said on the surface.

But it’s not OK to be distinguished. Everyone has today and tomorrow, so don’t you leave some foundation for your family?

The officers of the new army of the Song Dynasty did not have a manor at home!

"I know, I know," Lv Yihao smiled, "I am not the first day in charge of soldiers, why don't I know the rules in the army? As long as I can stop Zhou Bing, will the officials still be reluctant to give up some money?"

With Lu Yihao's guarantee, all the generals were relieved. All the ten generals and masters were out of the line, lined up and bowed together: "Please teach you a strategy!"

Lu Yihao nodded with satisfaction. The strategy has been formulated by the military computer room long ago. Of course, it was not planned by Zhang Jun and the others, but the most secure plan selected from the multiple plans formulated by the officers of the military computer room before.

It is to quickly advance to the Bazhou Dacheng County, located in the northwest of Qingzhou Prefecture City, forming a large triangle with Qingzhou Prefecture City and Diaoyutai Village.

After occupying the county town of Dacheng, the three corners of the big triangle can echo each other. If the Zhou army throws away these three corners and directly attacks Hejian Prefecture, the logistics line will be completely exposed to the edge of the Song army.

As long as the Song Dynasty officials pay for it with pleasure, the problem of the Battle of Hebei should be small.

...

"Two, 20 million yuan!?Do they think the real money is blown by the strong wind?"

In the Qionglin Palace, the "bill" from Hebei has been sent!

20 million pieces!

Not 10 million... Because the Zhou army advanced in two groups. In addition to the Hebei West Road Legion in Qingzhou, there was also a Hebei East Road Legion that attacked Cangzhou. Wang Bing led 10 generals to resist, and of course these 10 generals were also "businessmen", so it was impossible for them to be free.

Zhao Ji asked angrily: "Ji Qing, tell me, should you give this money?"

Ji Yi was also confused. He thought he could last for a while with 50 million, but he didn't expect that the Lion in Hebei asked for 20 million at once... If he gave it to them, how many millions would have been destroyed in this battle?

Seeing Ji Yi silent, Zhao Ji asked angrily: "Aren't you the chief slogan Zhou Chang's skills used to control Zhou? How much does Zhou Kingdom give?"

"Report to your Majesty! As far as I know, the Eastern thieves sent troops, and after they entered the battle or won, there is no need to give rewards to silver and two copper coins. Those who have meritorious merits will be remembered to do great things, medium and small things. After the war, they will be rewarded according to merits, either promotions, honors, or civil titles (citizenship), or rewards to the countryside. Only a small part of the merits will be spent on money."

The answer to the question was that the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and the attendant He Li. Zhou State wanted to kill him, but he knew all the systems of Zhou State and admired him a lot.

He said: "Although the thief is in business, he does not make any profit in everything. He will not treat marching and fighting as a business. He is stronger than our Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Ji turned his eyes to Zhang Shuye, and Zhang Shuye hurriedly came out to report: "Your Majesty, although the soldiers of the Eastern thieves do not ask for money in everything, they have allocated eight or ten places they have taken... The thief is so powerful that they are not as good as that, so what else do they do?"

That's right!

If the Zhou Kingdom takes over Hebei, then the land in Hebei will be the farms of Zhou soldiers, and the small farmers in Hebei will be all the Zhou Kingdom knights and the patriarchs' customers... All of this is the case, who cares about the small money?

Now is an era when the natural economy has an absolute advantage in the total economic output, so the big part of social wealth is land! The big part is allocated to soldiers and generals. Do they still have the nerve to ask for money? What's the use of money? Drinking and playing with women, they will be lost after having fun. So there is a real estate farm? That's the wealth of heirlooms!

The market price of more than 100 million acres of land in Hebei is at least a few hundred million yuan!

Moreover, the farms of military citizens in Zhou State are tax-free and free of miscellaneous sects (except for education levies), and will not be exploited by corrupt officials (the officials of Zhou State need votes from military citizens).. In this way, the income of the farms of military citizens is very secure. With 150 acres of land and houses, they will never have to worry about food and drink in their lifetime, and it will be no problem for their sons to go to school and study!

Therefore, the actual military expenditure invested by the Zhou State was far higher than that of the Song Dynasty!

He Li, the clerk of the Secretariat, reiterated: "Your Majesty, the Eastern thief uses equal-field troops to fight with our dynasty soldiers, and they have taken advantage of the expenses. Although the population of the Eastern thief is only one-seventh of that of our dynasty, it is not a problem to send millions of troops. However, our dynasty has only hundreds of millions of people, but no money to recruit millions of troops. If the method of suppressing annexation is not implemented immediately and equalizing land, I am afraid that the country will not survive!"

After hearing He Li's advice, Zhao Ji felt like he was unable to save the tide.

In the Song Dynasty, it was impossible to suppress annexation and equalize the land!

But the Song Dynasty did not raise money from millions of soldiers... The 20 generals in Hebei, who only had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses who attacked, dared to ask for 20 million yuan for rewards! If they had 10 times more, the reward would be 200 million yuan alone! The military expenditure that they had to maintain on weekdays was not enough to sell the Qionglin Palace!

On the Zhou side, there are more than one million soldiers who don’t have money. If the Song Dynasty destroys one person, he will give 200 mu of land, and the sky will be 200 million mu of land... The Song Dynasty has at least 600 million mu of land, which is enough for them to share! So the Song Dynasty can’t win this war with the Zhou Dynasty no matter how it looks like!
