The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 144 Money can not be less

Chapter 144: Money cannot be less

"Salute!" When Zhao Qi walked into the temporary station of Xiangyi guests, a group of people led by Zhao Lian, the soldiers and horses left by Xiangyi North Mansion, were arranged into two groups and raised their hands to salute in the voice of the command.

"Thank you all!" Zhao Qi replied, looking at the slightly tired but energetic young men in front of him, his eyes were wet.

"I wish to live and die with the prince!" Everyone answered in unison with determination on their faces.

"Prince, the children who died in battle have been buried after being sent back to Xiangyi, and the family members have been properly placed. The villagers ask me to tell the prince: It is their honor to the children of Xiangyi who died in the battle for the prince's personal army. Please do not have to be guilty and hate for this.

.The Lizheng of each Zhuangzi, the old man unanimously decided: select 500 people from each Zhuangzi to replenish the prince's personal army. After that, there will be casualties. No matter how much damage, how many children will be added to the prince!" Zhao Lian said loudly.

.

"Zhao Qiong is ashamed of the friendship between the villagers and the elders. He is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and he cannot thank him. Zhao Qiong thanks him here!" After Zhao Qiong said that, he presented a great gift to the southeast. When he raised his head, he was already in tears.

Flowing over his face.

"Take care!" Everyone knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison, tears also shining in their eyes.

Zhao Qi then arranged a banquet to welcome everyone. The news about the people coming from his hometown spread quickly. Veterans from Xiangyi from various battalions came to visit and inquire about their family members. The newcomers also sent their home letters and letters from their homes.

When the items are handed over, it is naturally a lively event!

Zhao Lian brought letters from Zheng Shou, Feng Xi and others, and introduced in detail the situation in Zhongfu in the past year. This year, because various workshops are fully producing military products, the profits have declined, but the hot sales and location of alcohol are

The restaurants and restaurants in various prefectures have made a full profit, and they have barely achieved a slight surplus, so the income this year is much worse than in previous years.

These situations were already expected by Zhao Jie. The solution now is to gradually adjust the center of production of military products to the northwest. Here, there is rich coal and iron resources, close to Liaoxia, with sufficient leather supply and cheap manpower, which can greatly reduce guns and cannons.

The cost of production, and the plundered Xixia craftsmen have become ready-made technical forces, which can greatly reduce the economic pressure in Xiangyi.

That night, Zhao Ren gathered to discuss matters. Everyone was jealous of the newly arrived 500 Xiangyi new army. After years of training, these people have never been on the battlefield, but they are already qualified soldiers and can only be trained.

Then you can form an army, so it has become the target of everyone's scramble.

"I have a plan, let's see how!" Zhao Ren coughed lightly and said, "Now the number of our soldiers has reached nearly 20,000. The original Xiangyi veterans were only more than 2,000, although they were all backbone of each unit.

, but it is no longer appropriate to call Xiangyi Army. Moreover, the prince’s guards only have more than 100 people, and they have not been expanded. My opinion is to add all these five hundred people into the prince’s guards, and then after the training is completed,

Then, five hundred people were selected from the veterans of Xiangyi to form the Guards and inherit the banner of Xiangyi Army. Our entire army was collectively called the "Loyal and Brave Army". How can you think?"

As soon as Zhao Ren finished speaking, everyone who was still making noise just now was stuck, and no one said anything. Xiangyi Army was originally the prince's personal guards, and protecting the prince's safety was his job. Now everyone is in charge of the number of troops.

Qian, but forgot the prince, and the newly recruited people from the military states in the northwest, naturally, they are not as caring as the 'homes', and rest assured and at ease!

"I agree that there are only more than one hundred guards in the prince. Although we can send troops to guard in turn, most of these people are unknown. The prince's safety is our top priority. We must not be careless. I suggest that we immediately go from the original state.

The Xiangyi Army battalions dispatched personnel to form a new army to guard the prince!" Zhao Yong immediately agreed that the prince was the core of the entire army and the soul. If the prince made mistakes, no matter how many people there were, they would inevitably collapse and disintegrate.

"I agree, even if one day our entire army is wiped out, with the prince and the guards here, our Xiangyi army's banner will not fall, and we can build another strong army within a few years!" Zhao Zhong also said,

As long as the bones are kept, the flesh can grow, and they firmly believe that the prince can do it.

"Does other people have any opinions?" Zhao Ren asked. Everyone shook their heads and said that there was no more. Everyone here understood the importance of the prince. The branches are strong and the trunk is weak, and the head is heavy and the bottom is shallow, and the roots will fall sooner or later. "Since everyone has no opinions, just let's just go.

Follow this and you can organize a camp after the transfer tomorrow!" Before Zhao Jie could express his opinion, Zhao Ren settled the matter. It was too late for him to object.

Next, each battalion reported its own arrangements for the new training. The deputy commander of each battalion served as the new training commander, and selected the battalion capital, team, team deputy positions and 300 trainees who had just finished the training to serve at all levels. They strictly followed the training issued.

The outline is organized to organize training. At the same time, patrols should be strengthened to prevent new recruits from escaping, leaving camps privately, fighting and other evils. The focus of the entire army's work is shifted to the new training.

But just as the meeting was about to end, Xiao Yu, the commander of the Second Dragon Cavalry Battalion, made a request to resign. He was a child of a wealthy family in Xiangyi, skilled in archery and horses, liked to dance guns and sticks, and served as the coach of the social division. When he expanded his army, he asked him to

He stayed in office. However, after arriving at Xiangyi Army, his weaknesses without regular army training showed up. He was a good player in charge and killing the enemy. However, he knew too little about military tactics and strategies. He could barely make do with him as a commander. Now he did a good job.

The leader of the general was no longer competent, and he realized this, so he sincerely resigned and changed his job. Zhao Ren did not dare to make decisions about this matter, so he could only wait for the prince to decide.

After the meeting, Zhao Ren quietly left to find the prince. Now the prince is scattering and handing over the soldiers to him. Only then did he realize that he is not in charge of the family and does not know that the firewood and rice are expensive. The soldiers are now here, but there is not much money. According to the Xiangyi Army

Food standards: meat is required every meal, and a few cows are put over every day and more than twenty sheep are killed. However, the amount of food and salary issued by the Ministry of War is enough, but if he eats enough, he will eat for another month.

If you have to be good at pants, you can only go to the prince's side. Another thing is that there is a serious lack of equipment, especially weapons. With the newly transported 3,000 guns, nearly 20,000 people have less than 7,000 guns.

, The gap is too big.

On the first day of September, Zhao Qi presided over the flag-raising ceremony of the "Loyal and Brave Army". The camp was officially named "Jiugongzhai". Officials at all levels stationed in Taiyuan City were invited to watch the ceremony, let them watch a military performance, and visit the camp area.

. After the ceremony, they did not eat or drink a lot, but instead received a big pot of rice. They didn't even have a table, let alone wine. They sat on the ground like soldiers, and there was a large pot of beef stewed with radish in the middle.

A pot of mutton soup and a large basket of pancakes.

Under the charitable persuasion of the prince, each guest ate three pancakes, drank a large bowl of mutton soup, and a bowl of beef stewed with radish. However, after eating, the prince complained, saying that the soldiers were suffering, immediately

As winter comes, there is not enough firewood to cook and charcoal for heating, and there is not enough horse feed for the winter. The food is too poor, and the soldiers have to be abandoned. Now that the people have reached the point of weapons, the weapons have not yet been settled.

Anyway, you are poor and have no money, so you can do it.

In order to solve the real problem, the prince donated his three months of salary and left it to the Zhongyongjun to subsidize food. Others also thought about it. This excitement was not in vain! Although the money for this meal was a bit expensive, we had to pay it without paying it.

If you really don't give it to me, I'm afraid that he will take the airs of the prince and Shangguan, check their family background, ask where the money comes from, or just send a small report to his father and smash his job.

Zhao Qi did not ask how much "donation" he received. Anyway, when Zhao Ren sent him out, he happily said that he would not bother the prince until the new training was over.

After everything was arranged, Zhao Qi's illness was cured. When he returned to the Taiyuan official office, he only brought more than 30 people back to the city, and the rest stayed in the camp to participate in training together. There was no way to go for business affairs and fight with Huang Jingchen.

He was relieved to deal with it, not worried about any trouble. This year, the weather was good, and the autumn tax was collected, so it was not paid much. Hedong is located in a military ranks, with more than 100,000 imperial guards stationed in it, and the annual food and salary reached more than 300,000 shi.

, and we have to spend all the roads in Shaanxi. If we have some remaining money, we will give everyone a bonus. Anyway, we are united and try our best to keep the money in the local area. Several supervisors have already had enough, so we will naturally not be troublesome.

However, Tianning Festival is coming, and there must be no tribute items. Everyone racked their brains to think about giving the emperor some birthday gifts. Everyone was anxious, and Zhao Qi was even more anxious. Everyone could neglect anyone, but his father could not be neglected.

That is my own money tree and a big backer. Now it’s not time to pour it out. If I put it outside, I have to get some things I can take out. Glass, fireworks, and soybean wine are not new, but the local specialties

It has been exhausted for a long time, and this aspect cannot be done, so I can only make ideas on innovation.

When he was really sleepy, he would give him a pillow. Just as Zhao Qi was thinking hard, he saw the happy announcement of the good news. He was ordered again in danger and acted as a special envoy to take a pile of things drawn by the prince to the base as a supervisor, and try to produce new products.

After more than half a month of hard battle, the result was finally achieved.

"This is gasoline!"

“This is diesel!”

"This is kerosene!" Zhao Qi picked up the jars brought by Jian Xi, opened them and sniffed them one by one.

"This is paraffin!" Zhao Qi was excited and authentic when he saw a large piece of yellow grease condensed in a jar.

"Prince, you have to be careful. Dip these things into the fire and water them with water, the more they become stronger!" Seeing Xi said with lingering fear.

"Hehe, are you burned?" Zhao Qi smiled when he looked at Xi's half-bald eyebrows.

"Oh, I really went through fire and water for the prince this time. If that thing is not careful, it will be a big fire. If these things are almost killed!" Jianxi sighed and said with a bitter face.

"I'm happy, we can get rich again this time. I'll calculate a share for you this time. How about it?" Zhao Qi patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Really?" Seeing the bad luck on Xi's face immediately swept away and said with wide eyes. He knew that the prince was a boy who made money. He said that everything he could make money could make money back.
