Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Chapter 194 The Wealth of Qin

Hearing Mr. Mo speak.

The generals hesitated subconsciously.

After all, the war situation has not been completely determined yet, Ying Zheng has only secretly convened a group of generals to discuss it several times, and the whole matter is still kept secret for the time being.

But then everyone remembered the identity of Lord Mo, and Wang Jian said: "Although it has not been agreed yet, I should be the one to take the lead in this battle, and the number of troops should be two hundred thousand."

After hearing the words, Mr. Mo pondered for a while, and then replied: "In that case, I understand. I will submit the specific accounts to the king when the time comes. Although it has not been determined yet, the food and grass will at least be no less than one million dan. In addition, the national treasury is quite abundant now, so when the war starts, there should be 50,000 kilograms of pickled or dried fish and mutton accompanying the army..."

Mr. Mo didn't make his words too clear. After all, although he was in charge of Su Neishi, it was Ying Zheng who made the final decision.

If Mr. Mo makes a move similar to 'guaranteing' here at this time, it will inevitably be true.

But even so.

Mo Jun's offer also shocked all the generals.

"A million stones of food? Is what Lord Shengping said true?"

"There are actually 50,000 kilograms of pickled and dried fish and mutton, darling~ Is my Daqin so rich now?"

"I have heard for a long time that Lord Shengping's amassing wealth is rare in the world. Ever since Lord Shengping took office, I and my subordinates have been favored by Lord Shengping several times when we were at the border. But when we meet today, I realize that all of them were just before. I saw some fur!"

······

Many generals were shocked by Lord Mo's handwriting.

No wonder they had such a reaction. After all, as Qin soldiers, they had probably never fought such a wealthy battle in their eight lives.

Even Meng Ao and Wang Jian were shocked.

Because they had already seen how "generous" Mr. Mo's actions were last time, so when the war started this time, the two of them were not as worried about food and grass as other generals.

But now Mo Jun's quotation was still beyond their expectations.

What a joke.

Which country is at war these days and still has meat to eat?

How rich do you have to be to dare to waste your family like this?

"Hey~ Mr. Mo, tell me how much grain and money is stored in the Qin State's treasury now?" Wang Jian couldn't help but leaned into Mr. Mo's ear and asked in a low voice.

However, in response to this, Mr. Mo smiled mysteriously and did not respond. He just said: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked."

Today's treasury has truly become a secret place of Qin State.

When the previous governors were in office, the treasury of the State of Qin was not only poor, but most of the accounts in it were also leaking like a sieve. Basically, the senior dignitaries of the State of Qin probably had a good idea of ​​the accounts in the treasury.

However, since Mr. Mo took office, he has been 'cleaning up the house' several times in succession. It is difficult to clean up a bad debt from the past, so the past can only be accumulated temporarily.

But now the entire [Zhi Su Nei Shi Mansion] has used the new calculation method created by Lord Mo, and now all the accounts have begun to be rearranged.

More importantly.

Mr. Mo implemented a reform within [Zhi Su Neishi Mansion], re-refined the department management system within [Zhi Su Neishi Mansion], and decentralized the rights of all departments.

Even if there are still people stationed in the [Zhi Su Neishi Mansion], they can only know part of the treasury accounts at most.

in other words.

Now there are only two people in the world who really know all the detailed accounts of the treasury.

One is Mr. Mo.

The second is Ying Zheng.

Even more seriously, I am afraid that only Mr. Mo knows how much money is in the treasury of the Zhi Su Nei Shi Mansion.

As for how much savings there are in the national treasury now.

Mr. Mo could only say that the reason why Ying Zheng dared to start the war at this time was not the brave army of Qin State, but the current treasury of Qin State.

[New Grain Seeds], [Private Salt Business], [Hanzhong Business Tax].

These three things have brought an unimaginable amount of food and wealth to the current Qin State. In addition, the current internal economic system of the Qin State is not mature at all, and it is difficult for property to circulate within the Qin State. As a result, money can only be accumulated and stored. stand up.

After hearing a certain tone from Mr. Mo, the atmosphere in the whole room obviously became much more relaxed, and the previous awkward atmosphere was instantly wiped away.

"You old guys, I told you before that this guy is not a stingy person. He is different from those guys before. How about it? Now you believe it!" Meng Aohu said with a face.

"Hehehehe~~~ Mr. Meng, this matter is indeed our villain's intention. But we can't be blamed for this matter. You also know what kind of thing the last 'Zhi Su Neishi' is. Although we are big You're a rough guy, but you can't joke with the lives of the soldiers below, so even if you're a villain, we have to be sure about this."

"In addition, since Mr. Shengping has distributed General Wang Jian's portion of food and grass today, I would like to ask Mr. Shengping to take care of the next one."

As he said that, the general stood up suddenly, picked up the wine glass and said to Mo Jun with a smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, yes~~ I also have my share, please take care of it, Shengping-kun."

"And I······"

"I also come to offer a toast to Mr. Shengping."

Today, Meng Ao and Wang Jian led a dozen of Qin's prestigious generals to hold a banquet. Naturally, the purpose was not just to get some information from Lord Mo.

There are two main reasons why Meng Ao and Wang Jian did this today.

One is to introduce these generals to Mr. Mo.

As Mr. Mo's status gradually improved, it was only a matter of time before he entered this circle. In the past, most of these generals were stationed at the border all year round and never had a chance.

And now, taking advantage of Ying Zheng's opportunity to recall the border generals, it happened that Wang Jian and Meng Ao took the lead and introduced these people to Mo Jun.

Since then.

Mr. Mo has truly entered the top ranks of the Qin Kingdom.

And these people will also become one of Mo Jun's heritage in the future.

In fact, originally, Lord Mo, as the ‘Zhi Su Neishi’, should have been a member of the civil service group, but unfortunately, the relationship between Lord Mo and the current civil service group in the Qin State is not very good.

The second is simply to catch the autumn wind.

After all, Mr. Mo's current role as 'governing Su Neishi' can be said to control the logistics lifeline of these generals, and as a general, who doesn't want to get more food and grass for his army.

Even Meng Ao and Wang Jian are no exception to this point.

So before today came, Lord Mo had already told Heiyu that he was probably going to have a 'hemorrhage' today, because even Lord Mo didn't have a good way to deal with the rogue tactics of these old guys.
