Vol 2 Chapter 526: What if the money is not enough

"Bo Yuan, this time Chang'an, you are afraid to be ranked third, Sikong's position, I think it is suitable for you." Walking on the long road, Guan Yu and Liu Yi were sitting in the carriage, panic idle, Finding some topics to disturb, this journey of seven hundred miles, the march of the army is not the same as the two men's rush, and it is normal to rush for a month.
"Yeah, it's a great man." Liu Yi leaned on the back of the carriage and looked at Guan Yu with a smile, "But these are all false."
"Oh?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile: "Why is that true?"
"Now Guanzhong and Heluo have come down. I mean to rebuild the second capital and strengthen the defense along the way. After all, these seven hundred miles are easily damaged by the enemy. Just like Dong Zhuo, what really happened, Chang'an. It ’s not easy to support. I ’ve sent someone to send your majesty to the budget and drawings. After this award, I ’m going to start construction. The track in Hanzhong must be repaired first, and the materials must be shipped out. There is no difference between Sikong and Shaofu. , Still busy. "Liu Yi smiled.
"Bo Yuan is doing his best for the country and is commendable. Brother will definitely support him. I don't know how much he budgeted for rebuilding the two capitals." Guan Yu didn't pay much attention to Wenyan. When was Liu Yi's big construction in the past, Liu Bei did not support him ? Of course, the effect brought about is also visible. From Yueyang to later Xiangyang, Jiangling, and then to Yunnan, the comprehensive strength of the Han is almost built like Liu Yi, so Guan Yu believes that Liu Bei ’s request for Liu Yi will not Refuse.
"This project is a bit big." Liu Yi smiled and said: "In the reconstruction of Erdu, the basic track should be laid along the way. There are also checkpoints from Chang'an to Luoyang. The initial budget is 3 billion. Follow up to Xiliang. The laying may even communicate with the Western Regions, and then open the Silk Road, it has to be added, but by then the economy will be revitalized in both cities, it may be less ... "
Liu Yi said a lot later, but Guan Yu no longer listened to it, even if he was a military general, he did not value money very much on weekdays, but when the three billion yuan was exported, Guan Yu obviously felt that his breathing was delayed for a moment. , There is a feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Later, Guan Yu didn't listen to any of the professional terms in Liu Yi's words, or had no intention to listen to it. The whole brain was thinking about the concept of 3 billion?
When Liu Yi built Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Jiangling, the court contributed about three to five billion yuan. Now Liu Yi has three billion yuan. Guan Yu looked at Liu Yi mechanically: "Is there more?" Some? At that time, the two cities of Xiangyang and Jiangling were only more than 300 million yuan, what ...
"It's not 300 million. It's 300 million invested by the government. Besides, Xiangyang City itself is not big. As for Jiangling, it hasn't even laid foundations. That's why Jiangling and Xiangyang gentry brought in as much as 500 million. Both are just Changan today. If it is the area, it will be five or six in Xiangyang, not to mention the track laying, the manufacture of rail cars, and the checkpoints along the way. How can this be compared? "Seeing Guan Yu's look is wrong, Liu Yi smiled quickly: "Of course, if Hedong can be beaten down, it will save some."
"How much?" Guan Yu asked.
"Billions of dollars, there are a lot of passes that need to be defended along the way. Junhou has also seen that the water level of the big river has fallen in recent years. The old passes are no longer available and must be re-armed, and the track must be paved to these places, which will take trouble. Some. "Liu Yisi cableway, the most rare thing is not the city, but the defense line from Changan to Luoyang, he will also start from this aspect.
Guan Yu frowned and nodded, thinking about whether to discuss with his elder brother, and attack Hedong by the way. Although it would be more troublesome, it would save one billion.
"Of course, if Hedong is attacked, this is a hundred million that can be invested in the construction of Hedong, and it is also necessary to build a checkpoint. The terrain of Hedong is more complicated, and Junhou is a Hedong. This point needs to be asked about Junhou. How much depends on the situation. "Liu Yi thought about it. He had seen the map of Hedong before, but he could only get a general understanding of the landforms around Hedong based on the map, but it was difficult to be precise. The three-dimensional sense in his heart was not too strong. This thing is related to the defense in the future, and cannot be subjectively determined. Only after a field visit can a decision be made.
In the meaning of Liu Yi, it is not cost-effective to start a war exclusively for Hedong. It is best to win the Binzhou in World War I, but there are many problems involved, not only fighting with Wei Jun, but also considering Binzhou. The problem of frontier defense, the current big man, is afraid that he can't afford so much money.
Guan Yu laughed twice with Wen Yangan, the thought that had just risen in his heart was gone for a moment, and the current big man had just obtained the land of Guanzhong and Heluo. A little bit better.
As for Liu Yi's request for money this time, Guan Yu decided to ignore it. This kind of national event, let the elder brother think about it. Once he is a warrior, he will just manage the war. ?
The carriage was moving slowly and slowly, but the carriage fell into silence. Guan Yu's eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be asleep. After all, he was old, and the boat was tired. It was understandable that Liu Yi was sitting by the window. Seeing the scenery outside the window constantly receding from my eyes, my heart silently estimated the future plan.
At the same time, after arriving in Chang'an, after initial stability, he began to wait for Liu Bei to be rewarded by Changan, but at the moment it was a headache to bring Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to his side.
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong came to Liu Bei, bowed their heads, and looked at Liu Bei with a sad face, wondering: "Why worry?"
Is Cao Wei preparing to burn both jade and jade, desperately with them?
"What did Kong Ming think of the drawings that Bo Yuan sent before?" Liu Bei didn't answer, but looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.
"The worries are quite comprehensive, and the weather, geographical conditions, five elements, and feng shui are all taken into account." Zhu Geliang thought about it.
Although Liu Yi sent sketches before, with Zhuge Liang's vision, he couldn't pick out too many faults. Even if there were details, they could be corrected when doing the positive picture. I wonder why Liu Bei asked so suddenly?
"A few days ago, Bo Yuan ordered people to send the budgets of the two cities. In addition to the reconstruction of the two cities, there are rails and rail cars along the way, the construction of the checkpoint for Wei from Changan to Luoyang, and the laying of tracks between Guanzhong counties and Hanzhong." Liu Bei handed the letter from Liu Yi to the inner attendant, and let the inner attendant pass it to the two.
In fact, I do n’t know if I look at it, and I can let Liu Bei, who has always been generous with money, show this expression. This budget is probably quite amazing.
Pang Tong looked up and followed Zhuge Liang.
Others are nothing. The eyes of the two finally fell on the actual budget. The initial investment was 3 billion. It was only the initial stage. It was just the connection between Luoyang and Changan and the laying of the track between Hanzhong and Guanzhong. Fang, not counting the road lines and cities required by Liu Yi for Xiliang, Qiang and even the Western Regions.
The suffocating data, which just hit Guanzhong, was the time when the money was used. As a result, Liu Yi said that the continuation of Shuzhong in these years may be evacuated again.
Um, Liu Yi will evacuate the government house every time there is movement, but the speed of money will increase a lot later, especially after Nanzhong was opened. In recent years, Shuzhong ’s income has been quite considerable, but even In this way, after seeing the three billion requests, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong still felt startled.
"There are a lot of grains in Kuzhong in the two places of Jingshu right now. If there are coins, there are indeed some. I'm afraid I can't make these out. "Zhu Geliang smiled bitterly. He is responsible for the logistics of the entire Han. He is most aware of how much money the Han has.
Three billion yuan, yes, but it is absolutely impossible to give Liu Yi all of a sudden. After all, the reward is imminent. A lot of this money will be used to reward heroes and soldiers.
"It's for this reason that two people came here." Liu Bei looked at them with a wry smile. When Liu Yi originally sent the drawings, he was already prepared for major bleeding, and even prepared to take out half of the money in the government library. Let Liu Yi engage in construction. After all, according to the experience of the past ten years or so, every time Liu Yi made great strides in civil engineering, what followed was a gradual rise in the economy. Liu Bei also had this spirit ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The problem is ... the money is not enough, or it is impossible to give it to Liu Yi. After all, it is impossible to delay the award. Otherwise, you will lose your trust in the soldiers of the three armed forces. All the troops are on the side of the court, and the family is useless even if they oppose it. Therefore, this matter cannot be delayed, but Liu Yi ’s money cannot be delayed. The sooner he is given, the more he will see the Han prosperous, Liu Bei is getting older, he wants to watch the big man step into glory step by step in his own hands, and even surpass Han Wu and Guang Wu to reach a new peak.
Pang Tong squeezed his beard under his jaw, frowned, and could fight and manage him, but the way to make money ... this was a little difficult.
Zhuge Liang shook the lupin gently. Although the weather was already cool, his lupin had not stopped since he read Liu Yi's letters.
Liu Bei is not in a hurry, and he has no choice.
Zhu Geliang suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Bei said: "In recent years, I have gradually expanded towards regaining territory, but because of this, there have been many corruptions, and many complaints have emerged from the people. Corruption. "
Liu Bei was startled and reacted immediately.
Corrupt officials ca n’t be avoided in any dynasty or generation, but even Mingjun generally wo n’t hold on to it. Although it ’s a bit ugly, it ’s just a minor problem for the country. Too much.
Of course, there is another point, which is a bit shady, that is, when the court has no money, it can kill corrupt officials, there are two benefits, one can be civilians angry, even if killing corrupt officials does not bring any practical benefits to the people, but the hatred, the second is Enriching the treasury, Zhuge Liang apparently thought of this.
After being silent for a moment, Liu Bei nodded silently: "This matter will be left to Kong Ming."
