Zetian Hall, side hall, imperial military meeting hall.
When Wei Qiu talked about confiscating 20 magic crystal cannons from the National Assembly Army, everyone burst into laughter.
Zhang Wei said carelessly: "The Minister of the Ministry of War is the Minister of the Ministry of War.
He can rob things so confidently.
This is very good."
Lin Muyu groaned and asked: "Have you found out the origin of these magic crystal cannons?
Could it be that other than the Imperial Weapons Department, someone else has also mastered the technology of casting magic crystal cannons?"
"That's not the case."
Wei Qiu replied: "The bases of these magic crystal cannons are engraved with the numbers of the Ministry of War.
If nothing else, they should have been lost in the battle of Lingdong Province.
Later, the Tianji Empire's army did not have time to bring them with them.
If you leave, it will fall into the hands of the people.
As for how the Congress Army came, they were probably bought from those businessmen or mercenaries. " "It seems that the National Assembly Army has been racking its brains for armaments."
Feng Jixing sighed and said, "Since Zhuang Yan can think of this way to obtain armaments, he will probably find a way from other places.
For the time being, they are The Ministry of War is still polite, but once it has enough armaments, it may not be possible if the cards are strong. " "Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded and said: "After all, the Congress Army has too many people.
Once they are equipped with magic crystal cannons, it will be great.
Wei Qiu and Zhang Wei must send people to investigate carefully and cannot relax. alert."
"Yes, Lin Shuai" several people clasped their fists together.
Lin Muyu groaned, and then said: "Zhuang Yan and Su Changying are both smart people.
They will definitely compete with the imperial army in other ways.
As for what they are best at, they should be inciting people's hearts and using the constitution's regulations.
From then on, Starting today, everyone in the Imperial Army must learn the Constitution and regulations and restrain their words and deeds.
No one can be caught by the National Assembly Army.
Do you remember this?"
"yes" "Especially you, Zhang Wei."
Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and said: "One of the regulations on military personnel in the constitution is that soldiers are not allowed to keep more than three concubines, and they are not allowed to molest women.
But you, Zhang Wei, have been in and out of Fireworks Alley many times.
Once you are caught, I’m afraid no one can protect you, so you must restrain yourself, understand?”
Zhang Wei knelt down on one knee: "Yes, Commander Lin, the general understands and must restrain himself."
Following Feng Jixing for many years, Zhang Wei's temper has indeed been restrained a lot.
According to his previous temper, he would have taken a knife to the Congress and chopped it up.
The world of this empire was jointly controlled by Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, and Tang Xiaoxi.
Anyone who dares to offend them is simply an enemy of Zhang Wei.
At least, that's what he must have thought in his upright temperament.
Lin Muyu sat on the commander's seat, flipped through the military order book in front of him, and said: "Winter is coming soon, how are we preparing our military supplies?"
"Commander Lin, please rest assured."
In the crowd, Ding Xi clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness Yin ordered his subordinates to take charge of the Military Supplies Department.
These subordinates have already made arrangements with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The Gendan Camp, the Forbidden Army and the Exile Legion have all the manpower.
The cotton-padded clothes will be ready within half a month, and the weather will be cold in half a month, so they will come in handy. " "Well, thank you for your hard work, General Ding Xi."
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "By the way, there is still food and fodder for the war horses.
Have the people we sent to the Northern Desert to buy war horses come back?"
Ding Xi said: "The food and grass have been prepared properly.
There are more than forty fodder yards in Lanyan City, which is enough for our 100,000 war horses to survive the entire cold winter.

In addition, the people who went to the Northern Desert have returned quickly.
Since the Great Wolf Lord of the Northern Desert, After Mao Dun died, more than a dozen tribes gathered together to Leaderless, but there are still many war horses.
Our envoys met with their tribal leaders and reached an agreement.
They are willing to sell 150,000 war horses to us at a price of about 150 gold coins each, so we Nearly 30 million gold coins need to be prepared.”
"Do you have thirty million households?"
"The household department is a bit tight, and these gold coins need to be moved from other places."
Lin Muyu frowned, turned to look at Qin Yin, and said, "Xiao Yin, do you have money there?"
Qin Yin pursed her red lips and said: "Zetian Palace is also poor.
Even if we increase revenue and reduce expenditure, we still don't have that much money.
There are about ten million gold coins in the palace treasury.
I'll give them all to you.
The rest You have to figure it out yourself.”
Lin Muyu turned to the other side: "Xiao Xi, is the Qihai Palace rich?"
"No."
Tang Xiaoxi blinked: "During the last expedition to Cangnan Province, the treasury of Qihai Province was almost depleted.
Now there is no supply.
After Xiao Yin returned, she issued a general amnesty and reduced taxes for the whole world.
So, now everyone The place is very poor.”
"It seems that the eleven years of war has indeed impoverished the empire.
The majestic Lanyan City cannot even afford tens of millions of gold coins."
"Yeah, that's how it was originally."
Feng Jixing said: "Ayu, you might as well ask Jin Xiaotang.
The Ziyinhua Chamber of Commerce should still be rich.
These 150,000 war horses are very important to us.
The future war will still be the battlefield of cavalry.
The magic crystal cannon is too It is clumsy and can only be used in defensive warfare.
Real offensive warfare still relies on cavalry and the rapid impact of magic crystal crossbows.
It is impossible without war horses."
"Well, I will ask, but it won't be too ideal.
The big households in Lanyan City are also very poor now, and the Purple Yinhua Chamber of Commerce's business is not as good as before."
Tang Xiaoxi pursed her lips: "The majestic Great Qin Empire, thousands of years of savings, where did the money go?"
"They are all on the steel wall and lost in the wilderness of the battlefield."
Feng Jixing said with emotion.
At this time, Ding Xi said: "I think some people are very rich."
"Who?"
Lin Muyu asked.
Ding Xi said: "The princes of the National Assembly, you see, they have money to buy magic crystal cannons from mercenaries, which is enough to prove that their families are relatively wealthy.
Take Zhuang Yan as an example.
He is the prefect of Sunset City.
The banker he works for is also a wealthy businessman from Xunbai Province.
After the clan was repelled, Sunset City has been singing and dancing, and even the wars between the Blackstone Empire and the Tianji Empire have not reached Sunset City.
Therefore, Zhuang Yan is very rich, as can be seen from the fact that he can raise nearly 60,000 troops.
When he comes out, he has no money or rations, so who will follow him?"
Qin Yin raised her lips slightly and said, "Master Ding Xi means that we should kill the big households."
"That's right."

Ding Xi said: "Since Zhuang Yan, Su Changying and others can set up a parliament with great fanfare to reduce power, then why should we be polite?
We can just create a name to deprive the princes of their property and fiefdoms.
For example, Zhuang Yan is still the governor of Sunset City.
He is the Lord of Sunset City, but Her Royal Highness the Empress actually has the power to demote him."
Feng Jixing's eyes lit up: "General Ding Xi means to remove all the princes from their positions in the fiefdom."
"That's right."
Ding Xi took a deep breath and said: "Your Highness can select a group of young talents from the imperial capital to serve in various places.
They are called Jun'en Orders.
In fact, they just replace the status of the princes in the fiefdom and make them lose their roots.
If these princes don't want to If you are replaced, you need to hand over a certain amount of property to overturn the emperor's order, so that you can legitimately seize local financial resources. " "good" Lin Muyu clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Master Ding Xi's plan is a good one.
It is feasible for Xiao Yin and Xiao Xi.
What do you think?"
Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi nodded together: "Agree."
Lin Muyu looked at Shangguan Jingyue and said: "Then please ask Shangguan's female historian to draft this emperor's favor order immediately.
The sooner the better, and deliver it directly to the hands of the princes.
If they don't show any expression within seven days, they will take it away.
Their fiefdom.”
"Yes, Lin Shuai" Shangguan Jingyue left happily.
Lin Muyu geared up: "In this way, we will have the money to buy a war horse."
Wei Qiu added: "Commander Lin, Shenhou Zeng Yifan sent a letter from Dongshuang City and learned that the Tianjue Empire on the Tianji Continent passed through the Forest of No Return and has started a war against Zhang Sheng's army of the Tianji Empire."
"Chen Yu started a war with Zhang Sheng" Lin Muyu was stunned and said happily: "Good thing, this is a good thing.
In this way, Tianji Continent will not pose any threat to us for at least half a year.
That's great."
He was so full of ambition that he felt that he could no longer sit in the command position, so he added: "By the way, how is the reconstruction of the Imperial Navy going?"
Bai Licang cupped his fists: "Marshal Qi, several large shipyards are short of money, so the casting of building ships is very slow.
Now there are only nearly a hundred building ships.
Moreover, the new recruits of the Navy still need to be trained.
In a short time There is no way to form a fighting force.”
“Money still needs money.”
Lin Muyu held her forehead and couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Ayu, are you okay?"
Feng Jixing asked.
"It's okay."
Lin Muyu shook his head and said: "Everyone here is a member of the empire.
Let's think of a way to make money.
Without money, we can't cast more building ships.
Without building ships, we can't train sailors.
Division, without the navy, our East China Sea would still be completely blank.
We would have no sea territory of our own and could only be passively attacked.
Without warships, we would not be able to assemble a large army for the Eastern Expedition. " "Eastern March" Tang Xiaoxi was stunned.
"Yes, the Eastern Expedition."
Lin Muyu looked at her and smiled: "Xiao Xi, don't you think we should completely destroy Tianji Continent?"
"This, I'm afraid, is a bit difficult."
Ding Xi sighed and laughed.
"I know it's difficult, but we must prepare in advance."

Lin Muyu turned the pen in his hand, making a brushing sound, and said while thinking: "It's not that I want to go militarily, but if our Great Qin Empire doesn't go militarily, it will definitely be destroyed. , Even if I feel sorry for future generations, I will still fight.”
Qin Yin moved slightly and said softly: "I will fully support you."
Tang Xiaoxi nodded: "Me too."
The generals were stunned for a moment, and then they all clasped their fists and said: "We will follow the marshal, and we will not retreat until the enemy points."
Lin Muyu smiled happily.
The people in front of her were the real pillars of the empire.
It was this group of people who had defeated powerful enemies time and time again.
They were the Yihe Kingdom, the Demon Clan, the Tianji Empire, and the Blackstone Empire.
They were the real treasures of the empire.
History Their names, as well as their glorious military exploits and chapters will be remembered forever
