Chapter 249 The Bad Situation of Xiangping

"Hong Zhuo, keep talking!"

After handing out the rewards, Shang Ji raised his head to signal Chen Guan, ordering him to continue.

Although the money gain is huge, it is only a part of it all, the real big head is yet to come!

Chen Guan nodded when he heard the words, and continued: "In addition to gold and silver, our army also seized a large number of high-value items such as gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and various gemstones. Due to the lack of corresponding talents in our army, we have not yet assessed a specific value. We The relevant personnel have been contacted and statistics will be made as soon as possible!"

"In addition, our army has also confiscated 860,000 war horses (plus the previous ones), of which 780,000 are good horses, and most of the rest can also be cured. Among these war horses, there are 440,000 low-grade war horses, 28 There are 10,000 middle-grade war horses, 130,000 top-grade war horses, and more than 10,000 good horses and above."

"A fierce general cannot live without a horse. All the generals will choose five suitable horses!" Shang Ji said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord, for the reward!" Everyone thanked in unison.

"In addition, our army has also confiscated a large amount of equipment, but the quality of these equipment is generally low. There are less than 300,000 sets of excellent grades and above, and less than 20,000 sets of 100-forged grades. Even if the equipment of the Xianbei army can be transformed, it is still not enough to support my brother's efforts. The military expansion plan." Chen Guan spread his hands and said helplessly.

The standard equipment of ordinary Dahanjun soldiers is of the excellent level, and there are a large number of equipment of this level, and the inventory is sufficient.

However, Shang Ji needed at least 100-forged equipment for expanding his army, and the black-armored mysterious cavalry, Dayan iron cavalry, and Lieyang cavalry needed a full set of iron-level suits.

With all the money and calculations, Shang Ji didn't even have 10,000 iron-level suits that could be used!

"How about the production capacity of equipment in Xiangping City? The blacksmith's workshop in Xiangping can be at the highest level, right? The output should be objective, right?"

Holding the last sliver of fantasy, Shang Ji looked at Deng Yan expectantly.

"Hey!" Deng Yan let out a long sigh, shattering Shang Ji's last illusion. "Xiangping is a huge city. In theory, up to four giant blacksmith workshops can be built. However, at present, there is only one blacksmith workshop that can operate normally in Xiangping City, and the level is only high-level. The daily output of equipment is not much better than that of Blackwater Plug. The rest Each workshop is either deserted or vacant!"

"The same is true for the barracks. The maximum construction limit is eight. Currently, there is only one barracks that can be used normally, and the level is only high-level!"

"Asshole!"

Shang Ji couldn't help cursing angrily, what a giant city, it was half disabled by Wang Tong and the others!

Deng Yan was unmoved, and continued to pour cold water on Shang Ji: "In addition to military facilities, various civilian facilities in Xiangping City are also seriously vacant or deserted. Due to time constraints, the statistics have not yet been completed, but the situation Very pessimistic. Simply put, Xiangping is just wearing the skin of a giant city, and some facilities are not even as good as normal mid-level cities.”

"Finally, due to the siege of Xianbei for several consecutive days, the people's hearts and prosperity data in the city are quite touching. If it weren't for our army's victory over Xianbei just now, and its power is unparalleled for a while, riots may have broken out. In fact, as far as I know, in our army Before defeating Xianbei, there had been more than one riot in the city, but it was suppressed by Wang Tong!"

After introducing the general situation in the city to everyone, Deng Yan sat down without saying a word, waiting for everyone to digest.

"Hehe, we have taken over a mess!" After a long time, Shang Ji smiled wryly and said helplessly.

Liaodong, a land of bitter cold! Although Xiangping is on the same level as the prefectures and counties in the mainland, it is at the level of a giant city, but in essence, it is a world and a land, which is a hundred times worse!

Everyone was silent when they heard the words, obviously they were also stunned by the bad situation in Xiangping City.

"How about this, pass on the order to exempt the tax in Xiangping City for three months, let's stabilize the people's hearts first!" After staying for a while, Shang Ji said.

"Brother, we can exempt the people of Liaodong from the imperial grain and state tax, but the imperial court will not exempt us from it. Secretly intercepting the tax is a serious crime tantamount to rebellion!"

Deng Yan spoke up immediately.

Shang Ji has not yet rebelled, this national tax must be paid,

Even lord players still have to pay a rather high monthly tax, making ordinary lord players miserable.

"Send a letter to the imperial court, the people of Liaodong have just suffered a military disaster, and ask for tax relief!"

Deng Yan and Liu Yi smiled wryly when they heard the words. After a long time, it was Liu Yi who said: "The imperial court's expenses are tight, and this application for tax reduction may not succeed."

Liu Yi is trying to save face for the imperial court, so he thinks Lingdi is so greedy that it would be nice not to increase taxes, but he still wants to reduce or exempt? Go dreaming!

Seeing this, Shang Ji thought about everything, shook his head with a wry smile, and asked, "How much tax do I need to pay in Xiangping City every month?"

"1.2 million gold!"

"Oh, alright, we've paid the money, and now we'll go down and make an announcement to reduce or exempt taxes for the next three months, no, two months!"

At the last moment, Shang Ji still hesitated, and turned the first three months into two months. Although a large amount of property has just been confiscated, it is all useful and cannot be wasted at will.

"These civil affairs are all in the hands of Brother Xian. Let Brother Xian do what he thinks should be done! If there is anything missing, report to Brother Wei, and Brother Wei will try his best to solve it!"

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Deng Yan's mouth, he stood up and said, "Young brother, do your best!"

This is not an easy task. With the current chaos in Xiangping, it is impossible to straighten it out without spending a lot of effort. Although Deng Yan was promoted to a first-class scribe because of enlightenment tea, he was still somewhat unable to deal with the entire Xiangping City.

"Mr. Zhong Zhi, the current situation is so difficult, I need to ask you to help me a lot!" Shang Ji turned his head and said to Yan Xie with a smile.

"My lord is serious, this is my duty!" Yan leaned up and cupped his hands.

Once again, he became the manager of the hands-off shopkeeper, leaving all the annoying government affairs to Deng Yan, and Shang Ji once again shifted his attention to the military.

"Immediately call all the blacksmiths in the city to produce high-end equipment, transform and repair all existing iron-level suits, and give priority to the supply of black-armored black knights."

A lot of Black Armored Black Knights were killed in battle before, and there were a lot of damaged equipment. It takes some effort to repair these equipment, but it is much simpler than remanufacturing.

"For the newly recruited Xiangping City defenders, I have already distributed the money, and I hope to receive corresponding results. The generals need to step up the training of the newly attached troops, and the generals' morale will be fully raised!"

"Lu Kuang!"

"The last general is here!" Lu Kuang immediately stood up and replied.

"I will appoint you as a training lieutenant (just a head, an unofficial official position), temporarily responsible for the training of the newly attached army, and Kou Xian and Yang Cheng will assist you!"

"The last general takes orders!" Kou Xian, Lu Kuang, and Yang Cheng replied in unison.

"Those who have special arms training missions should step up their training. It is better to wait for equipment than to wait for equipment. I request that once the equipment is in place, it can immediately form combat effectiveness!"

"The last general takes orders!" Qin Ping, Liu Meng, Tai Shici and others immediately took orders.
