Chapter 312 Gifts
"No other meaning, I just want to have a specific number in my heart, so that I can reasonably plan the construction of Liaodong. If brother finds it inconvenient, just be a fool and don't ask!"
Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Deng Yan's face flushed immediately, and he waved his hands again and again to explain.
"Third brother, I'm worrying too much. Between you and me, what's inconvenient?" Shang Ji waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.
"In this war, the cumulative harvest of gold coins—"
Having said that, Shang Ji deliberately paused, seeing Liu Yi and Deng Yan's attitude that if you talk nonsense, we will do it, and he didn't dare to keep it to himself.
"In this war, a total of 360 million gold coins have been harvested, countless basic building materials, and enough food for the entire Xiangping City people for a year!"
Suddenly, Liu Yi and Deng Yan's eyes were wide open, their mouths were slightly opened, and their eyes were dull. They were obviously stunned by this terrifying number.
"Three hundred and sixty million?"
"gold?"
After a long time, the two of them came to their senses and couldn't help asking.
"The specific figures may be slightly different, but the error will not exceed 10%!"
This figure was calculated by Shang Ji through weight. A gold coin weighs about four coins. Shang Ji finally got a rough figure by measuring the weight of the "golden mountain". Of course, it cannot be completely accurate, but it is not too different.
"Expand the army! Expand the army! Brother Yu, Brother Yu thinks that the Liaodong War Army needs at least one million to be suitable!"
"Brother, Liaodong is ruined. Brother Yu thinks that it needs to be rectified and built into a top giant city!"
After confirming the specific number, Liu Yi and Deng Yan shouted loudly at the same time.
Seeing this, Shang Ji gave a wry smile. Obviously, the two of them were shocked by this number, otherwise they would not have made such an absurd proposal.
"Don't worry, you two. The money is here. You can't escape it anyway. Don't worry. As for the issue of military expansion and construction, let's discuss it in a long-term way!" Shang Ji waved his hand and pulled the two excited righteous brothers to sit down.
After all, Liu Yi and Deng Yan are elite figures. Although they were overwhelmed by the huge amount of money for a while, they quickly reacted when Shang Ji reminded them.
"Foolish brother Meng Lang, the previous plan of 500,000 soldiers is very reasonable, there is no need to expand it!"
"My foolish brother is confused and said absurd things, my brother laughed at me!"
The two looked embarrassed, and smiled apologetically at Shang Ji.
The 500,000 soldiers in Liaodong County is a relatively reasonable number. Any more will easily cause a serious financial burden. Even if you have money now, you must consider the future, so that the future will definitely collapse due to military expenses. Besides, now that the troubled times are not clear, you are training so many troops, are you trying to plot something wrong?
As for building Xiangping into a top giant city, that is even more nonsense.
A top giant city needs at least 20 to 30 million people to support it, and now Xiangping only has a population of 7 to 8 million. The population alone will strictly limit the upper limit of Xiangping City. Without the population, no matter how much money you spend, there is nothing you can do.
"It's good for the two brothers to understand. I tell you this news just to give my elder brother and my virtuous brother some confidence. My future development prospects in Liaodong are bound to be boundless. If there is anything that needs to be done, just let it go. We have plenty of financial support !"
"I'm ashamed, brother Yu has lived so many years, but he is still blinded by wealth!" Liu Yi sighed and said with some guilt.
Shang Ji smiled slightly, but did not answer. When he saw so many gold coins for the first time, his performance was worse than that of Liu Yi, and he was full of absurd ideas of building an army of tens of millions to sweep the world.
"Brother, now we have sufficient funds, I hope that brother can build up the planned 500,000 soldiers with the strictest requirements in the shortest possible time."
"No problem! Brother Yu promises to complete the task assigned by Brother Xian within two months!"
Wealth is the foundation of a person, and with such a huge amount of funds as the backing, Liu Yi also appears to be full of confidence and ambition.
"Hong Zhuo, I will give you 60 million funds, and you must complete the construction of a special building within three months.
At the same time, restore the military-related buildings such as the barracks, barracks, military academy, large field, point general platform, and blacksmith workshop to their best condition! Repair a barracks as soon as possible, integrate a Yan Zhiwu, and try to choose new soldiers from Yan Zhiwu! "
"No problem, brother Yu will immediately arrange manpower later, so as not to delay brother's career!" Deng Yan was also full of confidence and arrogance.
"By the way, I still have some small gifts for you." After finishing the business, Shang Ji slapped his forehead and remembered the things he had prepared for the two of them.
"No, brother, this is for you!" Shang Ji took out the [Jade Chip Golden Elixir] from the Sumina Ring, and handed it to Liu Yi while talking, but Shang Ji finally did not dare to hand over the [Scroll of Life and Death] easily. To Liu Yi.
"Hong Zhu, you have more!" Shang Ji smiled slightly, and took out the A-level title [Governing Minister], and a [Elixir], as well as some high-level scribe equipment obtained in the battle.
"hiss……"
Liu Yi took a look at the elixir in his hand, and immediately took a deep breath.
"This is too precious, I can't take it for my brother!"
"Brother, don't refuse, this is specially prepared for you by Brother Yu!" Shang Ji smiled slightly and persuaded.
"No, no, it's too precious. My virtuous brother now has a high position, and his body is in Liaodong. Safety is of the utmost importance. My virtuous brother should use it first!"
Seeing Liu Yi's resolute attitude, Shang Ji took out another [Nine Bulls and Two Tigers Pill] from the Sumina Ring and handed it to Liu Yi.
"Look, brother, brother Yu has long been prepared!"
Liu Yi took a look at it, shook his head and said: "My dear brother, don't lie to me, the difference between these two kinds of pills is far away. Besides, the same is true for my younger brother who takes the Jade Chip Golden Pill after taking the Nine Bulls and Two Tigers Pill. efficient!"
"Brother, you are stronger, and it is more cost-effective to take the Jade Chip Golden Elixir. Don't you want to go one step further and become a top general who is comparable to Ziyi? Brother is stronger, so there is still the idea of Xiao Xiao who dares to beat the foolish brother? "
Liu Yi hesitated immediately when he heard the words. Tai Shici, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and the others were very irritating to Liu Yi. Now, listening to Shang Ji's advice, thinking about the demeanor of a top general, and looking at the golden pill in his hand, he began to struggle .
"Besides, with Brother Yu's ability, since you can get the first Jade Chip Golden Pill, you can naturally get the second one! This one is specially prepared for brother, if brother doesn't accept it, just throw it away , Anyway, what I send will not be taken back!"
Seeing Shang Ji's resolute attitude, Liu Yi gritted his teeth and said: "So, I am ashamed to accept the kindness of my brother!
With that said, he solemnly put away the Jade Chip Golden Pill.
Deng Yan looked at the pile of things in his hands, but he didn't really refuse.
Including the title, these things are obviously for the exclusive use of civil servants. Obviously, these are tailor-made by Shang Ji for Deng Yan, unlike the Jade Chip Golden Pill, which may be transferred.
Deng Yan quickly took all of them under his command, but his heart became hotter and hotter.
