Chapter 1718 The situation is serious
But at that time, Li Chen had money on hand, and the issuance of treasury bonds and the savings on the bank were improving day by day. Who could know that the change would be so fast? Now that the capital is tight, the 300,000-odd Jin army's mouth became a huge burden.
.
Li Chen asked: "In terms of the current reserves of the entire army, how long can it last?"
"Seven days."
Wu Qingcang was obviously prepared, and he immediately replied: "If you save some, you can barely last until nine days or even ten days, but it will not exceed twelve days at most."
Seeing Li Chen frowned, Wu Qingcang instigated: "If the food supply from the Jin army can be reduced, at least twice the amount of time."
"You can think of it."
Li Chen glared at Wu Qingcang and said angrily: "I asked everyone to come to the house to help, but I won't say that if I do someone to do something, I won't even give it to others for food, is it reasonable?"
"I just don't mention these things, 300,000 mouths, at least 400,000 horses, the daily consumption is astronomical. Where do you ask them to go to solve this problem? If it cannot be solved, they will be in chaos. This is the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty.
The 300,000 Jin Jun was in a hurry to see him and could do anything. This was not advisable."
Wu Qingcang was not discouraged. He knew better than anyone else that it was impossible to cut off the 300,000 rations of the Jin army. It was equivalent to killing chickens and digging their own graves. The reason for this was to lay the groundwork for his follow-up words.
He stood up slightly, took out a letter and said, "Your Highness, look at this."
Li Chen took the official letter and took a look, just scanned it roughly, and then sneered: "King Ning is so fat that he is so embarrassed to reach out to the palace to ask for food and food for 150,000 troops, and he said he would be polite to the court to transport it and
The procurement was difficult, so I asked the court to convert all the food and supplies into cash for him, and to make his dream of a thousand years of prosperity!”
Ning Wang’s mother?
Isn’t that your highness’s grandmother?
Wu Qingcang had a strange expression, but he kept silent.
"This official letter will not come early or late, but it will come at this time. It seems that there is some noise, and it can't be suppressed."
Li Chen threw the official letter aside, turned his head and said to Wu Qingcang: "There is indeed a problem with the imperial court. The treasury was empty. After several years of natural disasters, it almost emptied the imperial court, and even the salaries of officials were paid.
If you don’t come out, the reason why you can take out money to fight this battle is because I have built a money house, absorbed the deposits of the people of the world, and issued national debts."
Although Wu Qingcang is far away from the border, he knows these two things.
He said: "Your Highness takes a different approach, and his wonderful strategy is really amazing."
"Screaming?"
Li Chen laughed at himself: "Now, I'm afraid many people are slamming the table and laughing."
"The money house is now running, and the continued issuance of national debts has also encountered problems. In short, the money house is the money, not from the court or from the palace, they are all from the people of the world and depositors, but the palace has withdrawn all of this money.
Now the people and depositors are being instigated by those who are interested and are rushing to take out the money."
"But the money house is gone. I have drawn tens of millions of taels of silver to spend on this battle. Where can I pay them back?"
Although Wu Qingcang focused on the military field, even the most ordinary person who had no economic knowledge had common sense and immediately understood what a huge crisis it would be if such a thing happened.
