Chapter 94

"The war spirit guild declared war on us and demanded that we surrender within three days."

"Isn't their basic market in Yangdu county? How to attack Kaiyang County? Our well water doesn't offend the river. I don't remember that we provoked the war spirit guild. "

"It is said that the warspirit guild wants to develop to the south, subdue Tibetan tyrant, sun Guan, Yin Li and other Mountain Tai thieves, and then plot to xiapi city."

"President, are we going to fight?"

"War!"

Chu Tian's room is boiling hot tea, responsible for the financial summer cool is reporting the latest financial expenditure.

"Fifty pairs of iron armor, the quality of silver grade, estimated to cost 400 taels of silver."

"Ten thousand arrows will be polished with wood from the logging yard and iron ore from the mining site. The price is cheaper than direct purchase, and the estimated cost is 350 taels of silver."

"It costs a lot to produce 500 crossbows for the 500 willow camp."

Xia Xia Liang points to the account book and explains to Chutian in detail every financial expenditure of Xiazhen. Her ideas are clear, and every expenditure can be traced back to raw materials.

During this period of recuperation in the cold winter, we can only say that the expenditure of Xiazhen is like running water, which has seriously overdrawn the Bank of Xiazhen.

The reason why Xiazhen can maintain its operation now depends on the booty seized from Liangshanpo, the support of the MI family, and the savings of the bank built by xialiang.

Xia Zhen embezzled five thousand taels of silver from the bank.

This is an adventure Chu Tian had to take, otherwise Xiazhen's finance would go bankrupt.

Only through war can we repay the principal and interest of the loan.

Fortunately, the bank is the property of the Lord's house, so the interest rate is not high.

"In the final analysis, war depends on national strength."

Chu Tian often spent several hundred taels of silver for each item. It seemed that the 1000 taels of silver Mi Zhu had subsidized and the 5000 taels of silver appropriated by Xia Tianliang from the bank were not enough for Chutian to squander.

"Lord, our finances will last three months. When the 500 soldiers of Xiliu camp are trained, we can pay 3000 troops for the first month. And then the next month Bankruptcy... "

Xia Xia Liang reported the expenditure item by item, and after closing the account book, he came to a conclusion that made Chu Tiandu frightened.

Three months later, Xiazhen declared bankruptcy.

This is the first serious financial crisis in Xiazhen.

After bankruptcy, the military can't be paid, the bank's loans can't be paid off, and the whole territory will collapse.

"What is the way to get through the crisis?"

Chu Tian doesn't pretend to understand and ask for opinions directly.

"The first way is to plunder the villages and towns in three months and seize at least 3000 taels of silver. We can spend the fourth month. And so on, until the monthly taxes of the occupied villages and towns can offset our expenses... "

"The second way is to borrow money, continue to raise funds from the townspeople, demolish Dongqiang and pay Paul. If people's hearts are raised to more than 90, the townspeople will have more trust in the money house of the Lord's house. "

"The third way is to sell land and farmland, auction the vacant land in the town, sell the land owned by the Lord's house, and change the king's land into private ownership. This will keep us free from worries for six months. The disadvantage is that it will have an inestimable negative impact on the future. "

"The fourth way is to open up the salt and iron monopoly rights and auction the mining rights, which can obtain a large amount of income in a short time, but has a great negative impact."

……

In the summer, there are so many cool places that Chu Tian can get the gold and silver he wants.

Chu Tian could not help but look at it with a new look.

There are a lot of ways that you can't think of.

But there is no free lunch in the world, and most of the ways of financing have serious negative effects.

In summer, he held up a hot cup of tea and sat in a critical position: "in short, war is the most effective way to solve the financial crisis, because the financial crisis is caused by the expansion of the army. Of course, we have to be prepared for the worst. We have to use other means to tide over the crisis temporarily. As for the negative impact, it can be gradually subsided in the future. "

"Then, as you say, prepare both hands at the same time. Recently, in the northern part of Kaiyang County, the chairman of the wolf guild where I work is leading several lords to resist the attack of another guild. The war between the players and the Lords began to break out, because of the impact of the three towns around the city, there are a large number of population requirements. If you don't annex the surrounding villages and towns, you will be swallowed up by others. This is probably the only way to survive in troubled times. "

"Are you going to get involved in the war between the two guilds?"

"I have this idea, but it's a pity that XueYue town is 120 kilometers away from our summer town. According to the march speed of 30 kilometers per day, it will take four days to arrive. The forced army will be faster, but it will lose its combat effectiveness. After arriving at XueYue Town, it may be attacked by the war spirit guild. "

"So your intention is to capture several towns to the north, and then use these towns as springboard to connect with XueYue town?"

"If our territory borders on XueYue Town, we can form a half circle around Langya city and echo each other in the future.""Your real intention should be to annex the twelve towns and thirty-seven villages of the wolf guild. If you annex the wolf guild, you will have a firm foothold in the South and north of Kaiyang County at the same time. "

"Smart."

Chu Tian also made no secret of his intention. The other side was a smart man. He didn't have to explain too much when he talked to her.

"You have to know one problem. If you develop to the north, the sphere of influence will be north-south along the Yi River, too narrow. As long as the middle town is captured, your territory will be divided into two parts. "

"My lips are dead and my teeth are cold. If I sit and watch the wolf guild be annexed by the war spirit guild, the war spirit guild will have two places in the south of Yangdu county and the north of Kaiyang County, and my pressure will be unprecedented."

"Well I only care about the city Cao. I don't know much about how you want to fight

Chu Tian did not expect to get specific operational advice from the cool summer.

Fang Xuanling and Zhou Yafu will provide detailed tactical plans.

What Chu Tian needs to decide is whether Xiazhen should intervene in the war between the two guilds.

In name, Chu Tian was a member of the wolf guild, so he should stand on the side of the wolf guild. The only trouble is that Xiazhen is not in the main sphere of influence of the wolf guild.

The main sphere of influence of wolf guild is in the north of Kaiyang County, while Xiazhen is in the south of Kaiyang County.

It doesn't sound far, but it's actually 120 kilometers away.

Chu Tian leads his troops to reinforce his troops, which may lead to being stolen by the surrounding lords or attacked by other towns on the way.

Chu Tian judged that the wolf guild would not be able to hold on so soon. XueYue town has been upgraded to a third level town. It is difficult to say who will win or who will lose.

Although XueYue is a female Lord, she is in the direction of a military general. She is still very good at fighting, and her territory is one of the best in Langya.
