The 2136th Day Arrived in the Capital

Li Cong's own calculations are very good. He thought that their front-line troops might not be able to support them. Who knew that those people really believed in the above-mentioned matter of bearing humiliation. There is no blood in the soldiers at all. I really don’t know what they think, but Li Cong has also swept away about tens of billions of silver from the hands of the Southern Empire through the currency crisis of the Southern Empire. It can be said that the Southern Empire has more than a dozen The annual tax revenue is not as powerful as Li Cong's all of a sudden. It should be enough to be satisfied, but his army will eat hundreds of billions of silver every month. It is also a gold swallowing beast. Such a thing He is not relentless when it comes to eating money. The next thing Li Cong has to do is to manage the people in the area he occupies, let them develop the economy well, and let his tax revenue be improved. If you can't fix them well, no matter how much money you throw, you can't make people's lives better. Li Cong understands the truth that teaching people how to fish is better than giving them fish. Don't talk about it, just talk about the matter in front of you. The people in the occupied area are much better than those outside. Their grain price is the same as before the war, fifteen yuan a catty. If the banknotes of Cao’s Commercial Bank can be exchanged in full for them, but they don’t have many people to exchange them. An important reason is that all kinds of stores in Cao’s Commercial Bank only accept their banknotes. After exchanging silver, should I exchange banknotes tomorrow? The trouble of going back and forth will kill me, but no one will do such a thing. In their view, the Southern Empire is no match for Cao's House, and the money is no problem.

Of course, in order to distinguish it from the other banknotes of the Southern Empire, the Cao’s Commercial Bank issued some new banknotes. These new banknotes have something that the people of the Southern Empire have not found, that is, there are some more at the bottom of the banknotes. Numerals, these things are clear to some people in Cao's House, this is what their boss let them know, this thing is called Arabic numerals, I don't know how it is called such a name. But after they learn this thing, those arithmetic problems are much faster than people on this planet. The main reason is that there are too many accounts in Cao's house. If this is not used, who knows when it will be. It may not be enough to get a huge central computer according to Li Cong's idea. At that time, I don't need the million-dollar bookkeeper. But it's not very realistic to get that thing now. It's better to get this thing honestly, as for other things, there is no need to start in advance, these numbers on the banknotes are for the common people in the occupied area of ​​​​the Southern Empire. The previous banknotes in your hands are about to expire. Although the blockade is very strong, it is difficult to determine whether the people from the north of the Southern Empire will bring a large amount of banknotes to exchange them. If so, they will suffer a lot. , using this can still pressure the Southern Empire government to give yourself some preferential conditions. Now that you have these figures, can you see the banknotes in the northern part of the Southern Empire at a glance? Li Cong also accepted Wu Zuoxi's suggestion. The banknotes in each region of each empire are different. If there is any conflict, this will be used to restrict you immediately. Of course, this cannot be used often. You will feel that this banknote is not good, and then there will really be problems. Many people will not use it, and your banknotes are useless no matter how good they are.

The airship of Wu Zuoxi and Gu Xin can be said to be the slowest airship in history. They will never let this speed go too fast, because they have not completed some things in the Southern Empire.

If they go quickly now, many things may not be able to be done, because what is needed most now is time. Some people in the Southern Empire are not without brains. When this financial war is about to end, they also feel Come out, why are there so many rumors in China at this time? If they wanted to find the source of this rumor a while ago, they could really find some people on the street, and they could find some evidence by following the vine, but now Those people have already finished their work, why do they still come out? Naturally, they are not fools. Just like this, the Southern Empire has suffered such a big loss for nothing. It is estimated that it will not be possible to recover in 20 or 30 years. One plan is to starve the frontline troops of the Southern Empire. The influence of the regional uprising army, especially which one of the sabers, they have already controlled a lot of transportation channels. Now less than one-third of the troops on the front line of the Southern Empire can eat regular food. There is no such possibility for people, either one meal a day, or the rotten food that can no longer be rotten, plus some local officials near the battlefield colluded with the generals in the army, these people directly put The military rations were pulled out and sold. Anyway, so many rebels would just say they were robbed, and they would believe this.

In the past, they naturally didn’t have such guts, but it’s different now, isn’t it? Many people now know that the main thing the rebel army robs is food, and they can do anything for food. Without them, let alone hundreds of tons of grain, even if the local officials lost hundreds of catties of grain, they might be arrested by the officials of the Southern Empire. Now so many places have lost grain, hundreds of tons The loss of hundreds of tons is not a rare thing now. If all these local officials are dismissed, where will the Southern Empire find so many people to handle affairs, so the above will acquiesce in such a thing. Things, let’s talk about it, it’s nothing to starve to death a few soldiers, they are just some untouchables, the people below are not fools when they get money, so naturally they have to send some up, otherwise these people don’t know what to do. How comfortable, how can I live a good life? Of course, I want to give them certain benefits. There is a mouth on the top and bottom, and everyone gets what they want. The worst thing is the soldiers on the front line. Protecting those so-called countries with their own lives. But in the end, they had nothing, and they couldn't even keep their own stomachs. How many soldiers like this would sacrifice their lives to the people of the Southern Empire? Let's look at the Cao's House opposite them, but they kept giving It's delicious, let's look at the treatment of others. Although they can't go to the Cao's Commercial Bank now, they know that the war will end one day. At that time, they can go there by themselves. Just lay a foreshadowing.

For these insurgents in the middle. Li Cong also had his own arrangements. Although the war on the front line is over, they are also a very important reason for the instability of the Southern Empire. If all of them are killed, the Southern Empire will be a few years away. It doesn't even take that long. The whole empire will grow again. This time the hatred with the Southern Empire has reached the bottom of their bones, they will not let it go, they will definitely find an opportunity to get it back in the future. Rather than being in trouble at that time, it is better to continue to support them. Anyway, all support is underground. The frontline battlefield is just over, and there are still a lot of military supplies that are useless. It is better to directly support them. Just give it to them, anyway, it is difficult to transport it back, and it will save a lot if you hand it over to them directly, so at night, a large number of airships of the Cao's House started the transportation. At that time, I just threw some things casually, and never showed up. At that time, I invested a lot, but it was nothing compared with this time. Now that the investment is so huge, it is natural to be with these people. Let's have a good talk, Chou Niu is a representative of Cao's House, he is in charge of meeting with the leaders of the rebel army, talking about some current affairs, some more important things, the rebel army will not care The people from Cao's House of Merchant Company, what they fancy are the supplies worth tens of millions of taels in Ugly Niu's hands, and these things are what they need most.

The twelve zodiac signs are basically the rising stars of the intelligence department of the Cao’s House. They are all in charge of their own part. Originally, the boss should be called Zishu, but that guy has to call himself Mole. , what you want is your own business. This guy has been in charge of the capital of the Southern Empire for a long time. This kid has contributed a lot in this financial war. Behind him, the ugly cow is already Started to act, the task Li Cong gave him was to firmly control these rebels with the materials in his hands, and let these rebels become the alliance of Cao's firm, although they were all like this in the past relationship, but this relationship has not really been determined, and the rebel army does not think that the people of Cao's House of Commerce are their bosses. The reason why they cooperate with Cao's House of Commerce is because they all need certain things. You will cooperate with the people of Cao's Commercial Bank under the stimulation of things. What Ugly Cow has to do now is that things can be given to you, but you must listen to our greetings. If you are not obedient, then I'm sorry. I will give it to you, and you have to unite with those obedient people to kill you, this is the most important thing.

Although there is a girl in the name of the ugly cow, this guy is not a tall person. From the appearance, this guy is the same as a scholar, but he is not a scholar. Anyone who knows this guy Everyone knows that he is really ruthless in doing things. This time he came to the mountains to meet with the leaders of the rebel army. He has a good plan. It is best to listen to himself. If you don’t listen, you can keep it. There is no other role, this guy came with a company, his own mount is a level 7 Tirachi wolf, in the past, such a thing belonged to the wolf king, but now, such a thing is not I know how many have been bred. Most of the wolf cavalry in Cao's house use this. In fact, according to his idea, people from the two companies don't need it. It's just that the higher-ups feel that he has to be here no matter what. Some manpower, besides, he also has a lot of good things on his body. If something goes wrong, it will be bad. Although he himself is a seventh-level fighter, there are quite a few masters here. When he left, this guy What he said was good, but after he entered the territory of the Southern Empire, he dispersed his men and rushed into the mountainous area in the middle with a few wolf cavalry. He didn't need to contact each family. Anyway, my own people have already sent the news, as long as those people have no problem with their brains. They will all go to the place they agreed on. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to go, you won’t need our assistance in the future.

Now there are nearly a dozen uprising forces in the central region of the Southern Empire. If the high-level officials of the Southern Empire wiped them out, these people would come over to show their loyalty, but if there is no army of the Southern Empire, they will also start Those who snatch territory, there is always competition in this world, and these people are not fools, they are all striving to use the greatest strength to strengthen themselves. They also understand. In the past, it was all because the people from Cao's House were staring at the front. The Southern Empire did not have such a strong force to deal with them. In fact, they should all see themselves clearly. To put it bluntly, they are a clown. As long as one-tenth of the troops on the front line of the Southern Empire come down and surround them all. There was nothing they could do. Many people have also said, shouldn't the people from Cao's Commercial Bank help us, but now what is the use of you. Why did the people from Cao's Commercial Bank help you? Unless there is a problem in their minds, no matter what you do at this time, you need a reward. Before, you could help us cut off the transportation line of the Southern Empire. Of course, we will help you, and we don’t need it now. You guys, why do I give you so many things? In fact, at the beginning, these people didn’t want to be arrested by the Southern Empire. At that time, what they said about making decisions for the people was still true, but now everyone Now that they have their own little calculations, all they think about is their own territory or something. As for the people, they all go to one side.

Saber's organization can be said to be the closest one among the dozen or so organizations to the place agreed by Ugly Bull. Although Saber is very smart, but because of the Southern Empire's focus, his team now has more than a dozen Thousands of people, among these forces, can be said to be the least one, but they do the most things, and they are also ranked first on the aid list of Cao's House, so it is a good time for Saber to participate in this moment They are very confident, and they are completely different from some people who look very powerful but are useless. Now, in terms of the number of people, they have the most people with a red beard on their side, more than a million people. It occupies more than a dozen counties and cities, almost reaching the size of a province, but what they do is not very good. As long as the government troops come, they will flee. A few days ago, the Southern Empire 7,000 cavalrymen recovered a county occupied by his subordinates. At that time, his subordinates had nearly 100,000 people. The difference of more than ten times his people did not dare to fight. One is theirs. The reputation is also the worst. The red beards have not done anything for the common people since they got up. Most of the things they do are robbing to get money, and they basically don’t do other things. The first time they came here, it can be said that they are the most guilty one. They all got the wind in advance. In the future, the assistance of Cao's Commercial Bank will definitely be part of it, and there is even a competition mechanism. If they can't complete the above If it's a mission, it's gone.

Ugly Bull rode his own magic beast and galloped quickly in the mountains. It can be said that his own thinking was correct. If he didn't leave those people behind, it would probably take half a month to wait for them to come here. , Now it took me three days to run here. Several bosses have come here, but the ugly cow didn't come out quickly. He has to wait for everyone to arrive before he comes out. , if it came out too early, wouldn't it mean that I lost face and I wasn't reserved enough? Women often use this word. In fact, it also has the same meaning for men. The ugly cow didn't expect the saber to come So early, although Saber is very close to here, he has read the information about Saber, and he is very arrogant. This time Saber is also listed as a stabbing head. Will this guy use it? What kind of embarrassing things did my military achievements make me do, but it was also said above that this stupid guy had to stay, and the things he did by himself were several times that of others. , that is to say, this guy is using the best one. Now all the soldiers on the front line of the Southern Empire still hate this guy to death. If this guy hadn't cut off the main artery, it would be impossible for other people to help If you don't go up, during this war, especially the hearts of the soldiers are very difficult to figure out. As long as there is even a little bit of a bad place, the whole thing may become ugly.

"Boss, we have already checked clearly. They all came here with 30 people according to your request. There are quite a few masters in these rebels, but most of them are fifth-level fighters, so stop it." , if the troops from the front of the Southern Empire really come down, they won’t be able to resist anything at all. I also took a look at their combat skills. It’s probably okay to bully the common people. The last time the real guns came, their chances of winning would be 30% at most. If it weren’t for the things we aided, it would probably be less than 10%. Even the army of the most powerful Erduan is basically the same. But The main reason why Ersha can do that is that this guy has a better brain. If he didn't think of blocking the road with boulders, the transportation line would be fine. The discipline of those under him is very good. , although these people used to be common people, but now they have learned how to bully the common people, these people can do anything to bully the common people one by one, it is the second idiot who does it better , His subordinates rarely bully the common people, so his team has to eat more around than those people." A guy under Ugly Cow said that there are quite a few people in the dozen or so provinces around here. Those who have been favored by the Cao's House of Firms, it seems that the team of Ersha is almost the same as when it was first established.

"Hehe, speaking of these people, they should be like this. They basically don't have much ability, and when they get up, they don't think of the so-called righteousness. The first thing they think of is their own enjoyment. I know why they always Is it because the territory came so quickly at the beginning, and now it basically doesn’t increase much?” Thinking of the contempt in the eyes of those ugly bulls, he really doesn’t think much of these people. They all did a good job in time, but don't talk about going out to expand recently, even some of their own forces may not be able to hold on. Seeing their subordinates shaking their heads, the ugly cow is helpless. Why are his subordinates so stupid? He said, "These people are uneducated, and they are all people who are rich and easy. These people are now afraid that they will be wiped out by the army of the Southern Empire. They are all trying their best to recruit troops. Well, the main thing for these people is not to liberate more people, what they think more about is how to keep their own territory. It is really shameful for us Cao's firm to cooperate with them, but the negotiation has not started yet, we have to rely on These people have given us some help, that’s all right, you just continue to investigate, and when they are all here, I will go out and talk to them about our affairs. It’s okay if they are obedient, but if they are disobedient, Let me show them some color." There was a strange light in Ugly Cow's eyes, and several people here also felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped, and his boss really has the ability to lower the temperature.

Ugly Cow has also seen a lot of things along the way. To be honest, these rebels were very good at the beginning, but now they have changed. At the beginning, they occupied a city for most of the time. They were all robbing some things in the government. Who knew that they would start to go to the homes of those landlords later. At that time, these people even wanted things from ordinary people's homes, and even did things like bullying men and women. Some local people have said that some of their ways of doing things are even more hateful than those in the Southern Empire. At the beginning, many people supported them, but now these people hate them, and even some places have to help the government and army to destroy them. Li Cong also knows these things, so this time let the ugly Niu explained all the things here carefully. They must not be allowed to develop like this. An army without the support of the people is useless at all. In the end, these people may still do bad things. At that time, it would be better not to be with them. Ugly Cow doesn't want to tell them at all, because he knows that these people will not give up in their minds. This is what uneducated people are like, but the higher-ups let themselves say, You can't disobey orders, no, it's just a matter of education. If you don’t listen, we’ll go our separate ways in the future. Take a look at the Tira eating wolf below us, and go to other places quickly, maybe we’ll find some new discoveries.

Looking at the high-level officials of the Southern Empire, they couldn't stand the actions of Cao's House, but they had no other way. The funds in their hands were not as much as others. Besides, hundreds of millions of people died in this war of the Empire. There are still many people. Lost the territory of dozens of provinces. This can be said to be the biggest loss ever seen for the Southern Empire. Many people are scolding that the current emperor is incompetent, and the emperor has nothing to do when he hears such words. He just killed some scholars at the beginning. It was these people who made the trouble. But you can't kill all the scholars, right? How many of them will still have some strength, and the officials in the court are all scholars, and they have killed a lot. It's not good for anyone. The Southern Empire's treasury is now empty. At this time, they thought of a very important issue, that is, if they negotiate with the people of Cao's Commercial Bank, Cao's Commercial Bank will definitely say that all previous debts must be admitted. Yes, in this case, they will not be able to be financially independent even after a hundred years, so before the peace talks, the people of the Southern Empire also began to lobby the other three empires, hoping that they can help them take on some debts, and at the worst they have to let The Southern Empire brought back some important tax revenues. Otherwise, this matter would not be easy to handle. The people in the Southern Empire thought well, but are the people in the three empires all fools? Would they do something like this? You didn't think of us when you spent money, now that you have no money, you want us to bear the debt with you, I really don't know what you think.

The people of the three empires were also very angry at why the people of the Southern Empire put forward such a condition. The people of the Southern Empire also had their own ideas. You all participated in the fight with the people from Cao's House of Commerce back then. Didn’t you say at that time that the three families will advance and retreat together, but why don’t you have the courage now? Now that we are defeated, this matter will become our own business. If we in the Southern Empire can take the Cao family If the people in the commercial bank are killed, things will not be like this. It is estimated that you will immediately confiscate the property of Cao's Commercial Bank and so on, and you will not need to pay back the money owed to Cao's Commercial Bank immediately. Your calculation is very good, but it is different now, you have to bear it with us, otherwise our secret contracts will be announced, anyway, now the Southern Empire has nothing, If I can't pull you into the water together, I'm really sorry for myself. The people of the three empires were really angry to death when they heard the people of the Southern Empire say that. I really didn't expect such a thing to happen now. They also I dare not directly offend the people from the Southern Empire. If the people from Cao’s House really wanted money, they wouldn’t pay. They did say that at the beginning, as long as they were from the Southern Empire If the people from Cao's House can be killed, they will follow along to search the property of Cao's House. Who knows that the Cao's House has started to cause the food crisis in their country before they start preparing. Where are they? He had the guts to confront the people from Cao's House, but he didn't expect to make a fuss, but now something like this happened, it's a shame.

What the Southern Empire needs most now is to restore the food supply. Although there are a lot of food reserves in some areas of the Southern Empire, there are already cases of people starving to death in some places. Many people are so hungry that they are going crazy. Well, it’s not that there is no food, it’s that the food in the world is more expensive. Originally, the high-level officials of the Southern Empire thought that the big families had raised the food, and they wanted to earn high profits? In fact, this is really what they wished for, and they didn't mean that, because they didn't have much grain in their hands. Since the Cao's House started doing grain business, no one has been doing this business at all. There is not much profit. The price of Cao’s House remains unchanged. No matter how it fluctuates, the weather will be the same. The most important thing is that the food they sell is more delicious. There is no other way. Compared with them, whoever comes and goes often will do this business. Now that the court has bought such a little food, the price is naturally higher. Those who have money can have food, and those who have no money can only eat. They starved themselves to death, that's what happened. What they hope now is that the people from Cao's House can quickly sell grain in the Southern Empire, if possible. They can even make concessions for this, but the people of Cao's House are walking slowly now, and the airship is moving slower than a carriage. Such a thing is probably something they can do, and the airship needs to be overhauled every now and then. Or it's troublesome of one kind or another, anyway, it's just that you can't walk fast.

But even if it is a matter of delaying time, there must be a time, just like now, the time is basically up, if they go slowly again. It is estimated that everyone in the world will talk about them. How could it be so slow? The Southern Empire didn't pay much attention to the negotiators of Cao's House. In fact, they paid great attention to it, but because of the problem of face, they couldn't send too powerful people there. If this is the case, many people will probably say it. They will say it in their hearts. They have to give them a blow, they also understand that when negotiating, they should make the other party weaker, and they also organized a lot of ordinary people to protest at the place where they landed. This is also learned very quickly. They can enter the senior management of Cao's Commercial Bank with this skill, but they have only learned a little superficial, and it is not a short time to use it. What if you are a victorious country? It's all possible, but now you are defeated, so don't rush to coax them, so that they can sign an armistice contract with you quickly, and you are still making trouble here, this contract is what you want to sign, if If you don't like it, they may go back, so it's not good for them to make trouble at this time, and Wu Zuoxi is not half of the people, he is not a fool, naturally he will understand what's going on Yes, people give me a blow? Aren't you joking? In the past, it was Lao Tzu who gave you this, but now it's you.

Seeing that there are a lot of things written on the outside about Cao's House, go back, people in Cao's House are bastards, anyway, they didn't say that the people in Cao's House are good people, so Wu Zuoxi can still be happy under such circumstances Hehe, the person who came to welcome Wu Zuoxi is the mayor of the capital. After all, he is a third-rank official. This level is not low for ordinary people or ordinary businessmen, but the entire capital is better than him There must be eight thousand people if there are not ten thousand people. You brought such a person here, and you made it clear that you want to make us look bad. We are very clear about their abilities. It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as there is one who can pass on the message, other officials are not needed, just see what skills you have now, if it doesn't work in the end, we can go back directly, anyway, when the time comes It must be your fault that the higher-ups want to blame. The troublemakers on both sides probably have nothing to eat. Looking at each of them, you can see people from Cao's House of Commerce coming. This is called working harder. Well, in fact, these people are all extras, and they are all servants of the Southern Empire court. Their master told them to come here and shout, so they just come. As for other things, I don’t need to know. As long as you can do the things that your master taught you, you can do the rest of the things. In the future, your own benefits will definitely be indispensable.

"Hehe, I thought that many people would welcome us when we came here. I thought that I came to liberate these people. Now it seems that it is not the same thing. These people all look at each other. Not ours, these people look at us with hostility, each of these people feel that we are their enemies, the way they look at us, look at you, these are not good people , They all feel that we are like beasts, and we all understand what these people do. Since the negotiation environment is like this, I don’t think there is any need to negotiate. If it continues like this, I feel that I will be in a bad mood Okay, if I'm in a bad mood, there's no need to talk about it. When I do things, I know how to look at my own mood. If I'm in a good mood, I can do anything, but When I’m in a bad mood, I don’t want to do anything, it’s better for us to go back, come here, pass down the order, and let the airship take off again.” Wu Zuoxi said with a smile, that’s really not the look of wanting to negotiate, directly I went back, and the city lord who loved this city was dumbfounded. If he really left, the higher-ups would have to cut off his head. It was so easy to call someone. It's done like it is now, if you don't lose your head, whoever loses your head will immediately let the people around you get out of here. It doesn't make any sense to make a fuss now, but many people in the court feel that this matter can be made a fuss Well, that's fine, you've become what you are now, people don't care about you, and you still make trouble, and the future of the entire empire will be wiped out if you make trouble, a bunch of damn things.

"No, no, Mr. Wu, please stop, this matter is really not done well, as you know, both of us are in a state of war, and the common people on both sides must be careless when they do things. What do these people know, their minds are full of muddleheaded, and those people who just randomly fanned the flames ran out immediately, don’t worry, we upper-level people understand this very deeply.” This guy quickly stood up and said, Wu Zuoxi just smiled when he heard what he said, what happened to you people at the top? Don't the people at the top hate us?

"Oh? I really didn't expect it to be like this. It seems that the adults on your side are very friendly to us. Is that understandable? The people on your side feel good about us. , This thing is also good, you people must have done something wrong, this war is your mistake, isn't it so?" Wu Zuoxi said with a smile, just killing the man opposite him. The guy won't give the word to the next one, what did he say? How can we talk about the later things from the common people's troubles? How can this be admitted as the defeat of one's own empire? If this is the case, I will definitely be beheaded when I go back. If I have to choose, it is better to let them leave here and be beheaded, at least I can be tough once. (To be continued..)
