Section 2291 Defense Modification

The matter of the Cheng family is definitely not that simple. It should be no problem if you want to borrow money from the Cheng family. The most important thing is that the Cheng family must have the money, but the problem is how to borrow money. Well, does it mean that the empire has no money, and I want to borrow hundreds of billions of silver from your Cheng family, and the interest should not be too high. Let's see if your Cheng family has this ability. I don’t really want to do it. The income is too low. If they are private individuals, the annual interest rate can be at least 60%, but if they are an empire, even if they are given some discounts, the annual interest rate The interest rate is only less than 20%. In the past, I would often do this business with people from the court, but now absolutely no one does that. They are not fools. If you can earn more profits elsewhere, why bother to struggle on this? No one would be so stupid. His Majesty the Emperor didn't say anything when he thought of the Cheng family. Speaking of which, the Cheng family hadn't been in the court much in the past few years, but it could be said to be a very big family in the past. Yes, when the empire was established, the Cheng family used a lot of manpower and material resources. Up to now, the Cheng family still has the iron scroll of the pill given by the founding emperor of the empire. No matter what it is, as long as it is not a conspiracy or something As for the matter, members of the Cheng family can avoid death three times. This kind of thing means that the Linghu family has such an honor for everyone. In fact, this is also a very normal thing. If the original emperor gave other people If there are too many of these things, his descendants will have no way to manage these people below. [Top][Point] If the novel ww.2wx.cm is not done well, a few random people will have this thing, who would be afraid of their own, as long as this thing is in your hands, basically They are all very good at doing things. When they are emperors, they govern the world with benevolence and filial piety. They will never do anything against their ancestors. If their ancestors are not doing very well, then this matter is really good There is no way to say it. It is estimated that some university scholars in the entire empire will start to make troubles by that time. In the end, the one I made for myself was called nondescript. Although the Cheng family has this thing, the empire is in a difficult time now. If they don't find a hole from the Cheng family, the other two probably won't be so easy to find. His Majesty the Emperor thought of the Cheng family's business. The Cheng family has always been a salt merchant. The salt merchants here are the same as those salt merchants in the feudal era on the earth. Their eyes are monopolized, and this profit is no joke. It is said that the money of the Cheng family can be described as a mountain. Since this is the case, it should not be so stingy. Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor said, "I remember that I have already told the major business families about this loan a while ago. Something happened, and they also donated money. I wonder how much the Cheng family of the salt merchants donated? Do you have a solid foundation?" Every word His Majesty said, these people would break apart, crumble, and ponder over it for a while, now At this time, His Majesty the Emperor did not want to praise the Cheng family when he mentioned this matter. Although many people here receive an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of silver from the Cheng family every year, but having said that, only the Cheng family will give it to them if they have this right. For their own money, if they don’t have this right, they will probably feel that it is superfluous even to look at themselves, so this matter must be done in that way, and the empire must be stable, even though they have taken a lot from the Cheng family. money, but the safety of the empire must be the most important thing at this time, and other things can be ignored at this time, but this matter must be done right now, and they must all understand this matter, they must be clear At this time, the people of the Cheng family have to take out the money at this time, otherwise the empire cannot solve the current difficulty, and there may be even greater troubles in the future.

General small troubles will naturally not come to their heads, but if it is a big trouble that affects the entire empire, it is not a small matter, and it will have a lot to do with them. Thinking of what to say, what His Majesty needs at this time is a flaw in the Cheng family. If I don't go out quickly to find out this flaw at this time, then there is something wrong with my brain, and I will never In order for such a thing to happen, it must be handled properly.

"His Majesty the Emperor, according to your order, because our empire has entered a stage of financial austerity, we have already discussed with people from the major families of the empire, and they have all performed very well. After all, They are also very enlightened people, and they all know that if something goes wrong in the empire, their life will never get better, so these people are very cooperative, except for the taxes they should pay, these people They also paid a lot of money. The Cheng family has always belonged to several big business families in our empire. This order can be said to have been dispatched early in the morning, but the Cheng family did not pay much attention to it. The thing is, they only took out the money half a month after they received the news. At the beginning, the whole Cheng family paid out 50 million taels of silver, which sounds like a lot. Compared with the income of more than 40 billion silver, there is still a big shortage. 3 The income of the Cheng family I am talking about here is of course not the total income of the Cheng family. Most of it is recorded by us, but according to the information we have received The Cheng family's annual income may reach trillions of silver, which means that a large part of it is news that the court does not know, and it is not known what methods the Cheng family uses to avoid it. , The Imperial Taxation Department is really negligent, if they are willing to check this matter carefully, I believe there will not be so many things.” This guy from the Ministry of Finance quickly led the war to the taxation department. This matter is also very good for them. People from the taxation department have not spoken out for a long time, and their fate is not very good. It will cost my own life, what is the price of alchemist's money? It may cause some ordinary people to rebel. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor would think that it was people like himself who drove the people crazy. Such things can be said, and I don’t know what their heads are thinking. If the roles can be changed, Then let the emperor come down and try this thing, and see how you do it. You can get the money back and do some things well. If you can do it, we really want to You have to study hard. If you don't have that skill either. I hope you don't try hard to embarrass us because of this matter. Actually, we don't have such ability. This matter is such an embarrassment. The head of the tax department can't wait to kick the Minister of the Household Department to death at this time. Why did this matter come to our heads. How can there be anyone in this world who does not evade tax dew? People from these big families are even better at doing this. Their brains are very powerful. Even if our tax officer goes, it will be of no use. The account books there are well written. Of course, this is not the main thing. If you check hard, you may find something useful. The main reason is that your pockets are full of other people’s money. Well, at this time, you will stand up and talk about other people's problems. If you all say that, things will not be so easy in the future. If the place where you want to hang out is not open to you, even your own family will not be willing to do this. There is no such thing as a good place to make money. It would be a strange thing if the people in the family can be happy.

His Majesty's eyes immediately fell on the taxation department. It turns out that I have so little money and you have something to do with it. The emperor didn't give the head of the taxation department a chance to speak, so he was pulled out by the Imperial Forest Army, and immediately asked people to speculate. Yes, I also said that in the future, if there is someone who collects money to open the back door for others, they will be dragged to the prison immediately. This is the result. Now these people are dumbfounded. What happened to the emperor? The Taxation Department can be regarded as an oil-and-water yamen, and it is not for ordinary people to enter. This guy used to have a good relationship with His Majesty the Emperor. Although he has not reached the stage where he can confide in his heart, he can be considered a monarch Not bad, but now they are directly locked in the sky prison, and soon some people started to spoof, they understood what was going on with the emperor, the emperor was short of money, and they all understood, here Talking about some ways to get money is simply nonsense, so no matter how you get money, it is impossible to get money too fast. There is only one way is the fastest, just like just now, casually give the boss of a department with good oil and water Grab it, in this way, the money in this guy's house will immediately go to the treasury, just like the guy who was pulled out just now, it is impossible for him to have tens of billions of silver in his house, just that guy Some of the treasures are estimated to cost billions of silver, and they know a lot about it. This guy has a huge seat made of pure jade, and the value of that thing is definitely more than billions of silver. , Now there is nothing left. It is a pity that such a thing is in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor. In the past, it was inevitable that some people would have a crooked mind. The imperial forest army, this thing can become their own, but at this time they dare not do it if they have some courage, they will do things based on winks, just like now, the teacher does not involve himself Even if this matter is not bad, if this matter really comes to my head, I will also have unlucky times, so I should not take the initiative to find trouble. Besides, who knows what this matter will develop into in the end? , If His Majesty the Emperor thought of that guy again that day, he might get that guy out directly. If that guy came out and found out that his treasure had arrived at Lao Tzu's place, wouldn't this be an innocent enemy for himself? , This is not an ordinary person, this person is also very powerful, that is when I regret it, in fact, at this time, His Majesty the Emperor really did not think about relying on speculators to get money, even the emperor understands Yes, these officials are nothing more than two types of people, one is the one who wants money, this is the best official, as long as he has a **, the other is the kind of honest and honest official . Don't such officials like silver? That is impossible. Such people also like money very much, but what they care more about is not the money, but their own reputation. These people are not easy to deal with. If these people do it Those things are also a very sad thing, so those who are greedy for money are better. His Majesty the Emperor is angry at this time because these officials are not serious about collecting taxes for themselves. You must know that taxes are the wealth of the entire country . Now the whole country belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. Since this is the case, then this matter should be considered in this way, and this matter must be done well for His Majesty the Emperor. If you don't have that ability, then get out of here quickly. Don't waste this time here. I don't know if I'm short of money. This can be regarded as an example to other people.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. This guy will have his own considerations when he does everything. At the beginning, this guy definitely didn't think about getting rich by relying on speculators. But the next day, people from the Royal Forest Army came to give him a reward. The guy from yesterday had assets of more than 15 billion yuan in his family, not counting those very expensive things. In other words, the assets of this family are more than 30 billion silver. Damn it, a tenth of the gap is just that good. How could such a thing happen? Since this is the case, then it’s enough to come to this guy’s subordinates once. Immediately, the people in the entire taxation system are unlucky. I was called to talk, the meaning of these people is also very obvious, I didn't think about what will happen to your official position, His Majesty the Emperor of Alchemy is short of money at this time, if you can contribute a lot of money, Then this thing can be done very well, and your official position will probably not have so many things. These people have seen the miserable situation of their boss, and they absolutely don't want to have one like that. Life, since the people above have said that, then it is certain that this matter will end like this. If this is the case, it is nothing more than to save money and avoid disasters. My son, tell them what happened here, and then quickly sold some of my real estate, and directly bought the family's money. Although they have become penniless, it doesn't matter, my own The seat is left there. As long as I do well in the future, there will be absolutely no problem with this matter. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a great help to the empire, although His Majesty the Emperor did not agree with this at the beginning. things, but later they could only succumb, and the only way to do things like this is to quickly get all the money of the empire, but such things are probably just a rescue. That is absolutely not allowed to do that. If you do that in the future, these people will definitely not forgive yourself. At the end of the trouble, you just don’t want to be a loner. They all have their own ideas. It’s understandable to be an official for thousands of miles only for money. You can’t make all the money earned by other people become yours. If this is the case, you might as well not do it. Come to do it, don't mess around.

When the people from Cao's House brought the news back, Li Wei was inspecting the coastal defense guns of his naval base. After hearing the news, he was dumbfounded. How could such a thing happen? Many people laughed at such things, but Li Wei did not laugh. When Hong Lie asked Li Wei the reason, Li Wei also said, "This matter is actually not a bad thing. For the Eastern Empire, At least it can let them know that their potential is still very huge. The emperor of the Eastern Empire is not willing to tear his face at this time. If one day they really want to gather the power of the entire empire to fight against us, I am afraid that at that time we will Not so happy anymore, these people will become our nightmare in the end, this is definitely not a joke, let the people below speed up, as long as our naval base is completed, no matter how these people are at the end The trouble can only be on their mainland, as long as we have mastered the ocean at that time, we can drive in along the inland river in the future, unless they have the great ability to directly block all the inland river. But I I guess they don't have that great ability." Li Wei said, the other people are not so young at this time, because what Li Wei said is very reasonable, if it is in a poor country, it will be very difficult. It is impossible for such a thing to happen. Even if their emperor wants to get all the money from the entire empire, but their empire is so poor that they can't afford food, what's the point? In the end, there was still nothing, and they all hurriedly devoted themselves to their work. Sometimes when they laughed at others, they also laughed at us. This is a certain thing.

"The installation of the coastal defense guns this time is very good. From this position, there is basically no problem in the front. As long as there are enemy ships coming, I guess they will come and go. .It’s just that transportation is a problem in this era. A shell of this 203mm coastal defense gun weighs more than 100 catties. People here can carry it, but there are not many shells on this fort. The place, if it is transported up from below. Just now I found some soldiers to test it. The fastest one takes three minutes, and they don’t have much strength to run up. Don’t expect them to be able to die quickly. Ah, the battle continues in this place. There can only be less than 1,000 shells stored here. There are 16 artillery shells here. If there is a real fight, these shells are not very good. A small war is no problem. Yes, but if the intensity is very high, these shells will not be enough." Hong Lie said holding the folder in his hand, some things here have been checked almost, and the problem he mentioned is not just here Yes, other places also have this problem, there is nothing the alchemist can do about it, the main reason is that the transportation capacity of this place is too weak, and there are no large machinery or anything, everything is only It can be done by manpower. Although many people on this continent are much stronger than people on Earth, if they all rely on their bodies, there will still be many problems. It will take a certain amount of time. I came to modify it. Li Wei had already watched the live ammunition shooting of the artillery just now. It can be said to be very good. This naval base occupies about 20 square kilometers, and the surrounding waters within hundreds of miles can be monitored. Good luck, there are already three squadrons of warships coming in. During the war, they can quickly go to the surrounding places where they need to go, and the coastal defense artillery can also be used without any warships. The entire base is defended, and there will never be any loss in the rear. Such a thing is also a very good thing for them. Of course, these people also waste a lot of brains running around. Otherwise, such a situation would not have happened. Li Cong had his own ideas about what Hong Lie said. He pointed to the other side of the cliff, took Hong Lie there and said, "Actually, we used to Forget about some simple machines on the earth. After entering the interstellar era, all our things are done around computers. It seems that without them, we would not be able to complete this problem. Our ancestors could not There are also many good inventions, just like the one in front of you, that is very good, we can do things like this, let the people below trim a pulley here, just like those in the past It’s like people fetching water, just use the rope to transport the shells up from below, so they can do a good job with the help of this thing.” Li Wei said with a smile, Hong Lie also suddenly realized at this time, just like Li Wei The same thing is said, in the past, they all relied too much on the power of computers. If there were no computers in the past, wouldn’t they have made many inventions, just like the thing in front of them. When there were no computers, they They will all do well, even better than they are now.

"This idea is really good. By the way, I read it just now. Is the army with only one regiment in this naval base a little less? Although it is a reinforced regiment with a four-four system, I feel that their defense The area is still too big. The island is definitely not small. Although the inside has been detected clearly, if the enemy chooses to land in this place, the strength of their regiment is only more than 10,000. They It may be hard to see, although these people seem to be quite a lot in normal times. It would be nice to wander around the island, but if there is a war, they will be within a hundred meters. At most, there are less than 30 soldiers on average, and besides, this is still the first line of defense, if we let them all be in the first line of defense, and if we don’t build a body in the back, we will be the ones who will suffer in the end.” Hong Lie is a qualified staff officer, he is different from other people, when some staff officers suggest something, they will look at what is going on here. Just like here. A lot of things have been built. If it is changed, there may be too many things that need to be changed. If this is the case, the entire firm will pay a higher price. In Hong Lie's view, those people are not very responsible. Soldiers should think about how to fight. As for the cost issue, it is not something that I have to consider. Thousands of military bases already have a lot of troops for each base and one regiment. It can be said that these troops are already a bit stretched for the people of Cao's House of Firms. If there is an increase in troops. This is really not that capable, but what Hong Lie said is indeed true. If there is no increase, if there is a war, it will be difficult to do things, but Li Wei doesn't have any The army is not. At this time, I can only change other ideas. Li Wei thought for a while and said to Hong Lie, "Old Hong, the question you mentioned is indeed very important. It can be said to have helped us a lot, Dan. At this stage of the division, you should be more clear than me. We absolutely cannot expand the army at this time. If we really expand the army, it is really possible to push people from the four major empires together. Well, we were able to get so much labor from the Eastern Empire with great difficulty. If these people can't do things well, our road will be even more difficult in the future. Now we can only let you staff come After doing this, you must formulate a battle plan, a simulated war, and let this regiment rely on their own strength to guard and live here. If they really don’t have that ability in the end, you must also give it to them. Enough explosives, to kill everything here, otherwise our gunpowder might end up in their hands, although they don’t have the materials and methods to prepare gunpowder yet, alchemists will use these things in the future. It must be possible to get it. If they really get something like this, we will really have no way to live in the future, and our casualties will be more in the end. This is We absolutely don't want to see something." Li Wei said helplessly, he didn't have an army himself, but alchemy asked people from the staff to make such a plan, no matter it was a headache for anyone The thing is, although the army of Cao's House has good weapons and advanced management experience, there is one thing they can't change, that is, their number, the enemy will be several times or even ten times their number at any time, If all these people rush forward, this matter will not be so easy to do. In the end, they may all encounter huge troubles. Hong Lie made a gesture of understanding. At this time, the people in their staff department It cannot be said that this matter cannot be done. If it is really impossible, these naval bases may be in danger. Since the hardware problem cannot be solved at this time, then we have to use some software problems to solve this problem. up.

After Hong Lie and Li Wei separated, they began to study the defense problem of the entire island. In fact, as long as it can be solved well here, then they can save a lot of manpower and material resources in the construction of other naval bases. , Material resources do not need to be saved for Cao's house, the main thing is this manpower, now these people have been working ten hours a day, although they all said that they can still live, but Li Wei I have already noticed that these people can maintain such high-intensity work for at most one month. If they still do it after one month, it is estimated that one-third of them will not want to do heavy physical work in the future, because they Their bodies will be overdrawn, and I have already created good conditions for them. For example, they enjoy eating and drinking very much, but sometimes as long as they exceed that limit, what will happen? There is no way around it, just like today's incident, where are these people? It must be time for a rest. Facing an empty island, Hong Lie seemed to have suddenly discovered a scene in his memory, that is, in the future, all the warships here will go out to attack the enemies of other empires. But when the warship goes out, the location here will be exposed, and the soldiers of the empire will rush up, and they all start to rush here one by one. After all, this place is very close to the mainland, as long as they have a If you have a ship, you can get here within a day. At that time, the sea is estimated to be full of enemy ships. The artillery here does not need to be aimed at all. Just fire a cannon towards the front. , can definitely sink the enemy. Because their enemies are everywhere. There is no need to look for it at all, and those enemies have no intention of dodging, it seems that they all feel what kind of fate they are now, and each of these people is very clear about this matter. Hong Lie started his calculation. Basically. If they attack from one direction, only a quarter of the forts built on all sides can move, of course. This is all when they are very far away. At this time, the fort can deal with one-third of their warships. When they are close, some artillery of the army regiment can also be used, but for various reasons For example, because they don’t have a commanding height, they can only destroy a quarter of the enemy, and a little more than half of the enemy will be lost on the sea. This is already a very good thing. If this If the number of troops coming is less than 200,000, the war will basically be considered a victory. Alchemist Hong Lie is not so naive, this is simply impossible. If the enemy wants to attack here, the number of people will definitely not be large. There will be less than 1 million people. Otherwise, it will be useless at all. They are not fools. These people understand very well when they do things. They must kill these people, otherwise I'm sorry for myself, the landmines left on the beach are also a very good thing. For Hong Lie, such things as landmines must be used, and there is no need to waste too much cost, but It can provide a lot of help to the garrison. The most important thing is the time. As long as there are landmines on the beach, those people will definitely not dare to charge up directly. They will move forward slowly. I don't know what these people are thinking. Could it be that if you walk slowly, he won't blow you up when you step on a mine? That is absolutely impossible, such a thing will not happen, so this landmine must be placed, and the number is absolutely indispensable, the entire surrounding beach is a must, of course, your own People have to distinguish this well, otherwise it will be ruined.

For these people, they think that their weapons are much more powerful than those people. In the past, a company or a few hundred people could occupy a county town, and a few mortars and a few shots could directly destroy them. The veterans in those counties couldn’t find the north. Such things might happen in the past, but in the future, it is estimated that they might not happen very much. In the past, people from the four empires thought that The people in Cao’s House don’t have such a big appetite, at most they just practice casually, but it’s different now, each of these people wants to occupy the entire continent, if there is any war in the future, It is estimated that it is possible to fight to the death with the people of Cao's Commercial Bank. Such a thing is very certain for them, so in the future, as long as the officers who are unfavorable to fight against the army of Cao's Commercial Bank are definitely not so On a good day, each of them will have a very tragic ending. The result of this is that the generals will drop everything and swarm the enemy. These people are not fools. Now they can make some casually. It's enough to confuse the above, but in the future, such things will not happen, they will have to face some tragic wars, and it is because of this that Hong Lie will continue to deploy this defense here, he It is necessary to build some towers and blockhouses behind the mines, especially the establishment of this blockhouse, all of which must be built with permanent fortifications. If other people want to come in from here, it is absolutely impossible. They must They paid a huge price. At that time, they would feel that every naval base of Cao's House was a hard role. If it was not handled properly, it might cause problems with their own teeth. It is also a very important thing for them, and such things must not be allowed to stir up trouble. As long as they fall down in this place, they will not continue to walk here. At that time, it is Cao's Commercial Bank. When the naval base is safe, the ability to investigate cannot be relaxed. The airship is a must-have. Now the airship is still a very powerful thing for people in other empires. At least they want to get it. If it comes down, it's impossible. If there is such a thing, it can definitely make the enemy give up a lot. Hong Lie feels that his defense system is not so easy to kill, and even if it does, they can still follow If the enemy is engaged in street fighting, the hand crossbows on your side need to be equipped. These defensive troops must be one by one. If the number is not enough, these weapons and so on are necessary. If you can't resist the enemy, then you all just find a piece of tofu to crash to death, and you don't need to continue here. We can't afford to lose that person. We have no defense against the attacking power of the navies of the major empires. In my eyes, it would be hell if the master weapons of those guys can be used. To be honest, most of the naval weapons of these major empires are used for duels at sea, and it can be said that they are rarely used on land. For them, it is unacceptable for them to use this kind of thing. In their view, such things should be on the sea. How could they come to land? This is where their strategy is wrong. For them, if you still have the awareness in front of you, you will not be able to defeat the people of Cao's House in the future. This is absolutely possible. It's a big loss. (To be continued..)
