In the Heavens

Hanchuan Chengnan Daying, the atmosphere at this moment is very strange. A group of middle and lower-level officers knelt on the ground tremblingly, waiting for Li Mu to fall down.

If the strong dragon does not crush the ground snake, the ground snake must be strong enough. Encountering a big boss who took a private army into office, the soldiers also had to persuade them.

Those who can't see the situation clearly have been hung up outside the camp. Different from the Shangguan who used to play both kindness and power, this one in front of him directly killed someone without agreeing to a word.

The people who had originally planned to rely on the group to make Li Mu throw a rat trap, have now completely given up their illusions.

Other officials were worried that the situation would cause a big mess and affect his official career, so Li Mu was not afraid.

The plan for resource collection was completed ahead of time, and now he is an official just to cover his eyes. If the trouble is big, it will be big, and it's not that you don't have a backstage.

Originally, he was not ready to climb up, so naturally he couldn't make a fool of these little characters, and wasted time in vain.

Dealing with a few soldiers oil is nothing but a big deal at all. For example, a certain thousand households who hit the muzzle were only beaten one and a half to death.

The face of the Great Zhou Empire is still to be given, and the imperial order officer can't naturally kill as he wants, but there is always no problem with a beating.

Li Mu still had the importance of starting, as long as he went back to lie down for three to five months, he would be able to get out of bed. If you get precious medicinal materials, the recovery time can be quickened.

As for whether there will be a place in the barracks after a few months, that is another matter. It's never difficult to be a boss who wants to vacate his subordinates.

Seeing that it's almost time to get off the horse, Li Mu restrained his momentum, and said meaningfully, "Get up! This school lieutenant doesn't want to make the relationship so stiff, but some people just don't know the interest.

Everyone is a soldier, there is no need to go around so many bends. The school lieutenant has been accustomed to domineering since he was young, and he is not accustomed to being provocative.

The brothers of the Forbidden Army can bear it, and you should be able to accept it too. It doesn't matter if you feel wronged and don't want to follow this school.

The school lieutenant doesn't like what is difficult for a strong man, so he has to go to activities if he wants to leave. Like the guys who haven't come to gather now, they will never use it.

If you want to stay, don't engage in moths. This school lieutenant cannot tolerate sand in his eyes. If it violates my rules, he may be on the list of deaths at some point.

If you are not convinced, you can go to the court for impeachment. If the memorial can appear in front of the emperor, then the official loses. "

The naked threat made the people who were already terrified become more and more frightened. Encountering such a domineering Shangguan is simply a waste of eight lifetimes.

But humanity is just like that. The stronger Li Mu's performance, the more behaved everyone will be, and he dared not take a step beyond the thunder pond.

The clamor in front of me was not only spoken to them; it was also used by them to bring words to the various forces in Hanchuan.

Even if you know that bragging means most, you don't dare to gamble. Now it is the Xungui Group headed by the princes of various places that controls the political affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"My lord is..."

"Well, let's talk to our lieutenant about the situation in the camp first!"

The flattering had just begun, and was interrupted by Li Mu first. The main reason is that the occasion is wrong. It doesn't hurt to raise a few flatterers in other places, except in the army.

Once this start is made, the combat effectiveness of the army is considered to be abolished. In the case of their own lack of strength, it is still very necessary to hold a combatable division in the hand.

After hearing Li Mu's words, the middle-aged man who was about to flatter him immediately changed his tone and said, "Go back to your lord's words.

We have five thousand three hundred and twenty-one people in Dingziying, and the actual number is two thousand, three hundred and twenty-eight people. Excluding the seven people who were enforcing military laws, there are a total of 1,983 people here today.

There is a serious shortage of soldiers, mainly due to insufficient military expenditure allocated by the court. However, the officer organization system is basically complete. As long as the military expenditure problem can be solved, it can be replenished at any time. "

While speaking, the middle-aged man still had some expectation.

Military expenditure is an old and difficult issue, not only plagued the court, but also plagued all front-line generals.

If money and food are not in place, it is inevitable to eat empty salaries. It seems that these generals are making a lot of money, but in fact they are just targets that are launched to attract anger.

As a rule, the treasury will first give a 20% discount to all the silver, and then the county officials will have to share it. In the hands of front-line generals, there is a total of 60 to 70% left, and a rebate must be given to the manager.

Of course, Shangguan's share is indispensable. If you don't go to the county center for activities, you won't be able to pay for the military.

The nominal full transfer has already been folded in half. If you don't get close to the treasury, you will get even less.

Normally, the captain would worry about it. The former lieutenant was transferred and left early. In recent months, there has been a gap in the transfer of power. Everyone was humble and resigned, and they really suffered a lot.

Now that I have changed to a strong boss, everyone naturally has expectations. Although the military expenditures are not allocated according to "noisy", a strong boss will definitely get more money and food than the one who swallows his voice.

In a sense, as long as the problem of military expenditure is solved, the problem in the military will be solved.

Soldiers at the bottom level don't have so many ideas. They are simply serving as soldiers and eating food. Whoever can solve the problem of money and food will be able to gain support, and everything else is just a trivial matter.

After picking up the teacup and taking a breath, Li Mu pretended to ask: "Gu Qianhu, the shortage of officers and soldiers is so serious. It's just the problem of our T-shaped camp, or is it the same in all schools in the county?"

Gu Changfeng, who was suddenly named, hurriedly replied: "The twenty-fourth school soldiers and horses of the county middle school are the same, and some are even more serious than ours.

Confronted with the problem of money and food, except that the top A-type camp is taken care of by the county government and has a slightly larger number of people, the other schools basically only retain about 40 to 50% of the establishment.

Recently, many county towns in the county have fallen, and the treasury's finances have further deflated. I am afraid that the next days will be even more difficult. "

As the culprit of the great chaos in the county, Li Mu knew better than anyone how terrifying the thunder he had planted.

Once the explosion broke, Liangzhou couldn't be quiet. Whether the county finances can not collapse, it all proves that the bureaucrats are really "smart and capable."

The rest of everyone’s life is not "I am afraid it will be more bitter", but "inevitably" will be more bitter. This is a sign of the end of a dynasty.

The rebellion broke out, and the government's fiscal revenue shrank substantially; but suppressing the rebellion required huge amounts of money and food.

The contradiction between fiscal revenue and expenditure that cannot be alleviated has emerged. If it is not handled properly, it will fall into a continuous vicious circle, which will eventually lead to the destruction of the dynasty.

As if the issue of military expenditures was just a trivial matter, Li Mu said nonchalantly: "You don't need to worry about military expenditures. This school lieutenant has his own consideration.

Your next task is to train your soldiers and horses and prepare them to send troops to counter the insurgency. As long as the lieutenant of the school only needs the results, the specific details are not so important.

If you don’t even know how to train the most basic soldiers, then you can roll up the bed as soon as possible and make room for those who have the ability to save the court’s precious military expenses. "

...

"My lord, the county guard asks you to go to the mansion to discuss matters."

The news brought by the soldiers rescued everyone from the storm.

Taking a look at the crowd, Li Mu nodded and said, "I see! I ask you all about the military training, and now you start to act.

This school lieutenant is going to check back, and the one who performed the worst, had better prepare an excuse in advance to fool me. "

After speaking, regardless of whether everyone could accept it, Li Mu immediately turned and left, heading straight to the county guard mansion.

The face is given to each other. When they first arrived, they arranged a grand welcoming banquet; now they call a meeting for the first time, and Li Mu naturally wants to save face.

Just entering the county guard house, Li Mu found that the atmosphere was not right. The three giants in the county were all dead at the same time, as if the sky was about to fall.

Nothing was too much, the three brothers Li Mu sat in their seats silently and waited for the result quietly.

After a long time, Cao Junshou said in a low tone: "Everyone is here, so let's get to the topic today!

I just received the news from the state government that a number of rebels appeared in Liangzhou and their arrogance was very arrogant. Xicheng County, not far from us, was broken by rebels last night.

The state capital was furious and decided to suppress the rebels in Xicheng County first. There will be no reinforcements in a short period of time, and we can only rely on ourselves.

Our Hanchuan has now fallen into nine counties, and we must not let the rebels continue to grow bigger. If you have any clever plans, you may wish to speak freely. "

While speaking, Cao Tiancheng also turned his attention to the three brothers Li Mu. He hadn't forgotten the scene of leading a private army into the city that day.

Compared with the many lounge rice bags of the county soldiers, Cao Tiancheng was obviously more optimistic about the private army brought by the three brothers Li Mu. It's just that the private army of the Hou Mansion is not under his control, so the three brothers Li Mu can only take the initiative.

"Master County ~www.wuxiahere.com~ The rebels sent troops to suppress the rebellion. Why did the nine counties fall and the ridiculous thing that they had not sent troops yet?

Could it be that some people in the county have eaten inside and out, colluded with the rebels, and deliberately delayed the dispatch of troops, which caused the situation to get out of control? "

Li Mu pretended to be surprised.

As if sending troops to suppress the rebellion, it was as simple as eating and drinking water, without any difficulty.

For an instant, Zhu Junwei's face was as ugly as pig liver. As the chief military officer of a county, he cannot escape the blame for this kind of incident.

Even if he knew that Li Mu was deliberately arching the fire, he could only endure it. At this time, it is easy for people to take a seat in a counterattack.

Seeing that the brewing was almost over, Cao Tiancheng explained: "Lieutenant Li doesn't know something. My situation in Hanchuan is special. Half of the troops in the county are guarding against monsters and beasts, and the mobile force is extremely limited.

In addition, the enemy was very cunning, and we rushed to the air several times, which led to the current situation. "
