Chapter fifty-six, strong performance

The atmosphere at the south camp of Hanchuan City was particularly strange at this moment. A group of middle and lower-level officers knelt on the ground tremblingly, waiting for Li Mu to fall.

If a strong dragon does not defeat the local snake, it must be strong enough. If a big boss takes office with a private army, the soldiers will be cowardly.

Those who couldn't see the situation clearly are now hung up outside the camp. Unlike Shangguan who used to play with kindness and power, the person in front of him killed someone with disagreement.

The people who were originally planning to rely on the group to make Li Mu afraid of the enemy have now completely given up their fantasies.

Other officials were worried that the big thing would affect their career, so Li Mu was not afraid.

I completed the resource collection plan in advance, and now I am just an official to cover up my eyes and hears. If I make a big deal, I will make a big deal, and I am not without a backstage.

I was not ready to climb up, so I naturally didn't have to worry about the snake's tail with these small characters and waste time in vain.

Just dealing with a few soldiers is nothing big. For example, a thousand households who hit the gun were beaten to death.

The Great Zhou Empire still has to be given face, so the imperial court's orders cannot kill him as soon as he wants, but there is always no problem of beating him and venting his anger.

Li Mu still has some serious actions. He can get out of bed as long as he goes back and lies for three or five months. If he gets precious medicinal materials, the recovery time can be accelerated.

As for whether there is still a position in the military camp after a few months, that is another matter. It is never difficult to be a boss to undermine his subordinates.

Seeing that the power was almost done, Li Mu restrained his momentum and said with some meaning: "Everyone is up! This lieutenant doesn't want to make the relationship so stiff, but some people just don't know what to do.

Everyone is a soldier, so there is no need to take so many turns. This lieutenant has been used to being domineering since he was a child and is not used to being provoked by someone.

The brothers of the Imperial Guard can bear it, and I think you should be able to accept it. If you feel wronged and don’t want to hang out with this lieutenant, that doesn’t matter.

This lieutenant doesn't like to force others to make things difficult. If you want to leave, go to the event quickly. For example, the guys who have not yet gathered will never be used.

If you want to stay, don't make any trouble. This lieutenant can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. If he violates my rules, he might be on the list of deaths at any time.

If you are not convinced, you can impeach the court. If the memorial can appear in front of the emperor, then I will be considered as losing."

The naked threat made the already terrified people even more frightened. Meeting such a domineering Shangguan would be a bad life for eight lifetimes.

But this is how human nature is. The stronger Li Mu shows, the more well-behaved everyone becomes and dare not step out of the way.

The clamor in front of me was not only for them to listen to, but also for the help of all forces in Hanchuan.

Even though we know that bragging is mostly about the meaning of being awesome, we dare not gamble. Now the people who control the government of the Great Zhou Dynasty are the group of nobles led by the princes of various places.

"Sir,..."

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

The flattery was just beginning, but Li Mu interrupted it first. The main reason was that the occasion was wrong. It would be okay to raise a few flattery elsewhere, but it was not possible in the army.

Once this starts, the combat effectiveness of the army will be devoid. When its own strength is not good, it is still very necessary to hold a battleable army in your hand.

After hearing Li Mu's words, the middle-aged man who was about to flatter him immediately changed his tone and said, "Reply to the words of sir."

Our Ding camp has a total of 5,321 people, and actually 2,328 people are on the list. It does not include the seven people who are enforced by military law. There are a total of 1,983 people here today.

The number of soldiers is serious, mainly due to insufficient military expenditure allocated by the court. However, the military officer system is basically complete. As long as the military expenditure problem can be solved, the full staff can be filled at any time."

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

Military expenditure is a difficult problem, which not only plagued the court, but also plagued all front-line generals.

If the money and food are not in place, it becomes inevitable that you will get a job. It seems that these generals are making money, but in fact they are just targets to attract anger.

According to convention, the government treasury will give a 20% discount on the silver allocation, and then the county officials will have to divide it into one. When they reach the front-line generals, there are only 60% or 70% left in total, and a kickback must be given to the manager.

Of course, Shangguan’s share is also indispensable. If you don’t go to the county to engage in activities, you will not be able to pay the military expenses at all.

The nominal full transfer has been made in half. If the treasury is not tight, there will be even fewer ones.

In the past, the lieutenant was naturally worried. The former lieutenant left early, and there was a gap in power transfer in recent months. Everyone was humble and said lightly, and they suffered a lot.

Now that a strong boss has changed, everyone naturally has expectations. Although it is not allocated military expenses according to "nots", a strong boss will definitely get more money and food than a swearing master.

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

The soldiers at the bottom don’t have so many ideas. They just want to join the army to eat food. Whoever can solve the problem of money and food will gain support, and the rest are all indiscriminate details.

After picking up the teacup and blowing a breath, Li Mu asked pretending to be unknown: "Gu Qianhu, the vacancies of officers and soldiers are so serious. It's just the problem with our T-Bank, or is it the case for all the schools in the county and middle schools?"

Gu Changfeng, who was suddenly named, hurriedly replied: "There are all the soldiers and horses in the 24 colleges in the county, and some are even more serious than our situation.

Being trapped in money and food, except for the top-ranked A-zi Camp, which was taken care of by the county government, with a slightly larger number of people, other schools basically only retained about 40% or 50% of the staff.

In recent times, many counties in the county have fallen, and the government treasury finances have become more deficient, so the days ahead may be even more difficult."

As the culprit of the chaos in the county, Li Mu knew more than anyone how terrifying the thunder he had laid in this wave was.

Once it explodes, Liangzhou will not be quiet. The county's finances will not collapse, which proves that those bureaucrats are really "smart and capable".

The days for everyone will not be "will be more bitter", but "necessarily" will be more bitter. This is a sign that a dynasty is heading towards the end of the year.

Rebellions broke out everywhere, and the court's fiscal revenue shrank significantly; but suppressing the rebellion required huge amounts of money and food.

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

As if the military expenditure issue was just a trivial matter, Li Mu said as if nothing had happened: "You don't need to worry about military expenditure, this lieutenant will consider it.

Your next task is to train troops and prepare for sending troops to combat the rebellion. This lieutenant is not that important as the results and specific details.

If you don’t even know the most basic training, then you can get out of bed as soon as possible and free up the position for those with abilities, so as to save the precious military spending of the court.”

...

"Sir, the county magistrate, please go to the mansion to discuss matters."

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

After looking at everyone, Li Mu nodded and said, "I understand! I'll ask you all about the military training. Now you can start taking action.

I will check back. The one who performed the worst is better to prepare an excuse to fool me in advance.”

After saying that, regardless of whether everyone could accept it, Li Mu immediately turned around and left and headed straight for the county magistrate's mansion.

Face is given to each other. When they first arrived, they arranged a grand welcome banquet; now they convened for the first time to discuss the matter, Li Mu naturally wanted to give face.

Just after entering the county magistrate's mansion, Li Mu discovered that something was wrong. The three giants in the county looked as if the sky was about to collapse.

There was nothing wrong with it, the three Li Mu brothers sat silently in their seats and quietly waited for the results.

After a while, Cao Junjun Shou said in a slightly low tone: "Everyone is here, then let's get to the topic today!

I just received news from the prefecture that many rebels appeared in Liangzhou, and they were very arrogant. Xicheng County, not far from us, was captured by the rebels last night.

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

My Hanchuan has now fallen into nine counties, so we must not let the rebels continue to grow. If you have any tricks, you might as well speak freely."

While speaking, Cao Tiancheng turned his attention to the three brothers Li Mu. He did not forget the scene of leading the private army into the city that day.

Compared with the county soldiers' lounge meal bags, Cao Tiancheng was obviously more optimistic about the private army brought by the three brothers Li Mu. However, the private army of the Hou Mansion was not under his control, so he could only let the three brothers Li Mu take the initiative to propose.

"My county magistrate, the rebels directly sent troops to suppress the rebellion. Why did the nine counties fall and the misfortune of not sending troops yet?

Could it be that someone in the county is traitorous, colluding with the rebels, and deliberately delaying the time of sending troops, which led to the situation getting out of control?"

Li Mu asked in surprise.

It is as easy as sending troops to suppress the rebellion, just like eating and drinking water, without any difficulty.

In an instant, the face of the County Magistrate Zhu looked as ugly as pig's liver. As the military chief of a county, he could not escape the blame for such a thing.

Even though he knew that Li Mu was deliberately urging him, he could only endure it. At this time, he could easily make people get the chance to get the chance.

Seeing that the brewing was almost done, Cao Tiancheng explained: "Person Li doesn't know that the situation in Hanchuan is special. Half of the troops in the county are guarding against monsters to cause trouble, and the mobile forces are extremely limited.
