Chapter 5298: Waves Rising

In the final analysis, the key problem still needs to be solved, and the current key point is that the Ministry of Gold is about to run out of money. Once the Ministry of Gold has no money, how can so many strong people in Shenxia be supported?

If so many strong people cannot be supported, either the martial arts power of Shenxia will be reduced, or it will cause a freeze.

Although Ji Tianxing has selfish motives and once asked Ye Wudao to make money for him, Ji Tianxing also wants revenge and does not want to see Shenxia in danger. He wants to solve the current situation.

Ye Wudao said calmly: "The current annual expenditure of the Ministry of Justice can be reduced by more than half. I don't think it is a problem. The mercenaries of my Zhendu Prefecture only need to ensure that their income can be self-sufficient."

"Since the emperor wants to see me today, I just want to tell you what I think. The emperor did not say clearly which part of the burden of the Ministry of Justice my Zhendu Prefecture will bear. Now I think I know, so I have to say it."

The old man smiled mysteriously: "You mean, the mercenaries of Zhendu Prefecture, the outsourcing business they undertake, requires the court to sign a contract with you, right?"

"Yes, after all, they are mercenaries." Ye Wudao nodded.

I didn't expect that this old man knew a lot, such as the term "outsourcing business".

The mercenaries of Zhendu Prefecture are not in the regular staff after all. Ji Tianxing is now ambiguous and doesn't know what it means, but it can be guessed that the people of Zhendu Prefecture will definitely not be included in the regular staff.

In that case, it would be equivalent to adding half of the Ministry of Justice. Such a blatant move would have a great backlash.

Now, Ye Wudao has spent hundreds of millions of immortal yuan to set up the mercenaries. With such a strong force, he must find something to do. Ji Tianxing can't ignore this force. After all, it is the money of the investment bank, which is Shenxia's money.

If you want to take it slow, who will pay for the money of this mercenary next year?

No one can afford to hire them at such a high price.

In fact, the expenses that Ye Wudao spent on hiring not long ago are equivalent to the expenses of the Ministry of Justice for nearly a year!

The elder frowned and asked again: "As far as I know, the amount of money used to set up the Zhendufu mercenaries not long ago exceeded expectations, and Lord Ye did not leave himself room for spending next year."

"Who will pay this money when the time comes?"

Ye Wudao laughed: "I have my own way. Now I just want to make a suggestion, which is to sign a formal contract with the court so that my Zhendufu can reasonably undertake some business, rather than verbal promises."

There are also many people in the cabinet who stand on the side. Although it may not be obvious which side they stand on, it can be imagined that there must be people from the eldest prince and the second princess.

At this moment, Ji Qingwu's people are also on the side of the Ministry of War. Naturally, they have different thoughts. Their old rival, the Ministry of Justice, is now facing the danger of power being divided. They naturally want to add fuel to the flames, but in this way, Ji Youlan will be fulfilled.

In addition, it is still unknown whether it will be their turn next.

It is because they are worried that they will become Ye Wudao's next opponent that they oppose Ye Wudao, but their opinions are not unified. Some people still support the death penalty department first.

The elder fell into deep thought, and nodded after a moment: "If Zhendu Prefecture can be self-sufficient, then everything is probably not a problem. The problem is whether the existence of Zhendu Prefecture threatens the court."

"What do you have to say about this, Lord Ye?"

Ye Wudao spread his hands and said helplessly: "After all, it is a force with only fists and power. There is definitely a threat. There is nothing to deny, but the threat of Zhendu Prefecture's mercenaries is smaller than other threats."

That's right, although Zhendu Prefecture is a threat, no matter how big the threat is, can it be bigger than other forces?

In addition, the top-level strongmen are all supported by Ji Tianxing. Even if other forces want to make waves, they have to weigh their own strength.
