Chapter 1056 Go ahead and grab it

Are you kidding me, asking you to pay us for the occupation? This is also a policy that Li Xiang has formulated long ago. If we have to pay for the war ourselves, how can Datang continue to be wealthy?

When all the generals came into contact with Li Xiang, they basically understood Li Xiang's conclusion. Just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years, although he opened up the northern territory for the Han Empire, the treasury was empty and there was almost no money left. The lives of ordinary people are also extremely difficult, and we must avoid such things.

So when Li Xiang is fighting, no matter whether the country in front of us is poor or rich, we can always find a way to expend some resources from this country. As long as we can make up for the military expenditure, then in the next period of time, we will finally Being able to recover a lot of wealth in this country is the reason for launching a war.

"General Li, please stay. General Li, please stay. This number is really too big. Fusang is a small country and the people are weak. We don't have that much fiscal revenue at all. If we are asked to support this expense, then our court will be very embarrassed." It’s almost over.”

Mr. Suzuki said anxiously, everything he said now is true, and there is absolutely no embellishment. There is really little land that can be cultivated in Fuso. Many people make a living by fishing, but even so , the fiscal revenue of the entire country is also pitifully small. If they are allowed to bear the financial burden, it will indeed cost them their lives.

"Mr. Suzuki, you have to settle the account yourself. Either you take the initiative to get the money, or we find a way to get the money ourselves. But in the process of getting the money, conflicts are unavoidable, and we will have more damage by then. , this is the number you brought over by yourself. If we had to get it ourselves, it would probably be several times higher. Look around here."

Li Jingren's road was blocked, so he couldn't move forward, but Li Jingren was not idle either. He led Suzuki and I looked at Nagasaki Port. Originally, this was the most developed place for fuso, but now there are black burning trees everywhere. Smoke, there are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty arresting people in the distance, this is the price for us to get money, if you are willing to let the entire coastal area of ​​​​Fuso become like this, then we will do it next.

When he saw the situation around him, Mr. Suzuki was speechless. Although the surrounding area was not hell, it was almost like hell. The Tang army did not fight on the mainland, so they did not have so many worries, especially in Fuso. In this place, Li Xiang has given them the greatest power. It is in our interests to get the most, and other matters can be left behind.

Originally, the army of the Tang Dynasty was an army of tigers and wolves. Ding Tu knew better than anyone how much money the navy warships cost. When he founded the navy, Li Xiang made it very clear to Ding Tu that we were just paying the money in advance. , whichever country we conquer in the future, they will have to pay for our navy. Otherwise, who would have so much money to build a navy?

Therefore, after taking the Nagasaki Port, Tintu was not idle for a minute, and just asked his men to rob it directly.

Watanabe Ichiro was a little sad at first, but after the Tang Dynasty people robbed him, they would give him a little sweetness, so this guy couldn't worry so much anymore, and turned around and became a guide. Who has money but no money? He knows better than the Tang army.

"This matter has many connections. I really can't make the decision. I hope General Li can give me some time to relax."

Mr. Suzuki also knew that what General Li said was true. If they took the initiative to send the money, the people around him would indeed have a lot less things to do. But the problem is that he can't be the master. There is too much money every day. .

"I can't give you too much time, so why don't you take the time to report, but my people also have to live. The local money can still support it for a while, but I won't say to what day it will last. If the items we collect that day cannot keep up with the expenses of the troops stationed there, then we will go elsewhere. I have informed you in advance. As for how you respond, this is the business of your Fuso Court. .”

General Li left after finishing speaking. Everything that needs to be said has been made clear. As for how you operate, we can't control that much. Anyway, your main economic zones are along the coast, and our warships can do it at any time. past.

"General Li, General Li..."

Mr. Suzuki wanted to say something, but unfortunately, the guards outside stopped him. A brief meeting ended like this. The rest depends on what you do. This area is definitely going to be... Not coming back, and there is no room for negotiation.

The most important thing about this meeting is for you to collect money. If you don't have enough money, then some things can still be solved, but if you don't have that much money, we don't guarantee that the army will always rest here. , they also have to eat and live, and we have to go out and find money ourselves.

Mr. Suzuki hurried back to his ship and asked his men to set sail without saying a word. Time is money now. Although there are many rich people around Nagasaki Port, the number issued by Datang is really too high. I probably won't be able to hold on for a few days.

Therefore, we must go to the nearby local magistrate as quickly as possible, and then use the post road to send the information back. It will take half a month to go back and forth. Who knows what will happen after half a month.

Next to the meeting just now, headed by King Wu, other officials were also staying here, all wanting to know the outcome of the negotiation.

"What the fuck, it's obvious that he doesn't like me. The one he sent was a slightly higher official, who should be a member of the royal family. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make the final decision. This is coming and going. It’s so troublesome, are we really just waiting here?”

After listening to Li Jingren’s introduction, Cheng Yaojin was the first to lose his temper. We had already grabbed almost all the peripherals. Although we had gained a lot of income, there was still a gap with our psychological expectations. We originally thought Let them pay a sum of money, and we will be idle during this period. After all, we have to thoroughly understand this place, which also takes time. The base in Fuso must be safe, but we did not expect that the other party would go back to discuss it. For a moment, that’s because we think we have no means.
