What Wei Xiu mentioned was the news that the Wei Family was going to fully support Cao Cao. Yang Rui didn't care too much about this. In Yang Rui's opinion, although the Wei Family's financial resources were strong, his current financial resources were enough.
Perhaps the Wei Family could still provide supplies such as horses and food. Yang Rui had once cooperated with the Wei Family's A pint of incense, and there were still two or three agreements in existence.
As for other aspects of support that the Wei Family could provide, Yang Rui hadn't thought of it yet. The social culture of the NPCs in the game was also to look down on merchants. Therefore, when Wei Xiu mentioned this matter, the others present didn't care too much.
Yang Rui was most concerned about Wei Xiu's attitude, so he comforted her and asked Wei Xiu a few questions. Wei Xiu also clearly expressed her decision to follow Yang Rui, which made Yang Rui feel relieved.
In fact, since Wei Xiu took the initiative to mention this matter, she didn't intend to betray Yang Rui from the beginning. When Wei Xiu signed the agreement with Yang Rui for food and basic resources, she used her own name.
On this point, it was obvious that the Wei Family had their own vision and strategy regarding the orientation of the feudal lords. Back then, the Wei Family was able to support Wei Xiu to sign the purchase and sale agreement in her personal name, which meant that the Wei Family did not intend to put all their eggs in one basket.
Yang Rui also learned from Wei Xiu that after Dong Zhuo was stabbed to death by him, the goods (secondary) that Li Su gave to Fan Li were still working. In the past two days, they had bought a lot of food and basic resources from Qingzhou, and each transaction exceeded 50,000 gold coins.
Although he didn't know if Fan Li's goods (primary) was still in Li Su's hands, or if it had fallen into the hands of others. However, the food and resources trade that Wei Xiu had agreed to with Li Su on behalf of Qingzhou could still continue. This undoubtedly left a way for the large amount of basic resources in Qingzhou to be redeemed.
For now. While Qingzhou was self-sufficient, they still had some surplus. However, there was a shortage of food in the world, so they didn't have to worry about the future. However, Qingzhou obviously had a surplus of other resources. The various places in Qingzhou had never stopped building warehouses, which was why they were barely able to store them.
Among the ways out that Yang Rui could think of, apart from the export of these resources, the other way was to digest them internally. For example, the Yellow Turban Altar had been secretly built by Yang Rui. Major projects like the Xuanyuan Altar and the Floating Cloud Tent also needed to be built. Yang Rui was also prepared to push the various functional buildings and projects in Qingzhou.
The matter that Zhang Ning mentioned was a bit big, and it was related to the Yellow Turban Altar.
Xiu Xiu Xiu had Xiu's. Xiu Xiu Xiu Xiu Xiu u u Xiu Xiu Xiu u u u u u Xiu Xiu u u u u u u u.
The moment the construction of the Yellow Turban Altar was completed, Bocai, Zhang Mancheng, and Bu Ji, who had been placed on Seven Mile Island in Qingzhou, regained consciousness one after another. News of their awakening had already reached Linzi City.
According to Zhang Ning, Bocai, Zhang Mancheng, and Bu Ji had regained consciousness. Their physical condition was normal, but they seemed to have completely lost their combat ability. They looked no different from ordinary NPCs, and showed no signs of recovery.
Bocai, Zhang Mancheng, Bu Ji, and the others regaining consciousness was something that Yang Rui didn't expect. What was even more unbelievable to Yang Rui was that these people had sensed the existence of the Yellow Turban Altar and had mentioned that they wanted to make a sacrifice.
"After the Yellow Turban Altar was completed, Ning 'er, did you sense the existence of the altar?"
After hearing Zhang Ning's words, Yang Rui asked after some thought.
Zhang Ning's identity was rather sensitive. Among the people around Yang Rui, only Gao Shun and Cheng Yu knew of her true identity. Everyone else only knew that Zhang Ning came from Yellow Turban. They didn't know that Zhang Ning was Zhang Jiao's daughter.
"I did sense it."
Zhang Ning said, as if she was reminiscing. "Zhang Ning was present when the Yellow Turban Altar was completed. I didn't pay much attention to it back then, but now that I think about it, there was a moment when Zhang Ning seemed to have sensed a connection with the origin of the world. It came from the Yellow Turban Altar …"
"Mm, if that's the case, then it's not surprising that Bocai, Zhang Mancheng, Bu Ji, and the others could sense the Yellow Turban Altar. I just don't know what other secrets the Yellow Turban Altar has. Was there a similar Yellow Turban Altar built when Yellow Turban broke out? "
When it came to Yellow Turban, Yang Rui didn't dare to be careless. Now that the situation in Green Province was gradually stabilizing and improving, Yang Rui didn't want Yellow Turban to rise again and affect his foundation in Green Province.
Yang Rui left Bocai, Zhang Mancheng, Bu Ji, and the others behind to try to subdue them. If there were no problems with the Yellow Turban Altar, Yang Rui didn't mind them participating in the sacrifice. Zhang Ning had also used the Yellow Turban Altar several times without any problems. Yang Rui was only worried about what if something went wrong.
"As far as Zhang Ning knows, my … Yellow Turban obtained the altar blueprint very late and didn't have time to build it, nor did they build a similar altar …"
Zhang Ning also thought for a while. Her expression changed a few times before she spoke slowly. She must have thought of something in the past and almost said the words "my father".
"Now that the army is about to be deployed, let's not talk about this for now. During this time, Ning 'er will try to persuade Bocai, Zhang Mancheng, Bu Ji, and the others. If they can submit to me, the sacrifice shouldn't be too much of a problem … "
Yang Rui also took the opportunity to express his attitude to Zhang Ning. Although Bocai, Zhang Mancheng, and Bu Ji had temporarily lost their fighting strength, they might have a chance to recover in the future. Subduing them was also Yang Rui's original intention.
"Zhang Ning will definitely do her best. Even if my lord didn't say so, Zhang Ning planned to do so …" Zhang Ning said.
The conversation between Yang Rui and Zhang Ning confused everyone present. Perhaps only Cheng Yu, who knew the inside story, understood the meaning behind it.
However, those who didn't know more or less understood. It turned out that Zhang Ning came from within Yellow Turban. Yang Rui even captured the other leaders of Yellow Turban — Bocai, Zhang Mancheng, and Bu Ji — alive. From this, they also had a deeper understanding of Yang Rui.
The two matters had their own results. Everyone once again discussed the internal affairs of Qingzhou.
"Reporting to Lord Prefecture Overseer. Ever since the various counties of Green Province implemented the military subsidy system, the total number of soldiers recruited is close to 400,000. Among them, there are 18325 people with Grade A and above aptitude. In addition to the original soldiers, the number of soldiers under my lord's command has reached 750,000.
Such a large number of soldiers naturally increased my lord's military strength, but the expenditure was also not a small number. The cost of recruiting soldiers was close to 3,900,000 gold coins, and the soldiers' daily consumption was also not a small amount. The amount of food subsidized to the soldiers' families was about 5,000,000 catties.
Fortunately, Lord Prefecture Overseer implemented the field system well, and the scale of the field was constantly expanding. Currently, there was an average daily surplus of several million catties of food. While satisfying the exchange of resources and daily needs, the amount of food owed to Big Mountain City was more than 15,000,000 catties.
Because Wei Xiu sold a lot of food recently, there was not much food left in the entire Green Province. Lord Prefecture Overseer even had insufficient food for the army this time, and needed to transfer more food to Big Mountain City.
Therefore, Sun Qian suggested temporarily stopping the export of food for a while, and stockpiling some food to satisfy internal needs. In case of emergency.
In addition, Green Province's income and expenditure. Recently, we have earned more than 600,000 gold coins from the sale of food and basic resources. The rest of the income is very small, and the cost of purchasing horses, iron ore, and carriages has exceeded 2,000,000 gold coins. Green Province's income and expenditure is still far from reaching a balance, and the accumulated loss is more than 6,600,000 gold coins. This amount of money was paid by Lord Prefecture Overseer himself … "
When it came to Green Province's internal affairs, Sun Qian came forward and introduced the various matters in the near future.
Originally, Yang Rui felt that Green Province's development was not bad, but after Sun Qian's report, everyone's expression turned ugly. It turned out that Green Province's development had been relying on Yang Rui's capital!
"According to Sun Qian's estimation, there are still many things waiting to be done in Green Province. Before there is a large amount of income, I'm afraid that the current situation of Green Province's income and expenditure will continue for a long time!
Let's not talk about the rest for now, just Lord Prefecture Overseer's plan to replenish the soldiers of each province, as well as expand the navy and the warships, will require an enormous amount of money. At least tens of millions of gold coins will need to be spent, and it is very likely that it will be far more than that … "
Sun Qian had not finished speaking, and when he reached the end of his speech, everyone present had already begun to suck in a breath of cold air.
"Everyone, don't worry, just let go. If there is a need for money, just ask me. Tens of millions of gold coins or more, when it is necessary to invest, I will invest it. I will take out another 10 million gold coins, in case of emergency …"
Yang Rui was very clear that Sun Qian's words were only an honest analysis. However, Yang Rui could not let everyone have any worries. Moreover, Yang Rui also wanted to show off to Guo Jia, an outsider, so with a wave of his sleeve, the 10 million gold coins payment window appeared in front of Sun Qian's eyes!
Originally, everyone present was still shocked by the huge expenditure of Green Province, but they did not expect Yang Rui to take out 10 million gold coins with a wave of his hand. This time, everyone's expression changed again, and the way they looked at Yang Rui was different.
Although Sun Qian mentioned that Green Province's account had debts, most of them were still in the budgeting stage. He had no intention of asking for money, and he did not expect Yang Rui to cash it out on the spot. Therefore, Sun Qian, who was originally speaking, only opened and closed his mouth a few times without saying a word.
Whether it was in reality or in the game, it was the first time Yang Rui shocked everyone by throwing out money. This kind of feeling was really good.
However, Yang Rui was not a person who liked to show off. Seeing that he threw out money very generously, he couldn't help but secretly calculate in his heart. How much would 10 million gold coins be exchanged in reality?!
Even if the current exchange rate was a little lower, it was definitely an astronomical number!
And Yang Rui probably had to face a lot of such astronomical numbers. For example, Diaochan's cashing out was also a 10 million gold coin list! Astronomy, u
