The dead silence in the chat group.

All the emperors widened their eyes, unable to believe the information they saw.

Most of them are Emperor Wu. Even if they are not Emperor Wu, they know how to lead troops to fight and military affairs.

How much does it cost to raise an army? Everyone is clear about it.

Zhu Di swallowed a little, feeling that his worldview had been refreshed.

Kill your ten clans (the heroic lord in the prosperous era):

"Oh my god, can a person actually be responsible for the expenses of an army?"

"This is simply a slap in the face of the court's budget!"

"When the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, founded the country, he only raised a million troops."

"Yuan Chonghuan can actually afford 100,000 troops alone."

"Oh my God! Are these people just moving treasury?"

"Is this the great hero who saves the country and the people?"

"Don't insult the hero anymore."

……………………

Li Shimin thought that with greater knowledge, can a person be so rich?

Is this the most powerful corrupt official?

Li Er (the wise ruler of sin):

"These Yuan Chonghuan, Lu Xiangsheng and others are like the clans of the Sui and Tang Dynasties!"

"Only one super clan has the ability to support 10% of the country's army."

"But what about the facts?"

"There were more than dozens of clans in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but in fact, there was no single family that could have so many armies."

"I am really shocked by the wealth of these people in the late Ming Dynasty!"

"How much money are you greedy?"

"This really blinded my eyes."

……………………

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed to the sky, and the murderous intent in his eyes was as real.

Is this a good general of the Ming Dynasty?

You guys are really good!

Starting from herding cattle (the emperor of the ages, the father of modern systems):

"Okay, okay!"

"What a good person who serves the country and the people, Lu Xiangsheng!"

"What a honest and honest Yuan Chonghuan!"

"Does the Ming Dynasty have to set up a tablet for them?"

"These people have actually reached the point where they are rich enough to rival a country."

"The funny thing is that no one has ever thought about where their money comes from?"

"But they kept saying that they sacrificed their lives for their country!"

"Then how did this country go down?"

"Aren't they poaching?"

"Even the army can be affiliated with the private sector. If this country does not perish, wouldn't it be a pity for them to serve the country and the people so much?"

……………………

Chongzhen was also extremely confused at this moment. Is Yuan Chonghuan so rich?

What does it mean to raise nine thousand iron cavalry?

No wonder Yuan Chonghuan was so powerful in the war. His private army was equipped with the most exquisite equipment, giving them the best food and giving them enough food and salary.

Is this combat power strong?

It is said that Yuan Chonghuan is so powerful in wars. Isn’t this money made of money?

This is krypton gold.

Chongzhen felt that if he had money, he would not be much worse than Yuan Chonghuan.

Hanging the southeast branch (the purest tyrant):

"I really feel sad for Chongzhen now."

"He didn't even find any problems with these people until he died."

"It's so stupid!"

Only then did Chongzhen realize how big the gap between him and Chen Tong was.

He never thought about problems from a different perspective. If he could look at problems from a different perspective like Chen Tong,

You will definitely find these tricks in the court.

Unfortunately, his strength does not allow it.

……………………

Empress Lu couldn't stand it at this moment, even a woman knew how important military power was.

And how outrageous it is to raise an army by one person?

The First Queen Mother (Yanhuang No. 1):

"Are you still going to brag about Lu Xiangsheng and other people now?"

"These people are obviously like civil officials, and they are all borers of the country!"

"Lu Xiangsheng definitely made so much money by raising bandits."

"Li Caoyuan, didn't you say they were loyal?"

"Didn't you say they were the great heroes of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Then you explain to us why they have the money to support the private army?"

"Where did this money come from?"

"Is it corruption? Is it bribery? Is it exploitation of the people? Is it smuggling with the enemy? Or do you go to raise bandits?"

"There is always a source!"

"Don't tell me that their salary is so high, and the salary of Ming Dynasty officials was the lowest in history, no doubt about it!"

…………

Li Zicheng was also stupid now. He had never considered these issues before. He always thought that Lu Xiang Sheng and Sun Chuanting was not bad.

But when he heard Chen Tong's analysis perspective, he was completely uneasy now.

Only then did he realize that these people really had big problems.

With their meager salary, as Chen Tong said, even if Lu Xiangsheng makes money for a thousand years or ten thousand years,

It is impossible for Lu Xiangsheng to support his Tianxiong Army.

Then Yuan Chonghuan was even more outrageous. The scale of his private army he supported was almost five times that of Lu Xiangsheng.

That's because Yuan Chonghuan made a lot of money in Liaodong.

I used to think how great it was to pay Lu Xiangsheng, Yuan Chonghuan and others to pay these soldiers for their own money.

But now I realize that this is not great at all, it is called the marquis of the thief!

The Ming Dynasty could not afford food and wages, so why could they afford it?

He was shocked.

How much money is there in this? Was Zhao'an's money originally?

People do not pay food:

"This is too exaggerated!"

"I really don't know how to defend Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others now."

"Maybe someone has dug up a gold mine?"

……………………

I'll go to your uncle!
