In fact, Zheng Ming had already thought about this question.
In Zheng Ming's view, there is nothing that cannot be sold.
The mechanism army is indeed powerful. It has the same powerful combat effectiveness as the flying boat fleet.
For a force, an army of organs can be called a weapon of war.
But don't forget that in the fairy land, the only real deterrents are those who have ascended to the immortal level, and a strong ascended to the immortal level can support a first-class force.
Compared with the army of agencies, the immortal-level powerhouses are the real strategic deterrent weapons.
So from the very beginning, Zheng Ming didn't restrict the sale of warlords and gods of war, just like flying boats, and now Da Li has also sold a lot of flying boats.
It's just that Zheng Ming used the army of agencies as Dali's trump card in the past, so he never disclosed the existence of the army of agencies to the outside world, so naturally he would not sell it to the outside world.
But now that the army of organs has appeared in front of the world, there is no need to continue to hide it, and it can be sold to the outside world.
However, Huang Feihu still said: "This matter requires His Majesty's decision. If the Palace Master is interested, you can ask His Majesty."
It is up to Zheng Ming to decide whether to sell the Warlords and Gods of War. How much to sell, what price, and how to sell them are the affairs of the imperial court, and they do not care about these matters.
Gong Yuting looked at the God of War with a disappointed expression and said, "Even if you are willing to sell it, we at Chiyang Palace probably won't be able to afford it."
Although she didn't know the cost of the mechanism God of War, she knew that it was expensive just from the high-quality spiritual materials on the mechanism God of War.
In fact, just as she thought, the cost of an organ God of War is about 800 million spirit stones. It is not difficult for Chiyang Palace to buy three sets and five sets, but if you want to form an army of organs, then It will definitely bring Chiyang Palace down.
If Dali hadn't occupied the entire Northwest Territory now, Dali wouldn't be able to support an army of millions of institutions.
……
The end of the battle between Dali and the Xianlan Dynasty surprised all the major forces in Zhongtianyu.
Although they recognize the fact that Dali has become a first-class force, they still think in their hearts that Dali's strength and background are far inferior to those of the three dynasties.
The appearance of the army of institutions surprised them, but like Fei Lan, they did not think that the army of institutions had a combat effectiveness far superior to that of Xianlan.
But on the battlefield, they were horrified by the battle displayed by the mechanism army.
There are more than 800 War Gods, which are comparable to the Sendai Realm, and such a scale makes them feel unbelievable.
Although there are countless experts in the Zhongtian Territory, there are [-] experts above the seventh level of the Immortal Terrace on the Xiantai list alone, but there are only nearly ten thousand masters above the Immortal Realm in the entire Zhongtian Territory.
With such huge strength as the three dynasties, there may be more Xiantai Realm powerhouses, but there are only a few hundred.
But Dali has more than 800 God of War organs alone, which is simply amazing.
But what is even more unacceptable is that Dali can also build more mechanism war gods.
If the number reaches three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, then~~~
No one dared to imagine what it would be like when the organization God of War reached a scale of [-].
In fact, they thought too much, even if all the minerals in Dali were cleaned out, it would not be possible to build a hundred thousand war gods.
One hundred thousand is not, but ten thousand is still possible.
But Zheng Ming probably wouldn't build so many war gods, it doesn't make sense.
An army of 100 million institutions is enough for Dali to use. Building too many will only increase the burden on the court, and the gains outweigh the losses.
No matter how horrified Zhongtianyu's forces were, Dali's side remained calm.
When the people of Dali learned that the Chaotang army had defeated the army of the Xianlan Dynasty at Lujiao Mountain, there was a wave of cheers and discussions.
However, this kind of voice is just for practitioners to talk about after dinner, and it doesn't actually have much impact on Dali as a whole.
Ordinary people still live and work in peace and contentment, and occasionally go to Chenghuang Temple and Earth Temple to offer incense and petition.
Practitioners are still cultivating painstakingly, dreaming that one day they can enter the holy places of practice in the eight major cities, or join the army.
Those who really have the leisure to talk about these things are the priests of the worship hall, but they are only a minority after all.
However, there were quite a few voices in the court, especially from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. Many officials ran to the Dudu Mansion, almost overturning the Dudu Mansion.
The reason is that this battle was too costly.
This battle itself does not have any benefits for Dali. It can neither expand the territory nor have any actual benefits. Although Gong Yuting has given out a lot of spirit stones as a reward for Dali, but These rewards are still not enough to make up for the loss of this battle.
The army of agencies did not lose much, but the hundreds of flying boats did suffer a lot.
Dali has a total of more than 500 large airship fleets, and lost more than 200 ships in this battle.
As soon as the news came back to the court, officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry completely exploded.
The Ministry of Households is in charge of the country's resources, and they managed to squeeze out all the airships by saving money, and they lost so much in the First World War.
The Ministry of Industry is in charge of building the flying boats. Dali currently has seven flying boat bases, all of which are under the control of the Ministry of Industry. Each flying boat is built by a large number of craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and spent hundreds of days. It can be said that every flying boat is theirs. hard work.
The crash of more than 200 airships seemed to have sucked out their blood.
Inside the Governor's Palace.
Chen Ze looked at Lu Kaiyan and Jiang Wanchen with a depressed expression.
Lu Kaiyan, Minister of the Household Department, the chief financial officer of Dali Chaotang, was given the nickname of a stingy iron rooster.
Jiang Wanchen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, the head of the Jiang family, is one of the new important ministers in the court.
As the important ministers who followed from the Nine Regions of China were aging, those officials from the cultivating families and forces who joined Dali more than 30 years ago stepped up to the top of the court.
For example, Jiang Wanchen, Beiling, Cai Nanxiu and others all beheaded their heads in court.
Although there has been no change in the cabinet ministers, there have been changes in the ministries under the cabinet and the officials of the eight capitals.
It is normal for this to happen.
After all, those officials from the Nine Realms of China are far inferior to the cultivators in the Immortal Land in terms of cultivation and aptitude. Although court officials do not have high requirements for cultivation, with the expansion of the dynasty, government affairs have become more complicated, and there are not enough people. Energy support, simply can not bear the corresponding responsibility.
Therefore, many former officials have retired one after another, giving up their positions.
In this regard, Zheng Ming and Chaotang are also happy to see the success. Officials who are willing to abdicate will be given preferential treatment.
At this time, Lu Kaiyan and Jiang Wanchen came to Dudu's Mansion to ask the teacher for their crimes.
More than 200 airships were damaged in battle, which is not a small number for Dali.
You know, when Dali unified the Northwest Territory, he lost more than 20 airships in the entire 100-year war, but this time he lost more than 200 airships in just a small-scale battle with the Xianlan Dynasty. flying boat.Many officials in the court were very dissatisfied with this.
Chapter 633 Battle Damage
"Chen Dudu, there are more than 200 flying boats, you have to give us an explanation."
"More than 200 flying boats, one flying boat costs more than a million spirit stones, that's [-] million spirit stones!"
"Chaotang doesn't have much reserves of spirit stones now. If we want to replenish the more than 200 flying boats, we may have to wait a few years."
Lu Kaiyan sat in front of Chen Ze, and counted for him with his fingers.
"My lords, those more than 200 flying boats were not lost in vain. Didn't the Xianlan Dynasty pay more flying boats? We won this battle, so you can't be so fussy." Chen Ze said.
"Why are you so fussy? That's more than 2 million spirit stones." Lu Kaiyan said angrily.
"No, the loss of the [-] million Lingshi will be deducted from this year's military expenditure."
When he thought of [-] million spirit stones, he felt pain in his heart and liver.
"Ahem, the owner of Chiyang Palace has indicated that he is willing to make up for part of our losses. They can produce about [-] million spirit stones."
Chen Ze coughed lightly and said.
Deducted from military expenses, what a joke, there are still many military expansion plans in the Dudu Mansion, and they are all waiting for spirit stones and resources.
The lost flying boats had to be replaced, the army of millions of organs had to be maintained daily, the army of the imperial dynasty's tens of thousands of immortal warriors, and the army of tens of millions of demon and sea monsters had to be refined. In addition, the Governor's Mansion also planned to form another troop of monster cavalry.
Without sufficient military support, all plans of the Dudu Mansion will come to a halt.
Chen Ze naturally couldn't accept Lu Kaiyan's idea of deducting military expenses.
"What about the remaining [-] million spirit stones?" Lu Kaiyan's eyes lit up when he heard that Chiyang Palace was willing to give [-] million, but he was still a little dissatisfied.
"Ahem, didn't Chiyang Palace send a few spirit stone mines before? It should be able to make up for the loss of [-] million yuan." Chen Ze said cheekily.
"Then where will the military expenses for this expedition come from?" Lu Kaiyan said.
Although Dali Chaotang's finances in recent years have been much better than before, it is still very tight, especially when it costs a lot of spirit stones every time it goes out to war.
And this time, the army of agencies was used, and the consumed spirit stones had already emptied the treasury of the household department.
To be honest, if the Xianlan Dynasty insisted on going to war with Dali, it would be very difficult for the Dali Dynasty to maintain a long-term war.
Unless Zheng Ming's internal treasury is used.
"If it doesn't work, let His Majesty make it up." Chen Ze said softly.
Lu Kaiyan's face darkened suddenly, and said: "If you want His Majesty to make it up, you can tell His Majesty yourself, anyway, I have no face to ask Your Majesty."
He is in control of the court's finances, but every time the court's finances are in short supply, he asks Zheng Ming to replenish the household treasury from the internal treasury.
He came and went, he didn't know how many times he begged Zheng Ming, and now no matter how thick-skinned he was, he would not be ashamed to beg Zheng Ming again.
Chen Ze hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay then, I will enter the palace to beg Your Majesty later."
Lu Kaiyan nodded and did not speak again.
You can go if you want. If His Majesty does not agree, the shortfall will be deducted from this year's military expenditure.
After Lu Kaiyan finished speaking, it was Jiang Wanchen's turn.
Compared to Lu Kaiyan, Jiang Wanchen was easier to talk to.
"Master Jiang, you have to trouble the Ministry of Households regarding Feizhou," Chen Ze said.
Jiang Wanchen spread his hands and said: "Chen Dudu, it's not that Jiang is unwilling, but Jiang has no choice. Now the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are rushing to work for your Dudu's mansion, and there is no way to speed up the manufacturing speed of the flying boat."
"The flying boat fleet is a powerful weapon of the dynasty. It is not only responsible for the transportation of the army, but also an important elite force of the dynasty. No matter what, the Ministry of Industry must ensure the integrity of the flying boat fleet." Chen Ze said.
"Moreover, His Majesty has signed a memorial on the expansion of the airship fleet. In the next five years, the size of our airship fleet will expand to more than a thousand ships. The Ministry of Industry cannot hold back."
He said firmly.
Compared with Lu Kaiyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Jiang Wanchen, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is not so tough in front of the Dudu Mansion.
Hube Shangshu is the God of Wealth, no matter where he goes, he is the absolute protagonist.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is just a worker, and all the ministries in the court are urging the Ministry of Industry to speed up the construction period, which makes Jiang Wanchen very helpless sometimes.
The three major industries of refining equipment, refining medicine, and magic circle are the important pillars of the dynasty. Whether it is Dali or other forces, they are all eager to seek talents from the top talents of the three industries.
The key is that these three industries have too high requirements for talents, and ordinary mediocre talents can't afford important positions at all.
After Dali unified the Northwest Territory, he also brought all the talents in the Northwest Territory into the court, but no matter what, the Northwest Territory was far inferior to the Zhongtian Territory, and Dali's background was shallow, and all aspects needed development, and the Ministry of Industry was even more responsible. With the development of all industries in Dali, the responsibility is very heavy.
So sometimes, the officials of the Ministry of Industry will be extraordinarily busy, busier than officials of other departments.
Not to mention suffering and suffering, the key is to be urged every day. After a long time, the officials of the Ministry of Industry are upset, and each of them has a particularly bad temper.
And Jiang Wanchen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has just been in office for a few years, not only has to withstand the pressure from the various ministries of the court, but also carefully maintain the emotions of the officials and craftsmen inside the Ministry of Industry.
It is the most uncomfortable to be angry at both ends.
Hearing Chen Ze's words, the corners of Jiang Wanchen's mouth twitched slightly.
He came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, and to hold the Dudu Mansion accountable for the loss of more than 200 airships in the Battle of Lujiao Mountain. It turned out that the situation was not good, but was forced by Chen Ze to speed up the speed of manufacturing airships.
The key point is that Chen Ze actually used Zheng Ming's will to suppress him.
Immediately, Jiang Wanchen felt a toothache.
"I will try my best."
What can he say.
Chen Ze even moved Zheng Ming out, how could he resist the order?
Seeing that he agreed, Chen Ze nodded in satisfaction.
Then he said with a smile: "I still want to enter the palace to see His Majesty, so I won't keep the two adults."
He started seeing off guests.
Lu Kaiyan and Jiang Wanchen looked at each other, got up and said goodbye.
It's just that after leaving Dudu's Mansion, both Lu Kaiyan and Jiang Wanchen looked a little unhappy.
When they stepped out of the gate of Dudu's Mansion, they came to their senses, they were fooled by Chen Ze.
