Ci'an no longer dared to calculate the calculations. Ci'an knew how much money the Japanese soldiers spent in the Xishan Camp six times!

To be honest, the financial situation of the Qing Dynasty has been much relieved in the past five years, much better than the Tongzhi Dynasty in history!

After the war, local governments were restored and rebuilt. The taxes in Huguang, Jiangnan, Guangdong and Guangxi were the first to be restored, followed by Henan, Shanxi, and even Gansu and other places. The economy of Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi were also stabilized!

The economy will naturally recover when the war is over, and what is more important is that the new currency brought by Xiao Letian has a breath of relief!

The minting of silver coins and gradually abolishing the ingots and silver ingots is abolishing the fire consumption of corrupt officials below. This large sum of money saved more than tens of millions of dollars every year!

There is also the income of Beipiao. Although Beipiao is now in a strong inflation and its market acceptance is far less than that of Jiangnan's Nanpiao, this is the official legal currency after all. If the market's money supply is sufficient, business will naturally flourish!

There are certain inflation and tax increases brought about by commercial stimulus. Over the past five years, the annual income of the imperial court has exceeded 13 million taels of silver every year!

This was a huge sum of money that I never dared to think about before! When I was fighting with Changmao, the imperial court could not even pay the poor price of the bannermen. At the most ruthless time, he actually paid three discounts of money to the bannermen!

What should I do when I have money? The choices between the Qing Dynasty and the Chinese people are completely different!

Xiao Letian will develop education when he gets money, engage in infrastructure, invest in industry and then build a modern army, especially the Deep Blue Navy!

When the Qing Dynasty had money, the first thing was to make up for the bannermen's flag pay, and then reorganize the army!

The troops in various places owed a salary to make up for the reimbursement, and the Japanese soldiers used up their heads for the Xishan camp. Hunchun outside the pass also needed money to train their troops. We must not forget the threats of the Rakshasa ghosts and the Far East Volunteers!

Ci'an knew very well that the amount of silver consumed by the 60,000 soldiers in Xishan over the past five years was 5 million taels of silver!

But these are all fake. In order to prevent the court from being in a long and easy manner, the Japanese Six split the training costs into different projects, and reimburse them in the Six Departments to compensate them!

Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to make some calculations!

The military expenditure of the court used up by the Xishan Camp must be between at least 8 million and 10 million taels of silver. This is Ci'an's calculation, and this amount is indeed the consensus of many people in the court!

Sixty thousand new troops spent less than 10 million in military spending, but that wasn’t enough? We still need to change our equipment generation after generation? According to Zaichun’s meaning, modern troops must use the most advanced weapons for a long time!

If new weapons appear every year, this unit will not be able to maintain millions of silver every year?

The court did nothing else and kept the army?

"Stop talking, stop talking... My son, where does our imperial court have so much money to support the army! Change equipment every year, when will it be the end!"

Ci'an suddenly reached out to stop Zaichun's mouth, and instead of letting the little emperor speak, he stared at Cai Bixia and asked, "General Cai... You have been abroad, Ai's family wants to hear your truth!"

"Hao Sheng said to change the equipment. Do you think there is any good equipment worth changing now? How about opening the Ai family?"

Cai Bixia nodded, "There is really a novel thing that I want to give Long Live the purpose. Since the Empress Dowager wants to see it with her own eyes, that's fine... This is a new weapon recommended by our Chinese people to Long Live!"

A heroic female soldier came from afar, holding a file bag of kraft paper, and saluted the file to Cai Bixia respectfully.

"Your Majesty! The Head of State and many Bavarian capitalists jointly invested in a machinery factory, which was located in Munich... The Head of State named this machinery factory BMW Company!"

"Now BMW's key project is the Duke Zeppelin's war airship, this is a photo!"

A few black and white photos were taken out of the file bag, two of which were posing when they were still, while the rest were all photos of Zeppelin patrolling over the city of Paris.

"Your Majesty, look at this picture. This is a shooting that the war correspondent tried every means to capture... The First Flying Boat is throwing ** at the bastion in the outer city of Paris!"

"The Zeppelin, unlike ordinary hot air balloons, is an aircraft with an autonomous power system. As long as the wind is not too large, it will not affect its flight!"

"The maximum height of the experiment has been challenged to 2,000 meters, and the entire pod has a load capacity of 7 tons, which can be used for small-scale conflicts..."

"What the Head of State gives His Majesty is the price of friendship between master and disciple... 450,000 silver dollars per ship..."

"How much?" Ci'an shouted immediately, "It costs 450,000 silver dollars per ship?"

Cai Bixia smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, this is just the cost price... Daily maintenance still requires a lot of money. If His Majesty wants an Air Force assault force, then at least nine airships should be equipped!"

"Three-three system... means that three can fight at any time, three are on standby at any time, and the remaining three are repaired and maintained... Zhou Yifu always ensures that you have three aces in your hands and can be put into battle 24 hours a day!"

"Please rest assured by your Majesty... As long as you are willing, the Head of State can give you **! The only buyer of the Qing Dynasty, no competitor can expect to have such a weapon..."

"The later stage includes training personnel, building airship bases, purchasing ammunition, and parts... The Head of State gave His Majesty a package plan!"

"Five millions of Qing Kuping Silvers are guaranteed to be handed over to the combat force composed of His Majesty's nine airships within one and a half years!"

"No!" Ci'an shouted at that time, "What a dark heart. There are only nine hot air balloons, I want me to have five million taels of silver in the Qing Dynasty? Do you want me to be fooled by the Qing Dynasty?"

Cai Bixia was not angry, "Empress Dowager, this is really a friendly price. If it is purchased by other countries, such a supporting contract would cost more than 7 million taels of silver..."

"The master cherishes his apprentice, so he has a low price of 5 million!"

Cai Bixia looked at Zai Chun and smiled, "Your Majesty, you have seen a real modern war. You know that at the critical moment of the two armies' stalemate, the victory or defeat is sometimes on the front line!"

"A surprise can reverse all battle situations, and the winner naturally has various privileges..."

"War is always a high-risk, high-yield investment! Have you forgotten this basic skill?"

"Information... I'll stay here. Don't worry, we can talk about such a big business slowly. I have time!"

"Buy! Of course I want to buy it! Such a good thing must not be let go!" Zaichun shouted out without Ci'an nodding.

"No! You are crazy, your child, just let them cheat five million taels away? Where can the Ministry of Revenue give you money? The Ministry of Revenue is empty..."

"Empress Dowager, don't stop me. The court has no money. I will buy this airship unit with my own pocket!"
