Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

New Year is a festival that has been passed down for thousands of years in the Daqian Kingdom. On this day, everyone would wear new clothes, put braised pork on the table, and hang lanterns and decorations and set off firecrackers to welcome the new year. But this year, all of this did not happen in the Daqian Kingdom because the advent of war broke the original rhythm of the Daqian Kingdom.

In the Northwest Qin Mansion, Qin Lin and his son Qin Yuanzhong were sitting on the sofa drinking tea and eating melon seeds. Others were busy. For example, Qin's mother was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, several concubines were helping, and Qin Lin's sisters were also busy. Only these two men were chatting in the living room.

"It's another year!"

Qin Yuanzhong sighed, "Time is like flowing water. I don't know who said it, but it's really like flowing water. Once it's gone, it can never come back. We can only move forward, not back. It takes a cultured person to say that. It's really appropriate!"

"Boy, you are also nineteen years old this year."

Qin Yuanzhong looked at Qin Lin with satisfaction and said, "When I was your age, I was still a soldier in the army! You are commanding a million troops at the age of 19. It is impressive. Otherwise, a fortune teller would say that you are destined to succeed. Without destiny, who can achieve such success at the age of 19? I am afraid that only a few emperors in history can achieve such success!"

"Don't praise me. I don't have any red envelopes to give you."

"Hahaha, you're so stingy," Qin Yuanzhong slapped Qin Lin on the shoulder and said, "You seized so much money in Kyoto, I don't want your money, but these are nearly 20,000 antiques and calligraphy and paintings, I'll only pick one, this is okay! How does the saying go, there are three thousand rivers, I only take one scoop."

"Tell me what you want first?"

Qin Lin would not be cheated, so he screened the seized antiques and calligraphy and selected 3000 top-quality cultural relics for his collection, and handed the rest over to the four major banks for auction. After evaluation by professionals, the remaining 8000-plus pieces of antiques and calligraphy were worth more than 5000 million yuan, with an average price of more than oceans. If they sold well, they would be worth over million yuan.

As for the 3000 top-level cultural relics selected, they are priceless and immeasurable. They are the top works of each dynasty and are national treasures.

"Don't be so stingy. You are not like your father at all!" Qin Yuanzhong said, "The money seized in Kyoto alone is as high as 1.9 million oceans, and there are 90 tons of gold, which is also worth hundreds of millions. The cultural relics handed over to the four major banks for auction are also worth hundreds of millions. That's more than 9900 million. In addition, Dongsheng Group has brought in million in net profit this year, and million in war reserve funds. You have million in your pocket now. You are rich enough to rival a country, and you are still so stingy!"

Qin Lin did not refute what Qin Yuanzhong said. In fact, 3000 million was not enough, because the 9900 top-level cultural relics alone were priceless, and the Dongsheng Group's profit was 9900 million. It was far more than that, but Qin Lin only took out 6 million, and the rest was used for the development of the Dongsheng Group. There was also gold, which had increased a little bit, so he now had at least million in his pocket.

"I mean old man."

Qin Yuan said, "This year, the fiscal revenue of the six northwestern provinces has also increased a lot. I heard that it is more than 8000 million. The Ministry of Agriculture has made a profit of tens of millions, and the arms have made a profit of millions. You are not much poorer than me!"

"fart!"

Qin Yuanzhong said angrily, "Damn it, I haven't even warmed my hands on the 8600 million yet, and it's all been distributed. The Ministry of Transportation, the Cabinet, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Military Affairs all don't need to spend money. Fortunately, the Ministry of Agriculture is profitable this year, otherwise my pockets would be empty. I don't care, you must give me this antique."

"I can give it to you, but there is a condition," Qin Lin said.

"What conditions?"

"The war is about to begin, so I plan to improve the treatment of the soldiers," Qin Lin said. "All pensions will be based on the standards of our 7th Army. The same goes for military pay. Each soldier will receive an increase of 8 yuan, while officers will remain the same."

"How many?"

"8 dollars, I'll give you my life, will you?"

Qin Yuanzhong spat out a mouthful of tea and counted on his fingers, "The Qin Army now has 125 million ground soldiers and 5 air force soldiers. The ground soldiers alone need 6 million per month, or 750 million per year, based on the original 9000 yuan military pay. The tax revenue of the six northwestern provinces is 8600 million, and the annual expenditure of the army alone is 9000 million. Add in food, drink, and defecation, and your uncle Luo gave me a number, at least 1.2 million. Fortunately, the agricultural harvest is great, the annual income of the four major industries has reached tens of millions, and the arms have made more than 800 million. I can fill the gap now. Otherwise, I have to reduce the military pay, and you are raising it!"

"You kid, you're holding onto a large sum of money and never spending it. You're such a stingy person!" Qin Yuanzhong complained, "You know if it goes up to 8 yuan, our military budget will have to increase by 3000 million yuan a year. Where can I get 3000 million yuan?"

"I'll make it up."

"Oh."

"That can."

"Hahaha, you should have said it earlier," Qin Yuanzhong said with finality, "No problem, I promise you."

Qin Lin was delighted to hear Qin Yuanzhong's agreement. In fact, his real purpose was the pension. Once the war started, the pension would be much more than the 3000 million military pay. The Qin family could not swallow up or not pay the pension to the soldiers who died in the war. All the money had to be paid in real terms. Therefore, when the war started, the pension would be one of the biggest expenses.

He found out when he was drinking with his father some time ago that his father had opened an account at Citibank and Swiss Bank, which contained his pension, so hehe!

"Tell me," Qin Lin smiled and shook his head, "What antiques did you fancy?"

"hey-hey."

Qin Yuanzhong said with a sly smile, "Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu."

"dog!"

"A real dog!"

Qin Lin said with a pained expression, "No problem, I'll give it to you!"

Qin Lin also likes Tang Yin's Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu very much, and its value can be ranked in the top 50 among these 3,000 top cultural relics. It is at least over one million level, and it is a priceless treasure in peacetime.

Lushan Waterfall Viewing Painting, auction value 35.9 billion yuan

"Haha, he has to be my biological son."

Qin Yuanzhong laughed, and then the family began to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. This year was no different from previous years. Qin Lin and his father were so drunk that no one knew how they got to the room.

After the New Year, everything revived and the entire Northwest began to move again. Factories started operating, schools opened, and all departments began to operate. The new year also brought new goals. In particular, Qin Yuanzhong issued a death order that this year the six northwestern provinces must collect hundreds of millions of yuan in fiscal and tax revenue alone to create a new era for the Northwest.

At the end of winter, the Oriental country in the north also stabilized. A large number of armored tanks arrived in the northern region, and a large number of fighter planes also arrived in the northern region. The Japanese also began to build factories in the three black provinces to exploit the strategic resources of the three black provinces.

In addition, the Qiannan General Army, the Third Front Army, and the Sixth Front Army began to move.

Because of the failure of the Second Allied Forces, the imperial court began to denounce all major forces as traitors, refused to fight a second war of resistance, and established a newspaper to replace the KMT Daily. However, its monthly sales were less than 50, which posed no threat to the KMT Daily!
