I’m The King

Chapter 360: : Spending money is like running water

In mid-November, Sun Xiao was hurriedly recalled by Fufeng Jiang Jiaquan, the long history of the Fufeng campaign in the East Mansion. This made him quite unhappy. The construction of Jishicheng has just entered the right track, the foundation has been laid, and the city walls have been laid. Built more than one meter away, Sun Xiao, who is in charge of Jishishan, is now very busy, focusing on city defense construction on the one hand and soldier training on the other. It is not enough for one person to divide it into several people. Go back by yourself, don't you add chaos?

Sun Xiao was a little uncomfortable. Before Gao Yuan was away, he was basically responsible for the Fufeng Army. Although Cao Tiancheng had a higher position than him, he was a master who only cares about how to make money. He basically didn't care about other things. I asked, I told him, and he just said um, but since the arrival of Jiang Jiaquan, Sun Xiao has not felt so casual. Jiang Jiaquan was the long history of the Zhengdong Mansion, and his position was second only to Gao Yuan, and Sun Xiao was surprised by Gao Yuan's importance to him. Before going to Langya this time, he gathered all the generals and told them clearly that when he was away, he had to report everything to Jiang Jiaquan.

Sun Xiao really didn't understand what was so great about this old scholar, especially after he learned about Lu Liangshan's past from Yan Haibo.

But lofty orders are irreversible. So even though he was dissatisfied in his heart, after Sun Xiao hurriedly entrusted everything about Jishishan to the infantry, with more than a hundred cavalry, he returned to Fufeng at a speeding speed.

Due to the establishment of the Niulanshan Fortress, Donghu has now been forced away from the Fufeng area. This also makes Fufeng County not many troops stationed, except for the rapid arrest of the county government and a small number of soldiers patrolling the city. There are only those recruits from the Nanshan Barracks, the increasingly prosperous Fufeng. In fact, in the course of this year, it has become a center for the trade between Liaoxi and Donghu and the Huns. However, with the decline of the Huns, chaos in the grasslands and chaos occurred on the other side of Donghu. The whole transaction almost stopped, except for some. Lord of the dead. Most of the shops were closed down, which also made the bustling Fufeng suddenly quiet.

Sun Xiao, who entered Fufeng City, went straight to the general's mansion, slammed his saddle down, and gave the horse to the guard at the door. He strode straight to the side hall, and the main hall for discussion was closed when Gao Yuan was absent. Nowadays, maintaining the operation of the entire Zhengdong Mansion is concentrated in the long history room of the side hall, and Jiang Jiaquan handles everything.

When Sun Xiao stepped into the side hall, he happened to see Cao Tiancheng and Jiang Jiaquan talking with joy!

"Lao Jiang, Lao Cao, what's the matter? I hurriedly called me back. Now the start-up of Jishi City, how many things are waiting for me to deal with, this will come and go, and there will be no more time for a few days! "Sun Xiao rushed in. He slammed his horse whip as he was still on the big case, and looked at the two people dissatisfiedly.

Jiang Jiaquan frowned. His face changed a little, but he immediately returned to normal and waved his hand. "General Sun, I know that Jishi City is currently having complicated affairs, but I still call you back. Naturally, there are extremely important things. You rushed back non-stop and worked hard. Yes, take a break and drink a cup of tea, and then we will speak slowly."

"There is no time to drink tea, Lao Jiang, what do you say directly, I have finished listening, but I have to go directly to Jishishan." Sun Xiao said loudly:

"General Sun!" Cao Tiancheng yelled suddenly, "Sit down."

When Cao Tiancheng stopped drinking, Sun Xiao couldn't help being shocked. Cao Tiancheng had never called him like that before. He glanced at Cao Tiancheng's **** face, and Sun Xiao finally closed his mouth and sat aside sullenly.

Cao Tiancheng quelled Sun Xiao, looked back at Jiang Jiaquan, and smiled: "It's no wonder that long history, we are all soldiers. We have been a little bitter since we were young. We haven't read many books. I'm used to it, Sun. Xiao, this kid is also a major event for the worried general, Jishi City, after all, has a bearing on our future!"

Jiang Jiaquan glanced at Cao Tiancheng with a little surprise. He didn't expect that Cao Tiancheng, who usually doesn't seem outrageous at all, could actually control Sun Xiao. After hearing what Cao Tiancheng said, he hehe laughed, "Cao Sima this What are you talking about? You are from a poor background. Is it possible that someone from Jiang is a wealthy family? The parents of the Jiang family are also the masters of food in the soil. I just read a few more books by coincidence. I don’t like the outspoken people like General Sun the most. I just say whatever I think. I don’t have bad thoughts. Such a person is a good friend to make. It is because of your brothers that the general can create this scene. Foundation!"

Cao Tiancheng smiled, Sun Xiao on one side heard Jiang Jiaquan say, his face was a little darker.

"Jiang Changshi, Sun Mou is used to being careless, you can't blame it!" He arched his hands and said.

"What's weird!" Jiang Jiaquan smiled: "Come here, give General Sun tea."

Sun Xiao was a little impatient, "Chang Shi, what is it that called me back?"

Jiang Jiaquan smiled, "General Sun, you are in Jishi City now, what worries you the most?"

"Naturally it is money and food!" Sun Xiao blurted out, "When I built the Niulanshan Fortress, I didn't think so. Now I want to build a city, and the money will be spent like water. Long history, you don't know. The current Jishi Mountain has a population of more than 20,000 who live there. After I subdued the Gongsun tribe, I sent Gongsunyi and Hutou to recruit the small Xiongnu tribes and exiled slaves on the exile grassland separately. No, there are so many people. Now the Huns have more than 1,500 cavalry. Counting the family members of these people, there are nearly 10,000 people, and the number of lost slaves is also nearly 10,000. These People have to eat and drink. Although they are now being paid for by work, they are required to do daily work to pay for the food, but the money spent every day is gone. Moreover, the Huns cavalry who came and returned, according to the general's instructions, must be paid Let’s settle down. These people live in tents and save a lot of money, but the exiled slaves build houses for them. You have to ask for money? The city painted by the general is very complicated and costly. The money is far more than the average city wall, and now my head is getting bigger. The money sent by Cao Sima a few days ago, but half of the money went out. That’s the Lao Dier of our Fufeng Army, Chang Shi, you don’t know, but Old Cao knows that the general has hid the money for two years, and now that it was taken out by me, it’s really distressing."

Jiang Jiaquan listened carefully to Sun Xiao's words, and took his head again and again, "In just two months, General Sun opened up the situation in Jishi Mountain and gathered 20,000 people. It's amazing! The general chose you to do this. It’s true that you didn’t misunderstand anyone."

When he heard about this, Sun Xiao sighed, "Changshi, you think I love to do this thing, I, what I want most is to go to the front with the generals, and now I’m all right, I’m about to become an expert in city construction. First, Niulan Mountain, and now Jishi Mountain. If this continues, I don’t think I have a chance to go to battle. In the future, where the general wants to build a city, I must be the first to think about it."

Jiang Jiaquan laughed loudly, "General Sun is wrong. It is important to charge and fall into battle, but what you are doing now is much more important than going to kill the enemy. Fierce generals are easy to find, but like General Sun, it is hard to find. Up."

Sun Xiao smiled bitterly, "Chang Shi, don't wear a hat with me anymore. As long as it is an order to the general, no matter what I do, I will not hesitate. It's just that there must be no shortage of money and food. I am not Fufeng. The army’s direct line, so many Huns, have not returned home yet. If something goes wrong with this, there may be a big mess."

Jiang Jiaquan nodded, "Speaking of this, what is your specific response?"

"The first one, of course, is to take their hearts first. According to the general's orders, we only take the family members. As long as we let their families have food and are not hungry, these people will not make trouble. Second. This is the military training. Let them gradually become familiar with the military rules of my Fufeng Army, bit by bit to wear away their wildness. This is a water milling skill. You have to take it slowly, not in a hurry, and not speed. Third. One, among the recruited slaves, a large number of young and strong are recruited into the army, and the ratio of Central Plains soldiers to Huns in the army has always been maintained."

"General Sun's response is very good!" Jiang Jiaquan nodded again and again. "The general really won't misunderstand people."

"Chang Shi, if you called me back, wouldn't you just listen to my report on this matter?" Sun Xiao looked at Jiang Jiaquan suspiciously.

"Of course not!" Jiang Jiaquan laughed. "General Sun, one hundred thousand hurriedly called you back. Naturally, there is something to discuss. Jishicheng, the money that should be spent, you can spend it, don't save it. Jishicheng is our future. The foundation, the old nest, can't be taken lightly."

"I'm thinking about it, but I have to have money. According to my estimation, the current money can only last for a month. It's tight. It's great for two months. After two months, it will be It's midwinter. At that time, cotton-padded clothes and heating are another big expense!" Sun Xiao said.

"Don't be afraid, we have money!" Jiang Jiaquan laughed and waved.

"Where did the money come from?" Sun Xiao asked in astonishment. He knew the family of Fufeng Army. There were not many troops in Gaoyuan before. The income from various businesses in Gaoyuan could be sustained, but now the army has surged and its military expenditures are increasing. Expenses have become an astronomical figure.Just re-equipping the troops brought by Meng Chong and Xu Yuan has spent the little private money that Cao Tiancheng has saved with great difficulty. The old books buried in the Curieguan were all taken out. When the money was buried at the time, but it was agreed that before any time, I must not do it. Now, I see this old book. Used it clean.

"General Langya and his entourage, the harvest is very fruitful!" Cao Tiancheng laughed. "The general is really amazing. It goes without saying that he leads the soldiers to fight. This method of raising money is also a croak, Sun Xiao, tell you the truth, Ding Wei just came back two days ago, and he brought back one million taels of silver tickets. The generals knocked them from Ning Zecheng, Zhou Yuan, and Tianhe County Princess Ji Wugui."

Sun Xiao opened his mouth suddenly, "Aren't Ning Zecheng and Zhou Yuan our rivals? How can we still let the general knock out money?"

"This is the general's method!" Jiang Jiaquan must be smiling," Sun Xiao, this political matter, twists and turns, it is difficult to explain to you for a while, you don't care, just have a mind to build the stone city. That's it, this time the general knocked not only the money, but also tens of thousands of iron armors and heavy armor!"
