Chapter 360: Spending Money Like Flowing Water

In mid-November, Sun Xiao was called back to Fufeng urgently by Jiang Jiaquan, the chief official of Fufeng Zhengdong Mansion. It was more than one meter long, and Sun Xiao, who is in charge of Jishi Mountain, is so busy now, focusing on city defense construction with one hand and soldier training with the other. It is not enough for one person to be divided into several people. Go back by yourself, don't you add trouble?

Sun Xiao was not used to it. Before Gao Yuan was away, Fufeng Army was basically headed by him. Although Cao Tiancheng had a higher position than him, he was the master who only cared about making money. He basically ignored other things. Asked, I told him myself, and he also hummed twice, but since Jiang Jiaquan came, Sun Xiao felt less at ease. Jiang Jiaquan is the chief history of the Zhengdong Mansion, and his position is second only to Gao Yuan, and Sun Xiao was very surprised by Gao Yuan's importance to him. Before Gao Yuan went to Langya this time, he summoned all the generals and told everyone clearly that when he was away, everything had to be reported 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 Gao Yuan's order is irreversible. So even though he was dissatisfied, Sun Xiao hurriedly entrusted all the affairs of Jishi Mountain to the infantry, brought more than a hundred cavalry, and flew all the way back to Fufeng.

Due to the establishment of the Niulanshan Fortress, Donghu has been forced to stay away from the Fufeng area. This also makes there not many troops stationed in Fufeng County, except for the county government's arrest and a small number of soldiers patrolling the city. There are only those recruits from the Nanshan military camp, and Fufeng is getting more and more prosperous. In fact, during this year, it has become a center of trade between Liaoxi, Donghu, and the Xiongnu. However, with the fall of the Xiongnu, the grasslands were full of chaos, and there was chaos on the other side of the Donghu, and the entire transaction almost came to a standstill. Lord of death. Most of the shops have fallen into the situation of closing down, which also made Fufeng, which was bustling in the past, suddenly quiet down.

Sun Xiao, who entered Fufeng City on a flying horse, went straight to the General's Mansion, threw the saddle off his horse, and handed the horse back to the guards at the gate. He strode straight to the side hall. Gao Yuan was not there, and the main hall for discussion was closed. Now the entire Zhengdong Mansion is maintained, but all are concentrated in the Changshi Room in the side hall, and all things are handled by Jiang Jiaquan.

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

"Lao Jiang, Lao Cao, what is this? Call me back in a hurry. Today's Jishi City was founded, so many things are waiting for me to deal with. After going back and forth, a few days' work is gone! "Sun Xiao went straight in. He slammed the whip casually and was still on top of the big case, looking at the two of them dissatisfied.

Jiang Jiaquan frowned. His face changed a little, but he returned to normal immediately, and waved his hand, "General Sun, I know that the affairs in Jishi City are complicated now, but I still call you back. Naturally, there is something extremely important. You rushed back without stopping, thank you for your hard work." Alright, let's take a break and have a cup of tea, and then we'll talk slowly."

"Where is the time to drink tea,

Lao Jiang, what are you talking about? After I hear it, I have to go back to Jishi Mountain. "Sun Xiao said loudly:

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

Sun Xiao couldn't help being stunned by Cao Tiancheng's yell. Cao Tiancheng had never called him that before. Looking at Cao Tiancheng's livid face, Sun Xiao opened his mouth, finally closed it, and sat down sullenly.

Cao Tiancheng stopped Sun Xiao, turned around to look at Jiang Jiaquan, and said with a smile: "Don't blame Changshi, we are all soldiers, and we have suffered a lot since we were young. This kid Xiao is also worried about the general's important matter, Jishi City, after all, is related to our future!"

Jiang Jiaquan glanced at Cao Tiancheng in surprise. He did not expect that Cao Tiancheng, who usually looks not outstanding at all, could actually restrain Sun Xiao. After hearing Cao Tiancheng's words, he laughed, "Cao Sima, this What are you talking about? You are born in a poor family. Is it possible that I, Jiang, come from a wealthy family? Jiang’s parents are also the masters of the earth. It’s just a coincidence that I read a few more books. I don't like General Sun the most outspoken people. He can say whatever he thinks in his heart, and he has no bad intentions. Such a person is a good friend worth making. Foundation!"

Cao Tiancheng smiled, and Sun Xiao, who was on the side, became a little pale when he heard what Jiang Jiaquan said.

"Jiang Changshi, Sun is used to being careless, don't blame him!" He cupped his hands and said.

"What's so strange!" Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "Come here, serve 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?"

"Of course it's money!" Sun Xiao blurted out, "When I built the Niulan Mountain Fortress, I didn't think much of it. Now that I want to build a city, you can spend the money like water. Chang Shi, you don't know, The current Jishi Mountain has a population of more than 20,000 people who have lived there for a long time. After conquering the Gongsun tribe, I sent Gongsun Yi and Hutou to recruit the small Xiongnu tribes and exiled slaves on the grassland. No way, so many people came. Now the Huns have more than 1,500 cavalry. Counting the families of these people, there are nearly 10,000 people, and there are also nearly 10,000 slaves who died. People want to eat and drink. Although it is said that they have been paid for by work, and they are required to do work to pay for food every day, the money spent every day is gone. Moreover, when those Hun cavalry came and returned, according to the general's order, they had to give Settlement expenses, these people lived in tents, which saved a lot of money, but the exiled slaves built houses for them to live in, which also required money? The city drawn by the general was extremely complicated to build, and it cost a lot of money. The money is far more than ordinary city walls, and now my head is getting bigger. A few days ago, half of the money that Cao Sima sent over was spent. That is the old man of our Fufeng Army. You don't know Shi, but Lao Cao knows, the general has hidden the money for two years, and now I spend it like this when I take it out, it really hurts my heart."

Jiang Jiaquan listened carefully to Sun Xiao's words, and took the lead 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 job." Things, I really didn’t see the wrong person.”

As soon as Sun Xiao heard about this, he sighed, "Chang Shi, you think I love doing this, what I want most is to go to the front with the general, now it's all right, I'm about to become an expert in city construction First, it was Niulan Mountain, and now it is Jishi Mountain. If this continues, I don’t think I will have a chance to fight. In the future, where the general wants to build a city, I must be the first one to think of.”

Jiang Jiaquan laughed loudly, "General Sun is wrong. It is important to go to the front and charge, but what you are doing now is much more important than going to battle to kill the enemy. It is easy to find a strong general, but it is hard to find someone like General Sun." gone."

Sun Xiao smiled wryly, "Chang Shi, you don't want to put a high hat on me. As long as it is an order for the general, no matter what I do, I will never hesitate. It's just that there must be no shortage of money and food. I am not Fufeng. The direct descendants of the army, so many Huns, have not yet returned to their hearts, if something goes wrong, there may be big troubles."

Jiang Jiaquan nodded, "Speaking of this, what are your specific countermeasures?"

"The first one, of course, is to take their hearts first. According to the general's order, we only accept the family members. As long as we let their families have food and not go hungry, these people will not make trouble. The second The first is military training, let them gradually become familiar with the military regulations of our Fufeng Army, and gradually wear down their wildness. First, recruit a large number of young and strong soldiers among the recruited slaves, and always maintain the ratio of Central Plains soldiers to Huns in the army.”

"General Sun's countermeasures are very good!" Jiang Jiaquan nodded again and again, "The general really can't see the wrong person."

"Chang Shi, you asked me to come back, didn't you just listen to my report?" Sun Xiao looked at Jiang Jiaquan suspiciously.

"Of course not!" Jiang Jiaquan laughed, "General Sun, I called you back in a hurry. Naturally, there are important matters to discuss. Jishicheng, you can spend the money that should be spent, don't waste it. Jishicheng is our future. The foundation, the lair, cannot be ignored."

"I'd like to be serious, but you also need to have money. According to my estimation, the current money can only last for a month. It's tight. It's amazing for two months. After two months, it will be It's midwinter, and at that time, cotton clothes and heating are a big expense!" Sun Xiao said.

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

"Where did the money come from?" Sun Xiao asked in amazement. He knew the background of the Fufeng army. In the past, Gaoyuan didn't have many troops, and Gaoyuan's income from various businesses could support it. The expenditure has become an astronomical figure. Just to re-equip the troops brought by Meng Chong Xu Yuan, Cao Tiancheng spent all the private money he had saved with great difficulty. As the bottomless pit of Jishi City began to swallow money, Gao Yuan even All the money buried in Juliguan was taken out. When the money was buried, it was agreed that it would never be used in case of emergency. Now, seeing that the old money is going to be Used it clean.

"General Langya and his party have gained a lot!" Cao Tiancheng laughed loudly, "The general is really amazing. It goes without saying that he leads troops to fight, and this method of making money is also a croak. Sun Xiao, to tell you the truth, Ding Wei just came back two days ago, and he brought back a silver bill of one million taels. The general got it from Ning Zecheng, Zhou Yuan, and Ji Wugui, the Princess of Tianhe County."

Sun Xiao opened his mouth all of a sudden, "Aren't Ning Zecheng and Zhou Yuan our enemies? How can the general pay for it?"

"This is the general's method!" Jiang Jiaquan smiled with his beard, "Sun Xiao, this political matter is complicated, and it is difficult to explain it to you for a while, so don't worry about it, just focus on building Jishi City." That's it, this time the general knocked not only money, but also tens of thousands of armors, heavy armors!" , is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to read.) 9
