Chapter 133: It's not easy
"Uncle Liang, is there anything else to worry about between you and me" Seeing that the atmosphere between himself and Wang Liang was getting more and more awkward, Mu Qi'er had to speak first. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Huh!" Exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, Wang Liang began to tell his intentions.
"Young Master Yuan, you also know that our personnel who first entered the camp were already weak, and the damage was very great this time, so I thought that when we arrived at the station, would we expand the recruitment again?"
Because now that the first camp is no longer under the direct management of Mu Qi'er, Wang Liang is still a little cautious when it comes to the expansion of the army.
"You can just look at this Uncle Liang, but what about the personnel and expenses?" Now this miserable situation really has no choice but to let go of power.
When it came to the issue of development planning, Wang Liang's interest was obviously a lot higher, and he was enthusiastic to introduce the various rules of the northern battlefield to Mu Qi'er.
It was also at this time that Mu Qi'er understood why the quartermaster had to raise his own food and grass before.
It turned out that because of the frequent fighting in the northern battlefield and the very harsh environment, adopting the method of central control was not only laborious and laborious, but also easy to breed corruption in the army.
Therefore, under the advice of some people of insight, the Dayuan Dynasty basically adopted a free-range attitude towards the area where the northern battlefield was located, and every army with an independent number maintained absolute freedom in other affairs except for accepting the general dispatch of Tianbei City! Even enjoy the right to the management of the tax collection of the station!
It's like a big net, which separates all the large and small cities on the northern battlefield, and if you do a good job, you will naturally have enough food, and the army will grow, but if you don't do it well, not to mention the development under your rule, the barbarian army that will come out at any time will wipe everything out!
In other words, Mu Qi'er is about to be fortunate enough to become a small feudal lord, in addition to being not hereditary, not very safe and stable, in the territory is his word!
This system made Mu Qi'er a little interested, and the military and politics were grasped, and the yearning for power was a man's instinct.
Just when Mu Qi'er and Wang Liang were discussing the management of the garrison in the future and the discovery of the first camp, Cen Qian and Fei Yuan, who had been sent out earlier to discuss the residence of the house, finally came back.
As the core and most prosperous city in the entire northern battlefield, even in the corner of this city, the price of its housing is a lot of money.
Cen Xuan and Fei Yi inquired about several houses along this street one after another, and according to the scale of the number of people who first arrived in the camp, it would cost at least three or four silver coins to live in three days!
And Mu Ki'er only has a silver coin in his hand! Wang Liang is also a poor haha, Cen Fei Yi and the others, as a relatively senior hunter, still have some money on hand, and the total amount of zero and zero is only the measure of ten silver coins!
Not to mention that you have to consider the food expenses of the entire team in the past three days, Mu Qi'er naturally doesn't care, but it's not good to let the soldiers eat bran in the last few stable days before the expedition.
In this way, the cost of living for three silver coins seems to be a bit expensive, and everyone's faces are also sad for a while, do they really have to go to camp outside the city to endure such bitter cold?
At this moment, Fei Yi said with hesitation on his face:
"I know that the eldest brother has saved a sum of money in Chaotianque, and I haven't heard that he has any wives and children, I don't know if we can take it out for him and use it for the time being, and return it in the future?"
Fei Yi's words made the scene silent for a while, Liu Qing died tragically under the hooves of the beast that reached the sky, and everyone already had remorse in their hearts, and now if they took out the money at the bottom of the box and used it, it would be a little too much of a hot and cold world.
"I agree, if the eldest brother is still here, he will probably support us at this time." Sighing fiercely, Cen Miao also supported Fei Yi's proposal.
Wang Liang looked at the soldiers who were still neatly lined up in the cold weather behind him, and his tone became firm.
"In that case, Cen Miao stayed, and Fei Yi and I went to Chaotianque in the northern city of this day to ask if we could report Liu Qing's death and take out the money."
From the beginning to the end, several people didn't mean to ask Mu Qi'er's opinion, I don't know if it was out of fear of Mu Qi'er's embarrassment, or if everyone had become accustomed to this way of doing things in recent days.
Seeing that Wang Liang and Fei Yi were about to leave, Mu Qi'er finally couldn't hold back the fluctuations in his heart and spoke.
"Don't go, Liu Qing's is Liu Qing's! Let's talk about what to use for the time being! ”
"Let's choose a quiet courtyard to rent first, and I'll figure out how to do the rest!"
"That's it, the whole army is leaving!"
The firmness and irrefutable nature in Mu Qi'er's words couldn't help but make Wang Liang and Cen Feiyi look at each other a little, face is something that is only to be talked about after being warm, at this time, in such a miserable situation, Mu Qi'er obviously showed signs of dying to save face and suffering crimes, and dissatisfaction gradually sprouted in everyone's hearts.
However, due to Mu Qi'er's identity as the young son of the Wang family and his consistent strong impression, everyone had to honestly gather soldiers to follow Mu Qi'er's footsteps.
After a rough comparison of the nearby courtyards, after a simple bargain, Mu Ji'er rented out a slightly dilapidated courtyard.
The pitch-black stone wall reveals a deep and heavy meaning, this courtyard looks slightly dilapidated because there is only a pair of old people living in it, but the inside is still basically intact, you can live in it with a simple tidying up, as for the bedding or something, it is ready-made, as long as it is taken out of the marching bag.
The owner of the house was also very polite to Mu Qi'er and the others, not only took special care of some precautions such as curfew patrols and other precautions for living in Beicheng on this day, but also accepted Mu Qi'er's request for three silver coins to pay the rent a day.
After this back and forth, all the soldiers were inevitably tired, so they borrowed a large pot of hot water from the kitchen from the owner's father-in-law, and broke the wheat bran cakes sent by Tianbei City in the marching bag and mixed them in, and a pot of hot wheat porridge was finished.
The soldiers who couldn't even eat hot food in the northern part of the sky for a few days didn't have time to dislike anything for a while, and a group of people were full of hula around the cauldron, and the sky was already completely dark.
After the meal, the soldiers who had a rare moment of relaxation and relaxation began to play in groups, and some of the bold ones even proposed to Wang Liang to go out to visit Tianbei City together.
At this time, Mu Qi'er naturally didn't want to be rigid, and everyone had to straighten the string in their hearts, and after instructing Wang Liang to pay more attention to the safety of the soldiers, he would not interfere too much, and let the soldiers entertain themselves.
Because of its dangerous location, Tianbei City has always maintained the tradition of curfew, even if it has lost a large amount of money.
At this moment, there are still about two hours before the curfew, and there is enough time for Mu Wai'er to do something.
In his room, he took off a heavy armor and put it away, and the heavy knife was gently lifted in his hand, Mu Qi'er hurried out of the door wearing only a burlap shirt, and the shining lights in the center of Tianbei City reflected in the night, and it seemed that Mu Qi'er's figure had a little rickets.
