Chapter 189: The Emperor is also short of money

"Boom ......"

The dust was flying, the war horses were neighing, the steel knives and spears were shining in the sun, and hundreds of war horses were actually flying on the loess road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Driving ......"

"Herod'......"

At this time, the hundreds of Jinyi Wei and Dongchang Fanzi, including Ling Yun, no longer had the breeze of the past, and everyone's body, face, and hair were covered with dust.

Hundreds of people chased dozens of miles before they came to the front of two unknown mountains.

To Ling Yun's regret, along the way, the gallop did not catch up with Bai Jianfei at all.

Everyone took the war horse, stretched out their hands to block their eyes, and covered the light of the sun to look at it, only to see that the forests between the mountains were dense, although a path led straight to the depths of the forest, but the dense forest made Ling Yun and the others dare not move forward, and could only look at the depths of the woods with a little regret.

"My lord, now that Bai Jianfei has entered the mountain with the people of the Shuntian Dart Bureau, I still have to decide what to do next." The big stall leader urged the horse to come to Ling Yun's side and said.

Ling Yun's face seemed calm, but there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and threw the horsewhip into the depths of the woods.

After a long time, Ling Yun smiled bitterly: "Now that Bai Jianfei has entered the mountains and forests, it is impossible to catch up again, go back to report to the emperor first, and arrest Bai Jianfei, and you can only rely on the sea fishing documents issued by the yamen in various places......"

Bai Jianfei has already entered the mountain, and if everyone stays here, it will be in vain. In desperation, Ling Yun waved his hand and said two words lightly: "Go back to the city......"

In the capital, at the gate of Lingfu, as Zhang Gui presided over the funeral, a white silk was hung on the door of the mansion, and a spirit flag was raised, and the whole mansion was busy.

The pedestrians coming and going on the streets, the ruffians and hooligans of the three religions and the nine streams, and the peddlers' pawns, when they walked through the gate of the Ling Mansion, they all looked at the gate of the mansion and discussed with each other.

"I said this brother, what happened to Ling Ye's attachment to the funeral?"

"How do I know that! Go back and prepare, so that you can repay Ling Ye for his help......"

"Brother Tai is reasonable, I have to go back and prepare for ......"

……

As the sun sets, it is rare that for several months, the sky finally saw a piece of dark clouds gradually gathering, with a precursor to the coming storm, and the breeze continued to blow, making people feel extremely cool.

After a busy day of chasing, Ling Yun returned to the city with some disappointment.

Ling Yun did not return to the mansion directly, but entered the palace to meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The Imperial Study

After listening to Ling Yun's account of everything, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed and said, "Commander Ling doesn't have to worry, I will edict the world to open a reward for Bai Jianfei in the realm of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Humble thanks to Your Majesty Longen......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand, looked thoughtful, pondered for a moment and said: "The matter of checking the property of the Shuntian Dart Bureau will be handed over to Dongchang and Jinyiwei for the time being, and you can finish the funeral as soon as possible, and you can settle in the Flying Eagle Guard." By the way, how is the Flying Artifact made? ”

"If you go back to the emperor, all kinds of materials have been prepared, just for the sake of conservatism, the lowly has not taught anyone the manufacturing method of the flying artifact, and when the lowly post goes back, find a few more reliable people and teach them the production method, it is estimated that it should be able to be manufactured in ten days and a half months."

"Hmmm! All right! You go back immediately and hurry up to handle the funeral, and the recruits of the Eagle Guard should also hurry up training, and when you go back, someone will submit the roster to the History Department, so that they can make waist cards. ”

"Obedience to the Will......"

After making proper arrangements for all the important things, the Emperor of the Apocalypse walked up to Ling Yun's side, stretched out his hand and patted Ling Yun's shoulder and said with a smile: "I heard that you plan to open a salt shop, I don't know if this matter is true?" ”

Hearing the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Ling Yun was slightly stunned, but instead smiled innocently: "The emperor's eyes are like torches, he can't hide anything from you, hehe......hee"

"Without salt, everything you do, that's to sell illicit salt, so be it! I have allocated 2,000,000 stone of salt from the treasury to you, so that you can buy and sell salt in the name of righteousness. ”

When Ling Yun heard this, he thanked the Emperor of the Apocalypse with some joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En......

Before the word "En" could be spoken, the Emperor of the Apocalypse raised his hand and interrupted Ling Yun's words: "Don't be in a hurry to say thank you, two million stone salt leads, you must at least add 500,000 taels of silver to my internal treasury ......"

After hearing this, Ling Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, as the king of a country, the whole world is yours, do you still lack 500,000 taels of silver?" What's more, two million stone salt can't be sold in a while......"

"It's not that I'm unkind, in fact, I also know that 500,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and it can't be collected in a day and a half, it is estimated that at the end of September, the Guanning border army (Guanning refers to: Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, Jinzhou) should urge the military salary, and the treasury of the household department is empty, and my internal silver can't support it for long, if I don't want to get some silver, I'm afraid I will have to increase taxes from the people to supplement the salary."

After Ling Yun listened, he said with a clear expression: "Damn! No wonder such a large Ming Dynasty has such a large population, but in the end, it let Houjin, with a population of hundreds of thousands, sit in the world, and it is too poor for a long time, even the emperor pays the army salary, and it has to be added from the people of the world...... Alas......"

Sighing secretly, Ling Yun hugged his fist at the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "The emperor can rest assured, even if he is crushed, he will help the emperor get more silver......

"Hahaha! I knew you would agree, remember, don't tell anyone about it, only God knows, you know, I know! Alright, stand down! ”

"Obedience to the Will......"

Lingfu

Everyone was busy handling the funeral of the bad old man, and hundreds of Jinyi Weidong Factory fans came to Lingyun Mansion under the leadership of the big stall head.

The reason why they ran to Lingyun's mansion was because after entering the city, when they were separated from Lingyun, Lingyun asked them to go to the mansion to receive the reward.

Everyone was busy in the mourning hall, and a family member hurriedly ran in to report: "Madam, there are a large number of Jinyi guards and Dongchang fans outside the mansion who want to see them. ”

"Jinyi Wei ......"

"Dongchang Fanzi ......"

Everyone muttered and looked at each other. After a long time, the White Lotus said to the family: "You go and say, the house is handling the funeral, and it is not appropriate for a large number of people to come in, let them choose two people to come." ”

"Yes......"

Because of Lingyun's current identity, everyone is not as afraid of Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi as others, and they all look like they have nothing to do with the arrival of Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei, what should they do, they are all busy with the matters in their hands.

There was not much time, and in less than a cup of tea, the family came in with a big stall.

As soon as he entered the mourning hall, the head of the stall did not speak to everyone, but bowed respectfully three times to the coffin placed in the mourning hall.

After all the etiquette was completed, the big stall leader walked to the side of the white lotus, and said with a smile: "Madam, Commander Ling has brought something to Madame." ”

With that, the big stall took out a note from his arms and handed it to the White Lotus.

Everyone is a little confused, and the White Lotus is even more so.

White Lotus raised Qianqianyu's hand, took the note from the head of the stall and took a closer look, only to see that it was written: Take five thousand taels of silver and hand it over to the person who sent the letter.

Although there was no payment, White Lotus recognized it at a glance as Ling Yun's words, because the words written by Ling Yun were all missing strokes and incomplete. (A few words individually.) )

After reading it, the White Lotus was slightly shocked in her heart, five thousand taels of silver, that is not a small amount, because these days to buy food, and prepare to buy salt, plus the hero building often gives to others, the flow of funds in the house is already a little stretched, at this moment, Ling Yun let out five thousand taels, everyone is not surprised.

The White Lotus is not in charge of the money in the house, and her eyes are dark when it comes to money.

In desperation, he handed the note in his hand to the flower lily standing aside.

At this time, the flower lily, wearing a filial piety shirt, has a delicate figure, which looks extremely attractive.

As the saying goes, if you want to be filial. And the flower lily is set off by a filial piety shirt, and the perfect curve has reached the extreme.

After taking the note, Hua Lily looked at it for a long time before handing the note to Lin Shiyin and said, "Sister, let's see if I can make up enough silver taels in the house......

"Hmmm! I guess if you put together the silver taels from several shops, you should be able to make it up! ”

Wei Mansion, study

Wei Zhongxian sat on a golden silk nanmu Taishi chair, pushed a gift slip forward, and said to Wei Honglian standing in front of the table with a smile on his face: "Now that the Lingyun Mansion is holding a funeral, you should also go on a trip, and by the way, tell him that when you are done with this period of time, you will come to the mansion for a while, and the miscellaneous family has something to discuss with him." ”

Wei Honglian's heart was happy at the moment, because she knew very well in her heart what Wei Zhongxian meant when he said that there was something to discuss?

Grabbing the gift list on the table, Wei Honglian didn't even say thank you, and ran out of the study with a cigarette.

Lingfu

Lin Shiyin scraped together, except for some valuable things that had never been pawned, almost all the money in the house was put together, and he barely scraped together 5,000 taels and handed it over to the big stall.

Five thousand taels of silver have bills of exchange and cash silver, and hundreds of Jinyi Wei and Dongchang Fanzi thanked them for their kindness, and left with the silver.

When Ling Yun returned to the house, it was already nightfall.

"The old man ...... back home" (Oops, the old man died.) Ling Yun is the head of the house, so he changed his name to master. )

As the family shouted, the people in the house came out one after another.

"Lang Jun ......"

"Childe ......"

"Adult ......"

After seeing the salute one by one, Ling Yun looked at Ling Zhuang, Ling Zhi, Qian Wan and Qian Duishan, frowned slightly, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Didn't I ask you to go to Zhejiang to find Liu Rushi?" Why are you still here? ”

Several people hurriedly saluted: "Childe, I was originally going to leave, but the master drove the crane to the west, and the son went to chase the people of the Shuntian Dart Bureau, the villain was really relieved, so ......"

Listening to a few people, they were also worried about themselves, so they missed the trip, Ling Yun didn't blame a few people, nodded and said lightly: "Set off early tomorrow morning, and find Liu Ru is back as soon as possible......"

After finishing speaking, he strode into the mourning hall with his head held high.

"Yes......"
