Chapter 139: The Idiot General

The border army of the three states adds up to 550,000 people, and the annual military salary is at least 8.5 million taels!

Add in three months' arrears of wages and debts, and that's nearly 10 million taels.

The things copied out by the Hou family in Huibei, Ji Jing got a rough list, except for 2.2 million taels of silver and 120,000 taels of gold, the others are all Grange shops, and then some jewelry, clothes and other sundries.

Clothes can't be sold for much money, and jewelry must be discounted if it is old, and at this time, selling granges and shops in large quantities will only be the same as when the imperial court sold the income from the raid after the capital rebellion in the spring, and all the value of all grange shops should be discounted.

It is no wonder that Chu Yu would agree to Gu Mohan's Grange to sell more and sell less to Gu Mohan's own responsibility, and he would sell it at the price of the spring court.

The income of Huibei Hou from the family, even if all the things are sold, the silver added is only 7.5 million!

This is equivalent to Gu Mohan having to bear a deficit of 2.5 million taels!

"General!" Ji Jing was so angry that he slapped the table directly.

"If you don't get these things now, in less than half a year, the emperor will disarm and then lower the standard of military salaries." Gu Mohan opened his eyes slightly, and his eyes were cold.

"This ......" Ji Jing was stunned again.

Also, the 400,000 troops in the northwest, even if they are divided into 100,000 to go to Mobei, there are 300,000, plus the army of Qinzhou, such a huge force, and it is also a strong army that has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can Chu Yu, a person who relies on the northwest army to win the world, not be taboo?

Even if he replaces General Luo, he will not rest assured that Gu Mohan will not be relieved.

The best way is to disarm and reduce the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army.

Drop the salary!

Ganzhou is a bitter cold place, and it is always facing war, so the military salary is also higher than other places, and even twice as high as those government soldiers.

If there is no attraction of military salaries, then how many soldiers of the Northwest Army are willing to stay?

"If so, if you are not in such a hurry and sell it slowly, maybe, you can sell it for an extra million taels." Gritting his teeth, Ji Jing said hatefully.

"That, brother." Looking left and right, Gu Xinyue opened her voice carefully.

"Huh?" Gu Mohan sat up straight, pulled Gu Xinyue's hand and said, "What's wrong?" Cold? ”

"I, can you take a look, what are the things, maybe, we don't have to sell them." Gu Xinyue brought a hint of timidity, and then brought more excitement, and said.

"What? If you like it, you can stay. Gu Mohan bent his eyebrows and smiled softly.

"General!" Ji Jingli shouted: "It's all for the girl, what do you get to pay the military salary!" ”

After three days and three nights, you're an idiot!

Gu Mo glanced at him coldly, and just wanted to say that Qin Qi had dug up the private treasury of the Hou Shizi of Huibei in Mobei City, he was pulled by Gu Xinyue, and when he looked back, Gu Xinyue's face was irrepressible excitement.

"Brother, don't give it to me, I'll help you run it, don't you say, is there a grange shop there? Where's the Grange? How big? What was planted before? What are the shops? What other shops are there besides pawnshops? With so many fields and shops, as long as you make a good living, you can make much more money every year than you can sell. Gu Xinyue's eyes lit up.

"Girl!" Ji Jing screamed and said, "The army's salary is paid every month, so you have to wait there to make money slowly!" ”

"Ji Jing!" Gu Mohan glared at Ji Jing, turned his head and said softly: "Xinyue, this is okay, it's just that if those things are in my brother's name, then my brother can't say it clearly." ”

"Don't be afraid of this, in this way, brother, you first get me a list of everything, and then give me the amount and time you need to use the money, and I'll figure it out. Luckily? Gu Xinyue raised her head and looked at him, a pair of apricot eyes were shining with stars, and there was a little light.

Gu Mohan seemed to see the starry sky on the summer night in the northwest wasteland, brilliant, gorgeous, and full of vitality.

"Good!" Gu Mohan made the final decision.

"I'm going to eat!" Ji Jing snorted, got up and left.

Gu Mohan actually became like this! He wouldn't believe the sun coming out of the west!

I just don't know, Qin Qi knows if I don't know......

"Ji Jing seems to be angry?" Looking at the shaking door curtain, Gu Xinyue stuck out her tongue, smiled delicately, and did not apologize at all.

"Do you have faith?" Gu Mohan grabbed her little hand and stroked it slowly, and asked with a smile.

"Well, a little bit of confidence." Gu Xinyue turned around and said: "However, I have to take a look at some things first, if it meets my needs, brother, I will be responsible for the military expenses you lack in the future!" ”

From the words of Gu Mohan and Ji Jing, it can be known that it is inevitable for the emperor to disarm and reduce military salaries, but in Ganzhou, it is not that the emperor can make peace if he wants to, and it will still be Gu Mohan who will face the enemy and pressure at that time.

Once he fails, as long as he does it once, Gu Mohan will never recover.

And she's finished......

If Gu Mohan wants to stand firm and win, he must have his own elite soldiers, and if the emperor doesn't give money, he has to find money by himself.

That notch, it won't be small.

Gu Mohan's heart was suddenly stunned, and he looked down at Gu Xinyue, the little girl's still immature face was resolute, with the courage to move forward, and made a promise to him.

"Brother said, a qiē ......"

"Brother," Gu Xinyue raised her hand to cover Gu Mohan's mouth, and smiled smartly: "I know, my brother will protect me, but, brother, I also want to do my part, I also want to help my brother, I also want to, protect my brother, you also know, your sister and I may not be able to do anything else, but I have a talent for making money!" Our brothers and sisters work together, and their strength breaks gold! ”

Something was surging and burning in the depths of my heart, and the heat rushed into my brain and into my eyes.

Gu Mohan only felt that his eyes were astringent, hot, and fierce, and he hugged Gu Xinyue tightly into his arms.

At the age of fifteen, the body in his arms was still petite and weak, and the joints were so soft that they seemed to shatter if he exerted his strength.

Such a girl should have been cared for in the palm of her hand, as long as she eats, drinks and sleeps well every day, appreciates the flowers, watches the moon, and when she has nothing to do, she recites poetry and paints, or chats with those noble girls.

But what she wanted was to protect him......

Protect him with such a delicate and cute body......

He's a rakshasa! It was Gu Mohan, the Northwest Killing God who trembled when he heard his name.

But this little girl said, "Protect him!"

"Brother! You trust me! I really, I can make a lot of money! Being pressed to her chest by Gu Mohan, Gu Xinyue shouted hard.

So, don't worry, boldly hand over your treasury to me!

Just remember to give me a trio red!

"Well, brother believes you." Gu Mohan's voice was hoarse, and he said softly: "Xinyue, tomorrow, we will go to the Gu Mansion and ask the Gu Mansion to make the accounts public and take back everything that belongs to you." ”

"Really! Yes, yes! ”

Yes! Angry, angry!
