Chapter 145 Military Order!

In the early dynasty, Gu Mohan, the new general of the northwest who came back from Ganzhou, went to the court, and after the emperor praised Gu Mohan's leadership to achieve the victory of Mobei, he awarded the general seal to Gu Mohan on the spot, and ordered Gu Mohan to inherit the title of Duke of Dingguo, and rewarded Gu Mohan with a Zhuangzi of 10,000 acres of fertile land and four pawnshops copied from the Marquis of Huibei.

Subsequently, the emperor announced that all the remaining property copied from the Hou family of Huibei would be given to Gu Mohan as military salary, and the field shop, including those treasures and sundries, would be disposed of by Gu Mohan himself, and the silver money obtained would be used as the military salary of the Northwest Army next year.

There was an uproar all over the country.

There was a chorus of opposition.

Wei Ge Lao even said on the spot, if Gu Mohan used up all the silver, and there was no money to supplement the military salary later, would the court have to pay twice?

I almost didn't point at Chu Yu and Gu Mohan's noses and scold, you guys are soliciting money in disguise!

After those ministers scolded enough, Gu Mohan said loudly, willing to make a military order, next year's military expenses, even if it is less, he will solve it himself, no longer ask the court for money, if it can't be solved and cause the soldiers to mutiny, then he will come to see him.

As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar after the silence of the Manchu Dynasty.

How many things copied out by the Hou family of Huibei, the people who can stand in the court have a number in their hearts, and they will not exceed 7.5 million taels in the sky.

The Northwest Army's annual military salary plus the arrears was 10 million taels.

With such a big gap in the middle, what will Gu Mohan use to fill it?

Is it really lively?

Could it be that in fact, the real military salary of the Northwest Army is only 8 million? Those two million are empty wages? How much money did the Luo family make before!

Wei Ge Lao did not allow Gu Mohan to regret it, and directly asked Gu Mohan to make a military order on the spot, of course, he kindly mentioned it, and the military department would replenish 500,000 yuan, enough for 8 million.

The emperor took advantage of the situation to agree, and the Zhongshu Sheren wrote the holy decree, and Gu Mohan wrote the military order, and the matter was given in court.

caused a secret discussion in the court.

There are all kinds of speculations.

However, as the three finalists, they are all very satisfied.

Whether it was too much empty salary in the past, or Gu Mohan's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, or Chu Yu's ideas, this result, Wei Ge Lao was very satisfied.

Generally, the income from the house is into the emperor's private treasury, it is difficult to enter the treasury, the spring of the money, the emperor used most of it, if Huibei Hou's also into the private treasury, I am afraid that it is also used in the emperor's construction of palace pleasures, etc., but now, Huibei Hou's money is the top of the military salary, and the household can be less than 10 million taels of silver next year.

And that money can build more roads, river embankments, and schools!

Chu Yu was very satisfied.

Gu Mohan is young and reckless, he doesn't know the severity, he just thinks about solving the current crisis and gaining a foothold in the army, but how can he make up for the gap of more than two million taels!

At that time, even if he doesn't mention it, Gu Mohan will also take the initiative to ask for disarmament, and then he will change half of the army from the conscription system to the cantonment system by the way, and the military salary can be reduced by one-third.

The Luo family thought that he didn't know, although the Rouran people were fierce, but the entire Rouran was only a few million people, where did they need so many troops to fight, back then, Gu Mohan was able to defeat the other party's 3,000 people with 500 people, which means that as long as 200,000 people, he can completely defend the city.

With such a huge army, there are more than the Praetorian Guards, is this to prevent Rouran, or to prevent him from the Chu Dynasty?

Gu Mohan was naturally satisfied.

What is written on the holy decree is that the income of the Hou family of Huibei, whether it is gold and silver or grange shops and other physical goods, except for the reward given to him, all of them will be disposed of by him, and after the military department makes up 500,000 taels of silver, it will be used as a year's military salary for the Northwest Army.

This is a dignified decree, written in front of the Manchu ministers.

In this way, even if someone pokes it out in the future, in fact, Qin Qi also copied the private treasury of the Hou Shizi of Huibei in Mobei City, and copied out 2.5 million taels of silver and 150,000 taels of gold, not to mention, as well as a large number of treasures.

Well, no one dared to go to him either.

Of course, Qin Qi did this secretly, that is, Luo Zhan did not tell him.

No one else can possibly know.

A big court meeting, in the end, everyone was happy, and when the dynasty was dispersed, Wei Ge Lao and Chu Yu couldn't laugh from ear to ear.

Only Gu Mohan still had a cold face, and said to Wei Zhao when he went out, if the money is not enough next year, you remember to help me borrow money!

makes people realize that this young man who doesn't know the height of the sky is afraid that he has finally come back to his senses.

There are even more people who go back and laugh at themselves.

*

After dispersing the court, remembering Gu Xinyue's appearance of being a fan of wealth, Gu Mohan simply took the holy decree and took people to take all the things that came out of the Hou family of Huibei and dragged them back to the Rongning County Lord's Mansion directly.

Gu Xinyue and Zi Su finished the list, and were asking Zi Su some questions about tea and salt control, when they heard the chatter outside, just opened the window and went out, Gu Mohan took a box in his hand, walked a few steps, and jumped directly from the window into the study.

Shiso lowered his head, put the pen down, and withdrew.

"Brother!" Gu Xinyue screamed, looked at the boxes that had been moved in, and said, "What is this?" ”

"The things copied from the Hou family in Huibei, you read it first, keep everything you like, and let Ji Jing sell what you don't like." Gu Mohan hugged her tightly, rubbed his chin on the top of her head, and said with a smile.

Since Chu Yu is definitely going to be disarmed, then it is just right that he can take the opportunity to deal with the soldiers left by General Luo.

The combat effectiveness of the army is not much, and an elite cavalry that can be obedient can refer to that and that is far stronger than a group of disobedient stragglers.

Chu Yu only cared about the number of people, as long as he reduced the number of people by 100,000, Chu Yu would not have thought at all that the 200,000 he left behind would be much stronger than the original 300,000 combat effectiveness.

Therefore, if it is purely a military salary, as long as 100,000 can be disarmed next summer according to the plan, the gold and silver in his and Qin Qi's hands will be enough.

The trouble is only armament and training on the battlefield.

Therefore, if Gu Xinyue likes and wants these things and shops, it doesn't hurt to give them all to her.

As long as it's not in your name, it's fine.

"You got them all back?" Gu Xinyue was surprised.

How long has it been? How can you do that?

"Well, these are all deeds, grange shops or something, you are right, the ones outside are the things that were searched, and some bulky furniture I don't think you like it, so I threw it directly to Ji Jing."

Gu Mohan handed her the box in his hand, turned around and sat on the kang, took off his court clothes, warmed his hands on the kang, reached out his hand, and hooked Gu Xinyue into his arms.

"Brother, do you know that the Hou family in Huibei has fourteen grain shops?" Gu Xinyue leaned on her chest, rummaged through the stack of deeds, and turned out the deeds of all the grain shops.

"Well, what? Do you like it? Gu Mohan took those deeds out of her hand and said, "Then leave them all." ”

"I mean, the shops of the Hou family in Huibei are very miscellaneous, but the grain shop is from Mobei to Jiangnan, which is exactly the route to the military rations in Mobei, you say, if you use these grain shops to trade in the old for the new every year?" Gu Xinyue blinked her eyes and said.

Gu Mo was stunned and said, "How did you come up with this?" ”

The price of old grain is 30 percent lower than that of new grain.

"When I was thinking about how to use these shops to make money, I drew a road map, and then remembered that someone had told me before, how your military rations went." Gu Xinyue replied extremely innocently.

Zi Su knew what the transportation route of the military rations in Mobei City was, and he couldn't tell Gu Mohan if he was killed.

"By the way, brother, do you have any friends who can speak in front of the emperor?" Shaking Gu Mohan's arm, Gu Xinyue answered.

"What? Would you like to meet your brother's friends? It's okay, I want you to see him, and if there is something in the future, you will ask him for help. Gu Mohan restrained his flickering coldness and said with a smile.

"No, I want you to ask that person, and Su Cen together, I have already thought of how to earn military pay for my brother." The light in Gu Xinyue's eyes flickered, as bright as a star.

The appearance of being happy for him wholeheartedly made the doubts in Gu Mohan's heart completely dissipate, and he nodded and said, "So, that's good, I'll make an appointment with them tomorrow." ”
