Chapter 135 The eldest brother is also short of money

Considering that Gu Mohan would come, Gu Xinyue asked the pomegranate to make a large table of dishes.

However, the small dining table on Luohan's bed is not large, and there are at most four dishes and one soup.

Fortunately, after putting away the delicate but small amount of four dishes and one soup, Cai Wei came in with a large plate of braised hooves.

The kang in the room was hot, and two charcoal basins were placed, which was very warm, so Gu Mohan took off his leather jacket, only wore the black silk clothes inside, and sat opposite Gu Xinyue.

Seeing Gu Xinyue's eyes wandering between the armor and leather jacket and the thin silk clothes on his body, Gu Mohan smiled and said, "I am in good health, I am not afraid of the cold, besides, this is the skin of the fire, which is the warmest, I will bring you two back, let the begonia be made into a close-fitting jacket, no matter how cold it is, it doesn't matter." ”

Huo Zhi, Gu Xinyue was stunned for a moment, how could she never have heard of this kind of name.

"Young Master has been to the saltless pool?" Cai Wei exclaimed on the side, seeing that Gu Xinyue was puzzled, and said: "To the west of Ganzhou, there is a vast place, full of flames, rampant poisonous gas, very dangerous, there, there is only one animal to survive, that is, the fire burn, its sex is fierce, but the skin is the warmest thing. ”

"Brother, you went to that kind of place!" Gu Xinyue exclaimed, got up and poked over the dining table, wanting to check Gu Mohan's hand.

"It's okay, I didn't go in, but when I passed by, I happened to see a few fires." Gu Mohan smiled, but he shrank his hand.

The claws of the fire were more powerful than the blade, and his hands were scratched a few times, and Gu Xinyue only touched his body but not his hands before......

"That skin, my brother keeps it for his own use, and I don't have to go out, it's warm." Gu Xinyue sat back, her eyes still staring at Gu Mohan's hand.

"I've got one that's enough." Gu Mohan sighed, took off his hand armor, rolled up his sleeves and placed his arm in front of her, and said, "Really, you see, there's nothing wrong." ”

His arms were slender and powerful, and his forearms were bulging with a graceful muscle curve, and above that, there were three marks that had fallen off, and it had been some time, but they still had a hideous color.

It is conceivable that the skin must have been open at that time.

Gu Xinyue's thoughts about how much is the fire skin worth suddenly dissipated completely, and her fingers brushed the three scars, and there was a trace of heartache.

Gu Mohan flipped his hand, held her hand, and said to Cai Wei sideways: "I brought some things back outside, you go and count them, I won't stay in the capital for too long this time, I will live here, you arrange it, give them a place to live." ”

Cai Wei's heart moved slightly, nodded, quietly retreated, and then closed the door as well.

"Can you only stay for a few days?" Gu Xinyue asked in surprise.

Didn't you say last time that you would come back and renew your job, so you can stay longer?

"Hmm." Gu Mohan rubbed his hand on Gu Xinyue's hand, let go of her hand, picked up the rice bowl and said while eating: "The emperor has appointed me as the general of the Northwest and commands the border defense of the three states, and there are more than 500,000 troops under his command, and they have to take care of everything that eats and drinks Lasa. ”

Gu Xinyue was stunned for a moment, sandwiched a chicken leg for him, and looked at him silently.

Gu Mohan smiled, took a few big bites of rice, put down the empty bowl, and directly took the chicken leg with his hand and gnawed it, and said: "Three months before and after the Beijing Rebellion, the military department did not pay the Northwest Army a salary, and the money for those three months has been dragged down, when General Luo left, the general's account was all wiped out, not only did there be no money in the account, but there were also 200,000 taels of armament arrears. ”

"Luo family......" Gu Xinyue muttered softly, remembering the luxury she had seen in the Luo Mansion and Ye Su's unfinished words, her face sank unconsciously.

"Don't worry." Gu Mohan smiled lightly, stretched out his finger and scratched it on her nose, looking at the oil stains left on her round and lovely nose, and said, "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, you just have to think about it, in two years, you will have a powerful and rich ...... Brother is done. ”

The nose was greasy, Gu Xinyue glared at him, took a handkerchief to wipe off the grease stains, and said, "Then what do you do now?" I'm afraid that the three-month military salary is not a small number, and since General Luo has taken all the money away, he will naturally not make you feel better, but I am afraid that he will incite those old subordinates to come down and ask you for money, if you can't take it out, the impact on the soldiers will definitely be bad, maybe ......"

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, Gu Mohan's smile deepened, and he reached out again to pinch her white and lovely cheeks that had grown flesh, and said, "Ah, my Xinyue also knows this." ”

Gu Xinyue puffed out her lips and glared at him, she was obviously such a cold-blooded and ruthless general, how could she come here, she liked this kind of little action!

"Don't worry, I've already told the emperor in the palace in the afternoon."

Gu Mohan forcibly took his eyes off the red lips, resisted the urge to go up and kiss him, and said with a smile: "The military department is now in the hands of the emperor, and it just so happened that more than two million taels of silver were copied from the Hou family of Huibei this time, I can directly bring it back to pay the military salary, and the rest of the money can also be solved." ”

During the previous rebellion in the capital, Chu Yu copied a large amount of wealth when he raided his house, but most of that money has now been used by Chu Yu himself, or rather, he didn't think of using the money for the army first.

In the past, he could tolerate and wait, so that the loyalty to Chu Yu in the army would be lower, but now it can't, since he is already in this position, the people below must be contained.

So this time, he must take the money copied out by the Hou family of Huibei.

He didn't use any means, he quarreled with Chu Yu directly, arguing while settling accounts, anyway, if you don't give money, I won't do it.

In this way, Chu Yu agreed to let him take away all the silver and gold copied by the Hou family of Huibei this time, and those Zhuangzi, shops and other properties were also directly handed over to him to sell, and the money from the sale was deducted from next year's military salary.

In the end, Chu Yu himself said that the best granges and pawnshops of the Hou family in Huibei were directly given to him.

Thinking about it, the quarrel he ignored so much made Chu Yu feel at ease.

Yes, he is just a bloodthirsty killer who can be pinched by Chu Yu at any time, and he is just a reckless teenager who is simple, direct and easy to control without scheming.

A cold smile flashed at the corner of Gu Mohan's lips, and when he raised his eyes to see Gu Xinyue's worried look, he unconsciously said again: "What's wrong?" ”

"Hey, I'm thinking, brother, it's really not easy for you." Gu Xinyue sighed and said: "When you are a general, you have to worry about making money, if you have money, others will be jealous of you and taboo you, maybe in the future, it will be like Huibeihou and the Luo family, without money, I am afraid that the position will not be stable, but if you are not the general, I am afraid that it will be even worse." ”

Gu Mohan's heart was warm at first, and he felt that his heart was so soft that he was floating, but he was suddenly stunned, threw away the chicken bones, took a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and said in a deep voice: "What?" What's wrong? Who bullied you? ”

"You are in the palace, didn't the emperor tell you about the Gu family? And he ordered the Gu family to split up? Gu Xinyue was surprised.

"What kind of Gu family separation?" Gu Mohan's brows furrowed, and he said angrily: "They are coming to trouble you again!" ”
