In the middle of November, Sun Xiao was urgently recalled to Fufeng by Jiang Jiaquan, the long history of Fufeng Zhengdongfu, which made him quite unhappy, the construction of Jishi City has just entered the right track, the foundation has been all laid, and the city wall has been built more than one meter.

Sun Xiao is a little unaccustomed to it, when Gao Yuan was not there before, the Fufeng Army was basically in charge of him, although Cao Tiancheng's position was higher than him, but this is the master who only cares about how to make money, and he basically ignores other things, and he told him, and he just said twice, but since this Jiang Jiaquan came, Sun Xiao felt less casual. Jiang Jiaquan is the governor of Zhengdong Mansion, and his position is second only to Gao Yuan, and Gao Yuan's attention to him also surprised Sun Xiao. This time, before Gao Yuan went to Langya, he summoned the generals and clearly told everyone that when he was not there, everything needed to be reported to Jiang Jiaquan.

Sun Xiao really didn't understand what was so great about this old scholar, especially after he learned about the past of Luliangshan from Yan Haibo.

But the commands of the lofty, shall not be disobeyed. So although he was dissatisfied in his heart, Sun Xiao still hurriedly entrusted all the affairs of Jishi Mountain to the infantry, took more than 100 cavalry, and galloped all the way back to Fufeng.

Due to the establishment of the Niulanshan Fortress, today's Donghu has been forced away from the Fufeng area, which also makes Fufeng County not much army stationed, in addition to the county government and a small number of soldiers patrolling the city, there are only those recruits in the Nanshan military camp, the increasingly prosperous Fufeng, in fact, in this year, has become a center of trade between Liaoxi and Donghu, the Xiongnu, but with the fall of the Xiongnu. The grassland is full of chaos, and there is chaos at the end of Donghu, the whole transaction almost stopped, except for some masters who are not afraid of death, most of the shops have fallen into the point of closing down, which also makes the lively Fufeng in the past also quiet down suddenly.

Sun Xiao, who entered Fufeng City, went straight to the General's Mansion, threw off the saddle and dismounted, gave the horse to the guards at the door, and strode straight to the side hall, which was far away. The main hall of the deliberations was closed, and now the operation of the entire Zhengdong Mansion is concentrated in the Changshi Room in the side hall, and everything is handled by Jiang Jiaquan.

When Sun Xiao stepped into the side hall, he happened to see Cao Tiancheng and Jiang Jiaquan talking happily!

"Lao Jiang, Lao Cao, what is the matter, hurriedly called me back, the current Jishi City was founded. How many things are waiting for me to deal with, this time comes and goes, and a few days of hard work are gone! Sun Xiao went straight in, and casually slammed the horsewhip and was still on top of the big case. looked at the two of them dissatisfied.

Jiang Jiaquan frowned, his face changed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal and waved his hand. "General Sun, I know that the current affairs of Jishi City are complicated, but I still call you back. Naturally, there are extremely important things, you rush back non-stop, hard work, take a break first, drink a cup of tea, and then we will talk slowly. ”

"How can you have the kung fu to drink tea, Lao Jiang, what do you say directly, I have to go back to Jishi Mountain directly after I have heard it." Sun Xiao said loudly:

"General Sun!" Cao Tiancheng suddenly snorted, "Sit down." ”

was cut off by Cao Tiancheng, Sun Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, Cao Tiancheng had never called him that, glanced at Cao Tiancheng's face, Sun Xiao's mouth opened, and finally closed it, and sat to the side sullenly.

Cao Tiancheng suppressed Sun Xiao, turned his head to look at Jiang Jiaquan, and said with a smile: "Long history is strange, we are all from the military, we have been a little bitter since we were children, we haven't read much, we are used to it, Sun Xiao, this kid, is also a big matter for worrying about the general, Jishi City, after all, it is related to our future!" ”

Jiang Jiaquan glanced at Cao Tiancheng with some surprise, he didn't expect that Cao Tiancheng, who usually didn't look outstanding at all, could actually suppress Sun Xiao, and after listening to Cao Tiancheng's words, he laughed, "Where did Cao Sima come from, you are from a humble background, is it possible that I, Jiang someone, am I from a wealthy family?" The Jiang family's parents are also the masters of the soil shaved food, I just read a few more books by chance, I don't like General Sun the most outspoken person, whatever you want to say, no bad intentions, such a person is a good friend worth making, and it is precisely because of brothers like you that the general can create this foundation! ”

Cao Tiancheng smiled, and Sun Xiao on the side listened to Jiang Jiaquan's words, and his face was a little pale.

"Jiang Changshi, Sun is used to being very arrogant, don't blame you!" He arched his hand and said.

"What's so weird!" Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "Come on, serve tea to General Sun." ”

Sun Xiao was a little anxious, "Changshi, what is it that called me back?" ”

Jiang Jiaquan smiled, "General Sun, you are in Jishi City now, what worries you the most?" ”

"Naturally, it's money!" Sun Xiao blurted out, "When I built the Niulanshan Fortress in the past, I didn't think it was like anything, but now I want to build a city, and the silver will be spent like water." Long history, you don't know the way, now Jishi Mountain, the population of living there for a long time has exceeded 20,000 people, after subduing the Gongsun tribe, I sent Gongsun Yi and Hutou them, separately to recruit those small Xiongnu tribes and exiled slaves on the grassland, but no, there are so many people, now the Hun cavalry has exceeded 1,500 horses, counting the families of these people, there are nearly 10,000 people, and those slaves who died are nearly 10,000 people, these people want to eat and drink, although it is said that it is now a labor relief, They were asked to do work every day to pay for food, but the money they spent every day was also gone. Moreover, those Hun cavalry came back, according to the general's orders, to pay for the settlement, these people live in tents, so that they save a lot of money, but the exiled slaves are building houses for them to live in, which also has to ask for money, right? The city that the general painted was extremely complicated to build, and the cost of money far exceeded that of ordinary city walls, and now my head is going to be bigger. Some time ago, half of the money that Cao Sima sent over was gone. That's the old bottom of our Fufeng Army, you don't know the way of the long history, but the old Cao knows the way, the general has hidden the money for two years, and now as soon as he takes it out, he is spent by me like this, which is really distressing. ”

Jiang Jiaquan listened carefully to Sun Xiao's words in one breath, and occupied his head again and again, "In just two months, General Sun opened up the situation in Jishi Mountain and gathered 20,000 people, which is amazing!" The general chose you to do this, and he really didn't see the wrong person. ”

As soon as he heard this, Sun Xiao sighed, "Changshi, you love to do this, I, what I want most is to charge with the general, now it's okay, I'm about to become an expert in building a city, first Niulan Mountain, and now it's Jishi Mountain, and then if it goes on like this, I don't think I have a chance to go into battle, where the general wants to build a city in the future, the first thing I think about must be me." ”

Jiang Jiaquan laughed, "General Sun, this is wrong, it is important to go into battle and charge into battle, but what you are doing now is much more important than going into battle to kill the enemy." Fierce generals are easy to find, but like General Sun, they are difficult to find. ”

Sun Xiao smiled bitterly, "Changshi, you also wear a high hat with me, as long as it is an order to the general, no matter what I do, I will have no hesitation, but this matter of money and food, there must be no shortage, I am not a descendant of the Fufeng Army, so many Huns, I have not returned to my heart yet, if something goes wrong, there may be a big mess." ”

Jiang Jiaquan nodded, "Speaking of this, what are your specific countermeasures?" ”

"The first one, of course, is to collect their hearts first, according to the general's orders, we only accept those who drag their families, as long as we let their families have food to eat and not go hungry, these people will not make trouble. The second is military training, so that they can gradually become familiar with the military regulations of our Fufeng Army, and grind away their wildness little by little. Third, recruit a large number of young and strong men among the recruited slaves, and always maintain the ratio of Central Plains soldiers to Huns in the army."

"General Sun's response is very good!" Jiang Jiaquan nodded again and again, "The general really won't look at the wrong person."

"Changshi, you asked me to come back, wouldn't you just listen to my report?" Sun Xiaohu looked at Jiang Jiaquan suspiciously.

"Of course not!" Jiang Jiaquan laughed, "General Sun, 100,000 people are in a hurry to call you back, naturally there is a big matter to discuss, Jishi City, the money that should be spent, you can spend it, don't save it, Jishi City is our foundation in the future, the nest, you can't ignore it."

"I want to be energetic, but I also have to have money, according to my estimates, the current money, can only support a month, tight, great two months, two months later, but it is the middle of winter, at that time, cotton clothes, heating, is a lot of expenses!" SUN Xiaodao.

"Don't be afraid, we have money!" Jiang Jiaquan smiled and waved his hand.

"Where did the money come from?" Sun Xiao asked in surprise, he knew the background of the Fufeng Army, there were not many Gaoyuan troops in the past, and Gaoyuan's various business income could be supported, but now the army has surged, and military spending has become an astronomical amount, just re-equipping the troops brought by Meng Chong and Xu Yuan has spent all the private money that Cao Tiancheng had saved with great difficulty, and as the bottomless pit of Jishi City began to devour the silver money, Gao Yuan even took out the old book buried in Curie PassIt must not be done with it. Now, I see that this old book is going to be used up.

"General Langya and his entourage, they have gained a lot!" Cao Tiancheng laughed, "The general is really amazing, it goes without saying that this is a way to lead troops to fight, this means of making money, but it is also croaking, Sun Xiao, to tell you the truth, Ding Wei just came back two days ago, and he brought back a million taels of silver tickets. It was the general who knocked it from Ning Zecheng, Zhou Yuan, and the county lord of Tianhe County, Ji Wugui."

Sun Xiao's mouth opened wide suddenly, "Aren't Ning Zecheng and Zhou Yuan our opponents, how can we still let the general knock out the money?"

"That's the general's method!" Jiang Jiaquan twisted his beard and smiled, "Sun Xiao, this political matter is twisted and turned, and it is difficult to clarify it with you for a while, you don't care, just focus on building the stone city well, this time the general knocked not only silver money, but also tens of thousands of pairs of iron armor and heavy armor!"
