Chapter 252: Silver
With no soldiers available, the Wolf had to go to the camp of the condemned prisoners to find the tigers and leopards who were waiting to be beheaded, and the soldiers of the Tigers and Leopards thought that the Wolves had come to execute them.
After everyone finished arranging, the Sky Shepherd counted some, probably more than five hundred. The shepherd wolf was very satisfied, and felt that having these people was almost enough, after all, his goal was not to kill all the ringing horses, but to bring more soldiers, but to be a burden.
The Sky Shepherd Wolf said to the king: "Their armor and weapons are all there, right?" ”
Wang Tong replied: "Yes, Han Ponu armed them quite well, the weapons and armor are much better than ordinary soldiers, and they are one person and one horse, and some even one person and two horses." ”
Shepherd Wolf said: "Give them some food in the past two days, I will take these people away." After speaking, the shepherd wolf gave Wang Tong a few silver tickets, which were regarded as additional meals for the tiger and leopard to ride.
Then, the shepherd wolf said to the middle-aged man, "What's your name?" What is the official position? ”
The man said: "Hehe, the dying person, do you still want to give a name?" I am a leader of the Tiger and Par Riders, named Deng Ming! ”
The shepherd wolf said: "Deng Ming, I will come to announce your fate in two days, and enjoy your few moments first." After saying that, the shepherd wolf left, he thought it was feasible, so he planned to go to the emperor to ask for someone.
Before leaving, the shepherd wolf instructed Yulin and Kang Jiulong to let them go and see the price of grain in the capital, after all, without grain and grass, there was no way to march and fight.
When the shepherd wolf entered the palace, he happened to meet Yu Ziqiu out of the palace, and Yu Ziqiu saw the oncoming herding wolf from afar, and he said proudly: "General Mu, I heard that you are short of food and grass now?" Hahaha, I can show you the way, I wonder if General Mu is interested? ”
But the shepherd wolf ignored him and went directly to the palace to face the saint. Yu Ziqiu said indignantly: "Hmph, Shepherd Wolf, you don't want to buy a grain in the capital!" ”
"The last general shepherd wolf to see Your Majesty!" When the shepherd wolf came to Xingqing Palace, the emperor was with Mo Xingshan, who had disappeared for a while, and Qianniuwei had disappeared since the prince's case, probably to thoroughly investigate the ministers who secretly colluded with the prince and had different intentions. After all, Qianniuwei's duty is to seal up and raid the house, and from time to time there will be an unjust, false and wrongful case or something......
When the Son of Heaven Longxing saw that Mu Tian Wolf was coming, he knew that the advisor said, "General Mu wants to see me, I don't know what is going on?" ”
The shepherd wolf said: "The last general wants to ask His Majesty for a few irrelevant people, and I hope that Your Majesty will approve it." Long Xing said: "Oh? I heard that General Mu gave all his headhunters to General Che Cai, why did he come to me to beg for help now? ”
Mu Tian Wolf said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the reason why the last general sent his headhunters to go to the Northern Expedition with General Geshu is because when he went to Mobei to rescue the three princes before, he made some arrangements on the border of Yan and inserted a few nails, hoping to help General Geshu." ”
Long Xing said: "In this way, General Mu is really strategizing and winning thousands of miles away!" General Mu has worked so hard for the great cause of the empire, if I don't allow your request, I'm afraid it will be a little unkind, I don't know who General Mu wants? ”
Shepherd Wolf said: "In the camp of the death row prisoners, there are tigers and leopards under the command of the former general Han Ponu, and the last general has already visited it, a total of more than five hundred and twenty people, and the last general is now unavailable, and these more than five hundred people are just useless people who are slaughtered, so the last general hopes that His Majesty can hand over these people to the last general to dispose of!" ”
Long Xing said: "This ...... I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the etiquette law, right? They are all death row prisoners that I have ordered to be killed! ”
Mu Tian Wolf said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, let them follow the last general to Jizhou and Bingzhou to suppress bandits, in fact, it is just a change of direction to execute them, and they can also give full play to the residual heat on their bodies, which is beneficial to the empire and harmless." ”
Long Xing said: "In this case, then you can take these people away, but I really don't have the extra grain and grass to distribute to you now, and you also know that the empire is now surrounded by enemies, and I can't do it......"
The shepherd wolf said secretly: Is this guy really a hair-wrench? I'm also fighting for your Long Clan's world, do you want me to pay out of my own pocket?
Long Xing said secretly: I won't give you any money and food, you little slippery head, you have cheated me millions of taels of silver, that is not the silver of the treasury, it is the silver that should have gone into my private treasury!
The shepherd wolf was helpless, so he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the grain and grass will be able to raise it by yourself, but the general will have another request, I hope Your Majesty will grant it." The Son of Heaven Long Xing thought about it, as long as he didn't cry to me for money, the rest was easy to say, so he said: "General Mu, please speak, I will do my best." ”
The shepherd wolf said: "The last general wants the right to recruit troops on his own, after all, these five hundred people are too few, and it is really unsatisfactory to exterminate the bandits in the two states." ”
Long Xing said: "I don't know how many places General Mu wants?" Mutian Wolf said: "The art of war is cloudy, there are not many soldiers, but in the fine, and a thousand places are enough." In this way, the last general will be able to fight with war, and it should be no problem to eliminate bandits. ”
Long Xing said: "I can promise you, but the premise is that these soldiers and horses must belong to the military of my Tianlong Kingdom, and they are no longer mercenaries. ”
The Sky Wolf felt a little embarrassed, he originally wanted to recruit all the available Green Forest heroes under his command, but once he had to enter the military membership of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, I am afraid that many Green Forest people would be reluctant, after all, few people who joined the Green Forest were willing to be restrained......
Long Xing continued: "The empire has now integrated the six countries, its strength is unprecedented, everything is developing on the right track, I don't want to see any more extralegal troops!" The general said that when the empire is under control, I will issue a ban on martial arts, but anyone who is unwilling to submit to the empire will be swept away by the empire's army! ”
The shepherd wolf had no choice but to say: "The last general obeys!" ”
Long Xing saw that Mu Tian Wolf agreed, and he no longer had a straight face, but said with a smile: "If General Mu has made meritorious contributions to suppressing bandits this time, I will allow you to open a mansion independently, and when the time comes, these soldiers and horses will naturally be at your disposal, and I will not plunder your achievements." ”
The shepherd wolf said: "The last general has thanked His Majesty for his trust, and the last general will retire!" ”
To be honest, if the Son of Heaven could allow himself to open a government independently, it would not matter if these soldiers and horses could enter the military membership of the Tianlong Kingdom. What the shepherd wolf is most afraid of is that the soldiers and horses brought out by himself are transferred to other generals, so isn't it a chicken and egg fight, and nothing is left behind!
But generally speaking, the independent opening of the mansion can only be qualified by the first and second grades, and the shepherd wolf is now just a Pingbei general of the fourth grade, and the opening of the mansion is a bit far-fetched......
After Mu Tian Wolf left, Mo Xingshan said: "Your Majesty, if General Mu is allowed to open the mansion independently now, I am afraid that it will attract the attack of hundreds of officials......
The Son of Heaven said, "Didn't I say it? Wait for him to have a meritorious job in suppressing bandits, don't worry. And wouldn't it be nice to let him stand on the opposite side of the hundred officials? I like to see him being attacked by hundreds of officials, so that no one will attack me, don't I? ”
Mo Xingshan felt that it was not only his misfortune for the shepherd wolf to meet such a heavenly son as Long Xing, but also his great luck......
When the shepherd wolf returned to the general's mansion, Yulin and the others also returned, and as soon as they entered the door, Yulin said: "Things don't seem to be simple, there seems to be a force in the capital that is secretly buying grain and grass, and it doesn't matter what the price of grain is, but if there is anything to sell, it will be swept away......"
The shepherd wolf remembered the Yu Ziqiu he met when he entered the palace, and the words that Yu Ziqiu said triumphantly, it couldn't be that this guy was making trouble in secret, right?
Shepherd Wolf said: "I hope the person behind this is not Yu Ziqiu, otherwise I will let him lose all his money!" Yulin said, "Oh? The general thinks it's the unlucky guy behind this? Mu Tianwolf said: "Whether it is him or not, let's go to the money village to see." ”
So, while it was not yet dark, Mu Tianwolf and Yulin and Kang Jiulong came to Fenghui Qianzhuang, the big boss of Fenghui Qianzhuang was surnamed Shen, which can be said to be the leading wealthy businessman in the region, and Boss Shen was not in the capital on weekdays, but in the eastern capital, because Donglincheng was the hub of the Grand Canal, which was more conducive to making a fortune.
But now it's the end of the year, so Boss Shen happens to be in the capital.
The shepherd wolf came to the gate of Fenghui Qianzhuang, the doorman knew the dress of the shepherd, so he immediately went in to pass the ceremony, Boss Shen was originally handed over to the steward to take care of, but when he heard that it was the shepherd wolf, he couldn't sit still, and he came out to greet him personally.
No way, even if you are the richest man, you still have no status in this world where businessmen are the lightest......
As soon as Boss Shen saw the shepherd wolf at the door, he hurriedly said: "Oh, General Mu, look up for a long time!" The old man has long heard that General Mu is a young man and heroic, and now he is even more happy and has become a county horse, congratulations! You people who don't have long eyes, when General Mu comes, you will be invited in directly, how can you let General Mu wait outside the door? ”
At a glance, this businessman is different, he has a face in his work, and he greets each other with a smile, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze. Mu Tianwolf said: "Boss Shen is serious, Mu someone came this time, just because there was a sum of silver handed over to Guizhuang for safekeeping, and now he is a little urgent and wants to take it out." ”
When Boss Shen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and saved money to withdraw money, which couldn't be better...... But the steward secretly said on the side: "Master, this ...... This general has never deposited any money in our village! Every account is small and remembers it clearly, if he has saved silver, how can the small one not have the slightest impression......"
Boss Shen was relieved just now, and suddenly brought it back, this ...... This shepherd wolf isn't here to blackmail, is he?
Boss Shen trembled and said, "General Mu, I don't know how much money you have saved in the village?" "Boss Shen thinks that if the amount of Mutian Wolf said is small, he will be considered to be ruined, anyway, he can still take out a little money, he is not willing to offend Mutian Wolf for money......
However, Mu Tianwolf said a huge number, "Boss Shen, a total of eight million taels of silver." ”
Boss Shen's forehead sweat came down, this ...... More than eight million taels of silver, even if he is the richest man, it is impossible to treat it as a drizzle, and throw it away......
Boss Shen had no choice but to say, "This ...... With so much silver, I wonder if General Mu has a certificate when he stored the silver? Boss Shen also asked tentatively, he was afraid that the shepherd wolf would tell him what the certificate was lost, wouldn't that be a clear robbery?
Mu Tianluo also saw Boss Shen's concerns, after all, the silver was all stored by Yulin, and it had nothing to do with him. Mu Tianwolf said: "Didn't Boss Shen think that Mu someone is here to blackmail you?" Yulin, take out the voucher. ”
Yulin took out the voucher and said to the steward behind Boss Shen: "Lord steward, do you remember Zhang?" The steward then understood, and hurriedly said: "Oh, it turned out to be Zhang Gongzi, the little one didn't know that Zhang Gongzi was a master under General Mu, so he made such an oolong, the little one is really clumsy, damn it!" ”
Boss Shen finally relieved himself and said, "Then don't stay at the door, hurry, please come in the house!" ”
