General Zhang paused, and then slowly said this.

"In the past ten days, only 200 people have signed up."

"Two hundred!"

Hearing this number, even though General Zhang had explained it before, Truman still didn't believe it.

"It's 200 people from our Yangzhou County? Or do you add two hundred people from nearby counties? ”

Truman asked with a glimmer of hope.

General Zhang shook his head.

"I don't know why, they kicked us out before we could talk to the neighboring counties, as if they knew we were going to recruit soldiers."

Truman pondered for a moment, "Well, this point is worth investigating. ”

Suddenly remembering something, Truman asked again: "By the way, did this incident happen after Yueyue was exposed?" ”

"Yueyue?"

"The woman above Madame's marriage!"

General Zhang nodded, and said suddenly: "When my lord said this, it's true." Could it be that our recruitment has something to do with Madame? ”

Truman smiled and shook his head.

"Relationship? There is no with Mrs., but there is with Yueyue, when Her Royal Highness the eldest princess came down a few years ago, did you notice the maid beside her. ”

"Excuse me?"

"That's right, that maid is Yueyue, about the relationship between Yueyue and recruitment, it's inconvenient to tell you now, you will know later."

Truman paused, and said again: "By the way, General Zhang, please write down the names of the counties that drove you out and give me a copy, and in the future, they will be in trouble." ”

General Zhang nodded.

"My lord, can this recruitment continue?"

"Go on, and go up a little more." Chumen looked at Wang Hongru again and said, "Master Wang, you should be able to come up with a little money, right?" ”

Wang Hongru shook his head, "My lord, I'm afraid it won't work, the yamen didn't have much money left last year, and with this year's situation, I'm afraid that there will be a big flood and drought, and this money must be spent on the people to prepare for what may happen this year." ”

Truman nodded.

"Well, things about people's livelihood should indeed be prepared."

Truman stepped out of his seat and walked back and forth in the lobby.

"General Zhang, do what I just said, and I'll solve the problem of money."

"Yes."

"Okay, if there's nothing to do, let's disperse, Li Zhutou, you wait a minute."

Li Fansheng stopped and looked back at Trumen in confusion.

"My lord, I don't know what else is going on."

Truman coughed lightly.

"That, is Li Lianyi okay?"

Hearing Truman ask about his sister, Li Fansheng was stunned at first, and then laughed secretly.

"My lord, although I am her brother, how can I know her emotions, so this, it's better for adults to ask on their own, after all, if you don't talk about some things, it's not good for both of you."

Truman paused, and then nodded after a long time.

"Okay, you can get out of here."

Li Fansheng arched his hand, "Good luck to adults." ”

With that, he chuckled and left the lobby.

Looking at the back of the former, and scolding angrily, Truman re-did it in the chair.

......

Truman does have some money at the moment.

There were several large boxes of jewelry, gold, silver, silk and other things taken out from Silong Pavilion, and it was estimated that there were no less than 100,000 taels of silver.

But the money is also used for other purposes.

When soldiers come, food, weapons and armor are indispensable.

That's where the money goes.

And armor and food are undoubtedly prepared faster than recruitment.

Otherwise, if you recruit soldiers, you won't be able to raise them.

Of course, in the current situation, these 100,000 taels are still enough.

But thinking of Luo Fei's wealth, Truman felt uncomfortable.

Luo Fei's money was a dowry, which was supposed to be Truman's, but it was given to Yun by Yueyue on the day she took dozens of black-clothed people to marry Luo Fei.

When he was needed to do something, he didn't send some people, and when he came to get money, more than a dozen people suddenly popped out.

Truman even wondered if His Majesty the Emperor did it on purpose.

After cursing secretly, Trumen walked out of the yamen and headed towards Yangzhou Bookstore.

With Truman's current martial arts, I'm afraid it will take some time to take him down in a few moments.

And these times, enough reinforcements have arrived, so Truman no longer needs to bring any guards.

......

In Yangzhou Bookstore, Zhu An is directing his subordinates to work again.

When he saw Truman, he immediately walked over quickly and said, "My lord." ”

Truman nodded, and after throwing him a follow-up to a book that had been written a long time ago, he asked, "How is the income this month?" ”

A smile appeared on Zhu An's face: "My lord, the development of Yangzhou Bookstore has been very good this month, and the net income is a full two thousand taels. ”

"Two thousand taels?" Truman frowned slightly!

Two thousand taels, after all, is still too little.

But even if it doesn't matter, he didn't expect the money he earned from the bookstore to solve this coal burning emergency.

After instructing Zhu An, Chumen went to the school to have a look, and then returned to the yamen.

......

The files of the Yamen were indeed reviewed by Wang Hongru.

But Truman still opened it and looked at it to avoid any omissions.

Time passed slowly, and it was already noon.

At this time, Truman finally finished reading the dossier.

Rubbing his hungry stomach again, Truman stood up, stretched his waist, and then prepared to walk towards the back kitchen.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the yamen, and a figure walked in.

It's Ji Zhuo.

Behind him, there was also a middle-aged man who Truman didn't know.

It could be seen that Ji Zhuo was very angry, and after his eyes stared at the middle-aged man viciously, he didn't look at it again.

Truman glanced at this middle-aged man a few more times, because this one was a strong man no less than the eighth rank.

Soon, the two of them were in the lobby.

"Uncle!"

Ji Zhuo shouted like this, and sat on the chair next to him angrily.

Truman said suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

The middle-aged man walked over directly, and he said, "Let me tell you!" ”

"You are?"

He arched his hand, "Mu Yuanshi meets Master Pony!" ”

Truman thought about it, but still didn't think of his name: "Mu Yuanshi? ”

"Oh!" Mu Yuanshi handed over a token, "The subordinates are the guards of the prince's mansion, this is my token." ”

Taking the sign, Truman looked at it and handed it back.

After smiling lightly, Chumen said: "It turned out to be Mu Guard, I don't know why I came to my Yangzhou County thousands of miles away?" ”

"Lord Yuma, His Royal Highness has been playing outside for a long time, although it is safe here in the horse, but the prince and the prince and his wife want to have a heart, so they sent their subordinates to bring them back."

"Oh, I see." Truman glanced at Ji Zhuo.

Looking at the former's angry appearance, he definitely didn't want to go back.
