"Hmph, it's a bastard! Shameless enough! Ye Fu frowned and scolded indignantly.

In fact, he had been mentally prepared for these remarks in his heart. After all, as a garrison, with the addition of the Sanyang Military Fort below, a total of twelve military forts belong to his command. He was in Sanyang to organize the army and run the military, and the hardships that the officers and soldiers of Sanyang endured, others have not seen or experienced it, and even if they heard about it, they only thought it was just an exaggeration. But the sweetness that the officers and soldiers of Sanyang got was passed on by word of mouth, and the more it was spread, the more evil it became.

Over time, dissatisfaction is an inevitable consequence. Even if there was a mutiny, it was not something unexpected.

It's just that there are so many rewards from the imperial court, and maintaining a military fort in Sanyang, Ye Fu already feels extremely difficult, and he often feels overstretched. In his heart, he didn't have much energy to care about the other military forts at this time.

Wang Zhi saw that Ye Fu was really angry, although he was also very disgusted with those people in his heart, he still had to comfort Ye Fu and said: "My lord, a little bit, it's not worth letting you get angry." The lower official drafts an official document, and the application is one or two. ”

"Nope." Ye Fu shook his head and said, "At this time, Shen Yu can only play a counterproductive role. Shelving, naturally, will not work. Wang experience, you may not see far enough. On this paper, of course, it is just a few thousand generals and generals who complain about themselves, but behind the paper, there is the dissatisfaction of the remaining eleven officers and soldiers of the military fort under Sanyang. If this kind of dissatisfaction is allowed to swell, or even suppressed excessively, in the end, when it condenses to a critical point, what will happen is beyond your control. So, suppression is not a good way. ”

Wang Zhi naturally knew that suppression was not a good way, but looking at the current predicament in Sanyang, he couldn't pay so much military salary no matter what.

You must know that the 12 military forts under the jurisdiction of the entire Sanyang garrison have more than 3,500 officers and soldiers. Even if one person gave five coins of silver, it would be more than 1,500 taels of snowflake silver. In addition, people eat horses and chew, replenish cotton armor, repair weapons, and rectify military affairs, and it is all untold silver flowing out.

Wang Zhi knew that today's Ye Fu was far from being as beautiful in the eyes of the soldiers of Sanyang. In fact, his pockets were about to be emptied. There is still a short time before the beginning of spring, and if you can't get the military funds from the imperial court on time, I'm afraid that the situation in Sanyang at this time will be unsustainable.

He sighed and said to Ye Fu, "My lord, Xia Guan knows that your lord is in a difficult situation. Concealing the situation is just not like you being distracted by it. You are an aspiring person, and the location of the town of Sanyang is particularly important. There can be no king here, but there can be no adults. It was the lower official who pressed the official document, and the lower official never told you the truth, and you didn't know why there was such a grievance below. Therefore, if it really gets out of control, the subordinate officers are willing to bear all the blame and let the officers and soldiers below vent their anger......"

"Confused!" Ye Fu finally figured out Wang Zhi's crazy thoughts, immediately got up, and reprimanded him, "What do you think I, Ye Fu, are!" The villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death can't do it! Sanyang is indeed facing difficulties now, but it is not impossible to overcome. There is still a way! Even if I, Ye Fu, don't even lose my pockets, I won't be able to keep a strategist! Do you want to fill the mouths of the army? Do you want to calm the grievances below? If you really come to that point, not to mention that you can't block it with your life. Even if I can block it, do you think I can really make such a decision? When the time comes, I would rather die on the city wall of Sanyang than fill it with you! ”

Wang Zhi lowered his head, and reason told him that there was no one who could not be sacrificed, especially at this time. But Ye Fu obviously refused to listen to persuasion. He was a little helpless, and wanted to explain to Ye Fu that this was not a good time to be a hero, but thinking that he was actually a hero, he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Ye Fu glared at Wang Zhi for a long time, and suddenly heard a knock on the door behind him.

He turned his head sharply to look, Wang Xing, who had just entered the door, was so frightened that his legs were weak and he almost knelt down.

"Big ...... The adult ...... "Wang Xing wanted to withdraw, but his feet seemed to be glued, and he couldn't move a step."

Ye Fu frowned and beckoned to him.

Wang Xing hurriedly ran over and said with a flattering face: "My lord, what do you command?" ”

Ye Fu glanced at Wang Zhi and said to Wang Xing: "You go and tell Jin Zongqi and ask him to send someone to help me pass the order." Tell him to summon all the officers above the general level of the military fort under Sanyang to the military fort of Sanyang for a meeting. No one may be late for any reason, even if they do not arrive at the time after tomorrow. Those who fail to do so will be dealt with strictly in accordance with military law. By the way, I already know their demands, and the meeting is to solve their problems! ”

Wang Zhi didn't have time to stop him, Wang Xing had already been ordered to run out.

Seeing Ye Fu turn around, Wang Zhi sighed and said, "My lord, why do you have to fight for this moment? If they do come, where will the money and food you promised come from? ”

"I promise? What did I promise? The corners of Ye Fu's mouth were slightly raised, and he chuckled, "I didn't promise anything!" I said I knew what they were asking for and wanted to solve their problems. I didn't say that it was solved by giving money and food. ”

"How do you solve that?" Wang Zhi exclaimed, "My lord, you can't do this kind of thing just to understand the momentary anger!" Once they feel that they have been deceived, then when the time comes, it will be a big trouble! ”

"No, it won't!" Ye Fu said categorically, "I can't pay them food directly, but I can calm their emotions." Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it later. Do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing! What's more, with them in their respective military forts, there are many things that I really don't want to do. ”

With Wang Zhi's understanding of Ye Fu, this thousand-level garrison officer who has experienced the tempering of the war should be regarded as an extremely bold guy. Now he is paying salaries and purchasing equipment for the Sanyang Military Fort, just like how much money he has and how much money he pays. Regardless of whether you have to eat tomorrow or not, in short, there is still today, so you must eat with an open stomach, and never let yourself be wronged for half a day.

But how long can such a swollen face be filled with a fat man? Nobody knows.

Wang Zhi was worried about this, but Ye Fu, as the military commander, had already decided that he would not have any other good way than to obey.

~~

Ye Fu's orders were issued, and they were successively transmitted to the military forts under the garrison of Sanyang, and the reactions received were successively transmitted back to the fort.

Under Ye Fu's obviously lowered posture, he basically felt that Ye Fu was going to be soft.

They had long heard that Ye Fu had a large amount of silver in his hand, and the Yang Military Fort had already tasted the sweetness first. And they may be able to get a piece of the pie soon.

Driven by such emotions, the vast majority of the general managers and generals were busy delivering errands and rushed to the Sanyang Military Fort for a meeting. Ma Denglong, the commander of the Xindian Army Fort, which was relatively close, was the fastest to come, and he only brought two personal soldiers with him, and when he entered the fort city, it was just in time for dinner.

Smoke curled from the inside of the fort, and the smell of the stove wafted everywhere. Let the hard work, Ma Denglong, who was already a little hungry, and his own soldiers swallowed their saliva.

The Liaodong soldiers of this era were good to be able to eat two meals a day. Three meals a day, there is no such good treatment at all. What's more, when this smell smells, it is by no means as simple as ordinary dry cakes soaked in water.

The soldiers who led them into the city did not take them to the garrison office, but took them to the school grounds of the expanded Sanyang Military Fort. Passing through the soldiers who were scattered in small groups, the soldier brought Ma Denglong to a pot.

He reported to the officer sitting on the ground with his back to them: "My lord, the commander of the new army fort has arrived. ”

Ma Denglong immediately understood that this person must be Ye Fu, and he didn't wait for anyone to turn his head, so he knelt on one knee and saluted: "The lowly Xindian Army Fort will try the rank of a hundred households to meet the garrison lord." ”

Ye Fu turned around, smiled at him, waved his hand holding the chopsticks, and said to him, "Get up." ”

Ma Denglong stood up following Ye Fu's words.

Ye Fu twisted his body with the bowl and said to him: "Mr. Ma, you came so fast, you must have not eaten yet, right?" King Xing! Take the horse and always go there to eat. ”

Wang Xing immediately agreed, "Yes, Mr. Ma, please come with me." ”

Ma Denglong didn't know why, but he still agreed. Before leaving, he deliberately glanced at the pot in front of Ye Fu.

It's a very simple stew, and there are only cabbage and potatoes in the pot. The portion is generous, but it won't be delicious. As for the staple food, Ye Fu's bowl is soaked in a mess, and it is estimated that it is a common Zhengliao cake, which is eaten with soup.

Ma Denglong was a little puzzled, could it be that he was a dignified boss, and he didn't even deserve to eat such food?

Thinking in my heart, I couldn't help but feel dissatisfied again. At this time, the wind in Liaodong is still very strong, and he obviously smells the smell of meat! If you don't have meat to eat, don't you even want to give you a mouthful of hot soup? This guard is really picky. Thinking so much in his heart, he couldn't help but remember that he came this time to ask for military salaries. Looking at it this way, I'm afraid it's really an empty joy.

In addition to being in front of people who are more afraid, Wang Xing can actually be regarded as a more talkative person. He saw that Ma Denglong was frowning and pondering his thoughts, and he refused to speak, so he tried to tease him to say a few more words. Pretending to sigh with emotion, he said to him: "Mr. Ma, you are really a good life!" I run around with the adults every day, smelling the smell of this first-class stove, but I have never eaten it! ”

"What? What do you mean? Ma Denglong listened to it and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Wang Xing said with a smile: "Our adults govern the army, and we implement a system of rewarding the good and punishing the bad. There are many ways to eat this alone. The hundreds of officers and soldiers in the city are divided into three classes. ”

Ma Denglong calculated, first-class stove, that should be the best?

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the pot of cabbage and potatoes that Ye Fu was eating at that time.

Wang Xing didn't know what Ma Denglong was thinking, so he only said to himself: The kind that our adults ate just now is the B stove. Look around here, ordinary officers and soldiers eat all kinds of stoves. This is a hot soup and hot dish, and the staple food is Zhengliao cake. The propylene stove is a pot of boiling water with Zhengliao cakes. You are really blessed, my lord specially instructed you to take you to eat a kind of stove. ”
