"This is a letter from Wang Renzi, it was just sent to Wuzhou two hours ago, you can take a look."

Fan Zhongyun picked up a letter from the table and handed it to Li Xun.

Li Xun took the letter and looked at it.

Zhao Zhimi believed in Wang Renzizi and ordered him to collect grain, at least 500,000 denier of grain within a month.

Li Xun put down the letter and sighed: "In a month, I can't get 500,000 denier of grain, I'm afraid Wang Renzizi can't do it." ”

Fan Zhongyun said: "So, he asked you to figure out a way." ”

Li Xun rolled his eyes: "What can I do?" What does the emperor have to do with what he has to do with me, I don't want to shed this troubled water. ”

"You have been doing this and that recently, and you have made a lot of benefits, Wang Renzizi is now poor and white, who do you not expect to count on?"

Fan Zhongyun said lightly: "Moreover, this letter, I'm afraid it is also the emperor's intention, your current position, it is more convenient to get money." ”

Li Xun was puzzled: "Since the emperor meant, why didn't he send a letter to me directly?" ”

Fan Zhongyun smiled: "Press the matter directly on your head, if you don't do it well, who will bear this responsibility?" The emperor is very good to you. ”

Li Xun nodded, and after thinking about it, what Fan Zhongyun said was also reasonable, Zhao Zhi did this to protect himself.

After pondering for a moment, Li Xun waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about these things first, I will go to Suzhou in two days and talk to Wang Renzi." ”

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door, and Li Xun shouted in.

The door was pushed open, and Zhao Wei and Shan Qiu walked in.

"Why are you two here now?"

Li Xun asked the two of them to sit down and asked with a smile.

Li Xun's generals did not live in the Governor's Mansion, but they also lived very close.

Wu'an City now has about 11,000 soldiers, Li Xun divided it into three parts, the most elite 3,000 cavalry, led by Zhao Wei, stationed 20 miles outside the city, the 8,000 soldiers in the city, Shan Qiu and Shan Qiu each led half, Shan Qiu was responsible for the city defense, Zheng Chun was responsible for the security of the city.

Shan Qiu said: "I just finished eating, I came to see you." ”

Both of them were red-faced, smelled of alcohol, and had apparently drunk alcohol at night.

Li Xun smiled: "What's the matter, just after paying you military salaries, you are happy to live?" ”

Zhao Wei said with a smile: "I have been holding back for several months, and I have money in my hand, so I naturally want to satisfy my hunger." ”

Shan Qiu said with some dissatisfaction: "One meal ate half of my military salary, and you still laughed?" ”

Zhao Wei laughed: "I said I'll give it, you have to rush to settle the bill, you are self-inflicted, you can't blame me." ”

Li Xun got 300,000 taels of silver from Cheng Leopard, but he didn't keep a penny, and even if it was distributed to the officers and soldiers in the army, with the payment of military salaries, the soldiers accumulated dissatisfaction for a long time, and finally it was completely resolved.

In fact, Zhao Wei said this, there is a lot of joke element, Shan Qiu has been a general for so many years, and he has no money in his hands, that is his own reason, he loves soldiers like children, and never withholds the slightest bit from the soldiers in the army, but often funds others, so he has no money, and Zheng Chun is also very poor, that is because, after his father-in-law and wife were killed, in order to take revenge, Zheng Chun scattered all his family wealth and won over his subordinates, so he also had no money.

But Zhao Wei is different, whether he used to have money or not, Li Xun doesn't know, but as a general, whether it is out of sincerity or helplessness, Zhao Zhi gave the official in order to set an example with him, and also rewarded a lot of money and land, so in the recent difficult times, Shan Qiu and Zheng Chun have lived a little poorly, several people eat together, and most of the time, almost Zhao Wei invites guests to pay money.

Li Xun looked at the two of them with a smile, and did not interject, after the two wars of Suzhou bandits and Wuzhou riots, the few generals he brought were already very harmonious, everyone is a capable person, and their personalities are also good, and the relationship is getting closer and closer, which is also a matter of common sense.

Shan Qiu shook his head, ignored Zhao Wei, looked at Li Xun, and said, "Li Xun, my wife just sent a letter saying that someone in your house sent her money, what does this mean?" ”

Li Xun said: "I asked someone to send it." ”

Shan Qiu clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Li Xun, what do you mean by this?" I asked myself, why do you insult me, I have not been slow to treat you? ”

Li Xun said: "Brother Shan, don't be so sensitive, you followed me Li Xun to Wuzhou, you can't take care of your family, I naturally have to pay more attention, some time ago, Liu Xie wrote a letter, saying that his sister-in-law and wife are not in good health, but she still has to go out to work every day, how can I Li Xun ignore this matter?" Not much money, just two hundred taels. ”

Shan Qiu was about to speak, Li Xun waved his hand and said first: "Didn't I give you this money?" What are you anxious about? Even if you borrow me, when you have money, you will pay me back. ”

Shan Qiu opened his mouth, finally sighed, and said nothing.

How could a single feud not know about his wife's situation? He is very strict with his family wind management, no matter who sends money or gifts, he is not allowed to accept it, and his wife has now accepted Li Xun's money, I am afraid that the situation at home is really bad, otherwise she would not be like this.

Li Xun glanced at Shan Qiu, and also shook his head, Shan Qiu's family background is actually not bad, his great-grandfather was an official to one side, his grandfather and father also achieved the position of general, and the family background is still very good, but unfortunately, Shan Qiu's father is the kind of person who regards money as dung and has a strong chivalrous style, no matter who opens his mouth, he will never refuse, there must be a father and his son, Shan Qiu is also such a character, and the savings saved in the early years of the family have long been squandered.

Li Xun respects such people and practices very much, but he doesn't think he should follow suit, and he cultivates himself to rule the country and the world. Even if you can't manage yourself and your family, how can you talk about the world?

"Lord Governor, after the military salary is issued, the mood of the officers and soldiers in the army is very good, and this year's winter training is about to start preparations."

Zhao Wei saw that the atmosphere was a little quiet, so he smiled and diverted the topic.

Li Xun nodded and said with a smile: "This winter training, I am going to recruit some people, the number will not be many, mainly cavalry, you are the chief general of the cavalry, you are good at this aspect, you draw up a plan for me." ”

Expanding the cavalry ranks?

Although Zhao Wei was happy, he still said with some doubts: "We don't have extra war horses in our hands, recruiting cavalry, it's easy to manage, but how to solve this war horse?" ”

Fan Zhongyun said with a smile at this time: "Not now, it doesn't mean that there will be no in the future, prepare first, the supplement of the war horse, I am thinking of a way." ”

Zhao Wei nodded and said, "How many people are appropriate?" ”

Li Xun pondered for a moment and said, "Let's recruit three thousand people first." ”

The cavalry in his own hands is less than 4,000, and some are missing, so he should think of a way to replenish them, because there are not enough mobile troops, and the strategic deployment and plan are still a little constrained after all. 2k reading web
