"It's only 100,000 taels, that's not much, just get out of the tent." Dong De swallowed the last piece of pastry and wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked with some puzzlement,

Lu Yunzhi shook his head: "No, the heavenly account is only more than one million, Ah Rong should withdraw the money, and our brothers in the army should also give money once every six months, so there should be two or three hundred thousand, and they must be kept in case of sudden trouble, don't be caught off guard." ”

Dong De said again: "Then let's borrow 100,000 taels from the public account first, anyway, it's not much." Lu Yunzhi shook his head: "No, if you need money in the future, you can borrow it from the heavenly tent, don't touch the money of the imperial court, even if you pay it back immediately, I want to appoint a group of iron-faced judges in the next step to strictly investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, we have to set an example, but don't be investigated, that is to slap yourself." ”

"Fuck, what kind of people are they, the people we promoted, he still came to check on us." Dong De said with a little surprise, Ah Rong suddenly thought of someone, smiled and said, "How else to say that it is the iron-masked judge." ”

Lu Yunzhi thought for a while and said: "In this way, you can give me 20,000 taels from the heavenly account, which should be the most money that can be squeezed out, and then give me all the money from the mansion treasury, and I will figure out the rest by myself." ”

Dong De swallowed his saliva and said, "There is a sentence that the lord's subordinates don't know whether to say or not. ”

"What are you doing so restrainedly, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Lu Yunzhi opened his mouth and said, in fact, Lu Yunzhi had already guessed two or three percent before Dong De opened his mouth, just wanted them to ask, and then teach them well, so that it would play a role in explaining and warning, and they would not make their own decisions in the future and make a heinous mistake.

Dong Deluo pondered for a while and said: "The reason why we didn't have money at the beginning, and we needed to rely on the second master to maintain the organization and operation of the secret thirteen, the root cause is because we have too many personnel, and now the Li brothers spend not to mention for the time being, after all, they are all thieves and scoundrels, etc., and the 100,000 taels of silver that the Ah Rong brothers withdraw every month are all exchanged for more than ten taels or 100 taels of silver tickets, or directly ask for cash, I guess it in vain, the lord forgive me, According to my consideration, this money may also be used to recruit soldiers and horses or train internal lines, these lords are free to arrange, and we can afford it, but the biggest head is still put into the army brothers, because the number of people is a little too much money every month, we can afford it is really laborious, so at this moment, there are three points that can solve the problem, the upper policy is to cut off a part, the middle policy is to reduce their subsidies, and the next policy is to postpone the salary for a few months. ”

Lu Yunzhi nodded with a little appreciation, and then said: "Dong De, you look at the problem from the perspective of opening up sources and reducing expenditure, very good, Ah Rong, you don't have to hide it from Dong De today, now there are just three of us in the hall, you can tell me where the money you take away every month is used, and how do you think the money is used." ”

Ah Rong saw that Lu Yunzhi had praised Dong De, and he was no longer worried that he would be reprimanded for speaking rashly, so he said: "I am a slave, so I naturally understand the habits of slaves, I use this money to buy a large number of servants and maids, as a slave, I can't give too much profit, so everyone only has three or four taels of money per month or no more than ten taels at most, so that they can taste the sweetness, and then every time I report a valuable information, I will give them a few taels of silver, so Brother Dong, maybe 100,000 taels may not be enough in the future. However, as Brother Dong said, now the financial situation is stretched, and I think we have made it a little too large, and many people are not necessarily hired, I think that although 100,000 taels of silver is very small compared to the military funds, it is also a huge amount. ”

"No, I don't understand, what to do with a slave, is it possible that a few ladies quarrel, the lord wants to get another courtyard, or the lord is looking for a new love, and he wants to dig some maids who serve well, but even so, it won't take more than 100,000 yuan, twenty or thirty taels of silver, it is enough to buy a yellow flower girl to serve for a lifetime, and the lord can afford to eat 100,000 taels a month." Dong De laughed evilly,

Lu Yunzhi punched Dong De lightly, and scolded with a smile: "I don't have any right deeds to you, in fact, I am a servant who buys and arranges around various dignitaries, the so-called dignitaries are not only ministers in the court, but also rich people in the business world, masters of martial arts, etc., they may not be personal slaves, because such servants are generally loyal to their masters, but they are not miscellaneous servants who chop wood and cook, and miscellaneous servants can't listen to any secrets. Besides, some people are masters, once the hidden department is dispatched, it will inevitably alarm them, and it will be difficult to do it at that time, and although the Li brothers control the ninth stream and are relatively well-informed, but after all, the scope of influence is somewhat small, and now it seems that in this coup, we have obtained a lot of useful news through Ah Rong's servant army, including the eunuchs and palace maids who greeted each other in the palace at that time, half of them were Cao Jixiang's people, and the rest were instigated by Ah Rong. ”

Dong De nodded, about to understand, only to hear Lu Yunzhi continue: "Who is promoted and who gets rich is not something that I can control, and I have not taken everyone for my own use, so that they are willing to follow my charm, the only safe way is to plant eyeliner around them, so as to monitor and control, if anyone is prosperous in the future, we don't have to rush to collect intelligence, because his every move is under our control, so we can also get a lot of useful related information, And in this way, we can prevent the birth of the next Yu Qian, we will definitely kill one, and we will never let one go. ”

Dong De raised his own question: "But how can you guarantee that they have no different intentions, Ah Rong is an exception, he has known the lord early, followed the lord for many years, and has been taught and cultivated by the lord, but as far as I know, the average slave is extremely jealous, the dog looks down on people, is mercenary, and wants to make money, you give him ten taels of silver, as long as others are giving him fifteen taels, he can betray the person who gave him ten taels in front of him, I have used it many times in the mall, and it has been tried and tested, so according to me, these slaves are unreliable, Besides, as the saying goes, if some officials are prosperous, those slaves may not be willing to obey you, they still have no ability to understand current affairs, and those handmaidens are even more unreliable. Speaking of Lord Ah Rong, Dong De deliberately used a slightly joking tone, Ah Rong smiled, a little embarrassed,
