Chapter 66
When Meng Quan heard Mo Chen say that, his serious face suddenly changed, he looked around, revealing a wicked expression, and said with a smile: "Brother Mo! You don't know, when I saw the armor given to Wang Tao by the general, Wang Tao's aura! It makes me so envious, I have been thinking about how to take it from Wang Tao's hand, of course, I am a soldier, and this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to be done by sneaking and abducting, so I often invite him to drink wine and eat meat, but this guy refuses to send me no matter what I say, and makes me angry! As soon as the arrows rained down just now, I knew that my chance had come, no, isn't it strange that this guy who slammed the door gave me the armor? ”
After Meng Gang finished speaking, his face was full of regret, and he said: "It's a pity, there is also a long knife, which is made of fine iron, I have seen which long knife the general used at that time to split a bronze sword in two, which is really sharp!" But that guy was my feet before he agreed to give me the armor, and the iron long knife didn't give it to me yet, so I'll find a chance to get it later. ”
Mo Chen was speechless for a while, this guy is also enough, he has already cushioned other people's things, and he has never given up, now that he has the armor in his hands, he actually wants to get the knife in his hands, he is insatiable! I don't know if Wang Tao knows that Meng Quan is still worried about whether his remaining iron long knife will come to the fat tiger to fight hard.
"Okay, several, I'm going to go back to the general, and I'll talk when I have time." Silent Dust.
"Well, let's go in! The general was inside, but the general drank a little wine, as if drunk. Ye Tiandao.
Mo Chen didn't wait for the general's personal soldiers to tell him, and went in directly, of course, the fat tiger and they also carried boxes of wooden boxes in.
When Mo Chen entered, there were already more than a dozen large wooden boxes in one place in the big tent, which took up one-fifth of the big tent. Mo Chen knew that those were brought by Meng Gong and a few of them.
At this time, Zhao Yi was sitting at the table, looking at him, there was a drunk, Mo Chen secretly complained, he felt that Ye Nan coaxed him, and bowed and said: "The subordinates meet the general, live up to the general's expectations, the Eagle Village has been successfully exterminated by the subordinates and others, our team killed fifty enemies, and obtained three boxes of silver and six boxes of coins." ”
Mo Chen motioned to Fat Tiger to put the box aside, opened the box, and immediately revealed white silver.
Zhao Yi glanced at the silver, smiled and took Mo Chen's hand, pulled Mo Chen aside and said, "Mo Chen! It's been a hard trip, and this time it's really thanks to you! ”
Mo Chen immediately arched his hand when he heard this: "Being able to serve the general is the service of his subordinates, and being able to destroy bandits and kill thieves is the responsibility of soldiers, and this is what his subordinates should do." ”
"Silent dust! No need to be polite, come and sit. Zhao Yi pulled Mo Chen to a table, pressed Mo Chen to sit down, and he also walked to Mo Chen and sat down. Pick up a bottle of wine from the ground, pour a bowl for Mo Chen, and pour a bowl for yourself.
"Come, drink." Zhao Yi handed the wine bowl to Mo Chen's side and said.
"Thank you, General." Mo Chen thanked him, but he didn't pick up the wine bowl and drink.
Mo Chen looked at the boss in front of him, he didn't know what kind of medicine this guy bought, although he had a share in destroying the Eagle Village, but it was not worth Zhao Yi's treatment.
Zhao Yi didn't care whether Mochen drank it or not, he drank it on the side, and he drank a few bowls in a row, I don't know if he was a little drunk, and he talked a lot.
"Silent dust! I don't know if you think the system of our army is very strange! It's different from other armies, huh? Zhao Yi drank a bowl of wine and said.
"Yes, there are a lot fewer official positions, as if everything is simple." Mo Chen said, although Mo Chen didn't know what the other armies were like, he also felt that the physique here was really very simple! It's really everything from Jane, the general is the captain when he comes down, and then it's gone, isn't that Jane! However, he heard that it was the general's laziness that led to this result, because these were all prescribed by the general.
Zhao Yi poured himself another bowl of wine and said, "Yes! It's all simple, you've probably heard them say it's because of my lazy management, right? ”
Mo Chen didn't answer, because he knew that Zhao Yi still had something to say, but he said in his heart: "Isn't it?" ”
Zhao Yi took another sip of wine and said with a wry smile: "Mo Chen! Actually, you don't know, general, I'm bitter in my heart! I was originally the general of Daijun, but because I offended the big guys, I was sent out of Daijun and set up this army dedicated to suppressing bandits, and since then I have been the head of this army, and the superiors will send me there if they need me to go there to suppress bandits. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to be on your own? From now on, no one will discipline the general. Mo Chen said.
"Good! No one cares about it from now on, no one really cares about it, Daijun is the royal brother of the king today, and the king is very wary of his royal brother! I am from Daijun, and I was driven out of Daijun, and now the king does not think that I am his person, but thinks that I am from Daijun, and each county supplies its own soldiers, horses, grain, grass, and silver, and now both sides do not recognize us, and we are five roots of water. Zhao Yi smiled bitterly, his heart was full of grievances, the gods fought, and mortals suffered.
"If you don't give money and food, then why are we still running around to suppress bandits?" Mo Chen was puzzled, is this Zhao Yi's heart really that big? Do you not ask for anything in return, but serve the country loyally?
"Don't crack down on bandits? Oh, Silent Dust! You are still young, you don't understand, as long as I disobey the king's order and do not suppress the bandits, then we may have other soldiers destroy us in the next moment. And, if we don't suppress bandits, where does the ringing silver come from? Zhao Yi shook his head and said.
"Then did the general take out all the grain and grass and silver before us?" Mo Chen wondered, there are really such great people.
"How can I have so much money, it's all from the local government, let's help them suppress the bandits, they always mean something, right? Of course, this is only one of them, and the rest are obtained by killing the bandits, and I stipulate that the finances of the bandits captured on the battlefield belong to me, of course, a large number is not counted, and then the thieves' treasure troves are handed over, and these are used to give the soldiers the sound of silver and food! If you don't do this, the soldiers may not even have anything to eat. Zhao Yi said a little sadly.
Without waiting for Mo Chen to speak, Zhao Yi said to himself as if he was drunk: "You have also seen that we have an army, and there are 1,000 people when it is full, but look at it, not to mention horses, there is not even a donkey, and the grain is pulled by our own soldiers, and the soldiers push, it's not that I don't want to match them with these, but I don't have money!" ”
Zhao Yi continued: "Look at other people's troops, the general is the commander of the thousand, the commander of the thousand is the centurion, the centurion is the tenth captain of the hundred, and then the chief, the captain, you look at me again, I am the captain of your battalion, and you are directly below the soldiers, there are fewer positions, there is less room for soldiers to be promoted, and there is no standard for management, but I don't want to learn from others, it's just that I am poor!" So many positions, all of them are money! If I don't have any money, I can only withdraw it, and I'm really worried that one day when we really don't have money, what will we do with Brother 1000. ”
"This time we have seized so much money, enough for our military expenses! At least you don't have to worry about it for the next year or two. Mo Chen didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him like this, he didn't expect the pressure on Zhao Yi's body to be so great, and he didn't expect that their army was actually rootless.
Zhao Yi drank a few bowls in a row, his eyes were a little confused, and he muttered, "Yes!" Thanks to you! That's why you're a great hero! To tell you the truth, if you hadn't suddenly appeared and killed hundreds of mountain bandits, I would have ordered the withdrawal of the army, how could you get so much money! ”
Zhao Yi staggered to his feet, patted Mo Chen's shoulder, and said, "Mo Chen!" I'll tell you! I'm going to buy some weapons and armor, and you've seen the armor on Meng Gun's body! Now the army has appeared iron armor, and the defense power of iron armor is much better than bronze, but these are all money, and the army is restructured, so that soldiers have the opportunity to be promoted, but these are all money. ”
Mo Chen listened, although he knew that Zhao Yi said that there should be a purpose, but he was also secretly excited, with a position, then he fat tiger They don't have to be small soldiers all the time, how can capable people wronged them, but he still has some doubts, and said: "General, we have reformed the military system privately, and there will be no trouble in the court?"
”
Zhao Yi was already drunk, holding the wine jar in one hand, waving his big hand, and said loudly: "What can they say?" I single-handedly pulled up this army, the grain, grass and silver were all hard to find by Lao Tzu, they have not paid a penny or a single grain, we still have to fight for them to suppress bandits, why do they talk nonsense"
"That's what the general said." Mo Chen immediately echoed.
"It's just! If the system is reformed, then the money and food will not be enough, and the division of your two layers can be postponed, but you can rest assured, this money is still yours, this is your credit, even if I borrow from you, I will definitely return it to you at that time. Zhao Yi finally said his purpose, and he said so much for money!
Mo Chen also understood when he heard it, this Zhao Yi was complaining about poverty! This is to let him make a choice, in fact, this is no longer a choice, he immediately stood up, arched his hand and said: "The general is there, the general's hard work, how can I not support it, since the general is short of money, then I don't want the division of these two layers, all dedicated to the general." ”
Zhao Yi burped, walked back to the table and sat down, and said righteously, "How can this be done, how can I ask for the money that belongs to you!" I'm just borrowing it now, and when the army is ready, I'll naturally pay it back to you. ”
"General, this is a little bit of the heart of his subordinates, please don't refuse, everything is for our army, our brothers!" Mo Chen also said with a serious face, even if there was no Zhao Yi, he had planned to hand over all these things, so he didn't hesitate at all.
