Xiao Jue sat in the hall, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "What is the plan you said last time to make a fortune?" ”

"Bet."

Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Bet on your Zuo Xiao cavalry guard to win the sixteenth guard competition." ”

"Bet on the left Xiao cavalry?" Xiao Jue looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

Tang Ning nodded: "Bet on the left Xiao cavalry guard." ”

Xiao Jue looked at him for a long time, and saw that he was not joking, so he said: "Bet that they will be eliminated in the first game, according to the rules of previous years, unless they are lucky enough to draw the right Xiao cavalry guard, it is possible to win a game, this year you changed the rules, the left Xiao cavalry guard is in Group A, the right Xiao cavalry guard is in Group B, and there is no possibility of even winning a game......

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Don't be so depressed, everything is possible." ”

Sixteen guards are compared, each guard out a hundred people, to simulate the battlefield, the comparison is not the strength of individual soldiers, but the ability of teamwork, the command ability of generals, not a real knife and a real gun, no need to work hard, the technical content is not so high, but even so, it is not easy to counterattack from the penultimate to the positive number within two months.

Fortunately, Tang Ning still has Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao has an all-round master, the old beggar can make the beggar help the disciples invincible with a stick, teach them a few powerful formations, let them practice for two months, and it is not impossible to counterattack.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if they can't achieve the final victory, but playing in the group stage, reaching the semifinals, and the semifinals are enough for them to make a lot of money.

"What the hell do you have in mind?" Xiao Jue looked up at him and said, "Can you sit down and say, looking at you like this, my neck hurts." ”

"If your neck hurts, you stand up." Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "I've been sitting for too long today, and I don't want to sit now." ”

The reason why he didn't want to sit was naturally not because of this.

This is because he doesn't know people well, and he actually tries to think that Tang Goblin will be willing to gamble and lose, but he just let her learn three pig cries, is this too much?

Compared with some suspicious people who will take advantage of girls, he neither let her hug him, nor let her kiss him, let alone let her do anything......

Did he just let her learn to bark three times, and she would fall over the shoulder and ride on him?

Xiao Jue looked at him and asked tentatively, "You were beaten, Miss Tang did it?" ”

“……”

Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning's eyes with some envy, rubbed the bruises on his face, sighed and said: "Miss Tang is such a good girl, why don't you know how to cherish it, at least she doesn't slap her face......"

"No more nonsense!"

After being exposed, Tang Ning looked at him angrily and said: "This big competition, borrow the place of your Xiao Cavalry Guard, in addition, take me to you in the past two days to have a look, I want to see how Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard really is." ”

"It's no problem to go and see, but borrow our place, I have to go back and tell the general......" Xiao Jue stood up, walked outside, and said with a sigh: "A manly man, he was bullied by a woman, and he is also a fallen man at the end of the world......"

Borrowing the place of the Xiao cavalry guard as the arena, there is no problem, in previous years, the competition was also concentrated in the camp of a certain guard, and the military department undertook the sixteen guards competition, which still has some power.

Tang Ning thoroughly perfected the plan this time, and handed it over to Lu Ding early the next morning.

"Done?" Lu Ding looked at him and said, "Lord Tang is even faster than this official imagined." ”

Tang Ning reluctantly accepted Lu Ding's praise, but when he saw him look somewhere, his brows furrowed, and said, "You plan to reward the winning team with one hundred taels of silver for all the soldiers?" ”

Lu Ding looked at Tang Ning and felt that he must have made a mistake.

Sixteen guards, including the generals, each guard has a total of one hundred and one people, and each person is rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and there are ten thousand taels over there.

The budget of the Ministry of War is only two thousand taels, and even if he writes ten taels, it accounts for half of the budget, which is extremely inappropriate.

Tang Ning nodded and said: "The soldiers have worked hard, so naturally we must give them rich rewards, so as to promote their enthusiasm, as far as I know, many of the officers and soldiers in the army are from poor families, and these rewards are earned by their efforts, and they deserve it." ”

Downing not only had to prepare a silver prize, but even prepared to cast a grand trophy in bronze, and whoever could win the first place in the Sixteen Guards Contest would be awarded to whoever won it, and then bring it over in the next competition and re-award it to the winner, so that it would become a symbol of the Sixteen Guards Championship of the China's Cup......

Lu Ding looked at him and asked, "The military department doesn't have so many ......?"

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Lord Lu, don't worry, this money has already been raised by the lower officials, and there is no need for the military department." ”

"Got it?" Lu Ding looked at him and asked, "Where did you raise it?" ”

Tang Ning explained: "The shopkeeper of Tang Renzhai and the big proprietor of the Tang Chamber of Commerce are willing to fund this Sixteen Wei Da ......."

Lu Ding was stunned and asked, "Aren't you the shopkeeper of Tang Renzhai?" ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "This is what our proprietress meant." ”

Lu Ding frowned and said: "The Sixteen Wei Dabi is a very serious matter, how can it be related to businessmen, this matter is not feasible." ”

I want the horses to run, but I don't give the horses grass, I don't give the grass myself, and I don't let others give it......

What can you do with two thousand taels of silver, even the bonus is not enough, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and without silver, Tang Ning can't do this thing.

He looked at Lu Ding and said helplessly: "Lord Lu, I know the difficulties of the military department, but you want to be stingy with this big competition, and you don't want the silver donated by others------ this errand, please forgive the officials for being powerless." ”

In fact, even Lu Ding himself felt that his requirements were too harsh for Tang Ning, and even a little embarrassing.

He thought for a moment and said, "Regarding this matter, this official will give you an answer in the afternoon." ”

The Imperial Study.

Emperor Chen rarely did not review the cantata, but stood in the hall, looking down at the jar on the ground.

The jar is densely packed with poisonous insects such as centipedes and scorpions, which makes people's scalp tingle at a glance.

He straightened up, put his hands behind his back, and asked, "This is Gu?" ”

Gongsun Ying wore shackles and shackles, stood aside, and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, this is not Gu, these poisonous insects are fighting in the tank, after seven seven and forty-nine days, the remaining one can be called Gu, if it is taken around the Dragon Boat Festival, the most poisonous poisonous insects, the Gu that is born is also the most powerful, and after the Gu insects are born, they will be warmed by blood, and after seven days, through the technique of controlling Gu, they can be controlled." ”

A look of surprise appeared on Emperor Chen's face, and he muttered, "There really is such a thaumaturgy in the world......

At this time, a eunuch walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Lu Dinglu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asks to see you." ”

Chen Huang walked up and said, "Let him in." ”

When Lu Ding walked into the imperial study, there were only Emperor Chen and a few eunuchs left in the palace.

Lu Ding walked to the hall, bowed his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, regarding the Sixteen Wei Da Competition, the minister has ordered someone to formulate new rules, please take a look at it." ”

"Bring it in."

After a while, Emperor Chen took the fold from a eunuch, looked at it carefully, and asked, "This new rule was formulated by Tang Ning, right?" ”

Lu Ding said: "Your Majesty is wise, this is indeed formulated by Tang Langzhong. ”

"What is wise and not wise." Emperor Chen waved his hand and said, "If it wasn't for the one he just came up with, your military department would have taken it out a long time ago, so why would you wait until now?" ”

Lu Ding said: "The ministers can't make up their minds about this new regulation, please make a decision to your majesty." ”

"That's a good idea." Emperor Chen nodded and said, "The sixteen guards each rely on their abilities, if they lose again this time, they won't have anything to say, just do as he says." ”

Lu Ding thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, although this method is wonderful, but according to this preparation, it will require more silver taels, and Tang Langzhong raised silver from the merchants in Beijing......"

"Merchant?" Emperor Chen frowned and said, "Why do you have to do with businessmen in the affairs of the Ministry of War?" ”

Lu Ding said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the Ministry of War has just replaced the damaged equipment of the Treasury Department with a new one, and it has cost a lot of money, and I really can't get more silver." ”

"In that case, let us draw money from the treasury." Chen Huang waved his hand and asked, "How much?" ”

Lu Ding said: "The preliminary estimate is ......, 50,000 taels." ”

Chen Huang looked at him and asked, "What did Lu Aiqing say just now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the preparation for this big competition is initially estimated to require 50,000 ......."

"It's not this one, it's the last one."

"The Ministry of War has just replaced the damaged equipment in the Treasury Department, and it really can't be ......."

"One more sentence."

Lu Ding was stunned and said, "Tang Langzhong raised silver from the merchants in Beijing......

Emperor Chen nodded and said, "Although Tang Aiqing's method is a little inappropriate, it is also for the sake of the national treasury, and his heart is commendable, and I am accurate." ”
