Chapter 14 A military salary of 500,000 taels

After listening to Chen Wansan's words, Uncle Li Huang looked at Lin Feng and nodded and praised: "The original group of young men, under your leadership and training, is not bad!" How much time has I been in Hanzhong now, and the information is very good! Then he looked at Chen Wansan and said with a smile: "Hehe, Wansan, follow Xiaofeng well!" It's yours! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Li, for the compliment! I will always follow Brother Feng to help you do things! Chen Wansan scratched his head embarrassedly and replied. Uncle Li Huang's face bloomed with joy as he said in this sentence.

At this time, Xiaojun interjected next to him and asked, "Dad, did you let Brother Feng fight again?" ”

Uncle Li Huang couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and then laughed and said: "Haha, my daughter, she talks like this before she gets married!" Didn't you wronged your father, obviously it was your brother Feng who brought it up just now! ”

Xiao Yun turned his head to look at Lin Feng again, blinked his eyes and asked, "Brother Feng, are you going to fight again?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly and replied, "No! I am going to deal with official business, and I am now the envoy of Shannan West Road, so I want to ensure the security of the area under my jurisdiction, that is, to ensure the normal life of the people! And this Sikong De's leopard gate usually specializes in doing some things to bully the common people, so I want to drive them away! Do you understand? ”

Xiao Yun looked at Lin Feng and nodded as if he didn't understand, then put the fish head into the bowl for Lin Feng, and said gently: "It seems to understand, and it seems that I don't understand, but it doesn't matter!" Eat this fish head! You think about so many things every day, eat fish head to replenish your brain! ”

Everyone laughed after listening to Xiaoyun's words...

In the early morning of the next day, after eating early, Lin Feng rode to the military camp outside the city with Zhou Chen and Mao Hao. After beating the drum and raising the tent, Lin Feng looked at the generals sitting below, and first pointed to Zhou Chen on his left and introduced: "This is the newly appointed deputy envoy Zhou Chen, Lord Zhou, and I hope that the generals will cooperate more in the future." Then pointed to Mao Hao on the right and introduced: "This is General Mao Hao, the marching Sima in the future army, and I also hope that everyone will cooperate more in the future!" ”

"Yes!" The generals replied in unison.

Lin Feng looked at this scene, he was quite satisfied, nodded and said, "I haven't come to the barracks to take a look in the past few days, do you have anything to report?" If so, let's talk about it in person! After finishing speaking, Lin Feng turned around and sat down in his position.

Lin Feng looked at everyone below who was hesitant You look at me, I look at you, after all, no one stood up to speak, Lin Feng frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? Then Lin Feng pointed to the general at the front: "You, are you the guard here?" ”

When the man saw Lin Feng calling him by name, he immediately saluted and replied, "Lord Yu, the last general will be Wang Puzhen, the guard of Hanzhong City!" ”

Lin Feng nodded and looked at him and said, "No courtesy, no courtesy!" It's up to you, tell me what the hell is going on! ”

Wang Pu shook up and stumbled and said, "Big, my lord." In our army, that, that, what is it, the military salary, it has been more than two months, no, it has not been paid... ”

When he said the last, the voice was basically inaudible, but Lin Feng still understood what was going on, he leaned back in his chair and asked, "Why don't you send it?" Is it that the above did not give money or what? What does it look like? Give me a quick one, like a man! Do you look like a general now? ”

"Yes!" Wang Puzhen straightened up, and then said: "It should have been paid a long time ago, but the predecessor's festival made Lord Niu drag the military salary and didn't pay it... ”

After listening to this, Lin Feng understood that he had met a big corrupt official and deducted his military salary, but now that he had been killed by himself, he had no way to ask for this money from others! It is even more impossible on the emperor's side, although all the local jiedu envoys have paid tribute, but this jiedu makes the local army originally self-sufficient, and few imperial courts supply money and grain to maintain. Therefore, I can only rely on my own way to pay for this military salary.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng asked Wang Puzhen, "I haven't sent it for more than two months, right?" You directly count the military salary you need for three months and tell me, I'll figure it out! ”

After hearing this, Wang Puzhen was stunned for a moment, then stared, looked at Lin Feng with an incredulous look and asked, "My lord, do you mean three months' military salary?" ”

"Well, three months!" Lin Feng glanced at him and said, "Is there a problem?" Then send someone to the city after the count is completed. ”

"No, no, no!" Wang Puzhen hurriedly said in a panic: "My lord, no, what is it, it's just a little unbelievable!" Originally, the military salary was paid after the end of January, but now it is only more than two months, and you say that it is three months, and you can't react a little! ”

Lin Feng said a little impatiently: "Then hurry up and tell me that the brothers have been delayed for more than two months, and this third month should also be early!" ”

"Well, General, I'll report back to you!" Wang Puzhen hurriedly took out a piece of cloth from his chest, unfolded it and said, "There are four thousand infantrymen, each of whom has six taels of silver per month." Four thousand cavalrymen, each of whom had eight taels of silver per month. Six thousand horses, each of which was two taels of silver per month. There were two thousand crossbowmen, each of whom was six taels of silver per month. ”

"Wait!" Lin Feng stretched out his hand to stop Wang Puzhen's report: "Give me a total, three months!" "Even the horses have been calculated, so won't they have to wait for him to report the cost of each bow and arrow? How long will it take? How good computing power does it take to calculate a total?

"yes, okay." After listening to this, Wang Puzhen hurriedly pulled the cloth to the bottom and read: "The total expenditure in January is 110,000 taels of silver!" Among them, 10,000 taels of logistics labor expenses and 20,000 taels of logistics facilities, including various bow and crossbow weapon facilities! ”

"Stop, stop!" Lin Feng hurriedly interrupted his words, thought for a moment and said, "110,000 taels in January, 330,000 taels in three months!" In this way, I will send out an additional 170,000 taels, and each soldier will have 15 taels, so that everyone can have a good year! The rest of you will watch for yourselves! That's it! After finishing speaking, Lin Feng got up and wanted to leave, ignoring the stunned people in the camp.

"Wait! My lord! Wang Puzhen was the first to react, stretched out his hand to stop Lin Feng and said, "My lord, you, is what you just said true?" ”

Lin Feng looked at Wang Puzhen with a surprised face, his heart was full of helplessness, and then he stretched out his hand and took advantage of the situation. In a very short time, he drew Wang Puzhen's saber, made a mark on his armor, and then inserted the saber back into his scabbard.

After watching the people around him open their mouths into eggs, he felt that his goal had been achieved, and then Lin Feng clapped his hands in a chic manner, and strode out, leaving only one sentence: "I also left you the mark, I'm worried that what I said just now is a dream, just look at the mark!" I'll tell you to get the money!" ”
