On May 15, only five days after the battle between Cangting and Dongwuyang, Dongjun was fully recovered, and Gongsun Xun had no reason to occupy those county seats, so he immediately gathered the whole army that had reached more than 20,000 because of the absorption of prisoners, and came to the big city of Puyang, the county of Dongjun, to assemble.

By this time, Gongsun Xun had already known that Guan Yu had accepted a horse thief boy named Pan Zhang, and also knew that a person named Yu Yu had killed Dong'e County to avenge Wang Du...... It's a moment of embarrassment.

But I'm afraid it's just a sigh, he gave the divine horse white horse to Guan Yunchang, and told the other party to give birth to Pan Zhang, and also reported the news of the death of Dong'e County to the center, and the rest can only be like that.

Or else?

In fact, although Gongsun Xun himself has not been depressed since that war, he has also been unable to let go of it for a long time, in this case, he didn't even have time to sigh after Liu Bei was stabbed so deeply, not to mention what Pan Zhang and Yu Poison were?

It is said that on this day, he entered Puyang City, and this middleman with facial features first went to visit the wounded and sick who were placed in a circle...... Of course, it also includes Liu Xuande, who doesn't know whether he is unlucky or lucky...... Then he hurried back to the official temple of the county government occupied by him, and led all the officers and clerks in the army to listen to the long report of the army chief Shi Wang Xiu.

The report was very long, but whether it was the elimination of prisoners, the selection, the establishment, or the discussion of military merits of various departments, it was actually quite smooth.

This is not to say that these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals are good old men and are unwilling to worry about such things that are related to their honor and real profits.

rather, he said,

First, Wang Shuzhi does have some commendable things, and he has done it in terms of fairness on the whole;

Second, these officers who can come to the hall to find a stool to sit on are at least Qu Junhou of 600 stones, and the most important 'personal promotion' for them is actually only in the hands of Gongsun Xun and the center, so it's useless to talk nonsense here...... In fact, Gongsun Xun's recommendation and military exploits had already been sent to Beijing a few days ago;

Third, in the final analysis, after that war, Gongsun Xun's own prestige in this army has reached a certain level, and in front of him, no one dares to spill! In addition, Gongsun Xun has rarely shown a smiling face in the past few days, so Cao Mengde is honestly sitting there looking at his nose and nose, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense!

Therefore, this large-scale military discussion was uneventful until the end, until Wang Xiu suddenly read out a string of numbers at the end!

"How much?" Gongsun Xun, who was almost drowsy, was startled.

"Eighteen cities in one county, plus the Cangting camp of the thief army, a total of more than 300 catties of gold, more than 500 catties of silver, more than 100 horses of brocade, more than 10,000 horses of cloth, and money ...... More than 30,000. Wang Xiu held the account book and read it again. The rest of the armor and weapons have long been filled into the army, and they cannot be counted, and the grain and grass have been piled up too much, and they have not yet been calculated. ”

The hall was silent for a while.

The number is too big, whether it is Cheng Pu, Guan Yu, or Lu Fan, Lou Gui, Shen Pei and others, or Cao Mengde, who is sitting closely, Gongsun Xun, who is used to seeing large sums of money, can't help but be silent for a while at this time.

And after a long time, the festival general asked Fang Zhengse: "Why are there so many?" On that day, I pacified Goguryeo, although there was a lot of gold and silver, but the money and silk were ...... That's a lot more. ”

"Prince." Wang Xiu replied with a straight color after covering the volume. "Without him, Dongjun is too rich, and Goguryeo is not enough to compare."

Gongsun Xun was speechless again.

Of course, what Wang Xiu said was the truth, and it was really because Dongjun was too rich to have so many seizures.

You must know that Dongjun has a population of more than 600,000, which is far more prosperous than Goguryeo. More importantly, Dongjun spans the Yellow River, the terrain is long and narrow, and it is almost located in the center of the Han Dynasty.

In such a big county, how many hundred years of accumulation of wealthy households, businessmen and tycoons, even if the Yellow Turban army has avoided and wooed the powerful of the world, even if there are many nests of government treasury thieves who were openly divided by the grassroots soldiers and local armed forces at the first time when the city was recovered, even if a large amount of wealth and goods escaped, there is still so much wealth left!

The three words war money live up to its name.

In fact, Gongsun Xun, who was silent, thought about it for a long time, but in the end, he could only laugh dryly: "I didn't think that Dongjun was so much richer than Goguryeo." ”

This is a typical nonsense used to disguise the gaffe!

Seeing this, Cao Mengde simply congratulated him: "Why should Wen Qi think too much, this is what you deserve." ”

The generals also congratulated one after another, and there was no intention of discussing this huge amount of floating wealth.

What do you mean? Why did Gongsun Xun lose his temper? Why did Cao Cao's generals congratulate him?

The answer is very simple, because the wealth that Wang Xiu read, in addition to the grain, grass, and ordnance in the back to be filled into the army, the gold and silver money in front of him are actually Gongsun Xun's private property!

That's right! Many of the Dongjun tycoons who were involved in the war have accumulated more than 100 years of wealth, and even the official treasury, after being handed over by the Yellow Turban Army, now they have naturally become Gongsun Xun's 'capture'! Moreover, the officers and non-commissioned officers below have already taken their share in the process of 'receiving' and 'chasing' to the counties, and the fact that this money can appear in Wang Xiu's account book shows that it belongs to Gongsun Xun alone according to the rules from beginning to end!

Moreover, this point was tacitly acquiesced in by the imperial court, and even encouraged.

Even this figure, which once shocked Gongsun Xun, is still reasonable...... For example, there are more than 10,000 pieces of cloth in it, which seems to be a lot, but Dong Zhuo, as the military commander under Zhang Huan, independently led the way to cooperate with Zhang Huan to break the Qiang people, and because he did not capture it directly, the imperial court rewarded him with 9,000 pieces of cloth as compensation.

So all in all, Gongsun Xun can dispose of this huge amount of money as he does now, and he does not need to bear any political risks, even moral hazards...... Because at this moment, the entire Han Dynasty has already recognized this money as the private property of his Gongsun Xun.

This is a rule of leading troops to fight in these days!

"I ......"

Gongsun Xun wanted to say something or make some kind of arrangement, but after all, he just waved his hand to let everyone disperse, and he was at a loss for a while.

Such a demeanor does not mean that Gongsun Xun is dazzled by this money, he is not so embarrassed! Dong Zhuo, who is not wealthy in other people's families, knew that after receiving the reward of 9,000 pieces of cloth, he knew that he would not keep any horses, and all of them would be given to his subordinates.

In fact, if this wealth was a little less, Gongsun Xun might immediately gather the whole army and divide all the goods in public to invite the army to buy.

The reason for the hesitation was that the money was indeed a little more than he imagined, coupled with the previous discussion with Cheng Yu about the post-war situation and the scene on the river embankment, which made this five-sensed Zhonglang who came to Dongjun feel some sympathy for the people of Dongjun after the war.

So, he instinctively wanted to use this wealth to benefit the local people.

However, the crux of the matter is that in a hurry, Gongsun Xun couldn't think of any way to let the people at the bottom directly benefit! Because any way must go through the hands of the local clan heroes, and the local clan heroes have also suffered heavy losses, passing through their hands, it can only mean that as soon as Gongsun Xun leads the troops away, they will take away all the goods...... There is no point in doing so!

Otherwise, you can't just queue up to send money, right? In that case, what would the sergeant think? Don't send us money, to whom?

"Wait!" Just as Gongsun Xun frowned and pondered, the guards in front of the hall suddenly gave up their hands to report. "Wang Changshi went and returned, asking to see the prince."

Gongsun Xun's heart moved, so he hurriedly let the other party in.

"Is the monarch thinking about how to use these seizures to help the local people?" Wang Xiu was still holding his account book, but he was straight to the point.

"Please Shuzhi teach me." Gongsun Xun didn't get up, so he said directly.

"There's no good way to do it." Wang corrected the color and replied. "The eastern county is gone, the powerful and powerful of the world have suffered military disasters, it is nothing more than different shades, the prince takes the floating wealth to help the people, you are good at all times, once you are ordered to leave, this money cannot escape the right hand of the local hao."

"You can't just sit idly by, can you?" Gongsun Xun frowned more and more.

"You might as well divide some military rations." Wang Xiu suggested softly.

Gongsun Xun was silent for a while.

Seeing this, Wang Xiu hurriedly explained: "These days, I have been going down the Sima Fu River with the trial, and I have seen that the entire Dongjun Yellow River has been poisoned by military disasters, and the green seedlings in the field have been trampled and destroyed...... So many people died at this time, it may not be a sign of famine, but after this autumn's harvest, there will inevitably be chaos! Therefore, no matter how much floating wealth the prince keeps, it is better to leave more grain in the Puyang Mansion treasury. ”

Gongsun Xun finally bowed his head slightly and smiled.

He got up and came to Wang Xiu in the hall, patted the other party's shoulder, and encouraged him a little: "Uncle Zhi is benevolent, it is indeed the only way, since this is the case, you go back and calculate it and see how much military food can be freed up." ”

Then he turned back and sat down.

"Actually, the prince may also be able to write to the imperial court to request that Dongjun be exempted from paying taxes for one year." Wang Xiu couldn't help but continue to admonish.

"When I performed military exploits after the war, I had already made such a statement to the Son of Heaven." Gongsun Xun didn't look back, and replied. "The angels should arrive in these two days, just listen to the news!"

"It's a subordinate who is presumptuous." Wang Shuzhi was stunned for a long time, and only then did he come back to his senses slightly after seeing the other party sit down calmly. "But in this case, the prince has actually tried his best, why do I still feel that the prince and the prince are unswerving, and my heart is depressed?"

"Because the symptoms are not the root cause." Gongsun Xun sat down and said frankly. "What you and I are saying is to solve a temporary dilemma, even this campaign against the Yellow Turban Thief is just an act of scraping off the carrion, and the big man is actually terminally ill...... What does Shuzhi think? ”

The hall of the county government is deep and vast, and the righteous servants stand in front of the hall with swords to block it, so there is actually no third person in the hall who can hear this, and Wang Xiu was stunned at first, and then he was silent for a long time.

"Why didn't Shuzhi speak?" Gongsun Xun stared at the other party and asked.

Wang Xiu held the account book and slowly asked, "What does the prince want me to answer?" ”

When Gongsun Xun heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Since Shuzhi is unwilling to answer, I actually probably understand your intentions...... Don't worry, I don't mean to persecute you, nor do I mean to risk the condemnation of the world. I just want to know, according to your age and me, there is still a lot to be done in the future, and if the situation disturbs the sky, are you willing to still follow me? ”

"What did the prince say?" Wang Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. "Since the former prince opened my home in Beihai, the status of our monarch and minister has been decided, and since that day, my subordinates have never thought that they would abandon the prince and leave! What worries me today is only that I am afraid that the prince will go against the trend and lose his virtue, so I am just afraid of it...... You must know that what the prince did before did not have the slightest behavior that was inferior to the world, and Xiu is often proud of it! ”

"I get it!" Gongsun Xun also grew a bite when he heard this, and then he got up again and came to the hall, and patted the other party on the shoulder with a smile for the second time. "It is really a blessing for my Gongsun Xun to be able to get Shuzhi's follow! But being recognized by Shuzhi is the thing I am most proud of...... Shuzhi, you must know that the talents under my command are now considered to be in the car, and there is a reason why I only ask you about this matter. ”

"Shame on your subordinates!" Wang Xiu bowed and replied.

"Prince!" At this moment, the righteous congregation outside the door once again raised his voice to report. "The judge Sima also went and returned, and came again to ask for a meeting."

"Ask him to come in." Gongsun Xun is naturally indispensable, but his spirit has soared a lot.

Wang Xiu took a few steps back and stood aside, and when he came in, he was slightly stunned when he saw Wang Xiu here. Then he simply ignored it, bowed directly in the hall, and then raised his voice and asked: "I don't know how the prince is going to deal with the seizure?" ”

"What does Jeongnam think?" Gongsun Xun asked with a smile.

"I'm here to give advice." The judge is right. "The rich party in the prince's family, why bother to stick to the goods, it is better to take out all the money and reward it to the officers and soldiers in the army to comfort the hearts of the army!"

"It's really a hero's vision." Gongsun Xun chuckled again. "Shuzhi just suggested that I do this!"

The judge gestured to Wang Xiu Yaoyao, and Wang Xiu also hurriedly held the account book and owed each other.

"That's so." Gongsun Xun nodded. "After the central decree arrives and the destination is determined, the two of you will work hard to organize a military parade outside the city, and we will take advantage of the situation to reward all the 300 million dollars and 10,000 pieces of cloth!"

When the judge heard this, he became more and more excited, and he hurriedly praised it again: "The generosity of the prince is enough to make the sea look sideways!" ”

Gongsun Xun smiled and said nothing.

At this time, the righteous servants outside the door bowed down for the third time to report: "The prince, the marquis of Cheng Jun is also here." ”

"Let him in."

Cheng Lian also rushed into the hall in a hurry, and saw the two of them in the door, Wang Xiu, although they were not familiar with each other, they were still quite polite, and only after saying hello to Gongsun Xun did they bow to Gongsun Xun in the hall.

"What does that mean?" Gongsun Xun raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The subordinates are presumptuous, ask the prince to give the word......" Cheng Lian said cautiously on the ground. He has not followed the side of the prince for several years, but Lian has never forgotten the kindness of the prince, and he will never dare to be disrespectful to the prince! In the past, the old people of Bingzhou, Wei Yue, Gao Shun, and I were all from poor backgrounds, but now I am the only one without a prince and a marquis, which is really embarrassing! ”

"I've got it ready for you, just waiting for you to come." Gongsun Xun immediately responded proudly. "The incorruptible, Bian Ye, just call you to be upright! If you go out of the ground and use martial arts as your minions to do things to me, you rely on it like this, if you are in peacetime, you will not achieve much. But if there is turmoil today, no one can say what will happen in the future...... If you can keep your heart, be upright, and be loyal to me, maybe there will be a day when you will wear blue and purple, and glorify your ancestors! ”

Cheng Lian kowtowed and thanked again and again, Wang Xiu was silent when he held the scroll, and his eyelids jumped when he was judged.
