Chapter 158 Organizing a Ball Game and Raising Military Funds (1)
However, it was said that Hong Chengchou led a group of soldiers and generals to the gate of the barracks, and ordered: "After eating today, the time is not early, so you can go back to the camp to rest." ”
"Yes, Junmen." When the generals were given the order, they had to go back to their camps.
And Liu Renyu was about to step away, not mentioning the flood control Chengchou and called softly: "Renyu, stay and come to my military tent, I have something to say to you." ”
"Yes, Junmen." Liu Renyu received the order, and under the envious and slightly jealous gaze of his colleagues, he followed behind Hong Chengchou's ass and walked straight into the Chinese army's tent.
Coming into the big tent, Hong Chengchou went to sit behind the handsome case by himself, and then when Liu Renyu was about to give a gift, Hong Chengchou smiled and waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Renyu doesn't have to be like this, if there are only the two of us discussing matters in the future, these vulgar etiquette should be avoided." ”
"Yes, Junmen." Liu Renyu thought that he was Hong Chengchou's confidant and favorite general, so he was not polite, and agreed very readily, and then he found a horse and sat down.
"Renyu, in the first battle of Yan'an, the rebel thief King Jiayin was defeated, this is naturally your ministry's great achievement, have you written this merit document?"
"If you go back to the military gate, it will be written under the mark."
"Well, in this battle, you should be credited with your first merit, and I think it is okay to protect you as a general!"
"Junmen, please forgive me for my courage, the current super-transformation is upgraded to guerrilla, at my age, it is already an outlier, so I hope to be able to experience it again and boil up my qualifications."
"Hehe, you are young, but your mind is old, are you afraid that you will suddenly rise to the top and arouse the jealousy of the veterans in the army, yes or no?"
"Hehe, the military gate is really clear, I am promoted to general, and I will go on the expedition with other veterans in the future, and it is not easy to unify the power. If I am the main general, I am afraid that the veteran will not accept it; If the veteran is in charge, the standard is convinced, but the subordinates under the standard may not be convinced, so it will give rise to some incidents in vain, so the hope under the mark is to be a guerrilla, as for military merits, the mark thinks that the profit can be shared with the brothers under his hands, after all, now is the time to employ people, and it is always good to win the heart of the army. ”
"Hehe, Renyu thinks a lot, and I think it's reasonable, so I'll rely on you."
Hong Chengchou also thought that Liu Renyu did this because he was afraid that the old qualification would find him trouble, so he wanted to hide it.
"Xie Junmen is complete."
Liu Renyu thanked him, but he thought in his heart: "If you are promoted to a general, I am afraid that nine times out of ten you will be transferred to another place as the main general of the guard, then Jingbian Fort will most likely change hands." I think that Jingbian Fort is a famous border city of the imperial court after all, far from Zhenbei Fort, which was originally deserted and small, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my own people to be a garrison, if this garrison is done by others, the land I assigned will not be forcibly occupied by that person, and my foundation will be put into water, so I must lay a good foundation in Jingbian Fort to be promoted. ”
However, Hong Chengchou didn't know Liu Renyu's psychological activities, he asked Liu Renyu to submit the petition document quickly, and then he pondered for a while, and then said with a look of embarrassment: "Renyu, you rescued more than 20,000 people who were coerced in this battle, I said a few days ago to let them return to their hometowns, each to return to their own business, but they said that their homes have long been destroyed by the thieves, if they return to their hometowns at this time, there is no life or death, and the thieves return, they are afraid that they will be coerced again, so for the sake of today's plan, it is better to put these homeless people down." ”
After Hong Chengchou said this, he glanced at Liu Renyu a few times, intentionally or unintentionally.
What does Hong Chengchou mean, Liu Renyu knows very well, doesn't he just want him Liu Renyu patted his chest impassionedly, and said loudly: "Junmen, install this little thing, why worry about it, just place it in my Jingbian Fort." Anyway, my Jingbian Fort has enough money and food, and it is not a problem to resettle tens of thousands of displaced people. ”
Liu Renyu knew very well in his heart, but he didn't want to say this, because when he had exterminated Wang Zuojiao and others, more than 10,000 homeless people in Zhao'an were still living in the nest, and Ma Tianjun was already crying poor every day, saying that these 10,000 homeless people were not engaged in production, but were specially consumed, and Jingbian Fort could not afford it.
So Liu Renyu didn't respond to Hong Chengchou's words at all, he thought that Hong Chengchou was a smart person and should understand what silence meant.
And Hong Chengchou is really a smart person, and he really understands that behind the silence is a lot of hardship, so he sighed and said: "I originally wanted to plant more than 10,000 homeless people in your Jingbian Fort, but I think that you have already received 10,000 homeless people, it must be a very heavy burden, so I will no longer send homeless people to you to plant." ”
"The military gate, marked but has spare strength, since it should be for the military gate to share worries, but my Jingbian Fort to accept 10,000 displaced people is already stretched, miserable, I really can't accept more displaced people, the military gate is so for the sake of the standard, the standard is very admirable." Liu Renyu saw that Hong Chengchou understood things very well, so he praised the other party from the bottom of his heart.
"It seems that I have no choice but to report this matter to Yang Zhishuai, and he will decide how to resettle these displaced people. During this period, the daily food used by these displaced people is not a small amount, and the food stored in the army at present, counting the support in Yan'an City, is only enough for the whole army and the displaced people to eat for 5 days, and after 5 days, there will be worries about running out of food. ”
When Hong Chengchou said this, he inevitably sighed again.
Liu Renyu saw Hong Chengchou saying in front of him that there was not enough food to eat, and he made it clear that he wanted to give a solution, which made him a little depressed, after all, Yansui's affairs are the affairs of the imperial court, and you, a governor of Yansui, always pinch me a little guerrilla, which is not like words.
However, even though Liu Renyu was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he smiled slightly on his face, and replied with confidence: "Junmen, the problem of food is actually a problem of money, and with money, there will naturally be food." ”
"Where is the money? Are you going to give up the 20,000 taels of silver that you have taken? Hong Chengchou said in surprise.
"Damn, people can't be shameless to this point, you're too dark, I gave you a seizure, and you still think about the silver I left, it's all I risked my life to snatch it back!?" Liu Renyu slandered Hong Chengchou for a while in his heart.
Then, he had to patiently explain: "Junmen, those silvers have been distributed to meritorious soldiers under the mark, so as to buy the hearts of the army and improve their combat effectiveness. ”
"What you said is reasonable, but I was in a hurry, and it was a little abrupt." Hong Chengchou said this, but his face was very uneasy, and he knew whether he was angry at Liu Renyu for refusing to donate silver taels, or worried about the matter of food.
Seeing Hong Chengchou's expression, Liu Renyu had no choice but to give a way to make money, he said: "Military gate, in fact, there is a method under the standard, which has been used in Suide, and this method has brought a lot of input to the standard. ”
"Oh! How did you come up with a method? Let's hear it. Hong Chengchou said curiously.
"Junmen, when the standard was fighting in Suide, there was also a food crisis, in order to alleviate this difficulty, the standard held a Taixi football match, this ball game requires two teams, each team has 11 players, and then the mark is ............"
Next, Liu Renyu explained how this football game was played, how it was advertised, how it attracted the audience, how it opened a gambling game and set up a trap to make money, and so on.
"Is this football game really so magical?" Hong Chengchou asked in surprise.
"It's really so magical, and this time there is a military gate here, and you can make an extra amount of money under the mark." When Liu Renyu said this, he smiled mysteriously.
"Oh, yes, why can I make an extra amount of money with me?" Hong Chengchou was puzzled.
"Junmen, the mark plans to set up VIP seats for sale, and the person who buys the VIP seat can sit with you, and you can also get your handwritten inscription after the game. Most of the rich squires in Yan'an City want to convince you, and if they have such an opportunity, they will definitely pay a lot of money to buy this seat. ”
"Renyu, what do you mean by VIP?"
"That's the words of Tessie, it means honorable, honorable."
"Oh, that's right. I've listened to your idea and think it's pretty good, so you can get to work. ”
"Yes, Junmen." Liu Renyu responded.
"Renyu, it's not too early, you can go back and rest."
"Yes, military gate, sign down and leave." After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he withdrew from the Chinese army's tent and went back to rest.
************
At dawn the next day, the barracks sounded with the sound of military trumpets.
As soon as the officers and men of his unit, who had already undergone a day of hellish training, heard the sound of this military horn like a life talisman, they all got up and hurried to the school field outside the barracks.
When the generals came to the school field with their men and horses, and stood in a line both horizontally and vertically, Liu Renyu cleared his throat and said loudly: "We will not train for the time being. ”
When the officers and men of his unit heard the news, they all breathed a long sigh of relief, after all, they had trained too hard yesterday, and their muscles were still hurting.
Liu Renyu waited until the generals were happy for a while, and then continued: "I don't train today, but I have another important thing to do. Let's build a football stadium today, and we have a spectator seat. As for how to build it, I have called in carpenters from among the outcasts, and these carpenters will guide you. ”
As soon as Liu Renyu said this, all the soldiers were happy in their hearts, although they didn't know what a football field was, but the work was much easier than training, and they were very willing to do it.
So these soldiers happily built the stands under the guidance of the carpenter, and Liu Renyu led his direct subordinates to mark out the court with lime.
It is naturally not difficult to draw out this stadium, but it still takes a bit of effort to build a simple stand.
The soldiers, led by the carpenters, were busy until noon, when the improvised grandstand was built.
There is a stadium, there are stands, and there must be spectators, so Liu Renyu ordered He Yaozong to call Liu Renjie back, quickly gather the handsome guys in the army, and reorganize the Yumian Langjun team.
He Yaozong got the order, so he hurried to ask Liu Renjie to come back.
Liu Renjie in Yan'an City heard that Liu Renyu had summoned him, and immediately returned to the barracks with a kind of subordinates.
When Liu Renjie returned to the barracks, Liu Renyu asked, "How is it, can the matter entrusted to Po Liu be done?" ”
"My lord, Po Liu took the lowly rank to buy a dowry, and went to Sun's mansion to propose. When Mrs. Liu saw General Sun, before she could say a few words, General Sun agreed to the family affair and set a date, the 18th of next month is an auspicious day for the zodiac, it is advisable to marry, and General Sun asked you to come to pick up your relatives on that day. Liu Renjie said excitedly.
"Yes! The relationship is good, the relationship is good. When Liu Renyu heard the news, he was really happy for a while, and then he was happy, and he said a little depressedly: "I knew that this matter was so easy, why bother to invite Liu Po to go, just find a mother-in-law who can talk, alas, forget it, don't say it, do I have any money left for Liu Po's dowry?" ”
"My lord, Mrs. Liu is a well-known matchmaker, and inviting her to show that you attach great importance to this family affair, so please ask Mrs. Liu to spend money not in vain. But that Liu Po is a big spender, not the best but the most expensive to buy things, all the money you give is used up, and there is no one or two left. ”
"Alas! That's it, that's it, I can't bear the child can't trap the wolf, this money always has to be spent. Oh, by the way, I'm looking for you now, but I have an important matter for you to do. ”
"Your Excellency, you just have to command."
"I'm going to hold another Taixi football match, you quickly reorganize the Yumian Langjun team, go to Yan'an City to advertise, remember that you have to go to the Qinglou more often, because the dust women there, money is easy to come by, and I like you Langjun, so you go to seduce, they can't say that they are going to watch the game." When you advertise, don't forget to say that the competition starts today! ”
"Yes, my lord, I will do it."
Liu Renjie agreed, and when he was about to move to do something, Liu Renyu said again: "Put on makeup and go again." ”
When Liu Renjie heard this request, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and left.
"The people of the people rely on this jade-faced Langjun team to attract them, and the dignitaries can't just rely on these little fresh meat, they still need Hong Junmen to go out."
Liu Renyu muttered to himself for a while, and then went straight to the Chinese army's tent.
But he said that Hong Chengchou got up early in the morning, and then lay at the side of the case, dealing with military affairs, and did not watch out for Liu Renyu suddenly coming, so he stopped what he was doing, and asked Liu Renyu with a smile: "What's the matter, Renyu, why did you come to my place?" ”
"Junmen, yesterday I told you that I want to hold a ball game, of course this needs the audience, ordinary people like to be lively, we advertise on the street, we can attract them, but those dignitaries, we may not be able to attract them, so please also ask Junmen to talk to Governor Zhang, just say that there is a ball game, it is very good-looking, you are very interested, you say this, take care of those dignitaries, rich squires will come to the court to watch the game."
"Really!? Since you say so, I might as well give it a try. When does your game start? ”
"Junmen, Shenshi starts."
"Okay, then the hospital will go through this for you."
Hong Chengchou agreed, then got up and took some guards and went straight to Yan'an City.
