The wooden box was quite large, and it was ornate and glittering in gold, and it must have contained valuable items inside.

"My little liver, the master is here!" Fang Hairui rubbed his hands and opened the wooden box, and suddenly, the true face inside the wooden box was revealed, silver! It was a thousand taels of silver.

The price of goods in the Song Dynasty was very low, a horse cost about 10 guan, a load of rice cost about half a guan, and 1,000 copper coins were consistent, and the consistency was relative to 1 tael of silver.

The military salary of the Great Song State is consistent money, and one person in the whole family is a soldier, which can support a family of three, but the traitors of the Song State are rampant, and the generals at all levels deduct some from it, and only one-tenth of it is in the hands of the soldiers.

"My lord, this commander is really atmospheric, one shot is one thousand taels!"

A white-bearded old man standing next to Fang Hairui looked at the silver with envious eyes.

As soon as Li Qian took office, he began to stammer Fang Hairui, it can be said that he almost became Fang Hairui's dog, and Fang Hairui also regarded Li Qian as a confidant, and he would take him with him for everything.

Fang Hairui put away his smiling face and said lightly: "You just came to Nanhe County, you don't know how dark Ren Zaomu is, he has a thousand Xiang troops, at the end of each month, the Ganzhou prefect will allocate 1,000 taels of silver for military salaries, and Ren Zaomu will deduct 90% from it, take 40% for himself, and then hand over 50% to the prefect!" ”

"Huh? So much? But according to your words, my lord, he can't give you a thousand taels at all! Li Qian said puzzled.

"You know what, do you think he depends on military pay alone? Nanhe County is the granary of Ganzhou, producing 300,000 quintals of grain every year, and as the commander of a thousand van troops, it is easiest to deduct a part of the grain from 300,000 quintals! ”

"You are also my person now, I'll tell you, after Ren Zaomu deducts a part of the grain, he will put the sand into the rice grains handed in, and reach the point of stealing the day, for the purpose of fake and real, and then he will resell all the grain and take out the money and divide it!"

"This time, Ren Zaomu deducted 100,000 quintals of grain, equivalent to 50,000 taels of silver, these 50,000 taels, the prefect wants 30,000 taels, my side 10,000 taels, and he himself 10,000 taels, now, this 1,000 taels is just the first gold, and there are 9,000 taels behind!"

Fang Hairui informed Li Qian of all the ways of this.

"Why do you want to give the prefect 30,000 taels?" Li Qian was still puzzled.

"Oh, why don't you understand anything, reading is really bad for your brain, if you don't give it to the prefect, the prefect will be so kind to deal with those rice mixed with sand for you? The so-called officialdom is actually a chain of interests, a dry, a helper, a butt wipe, Ren Zaomu is the person who does the work, I am the person who helps the liner, and the person who wipes the ass is the prefect! Fang Hairui said impatiently.

Li Qian saw that Fang Hairui's face was wrong, and hurriedly nodded: "Oh, I know!" ”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

At this moment, the anxious shouts of officers and soldiers suddenly came from outside the door.

Fang Hairui frowned, and hurriedly hid the wooden box in the cabinet, and as soon as he hid it, the officers and soldiers broke in, panting.

"What are you doing, panicking, is there an army attacking Nanhe County!" Fang Hairui shouted coldly.

The officers and soldiers were slightly stunned, "My lord, how do you know?" ”

"What do I know, I know..... What do you mean by that? Fang Hairui was stunned for a while, his eyes widened.

, no, I'll just make a joke and tease, I really guessed it?

"There is an army under the city wall of Nanhe County, this army calls itself the Qin Army, coming from the Longshan Mountain Range, it is the Qin Army organized by the bandits in the mountain range, ready to capture Nanhe County!" The officers and soldiers hurriedly spoke.

Fang Hairui suddenly had a wit and said in a deep voice: "How many people are there?" ”

After a brief moment of recollection, the officers and men replied: "About three thousand! ”

"Whew!" Fang Hairui breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat on the stool, the officers and soldiers and Li Qian were a little confused, when was it, and they were still in the mood to sit.

"I said you guys are not waste? Three thousand bandits, bandits, just scare your 1,000 officers and soldiers like this, although there are many bandits, but the equipment is far inferior to the officers and soldiers, and they are still officers and soldiers defending the city, such a big advantage is still so cowardly! ”

"But then again, these bandits are really looking for death, and they dare to fight the idea of Nanhe County, but it's okay, as long as I kill all these bandits, I will get a fame, okay, I can still rise? Ha ha! ”

Fang Hairui was angry and happy, angry that a thousand officers and soldiers were too cowardly, and the rabble scared the regular army of the imperial court into a hurry.

The good thing is that there is merit to be rewarded, the Longshan Mountain Range has always been rampant, if these bandits are wiped out this time, it will definitely be a great achievement.

Hearing this, the officer and soldier bowed their heads in shame.

"By the way, did Ren Zaomu go?" Fang Hairui asked indifferently.

"When I first came, someone had already gone to inform the commander, and I guess I was already on my way!" The officers and men replied truthfully.

"Let's go too, this credit can't be swallowed by Ren Zaomu alone!" Fang Hairui dropped this sentence, and quickly left the county government and went to the city gate.

At the same time, on the city wall, Ren Zaomu, the commander of Nanhe County, looked at the three thousand Qin troops three hundred meters away from the city wall with a sneer!

"It's a god to give credit, hehe!" Ren Zaomu sneered, as if he saw the picture of his promotion to the knighthood.

Under the walls!

Zhao Cheng looked at the officers and soldiers on the city wall with a calm face, and Liu Daoscar next to him saw that Zhao Cheng didn't give an order, so he couldn't help but say in confusion: "Dashuai, don't you attack?" ”

Zhao Cheng shook his head, "The siege is too hurtful, we can't afford it now, just wait here, wait for them to take the initiative to go down to the city to fight!" ”

"Can it work? We have 3,000 men and horses, and there are only 1,000 officers and soldiers, so we shouldn't be able to carry it hard with us! Liu Daoscar said in a skeptical tone.

Zhao Cheng ignored Liu Dao Scar, and immediately ordered decisively: "Pretend to retreat, retreat slowly!" ”

"Yes!" Although puzzled, Liu Daoscar gave an order without hesitation.

After the order was issued, the three thousand Qin troops began to retreat slowly, and Ren Zaomu on the city wall saw this scene and secretly said in his heart: "Why did these bandits retreat, do they want to retreat to the mountains?" No, they must be exterminated, and the ducks that reach their beaks cannot fly! ”

"Order, go out of the city to fight, and kill all these bandits, and then this commander will definitely give you credit!" Ren Zaomu ordered directly.

The officers and soldiers who were originally a little flustered, as soon as they heard the request for merit, they immediately came to their senses, and immediately quickly carried out Ren Zaomu's order.
