"You've trained the Shadows so well, what's the crime?" Lu Bu stepped forward and helped Nie Zheng up.

"Thank you, Lord."

Nie Zheng stood up and said, "Please go to the main peak and inspect the shadows." ”

"Good. Lead the way in front of the head. ”

Lu Bu and Li Yuanba followed Nie Zheng down the mountain and went to the main peak.

Purple Mountain, there are forty peaks, the largest of which is in the middle, ninety zhang high, lush jungles, streams around, is the headquarters of the shadows.

As he walked forward, Nie Zheng introduced.

When he arrived at the main peak, Lu Bu already had a certain understanding of the Forty Peaks of Purple Gold and the Shadows.

The next day, at noon.

At the top of the Purple Mountain, three thousand shadow killers stood with swords.

With Nie Zheng's order, he began to practice swordsmanship and sword formation.

The Three Talent Array, the Seven Star Array, the Nine Song Array... Even a hundred people in a large array, the scene is very spectacular.

After looking at it for a while, Lu Bu said, "It's okay to look good, I don't know how the combat effectiveness is?" ”

"Rest assured, the combat effectiveness of the Shadow is definitely no worse than that of ordinary troops." Nie Zheng was very confident and said, "Even if you send them to destroy an army, you will definitely be able to complete the task!" ”

"Well, with your words, my 30 million money, even if it is not spent in vain."

"Lord, the number of shadows..." Nie Zheng hesitated for a while, but still wanted to explain to Lu Bu that in his opinion, the number of people was indeed a bit large.

"What's wrong with the numbers? Isn't it enough? ”

"No, no." Nie Zhengdao: "Don't you think that the number of people is a bit large?" ”

"Haha... Is this also called more? ”

Lu Bu laughed. Glancing at the three thousand shadows, he came back to his senses and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the room." ”

"My lord, please."

Looking at Lu Bu's expression, he didn't mind that there were three thousand shadows, and Nie Zheng was finally relieved.

Coming to a spacious room, Lu Bu took out a map and said, "There are thirteen states in the world, and each state must send shadow surveillance to grasp the movements of the princes. In particular, some of the more important cities should send more people to garrison. Just 3,000 shadows, can it be called too much? ”

Li Yuanba found a place to sit down.

Nie Zheng walked up to Lu Bu, looked at the cities on the map, and asked, "Is the lord saying that every city must be monitored?" ”

Lu Budao: "At least in each county, establish a stronghold and send fifty to one hundred people to garrison it. Do the math, how many people are needed? ”

Nie Zheng's preliminary calculation requires nearly 10,000 people!

Suddenly, he was excited, and arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your trust, and your humble position will definitely live up to your high expectations." ”

"Your task is very difficult. Not only do you train the Shadows to become assassins, but you also have to send them to secretly infiltrate the princes' territory so that they don't find out. Every half month, up to twenty days, report back to me. ”

"Yes, it will be done."

"Don't say yes too soon, do you know the difficulties?" Lu Bu looked at Nie Zheng and said, "I'll give you half a year." Half a year later, report to me on the situation in each state and county. ”

Nie Zheng gradually calmed down, and after thinking about it, he said, "As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do." ”

"How much more do you need?"

Nie Zhengdao: "Every state and county has our brothels, so you don't need to find another place to live. Just send someone into the inner workings of the princes and get the news. The day before the humble post, it was calculated that there was still 130 million dollars. ”

"How much?" Lu Bu was slightly shocked.

"130 million dollars."

Lu Bu: ".... ”

Nie Zheng explained: "My lord, it is not so simple to penetrate the enemy. Sometimes it costs millions of dollars to buy off an official. Especially for officials in important positions, they must have a lot of money.... ”

How can Lu Bu not know these truths?

But where are the hundreds of millions of copper coins going?

The warehouses of Xu and Yang have a total of 320 million, half of which is in Xiao He's hands, and he will definitely not be able to take it out. And the remaining half will be renovated in the north city and a brothel will be opened. How can there be any excess for the shadows.

"Is there a problem for the lord?"

"What do you say? 130 million, who can take it? ”

Nie Zheng pondered for a moment and suggested: "It's better to lay out the Central Plains first, and when you have money in the future, you can send the shadow to other places." ”

"No, I am desperate to keep track of the movements of the princes. The layout must be completed within half a year. Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said, "I will give you 50 million within a month." Within half a year, 130 million will be paid. ”

"That humble job also guarantees that within half a year, the layout will be completed!" Nie Zheng said happily.

"Okay, let's high-five!"

Syllable!

The two clapped each other and finalized the layout of the world.

...............................

Two days later, Lu Bu and Li Yuanba returned to Shouchun City.

Due to the continuous travel, Li Yuanba was a little tired, and went back to sleep.

Lu Bu didn't have time to rest. The first thing I did when I returned to the city was to inspect the construction of Beicheng and the recent situation of Lichun Temple. Then, back in the study, he began to rack his brains and find a way to make money.

Although at the end of the Han Dynasty, the role of money was not very large. But without money, it's absolutely not good. Take the matter of the shadow as an example, as soon as Nie Zheng opened his mouth, it was 130 million, which is almost a large state's tax for two years. With such a large sum of money, there is no place to grab it.

"Lord, Miss Jin Lian is here." Zhang Feng said outside the door.

"Let her in."

"No."

Pan Jinlian walked into the study, bowed to Lu Bu, and said, "Brother Fengxian, I heard that you just went to Lichun Courtyard, and I wasn't there." Do you miss me? ”

"Yes. I'm tired of thinking about it. ”

"Huh?" Pan Jinlian looked confused.

"Not about you. I mean money! Lu Bu got up and sighed: "It's really a matter of money when it's used.... ”

"How much does Brother Bongseon need? I still have 10 million, so I might as well use it first. ”

"Ten million is enough..." Lu Bu smacked his mouth, suddenly remembered, and asked, "Of the 30 million money I gave you, is there only 10 million left?" ”

"yes. Some time ago, five million were shipped to Yanzhou. Yesterday, another 15 million was shipped to Jingzhou. Now there are only 10 million left. Originally, he wanted to open the brothel to Sun Ce's territory, but now he can only give up. ”

Pan Jinlian was also a little helpless. When she came here, she originally wanted to find Lu Bu to get money, but when she saw that Lu Bu was worried about money, she was embarrassed to speak again.

"How much more do you need?" Lu Bu asked.

"Ten million."

Lu Bu sat slowly and sneered: "Anyway, I'm still a lot behind, and I don't care about this 10 million." You wait and let the Yin Mansion extract it. When it comes to money, I'll figure it out again. ”

"Brother Fengxian, if you really don't have any money, you can give it to me later."

"It doesn't matter. You take it and use it first. ”

Whether it's a brothel or a shadow, it must be built as soon as possible. Although the budget is tight, there must be no shortage. Lu Bu was convinced that with the minds of later generations, he would definitely be able to come up with a solution.

Thanks to a dead man alive, a reward of 599 book coins! Thanks to the 100 book coins that Wu Xian rewarded! Thank you so much!
