The sky gradually brightened, and Li Hu's figure gradually became clear, hooking, stepping up, and hammering, flying up, and waving a burst of his legs and feet in the air.

"Okay."

Hearing some applause, Li Hu gathered his momentum and slowly adjusted his breath.

It's Shi Jingsun.

He even got up so early and came looking for him.

When Li Hu was wiping his sweat, Tuli Niu had already walked over first, saluted and said, "It's General Shi." ”

Shi Jingsun didn't even bring anyone with him, clasped his abdomen with both hands, sighed and said, "I'm blessed." I envy you. Li Hu. No wonder the martial arts are so good. ”

Li Hu smiled: "I'm so active and love martial arts." ”

Shi Jingsun looked at the sky and said, "I heard that those people with big ambitions are agitated in their hearts, and they have to smell the chickens and dance every morning. Li Hu, it seems that you have a lot of ambitions. ”

Li Hu also said: "I heard that people in high positions have a lot of entertainment, and few can get up early, my brother also drank last night, and he can keep getting up early today, and he will not slack off." ”

Shi Jingsun said with a smile: "I'm afraid that I can invite you to go for a walk in the early morning, so I got up." ”

The two walked together, and Shi Jingsun pointed in the direction and said, "Do you know why I brought hundreds of soldiers?" There is an abandoned small pass here, called Jinpo City, also called Jinpo Pass. ”

Li Hu's heart moved, and he turned his head to look at him.

Shi Jingsun said: "It was originally a station for Miao Baotian, but he never went. Recently, the court has been on the official - the letter continues, let Qingxiang Suoding, I don't want to dirty my hands, I want to stay away from the county, and the county guard Miao Baotian They said, as long as I can not let me clear the township, I am willing to replace Miao Baotian and station in Jinpo City. ”

Li Hu was taken aback and asked him, "You don't want Suodin to catch thieves and clear bandits?" Aren't you short of military spending? ”

Shi Jingsun said: "That's right. I am short of military spending. So I'm here, I want to discuss with you Li Hu, how about you take Jinpo City away and give me a loan for some military expenses? ”

He said: "I don't know if the military salary will not be paid today in order to build a Wufu Temple, or whether the military salary will be repaired tomorrow, and whether the military salary will not be paid." No one can go a day without food, and the army cannot go a day without pay. It's just that my army is running out of food, let alone salary. ”

Li Hu asked, "What about Miao Baotian?" ”

Shi Jingsun said: "The county guard used him to deal with me, and gave him half of the military expenses of the county soldiers, and the county soldiers only had half of the original, and they still had to owe." ”

Li Hu fell silent.

Shi Jingsun said softly: "Right now, it's the beginning of chaos in the world, Li Hu, don't you pull an army to protect your industry?" Or have you already done it, just don't make friends and don't want me to know? ”

Li Hu turned his face to look at him again.

Shi Jingsun said: "You take the lead in lending me money, I will give you Jinpo City, let your armed forces hang under the county soldiers, and you will be an officer and soldier in the future, and no one will trouble you." Of course, I can't pay you any more, and if I encounter a strong enemy, you must bring them to my aid. ”

Li Hu was extremely surprised, staring at his face fixedly.

After a while, Li Hu said, "I'm surprised." The first accident, I thought you would come to blackmail me and solve your military spending problem by blackmailing me, but I didn't expect you to come to borrow money; The second accident, I thought that Sodin's capture of thieves and bandits was your willing, and you would solve your own military expenses in this way, but you avoided it; The third accident, I don't know why Jinpo City is not stationed, it is deserted, and I am still asking everywhere, you actually came and took the initiative to answer for me, that is Miao Baotian's station, oh, he is afraid of hardship and poverty, and chooses to let the world forget this place. ”

Shi Jingsun smiled.

Maybe it's the sympathy between the two.

Li Hu stretched out his hand, waited for him to come and high-five, and said lightly: "Deal." ”

Shi Jingsun couldn't believe it, and asked rhetorically: "This is the deal?" ”

Li Hu said, "Yes." And that's not all. I also have a suggestion for you, since the government has cleared the township, why don't you collect the land that you dare not plant anymore and use the fields to protect those fugitives? They give you food, and they serve you and provide you with soldiers...... You come to protect them and don't let them be displaced again. In this way, you will have income, and the military expenses you have borrowed can be paid off as soon as possible, and you will not have to worry about being pulled behind. ”

Shi Jingsun nodded.

He hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I know you're from over there." It's a pity. If you don't, you can come and do something big with your brother. ”

Li Hu laughed.

As soon as he heard the laughter, Li Hu asked him: "How much military money do you need?" ”

Shi Jingsun couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and said tentatively: "Fifty thousand taels." ”

He saw that Li Hu was a little moved, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Twenty thousand taels." 20,000 taels is enough. ”

After receiving Wufu Temple, Liu Guanglu asked himself to send money and send 100,000 taels, and Shi Jingsun raised military expenses, and only needed 50,000 taels to open his mouth, and he could change his mouth to 20,000 taels when he saw the opportunity......

Presumably this number was also calculated by him.

In this world, money seems to be very wrong.

20,000 taels can solve the livelihood of an army for a long time, but it is not enough to take over a project from the government.

Li Hu said: "Loan you 100,000." For a period of five years, the interest is Jinpo City, how about it? I don't know if you've seen it or not, what has become of Jinpo City, the ruins and broken walls. ”

According to the loan market, one cent of interest is 10,000 yuan per year, and 50,000 yuan in five years.

Li Hu sighed in his heart that Jinpo City was cheap, and he must know that once this road can be connected to the Yuyang River Valley, just smuggling war horses and leather goods will quickly return to profit.

However, Shi Jingsun trembled.

With an interest of 50,000 taels, Li Hu only needs a mound?

And he was originally given to him for nothing, could it be that in Jinpo City, compared to Miao Baotian, the military value he saw was doubled by Li Hu?

Shi Jingsun was afraid that Li Hu would regret it, so he responded quickly: "Deal!" ”

Immediately, he hesitated again and asked softly, "Li Hu." Can you settle down. Do you want to ask for instructions, you ask for instructions, even if you ask for instructions, it doesn't matter, I can wait for a while. ”

Li Hu said, "No. You can sign it today, and remember, you have to get your official seal stamped. In this way, if you fall, I will not ask your children and grandchildren for a son, but please cherish it. Don't be easily ousted by others because I don't ask your children and grandchildren for it. ”

Shi Jingsun was taken aback.

With an official seal?

Is it a traitor?

Shi Jingsun was afraid of suffering, so he said quickly: "Then you also use the official seal." ”

Li Hu agreed: "Okay. ”

He added: "Brother. Since we are going to sign today, and we have a common secret, I will help you with all my might, and you will have unimaginable support, horses, armor, and ordnance...... I could also send Rhinos to train an army for you, but it all comes at a cost. These costs may or may not be possible for you, but I am willing to take the risk. One of the costs is that you have the strength to ensure that we can take back the Northern Plains, and the second cost is that after you get everything you want, you must ensure that you protect the original intention of protecting Li Shu and allowing them to farm with peace of mind. Once you can't, everything you've gained will be lost. Losing is not necessarily for me to take, you know, the mountains and rivers are the most precious things in the world, and only those who are virtuous can live in it. ”

Shi Jingsun trembled and said, "Who are you?" ”

Li Hu said lightly: "I am Li Hu." Di Zonghu. Every word I say can be assured to you on behalf of Dongxia. And you, you don't need to make any guarantees to me, my invincible strength in Dongxia is the best guarantee. I hope you won't be repenting now. ”
