Sending off the messenger, Bailiyan (also Wei Xian) drove to the Guangxin Mansion to ask for equipment and grass.

Guangxin's official warehouse has only more than 90,000 stone of grain, more than 40,000 stone of military food, and it seems that it is enough to raise soldiers in a short period of time, but more than 700,000 mouths, trapped in the city to eat, drink and Lazar have not yet landed, especially the refugees who fled into the city from various counties and villages, almost penniless, these need to be helped, and it is difficult to sustain only by relying on the material reserves of the official warehouse.

As Jiang Min's actual fiefdom, the administrative capacity of the local government is almost negligible, and 890% of all the local taxes go into the pockets of the Guangxin government, and the rest is used to maintain the daily maintenance expenses of the government department of the Guangxin government, and only a small part of it is the income that goes into the treasury.

The expansion of the army and the compensation for casualties that began last year have directly drained the local finances, and all counties and counties are counting on the subsidy money from the Lingling side to raise the troops. But few people know that the war has only lasted for a year, and that there is very little left of the treasury of Chenling at this time and is on the verge of bankruptcy, and it is not known where the money and grain will come from after this year and next year.

The iron rooster of Guangxin Mansion, if it is not plucked, it is simply intolerable.

When I came to the public mansion, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense, two sentry posts were added inside and outside, and the number of armored soldiers patrolling was also doubled compared to yesterday.

"Young Master, Mr. Chen, General Wei has arrived."

The steward entered the house to report the news of Bailiyan's arrival, and Jiang Qian was silent for a moment and said:

"Bring him here."

"No."

The steward turned to leave, and Chen Yunfeng said:

"Wei Xian must have come here for the ordnance and horses, how is the young master going to deal with him?"

"Let's see what he's going to say."

"Then do you want to invite the county lord to come over?" Chen Yunfeng suggested.

"Let Miss Xiao and Miss Xiao Er come over together."

"My subordinates will do it immediately."

Chen Yunfeng left for a while, and Bai Liyan came to the atrium hall, but saw that Jiang Qian was the only one, and couldn't help but wonder:

"Young master, where is Brother Yunfeng?"

"Mr. Chen will be here in a moment, General Wei, please take a seat."

"Young Master Xie."

Baili Yan gave a slight salute and sat down, Jiang Qian continued:

"The scout has just come to report, and no trace of the rebels has been found, so I don't know how General Wei plans to defend against the enemy?"

"Wei is here for this."

"Oh, I'd like to hear about it."

"The young master will not think that Guangxin City is high and deep, and he is not afraid of the rebel army of 150,000 soldiers and horses besieging the city."

"What does General Wei mean?"

"Wei Mou said it bluntly, Wei Mou's army is in short supply, especially lack of food, grass and ordnance, when this is in danger, the young master will not wait to leave it to the rebels."

"General Wei understands what he means, but General Wei can't take such a huge amount of grain and grass from the mansion for no reason, can he?"

"Then the young master still wants to expand the army?"

"It depends on what General Wei does."

Jiang Qian didn't give an inch, and the atmosphere was-for-tat at the beginning, which made Bai Liyan very tricky.

It just so happened that Jiang Rong, Xiao Chunyu, Xiao Er, and Tang Tao came quietly, although the appearance of the four was not unexpected, but their appearance at this meeting suddenly added a little pressure.

"Yo, isn't this General Wei, what's the matter, this look is a debt owed by my father-in-law to General Wei."

Jiang Rong opened her mouth, and immediately made Bailiyan speechless, and couldn't help but scold Chen Yunfeng in her heart, you just pout.

At this time, Xiao Chunyu and Xiao Er took two steps forward, and Xiao Chunyu and Tang Tao saluted:

"Xiao Chunyu and Tang Tao have met General Wei."

"Two girls are exempt."

Xiao Chunyu's eyes were shy, her cheeks were slightly red, and Tang Tao's eyebrows on the side smiled and revealed two tiger teeth, which were very cute, and the two of them bowed, and then stepped aside. Xiao Er is still the same, generous, I haven't seen her for a long time, but she has a little more ladylike atmosphere.

"Brother Wei is still leaving this time?"

"Not for now. When the rebels are repulsed, the eldest brother will take you to the capital. ”

"I heard that Chenling is quite chaotic."

"It's a bit messy, but it's getting better. You and Miss Xiao and Miss Tang will go to the seat for a while, and the eldest brother has something to discuss with the young master and the county lord. ”

"Hmm."

When he was young, the servants brought a few pots of ice, and the hot air was suddenly much cooler. Although the industries in the deserted village have been moved to Chenling, the ice-making industry is still the source of Bailiyan's huge profits from Guangxin, after all, the income of a few or more than a dozen inches of silver every day has accumulated into a lot, and it is still a rich source of income in a year.

As soon as Jiang Rong took a seat, she opened her mouth and talked nonsense, which made Bai Liyan very embarrassed:

"The lord of this county heard that General Wei won a battle in Shaoping and killed the rebels, but how come it has been less than a month, how did the rebels regroup and kill Guangxin, does General Wei know?"

"Although the battle of Shaoping is a big victory, the more lucky it is, the more it fails, it fails to hit the rebels hard, and the county lord said that the regrouping is the rebels of the Yongxing River going north, and the battle of Shaoping is two different things."

"Two different things, then General Wei is sitting in Guangxin, that's a different thing, what is General Wei's good strategy for retreating from the enemy?"

Bai Liyan's cheeks twitched secretly, and she couldn't take off the shoes on her feet and stuff them in this woman's mouth. Suppressing the impulse in his chest, Bailiyan said:

"Isn't this a plan with the young master?"

The words were immediately thrown to Jiang Gan, and Jiang Qian said quietly:

"General Wei, my Guangxin Mansion is also a lineage of the Jiang family, and they are all Jiang family's country, how can I sit idly by. But sometimes you can't help but take precautions, like General Wei who is in Guangxin today and will go to Chengling tomorrow, you are not allowed to turn your face one day, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

"Young master, Wei has done everything he can do for the Guangxin Army, is it possible that he still thinks about the rebellion in Chenling, so that Wei will not be saved when he sees death. Let's talk about it, but don't think about expanding the army. ”

"General Wei is embarrassing this son."

"I don't mean that. Young master, there were only more than 200,000 soldiers in the Xian army back then, and now the Guangxin army has expanded by 10,000 troops, and there are nearly 50,000 people, accounting for a quarter, even if Wei can agree, can King Xian agree. ”

"But wouldn't it be nice to be flexible?"

"Flexible?" Bailiyan was surprised: "What kind of workaround?" ”

Chen Yunfeng said at this time:

"General Wei is now a vanguard general, with 10,000 posts under his command, but everyone knows that General Wei is a popular man in front of the king, and it is possible to become the governor of the capital or even a high position in the future. Therefore, why can't the new Guangxin Army be incorporated into the name of General Wei? ”

"What, you want Wei to raise Guangxin's soldiers."

"Exactly!"

Chen Yunfeng smiled slyly and replied with two words affirmatively. For the first time, Bai Liyan felt that Chen Yunfeng was so cunning. came to test your bottom line in the morning, but in fact, you already had a way to deal with it, and waited for yourself to reveal your bottom line.

"Brother Yunfeng, this is a big crime of bullying the king, you are trapping Wei for being unkind and unjust."

"General Wei's words are wrong, the general is now the lord's son-in-law, the lord takes into account the safety of the general, and trains a team of men and horses to guard the general, isn't this okay."

"But 10,000 people, it's too much."

At this time, Jiang Qian interjected and said:

"General Wei is now the Sima of Guangxin City, so why not train another county soldier. When it becomes famous in the future, this county army will still be General Wei's pro-army, wouldn't it be better. ”

"Hmph, it's not so much to protect the general, it's better to say that Lawei went into the water."

If you really acquiesce to this 10,000-strong army of soldiers and horses, then the relationship with the Guangxin Army will not be washed even if you jump into the Yellow River, and this will not be the Yellow River for you to jump. But if he doesn't admit it, Jiang Qian really dares to pull out a dime.

"Young master, don't want the government's heavy money and food, Wei has taken his leave."

"General Wei is leaving?" Chen Yunfeng reminded.

"Why, is there still room for talk?"

"There is another matter, do you want to think about it?"

Bai Liyan blacked out in front of her eyes, and she hated the behavior of this former friend who fell into the well.

"What?"

"Although the lord is not here, after retreating from the enemy, the lord is bound to lead the army back to the division, and at that time, should General Wei consider the marriage with the county lord."

"Humph......"

Bai Liyan snorted lukewarmly, and looked at Jiang Rong at the next moment, Jiang Rong's heart was beating at the moment, her eyes were hot, and there was no shame in her eyes with some kind of excited desire, at this time Bai Liyan shook her sleeves and said coldly:

"Farewell, Xiao'er, let's go."

The two left on the front foot, and Jiang Rong said inexplicably:

"Hey, this Wei Xian, it's really rare to be the lord of this county!"

"Ahem...... Jiang Qian coughed and said: "Sister Rong, you are not too young, this marriage is related to the life and death of our clan, and Sister Rong must be willful." ”

"Brother, look at the look in his eyes just now, he clearly didn't take the little sister in his eyes." Jiang Rong pouted and said.

"Alas...... Sister Rong, do you know that in order to envelop Wei Xian, King Xian first married Yu Weixian, the lord of Xuanting, and then rewarded him with two beautiful maids as concubines, where can he still look at his little sister in his eyes. ”

"What, it's okay!"

Jiang Rong was taken aback, and couldn't help but think, you guys are still hiding this from me, he Wei Xian is crazy, I haven't passed the door yet, he dares to marry the younger one first, and there are still three, pinch your fingers and calculate that there is also Xiao Er and Xiao Chunyu, this is six people sharing a husband, and it will not turn the sky up in the future!

As soon as he got out of the mansion, a carriage stopped at the door, and Xiao Er was taken aback:

"Brother Wei, this four-wheeled carriage is really big."

"It's the chariot rewarded by the king, if Xiao Er likes it, the eldest brother will let you sit every day."

"Is this okay?"

"Nothing can't be done, get in the car."

"By the way, eldest brother, is the marriage between the eldest brother and the county lord real?"

"Why, Xiao Er is still afraid that the eldest brother will abandon Xiao Er."

Xiao Er's cheeks flushed, and she buried her head and twisted it for a long time:

"The eldest brother is really bad, he is married to the county lord, and he likes Miss Xiao, where can Xiao Er be worthy of the eldest brother."

Bai Liyan grabbed Xiao Er's little hand and said affectionately:

"Silly girl, in the heart of the eldest brother, Xiao'er is also a big brother woman."

Xiao Er's face was even more red, and she lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at those deep and powerful eyes.

"The eldest brother is really good at deceiving people, the eldest brother took a look at Miss Xiao, and stole people's hearts, and that little Tang is also a good big brother in three sentences, and he can't jump into the arms of the eldest brother, who knows how many catties and taels Xiao Er still has in the heart of the eldest brother."

"Tang Tao, this Nizi is very smart, if Xiao Er thinks she is good, the eldest brother will accept her as a young person in the future, how about being a companion for you."

"Ah, the eldest brother is really not ashamed, people haven't passed the door yet, and he is really ashamed to say such things."

Xiao Er covered her face with her hands and quickly got into the carriage, Bai Liyan had an indescribable feeling at this time, it was a man's ambition and a hero's pride. In short, the feelings of life bloom into gorgeous flowers, and at this time they are all in his arms, waiting for him to enjoy and moisturize.
