Of course, this is not the emperor's stinginess, this money should not be spent on personnel training at all, and the money for training should be applied for separately, but before he could apply, he was thrown into the custody of Nanzhen Fusi on the first day.

"Lord Kuang, can you think of some of the start-up funds that the emperor gave you, I promise to return them as soon as possible in the future, and I will never embarrass Mr. Kuang." Cao Huateng didn't say a word about it, and finally said what he meant.

"Master Cao, you also know what I am doing here, now I have recruited 20,000 people, how much silver will I get for eating and drinking every day, and what about other expenses, what is the use of 40,000 taels of silver. I've bottomed out here, if it weren't for the guilt now, I would have applied for funding from the palace a long time ago, what should I do here next, I haven't thought about it yet, it all depends on the emperor's intentions. "And he began to cry poor.

"20,000 people, Lord Kuang, the establishment of a guard is only about 5,500 people, how can you recruit so many people?" Cao Huateng hadn't paid attention to this matter before.

"The emperor has set me such a high standard, how to choose people, only by selecting more, and then training, and then selecting outstanding talents, can this meet the emperor's standards."

"But the emperor should give you additional training funds, and the start-up funds are not used for this." Cao Huateng said.

"That's what I said, but I was imprisoned before I started here, how can I apply?" Besides, he lamented in anguish.

Cao Huateng's heart was cold, his feelings for this brother are more bitter than himself, so what kind of silver do you borrow. If you want to say that it is still Qin Duanming, it is not that he is tossing around, and he will not be supervised, so there is no reason to shirk it.

Cao Huateng really wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too rude, so he had to sit patiently and talk for a while.

"Brother, I really don't know your situation, I thought you were a rich man."

"Yes, I'm a negative loser, but the pension payment is not something that can be done in a day or two, if I can apply for excess funds, I will do my best to deal with Lord Cao's affairs." Besides, hurry up and send the empty favor.

"Thank you, that's enough."

Cao Huateng also knew that this was impossible, and besides, the pit dug here was too big, and there was no amount of silver to fill, so where would there be excess silver.

Both of them were vain and wronged, Cao Huateng left in a huff, and went to find silver elsewhere.

Besides, he sneered in his heart: he didn't know those people at all, why did he care about their pension money, he didn't have a sense of belonging to Jinyiwei now, he was forced to join Jinyiwei, just like he was forced to enter the capital.

He said to donate 5,000 taels, knowing that Cao Huateng would not dare to accept it, otherwise this head would be opened, and other commanders would not be able to donate it.

"What is this guy doing again?" Zhou Dingcheng asked.

"Borrow money."

"Borrowing money? What is he borrowing money for, and he is not the master of the lack of money? ”

Besides, when he said this, Zhou Dingcheng said disdainfully: "If you want to look good on your face, you have to take other people's gold and wipe it on your face, what kind of golden bodhisattva is it?" He was too embarrassed to speak, too self-righteous. ”

"Don't talk about him, don't we also see a shortage of silver?" Besides.

"It's like, we're nervous enough." When Zhou Dingcheng said this, his face became a bitter melon.

"How many days can the silver in your hand last?" Besides, he asked.

"It's not enough for a few days, how can it support about a month, this is still according to the standard of 50,000 people, if the number is small, it can hold on for a few more days."

"20,000 people get a lot of money to eat and drink a day, right?" Besides, he asked.

He didn't know anything about these things, he never asked about food and drink at home, and he didn't know how much rice or meat was.

"This doesn't take much, it's all a big pot of food, as long as there is some meat at each meal, no one will complain, and in the future, when the training intensity is high, you have to increase the meat, otherwise the physical strength will not be able to support it, and the cost will increase at that time." Now everyone has only a few cents of silver a day for food. ”

"So little?" And I was surprised.

"Less? Others don't know the price of firewood and rice, you don't know the price at all, now the silver is worth much, the rice, flour, oil and salt are not worth much, you think that these people spend as much money as you, in that case, the court would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. Zhou Dingcheng sneered.

"yes, I'm not too extravagant." Moreover, I sincerely conducted a self-examination.

"I can't talk about luxury, in fact, we don't spend much money on living expenses at home, and I can't use up my money by relying on your command, as for these big expenses outside, sometimes there is no way to do it, and I can't blame you for being extravagant." Zhou Dingcheng is very understanding of him and very tolerant.

Besides, he nodded again and again, he actually didn't take charge of the family's expenses, Xiao Nier has always been in charge of these, he just does his own thing, anyway, he has never lacked silver, mainly because he made a few huge fortunes and became a veritable nouveau riche.

At this moment, Zhao Yang came, and as soon as he came in, he shouted loudly: "Brother, you know, you Jinyiwei are unlucky." ”

Besides, he smiled angrily: "Second brother, you can't pick a place to speak, this is the yamen of Jinyiwei." ”

Zhao Yang came to his senses and said with a smile: "I didn't mean you, I just heard about it, what's going on?" ”

Besides, he smiled: "I don't know how the specific thing happened, and now those people haven't come back yet, I have to wait for them to come back, and the court will do a detailed investigation to know the specific process." ”

"Some people say that the Tartars sent an elite detachment in order to retaliate, and some people say that they are pirates, and there are all kinds of theories, I don't know which one to believe." Zhao Yang said.

"Then I don't believe any of them, they are all unreliable." Besides.

"What's that credible statement?"

"I don't know yet, I'll tell you when I know." Besides.

"Isn't this nonsense?" Zhao Yang snorted coldly angrily.

"You still came here to inquire about the news, your father is the Metropolitan Governor, he must know the inside story." Zhou Ding became enlightened.

"My dad doesn't know that this time the imperial court and Jinyiwei have blocked the news very tightly." Zhao Yang said.

"It's not a blockade, and they don't know the details." Besides, to sum up.

They discussed this matter in the office, and the leaders outside were also talking about it, all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, and finally everything was said, the most outrageous thing was that Jinyiwei lacked virtue and did too much, and this time it was damned.

If according to the usual actions of the Jinyi guards, it is not an exaggeration to say that they were punished by God, but it is a pity that God has always closed his eyes and does not care about mundane things at all.

At this time, a clerk from the Fusi Division of Beizhen came in and bowed down and said, "My lord, my lord Liu is invited." ”

Besides, when he heard Liu Shouyou, he was angry and said angrily: "Want to see me? You go back to your Lord Liu, and let him bring the holy decree to arrest me, otherwise I won't have time to see him. ”

The official smiled: "Lord Liu knows that you will say this, but this time there is really something important. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's for your funds, Lord Liu said that if you want silver, please go over, otherwise he will return to the palace."

Besides, it's really a little embarrassing, he just doesn't want to see this Liu Shouyou, but he lacks silver, especially since he is now locked up in Nanzhen Fusi, and it is not easy to apply for funds.

"You go and get the funds back." Moreover, he became enlightened to Zhou Ding.

"I'm going?" Zhou Dingcheng felt that he had heard it wrong.

"Even if you go, do you still need to go out in person to get a silver ticket?" Besides, he said proudly.

"Okay, I'll go."

Zhou Dingcheng stubbornly followed the clerk to the office of Liu Shouyou, the Fusi of Beizhen.

"This little guy is so grudgeful, he won't see me anymore?" Liu Shou has a way.

Zhou Dingcheng was embarrassed, there was nothing to say, and he couldn't say that either side was not.

"It makes sense for me to let him come in person, but I know that you are the person he trusts the most, and it doesn't hurt to hand it over to you, but you must remember that no third person is allowed to know, remember." Speaking of which, Liu Shouyou's voice was very low.

Zhou Dingcheng was stunned, what is the situation, isn't it a silver ticket, why don't you dare to let others know, sneaky, is the silver ticket dying when you see the light?

Zhou Dingcheng took an envelope with Liu Shouyou's secret written on it.

Liu Shouyou instructed, "Remember, there is a note under the silver ticket, this note was found from the corpses of some dead brothers outside the city, Lord Zhang Whale risked death to send it, I will risk death now to pass it on to Lord Guo, how about it, my sincerity is enough." ”

"Enough, enough, enough. It's such a buddy. ”

Zhou Dingcheng was so frightened that he was a little speechless.

Note? What kind of note is so important, Zhang Whale and Liu Shouyou have to risk their lives to transmit it to what's more?

"If you read the note, you will burn it immediately, and you must not let anyone see it, otherwise Lord Zhang and my head will have to move. Tell Lord Guo that he is in danger this time, and Lord Zhang Juzheng may not be able to protect him. Think of saving yourself, or ...... Escape. Just kidding, I really don't want him to move from Nanzhen Fuji to my North Town. Liu Shouyou said in a low voice.

Zhou Dingcheng heard that his soul was full of death, and he almost fell to the ground.

Liu Shouyou said that ghost stories must be good hands, his words are more terrifying than terrifying ghost stories, and the actual situation is actually similar.

"You go back, this is the emperor's fund of 50,000 taels of silver to Lord Kuang, tell him to save flowers, and the emperor's silver did not fall from the sky, and there is a sentence to tell that kid that he can't hide from me for the rest of his life." Liu Shouyou said and laughed.

Zhou Dingcheng couldn't laugh, knowing that Liu Shou was hiding people's eyes, but he couldn't laugh a few times accordingly, he was already stunned.

Zhou Dingcheng pretended to be calm and walked back slowly, he didn't dare to go fast, lest he accidentally fall, and the envelope was even more clutched in his hand.

"The silver ticket back?" Besides, he asked.

"Got it back. Zhao Yang, you go out and help me Zhang Luo Zhang Luo, I'll say a few words to the situation. Zhou Dingcheng said to Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang is also a well-behaved person, and immediately understood that this was an important matter for the two to discuss privately, and he agreed to go out to preside over the assessment.

"What's wrong?" Besides, he quickly asked.

"Something is wrong." Zhou Ding became enlightened.

"What's the matter?"

"It could be something that requires you to run for your life right away."
