Because of the war, a large number of merchants fled, and without commerce, taxes could not be collected, and Ran Fei had reduced many agricultural taxes before, and the peasants were getting better and better, but the government's life was getting more and more difficult. Fiscal deficits are frequent.

As a part-time military staff officer to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the military adviser is busy with tax issues. After a long time, he couldn't take it anymore and fell ill in bed.

Ran Fei was shocked, and immediately went to the military division's mansion to visit him, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw that the military division's housekeeper was sending the doctor away. Zhang Dali hurriedly asked the housekeeper: "How is the military advisor?" ”

The housekeeper was drunk, and Ran Fei stopped Zhang Dali: "Don't do this, it will scare the housekeeper." ”

Zhang Dali: "Uh-huh! ”

The housekeeper pointed to the doctor next to him and said, "This is the doctor, he just came out." ”

Ran Fei: "What's the situation?" ”

The doctor said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that he's old and very tired, so I'm tired, I'll prescribe some medicine for him, let him rest more, rest for half a month, and he will be fine." ”

Ran Fei said: "It's okay if people are fine!" ”

Zhang Dali was shocked: "That's okay!" There was a pause: "So what should I do?" If the military advisor is not there, how can the finances be handled? I'm short of money everywhere now! ”

Ran Fei: "I have to find someone to take up the finances, let's go, go and see the military advisor first!" ”

Zhang Dali: "En! ”

Ran Fei and Zhang Dali walked to the bed of the military advisor, who had regained consciousness and was able to speak at this moment, but he couldn't get up because of his weak body. Ran Fei stepped forward and shook his hand: "Strategist, how are you feeling now?" Are you better? ”

The military advisor said: "It's much better, I was so tired at the time, I didn't expect my eyes to go black all of a sudden." When I woke up, I saw the housekeeper and the doctor. ”

Ran Fei: "You're too tired these days, it's because I don't think about it well, and now I'm in financial difficulties, but the burden is all on you alone." It's me who is wrong. ”

Strategist: "Eh! You are all good generals, and you don't understand these things. When I was in Jiulong Mountain, I was in charge of the accounts, practice makes perfect, and I was just competent. It's okay, you can rest assured, you can continue to work tomorrow. ”

Ran Fei sternly stopped: "No, the doctor said, you have to rest for half a month, you can't be tired anymore, losing you, it's like losing an arm, you can't have any damage." ”

The military advisor's eyes were a little moist, and he didn't say anything. Ran Fei continued: "Do you have any recommended candidates?" ”

The military advisor thought about it and said: "I haven't thought about this matter, at present, I can't find a suitable person, the Xie family is an expert in money, and there are many good methods, but you also know that their family is a business family, if this position is given to the Xie family, then it will be ...... in the future."

Ran Fei heard the meaning of his words, and said: "No wonder when I was electing the Minister of Finance, I recommended the Xie family, but you were unwilling, and you took this matter on your own, thank you very much!" ”

The military advisor said: "We all came out of Jiulong Mountain, we have been bandits all our lives, and we finally have a foothold, and I will definitely try not to let others rob us." ”

Listening to the words of the military advisor, Zhang Dali and Ran Fei's eyes were moist. Ran Fei remembered many of his brothers before, especially Lian Zhan's words: "After being a bandit for so many years, now I can finally walk on the street in the open, and I still receive admiration." Ran Fei's tears flowed out. Ran Fei swore in his heart that he would never let the slightest problem arise in the military advisor.

"Don't worry about the candidate, I won't give it to the Xie family."

As soon as the military advisor fell ill, many people ran out and wanted to be the Minister of Finance, such as Zhang Dali's cousin Li Ru, Yuan Qi's cousin Yuan Hua, and Xie Xuan's younger brother Xie Ming came to Ran Fei through Xie Yu's recommendation. Finance is the foundation of a country, there is no tax, the government has no money, everything is nonsense, and today's government is already in debt.

Ran Fei convened a meeting of all the high-level officials to discuss the issue of the Chancellor's personnel: "This matter is related to our long-term development in the future, and everyone should not be selfish, speak in fairness and express their opinions." ”
