Chapter 144: An Unexpected Gain
Yes, even if it is a strong army, what can it do, so many brothers have been lost in vain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He Lao Liu also remembered that over the years, the people around him who have been disappearing, they have all died in battle.
"Everyone in this place, bury them on the spot, we can often see them when we come here to work in the future," Yang Quan's words made everyone gloomy
Yang Quan picked up a knife on the ground first, and began to dig on the ground, and many soldiers also stepped forward, and some even had no tools, just digging on the ground with their hands. And the young man named Xia Liu stared blankly at a soldier lying on the ground, his eyes red. He tore off a piece of his shirt and wiped the man's face clean, and then, one by one, he walked over and gently wiped the blood and dirt off the faces of the soldiers on the ground.
"Come on, write down the names of these brothers who died in battle, if I Yang Quan eats for a day, I can't treat them badly!" Yang Quan's eyes were also a little moist.
But at this time, Yang Quan suddenly remembered, where did that annoying Chen Ye go? He is the deputy envoy of the Tuntian Division, these accounts should go through him, I haven't seen this person for a long time, isn't it just in the chaos, he was killed by those horse bandits in the chaotic army? Yang Quan was in a hurry, and hurriedly ran towards the messy corpse of the horse bandit in the distance. Yang Quan remembered that the battle was quite fierce at the beginning, and if something happened to Chen Ye, it should be here. But Yang Quan vigorously opened the corpses one by one and searched for most of the battlefield, but there was still no Chen Ye.
"My lord, the brothers have been buried, should we go back?" Hou Qi didn't know when he came to Yang Quan's side,
Yang Quan stood up straight and rubbed his sore waist, "It seems that this Chen Ye is really dead, forget it, you can go back with your brothers." Leave me a few people, I'm looking for them, if it really doesn't work, just find someone to bury them, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the superintendent."
"Ahem, they all say that you Yang Quan is a good person, and you can do this. It's a shame to me, Chen Ye still wants to help you wholeheartedly with you later. A corpse next to him was turned aside, and I saw Chen Ye sitting out of the middle of these corpses with a bloody face.
"Since Deputy Envoy Chen did not die on the battlefield, it is just right, now we still have a lot of things to do in the Tuntian Division, the damaged dung truck needs to be repaired, the brothers who died in battle need to be registered, and the bereavement pension in the back must also keep up, all of which depend on Deputy Envoy Chen." Yang Quan said, pulled Chen Ye out of the corpse, and looked at him with a sincere face.
Chen Ye sighed, "You are a ruffian, I look like this, you don't first see if I'm injured, you found me just to let me work." Forget it, who made me your subordinate,"
As he spoke, he took out a carbon strip from his bag and drew it on the roots.
Yang Quan breathed a sigh of relief and found another Chen Ye, and there was no one dead between them, which more or less made Yang Quan a lot happier.
"Oh, by the way, do you still expect a bereavement for the fallen soldiers? I'll reply to you for the superintendent first, there is no money to ask for, this time the superintendent is here, although the emperor is trying his best to allocate military funds, but now the warehouse of the household department can run mice, and the silver taels are not enough for the janitor to pay for a meal, so let's be self-reliant, or simply owe these fees first, and when we have enough money, it's not too late to give them up," Chen Ye, who bowed his head and wrote something, said without raising his head.
"What? Don't have any money up there? Yang Quan turned around and asked in astonishment.
Chen Ye glanced at Yang Quan with disdain, obviously a little impatient with Yang Quan's ignorant attitude, "Do you think today's adults are very rich?" Or do you think that the current Ming court is rich? There is no need to hide this, everyone in the world knows it. “
For example, you can apply for a quota of 100 people, but only 50 people are actually used, and the remaining 50 places can be intercepted, for example, this Xuanfu is more than ten miles to the north, which is the territory of the Tartars, as long as you send a caravan to the territory of the Tartars, the income will be a lot, and in a step back, we can also set up cards in Yanbian and collect some fees for buying roads, generally speaking, those rich people who go to the side do not care about our little money......
"Enough!" Yang Quan looked at Chen Ye and shouted, "Eating empty salaries and collaborating with the enemy, this crime is very big, I Yang Quan can't afford it, if I really make money, I, Yang Quan, want to be upright, and earn it without harming the interests of the people of the country, I will never do such a thing!" ”
Chen Ye looked at Yang Quan's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and smiled bitterly, "Yes, if you don't want to do it, you won't do it, let's talk about it later." However, right now, the Lord is in urgent need of money, and before the Inspector left, he did not let his brothers clean the battlefield, which is what the Master Inspector left for us,"
"Eh, what the Overseer left for us? But what is the use of leaving so many dead bodies? Yang Quan looked at the hideous corpse on the ground in a daze, and looked at Chen Ye with a stunned expression.
At this time, Chen Ye couldn't help but hold his forehead, "What are you doing?" The belongings of this horse bandit are all hidden on his body, and so many horse bandits have died on the ground, do you say that he is rich? I said, "If the horse dies on the ground, the meat of the dead horse cannot be bought and sold?"
Yang Quan suddenly realized, but then he was completely speechless for the court of the Ming Dynasty, can he force the national army to find money by himself, can the world not rebel? How can the army be combat-ready.
But looking at the corpse, Yang Quan took the few people under his command and began to rummage on the pile of corpses, sure enough, this horse bandit has a large amount of silver hidden on his body, and after a rough calculation, among the twenty or thirty horse bandit corpses around here, a few hundred taels of silver were actually found, if you count the dead horses on the ground, there is also a lot of income, but the live horses here have been taken away by Lu Xiangsheng's people, after all, the army of the Ming Dynasty, what is most lacking is the war horse.
"Xia Liu, you have peeled all these dead horses, roasted them into jerky, and brought them to this city to see if they can be sold for a good price." Yang Quan stretched his waist and instructed Xia Liu on the side.
"Yes, my lord," Xia Liu responded, taking a few people to pack up the dead horse, only to see him pinching a dagger found from the corpse, slashing on the stomach of the dead horse, snorting, and gently and skillfully disemboweling the horse. But the next scene startled the people around him. I saw that in the belly of the disemboweled horse, the colorful internal organs were wriggling, and there seemed to be something struggling inside.
Only Xia Liu was left in front of the dead horse, and he saw him gently pick it with a dagger, and the horse's internal organs were cut open, revealing a purple ball, "This horse is pregnant, and there is a foal in it!" ”
