After returning from Ninghai, Chen Di told Chen Kezhen that he was going to Yiwu for a visit. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Kezhen really can't understand his "son", sometimes he is a dragon and a phoenix among the most intelligent people, and sometimes he has become a playful young man. That's it, anyway, Inoue Shishiro has not sold a large amount of goods recently, and the officials at all levels in Taizhou Mansion are in their own account books, and they are controlled by themselves in applause, so let his son go out to play!

Chen Di went to Yiwu not for fun. Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang have gone to Yiwu Yueyu. He estimated that the forty-five thousand taels of silver should be spent. Chen Kezhen gave him 120,000 taels of silver tickets, of which 50,000 taels were distributed to officials at all levels of the Taizhou government according to Chen Kezhen's orders, and the remaining 70,000 taels were just sent to Tang, Yu, and Qi to pay for the training of the new army.

Coincidentally, before Chen Di set off, the order of the Ministry of War to allow the formation of Taizhou regimental training also arrived.

Chen Di came to Yiwu with an edict and found Tang, Yu, and Qi. When the three of them saw Chen Di coming, they surrounded him like a savior.

Tang Shunzhi said: "My Governor Chen, you are here!" ”

Chen Di asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Shunzhi said: "Two thousand Ding Zhuang has been recruited. These batches of Ding Zhuang are all strictly selected according to your standard of three moves and seven no moves. It can't be said that it is one out of a thousand, but it is also one out of a hundred! ”

Chen Di said: "Isn't this quite smooth? ”

Yu Dayou shook his head and said: "Of course, when you have money, everything goes well, but the problem is that you don't have money now!" ”

Qi Jiguang also said: "Now two thousand Ding Zhuang want military uniforms without military uniforms, armor without armor, knives and guns without knives and guns, and firearms without firearms. Some people even wonder if we are human traffickers pretending to be officials of the imperial court! ”

Chen Di smiled: "I'm not the God of Wealth, and I don't have a golden finger, so I won't turn stones into gold。。。。。。。 ”

Tang Shunzhi asked: "My Governor Chen, this is all burning eyebrows, you still have the heart to joke." At the beginning of the preparation of the new army, the morale of the army was unstable, do you think this is a trivial matter? ”

Chen Di restrained his smile: "Okay." I'm not kidding. I have good news for this trip. There is bad news. Teacher, two brothers, do you want to hear the good news first, or the bad news first? ”

Yu Dayou said: "Let's listen to the good news first." ”

Chen Di said: "The good news is that the Ministry of War has approved our preparations for the establishment of Taizhou regimental training. and appointed Brother Yu as the commander, Mr. Tang as the commander and the second brother Qi as the commander. ”

Tang Shunzhi asked: "This is expected, Yan Cifu is also the secretary of the military department, he is your father-in-law, and he will naturally help you with this matter." The bad news? ”

Chen Di cried with a sad face: "Naturally, it's about money." ”

Tang Shunzhi asked Chen Di: "Can't raise military salaries?" ”

Yu Dayou said: "My God, third brother! You know, the more than 40,000 silver sent out is just the recruitment salary of this batch of recruits. It's been almost a month since the recruitment of new recruits, and the monthly salary will be paid soon, if the first month's monthly salary can't be paid, this group of recruits may scatter and run home! No money, no troops! ”

Chen Di suddenly burst out laughing.

Qi Jiguang was very clever, and he asked, "Third brother, are you teasing us?" ”

Chen Di smiled and said, "The bad news is that I only raised 70,000 taels of money!" ”

After speaking, Chen Di handed the 70,000 taels of silver ticket to Tang Shunzhi.

Tang Shunzhi took the silver ticket and said happily: "A lot, a lot, it's enough to solve the urgent need!" ”

Yu Dayou punched Chen Di in the chest: "Good third brother, you are in a hurry to break your brother and me!" ”

Yu Dayou's punch almost knocked Chen Di down.

Chen Di said: "Ha, I've already calculated it. Of the 70,000 taels, 30,000 taels were set aside for their first month's monthly salary. The remaining 40,000 taels were used to buy military uniforms, armor, swords and guns. ”

Qi Jiguang said: "Since the Ministry of War has already issued an order, let's prepare for the Taizhou regimental training." The military clothing, armor, swords, guns, and silver should be settled by the imperial court. ”

Chen Di shook his head: "It's difficult!" Don't forget, it's the household department that manages the money. Zhai Shoufu is also the head of the household! When Zhai Shoufu saw my father-in-law, he was like seeing an enemy who killed his father, can he happily transfer the money to the military department? Even if it can be allocated, layer by layer, how much skin will the yamen at all levels have to peel off? Can the rest of the money be sent to us? ”

Tang Shunzhi nodded: "You're right, it's better to rely on yourself than to ask for others!" ”

Chen Di also said: "It is urgent to form a new army! Can't afford to delay for a moment! The firearms allocated by the Ministry of War have not yet been shipped to Zhejiang. Alas, our yamen at all levels in the Ming Dynasty are like the old ox pulling a broken car, very slow. You don't know, I recently went to Ninghai County. The Japanese invaded Ninghai, and I saw with my own eyes countless corpses of villagers all over the field! I get goosebumps when I think about it. ”

Yu Dayou clenched his fists: "Damn, these damn wokes!" I hate to cut them with a thousand cuts! ”

Chen Di said: "After purchasing military clothes, armor, swords and guns, you will immediately let the recruits practice the Eight Formations of the Iron Bucket King!" Maybe one day this new army will be pulled out to fight! ”

Tang Shunzhi said: "You can rest assured of this. When it comes to military training, Commander Yu is an expert. ”

Yu Dayou patted his chest and said, "Third brother, don't worry, eldest brother, I will only do two things in my life." One is to train troops, and the other is to fight! ”

Chen Di said: "Then please everyone!" ”

Tang Shunzhi asked Chen Di suspiciously: "Didn't you just say that you are not the God of Wealth, you don't have a golden finger, and you can't turn stones into gold?" Where did you get the 70,000 taels of silver? ”

Chen Di said: "Teacher, I still have the old saying, don't care where the money comes from, as long as it is used on the right path!" ”

Tang Shunzhi heard this, knowing that Chen Di was unspeakable, so he didn't ask anymore.

Chen Di said: "Let's go, let's take a look at the newly recruited recruit Ding Zhuang!" ”

More than 2,000 recruits Ding Zhuang stood in line, and Chen Di really looked like a tall man with bright eyes.

Chen Di pulled up the palm of a recruit Ding Zhuang, and saw that the palm was full of calluses, and he looked like he was born as a farmer.

Chen Di nodded with satisfaction, and said to Tang Shunzhi: "These recruits have a spirit. ”

Tang Shunzhi said: "That's natural, and with a good salary, you can naturally recruit good soldiers." ”

Qi Jiguang said: "Third brother, you don't know, these two thousand people, each of them was entered by us with a nod of our own head. ”

Chen Di arched his hand to the three of them: "It's hard work for the three of you." ”

Chen Di saw that it was not too early, and said to the three of them: "Taizhou Mansion still has a big mess of things." I'm Song Jiang in time, I have to leave after I send you money! ”

Yu Dayou said: "Let's stay for a day and then leave!" ”

Tang Shunzhi said meaningfully: "Don't stop him, he is in a hurry to go back to Taizhou to make money, so that he can train a new army for us!" ”

Chen Di laughed after hearing this: "Those who know me, Teacher Tang too!" ”
