Xia Zongxiao and Shopkeeper Gu glanced at each other, and they both felt helpless and funny, thinking that the little dice had gone too far. But no one said anything to stop him.

After all, this kind of daily trivial things to serve the prince are handled by the little dice, the little dice began to serve the king when he was ten years old, and it has been a full ten years now, and he has only been favored by the prince in the last six years from a powerless and powerless palace steward, and has become a real and unknown big housekeeper in the palace, and even the prince's subordinate officials sent to the palace by the court are respectful and polite to him.

But after all, Gu Mancang is a human spirit mixed up at the bottom of society, what he can manage and what he can't, he knows very well in his heart.

Xia Zongxiao just smiled and shook his head, poured himself a cup of cold tea to quench his thirst and refresh himself, and sighed in his heart, the cleanliness of the little dice has become more and more serious in the past two years, and Xiao Gannong's old goods are not shallow......

Ignoring the busy little dice, Xia Zongxiao raised his hand and motioned for Gu Mancang to move a chair and sit beside him.

It was getting late, although he liked to play when he was in Bianjing, but he had already rested at this hour, and the time to sleep was still very punctual, and he had already fallen asleep at the beginning of the hour, and at three o'clock in the morning, he had two or three dreams of Huangliang at this time.

He has never tried to sleep so late, even in previous years, when Chinese New Year's Eve he kept the New Year, he only meant that he would still go to bed on time, because he remembered that Xuande Lao Dao had said to him that sleeping was the most nourishing for people, and working and resting on time was very beneficial to the way of health preservation......

The barn was still piled up with the smiling face that had not changed for thousands of years, and the honest and fat body on the face leaned forward with great effort, sitting and listening respectfully.

"Tonight, I will appoint Sun Shilu as the commander of the guard, Zeng Yi as the commander of the left guard, and Wan Sanguang as the commander of the right guard. The duties of the Guard Command Department are all filled in by Sun Shilu and their discretion, you take the time to go to Sun Shilu to have a look, and the departments such as the Experience Division give him more advice, after all, you have been responsible for these things in the past few years, take a good handover, and the rest of the three guards will also be replenished to the regular army, and the three big treasurers of your palace must cooperate well with the food and miscellaneous items in the future..."

Although Gu Mancang was surprised and surprised when he heard Xia Zongxiao say that he had officially appointed Sun Shilu and others, it was understandable, he had long known that this was a matter of time, but when he heard that the rest of the army from all households had been added to the main army?

Suddenly, the fat on his face trembled, and the rest of the army was replenished to the regular army! What does this mean, he, the big treasurer who actually controls most of the income of the palace, knows best!

At present, there are a total of 6,319 people in the army of the three guards of the king, and the surplus of food and salary is more than 80,000 guan (stone) per year, plus half of the rest of the army, and the surplus is also more than 80,000 guan (stone).

Moreover, the number of surplus soldiers is more than twice that of the regular army, and if they are all replenished to the regular army, then the cost of normal food and salary alone will reach 240,000 guan (stone) of food and salary per year. There are all kinds of things like extra rewards, coupons, firewood and carbon money... Wait, wait, the most terrible white tiger armor and Baimo knife, he knows his own prince for many years, these armor weapons must be equipped with the whole army...

The white tiger armor will cost a full hundred taels of silver, and it will cost more than 110 pairs to convert it into copper coins. There are fewer gold and silver mines in the Great Qin Dynasty, so the value of these precious metals will generally rise more than the price of copper, and the exchange standards are also different in various places.

What about Baimo knife? You have to get 30 strokes for one handful!

In this way, the basic armament alone flew nearly two million copper coins, which could pile up a hill of lotus ponds in the backyard of the palace. Rao is grain is full of warehouses, and he was also startled when he saw the big scene.

The prince has not yet sealed the feudal kingdom, these expenses have to be borne by the palace itself, and the imperial court is now empty of the treasury, there were only more than 6,000 people Wei Wang's personal guard salary silver is often deducted from arrears, and now more than 10,000 people have been made up at once, and the salary of the military department is not the same...... How many times has he only seen the faces of those military officials...

This expense is spent, Rao is the palace has accumulated a lot of wealth by relying on the frosting franchise over the years, and he can't help spending it like this, so he has to hurt his muscles and bones!

Besides, before his prince left Beijing, he didn't know what kind of madness he was going to make, and he was fined 500,000 taels of silver and 100,000 taels of gold by the emperor.

Seeing the smiling face of Gu Mancang's trembling fat disappearing, Xia Zongxiao knew what he was thinking in his heart, which was nothing more than the word money.

Gu Mancang wanted to say something, but Xia Zongxiao waved his hand to prevent him from speaking.

"I know what the Gu shopkeeper is worried about, the left and right are nothing more than a little wealth, flowers are spent, and I will also have a crown ceremony after the New Year, according to the ancestral prince's crown ceremony, you can seal the feudal state after the crown ceremony, and after the feudal domain, there will be fiefdom taxes to fill this gap. In the past few years, all parts of Great Qin have not been appeased, and the palace guards still have to be made up, and they can't be delayed any longer......"

Gu Mancang only thought about the problem of goods, and after Xia Zongxiao mentioned it, he realized that it was no longer possible to delay making up for the guards, so he could only nod helplessly.

"That's right!" Xia Zongxiao suddenly moved a few inches in the direction of Gu Mancang, and leaned in front of Gu Mancang's chubby face as if he wanted to say something personal, and lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "How did you listen to the things of the white night?" What about your preferences? What is the temperament? The most important thing is whether there is a hobby in that area......"

Gu Mancang saw that the prince was so private, and he also cooperated with him to lower his voice, like two enemy countries working on the street, "Go back to Your Highness!" The little one is like our palace's showcase in Shuozhou, he is originally from Jizhen, and the younger brother in the family also happens to be the personal guard in General Bai's tent, and he knows General Bai Ye very well......"

Gu Mancang slowly explained to Xia Zongxiao while recalling what others had told him in his mind: "...... As for the good of men's style? ”

Gu Mancang secretly glanced at Xia Zongxiao's face, which was more delicate than a woman, and said cautiously: "I haven't heard that General Bai Ye is as good as Longyang!"

However, General Bai Ye's affairs in Jizhen are really a lot! Not only are there two female guards around him all year round!

And every time the military camp was closed, he took his brothers to the most famous Qinglou Huancai Pavilion in Jizhen Town, which was hugged left and right.

General Bai is considered to be a thin-skinned and tender flesh among the warriors, and he has outstanding military achievements, martial arts are world-famous, and he is full of pride and fandelity and beauty, and he is very happy to come, so that many of his brothers are reluctant to go to the Qinglou with him, because as long as he is there, those sisters will gather around him like bees smelling honey, and they don't pay attention to others at all. ”

"I've heard of the little ones!" Speaking of this, Gu Mancang looked around like a thief, and a lewd smile appeared on his fat face that all men understand, "General Bai was once the tenth girl who slept with him at night in Huancai Pavilion!" ”

"So fierce?" Xia Zongxiao was shocked, and at the same time, an uneasy heart was slightly relieved. Since Bai Ye didn't have that kind of bad habits, Xia Zongxiao was relieved, and gradually the topic of conversation led to how to befriend Bai Ye and do what he liked......

In the flickering candles, a fat and a thin two heads came together, talking about the good thing is to gather talents and talents, and the ugly thing is to shoot other people's horses with profound significance, so that the bang of the fourth watch of the guard rang twice outside the tent, and Xia Zongxiao fell asleep in a daze under the persuasion of the little dice......
