readx;?“ Yes? Do you have to communicate with Captain Monta? If he makes a stumbling block, will he be in vain when he sends troops? Song Qi was surprised and said that he thought that the emperor agreed to borrow troops, and he could bypass the thorny Mengren. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Now I heard Zhan Dazhao say that he still had to communicate with him to transfer troops, and Song Qi immediately rushed to have a headache.

"Not really. With the emperor's will, Meng Taiwei did not dare to make an obstacle openly, and at most secretly resisted. Zhan Dazhao shook his head.

"Yes, I'm afraid he will secretly resist. Didn't he pretend to be sick and not go to court, and if he kept pretending to be sick, wouldn't he have been unable to mobilize troops? Song Qi said worriedly.

Zhan Dazhao shook his head and said, "This Brother Song doesn't have to worry. Even if Captain Montei pretends to be sick or secretly resists, we can still find the secretary of the military department. Although the secretary of the military department is a sworn friend of Captain Mengtai, he does not dare to disobey the emperor's will, unless he does not want to do it. Besides, even if Captain Montei and the secretary of the military department do not cooperate, we can directly transfer troops to various units according to the emperor's will, but in this way, it will take a little more time. ”

"So, when can we raise troops?" Song Qi sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

Zhan Dazhao thought for a while and said indifferently: "Under normal circumstances, it takes at least a month for 100,000 soldiers to send troops. Because before sending troops, it is necessary to prepare at least three months' food and grass and military salaries. This one takes a lot of time. Because Brother Song is responsible for the military salaries and grain and grass for this time, if you want to send troops as soon as possible, you must raise military salaries, grain and grass as soon as possible. At that time, even if the army is assembled, but the food and salary are not in place, I am afraid it will be difficult for the army to set off. ”

Song Qi had been a pioneer officer, and with a little mental arithmetic, he knew that an army of 100,000 people would consume 1,000 stone of grain and rice every day, a total of 90,000 stone for three months, and an army of 100,000 would be equipped with 5,000 horses, and consume 2,000 quintals of forage every day, and a total of 180,000 quintals of forage for three months. As for the silver, no matter how much he needed, there was no problem, and he still had nine million taels of gold in his ring, which was enough to feed an army of 100,000 men for a hundred years.

At the beginning, Song Qi proposed to raise his own food, and he had already made certain plans for food. He had two semicolons in Guangding Mansion and five semicolons in the entire Liang State, which was enough to raise 100,000 soldiers in ten days and half a month.

Song Qi thought about it and felt that it was impossible to raise troops within a day or two, whether it was to transfer troops or raise food, so he put the time of sending troops ten days later, and smiled at Zhan Dazhao and said: "I can raise the matter of grain and grass and military salaries within ten days." I don't know how much time it will take Brother Zhan to mobilize 100,000 soldiers at the earliest? ”

"100,000 can be raised?" Zhan Dazhao looked at Song Qi with incredulous eyes.

"Hmm. I tried to raise food in 10 days. Song Qi nodded. He hasn't gone to the semicolon to implement it yet, and it's not easy to say it all.

Zhan Dazhao heard Song Qi promise that he could raise food and salary in ten days, and said a little embarrassedly: "I will mobilize 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it will take fifteen days at the earliest." ”

When Song Qi heard this, he felt that fifteen days was too long, and he couldn't wait to send troops immediately, but he had no other good way, so he had to nod helplessly and salute Zhan Dazhao, "Please leave this matter to Brother Zhan!" ”

"Brother Song, then let's split up now. I went to Chongqing Qing, the squire of the military department, to discuss which troops to transfer; You should also go back and implement the issue of grain and grass. In the afternoon, I came to Mingzhu Compound to meet and communicate the process. Zhan Dazhao hugged Song Qi with a fist, then pulled the saddle and got on the horse and galloped away.

"Okay!" Song Qi saw that Zhan Dazhao was busy back and forth for his own affairs, and he was very moved. He thought in his heart that he must implement the grain and grass first, and don't drag himself back when the time comes. He tilted his head to Mao Yong and Wu Biao, and said in an eager tone: "Let's go, let's go to Guangding!" ”

Half an hour later, Song Qi and his party appeared at the Guangding branch on Houyi Street.

This is the second time Song Qi has come here, and the last time he came here, he came to take back the firm. At that time, he was still blocked by the doorkeepers, and the two guards were scared to death later, and regretted it, fortunately Song Qi did not pursue it, they dealt with Song Qi, and they still have memories of Song Qi, and when they saw Song Qi appear at the door accompanied by several people, they immediately nodded and greeted him: "The owner is good!" ”

"Good!" Song Qi smiled slightly. appeared at the same door twice, and the treatment was completely different, which made him feel a lot of emotion.

One of the tall and thin men raised his hand and pointed to the porter, and said with a sneer: "The proprietor, please wait in the concierge, and the little one will call the rich shopkeeper to greet you." ”

"No need!" Song Qi waved his hand, raised his chin to the building inside, and said with a smile, "I'll just go in and find the rich shopkeeper!" ”

"The little one leads the way!" Another Humpty Dumpty man volunteered.

To be honest, Song Qi didn't know where the shopkeeper's office was, he nodded and raised his hand to the short and fat housekeeper, "Then trouble you!" ”

The short and fat man said with his eyebrows fluttering, "This is a small honor." Then he leaned sideways and led the way diagonally in front of him. The tall and thin man was so envious that he regretted that he didn't directly offer to lead the way just now.

Song Qi, Mao Yong, and Wu Biao followed behind and walked towards the courtyard.

Along the way, I met a lot of busy people, some of them were walking while holding papers, some were exchanging business matters with each other, and of course, some were just taking advantage of the work break to relax and take a walk. When they saw Song Qi, they all showed a look of surprise on their faces, and when they recognized Song Qi, they immediately stopped, and their eyes showed a look of respect. But none of them took the initiative to say hello, after all, they had only met Song Qi once a month ago, and they were not sure that this was the owner of the firm. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you said the wrong hello.

The face of the guard was full of pride, his head was raised high, and his shoulders were shaking, as if he had done something great.

The shopkeeper's office is located in the innermost room on the first floor of the second row of buildings.

"The owner, the treasurer's office is here!" Humpty Dumpty said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you." Song Qi waved his hand to Humpty Dumpty, motioning for him to stand down. The short and fat man stepped back with a smile.

Song Qi raised his feet and entered the shopkeeper's office.

This office is quite spacious, with south-facing windows and bright light. Inside, there is a large mahogany desk, which is piled high with account books and papers, and Fuji Mi is buried in the pile of papers to review them. On the left and right sides of the wall stands a bookcase, in addition to the book, there are account books.

"Cough~" Song Qi coughed dryly and slowly paced towards Fuji San. Fuji-san still buried his head in the pile of papers, did not look up, and did not even react. (To be continued.) )
