Chapter 269: Grain and Gunpowder, Borrowing 2,000 Soldiers (I)

Five hundred taels of gold ingots were piled up in front of people's eyes, and the golden light was so dazzling that people's eyes were bright, and even the candlelight was unusually bright.

Lin Jiantai has not seen so much gold, as the commander of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the commander of the Beijing camp, he has a lot of money every year, and the empty salary he eats is 20,000 taels of silver every year. Coupled with his Lin family's properties in the capital and Nanzhili, it is not an exaggeration to say that he Lin has a family fortune. Therefore, a few hundred taels of gold is actually not a big amount for him, just to get the position of the chief soldier of the Shenshu battalion, he sent 40,000 taels of filial piety.

Therefore, with only five hundred taels of gold, it stands to reason that it is not worth it when he Lord Lin is so out of shape, but people are strange, no matter how rich you are, a pile of gold smashed in front of you, this eye is also immediately straight, and it is impossible not to shine in your eyes.

After all, there are only a few people in this world who can really regard money as dung and not be moved by gold and silver, and Lin Jiantai is a greedy person, and his brazenness in collecting money can be seen from the fact that he asked Deng Yu for 10,000 taels as soon as he opened his mouth.

Gold, gold, bright gold, shaking people's hearts, shaking so much that Lord Lin couldn't control himself for a while.

Lin Jiantai and other officials and high-ranking people are so out of shape, not to mention Pei Shaokuan, a small commander, seeing such a large pile of gold ingots, he immediately straightened up, swallowed up and down the Adam's apple, and almost drooled down.

Deng Yu also couldn't close his mouth, this is real gold, the golden light dazzled him for a while.

In fact, if Shi Dayong took out a silver ticket of five thousand taels, they would not have such a big reaction at all, but with such a large pile of gold in front of them, who the hell would not lose his temper!

The psychological impact of real money is far greater than that of a silver ticket, which feels like a check for 500,000 yuan and a bunch of 100 yuan bills bring a different visual and psychological impact to people

Lin Jiantai lost his temper very much, and recovered quickly, after a while, he calmed down, withdrew his gaze from the pile of gold ingots on the table, and his expression became calm, after glancing at Shi Dayong, he said lightly: "I can't see that General Shi's family is rich, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is rich." Well, what do you want to do with this officer? ”

"My lord, General Shi is actually here for military rations." Shi Dayong didn't speak, but Pei Shaokuan, who reacted, said it for him.

Hearing that Shi Dayong also came to ask for military rations, Deng Yu was stunned, and he had a feeling of sympathy.

"This is strange, Brother Deng came to ask for food, and General Shi also came to ask for food, making the court seem to treat you harshly?"

Lin Jiantai pretended to be deaf and laughed, and Shi Dayong stood there and did not speak. Deng Wei snorted secretly.

After laughing a few times, Lin Jiantai suddenly stopped, and said to Shi Dayong with some admiration: "Your General Shi's name and official have heard of it in Beijing, and the saint can praise you as a general of the imperial cavalry, and the victory in Jinzhou is even more of a prestige of our country's heavenly soldiers. ”

"Don't dare, this son of heaven praises him, the last general never dares to really pretend to be a fat horseman, the last general is only loyal to the court, for the country, never dare to have him think." Shi Dayong said humbly.

Hearing this, Lin Jiantai waved his hand with a smile and said, "Hey, what dare you dare to do, you Shi Dayong is indeed a meritorious society, besides, this holy praise, how can you not be a courtier?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Shi Dayong's mask with interest, knowing that the other party's face had been damaged by the Hongyi cannon and became hideous and terrifying, so he used a mask to cover it, otherwise, it was very scary. But I was very curious about what kind of face the other party had behind this mask.

Shi Dayong did not answer Lin Jiantai's words, but said: "Since the adults know the last general, then they must also know the current situation of the last general, if the adult can help the last general, the last general will be grateful!" ”

"Well, this one."

Lin Jiantai showed a very embarrassed look, and said euphemistically: "They are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, you have difficulties, and this official will naturally not sit idly by, but what you offended is Gonggong Gao, he is a red man in front of the saint, and he is the supervisor of the army, even the official must obey his orders." Therefore, this official does not dare to offend Gonggong Gao for your sake. ”

After Shi Dayong heard this, he said: "My lord just said that no matter how difficult things in this world are, there is always a way to solve them, as long as you have a heart, things can be done." ”

"Interesting, interesting"

The other party used his own words to set himself, Lin Jiantai thought it was very interesting, but it was also in line with his temperament, there is nothing in this world that can't be done, as long as you have money!

Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, after the laughter, his expression was solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "Then do you want this official to dredge up to Gao Gonggong for you, and want him to stop embarrassing your Jinzhou Army, or do you want this official to help you privately?" ”

"The buying and selling of real money makes people profitable, and it is better for adults to make a fortune themselves." Shi Dayong's face turned to the pile of gold. Although he didn't say this explicitly, he had already told Lin Jiantai that he chose the latter.

Hearing these words in Lin Jiantai's ears, it was also very pleasant, and it also fell into his arms, how can real money make others earn!

"Tell me, how much grain do you want to buy from this official?"

Entering the topic, Lin Jiantai will not beat around the bush, and when talking about business, he has to get straight to the point, go straight, and there is no need to take any detours.

Shi Dayong didn't think about it, and blurted out: "As much as the adults can sell, the generals will buy as much as they want." ”

Lin Jiantai was a little surprised: "General Shi is so big. ”

Shi Dayong said: "As long as the silver is enough, the last general's breath will naturally be big." ”

Lin Jiantai was stunned, and calculated in his heart that the other party could pay 10,000 taels of silver for someone he didn't know, presumably this net worth was indeed rich, and he should have the confidence to say this. But I don't know where he got all this money?

If you have money to make, how can you not make it? Lin Jiantai stared at Shi Dayong for a while, then nodded: "Okay, this official will sell you 300 loads of grain." ”

A load is 100 catties, 300 quintals is naturally 30,000 catties of grain, according to the Jinzhou army now needs 3,000 catties of grain and grass every day, 300 catties of grain is enough for them to support 10 days, if you save some, you can hold on for five more days.

Lin Jiantai thought that he gave the other party 300 loads of food at once, and the other party would definitely be excited, but he never thought that Shi Dayong was not happy at all, shook his head there, and then spit out two words: "Not enough." ”
