It turned out that the power of this chief military commissariat was so great that the Xuanwu Army was responsible for the purchase and dispatch of military rations, the appointment and dismissal of thousands of officers and men of the military rations department, and the scheduling, transportation, storage, and use of military rations.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting abroad, and the supply of military rations is of course the first priority, although there are thousands of officers and soldiers in this military rations department, they are still very busy when they start the war, and they are extremely short of manpower, and they are often unable to meet the operational needs of the army.

Lei Yun was not very familiar with the daily affairs of the Military Rations Department, so as soon as he took over, he was busy checking the number of grain stocks and counting the rosters of officers and soldiers, and he was busy for nearly half a month before he could be regarded as having a general understanding of the work of the Military Rations Department.

Originally, the most important tasks of the military rations department were two, one was the allocation of grain and grass and the daily purchase of supplementary food in the autumn of each year, and the other was the transportation and dispatch of military rations during wartime.

Generally speaking, wheat, corn, rice and other things are allocated from the official grain depot and do not need to be purchased, but it is not only for the front-line soldiers to eat these staple foods, but also with some fish, meat, poultry, eggs, melons, fruits and vegetables and other foods.

The Tang Dynasty is a government military system, generally speaking, the sergeants usually farm at home, so they don't need to be supported by the army, but once there is a war, hundreds of thousands of troops will be quickly assembled, and then these hundreds of thousands of people will be supported by the army, so many people, the daily consumption is astronomical, even if they do not go out, the standing army of the Xuanwu Army is as many as 30,000 people, and the daily consumption is also very large, so the chief soldier grain officer has no less than three or four million taels of silver every year.

With so much money spent, it is impossible to say that there is no greasy at all, and Su Dingfang also knows that there is some "oil and water" in it, but whoever this position is given to will inevitably be corrupted, so as long as the supply can be guaranteed, he will never delve into it.

After Lei Yun checked the account books, he found that most of the fish, meat, poultry eggs, melons, fruits and vegetables bought by the Xuanwu Army were actually produced by the Xuanwu Army's government soldiers, and were purchased by the merchants and sold back to the soldiers' food department.

"These moths are really ruthless." Lei Yun closed the ledger and muttered to himself: "It seems that Lao Tzu can't get rich this time." ”

In the next few days, Lei Yun immediately issued an order to cut down all the largest suppliers, and instead directly signed procurement contracts within the Xuanwu Army, and completely purchased all the year's harvest from the families of the officers and soldiers in advance, although the purchase price was twice as low as that of buying from the merchants, but the income of the Xuanwu Army soldiers increased several times.

As soon as this policy came out, it was immediately strongly supported by the government soldiers, which not only saved half of the funds, but also greatly boosted morale, in addition to saving more than 2 million taels of silver every year, and also enhancing the patriotic feelings of the soldiers and soldiers, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Why did Thunderclouds do this? Of course, it won't be stupid enough to give the empire money.

He spent all the money he saved in the name of military ration transportation expenses, and then made a windfall of more than one million taels of silver with Su Zimo and Su Zimo.

Su Zimo is Su Dingfang's own brother, and Su Dingfang's side also turned a blind eye, so naturally he would not pursue Lei Yun, and he didn't spend much money anyway.

After this "cooperation", Su Zimo and Lei Yun have been like a person since then, and they can't wait to wear a pair of pants to be too fat, so they naturally take more care of Lei Yun.

Soon, Lei Yun's Yunzhan Cave teleportation array was transferred to Gao Laozhuang Fortress, and Lei Yun finally recovered Yunzhan Cave, so he immediately built a large number of buildings, luxurious decoration, and after spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver like water, Yunzhan Cave finally became a veritable immortal mansion.

At this time, Lei Yun finally had time to put his mind back on the training of basic skills, so he spent most of his time in Meng Yuan's mansion, practicing his skill proficiency frantically, and finally practiced the proficiency of the Bloody Web again, and as long as he spent a few more points, he could successfully level up.

Because it had already cost too many points to learn the cultivation method, Lei Yun was a little embarrassed to talk to Meng Yuan again, so he had to wait until the next mission world was over to upgrade this skill.

At this time, there was another good news, it turned out that Prime Minister Yin had already played the Ming Sheng, made Zhu Gangguan a baron, and the emperor personally gave him a marriage, completing Lei Yun's promise to Zhu Gangguan.

At the same time, Lei Yun's bribe of 500,000 taels of silver was obviously very effective, and the saint also issued an additional decree to give Lei Yun a first-class viscount and Meng Yuan a first-class baron, and the two became nobles from then on.

Originally, Lei Yun and Meng Yuan were not very interested in such things as nobles, but Su Zimo told them that nobles have a salary, and it does not conflict with officials, the viscount has 500 points per month, and the baron has 300 points per month, so that these two guys can get 800 points per month for nothing, and they are all happy immediately.

On this day, Lei Yun and Meng Yuan were practicing the battle in the mansion, and suddenly Su Zimo hurriedly arrived with joy on his face, waving three golden invitations in his hand, and shouted loudly:

"Brother Lei, Brother Feng, look at what good things I have gotten."

Looking at Su Zimo's happy face, Lei Yun and Meng Yuan couldn't help but be surprised, and asked:

"What's good? So happy? ”

Su Zimo shook the invitation card in his hand and said:

"The top VIP package of the Nishang Flying Song and Dance Troupe, the performance is tonight, and the venue is on the big square outside the Xuanwu Gate."

Hearing this, Lei Yun lost his voice and said:

"Performing in that place? Did I hear me right? It was the outer city of the Imperial City, heavily guarded, who would dare to perform there? ”

Su Zimo glanced at Lei Yun disdainfully and said:

"Of course, the emperor approved the performance, as for the reason, eighty percent is to facilitate the concubines in the palace to watch the performance, so that those concubines don't even have to go out of the imperial city, and they watch the performance on the city tower."

Meng Yuan was already excited at this time, and took Su Zimo's invitation and said:

"You kid really has a way, I heard that this ticket is hard to find now, it is worthy of being known as the first beauty of the empire, and the dignitaries and dignitaries of Chang'an City are all vying to see it."

Thundercloud was confused and asked:

"What Maitenhime? Isn't it the Neon Flying Song and Dance Troupe? “

Meng Yuan swallowed his saliva and said with a cheap smile:

"Dancing Tianji is the pillar of this song and dance troupe, known as "singing and dancing, the crown of the world", I was fortunate to see her performance once, the ethereal singing voice is like a heavenly sound, light and graceful dancing like a goddess flying into the sky, so that I still can't forget, the most important thing is that she has just turned eighteen years old this year, I heard that I haven't found a good in-law's house, hehe, I'm so suave, knowledgeable and interesting, is it destined to live with her? ”

Looking at Meng Yuan's obscene smile, Lei Yun and Su Zimo were speechless for a while, and after a while, Su Zimo coughed twice and said:

"Then it's decided, let's go together tonight, wait for me to come to you, all dress in spirit, there are beautiful women over there, if you let them catch their eyes, you will be developed tonight."

Lei Yun saw that Su Zimo was gone, so he continued to pull Meng Yuan to practice swordsmanship, but he knew that this kid was always distracted absent-mindedly, so Lei Yun couldn't practice, so he drove Meng Yuan away, Meng Yuan was like being amnestied, and he immediately ran away, and he didn't know what to do.

In the evening, Meng Yuan finally wore a brand-new satin warrior uniform, and bought a whole carriage of flowers back to Fugui Ronghuafang, Su Zimo also lent Su Dashuai's royal eight horses luxury carriage, and also brought a team of fully armed personal soldiers, and came to find Lei Yun and Meng Yuan.

Lei Yun found that Su Zimo, who usually dresses casually, is wearing very particular clothes at the moment: wearing an off-white satin scribe's dress, wearing a golden crown with black jade inlaid with gold, a precious white jade plate dragon pendant around his waist, and a fan in his hand, obviously after careful preparation, Su Zimo has very white skin, tall and tall, delicate facial features, and is a standard beautiful man.

Seeing these two people doing so grandly, Lei Yun couldn't help but be stunned, seeing that he was still wearing a practice uniform, he hadn't even taken a shower, and the smell of sweat all over his body suddenly became a little uncomfortable.

Su Zimo came to Lei Yun and frowned slightly, obviously the smell of sweat on Lei Yun's body was very strong, but Su Zimo still opened the door of Su Dashuai's super luxurious carriage and said:

"Brother Lei, please."

Then he shouted to Meng Yuan:

"Brother Meng, come and sit here, I'll let you pull your flowers."

The three of them sat in a carriage, surrounded by the pro-soldier guards, and soon came to the big square outside the Xuanwu Gate, at this time it was already crowded with people, not to mention tens of thousands of people, in the east of the square, a huge stage has been erected, and thousands of heavily armed Tang troops are maintaining order on the spot.

The carriage of the three of Lei Yun traveled until the forbidden area next to the stage before stopping, Su Zimo asked the soldiers to stay where they were, and handed over the three golden invitations to the guards and soldiers, and then took Lei Yun and Meng Yuan swaggered into the backstage makeup rest area, and Meng Yuan also held a large bouquet of flowers in his arms.
