Wu Bowen felt that it was necessary to persuade Ji Chenfeng.

"Your Highness, this treasury has just made a little bit of money, and you can't be extravagant, it should be a long stream."

Ji Chenfeng waved his hand and said: "Governor Wu, in terms of military usage, as long as it is reasonable and necessary, it cannot be saved, you should take a long-term view, silver is spent, not saved." ”

Wu Bowen's old face twitched, and he secretly said that Ji Chenfeng was not at home, and he didn't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt were expensive.

Now there are more places to spend money in Cloud City, except that the military expenditure is a big head, which place in the city does not spend money on government affairs, construction, and personnel expenses?

Wu Bowen complained and said: "Your Highness, there are many industries to be developed in Cloud City, and there are many places to spend money, so you should save some flowers." ”

Ji Chenfeng sighed slightly, this Wu Bowen's vision was still a little lower, and he stared at the one-third of an acre of land in Guiyun City, why didn't he want to think about how the money came from?

Ji Chenfeng had no choice but to lower his voice and reminded vaguely: "Governor Wu, how did the money in the treasury of this mansion come from, you should know that now that more than half a month has passed since the robbery of the soldier's salary, the military department and Luoshui City should have investigated almost well." ”

Wu Bowen was taken aback: "Your Highness, do you mean that they have already mastered the evidence and will find out to us?" ”

"That's not it, I handled it very cleanly on my side that day, and it shouldn't leave any traces."

Wu Bowen asked puzzledly, "Then why did Your Highness say that?" ”

Ji Chenfeng's eyes flashed and said, "Do you think Your Majesty won't pay attention to such a big matter?" At this moment, the news should have spread all over the government and the opposition, under the attention of all parties, the military department and Luoshuicheng are under great pressure, if they can't come up with substantive measures, how can they calm the doubts and anger of all parties? How can the position of the military department Shangshu and the Luoshui City transfer envoy still sit down?

If you think about it again, there are no decent thieves and bandits near Luoshui City, and it is difficult to play the pot on the thieves and bandits, and the more than 1,000 soldiers in charge of escorting are not vegetarians. And those who can do this around here are the five princes on the border, after all, we are the only ones who have soldiers in our hands. ”

Wu Bowen was surprised at this time, Ma Mingtao, Liu Yi and others listened with their ears pricked up, and they also felt that this matter had a lot to do with it.

Ma Mingtao coughed lightly twice and reminded: "Ahem, Your Highness, this matter should be discussed in secret." ”

"That's right, Liu Yi, pass the order, the officers and soldiers of the Ji family army will go back to their respective battalions, and the five commanders, together with Wu Bowen and Ma Mingtao, will go to my camp tent to discuss matters!"

"Yes!"

The generals and officials were ordered to leave.

Although only Wu Bowen and Ma Mingtao were directly involved in the planning of the robbery of soldiers' salaries, Liu Yi and Mengjun and other generals also guessed a little.

Guiyun City was so poor before, why did he suddenly become rich?

It just so happened that the news of the robbery of the soldiers' salaries of the military department has been spread everywhere in the past few days, and they can guess seventy-seven eighty-eight with a slight thought.

But no one thinks there's anything wrong, Ji Chenfeng is doing this for the sake of returning to Cloud City, and for everyone's welfare, no one will say no, the welfare of the army has been improved, what do you want?

Now they were called to the tent to discuss matters, and everyone was very calm.

As soon as everyone sat down, Wu Bowen couldn't wait to ask: "According to His Royal Highness, are the soldiers and Zhou Kai suspicious of us?" ”

Liu Yi and several commanders of the Mongolian army also looked sideways at Ji Chenfeng.

Ji Chenfeng calmly analyzed: "It's not that you doubt us, but it's very likely that you want to use me as this backbiter." Think about it, the princes of the five frontiers on this border, the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince, are rich and powerful, and the military salary is dispensable for them, and the military department naturally will not doubt them, and dare not doubt them.

And I'm just a down-and-out prince, with no wealth and no power, and Guiyun City is so poor that I can't open the pot, in terms of motives, I should be the one who wants to rob the soldiers the most, and in fact, I did it.

The main thing is, I'm a bully! I have no background in the imperial city, and I have no reputation among the people, such a marginal figure, if I step on it, I will not encounter any help, and no one above the government and the opposition will never defend me. ”

Everyone's expressions changed: "The man who carries the pot? This term is very appropriate, but Your Highness, how can they condemn Your Highness without evidence? ”

"It doesn't matter if the evidence is not evidence, if the military department really intends to take me under the knife, it is not easy to compile some evidence."

Wu Bowen became more and more shocked after thinking about it: "Your Highness, we must do a good job of dealing with it, those silver taels hurry up to find a proper place to hide, and the personnel who went to Rushing City to purchase should be withdrawn immediately, and all aspects of the city should be controlled... ”

Ma Mingtao said melancholy: "But even if the money is not spent, Guiyun City has already built a new city wall, and the city is also building a large number of buildings, which all need money to support, how can we explain it after checking it out?" ”

Liu Yi and the others scratched their heads and said: "This is really difficult, it can't be said that you asked the demons to help you do it, right?" ”

Wu Bowen said categorically: "Of course, this can't be said, there is still room for maneuver in the matter of robbing soldiers' salaries, but if it is discovered that we cooperate with demons, it will inevitably be attacked by a group, and we will definitely die at that time." ”

"How's that to be?"

A few henchmen were helpless for a while.

Ji Chenfeng didn't have the slightest fluster, his eyes were wise and clear, and he seemed to have a plan.

"Don't panic, Your Highness isn't panicking, why are you panicking?"

"Your Highness, do you already have a countermeasure?"

Ji Chenfeng responded: "Sort of, don't hide the money in the treasury, it's all spent, there is something missing in Guiyun City, you should buy it, don't you have to reserve some food and materials for the winter?" Go buy it, fill the storeroom for me. ”

"Your Highness, isn't this just the right thing to do? When the time comes, how do we explain where the money comes from? ”

"You don't have to explain, if the military department has any questions, just let them come to me."

"Your Highness, are you planning to fight against the military department on your own?"

Ji Chenfeng smiled and said, "Why not?" ”

Ma Mingtao's facial expression was a little unnatural, and he wanted to say that Ji Chenfeng was overwhelmed, but he didn't dare to say it.

Ji Chenfeng looked at Ma Mingtao directly, pointed out his surname, and said, "Master Ma, do you want to say that I don't measure myself?" ”

Ma Mingtao said embarrassedly: "The lower officials don't dare, I just want to remind Your Highness that this military department is not a vegetarian, and Xiao Ruoding, the secretary of the military department, is extremely prestigious in the court, and he is very strong in life." ”

Ji Chenfeng nodded and said, "Xiao Shangshu's name, His Royal Highness has also heard of it a little. ”

"Your Highness, do you still plan to fight against the military department on your own?"
