The military department is responsible for the expenditure and logistics of the army.

As for where to purchase the daily use of the army, the battlefield logistics is in charge of Wen Jingqi, the squire of the military department.

With the news of friction in the border area, Wen Jingqi can be said to be busy recently, he has to be responsible for the logistics and equipment of hundreds of thousands of troops, and he has to prepare the first batch of materials within three days, and then the materials have to go with the first batch of troops going south.

And the things that the army needs are not only weapons, food and grass, but also accompanying men and horses, tools, clothes, all kinds of military supplies, etc., and everything must not go wrong.

The Wang family, as a major logistics supplier family of the imperial army, has naturally dealt with him a lot in the past few days.

That afternoon, Wang Rui's people came to visit for a while.

When the people of the Wang family left, there were a few more boxes on the table in Wen Jingqi's bedroom, and he stepped forward to open them one by one, and there were clearly full of gold, silver, and pearls, and each box was extremely heavy.

"But he can be a man." He laughed, closed the boxes himself, and hid them in the cabinet.

After doing all this, he was about to go on official business, but at this time, the housekeeper of the house hurriedly came and said, "Master, the commanders of the four major battalions have all come here, saying that they have something to talk to you about."

Wen Jingqi was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous.

"What are you talking about, the four battalions are here?"

"yes, they came together."

"That's weird."

Wen Jingqi muttered.

In the past, the relationship between these four battalions was not very good, and they would look at each other's faces when they walked on the road on weekdays, so how could they come to him together today? This is the first time I've seen it.

After thinking about it, he frowned and asked, "Did they say something happened here?"

"Nope." The butler shook his head, "However, looking at the appearance of the commanders, it seems that they are menacing, and it is estimated that nothing good will happen."

"What's the good thing about coming to me at such a time?"

Wen Jingqi sneered and said coldly; "Okay, let them wait in the living room, I'll go over right away, I'd like to see what the hell they're going to do?"

On the other side, the four generals sat in the living room, all with calm faces, and their bodies seemed to be surrounded by an invisible layer of low pressure and murderous aura, so frightened that the maids and servants around them didn't dare to say a word, and stayed in place and didn't dare to move, for fear that they would be killed by the eyes of these evil gods if they gasped.

Such a cold, hard and terrifying atmosphere was not broken until Wen Jingqi arrived.

"Hehe, how can a few generals have time to come to visit the contemptible house."

Wen Jingqi smiled and arched his hand towards a few people, "I was dealing with official business just now, I couldn't come over in time, and the hospitality was not good, I hope that the generals will be more considerate."

Liu Heng looked at him with a smile, "Your Excellency has been very busy lately, we must be able to understand, a few of you, right?"

Several others snorted in agreement.

"Hehe, I don't know what happened to a few people who came to find this official?" Wen Jingqi's eyelids jumped, and he asked with a smile.

This Liu Heng was born in a civil official family, and among the four people, he can be regarded as an old fox who is an old woman doing a huge job, and the other three people originally disdained to be with him at all, but in today's situation, how can it seem that these people are willing to take Liu Heng as the leader?

What is there to bring these people together with their prejudices?

Liu Heng coughed and said with a faint smile: "Now that the big war is imminent, Lord Wen, you also know that General Qin and General Zhou will soon go south, and the two of them are also very busy like you, so they specially took the time to come here today, so naturally they have something very important to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Wen Jingqi asked.

"Naturally, it's a big deal!"

Qin Shiwei, the commander of the Western Battalion, glared at him, slapped the table with his palm, and said loudly to Wen Jingqi with a very dissatisfied expression: "You know that I and 100,000 soldiers are about to go south to fight, if you look at the weapons, armor, clothes, and food you provide, they are not as good

, what, do you sincerely want my soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty to go to the battlefield to die? Or did you deliberately let Yuan Guo see the jokes, we are picking up the rags?!"

Before Wen Jingqi could answer, Zhou Ji, the commander of the Northern Battalion, also suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice, "The imperial court allocates 500,000 taels of silver for military expenses every year, and these 500,000 taels of silver are used for such things?!" With that, he suddenly threw the thing he was holding to the ground in a rage, and the floor let out a crackling wail.

Wen Jingqi looked carefully, only to find that it was a rusty sword, and there were extremely obvious signs of wear and tear on the inner armor, and even holes could be seen.

"This, how can this be? Something must have gone wrong." Wen Jingqi didn't even think about it, and subconsciously shirked her responsibility, "How could I let the soldiers use these things?"

"Something went wrong?!" Zhou Ji sneered: "My lord, you said it lightly, it wasn't you who went to the battlefield together, and you weren't the one who lost your life, right?!" If you don't believe me, why don't you go with me to the barracks now, and see what my soldiers are wearing, what they use, and what they are eating. I just found out today that the noodles sent are moldy and wormy, I don't know where they came from, and I don't know how many years they have been there, so you let the soldiers eat these things on the road, are you afraid that we will win this war?"

"How can you say that? Isn't it slander to come casually?" Wen Jingqi's face was also a little ugly.

But before he finished speaking, Zhou Ji got up from his chair and went directly to take his hand, asking him to go to the barracks to have a look.

Zhou Ji was originally a general killed on the battlefield, born a tall man, even if he has been a general for a few years, the reckless and fierce aura on his body has not been restrained a little, and on the other hand, Wen Jingqi, thin as if he has no bones, standing in front of him is like a little chicken, he was pulled by him, and his little arm was almost broken.

"Ouch, General Zhou, don't worry!" Wen Jingqi's face turned blue in pain, and she quickly stopped.

At this time, Liu Heng stood up and quickly separated the two people, and each comforted him.

"General Zhou, don't be too angry, say it well, Lord Wen will definitely understand us, right?"

"And Lord Wen, don't be angry, the generals are really anxious, after all, they are about to go south, if the logistics materials can't keep up, the threat to the lives of the soldiers is not ordinary, and if the court investigates the responsibility at that time, Lord Wen, as the main person in charge, you will not be able to get out of it at that time, right?"
