Jiangdu Thorn Mansion, Chang Sui Ning usually used to take care of official business in the inner study, at this moment, Yuan Xiang listened to the confession of the head Chang Sui Ning, and was very surprised.

So...... Chang Niangzi actually asked him to send silver to the Metropolitan Governor?

And listening to the meaning of Chang Niangzi's words, this must not be a small amount...... But where did Chang Niangzi get such a large amount of spare money now? Even though the Metropolitan Governor had previously given millions of family dollars, Chang Niangzi built a unique courtyard and opened a large workshop - so many expenses on the surface are already very staggering, and there must be nothing left at all.

Chang Suining, who was sitting behind the bookcase, continued to say in detail: "This 7 million yuan, in addition to the 80,000 Xuance troops on the border, another 100,000 soldiers will be recruited, if there is no accident, it should be able to support at least two years of military salary consumption——"

After Yuan Xiang was stunned for a moment, he was too shocked, and his voice stumbled a little: "Seven...... Seven million? ”

After the shock, Yuan Xiang immediately felt uneasy, I'm afraid that he is going to use the strength of the entire Jiang Capital, right?

He was about to speak again, but he heard Chang Suining say: "Don't worry, this is from my private treasury." ”

The tone was very calm, but Yuan Xiang was even more shocked.

- Private Library?!

Chang Niangzi, who spends money so generously and is dedicated to supplementing Jiangdu, still has a private treasury?

He remembered that the last time Chang Niangzi was rewarded, it was clear that all the rewards were given to the officers and soldiers in the army, and these seven million guan could not be ......

Yuan Xiang subconsciously thought of the word "corruption", but even in his heart, he didn't speculate - not to mention that Chang Niangzi, who was worried about Jiangdu everywhere, would not be such a person, just to say that Jiangdu, which has just completed the reconstruction, where can there be such a rich oil and water to be greedy?

That's seven million ...... Compared with the family wealth that most of his family has saved for more than ten years, and it is fully doubled!

The sense of proportion made Yuan Xiang not take the liberty to ask about the source of this huge amount of money, but his eyes as if he were experiencing the earth were full of desire to learn.

Seeing his expression, Chang Suining smiled and said in the same tone: "Don't worry, it's not some ill-gotten gains, it's just left by the ancestors." ”

This is a statement that Chang Suining has already thought of, and this question is bound to be unavoidable in the future, there must always be an explanation.

And this statement also has its deep meaning and usefulness.

Yuan Xiang looked puzzled: "I don't know what the adults said the ancestors are ......"

Chang Sui Ning said calmly: "The deceased person in the family. ”

There was a bit of a stop in these words, and Yuan Xiang didn't continue to ask, only set off bursts of turmoil in his heart.

It is obvious that what Chang Niangzi is referring to is not the ancestors of the Chang family, so it can only be ......

Yuan Xiang became inexplicably excited: "My subordinates know that my lord is such a genius...... The ancestor must also be a great character! ”

Obviously, Chang Niangzi must have found out her own life experience!

And there must be something extraordinary about this life experience, after all, what ordinary family can casually leave a family asset of 7 million? It doesn't even have to be seven million!

This statement fell to the ground in his heart, Yuan Xiang felt that he was really inflated, before that, he could never have imagined that he would one day use the word [only] before the number of [seven million guan].

Yuan Xiangwu was excited, and Chang Sui Ning continued to explain: "Along the way, you can take some of these seven million guan out of it, and buy as much food and medicinal materials as possible, as well as other things used in the army——"

The northern frontier is on the edge, it is too time-consuming to buy and transport back and forth, and the war will break out completely at any time, so it is better to prepare as well as possible on the way in case the unexpected happens.

However, such a large purchase of grain will inevitably attract the attention of all parties and the imperial court, which is unavoidable, and there is no need to deliberately avoid it: "In case of supervision, just cooperate and tell the truth to all places, this is the Huainan Province Chang Sui Ning's subsidy for the military salaries of the northern border garrison." If there are still people who deliberately obstruct the interception, there is no need to be merciful, just kill all those who stand in the way in the name of hindering the great plan to consolidate the border in the north - be sure to send the money and food to the Governor Cui Dadu safely. ”

This world is so chaotic that there are many people with evil guts.

Yuan Xiang's expression was correct, and he hugged his fists solemnly and responded "yes".

"Nowadays, unlike in the past, the purchase of military rations also involves the interests of all parties, and it is not an ordinary and easy task." Chang Sui Ning said: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of this trip, I will order one person to go with you." ”

After a while, Yuan Xiang saw someone coming and was surprised again: "...... Meng Dongjia? ”

Yuan Xiang later knew that the gray-haired "Mr. Meng" was the Meng Dongjia of Jingshi Dengtailou himself, not a similar-looking lost uncle and nephew......

But after learning about this, Yuan Xiang couldn't help but wonder, why did the Meng Dong family of Jingshi come to Jiangdu to help Chang Niangzi take care of affairs in private?

It was only at this time that Yuan Xiang had a sense of enlightenment.

He got it...... Meng Dongjia must have a deep relationship with the "ancestors" in Chang Niangzi's mouth.

Even the Meng Dong family may be one of the help that the "ancestors" secretly left for Chang Niangzi...... Thinking so far is in line with his stereotype of big people!

When Yuan Xiang "knew", Meng Lie also "knew"-

He finally knew who the person who made his highness "willing to owe" was sacred.

It was originally the Cui Dadu Governor who was beaten by Chang Kuo in the past, and then took charge of the Xuan Ce Army, and was expelled from the Cui clan last year, and now leads the troops to guard the Yumen Pass.

In addition to this military salary, Chang Sui Ning asked Yuan Xiang to bring Cui Jing together, there is also a box, which contains her understanding of Beidi's internal and combat methods, although most of them are known in the old days, but not only in the old days, they are self-respecting, Chang Sui Ning has never been optimistic about this evil wolf outside the North Coast, so he has never dared to stop "knowing himself and knowing his enemy" to it.

Although she may not have Cui Jing's detailed understanding of Beidi now, she is also the one who has defeated Beidi, and the advice of the former winner is always worth listening to - in the matter of "fighting", Chang Suining has always had a self-confidence that is different from ordinary people.

In addition, Chang Suining also had a sentence that he wanted Yuan Xiang to convey to Cui Jing.

The rebuilding of the northern border defense was Cui Jing's proposal to take precautions, and he wrote for several years before he finally got the court's permission to lead his troops to the north and devote himself to the border affairs. But to re-consolidate the border defense, not only will it take huge financial and human resources, but also enough time - and the situation will decline faster than everyone expected, and now that the national strength is too much to support, there is not much time left to prepare for it, and the financial supply has become a fatal problem.

It is true that seven million guan is by no means a small amount even for Chang Suining, who thinks he is rich, but at such a juncture, how can he blindly count on the imperial court?

Chang Suining knew that Cui Jing "didn't hide his secrets" from Dasheng Jiangshan and her - Cui Jing thought she had difficulties before, so he sent everything he had to Jiangdu without reservation. Now that she knew that the northern border was in a difficult situation with him, she would naturally do the same.

"Tell Governor Cui Dadu for me, this time I am not to repay him for his previous act of sending charcoal in the snow-" Chang Sui Ning said: "These seven million guan are not for Cui Jing, but for the soldiers in the north." ”

After Yuan Xiang reacted for a moment, he clarified the difference, and suddenly an indescribable emotion suddenly appeared in his heart.

Chang Niangzi's help this time is not to repay the offset.

Chang Niangzi and Cui Dudu support each other's pillars, and also support each other's prosperity.

There is a great righteousness in this, not just the world between the two.

And the sentence "It is for the soldiers in the north", in a trance, actually made Yuan Xiang feel a little bit of Chang Niangzi "entrusting the overall situation" to the governor of the capital.

Therefore, although "it is not for Cui Jing", there is also absolute trust in Cui Jing.

Because of trust, there is trust.

Yuan Xiang's heart was indescribably moved, and he suddenly hugged his fists and knelt down on one knee to thank him: "My subordinates are my comrades in the north, thank you for your help!" ”

Seven million is enough to recruit troops and horses in this world, but the person in front of him chose to send it to the north thousands of miles away from Huainan Road to fortify the border -

At this moment, Yuan Xiang stood from the perspective that only belonged to Cui Yuanxiang, and really completely distinguished Chang Suining from other ambitious people.

He knelt down not because of the relationship between the governors of the capital, not because of the difference between the upper and lower levels, but from the heart.

After leaving this rarely set foot in the inner study, Yuan Xiang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and gradually regained a little bit of his "self".

Two voices began to swirl in his head, one was that Chang Niangzi trusted his own Metropolitan Governor so much, so, in a sense, is the Metropolitan Governor also regarded as "the concubine body is already clear"?

Second, what kind of amazing life experience does Chang Niangzi have?

Yuan Xiang quietly looked at Meng Lie, who was walking beside him.

Although the Meng Dong family, who is now full of business, looks far less approachable than when he ascended the Tailou in Beijing, it can't extinguish Yuanxiang's fiery curiosity.

Yuan Xiang tried to take a casual tone, and asked with a smile: "I don't know where the ancestral home of the Meng Dong family is, and who is the original family?" ”

Meng Lie replied without squinting: "Dasheng people's clan." ”

The smile on Yuan Xiang's face lagged behind, and he laughed "ha"...... Coincidentally, it's also below. ”

Meng Lie glanced at him and didn't speak.

Not only failed to alleviate the embarrassment, but instead contributed to the embarrassment of Yuan Xiang, only to put away his smile.

"Don't ask too much." Meng Lie still said in a tone without any fluctuations: "When you should know, you will naturally know." ”

Yuan Xiang, who was pierced in his heart, nodded awkwardly, but he didn't listen to the call in his heart, and couldn't help but be more curious.

The next day, Yuan Xiang and Meng Lie left Jiangdu City with a thousand elites arranged by Chang Suining.

One step earlier than this thousand people is the letter soldiers who rushed to the north yesterday, a thousand people are not safe enough, after Cui Jing receives the letter, he will send the Xuan Ce army to answer in the middle of the way, in case of accidents.

Chang Sui would rather categorically not want the seven million pieces of meat to be taken out of the meat to become the capital of other people's troubles.

Immediately afterwards, the assassins of various states also left Jiangdu one after another and returned to their rule.

What they took away was not only Chang Suining's intimidation, but also the flatbread painted by Chang Suining.

When Yun Hui said goodbye to Chang Suining, the whole person was full of energy, and tried his best to assure Chang Suining that Hezhou would be the state with the smoothest implementation of the new policy and the most considerable fiscal revenue among the twelve states.

Chang Suining, who had just spent a lot of money, was relieved when he heard this, and nodded with relief.

The day after Yun Hui left, Chang Suining went to the City Ship Division and saw Han Zheng and the scene in the City Ship Division that had gradually become orderly.

In the afternoon, Chang Suining, who got on the horse and left under Han Zheng's respect, took people to the seaside where he was preparing to test the boat.

The Changning had already embarked on an ocean voyage, and the five or six ships ready to test the waters now looked much smaller, and these ships had been built from old merchant ships.

Those old merchant ships have been idle for many years, but it is a pity to abandon them, Shen Sanmao thought about repairing them, changing them, not for ocean trips, but enough to use them between Dongluo and Tamna Island.

If you live your life, you have to be careful with your budget.

But Shen Sanmao's careful calculation is far more than "sewing and mending for another three years"-

Chang Suining put his hand above his eyebrows, squinted at the fluttering flag cloth on one of the ships, and saw that on the highest flag, there was a big word "Chang".

Shen Sanmao explained with a smile on the side: "With the prestige of adults, you can be more unimpeded on the sea......"

The prestige of the adults in their own family is naturally to be used well, and look at the "Chang" word flag, showing it in the wind, so that people have more confidence in their hearts.

"What about that side?" Chang Sui Ning looked at the slightly lower flag decorated with colored stripes, fixed his eyes for a moment, and read: "...... Chiang's ...... Commercial firm? ”

Shen Sanmao smiled "hey": "Back to my lord, Jiang Hai and Jiang Dong's family donated 200,000 taels of silver for the reconstruction of the city and the opening of the sea route...... The villain thought that such a good act should be widely publicized. ”

Chang Suining sighed lightly in his heart, and felt a sense of surprise at Shen Sanmao's move, and nodded in admiration: "The reopening of the market is beneficial to the country and the people, and my Jiangdu businessmen have great righteousness, so they are united in their hearts, and it is really good." ”

As she spoke, she looked at the remaining boats, only to feel that there was a row of big characters written on them - vacant seats for rent, and those who are interested should hurry.

These ships were to be bound for foreign countries, and foreign trade was a golden and prosperous route, and it was undoubtedly an excellent means of opening up sales by publicizing one's own business in this way.

Sure enough, within three days, the "flag rights" on the remaining ships were quickly seized by major commercial houses in the name of donations.

After successfully testing the waters, these ships loaded with goods and sailed in the direction of Taolla and Wajima in the calm sea breeze.

Different from the coolness of the sea breeze, the houses in Jiangdu City have shown a bit of summer heat.

Jiangdu Assassin Shifu, a female soldier in charge of interrogation came back from outside and explained the battle situation in Yuezhou to Chang Sui Ning: "...... More than ten days ago, General Xiao Min had successfully intercepted the military rations that Bian Jun had transported to Yuezhou, and the Bian army in Yuezhou City had several civil strife because of the lack of food, and there were desertions, but they were all suppressed by Bian Chunliang. ”

Chang Suining asked, "Hasn't General Xiao sent troops to recover Yuezhou yet?" ”

More than ten days ago, there was news that the military rations had been intercepted, and it was said that the Bian army should take advantage of the turmoil in the hearts of the Bian army, and send troops as soon as possible when the next military ration supply has not yet been found.

The female soldier shook her head: "I haven't heard it yet, and the front is still probing." ”

Chang Suining nodded, Jiangdu is in the easternmost part of Huainan Road, thousands of miles apart, the news is always lagging, maybe at this time Xiao Min has already arrived in Yuezhou City, and it is unknown.

But she still asked people to pay more attention to the news from Yuezhou, and once there was new news coming back, she would immediately report it to her.

And Xiao Min, who was thousands of miles away, was caught in a dispute with Li Xian at this moment.
