Over there, Hui Shiyang looked at his friend Qian Qianyi's expression and felt a little embarrassed.

After all, Qian Qianyi entered Beijing this time, and he invited him, but now it seems that he wants to let the other party run for nothing.

He suddenly remembered something, looked at Qian Qianyi and said: "Brother Qian, don't be too disappointed, this time's strategy didn't come in handy, so it's good to come back next time." ”

"I want to tell you a good news here Brother Qian, the eight families have agreed to help us run a newspaper, and they are willing to give us 500,000 taels of silver."

"In addition, if we people get together and get together 100,000 pieces of silver, we will already be able to run this newspaper."

Qian Qianyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and it is conceivable that they are running a newspaper now, so when this newspaper is popular all over the world, then he is the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, and he is destined to be famous all over the world.

That's better than how many times he's become famous.

Sun Zhiqi, who was in charge of running the newspaper office in the eunuch party before, even hinted to them that they were allowed to run the newspaper as well, and they felt overjoyed in their hearts.

It's just that when they learned that the silver taels needed to run the newspaper were also taken aback.

He didn't expect that it would cost so much silver taels to run a newspaper, and no one would be willing to take out this amount.

Of course, if they were asked to make up so many silver taels, they would not be willing to do so, and they could only turn to the eight sponsors standing behind them for help.

Now that this matter has money, it can be regarded as finally on the right track.

It's just that they can't quite understand why that Sun Zhiqi will allow them to participate in the newspaper this time?

It stands to reason that this faint gentleman has done so many things, not for the power to make this newspaper. Tightly in your own hands.

If he thinks like this, Sun Zhiqi should also cut off the idea that these people want to run a newspaper, so as to be in line with the idea of the faint king.

In this way, it seems a little strange.

But they didn't think about Zhu Youxiao's desire to take this opportunity to find out the patrons behind the Donglin Party.

Because Hui Shiyang's idea is also very simple, isn't it normal for this official to accept the sponsorship of a businessman?

What is there to say about this.

Hui Shiyang thought about it, then looked at Zheng Sanjun, the left waiter of the household next to him, and said, "Zheng Shilang, I'm afraid the silver sent to Liaodong has almost arrived, right?" ”

Zheng Sanjun nodded and said, "Counting from the time, it has been delivered now." ”

"This time, Brother Shen will personally send it to Brother Shen in the matter, and we will definitely be able to communicate the things we planned with Yuan Chonghuan and them clearly, and there will definitely be no mistakes."

During the incident, Shen Weibing took one or three thousand soldiers and personally sent the military salaries given by the imperial court to the border army in Liaodong.

When Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui and others received the news, they also personally brought a group of soldiers to greet them.

It's just that Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui looked at the convoys behind Shen Weibing in the military department, and they also scolded secretly in their hearts: "Good thief!" ”

They received an official document from the imperial court saying that the imperial court had transported them as much as 500,000 taels of silver this time.

But if they look at this convoy, if they say that there are more than 300,000 taels of silver transported in the convoy, then they are burning incense.

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but complain to Man Gui, and said, "The draft of the people in the household department and the military department is too deep. ”

But Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui can't help it.

It's always been the rule.

If they really make something ugly because of this lack of silver, they don't follow the rules.

But it doesn't matter.

There are official documents on the top, and there are countermeasures on the bottom.

The officials and masters of the six departments eat cards and ask for them, which is naturally cool, but Liaodong generals like Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui also have their own ways to get their share.

Under Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui, even if some deserters ran away, or some soldiers died in battle, they didn't report it, and they still used this roster to pay the army.

The officers and masters of the military department did not say that they did not know such a situation, but they pretended to turn a blind eye.

As long as Liaodong is stable, the share they fall into their pockets is indispensable, so they don't want to care so much.

Yuan Chonghuan arched his hand, and said with some guilt: "Shen gave the matter, it was hard to come all the way, because our side was busy with military affairs, and we couldn't leave the city too far to meet you, but I didn't wait right, and I asked Shen to forgive me a lot in the matter." ”

This is now twenty miles away from the city, and Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui still said that they can't be too far away from the city.

If you want to be really far away, you can't go hundreds of miles?

However, Shen Weibing took it for granted in this military department, waved his hand with a bold look, and said: "This official also understands that the safety of Liaodong is related to the safety of the entire Ming Dynasty, so it is better to be cautious, so there is no need to say this again, we can all understand." ”

But obviously, Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui also knew very well that Shen Weibing actually came to Liaodong in person today, and he rushed over on this day when the ice and snow had just melted, and he also brought a large amount of military salaries, so there must be something to discuss with them.

Man Gui also stood up and said: "Shen Gui, although the snow in the ground has melted now, it is still cold outside this wilderness, so it is better for us to talk about it in the advanced military camp." ”

When Shen Weibing heard this, he also nodded hurriedly and said, "That's just right, this official also happens to have something on his side, and he wants to discuss it with the two of you." ”

Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui glanced at each other, and they couldn't quite guess what Shen Weibing had to discuss with them.

As boxes and boxes of silver were transported into the barracks, the soldiers in the barracks cheered one after another.

There were some Liaodong generals who originally came out to make some trouble to show the imperial court and urge the imperial court's food and salary.

But as things stand, it doesn't have to be.

Because the imperial court automatically transported the military salaries that should have been given to them in advance.

After the three of them entered the big tent, the two sides sat down.

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but throw out an introduction after all, and said: "This time, Shen gave the matter of coming thousands of miles to Liaodong, which really flattered me. ”

"It's just that I've been staying in Liaodong, and I don't know so much about the outside world."

"Especially about the situation in the capital, the two of us don't know anything, why don't you tell us about the current situation in the capital in the middle of the matter?"
