Chen Xuanli's question was asked in the middle of a drunken ear, and Gu Zuo also said with a smile: "The world in southern Xinjiang is vast, there are countless opportunities, the general wants to make a fortune, this matter is not difficult, there is a lot of cooperation!"

Gu Zuo's sentence was just an intentional answer, indicating that he was willing to do business with Chen Xuanli, but whether Chen Xuanli was polite or really had this idea, he didn't know, so he could only answer vaguely.

When Chen Xuanli heard this, he toasted him with a glass of wine, then struck his palms, the music stopped, the musicians and female performers in the corridor left their seats one after another, and the hall immediately fell silent.

Chong Xiuxiu hurriedly got up, saying that she had to go back to the Xihe Road Pavilion to prepare for the dance, and there would be her show at Xiongmiaotai tomorrow night, Gu Zuo would send her out and return in the carriage of General Longwu's mansion.

When he returned to the hall, there were already more sergeants patrolling all around, and Gu Zuo also got up solemnly and returned to the table and sat solemnly.

Chen Xuanli smiled: "Huai Xian Mo is nervous, in fact, it is not a big deal, it is just a habit in our army." ”

Gu Zuo glanced at the other four people in the hall, the lieutenant of the guard, the general of the left and right guards, and the secretary of the army, all of whom were Chen Xuanli's henchmen, all looking at him with blazing eyes.

I only heard Chen Xuanli say: "Shicai Huaixian has agreed, find a way to make a fortune for my Long Wujun, come, I will toast to Huaixian!"

The generals sang in unison and toasted to Gu Zuo. This is forcing the palace, if you don't agree, you have to agree, Gu Zuo couldn't cry or laugh, and after thinking about it for a while, isn't this what he wants? Don't care what to do, you must be resolute in your statement, and it can be regarded as repaying Chen Xuanli's mediation last year, so he raised his neck and raised his glass.

Chen Xuanli praised: "Happy!" Several generals also praised and smiled.

Gu Zuo said: "You really roasted Gu on the fire, in fact, this matter is difficult to say, and it is easy to say that it is not difficult." Let's build a trade road, open a shop in Nanwu Prefecture, sell goods from the Central Plains, I will give you all the fees for this shop, pick the best lot, build a big shop for you, and send a residential yard, enough for you to live for 50 people. ”

He snapped his fingers and said: "Second, you can set up a shop in Chang'an, specializing in selling southern Xinjiang specialties, rest assured, I will help you buy things and ensure that you are fifty percent profitable!"

The clerk joined the army and asked, "In this case, can you earn 100,000 yuan a year?"

Gu Zuo was stunned, looked at the few people in front of him, and said in his heart that the annual income was 100,000, and the per capita income was 20,000 yuan? How big is this appetite? The two shops he planned in his heart, the annual income of 10,000 yuan can be guaranteed, not to mention Chen Xuanli and a few of them, and some more generals are enough. With this and Long Wujun in this relationship, this business can be done.

But he didn't expect the other party's expectation to be 100,000, which was a bit too much.

As if he saw his thoughts, the record joined the army and hurriedly explained: "If it weren't for our greed, we also know that the number of 100,000 guan is quite large, and it is difficult to take care of Changshi, but without this number, it can't be used to make up for the army's baggage, and three thousand brothers eat horses and chew, and they have to get 200,000 a year." ”

Gu Zuoqi said: "The dignified dragon Wuwei, the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven, is there even a shortage ......of military baggage?

The record officer joined the army and said angrily: "It's not Wang Jie's father and son, the king thief relies on His Majesty's trust, amasses money, and loots everywhere, his son is just a household Langzhong, but he covers the sky in the household department, and even the household department's annual income dares to swallow up, and the management department can't get the money, only allocated 100,000 yuan, and the remaining is not enough for me to wait for myself to find a way, it is really a miracle in the world!"

Gu Zuo felt incredible: "I've heard of the revenue of the Mohu Department, but it's unbelievable that it's so greedy that even the army can't even pay enough." Your Majesty doesn't care?"

Na Lu joined the army and said: "Now they are all in charge of the political affairs hall, and they are all suppressed by Li Xiang." "Look at good books

"Why is Lee Xiang like this?

"We don't know if there is a profit or not, but most of the time there is. Li Xiang also knew that the household department was short of money and food, otherwise he would not have issued the "Edict on Self-Raising Money and Grain for the Metropolitan Government of Each Section", which was simply stupid!"

Gu Zuo listened to him explain the content of the edict, and couldn't help but sigh: "The disaster of the world began with this edict, and Li Xiang'an dared to do so." Fan Yang will be opposed!"

The four generals nodded in unison, all agreeing with Gu Zuo's judgment. Gu Zuo turned his head and asked Chen Xuanli: "The general is His Majesty's personal general, can't he say anything about the lack of military baggage?"

Chen Xuanli shook his head: "Recently, Your Majesty's mind is not above the government and politics, and everything should be paid to the political affairs hall. At that time, General Gao made a statement, saying that it was advisable to make the border generals support their own troops, and in the long run, it would be a big trouble for the henchmen. But His Majesty didn't listen...... Your Majesty can't even listen to the Hussar General, let alone me?"

Although the actions of the Son of Heaven are getting closer and closer to the Son of Heaven in Gu Zuo's mind, Gu Zuo still can't help but be curious: "What is Your Majesty doing?"

Chen Xuanli was silent, Gu Zuo bowed his hand to apologize, his unintentional words were already "in private voyeurism", and Chen Xuanli couldn't answer.

Gu Zuo now understands that the household department can't come up with the money, and the Longwu Guards have a big gap, and today's banquet is Chen Xuanli's desire to open a breakthrough from Nanzhao and earn a sum of money for his generals.

"Although the border generals can collect taxes within the military town on their own, the forbidden army is different after all, and cooperating with Nanwu Prefecture to make a living is probably criticized by China and foreign countries, and Nanwu Prefecture is also a border state after all. Gu Zuo expressed his concerns.

The record joined the army and took over: "Let Long Wuwei raise money and food by himself, this is approved by Li Xiang's own handwriting, Gu Changshi doesn't need to worry." ”

Gu Zuo nodded, and began to think in his heart. Long Wuwei belongs to the forbidden army, stationed in Beijing, the salary is very high, among the three thousand soldiers, there are about 2,500 ordinary soldiers, these are martial artists rather than monks, and the food and military pay are almost twenty-four per year, which is sixty thousand. Of the remaining 500 officers, seven have become qi practitioners, and if each person has 60 guan per year, this is 21,000 guan, 120 foundation building officers have 12,000 guan per year, and the remaining 30 senior officers above the golden pill level have 10,000 guan per year, which adds up to 103,000 guan.

The ordnance was allocated to the general as a supervisor, and the military horses were also arranged by the Taifu Temple, so it could not be spent. The real money needed was forage for the horses, the maintenance of the ordnance, and the cost of the prison and the temple of the servants. Even if this piece is added, Long Wuwei's annual expenditure is only thirteen or forty thousand, and 150,000 is the sky!

There is a gap of 30,000 or 40,000, and 50,000 are dead.

At this point, he secretly rejoiced, fortunately, he had learned more about the formation of the forbidden army from people who knew how to do it before he came, otherwise he would have been deceived by these soldiers today.

When he was settling accounts here, several Zhonglang generals were staring at him, while Chen Xuanli was sipping wine one by one, waiting unhurriedly, and the hall was silent, so quiet that he could even hear the embroidery needles falling on the ground.

Suddenly, Gu Zuo drank a glass of wine, put the wine glass on the table, and with a "snap", several Zhonglang generals shook their hearts, and Chen Xuanli's eyelids jumped, looking at Gu Zuo.

I listened to Gu Zuodao: "100,000 guan can't do it, 30,000 guan can, I'll find a way to ensure more than 30,000 guan every year, maybe 40,000 guan or 50,000 guan if you do it well, how about it?"

Several Zhonglang stretched their brows, and seemed to be more satisfied, and the reporter looked at Chen Xuanli, and then raised his glass to Gu Zuo: "Then thank you Gu Changshi!

Gu Zuo shook his head and said, "Don't thank me first, Gu still has a condition, if it doesn't work, it won't be easy to get 30,000 yuan." ”

The reporter joined the army and said: "Gu Changshi, please speak." ”
