Chapter 5 Where Does Military Spending Come From?
"Wan Er, you're really carefree, you don't care about anything. Zhao Tianlang said and walked in, quickly sat down and drank a sip of water, this period of time has been very busy for a while, and he has to take care of everything in the army.
"Hard work. With that, Manji poured him a glass of water.
"I'll accompany you to the army this afternoon, and you, the Grand Commander, can't always show up. Zhao Tianlang said.
"Good. "Wan Er has always obeyed his arrangement.
"Chan'er asked me to call you to eat at home, and I don't know what is good about you to make her so worried. Zhao Tianlang said, faintly able to hear a little jealousy.
With that, the two of them set off for Bluestone Lane without alarming anyone, only in this way could her safety be guaranteed.
Until now, no one knows that it was him who killed Li Baidao in the night rain and occupied Quzhou City, in fact, no one cares where he went, I'm afraid it's too late for them to be happy, without him, those villagers have lived a lot.
"Second Brother Wan, you're back. Pushing the door in, Zhao Chan immediately greeted her and said.
"Hmph, I'm your own brother, so I know how to turn my elbow out. Zhao Tianlang said that now he is not the strategist who directs the country at all, but an elder brother, a jealous elder brother.
"Okay, brother, let's go in and eat. Zhao Chan put her arm around Zhao Tianlang and said, which made him feel better, and glanced at Wan Er with a provocative eye.
The three of them sat down, ate these home-cooked foods, and felt the rare warmth, which is like a home, and they are the most important family.
The three seem to have returned to their childhood, when the three orphans depended on each other, and from then on, they were destined to be a family.
Wan Er didn't know that Zhao Tianlang had always regarded himself as an elder brother in his heart, and he would never forget the little back in front of them.
After eating, they set out again towards the garrison.
Those soldiers all knew Wan Er and Zhao Tianlang, and they walked in directly without reporting them.
Now these soldiers are not the same as when Li Baidao led them, at that time they were completely a rabble, and now, the sound of fighting and roaring can be heard from afar.
Needless to say, among the three of them, the only one who can lead the troops is Fu Junqing, he is strong in martial arts, and he is very suitable for training soldiers.
After entering, they saw those soldiers training on the training ground like tigers and wolves, indeed, their changes were visible to the naked eye, although these soldiers did not dare to say that they could compete with the elite teams of those big countries, but it was not a problem to deal with their ordinary soldiers at all.
A real warrior has to go through the baptism of war, and only after experiencing life and death can he be sharpened, Wan Er believes that he must be an iron-blooded army in the future.
These people will be their backbone in the future, and if they want to develop and grow, it is not enough for one person to develop and grow, and it is impossible for leaders to do everything themselves, so they must not only be able to fight, but also be able to fight.
However, just when Wan Er and they sighed about Fu Junqing's ability, they realized that Fu Junqing was not very reliable when they saw the scene in front of them, and they might not be able to rest assured that they would hand over the army to him.
Our Fuda sect leader is now sitting on the Taishi chair in a big way, holding a pot of wine in his hand, drunk, taking a nap from time to time, and living a good and uncomfortable life.
"Fu Junqing, is this how you led the troops?" Seeing his appearance, Zhao Tianlang couldn't help but scold.
"I don't care about you, I have my own methods, as long as I can practice well, you care how I lead the troops. Fu Junqing retorted, leaving him speechless, indeed, although this guy is not in tune, he has to admit that this soldier is indeed good.
"If you have time, let's think about how to get military spending, there's not much money. Fu Junqing said.
This can stump Zhao Tianlang, if you want to say that he is definitely a good hand at leading troops to fight, but when it comes to making money, he really doesn't know what to do.
"It's okay, I'll leave the military expenses to me. Who knew that Wan Er, who had always been the shopkeeper, suddenly spoke.
"Do you have a way?" said Fu Junqing, looking incredulous.
"Yes, but with your cooperation. Wan Er said.
"Tell me about it. Zhao Tianlang said.
Then the three of them got together and muttered quietly, and from time to time you could see Wan Er's face with a wicked smile, but it was not a serious way to think about it.
"You're so shameless. After listening to his method, Zhao Tianlang couldn't help but say.
"I like it, though. Then he added.
Then, within a few days, all the merchants in the city were looted, and I don't know who it was, and the guards in the city were knocked unconscious, and they moved very fast, and after entering the door, they took valuable things, and then immediately retreated, so that people had no choice.
On this day, Wan Er was sitting on the top of the lobby, and below sat people in gorgeous clothes, who were eating fat heads and big ears, and their eyes revealed cunning.
These are the same businessmen who have been robbed these days, and their faces reveal anger.
"We are paying heavy taxes to the city, and now that we are being robbed, the general should also take action, otherwise I am afraid that the thieves will be more emboldened, and Quzhou City will not be a city. One of the merchants below said, his tone a little unkind.
He can't be blamed, they have been back and forth to this city lord's mansion many times, and this Wan Er has always been perfunctory to them, saying good words, but not seeing any action.
Now, there are only Wan Er and these merchants in the lobby, as well as some servants and subordinates, and only Wan Er is left in the trio, and Zhao Tianlang and Fu Junqing have not shown up, because they are really ashamed to appear.
"Boss Wang, I understand what you said, and I also know your contributions to the city, you are the mainstay of Quzhou City, I am really sad that such a thing happened. Wan Er said, the expression on his face was also very in place, as if he was really heartbroken.
"Hmph. Hearing his words, Boss Wang below snorted coldly.
Wan Er has heard these words many times, and the first time he heard it, he was also moved in his heart, and now he feels completely like some, something, and it sounds good.
"In fact, I have been working hard to investigate in the past few days, and the hard work has paid off, and I have achieved some results, and now I can basically determine who did it. Wan Er took a sip of tea, calmed down, and said again.
"Who is it?" the merchant below hurriedly asked.
"According to my people tracking, they were seen entering Yellowstone. Wan Er said, the implicit meaning is self-evident, naturally he is a thief in Huangshi Mountain.
In fact, the bandits in Huangshi Mountain have existed for a long time, in the past, they just robbed some passers-by, clamped their tails and made people, in this troubled world, naturally no one will be idle and have nothing to do to suppress bandits.
Who knew they would be so bold this time.
"This thief on Huangshi Mountain is so blind that he dares to openly enter my Quzhou City to rob, this is starting to slap me in the face, and he doesn't take me in the slightest, is it really good for me to bully?" Wan Er said angrily, with gritted teeth in his tone, just like the real thing.
"It's really too deceitful, in this case, I also ask the general to send troops to suppress bandits and eliminate harm for the people. The merchant below said.
"Alas, I won't hide it from you, it's not that I don't want to send troops, it's really more than enough and my strength is insufficient, if you can't do it, you can swallow this evil breath for the time being, I will definitely strengthen the guards in the city, and do my best to protect everyone's safety. Wan Er said helplessly.
"I think the adults are afraid, it's not that I said, if it was the former General Li, I'm afraid that he would have sent troops to Huangshi Mountain by now, maybe he would have stepped on the cottage. A businessman said that he was really bold, and the General Li he said was naturally Li Baidao.
"Put your mother's bullshit, will Lao Tzu be inferior to Li Baidao?" Wan Er heard his words and slapped the table directly and stood up and said loudly, in fact, he was also in his arms.
Hearing his words, many armored soldiers suddenly poured in outside the door, one by one with neat steps and serious expressions, just waiting for Wan Er's order.
"Stand down, it's none of your business here. Wan Er said to the soldiers who came in, and they retreated.
This frightened those merchants, and they realized that although this soldier looked kind, he was also a soldier with a heavy army in one hand, and there was a certain reason why the ancients did not fight with officials.
"I wonder what is the difficulty of the general?" said a businessman, cautiously, now honest.
"Everyone also knows that I killed Li Baidao to eliminate harm for the people, it was all for you, think about it, how is Li Baidao compared to him in these days when I am here?" Wan Er said.
Indeed, compared to Li Baidao Waner, it is indeed much better, just saying that reducing taxes has saved them a lot of money, and his military discipline is strict, and he also has less money to honor soldiers, which is indeed good.
"After killing Li Baidao, my duke was selfless and scattered all his belongings to those soldiers, which shows his sincerity. Manji continued.
He is really shameless, what bullshit duke selflessly kills in the name of harm, it's not all for himself, what he says now is high-sounding, fortunately Zhao Tianlang and they didn't show up, otherwise I'm afraid they will regret letting him be this commander, it's really shameless.
"The general, please speak up. The merchant below said.
"I don't say everything, scatter all your belongings, what else do you want to fight, now I have a problem eating, how can I fight?" Wan Er said.
Now those businessmen understand that they want to ask them for money when they go around and around, and it is so much trouble to say.
"How much does the general need?" said one of the merchants.
"As you are, 10,000 taels shouldn't be a problem. Wan Er said.
"Well, my lord, I think your proposal just now is good, so it should be okay to be on guard. The merchant below said.
Just kidding, 10,000 taels is almost a thousand taels evenly distributed to each of them, and the amount that those thieves snatched away is only this amount, and now they have to let so many more come out, how can they be willing.
"No, I have made up my mind, after listening to what you just said, I am really high-spirited, I will definitely do better what Li Baidao can do, he will step on the Yellowstone cottage one day, and give you justice. Wan Er said, impassioned.
"That's it, let's discuss, I'll go to the door in three days, and then gather the troops to attack Yellowstone Mountain. ”
