Halfway through the wine and food, Tang Feng said tentatively, "Lord Xin, I still want to apply for some more equipment?"

Xin Congyun frowned and said, "You have already overreceived three hundred people's things last time, what do you want so many for?"

"That ......," Tang Feng took a sip of wine and said leisurely, "I want to attack the Northern Han." “

"Poof!" Xin Congyun just took a sip of wine into his mouth and squirted out directly, his eyes widened as he watched the corners of Tang Feng's mouth twitch.

Xin Chao on the side rolled his eyes: "My father, you listen to him talking nonsense with you." “

"Hehe!" Tang Feng hurriedly smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm joking with you for the New Year." “

"Stinky boy!" Xin Congyun can't lose his temper here even if he is not angry.

After eating, Tang Feng came to Xin Congyun's study and mentioned what happened just now: "Lord Xin, it's hard to say something about the meal just now, but the matter of applying for equipment is not a joke. As he spoke, he took out the list he had written earlier and handed it to Xin Congyun.

Xin Congyun looked at the list and frowned, and said, "Isn't this a joke? The establishment of the lower city is two hundred, and you have a thousand." “

"I know my request is a bit exaggerated, but Lord Xin also has to be considerate of our difficulties, first, once the Wu Acropolis is close to the border, once there is danger, it will be the first barrier of the same moon city, so the strength of the Wu Acropolis is also related to the safety of the same moon city. Second, Tongyue City is guarded by a garrison but we don't, and the strength of the defenders of the lower city I think Lord Xin also knows that the city lord of Penn City was killed by the house of the defenders of the lower city. “

Tang Feng said what he had thought of a long time ago, especially when the city lord of Penn City was beheaded because the three lower cities under him were broken, it caused a lot of shock in the officialdom of the Northland, of course Xin Congyun remembered it clearly, but he only frowned and didn't mean to let go.

Tang Feng knew that Xin Congyun was also from the army after all, it was useless to blindly intimidate, and he had to benefit after the intimidation, so he said again: "Third, all the cost of raising troops in Wuwei City will be borne by ourselves, and we will never use a single silver coin in Zhongcheng. ”

"Really?" Xin Congyun was a little moved, this point actually attracted him a lot, it was not how much money Wu Weicheng could save in the same month city, but the grain and grass money that Zhongcheng would allocate to each Xia City every year 100,000 silver coins, if Wu Weicheng could not do it, then he could find a way to get his pocket back.

"It's true!" Tang Feng nodded, and then added the last straw to him: "Lord Xin, it's hard work." As he spoke, he handed over a few more deposit tickets, and Xin Congyun picked them up and looked at them to see that they were 500,000.

Don't look at Tang Feng's destruction of the top ten gangs in Wuwei City, the bottom is six million, and he doesn't use the silver coins as money, that is the accumulation of the top ten gangs for two or three years, and they can't make up the price of 500,000 yuan for the Sun family at the beginning, so Xin Congyun was completely crushed in front of the 500,000 silver coins.

He smiled and wanted to suppress his snickering emotions, so he said so contradictoryly: "Tang City Lord, I understand what you mean now, I think your request is completely reasonable, and I am also very supportive of you, but I am afraid that I will have to talk to several other adults in Tongyue City about this matter." ”

"Ah, don't you say anything?" Tang Feng looked at Xin Congyun in surprise, and he wanted to go back the 500,000 deposit tickets.

Xin Congyun immediately changed his words: "Tang City Lord, please rest assured, just meet and talk, I will do the rest." ”

Of course, Tang Feng knew that Xin Congyun would not be able to stop it if he fully supported the others, but he was not worried, after all, in addition to the taxes, many treasures were also brought together this time, which were sugar-coated shells, specially used to corrupt officials. He just showed Xin Congyun just now, after all, it would be safer for both sides to succeed: "Then thank you Lord Xin." ”

Xin Congyun smiled and said, "It should be." He thought about it again: "Tomorrow night, I will book a table of wine in the Zuixian Building in the city, and I will call the other adults, and we still have to do the things in the face." ”

"It's still Lord Xin's thoughtfulness!" Tang Feng's mouth curled up with an evil smile.

Zuixianlou is a high-end restaurant on the top of the city in the same month, Tang Feng booked a private room on the third floor and waited for the arrival of all the adults, he brought Zhuge Tingxuan, Fubo and Hu Zhuzi today, after all, this is a work banquet, and he also needs a few helpers.

When night fell, the lights were on, and several adults came, including the city lord Xin Congyun, the deputy city lord Hao Zhong, the deputy city lord Li Jingshen, and the garrison general Wang Bingmo...... Seven or eight people came in one breath, and the restaurant owner saw that all the big people were and hurriedly cleared the third floor.

Your lords are still very curious about this city lord who stirred up the storm in Wuwei City, most of the time he came to see people at night, he could be hand-picked by the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and after he arrived, he was ruthless enough and several big families were subdued by him, it was really not simple.

At the beginning of the banquet, Tang Feng discovered another characteristic of Zhuge Tingxuan, don't look at him who is usually gentle and doesn't like to talk, but he is a person who is very good at communicating with others, those adults around him who have drunk with him, and then chatted a few words of poetry and song to become his confidant, this ability even Tang Feng was dumbfounded.

In the end, under the impetus of the city lord Xin Congyun, and under the corrosion of the "sugar-coated cannonballs" brought by Tang Feng and them, things went very smoothly, and it was better than expected, and the equipment of their 1,000 people was not only satisfied, but also according to the configuration of two bed crossbows on each city gate, after getting eight bed crossbows, of course, what they got was only permission in the establishment, and the equipment money and next year's taxes had to be sent together.

After the matter was done, Tang Feng and his party returned to Wuwei City, but it was a pity that there were a hundred people when they went, and there were sixty people left when they came back. After coming back, Tang Feng didn't say anything, just waited for a safe New Year.

This year's Spring Festival is a bit different for Wu Weicheng, like a seriously ill patient regaining his life under some fierce medicine and some painful treatments. People are very happy, cherished, and even a little cautious, for fear that today's peace and tranquility are all illusions, you must know that last year they didn't even dare to eat meat for the New Year, for fear that the people of the ten major gangs would come to the door to ask for money, maybe those shadows they will have to forget for several years.

New Year, New Weather, many of these people in the City Lord's Mansion are not locals, but they are also about to settle down here, for example, Fubo is very fast, and he went back to Tongyue City to deal with the old house and bought a new house in Wuwei City when he came back, and someone is telling him about his daughter-in-law recently.

Today is the first meeting of the City Lord's Mansion after the New Year, and after a while, Fubo's joke will get to the point, Tang Feng is worried about the bandits encountered last year, and he said: "If you want to get rich, you must first suppress the bandits!"
