Chapter 171: Insults from businessmen
The next day, the five hundred soldiers who originally lived in the west schoolyard of the city opened a camp on the side of the Minzhou military camp led by Chang Le. All the tents and equipment they brought were settled and took care of them. However, it took a morning to take care of them. In the afternoon, Chang Le brought the five hundred soldiers into the military camp, and Qin Huaiyu was also accompanied by Qin Huaiyu.
Qin Huaiyu only heard that Xuan Shijing trained a team of troops in Dongshan County, but he had never seen the appearance of this team. When he saw it today, he was shocked. How big is His Majesty the Majesty has to keep taking it with him without taking it back.
Obviously, in the three years in Dongshan County, these five hundred soldiers had been sharpened into sharp blades, and the only thing they lacked was the baptism of the enemy's blood.
The process of familiarizing these 500 soldiers with 30,000 Minzhou soldiers was only one afternoon, and Chang Le sent them together, and one soldier with 60 Minzhou soldiers to train.
Minzhou is mountainous, so naturally there are jungle trees. Chang Le thinks that innate training here, the innate conditions are much better than Dongshan County. As for military spending and food, that is what his marquis should worry about.
The equipment used for training was naturally made by the Minzhou army who went to the mountains to cut down trees and transported them back. The things were made. The Minzhou army was watching foolishly, not knowing how to use them, and they didn't know that these things would be their nightmare in the next period of time.
If the Minzhou army trained like this with the Dongshan County government soldiers, the money spent would not be a small amount. In addition to the army itself going to pick up some food in the forest, the supply of the government office is also indispensable. Since it is necessary to supply, it must be spent. Fortunately, there is enough food stored in the granary of the Minzhou City Government Office, which can support it for a period of time.
Xuan Shijing's requirements are not high, and it is enough to support 30,000 people in one month of training. After one month, the Minzhou army will face Tuyuhun head-on. As long as it is handled properly, it will be very profitable to fight.
As for money, the team transporting military pay in Chang'an has set off, and Shangzhou will soon send back what Li Zhi took away. In this way, the Minzhou Prefecture Office, just the Minzhou army's military pay, is only double, and one is used to train the army, which is enough.
As for the money and food stored in the treasury, you will have everything after the war is over.
Qin Huaiyu and Chang Le lived in the military camp, and Qin Huaiyu also wanted to see how Chang Le trained these lazy Minzhou soldiers.
Among the government offices in Minzhou, only Xuan Shijing, Qin Bingyue and Gao Jun were left. In addition to the two minor officials and the government office’s grass-roots team, there were only five people. Faced with the continuous daily events, Xuan Shijing could barely deal with them.
After receiving Xuan Shijing's instructions, the caravan stationed in Minzhou immediately dressed up and went to Tuyuhun, and then the news about Tuyuhun would be spread to Minzhou continuously.
In the hall, Xuan Shijing sat till hem behind the desk, looking at the merchants below.
These merchants were all told by Xuan Shijing to inform Gao Jun that they were here. They were all relatively large local merchants in Minzhou who were doing overseas transactions all year round and had contacts with Tuyuhun.
Xuan Shijing summoned them today for military training.
"Today I will gather you into this Minzhou Prefecture. I think Gao Jun has already explained some reasons when he went to find you. I want to hear it now, so what do you think." Xuan Shijing said to the person below.
One of the merchants looked at the companions standing beside him, pondered for a while, then bowed and said, "Marty, as a merchant in Minzhou, we should benefit the people of Minzhou. If Tuyuhun attacks, we should work together to resist foreign enemies. However, as winter approaches, there are still many foreign accounts outside that have not been recovered, and there is really not much money left in my hand. However, in order to show my support for the Martyr's administration in Minzhou, I would like to go back and buy 500 kilograms of pork and send them to the camp to encourage the soldiers to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions and defend Minzhou."
Obviously, these businessmen didn't want to contribute money and work for no reason. As for five hundred kilograms of pork, it was just a matter of a few cents of money, and they wouldn't be able to slap the marquis in the face.
"The rest of you mean the same?" Xuan Shijing's eyes fell on the other people.
"this......"
Some people are not sure about it, but after feeling sorry for the money in their pockets, they all said that they would pay for some meat to send to the army. The most was that they would pay more than 900 kilograms of pork.
A bunch of masters who don’t see rabbits and don’t show eagles.
"I might as well tell you the truth. There must be a battle between Minzhou and Tuyuhun, and the scale of this battle will not be smaller." Xuan Shijing said.
What benefits does Xuan Shijing get when he fights a little? Naturally, the more happy he fights, the more miserable he fights, the more oil and water he gets to get.
The few businessmen standing below didn't know what Xuan Shijing meant to say this to them.
"War is a matter of making money for me. I thought that everyone would make money together. Since I didn't plan to join, I wouldn't force myself to give up Gao Jun, and send him off." Xuan Shijing said to Gao Jun.
"Yes." Gao Jun responded, then turned around and looked at the businessmen in the hall: "Several, please."
The merchants looked at each other, and Xuan Shijing's words made them confused. Although they heard the word "get rich", they could not understand what this marquis meant.
"Please let the marquis tell you clearly." One of the merchants refused to leave and asked withdrew.
He had heard of Xuan Shijing's name. He didn't know much about this marquis himself, but he knew that behind the Chamber of Commerce of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was this marquis.
The current prosperous Tang Chamber of Commerce is the leading chamber of commerce in the entire Tang Dynasty.
"I can only say that the chamber of commerce under my name has set out to Tuyuhun. As for what to do, I will not be able to talk to you more. Please come back, please." Xuan Shijing said coldly.
As for these merchants, when they said five hundred kilograms of pork, Xuan Shijing had no good feelings for them.
Even if the Minzhou government office is poor, it is not short of the dozen chunks of money from them. Are they the ones who are serving beggars? What's more, the Minzhou army fought against Tuyuhun for life. Who is the defender? Isn't the biggest beneficiary still these merchants?
Since they were given the opportunity to humiliate Xuan Shijing, they did not need to participate in this matter.
Xuan Shijing waved his hand and signaled Gao Jun to see him off.
If Gao Jun hadn't used his name, he might not have invited these people.
