After Wu Shigong posed for a while, he turned around and asked Deng Qifan: "Mr. Deng, let's get down to business! What strategy should I take in this situation? Can Mr. Deng teach me?"

It is one thing to restore one's confidence, but to solve the current problem is the real thing. Wu Shigong hopes that Deng Qifan, the chief staff member, will come up with a clever plan, hoping that he can find a way to extricate himself from the current predicament.

"There is no good strategy." Deng Qifan shook his head and replied. Deng Qifan's answer broke Wu Shigong's hope, but it was not beyond Wu Shigong's expectation, so Wu Shigong was not too disappointed with Deng Qifan's answer.

Deng Qifan then thought about it and said to Wu Shigong: "Sir, the only way is to 'delay'. I hope it will change as time goes by."

Wu Shigong also thought for a moment, nodded and replied: "That's all."

At this point, Deng Qifan walked up to Wu Shigong, bowed his hands and said, "Sir, our Runing camp is so powerful this time! In just one or two days, we robbed the Nanyang Mansion Iron Mine. The students thought this was a suppression campaign.

The banditry will still last for a long time. I never thought that the elite soldiers trained by you would be so brave!"

"You don't need to be so polite to me," Wu Shigong replied with a smile. But there was a hint of a bitter smile in his smile. Wu Shigong had been in contact with Deng Qifan for a long time, and he also knew Deng Qifan's speaking habits.

Deng Qifan is not in the habit of flattering Wu Shigong all the time. When he says good things to Wu Shigong, he will often make a twist at the end and say some offensive words of advice. To be honest, Wu Shigong has already

He was so worried that he hated to hear any more God-like words.

Sure enough, as Wu Shigong expected, Deng Qifan then said "But!" Wu Shigong smiled bitterly and shook his head, listening to Deng Qifan continue to say, "Can you settle the score for sending troops this time? In terms of food and salary, the gains outweigh the losses!"

"Although your Excellency has received three thousand taels of military expenses from the Nanyang gentry, except for the wages of the conscripts and the pensions for the casualties, there is nothing. Although you have received an iron ore, a saltpeter ore and two county salt goods, you can get nothing.

After the iron ore and saltpeter mines are completed, plus the iron-making workshop, a large sum of money will have to be invested before the Lord can make any profit. This will not satisfy the immediate hunger and thirst."

"That's all. It can finally increase the income of Runing Camp. But your Excellency has built another Nanyang Camp. The money for building the Nanyang Camp and the food and salary for the new soldiers in Nanyang Camp are another waste of money.

pin."

"Also, the Internal Affairs Department that Your Excellency is going to establish with Xue Qiang will also have indispensable expenses for its establishment and personnel. Originally, the student thought that the establishment of the Internal Affairs Department could be delayed for a while, waiting for the cash flow to come back. But this time Your Excellency is going to send troops to Liaodong.

, in order to ensure order in these two prefectures and counties, the establishment of the Department of Internal Affairs really cannot be slowed down."

Wu Shigong named the unit that Xue Qiang was responsible for, which was similar to the modern armed police, the Department of Internal Affairs. According to Wu Shigong's idea, the leader of the Department of Internal Affairs would also receive pay, and his team members would more or less be exempted from paying some to Wu Shigong.

There is a food tax, so although the food and salary for the personnel in this department is not as large as that for the same number of soldiers in the army, the total amount of food and salary is not a small amount.

Wu Shigong frowned, and his mood also jumped out of the joy of Nanyang Mansion's victory. Wu Shigong asked: "Then how long can our Runing camp sustain it?"

"The student also made careful calculations with the accountant. Based on the current income and expenditure of Runing Camp, it can support the company until the middle to the end of the sixth year of Chongzhen. However, there cannot be any other unexpected expenses. But we in Runing Camp are facing

There is a hurdle, but the food, wages and expenses for the expedition to Liaodong still have nowhere to go!"

Wu Shigong sighed secretly in his heart: "To say that my identity in time travel is not too bad, my luck can also be said to be unsatisfactory. However, to establish such a small foundation, more than 70% of the energy spent was used on

Get some money here."

"No wonder the other time-travelers know how to use gold fingers. It turns out that they can stop worrying about making money and focus on fighting for hegemony or reciting poems to pick up girls!"

Anyway, I couldn't envy this matter. Wu Shigong felt deeply that a penny could stump a heroic man. So he said to Deng Qifan: "The accounts of the Runing camp will be classified as top secret. Except for you and me and the accountant who settle the accounts,

Those gentlemen, none of them can know the specific accounts of our Runing Camp. Even the families of the accounting gentlemen must be controlled. As for the issue of money! We also need to brainstorm and discuss with the other gentlemen.

Let’s wait a little longer!”

After finishing the conversation with Deng Qifan, Wu Shigong immediately called Xue Zhinong over. He arranged for Xue Zhinong's Shanchuan Division to find out as soon as possible the exact time when the imperial court ordered Wu Shigong to mobilize troops at all costs.

Although Wu Shigong had already learned from Guo Zeng'an that Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, had already transferred him to Liaodong to fight the Tatars, but according to the protracted administrative procedures of the Ming Dynasty, the order to transfer troops was sent from the cabinet to the Ministry of War, and then from the Ministry of War.

The process of sending an official document to the Henan Governor's Yamen still takes some time. For Wu Shigong now, the sooner he knows the time to mobilize troops, the better. This also allows him to prepare early and not be caught off guard.

Since this was a matter of life and death for the Runing camp, Wu Shigong no longer considered the difficulties of Xue Zhinong's Shanchuan Division. He also issued a fatal order to Xue Zhinong, asking Xue Zhinong to absolutely complete the tasks he had assigned.

But after Xue Zhinong accepted this death order, he was frowning. The Shanchuan Division was established not long ago, and it only had some influence in Runing Prefecture and Guide Prefecture. It did not open up the situation in Kaifeng City, the capital of Henan Province, let alone

It was said that it was at the center of the capital.

At this moment, it was too late to spend money and go to various yamen in Henan to bribe some officials and servants. After thinking about it, Xue Zhinong only came up with a way to push out Tang Mei who had not yet been trained.

Send her to the home of the governor of Henan and let Tang Mei understand the order to mobilize Wu Shigong.

Just do it. Although the operation of this "beauty trap" is a bit complicated, it is still relatively simple to say. Xue Zhinong used Li's mother's relationship in the Fengyue world to send Tang Mei to a brothel in Kaifeng City to list it.

Then Xue Zhinong offered a lot of benefits to that brothel and asked the brothel's madam to send Tang Mei to a meeting place for officials, and suggested that Tang Mei want to be a good person and commit herself to being an official here.

For girls in brothels at that time, this kind of thinking was normal, so Xue Zhinong's arrangement did not arouse anyone's suspicion. This Tang Mei also has the charm of a southern girl, and has the reputation of Yangzhou flower cards.

In this era, famous brands are really the most popular ones. They must be labeled to guard against counterfeiting.

So it went very smoothly, and Tang Mei was spotted by an official present. However, Xue Zhinong could arrange the process, but could not control the outcome. The person who liked Tang Mei turned out to be the Henan Military Supervisor--Xiao Yuegui, Eunuch Xiao!?

Knowing that Tang Mei had actually used a beauty trap on an eunuch, Xue Zhinong felt the bitter autumn wind and felt chills all over. However, the ugly daughter-in-law always wanted to see her parents-in-law, so Xue Zhinong had no choice but to bite the bullet and report the news to his uncle-Wu Shigong.

.

But what Xue Zhinong didn't expect was that Wu Shigong wasn't angry after hearing the news, he just smiled with an interesting expression. Xue Zhinong didn't know that Wu Shigong was thinking: "At that time, Eunuch Qin in the capital was going to tell nonsense.

And this Eunuch Xiao will also marry a wife. It seems that this Ming Dynasty eunuch was physically disabled but strong in spirit!"

Wu Shigong and Xue Zhinong didn't know that in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to finding food in the palace, it was also common for eunuchs to marry wives and concubines among the people. Regarding this matter, Wu Shigong and Xue Zhinong were a little surprised.

However, the main reason why Wu Shigong did not blame Xue Zhinong was that Eunuch Xiao was also one of the officials qualified to receive Wu Shigong's order to mobilize troops. Tang Mei could also play the same role when she came to Eunuch Xiao's house. As for Tang Mei's
