Without these investigations, Lu Yu would probably be just a polished commander when he came to Zuojun Mansion.
Soldiers, money, and power have always been the three most important elements.
Now, the Wang family has completely controlled his military power and political power. When he comes, I am afraid he will only become a puppet.
"The last governor of the Left Army, who was said to be a count, was actually poisoned. I was still surprised before, but in a place like this, death is not a rare thing."
Lu Yu then checked the material dispatch that Zhuge Ming was responsible for.
After several transfers of supplies departing from Xiliang Mansion, only 30% was left in the hands of the soldiers at Xueyang Pass.
Lu Yu pointed to one of the items, "consecration money," and asked, "I remember the military supplies. I'm afraid this item doesn't exist. When was it added?"
This one item of offering money accounts for as much as 50% of all supplies!
The total value of supplies for millions of troops is astronomical. Even if it is 50%, it is already unimaginable.
Zhuge Ming sighed: "I don't know when, there were an unusually large number of thieves in Zuojun Mansion. Those thieves were so courageous that they even dared to rob military supplies ships. In desperation, they had no choice but to pay for them."
"As long as the money is honored, the thieves will not attack the munitions ship."
Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
The officers and soldiers of Dayu actually had to pay tribute to the thieves.
If this kind of thing were heard in the Imperial Capital, it would probably be just a joke and no one would believe it.
"This is also a helpless move. The front line is already tight. In order to raise troops, Marquis Shenwei even went to Leiyin Temple in person to reveal the late emperor's decree and let the Buddhists join the war. Fighting with these thieves will only weaken the few troops and let them
The situation is even more chaotic.”
"The current plan for dealing with this group of thieves is to temporarily appease them. There is no other way."
Zhuge Ming shook his head and sighed.
This is also a helpless move.
I think back then, when Emperor Taigan was still in power, the imperial court had strong control over all surrounding external forces, thieves and evil sects.
But now, things are no longer what they used to be.
Lu Yu said: "This only shows that Wang Muzhi is a waste. This local snake can't even control the thieves who appear on his own territory. I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything else."
"I've made a note of this. You can continue to collect information on free money and send it to me after the collection is completed."
"Yes, sir."
…
The next day.
Next to Xueyangguan Pier, a spaceship docked steadily.
A group of sergeants arrived here early, ready to welcome him.
The cabin door opened, and Wang Kang and a group of geniuses from Xiliangbang filed out of the cabin.
They came here to participate in the competition between the two dynasties.
"I've met the prince."
A group of officials immediately gathered around him.
Many of them are high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Xueyangguan and would not appear easily.
It's just that Wang Kang is Wang Muzhi's son. If he can't please him now, then when will he be better?
"Okay, okay, let's dispense with the common etiquette. Have our accommodation been arranged?" Wang Kang asked impatiently.
He was also the target of crowds in Xiliang City, which had long made him extremely annoyed.
"Don't worry, these are the top guest rooms in Xueyang Pass and have been prepared for you a long time ago." The official smiled.
Later, someone was responsible for specialized statistics.
In this competition between the two dynasties, there will be fifty people from each side, and their names need to be recorded in advance.
Several clerks counted the statistics for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "That's wrong, why is there one person missing?"
