"The people from the White Ghost Sect said that the post station was a must-go place. They also said that in order to prevent the government from suspecting the inn station, they assumed that bandits would come to rob the inn station after receiving a wire report. They all evacuated to Jiqing County first and waited.
The people from the White Ghost Cult will come back after they have passed."
There was no moon in the sky that night, and there was not much gloom in the surroundings. It was rare for her and her sisters to maintain their sanity at night and not lose control. They were all in the room watching Yi Cheng and his group perform a show below.
First, a group of people pretended to be howling in the mountains not far away, making the people in the post station think that there were really many bandits coming towards this direction. They were led away by the people in the post station without taking anything.
In order to be realistic, Yi Cheng and others did not stay to pick up the things that the guests had not had time to take away.
"Originally, there was a waiter who wanted to stay and collect some money. The postmaster said that there were several officials among the guests. If they accidentally discovered the problem, no one would be in trouble. Anyway, everything is in the posthouse. We can search it when we get back.
Same thing."
Xiaoyu glanced at Xiaodun and pursed her lips: Unexpectedly, these people arrived at the inn first, and none of them were polite. Even the tablecloth was scraped clean after entering the house.
She didn't know if the Yi Cheng would cry when he came back, but she saw with her own eyes a man wearing a deputy general's uniform entering the Yi Cheng's house and coming out with a cloth bag on his back.
No need to ask, that person is Fang Qi. At this moment, he and Qi Kang'an are counting their harvest today; today these are considered trophies, and those who collect them can be divided into two and a half according to the rules, and the rest goes to one person.
"Hiss~ It's more than 110,000 taels, this..." Qi Kang'an's hands were already shaking.
It's not because there's a lot of money, but... this money is hot.
"Where did you get all this money?"
Fang Qi: "Most of them were in Yi Cheng's room, and the other rooms were all beds. Only his room had a fire kang. I thought it was a little strange to have a fire kang in the south, so I checked more carefully. Sure enough, there was a fire kang on the wall at the foot of the kang.
There are two living bricks with a box hidden inside."
Fang Qi clicked on the rosewood box on the table where all the banknotes were now placed, "This is it."
It is also the most neat place to hide the most banknotes among all the things they got, and it is also the most suitable place to store banknotes among all the things on the table, so Qi Kangan and his wife sorted out all the other banknotes and put them in this box.
inside.
"Just now, how many were in there?"
Zheng Haoran, who was doing the calculations on the side, grinned like a 251 cent: "Go back to the general, there are 84,214 taels of silver in the box."
After a pause, he put down his pen and rubbed his face, then quickly returned to his serious tone and said: "There is definitely something wrong with this Yi Cheng. Even the first-rank officials in the imperial court may not be able to come up with so much money at once."
For this mission, the imperial court only gave them 20,000 taels of silver to cover food, drink and other expenses for the nearly 20,000 soldiers for several months.
As for the 20,000 taels, he had already spent thousands of dollars, and he had already built half of it before arriving in Bacheng. He stopped in Bacheng to purchase some necessities and spent more than 1,000 taels. Now there are only more than 8,000 taels left.
.
Fortunately, the princess gave him ten thousand taels as a precaution, otherwise Zheng Haoran would have cried.
If you want to ask who is happiest when the inn comes out today, it must be Comrade Zheng Haoran, who is planning the accounts at Le Dian Dian.
Fang Qining frowned and looked at Qi Kangan, "General? If this is dirty..."
Zheng Haoran's eyebrows suddenly stood up, "Why is it dirty? Where is it dirty? If there is no one in the inn, it is a land without an owner. Things in a land without an owner are naturally ownerless things."
Come on, whoever dares to talk to him about money will make him doubt his life and his own species.
Fang Qi: "...You,,, the third noble should be responsible for the logistics."
What is he excited about here?
Speaking of this, Zheng Haoran looked at Qi Kang'an with eager eyes: "General, can you exchange the last general with the three nobles? He is rough-minded and can arrange other things, but he can't do such detailed work as accounting and accounting.
.”
Zhou Gui has an upright temperament and likes to fight. He doesn't turn around when encountering problems. He will only use fists to solve problems that can be solved with fists.
As for logistics, everything is a meticulous job. Military accounts must be kept clear, entry and exit must be known, etc. At this point, Zhou Gui is completely unable to cope with the responsibility.
No, this was all because of the good relationship between Zhou Gui and Zheng Haoran. While Zheng Haoran was taking care of the things he should take care of, he also helped Zhou Gui take care of the logistics that he should take care of.
Not only Zheng Haoran, but also Fang Qi and Cheng Si would also help Zhou Gui whenever they could.
However, they were all elite soldiers in the Shadowless Army. The four of them also had identities in the Shadowless Army, so they all knew that they could not continue like this, otherwise the leader of the Qi Family Army would be in chaos first.
Wednesday Gui's power will be gradually weakened unconsciously, while the power of the three of them will gradually increase.
This is still secondary. The main reason is that the responsibilities among the four lieutenants will be confused, causing the entire army to lose its rules.
This is not what they want to see.
No, Fang Qi also deliberately brought up this matter in front of Qi Kang'an. The attentive Zheng Haoran and Zhou Zhougui were exchanged. The brainless Zhou Zhougui went to Zheng Haoran, who didn't need much brains, while the smart and careful Zheng Haoran went to
Logistics, perfect.
[Let me tell you in a low voice that the positions of these four lieutenants were chosen through a childish lottery. 】
Qi Kang'an was the chief general, and the four lieutenants were the ones closest to him. They all lived and ate together almost all the way, so naturally they saw everything.
He actually had the idea of exchanging Zheng Haoran and Zhou Zhougui for a long time, but the two of them were right and never asked for it. He really couldn't let his lieutenant change his position at will.
Now that Zheng Haoran mentioned it, Fang Qi also meant that, so he nodded naturally, "Sure, from now on, Haoran, you will be in charge of logistics."
"yes."
Qi Kang'an picked up the box containing the banknotes and pushed it in front of Zheng Haoran, "We only entered the inn at night, and we haven't touched anything in it."
"yes."
Zheng Haoran picked up the box and looked at Fang Qi, both of them smiled and narrowed their eyes.
Only if you have money can you have the confidence to recruit soldiers!
Since ancient times, we have not relied solely on the court to raise troops and horses. Each army needs its own source of income. For example, the Zhennan Army has Prince Wu, the Lingnan Army cooperates with the Lingnan Military Station, etc.
It is precisely because of this that there are so-called soldiers and bandits; but as long as they do not go too far, the court will turn a blind eye. After all, it can save some money for the treasury.
Already the deputy general of the Qi Family Army, Fang Qi and the other four naturally hope that the Qi Family Army will become truly powerful, so the Qi Family Army will definitely recruit new soldiers;
However, once the army is recruited, this expenditure will immediately be insufficient. If they want to ask the court for help, they dare to use their heads to guarantee that in this disaster year in the north and south, they will definitely not get a penny.
Now I'm fine, I have more than 100,000 taels in my account. I can't say I won't have any worries for a few years now, at least I won't have to worry about recruiting new soldiers.
