Huang Zhong took a few sips of wine slowly and then said: "It is precisely because the military camp has no money that we let the news go out and let those businessmen do the military supplies business. They did the business, but has anyone received the money?"
"So, you are a freeloader?" Jia Shen was dumbfounded, and after a while he said: "Then what if they come to collect payment?"
"What else can we do? Keep it tight, or just drag it on." Huang Zhong looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water: "If there is no way, then open an IOU and let the merchants go to the imperial capital to ask the court for money."
"Will you make those businessmen bankrupt if you do this?"
"No, I will only pick the fat ones and bleed them. I won't touch their foundations or harm their lives."
"But this method will only last for two or three years at most. The businessman has been fooled and will never pay attention to you again."
"That's why I'm planning to retire and return home, and return this mess to the court."
Jia Shen was stunned for a long time, then silently raised his thumb: Jiang, he is still hot when he is old!
Huang Zhong raised his wine glass and clinked it with him, and said bitterly: "The emperor's frivolous corvee and low taxes have indeed benefited the people of Yun State, but it has also suffered for our soldiers guarding the border. The court has no money, so it can only save money everywhere, but military pay can
Is it provincial? As I said just now, your Eastern Region can still be self-sufficient, what can our Northern Region do?"
"There is no other way! The only option is to deceive and deceive everyone. I don't want to lose my life, but can I just watch the soldiers lack food and clothing? Then I don't want this false reputation!"
Jia Shen was moved and drank the wine in one gulp: "General Huang, it's not easy for you!"
Huang Zhong waved his hand: "That's all I can do. Feng Shuai is still very powerful. He manages the world's troops. He can't say that he makes the soldiers rich. But in this world of military pay, he has never been in arrears or deducted. I don't know how he can do it."
The old man admires you for doing it!"
Jia Shen pointed at a stack of paper on the table and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that's what they do, to divert money from elsewhere to subsidize the army. But I don't understand why he directly reached into the military supplies this time?
"
Huang Zhongdao: "I believe in Feng Shuai's character. He must have his reasons for doing things. Anyway, this is also a good grain and grass business, so I will transfer the money from elsewhere."
"Old Huang, are you trying too hard?"
"No forcing! It makes me feel uncomfortable to watch those sentries eating cold and hard pancakes at night. What's the point of forcing them to drink hot soup and eat hot noodles?"
"Old Huang, you are a real person, drink and drink."
...
After drinking for three rounds, Jia Shen suddenly slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot something. The envelope just now was given by the princess. Feng Shuai also gave me an envelope and said that if you encounter any difficulties, just open it and take a look."
Huang Zhong quickly took it.
He read more than ten pieces of paper from beginning to end, then returned to the first one and read it a second time.
After reading it, he burst out laughing: "You are so handsome!"
Jia Shen looked at him strangely: "What is written here? It will make you happy."
Huang Zhong handed him the paper: "Read it yourself."
Jia Shen's movements are almost exactly the same as Huang Zhong's.
Finally, he expressed the same emotion as Huang Zhong: "He is really handsome!"
