I’m The King Chapter 360: : Spending money like running water

In mid-November, Sun Xiao was called back to Fufeng urgently by Jiang Jiaquan, the chief official of Fufeng Zhengdong Mansion. , the city wall has been built for more than one meter. Sun Xiao, who is in charge of Jishishan, is now very busy. He is focusing on the construction of the city defense with one hand and the training of soldiers with the other. It is not enough for one person to be divided into several people. You actually want to call yourself back, isn't it adding to the chaos?

Sun Xiao is not used to it. When Gao Yuan was away, Fufeng Army was basically headed by him. Although Cao Tiancheng had a higher position than him, he was the master who only cared about making money. For other things, he was basically in charge. If he didn't care and didn't ask, he told him by himself, and he just hummed, but since Jiang Jiaquan came, Sun Xiao didn't feel so free. Jiang Jiaquan is the chief history of Zhengdong Mansion, his position is second only to Gao Yuan, and Sun Xiao is very surprised by Gao Yuan's importance to him. Before Gao Yuan went to Langya this time, he summoned all the generals and told everyone clearly that when he was away, everything had to be reported to Jiang Jiaquan.

Sun Xiao really didn't understand what was so great about this old scholar, especially after he learned about Lu Liangshan's past from Yan Haibo.

But Gao Yuan's orders are irreversible. So even though he was dissatisfied, Sun Xiao hurriedly entrusted all the affairs of Jishi Mountain to the infantry, brought more than a hundred cavalry, and flew all the way back to Fufeng.

Due to the establishment of the Niulanshan Fortress, Donghu has been forced to stay away from the Fufeng area. This also makes there not many troops stationed in Fufeng County, except for the county government's arrest and a small number of soldiers patrolling the city. . There are only those recruits from the Nanshan military camp, and Fufeng is getting more and more prosperous. In fact, during this year, it has become a center of trade between Liaoxi, Donghu, and the Xiongnu. However, with the fall of the Xiongnu, the grasslands were full of chaos, and there was chaos on the other side of the Donghu, and the entire transaction almost came to a standstill. Lord of death. Most of the shops have fallen into the situation of closing down, which also made Fufeng, which was bustling in the past, suddenly quiet down.

Sun Xiao, who flew into Fufeng City on a flying horse, went straight to the general's mansion, threw the saddle off his horse, and gave the horse back to the guard at the gate, and strode straight to the side hall. Gao Yuan was not there, and the main hall for discussion was closed. Now the entire Zhengdong Mansion is maintained, but all are concentrated in the Changshi Room in the side hall, and all things are handled by Jiang Jiaquan.

When Sun Xiao stepped into the side hall, he happened to see Cao Tiancheng and Jiang Jiaquan happily talking about something!

"Lao Jiang, Lao Cao, what's the matter? Call me back in a hurry. Today's Jishi City was founded, so many things are waiting for me to deal with. After going back and forth, it takes a few days No more!" Sun Xiao rushed in. He slammed the whip casually and was still on top of the big case, looking at the two of them dissatisfied.

Jiang Jiaquan frowned. His face changed a little, but he returned to normal immediately, and waved his hand, "General Sun, I know that the affairs in Jishi City are complicated now, but I still call you back. Naturally, there is something extremely important. You rushed back without stopping, thank you for your hard work." Let's take a break and drink a cup of tea, and then we will talk slowly."

"I don't have the time to drink tea, Lao Jiang, what are you talking about? After I've heard it, I have to go back to Jishi Mountain." Sun Xiao said loudly:

"General Sun!" Cao Tiancheng shouted suddenly, "Sit down."

Because Cao Tiancheng cut off his drink, Sun Xiao couldn't help being stunned. Cao Tiancheng had never called him that before. Looking at Cao Tiancheng's livid face, Sun Xiao opened his mouth, finally closed it, and sat down sullenly. to the side.

Cao Tiancheng stopped Sun Xiao, turned his head to look at Jiang Jiaquan, and said with a smile: "Don't blame Changshi, we are all soldiers, and we have been suffering since we were young. Oh, this kid Sun Xiao is also worried about the general's important matter, Jishi City, after all, is related to our future!"

Jiang Jiaquan glanced at Cao Tiancheng in surprise. He didn't expect that Cao Tiancheng, who usually doesn't look outstanding at all, could hold Sun Xiao down. After hearing Cao Tiancheng's words, he laughed, " What is Cao Sima talking about? You are born in a poor family. Is it possible that I, Jiang, come from a wealthy family? Jiang’s parents are also the masters of the earth. It’s just a coincidence that I read a few more books. Speaking of which, I don't like General Sun the most outspoken people. He can say what he thinks in his heart without bad intentions. Such a person is a good friend worth making. It is precisely because of brothers like you that General Sun can Create this foundation!"

Cao Tiancheng smiled, and Sun Xiao, who was on the side, became a little pale when he heard what Jiang Jiaquan said.

"Jiang Changshi, Sun is used to being careless, don't blame him!" He cupped his hands and said.

"What's so strange!" Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "Come here, serve General Sun tea."

Sun Xiao was a little impatient, "Chang Shi, what is it that called me back?"

Jiang Jiaquan smiled, "General Sun, you are in Jishi City now, what worries you the most?"

"Of course it's money!" Sun Xiao blurted out, "I didn't think much of it when I built the Niulan Mountain Fortress, but now I want to build a city, and you spend the money like water. Chang Shi, are you I don’t know, the current population of Jishi Mountain has exceeded 20,000 people. After subduing the Gongsun tribe, I sent Gongsun Yi and Hutou to recruit the small Xiongnu tribes and exiles on the grassland. Slaves, but there are so many people coming. Now the Huns have more than 1,500 cavalry. Counting the families of these people, there are nearly 10,000 people, and there are also nearly 10,000 slaves who died. Yes, these people want to eat and drink. Although it is said that they are now working for relief, and they are required to do work to pay for food every day, the money spent every day is gone. Moreover, those Hun cavalry came and returned, according to the general's order , Let’s pay for the settlement. These people live in tents, which saves a lot of money, but the exiled slaves build houses for them to live in. This also requires money? The city drawn by the general is complicated to build. Incomparable, the money spent is far more than ordinary city walls, and now my head is getting bigger. A few days ago, half of the money Cao Sima sent over was spent. That is the old man of our Fufeng Army Son, Chang Shi, you don’t know, but Lao Cao knows, the general has hidden the money for two years, and now I spend it like this when I take it out, it’s really distressing.”

Jiang Jiaquan listened carefully to Sun Xiao's words, and took the lead again and again, "In just two months, General Sun opened up the situation in Jishi Mountain and gathered 20,000 people. It's amazing! The general chose you to go Doing this, I really didn’t see the wrong person.”

As soon as Sun Xiao heard about this, he sighed, "Chang Shi, you think I love doing this, what I want most is to go to the front with the general, now it's all right, I'm about to become I am an expert in city building, first it was Niulan Mountain, and now it is Jishi Mountain. If this continues, I think I will have no chance to fight. In the future, where the general wants to build a city, I must be the first one to think of.”

Jiang Jiaquan laughed loudly, "General Sun is wrong. It is important to go to the battle and charge, but what you are doing now is much more important than going to the battle to kill the enemy. It is easy to find a strong general, but like General Sun, But it’s hard to find.”

Sun Xiao smiled wryly, "Chang Shi, you don't want to put a high hat on me. As long as it is an order for the general, no matter what I do, I will never hesitate. It's just that there must be no shortage of money and food. Where am I?" It's not the direct descendant of the Fufeng Army, there are so many Huns who haven't returned yet, if something goes wrong, there may be big trouble."

Jiang Jiaquan nodded, "Speaking of this, what are your specific countermeasures?"

"The first one, of course, is to accept their hearts first. According to the general's order, we only accept family members. As long as we let their families have food and not be hungry, these people will not make trouble The second is military training, let them gradually become familiar with the military regulations of our Fufeng Army, and gradually wear down their wildness. The third one is to recruit a large number of young and strong soldiers among the recruited slaves, and always maintain the ratio of Central Plains soldiers to Huns in the army.”

"General Sun's countermeasures are very good!" Jiang Jiaquan nodded again and again, "The general really can't see the wrong person."

"Chang Shi, you asked me to come back, didn't you just listen to my report?" Sun Xiao looked at Jiang Jiaquan suspiciously.

"Of course not!" Jiang Jiaquan laughed, "General Sun, I called you back in a hurry. Naturally, there are important matters to discuss. Jishicheng, you can spend the money that should be spent, don't waste it. Jishicheng is Our future foundation, our lair, cannot be ignored.”

"I'd like to think about it, but I also need to have money. According to my estimation, the current money can only last for a month. It's tight. It's amazing for two months. After two months , but it’s the middle of winter, and at that time, cotton clothes and heating are a big expense!” Sun Xiaodao.

"Don't be afraid, we have money!" Jiang Jiaquan laughed and waved his hand.

"Where did the money come from?" Sun Xiao asked in surprise. He knew the family background of the Fufeng Army. With the sharp increase, the military expenditure has become an astronomical figure. Just to re-equip the troops brought by Meng Chong and Xu Yuan, Cao Tiancheng spent all the private money he had saved with great difficulty, and as the bottomless pit of Jishi City began to swallow money, , Gao Yuan even took out the old book buried in Juliguan. When he buried the money, he agreed that he would never do it until the emergency. Now, seeing the old book I have to clean it up.

"General Langya and his party have gained a lot!" Cao Tiancheng laughed loudly, "The general is really amazing, it goes without saying that he leads troops to fight, and this method of making money is also a croak, Sun Xiao, tell the truth You, Ding Wei just came back two days ago, and he brought back a silver note of one million taels. The general knocked it from Ning Zecheng, Zhou Yuan, and Princess Ji Wugui of Tianhe County.”

Sun Xiao opened his mouth wide all of a sudden, "Aren't Ning Zecheng and Zhou Yuan our enemies, how can we get the general to knock out the money?"

"This is the general's method!" Jiang Jiaquan smiled with his beard, "Sun Xiao, this political matter is complicated, and it is difficult to explain it to you for a while, so don't worry about it. Just build the stone city, this time the general brought not only money, but also tens of thousands of armors and heavy armors!"
