The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 296
Jia Jing looked at Tan Shiyong in disbelief.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, you will gradually know about the dangers in the world like this. Right now, our most important task is to recruit new soldiers, and we must replenish the army to [-]!"

Hearing this, Tan Shiyong lifted his spirits, "Are we going to put up a recruiting notice?"

Jia Jing nodded.

Looking at Tan Shiyong excitedly took the order to send someone to post the recruitment notice.

Laifu thought more about it, and he couldn't help showing some hesitation on his face.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no one else around except his own brother.

Lai Fu reminded: "Master Hou, the daily food consumption of the [-] troops alone is not a small number, plus what you promised, the monthly salary of the judges will be increased by [-]%, except for the money issued by the court, we Don’t you have to put a lot of them in there every month?”

"It is estimated that [-] to [-] silver will be posted every month, but it is nothing!"

Jia Jing had a slight smile on his face, "We have seasoning business, as well as the mutual market business on the Tatar side. We have already made a lot of money on weekdays. As long as we can raise an obedient and strong army, a little The cost is not worth mentioning!

Besides, these pawns are only because they are mostly choreographed and trained in the early stage, and the daily consumption is a bit higher, so you feel that you need to pay a lot of money.When they have almost practiced, whether they are suppressing bandits and killing enemies in the future, or they are transferred out to suppress the market, they can still earn some silver taels!
There are many small countries around us, and it is extremely difficult for each region to communicate with each other. It happens that we can choose a site around here to build a large-scale exchange market. Tatars can support a large-scale exchange market. There is no reason for us here! "

Lai Fu's eyes brightened, "Yes, we have soldiers and horses to suppress it, enough to afford the military protection of a large-scale exchange market, and the monthly revenue, tax and silver are cut, which is also a large amount of income!
We can also send troops to escort our own caravans to the surrounding small countries to run business, the salt and tea from Dazhou are scarce no matter where we go, and our seasoning business..."

Following Jia Jing's inspiration, one idea after another arose in Lai Fu's mind.

Laifu murmured, "How much money should it be?"

Jia Jing asked with a smile: "So, do you still feel that the tens of thousands of taels of silver every month are not worth it?"

"It's worth it! It's worth the money!"

Laifu chuckled, and complimented: "It's better for Master Hou to see the long-term view!"

Hearing this, Jia Jing couldn't help laughing.

However, after talking for a long time, there is one thing that both of them have tacitly understood, that is, when the tens of thousands of troops in front of them are fully trained, Jia Jing will hold them firmly in his hands. A powerful move in Jia Jing's hands.

If Jia Jing has any idea in the future, the [-] army alone will be enough to accomplish most of the work!

Thinking of this, Lai Fu thought of the soldiers of the Eighth Battalion in Shenjing.

"Master Hou, you just gave the emperor the Eighth Battalion under your command so easily, in case you meet him in the future..."

Lai Fu's words were only half spoken.

But Jia Jing completely understood.

"If I don't hand over the Eighth Battalion of soldiers, how can I get the current Waifang and [-] Gansu soldiers?"

Jia Jing smiled lightly and said: "Besides, even if I hand over the military power, it is not certain who the soldiers of the Eighth Battalion will listen to when it is really necessary!"

"Turn every five years? It's a good idea..." Jia Jing sneered a few times.

Laifu's heart moved, "Master Hou, you mean to wait until later?"

Regarding Laifu's question, Jia Jing just smiled and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Lai Fu wisely stopped asking, but he was still extremely excited.

………………

Two flowers, one on each table.

Just when Jia Jing continued to train the Gansu army.

Shenjing, Dragon Head Palace.

The Supreme Emperor listened to Emperor Hongde's report with a smile on his face.

"The former Gansu General Soldier only left Jia Jing with less than [-] troops, which is really a big gap!"

"Why not?"

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongde couldn't help laughing.

The Supreme Emperor let out a long breath, and said with emotion: "It is necessary to train the new army, and also to rectify the banditry around. Many small countries in the Western Regions come to harass him from time to time, which is enough to drag his energy for the past few years!"

"By the way, how are you recruiting the eight battalions he left behind?"

Emperor Hongde replied: "All the eight battalions have been recruited, and the three battalions are under the personal control of the emperor's army sons and servants. The five regiments have been assigned to each of Wang Ziteng and Xue Zixing, and the remaining three battalions have not yet been divided. I don't know. Do you have any suggestions, Father?"

The Supreme Emperor took a deep look at Emperor Hongde.

"Emperor, you don't need to test anything anymore," Taijiu said indifferently: "Now I have no intention of power, and the rest of the arrangements are still up to you, so you don't need to ask me again!"

Hearing that the Supreme Emperor had no intention of power, Emperor Hongde couldn't help being happy.

The face is still respectful: "My son obeys the order!"

……

Afterwards, Emperor Hongde sat next to the Supreme Emperor, and the father and son whispered to each other. When discussing the affairs of the court, they also talked about the past years incidentally, and there was no lack of emotion in their tone.

For a while, the Longshou Palace was full of loving fathers and filial sons, and it was peaceful.

After a while.

The Supreme Emperor asked again: "How is the proposal to rotate the frontier army every five years?"

When Emperor Hongde heard the words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Why, it's not going well?" The Supreme Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The generals of the Nine Sides wrote letters one after another, saying that this matter is wrong." Emperor Hongde looked a little ugly, "They said that the rotation of the Nine Sides will cause a period of low strength due to the unfamiliarity of the new place. In case of any accidents , it is very easy for the enemy to take advantage of it.

He also said that the Nine Frontiers military policy is the rules and regulations established by the former emperor Taizu, if the descendants of later generations change it rashly, forgive them for not being able to follow the order..."

The Supreme Emperor snorted coldly, "What are you unfamiliar with and whose strength is low? Don't you just hold the military power in your hand and don't want to let go? I haven't punished them in the past few years, but they all have the guts to grow hairs - they are capable!

Emperor, next time you use your will, use my private seal additionally!I want to see if their wings are really stiff, and they dare to give birth to two hearts..."

Emperor Hongde was moved and hurriedly bowed to salute, saying: "I thank you, Father, for your support!"

The Supreme Emperor waved his hand, signaling to Emperor Hongde that there is no need to be polite, and then asked: "Does Jia Jing have a superior to express his position on this matter?"

"Jia Jing didn't write a book about this matter," Hongde Emperor replied: "However, according to the spy report, Jia Jing killed more than 140 people on the first day he took over the frontier army. For food and salary, there are additional subsidies from home to the military camp!"

"He is so generous. Could it be that he wants to train all the Gansu soldiers of Da Zhou into Jia Jing's own private army?!"

The Supreme Emperor frowned, but he could see Jia Jing's plan at a glance.
