Water Margin farming to become powerful

Outside Kaide Mansion, the army led by Tong Guan was stationed outside the city.

The magistrate of Kaide led the gentry from all over the city to come to labor, and a whole hundred thousand troops lined up outside the city, sending cattle, sheep and wine as gifts as mountains and seas.

The servants in the army account came and went to serve, and Tong Guan, the leader of the army, had a face full of alcohol and smiled heartily.

Tong Guan was quite surprised to see the rich banquet.

He originally thought that the small land in Kaide Mansion, which does not show mountains and water, how can he have money to reward him. The main purpose of this army crossing is to gain military merits before the battle. This is more important than anything else. It is not easy for him to make money You can put it back.

So when passing through Kaide Mansion, Tong Guan had informed the local prefect in advance that he only wanted to camp and have a banquet under the city to boost morale, and then went all the way to Shandong without too much harassment.

Unexpectedly, the Kaide Mansion, who originally thought it would be washed by the army, was overjoyed, and directly said that there was no need to worry about the funds for remunerating the army, and called on the gentry to donate, and unexpectedly gathered a lot of livestock in a short period of time, enough to feed a hundred thousand troops.

Seeing this, Tong Guan felt strange, how could there be so much money in this Kaide prefecture city with only a few 10 households?

The prefect of Kaide Mansion wiped his sweat again and again, wondering if he was being too polite this time?Originally, it really should be squeezed out for a long time before squeezing out a little bit.

How does the Kaide Mansion have so much money... Isn't it too much to ask?That's naturally because this is the junction of the Great Song Dynasty and the Supervisory Committee.

Some of the gentry present were all doing business with the Supervisory Committee, and many of them even had businesses in the area controlled by the Supervisory Committee. There were a lot of investments in tanneries, textile factories, and machine factories.

These people earn money in Shandong and consume it in Kaide Mansion. After all, it is difficult to leave their homeland. I heard that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty can pass through Kaide Mansion without disturbing their property. They are all very happy. Donating some money to let them eat and drink is really easy Take it out.

These people are very fat relying on the entrepot trade, and even the prefect... ahem, he didn't take less...

Of course, in front of Tong Guan, he naturally knew that he couldn't say such words that would destroy his own prestige by others, and he didn't know how much trouble he would cause if he leaked the word.

So the magistrate could only be sloppy and said: "After all, it is the Central Plains. Tong Shuxiang has worked hard for the country, and he has worked so hard. It is really admirable to stay in the frontier for a long time. It is cold and poor there, which can't compare with the prosperity of the Central Plains." ? Now that we have arrived in Zhongzhou, this idea should be affordable everywhere.”

Tong Guan was dubious when he heard the words, but he nodded with a smile when he saw the magistrate's submissive attitude, thinking in his heart that he had stayed at the border for too long, and he really didn't know how much money he could make in Zhongzhou?

In this way, after I got the military merit this time, I can earn more on the spot.

But all the officers he sat down frowned slightly, not telling the truth.

Tong Guan sent an army of 20 troops this time, of which [-] troops were sent from each of the eight military prefectures under the jurisdiction of Tokyo Prefecture, all of which were sent to the commander of the soldiers and horses from the same road, and another [-] were selected from the Imperial Forest Army The combined army is [-], and it is known as [-] to the outside world. This can be regarded as emptying out all the ready-made military reserves in Tokyo. It can really be seen how determined Zhao Ji is to kill the Supervisory Committee this time.

Tong Guan and the Imperial Forest Army in Tokyo don't know about the local affairs, but why don't the soldiers and horses in each of the eight military prefectures under the jurisdiction of Tokyo know about it?

Even if it is placed in a place in the capital of Gyeonggi, it will take a long time for the state government to prepare such a feast for 10 people. How can it be as extravagant as Kaide Mansion? Just take it out?
The prosperity of the Kaide Mansion has obviously surpassed that of the eight major military prefectures under the Tokyo Prefecture, and they must rely on doing business with the Supervisory Committee, but seeing that the prefect of Fuzhou is pleasing Tong Guan, they dare not speak up.

Usually, once the imperial court sends some eunuchs to supervise the army, the first thing is often not to fight but to make money and make meritorious deeds. This is the most troublesome military officer.

Fighting wars is fighting, and making money is making money, not a method of operation. If the two things cannot be handled separately, the result is that it is easy to die.

But now that the soldiers are going out this time, with Zhao Ji's hope in their hands, Tong Guan also understands that it's not a matter for him to make money. As long as he gets more rights, he will be caught in the military state to suck blood. How can he make money? fishing?

Do you have to take money from the oil pan at this moment when the soldiers are in a hurry?

So Tong Guan was much better than other generals and eunuchs. As long as he did his best and didn't need money, he finally looked like a commander-in-chief, which reassured all the officers.

Tong Guan smiled and stood up, holding up the sea of ​​wine in his hands.

Although he is a eunuch, he looks mighty, and he is over 1.8 meters tall. In addition, the eunuch body lacks the needs of men, and has more energy to grow flesh. Food is provided by officials, so he usually does not go hungry, so Unlike the descriptions in Sun Xin's previous film and television dramas, most eunuchs raised taller and stronger men than ordinary men in the era of food and drink.

When he arrived at Tong Guan's place, he looked like a majestic general, coupled with the influence of uncoordinated hormones left in Tong Guan's body, this guy, as a eunuch, could grow a beard, have a white face and a strong body, with a majestic appearance, and a top helmet When the crown armor looks like a god.

If people who don't know the inside story see him for the first time, they will never think that he is a eunuch, but think that he is really a strong general in the army.

Tong Guan's journey along the way is definitely the golden position for eunuchs in the entire Song Dynasty.

In the beginning, he was defeated by the eunuch, and Zhao Ji liked him because of his clever temperament and the idea of ​​seizing the holy meaning, so he was given a job in Hangzhou Jinming Bureau.

These errands were used by Zhao Ji to go to various places to collect wealth, and Tong Guan did a very good job, earning a lot of money for the emperor, and actively investing for himself.

While collecting wealth in Hangzhou, Tong Guan befriended Cai Jing with his own strong financial resources, and then strongly recommended Cai Jing to be an official in Beijing. Unexpectedly, Cai Jing's future exceeded Tong Guan's best expectations before, and he skyrocketed to become the prime minister. After that, Cai Jing He also voted in Taobao, which gave Tong Guan the opportunity to supervise the army in Shanyou.

Sending eunuchs to supervise the army is obviously for the eunuchs to make money. Under normal circumstances, Tong Guan would be satisfied after eating a few times, but he never expected that Tong Guan's life would diverge greatly from other eunuchs.

This guy went to Shanyou to let him cooperate with Wang Hou to make achievements and directly regain the territory of the four states.For this reason, Tong Guanjian was promoted to be an envoy of the appeasement system, and later he was promoted to the military governor of Wukang Army.

Behind such great achievements, there is naturally Zhao Ji operating secretly. On the surface, the eunuchs such as Tong Guan have been reused in the Shanyou Army. In fact, it is Zhao Ji who wants to penetrate his power into the Shanyou Army. Generations are connected, and they are almost becoming relatives. Which emperor is not afraid?
And Tong Guan can naturally understand Zhao Ji's intentions. He is famous for his arrogance in the army of Shaanxi You. The so-called arrogance means that he is not in harmony with the original military and political system?Zhao Ji condemned on the surface, but he didn't know how happy he was in his heart.
