Chapter 1347 Selling Supplies
Seeing that the awarding of military ranks had ended, the lieutenant general and a few generals immediately warmly greeted the three school officers from the capital to rest at the division's garrison for a few days. Zhao Hu's heroic battles of the fifth brigade had long been thrown to the ground by them. I don't care about it.

Ravensick nodded in agreement, and when the two majors agreed, they said to Zhao Hu at the same time: "Major Zhao Hu, since you don't have a combat mission right now, please go to the imperial capital immediately and wait for the grant of the fief. "

Originally, according to the previous rules, the fiefdom can only be obtained after obtaining the actual title. However, when the grantee is holding a false title, most of them are fighting on the battlefield, and the work efficiency of the military department is very slow. It was time to discuss which fiefdom could be granted, but the grantees often died in battle long ago.

Therefore, in order to prevent the grantee from seeing the fief that can be passed on to his son until his death, it has been changed to a fief that can be conferred even if it is a false title.

The officers above the school level present, including Ravenske, all looked like they couldn't look back on the past.

Because they all know that waiting for the canonization of the territory is a very painful thing. Although the work efficiency of the imperial meeting is higher than that of the military department, it is not much higher. Moreover, the imperial meeting has no back door for you to leave, so you can only die obediently wait.

If you can get a good fief, then it doesn't matter. Just think about the possibility of those stingy members of the imperial council conferring a good fief to the local military officers. Definitely an inescapable pain.

Although he didn't know why the officers suddenly had such strange expressions on their faces, Zhao Hu didn't care, and just asked the two majors, "I'm going to the imperial capital by myself?"

The two majors laughed: "Of course not, you can take your personal belongings, your personal guards, and your servants with you."

"But please remember that only your guards, that is, 130 people, can have weapons. Other servants are absolutely not allowed to enter the imperial capital with weapons. Please remember this, otherwise don't blame us for not reminding you."

Hearing this, the school officials present all smiled and looked at Zhao Hu, and then at the more than six hundred servants, with gleeful expressions on their faces.

"Sun Jie, why do these officers have strange faces?" Zhou Wen asked Sun Jie beside him.

Sun Jie was full of doubts and said: "I don't know, do they think that those servants will violate the rules and cause trouble for the adults?

This is impossible, no matter how they are ordered to prohibit, as long as the adults speak, they will not violate the rules at all. "

It is not easy for Ravensker to remind him face to face, so he said obliquely: "Zhao Hu, how many people are you going to take to the imperial capital? Your Excellency the Lieutenant General can issue a pass certificate for you. You must know that while you are waiting for the conferment of the territory, you are responsible for all the daily expenses of the entourage. of."

I don't know if Zhao Hu didn't understand the meaning of the words, or he didn't care, anyway, he just said directly: "All the guards and servants."

Ravensick was stunned, when did Zhao Hu become so stupid?They all told him that he had to be responsible for the daily expenses that he couldn't bring, so why did he bring such a large ticket?
Not to mention that you are still a major virtual street, so what if you have a real title?The monthly salary of a major for you is only 65 gold coins, how many people can you support?

Besides, the unit you are in now is thousands of miles away, and there is nowhere to get the military salary if you want it!Could it be that you made a fortune on the grassland?
Of course the clever Zhou Wen could understand Ravensker's words. He secretly tugged on Zhao Hu's sleeve, but after Zhao Hu shook his head slightly, he no longer cared about this matter.

And Dio looked confident, standing aside without saying a word.

As for the three of them, Locke, Luo Fei, and Sun Jie, they stayed where they were, imagining how they would live when they returned to the imperial capital. Although they were private soldiers, they were still regular soldiers and no longer slaves.

How could Zhao Hu not know the meaning of Ravensker's words?It's just that he also knows that if he only selects 130 guards, the remaining servants will definitely be accepted by the local division of Wenxi Province. One can imagine what the local division will do after accepting them.

Since they are relying on themselves, it is their responsibility to lead them down.

Although Zhao Hu usually doesn't care about anything, but his character is: as long as you rely on him, he will be responsible to the end.

Seeing what Ravensk wanted to say, the head of the first brigade whispered a few words to the head of the division, and the head of the division said in a big way: "Since Major Zhao Hu made this decision, it's no problem. I will issue a certificate for you, and at the same time return the confiscated weapons to you." After speaking, he wrote a document, and quickly took out the divisional seal and stamped it.

Seeing this, Ravensker didn't say anything anymore. Anyway, if this Zhao Hu was poor, I believe the Marshal would not just sit idly by.

In this way, the three distinguished guests from the capital, Ravensko, stayed in Vinci Province to enjoy the scenery beyond the Great Wall for a few days.

After Zhao Hu handed over the supplies of the brigade and the remaining funds, he took five personal guards, six hundred servants, five veterinarians, one hundred grooms, a black wolf, and a man with a dirty face. Liu Bin, with more than 150 war horses, [-] thousand-mile horses, more than [-] huge carriages and supplies full of supplies, embarked on the road to the imperial capital.

When Zhao Hu was there, except for 25 logistics soldiers who were reluctant to leave, the other soldiers were suppressed by the officers and refused to see him off.

It feels weird for 25 people to send [-] people and a large ticket of carriages and horses.

As for the three people in Ravensk, they are not worried that Zhao Hu, the person whose meritorious service has been confirmed, will return to the imperial capital before them, because Zhao Hu always takes more than 150 horses and more than [-] horses on the road. Where can you go so fast?So I still enjoy the hospitality of the local division with peace of mind.

Zhao Hu and his party were rushing to the imperial capital. When they entered the first city on the road, a group of city guards surrounded several civil servants and excitedly stopped Zhao Hu. They regarded Zhao Hu as a business group. , Prepare to collect road tax.

However, after Zhao Hu showed the pass of the Lieutenant General's division commander, although the city guards moved out of the way, they still forbade Zhao Hu to drag the horse and horse Feng into the city to rest with an ugly face.

No one was surprised by this. After all, so many horses and giant carriages were enough to mess up the city.

Zhao Hu, who didn't care, simply ordered to camp and rest not far from the city. Anyway, the people with oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and food are all complete, and they can be self-sufficient without going to the city to buy anything.

After camping, Dio immediately came forward to remind: "Everyone, after handing in the funds of the brigade, we don't even have a single copper coin in our pockets. Although we can be self-sufficient now, after arriving in the imperial capital, we can't Camping in the wild like now."

"Also, aren't we being too ostentatious now?"

Zhao Hu understands swagger very well. After all, he has been surrounded by enough people during his journey. Just like just now, the city guards would not run out to block the road to collect taxes. He nodded and said, "Indeed, then How should we solve it?"

Dio carefully considered his vocabulary and said, "My lord, we can sell most of the carriages, horses and supplies, and it would be more appropriate to take the money directly on the road."

In fact, Diou hoped to get a sum of money to help Zhao Hu after he arrived in the imperial capital. He was familiar with the situation in the imperial capital, but he knew very well that without money, it was almost impossible to move a single step in the imperial capital.

"It doesn't matter if you sell the carriage, but isn't it a pity to sell the horses? You must know that these are extremely good horses." Zhou Wen interjected.

"If you don't sell the horses, do you want hundreds of us to bring more than [-] horses to the imperial capital? That's too ostentatious. Do you want to be troubled by the rich and powerful along the way?" Dio raised his eyebrows and said .

Zhou Wen was kept silent.

Sun Jie immediately popped up: "Since we want to sell it, how about we sell it in the imperial capital? The price there must be several times higher than here."

Dio sighed and said, "You think I don't want to, but like Zhou Wen said, we war horses are all excellent, and there must be a lot of people who are jealous along the way. If the nobles on the way trouble us, what can we do? If they come to the door, it will be good if they can sell a few sticks of gold coins."

"Sell the twenty thousand-mile horses too?" Although he knew that the horses must be sold, Zhou Wen still asked with a look of reluctance.

Dio shook his head: "A thousand-mile horse cannot be sold. If you are in the imperial capital, a thousand-mile horse is more useful than ten thousand gold coins."

"Besides, my lord was born in the Marshal's personal guard. When I return to the imperial capital, I must visit His Excellency the Marshal. This Maxima is the best gift."

Hearing this, everyone present, including Zhao Hu, nodded in agreement. Zhao Hu thought that he would visit the marshal when he returned to the emperor, but he didn't expect to give gifts. It seems that Dio is indeed a very competent housekeeper.

Sun Jie, who suddenly remembered something, asked aloud: "Uncle, why did the two majors say that we only have one hundred and three guards who can carry weapons into the imperial capital?"

"You must know that the imperial capital does not restrict people from carrying weapons in and out, and according to the regulations, it is impossible for adults to bring so many people into the imperial capital."

Zhou Wen interjected, "Do they mean that your lord can bring a hundred or thirteen people into the imperial capital?"

Dio immediately shook his head and said: "This is impossible. After all, a general-level officer is bringing a small team into and out of the imperial capital. There is only one army of school-level officers, and a major for adults. How can it be possible to bring the full 130 guards into the imperial capital?"
