Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 330
Not only was Shen Zhiyuan not surprised by Zhao Tingxuan's visit, he seemed to be expecting it.After Zhao Tingxuan sat down, before he could decide how to speak, Shen Zhiyuan handed him a file on the desk.

"Young Master Wuyou has learned from others, you may see something strange in it?"

Zhao Tingxuan took the file and frowned when he saw the word 'bing' in the mouth of a bowl.How did the dossier of the Ministry of War get into Shen Zhiyuan's hands?Still showing it to outsiders casually?
Shen Zhiyuan ignored the trace of pedantry on his face, and said directly: "Your officer has a hunch that there is something strange here, but unfortunately, he is so ignorant that he couldn't grasp the clue. Mr. Zhao Ge once served as a servant in the Ministry of War, and there must be some secrets in the Ministry of War that should not be kept by outsiders. , Young Master Wuyou has also heard about it. Please don’t hesitate to enlighten me.”

He spoke politely, but Zhao Tingxuan's face turned red involuntarily.In addition to eating empty pay and stealing and selling military rations, what secrets are there in the Ministry of War that are not humane?

According to the unwritten rules, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, the military rations pulled out of his hands must be drawn for ten, which means that ten stones of grain are drawn for one bucket.It doesn't seem like a lot, but there are nearly one million troops in the Dali. If it is drawn like this, it will be an extremely considerable amount every month.

Elder Zhao Ge also took this money, although he didn't spend it on himself, it was all used to train his confidants in the army, after all, it came from a wrong way and violated the teachings of the sages.

Sure enough, this dossier is the records of the one hundred thousand imperial troops taken away by Wu Shixiang and Qin Xiao, and the records of allocating food and grass to various prefectures and counties along the way.

The order to send troops came in vain, when the army left the city, the Ministry of War only brought them three thousand shi of food and grass.The rest is all taken from the counties along the way, and if the military food reserves are not enough, they will be temporarily drawn from the Changping warehouses in various places.

Fortunately, the weather in North Sichuan Province has been favorable in recent years, and there is no shortage of food in Changping warehouses in various places. The army's food adjustment did not cause changes to the local people.

Zhao Tingxuan looked back page by page, silently calculating in his heart while reading.After thinking about it, he suddenly sat up straight, frowned and said to Shen Zhiyuan: "Please find me an abacus, sir!"

Obviously, Shen Zhiyuan had been prepared for a long time, so he directly took a jujube abacus from the drawer and handed it to Zhao Tingxuan.Zhao Tingxuan gave a wry smile, and immediately understood that although Shen Zhiyuan was sincere in what he said just now, he actually didn't expect him to see the loopholes in the account book.

Zhao Tingxuan has a gentle temperament and doesn't care about such trivial matters.Take the abacus and start from the first page again.This time, he was watching while quickly pulling out the beads with his left hand, while he was holding up a note with his right hand.

In less than half an hour, all the account books were checked by him again.The numbers before and after are relative, and there is no problem at all.But instead of letting out a sigh of relief, he frowned.

Seeing this, Shen Zhiyuan hurriedly asked: "Young Master Wuyou, what did you see?" The eagerness in his tone could not be concealed!

"This account book has been redone by a master!" Zhao Tingxuan calmed down and said after a while. Before Shen Zhiyuan could ask, he continued: "Although it seems that the amount of food that the army dispatches is exactly the same as that of the soldiers. The number of horses corresponds to the number of days until the next ration adjustment, but the rule of how far is far is forgotten."

"What statute?" Shen Zhiyuan frowned, he was a criminal, why didn't he know there was such a statute?

Zhao Tingxuan smiled wryly, "This can be regarded as a commonly known rule in the military! Simply put, there is always a difference between the distance and the distance when an army goes out. If you bring a large amount of military rations from the beginning, not to mention increasing the burden of marching, it will be easier for some Generals who are obsessed with money steal and sell along the way.

Therefore, there is a rule in the army, that is, when the army sets out, more and more food should be given to the prefectures passing through along the way.And those prefectures that were underpaid did not withhold the food and grass that should be given to the army, but recruited civilian husbands and escorted them alone.In this way, it can ensure that the soldiers are not tired and that the army rations are sufficient.In total, all prefectures are the same! "

"That's right, this set of account books is like this! If that's the case, what's the problem?" Shen Zhiyuan was a little disappointed, he really was a nerd on paper, and he expected him to find out something, but he really thought too much!

Zhao Tingxuan didn't care about the disappointment that couldn't be concealed on his face, "But my lord only knows one thing, not the other. This kind of regulation is only applicable after the purchase of autumn grain, and when the army grain in each government is full. General Wu It is the time when the summer and autumn alternate with the Qingyuan Hou leading the army!"

Shen Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, and he drew inferences instantly, "From the capital city to Ili, the climate of each prefecture is different, and the date of grain maturity is also different. The situation in each place is different, so we can't generalize it. The farther you go to the northwest, the more green and yellow, and then according to this According to the rules, Omiya will starve!"

Zhao Tingxuan nodded, "Even if Marquis Qingyuan is inexperienced, General Wu has experienced many battles, so he must bring as much grain and grass as possible wherever he goes. In this way, the grain and grass that each prefecture leaves the warehouse should not be the same. Only Yue Come less and less!"

Shen Zhiyuan stood up abruptly, "When the Taizu orders are not available, even the army can't use the Changping warehouse, so the army can only rely on their own people to carry the food and grass on their shoulders! In this way, the following food adjustment documents are all fake... ...the army went out without food and grass?"

Having said that, even though he spit it out from his mouth, Shen Zhiyuan's face turned pale with shock.Even Zhao Tingxuan was brought up in front of Mr. Zhao Ge, and his ability to nourish Qi has surpassed that of ordinary people, and his heart is beating like a drum, and he can't speak for a long time.

There are only two possibilities for the army to go out without food and grass.One is to die, and the other is... There is no plan to go far at all!

The former is definitely not possible, it can only be the latter.

Shen Zhiyuan trembled his lips and asked softly: "How much food and grass did they bring?"

Zhao Tingxuan took a deep breath, and said reluctantly: "20 soldiers and horses, [-] days' food and grass!"

Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are exactly the number who disappeared with Qin Xiao!And the 20th day was the day when Qin Xiao and Wu Shiheng split up until it was reported that he was missing.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw despair in each other's eyes.It seems that Qin Xiao and his 5 horses were all ruined!

The murderer is none other than Wu Shiheng!This veteran general didn't intend to let Qin Xiao appear in front of the two armies!

In this way, the Wu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's provocation to Princess Leyi, the two letters sent by Princess Leyi after she disappeared, Qin Xiao's division of troops in a fit of anger, and her subsequent disappearance.There is a perfect answer to everything!
Zhao Tingxuan's whole body was cold, and his teeth were chattering, "I want to play...to play..."

What was played and who was played, but they were still unable to tell.Daozong has not shown up since the third prince forced the palace.The government has always been controlled by the prince, but Wu Shiheng is the prince's confidant.Who knows whether it's his or the prince's intention to get rid of Qin Xiao?
Shen Zhiyuan's face turned pale, and finally he punched hard on the table, "Follow me!"

Zhao Tingxuan asked blankly, "Where are you going?"

Shen Zhiyuan didn't answer, just opened the drawer, took out two exquisite daggers, and handed one to Zhao Tingxuan.Gritting his teeth, he said, "Go save people!"
