First Class Concubine

Chapter 167 The War Ends
In any world, money is always important.No one can deny this.

Qijing even raised the importance of money to a certain height.

After all, she has made up her mind to enjoy it all her life.If you don't have money, you can't afford to eat and drink, and enjoy the fart!
So from the very beginning, she was trying to find ways to make money.

Of course, she is not a very diligent person.Let her do it... probably only draw two pictures, and forget about the rest.But she has people and a backstage.Therefore, she only needs to use her brain, and someone else will worry about her.

All she has to do is stretch out her hands for clothes and open her mouth for food.Sleeping on a rainy day, playing on a sunny day, taking two steps when you are interested, and being carried by someone when you are too lazy to move... All of this is based on having money.

So, money is really important!

The reason Qijing felt this way was because of one of Lechen's subordinates.

Although she didn't put up a screen at Le Chen's table now, she was separated from him by the same door.The door was still half open, so she could hear the voices outside clearly.

This subordinate is called Zhao Dayong, who was just promoted.A native of Xiliang City, he is not too old or too young, and he is also an official.As a result, just half an hour ago, this Zhao Dayong was chased by his wife for three streets!
Now, the trouble came to Lechen.

There was nothing wrong with the cause of the incident, Zhao Dayong drank some wine and invited his colleagues to drink.This is also normal communication, investment in contacts, it should be done.

But the problem is that the child in the family is sick, and the daughter-in-law is waiting for money to buy medicine.When he drank, he spent all the last bit of money in the family.When her daughter-in-law heard this, how could she not be anxious, how could she not be angry?
No matter how virtuous a woman is, she will immediately turn into a tigress when it comes to offspring.Chasing him for three blocks is definitely easy.

If the matter came to Lechen, it would be easy to solve it.Hurry up and send a doctor with the army to see a doctor for the child.After training the man once, he sent him away.

But the follow-up problems raised by this matter are the big problems.

"It's been three months without payment. Do you have a good plan?" Le Chen is not a person who slaps his face to pretend to be fat. He directly pulls the big and small officials over and tells them the facts.

"The problem of food and grass has been solved..." Someone whispered, and the meaning behind it was also very obvious.You are responsible for the food and grass, so the salary will also be settled together.Who made you rich?
Le Chen glanced coldly: "For the issue of food and grass, fortunately, His Highness's fiancée is generous, and worked so hard to help His Highness... Finally, it is enough to keep the army from starving. Does it mean that His Highness should reach out to his fiancée for the salary?"

Qijing raised her eyebrows, when did he start shaping her image?

Immediately, the others were moved in their hearts, and praised repeatedly: "The future fourth concubine is really righteous, and she really does not give way to her eyebrows."

"The future fourth concubine is a role model for women, a hero of the boudoir..."

"The future fourth concubine and Your Highness are really a match made in heaven..."

Lechen was happy to hear it, and let them talk for a full 5 minutes before raising his hand and pressing the button to mute them.

"Salary must be paid... Our soldiers have no money to see a doctor for their children. They also have no money to send to their mothers at home. There is no rice to cook at home, no medical treatment for sickness, and no food for hunger. How can our soldiers feel at ease Fighting the enemy bravely? Calling everyone here today is to discuss it, and we must come up with a surefire way."

Hearing this, the seven scenes in the inner room were delighted.

What else is there to say about the salary, there are two options: either to pay or not to pay.If you don't send out, the morale of the army will be unstable.And, life is really hard.

Good men don't serve as soldiers, those who come to serve as soldiers work hard.In the end, someone gave you their life, but if you don’t give them money, is that okay?

So, post, must post, must post.

The problem is, everyone knows that the money must be paid.But in order to pay, you must have silver.Where does the money come from?Not everyone is willing to pay out of pocket for soldiers.

For a moment, everyone was dumb and looked at each other.Finally, they looked at Lechen together.After all, this His Highness is a formidable person at first sight.It took less than a month to get so much food and grass.Moreover, he is a member of the royal family, and now he has directly pulled down the general and is in charge of his own affairs.Then, of course, he should be responsible for this matter.

"We have 50 soldiers, and the average monthly price per person is five taels. That's 150 taels, not including spring, summer and winter clothes, armor and weapons..." Le Chen tapped his fingers on the table and glanced at everyone: "The previous three If the salary is not paid every month, the salary will be 300 million taels. Adding in other things, [-] taels is not enough.”

Lechen showed them the data, just to make them think about how much money would it cost to have so much food?If you don't tell them, these people might think it's such an easy thing.Everything he did was taken for granted.Before taking a look, when he mentioned the silver, he reacted one by one with that expression.

Therefore, Lechen wants to borrow money now to show credit for himself.There is nothing to look forward to from the emperor, but he wants the spirit of the army.If you want these people, follow him wholeheartedly.Then, let them know how much he paid.

Qijing clicked his tongue, as expected, fighting is fighting for money.

"The old man can come up with some money..." Someone finally spoke.The way is to use the money in your own pocket to make up for it.

This is the most straightforward, stupidest and least bad idea.

Taking money out directly shows loyalty, but it can't solve any problems.

With so many of them, how much money can they have?As for the military salary, at least 50 taels a month, in the future... I don't know how long it will be.How much can they take out?How long can I hold it?

"We are ashamed, we have nothing to live on, our family has no property, and we are ashamed in the bread... But we have a loyalty. From now on, our wealth and life will belong to your highness."

Immediately someone followed up: "Xu Da is right, we are all big bastards and don't understand these things. We are all from poor backgrounds and don't have that much money. But we all know that it is Your Highness who can eat enough today. We don’t know anything else, but we know that His Highness has given us life. There is no way to repay the grace of life. We can only swear allegiance to the death, never betray, and do our best for His Highness.”

"Swear allegiance to the death and never betray."

It doesn't need to spend money, as long as you are loyal, you can solve the problem, which is naturally the best.Two people opened their mouths, and seeing the satisfaction on Le Chen's face, the others followed immediately, expressing their loyalty unceasingly.Afterwards, things went much smoother.

Le Chen also got what he wanted.

But this is not enough.

"My Highness understands what you mean. But the Zhengxi Army does not belong to my Highness. He does not belong to anyone, but to all of us... So, I thought, the current situation cannot be just us How many people know that everyone should be aware of it. There are difficulties, and they are imminent. But we will try our best to improve everything..."

He not only wants the obedience of these people in front of him, but also the loyalty of those people, everyone.

"At that time, you should explain these things clearly to the soldiers below one by one. Raising money is not a matter of overnight, and the next payment will not be paid all at once. So, please appease me first, and ask Tell them, everyone gets one month's salary first. The rest, if it is really difficult, you can get it first if you need it urgently. If you can delay it, you can delay it. The secretary will record everyone There will never be a copper plate missing.”

"Your Highness is wise."

……

Next, there are various meetings.

The high officials open it to the small officials, and the small officials open it to the soldiers.It was a lot of fun.

The main purpose is one, to sing praises to His Royal Highness.Of course, there are also discerning people who, by the way, have done their best to the future fourth concubine, Miss Su.

As for Miss Su, did she really help raise food?Of course there are, but not much is known about them.Anyone who knows is Le Chen's confidant.But whether you know it or not, as long as the Fourth Prince says so, then this matter is a certainty.For a while, Seven Scenery also gained some prestige.

Qi Jing was a little confused by Le Chen's actions: "Didn't you say that you want to hide my whereabouts?"

"The military order is not accepted. Besides, the military order has not arrived." It can't arrive either.I wasn't ready to tear my face apart before, so of course I had some scruples.But now he has no scruples anymore, there is no one he cares about in the capital, at this time there is a hundred thousand army in hand, the Xiyi in front is already a thing in his bread, and he will gradually eat away at Dayan territory... What? Thinking about it, it would be more comfortable than when he returned to Beijing and was held in the hands of others.So, what else to worry about?

Qijing thought about it and was happy.

……

Within two days, Xiyi finally went to war with Xiliang City.Difficult to attack and easy to defend, Lechen's people have never slacked off during this period of time, and their physical fitness is gradually increasing.Even the worst C-word battalion has already taken shape.

The two armies confronted each other, and the blood flowed like rivers.

From morning to night, until the sky was about to dark, they called for gold and withdrew their troops.The city gate was not broken, and there were few casualties.When it came to Xiyi, they were anxious and irritable, and there were many casualties.

After the war, Xiliang City opened its gates to clean up the battlefield.The wounded were bandaged, and the dead, if they belonged to their own side, wrote down their first and last names, burned them into ashes, put them in jars, and marked them with their names.In the future, send it back to the original place.If it is an enemy, they will be cleaned up, thrown directly into the cremation pit, and burned together.

The next day, the drums of war sounded again.Persevering, they fought for seven days, and Xiyi finally stopped.Xiliang City won a big victory.And the 3000 people of Jiazi Battalion also shined brilliantly in this battle.

There are never bright colors in war.Even God, after the war, lost its brightness.First, there was a gust of wind, blowing yellow sand all over the sky.Then, it was not sunny again.The clouds are gradually pressing down. According to experienced locals, there will be heavy rain next.

The seven sceneries do not hurt the feelings of spring and autumn, nor do they have the world in mind.She has seen too much death, and that bit of humanity has long been obliterated.Living a very idealistic life... But these days, her mood, like the weather, is very unhappy.It's just because the recovery of the body is getting slower and slower, and she can't find the reason.

At first, she was worried that there was something wrong with her ability, but she looked carefully and found nothing wrong.Later, I suspected that there was some hidden danger in the mental power.

For people in the last days, mental power and supernatural overdrafts often happen.Although it will be painful at the time, there is also a little risk.But it's still important to save your life.And as long as there are no problems left at that time, it is not abolished on the spot, and basically nothing will happen later.

sequelae?You have to live until the day when the sequelae break out to know.

But now, she had to worry.

As a result, I checked and checked carefully, and there was still no problem.

"Could it be that this body is immune to supernatural powers, and the healing ability of the water system has no effect?" She couldn't find the problem, so she could only think about it. "Or, what's wrong with the body itself? A terminal illness that can't be cured by supernatural powers? It finally broke out after being injured? The negative effects of time travel finally appeared? Let's just say, it's a waste of a lifetime, how can you not pay the price? ..."

Unfortunately, she thought of countless possibilities, but she didn't know which one was the truth, or none of them.

When Lechen felt her pulse every time he was free, he was quite relieved: "Health has improved a lot."

Naturally, Qijing also happily accompanied him: "Of course, as I said earlier, there is nothing wrong with my body.
