Xiao Jue sat in the hall, looked at Tang Ning, and asked: "What is the plan to make a fortune that you mentioned last time?"

"Bet."

Tang Ning looked at him and said: "Bet that your Left Cavalry Guard will win the Sixteen Guards Competition."

"Bet the Left Cavalry Guard?" Xiao Jue looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

Tang Ning nodded: "Bet on the Left Cavalry Guard."

Xiao Jue looked at him for a long time, and seeing that he was not joking, he said: "Bet that they will be eliminated in the first game. According to the rules of previous years, unless they are lucky enough to draw the Right Cavalry Guard, they can only win a game. This year you changed the rules. The Left Cavalry Guard is in Group A and the Right Cavalry Guard is in Group B. There is no possibility of winning even one game..."

Tang Ning waved his hand and said: "Don't be so discouraged, everything is possible."

The Sixteen Guards Competition, each guard sent out 100 people to simulate the battlefield. It is not a single soldier's strength, but a teamwork ability and the command ability of the generals. It is not a real fight, so there is no need to fight hard, and the technical content is not that high. However, even so, it is not easy to reverse from the second to last to the first in two months.

Fortunately, Tang Ning still has Xiao Xiao, who has an almighty master. The old beggar can make the disciples of the Beggar Gang invincible with a stick in hand. He taught them a few powerful formations and let them practice for two months. It is not impossible for them to counterattack.

Even if they cannot win the final victory, they will make a lot of money if they make it through the group stage, the semi-finals and the semi-finals.

"What do you have in mind?" Xiao Jue looked up at him and said, "Can you sit down and talk? My neck hurts when I look at you like this."

"If your neck hurts, stand up." Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "I have been sitting for too long today. I don't want to sit now."

The reason why he didn't want to sit was naturally not because of this.

This was because he didn't know the right person. He actually thought that Tang Yaojing would be willing to admit defeat. He just asked her to learn to squeal like a pig three times. Is this too much?

Compared to some people who would take advantage of girls with ulterior motives, he neither asked her to hug him, nor to kiss him, nor did he ask her to do anything else...

He just asked her to squeal like a pig three times, did she have to throw him over her shoulder and ride on him?

Xiao Jue looked at him and asked tentatively, "You were beaten. Was it Miss Tang who did it?"

"..."

Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning with some envy. He rubbed the bruises on his face and sighed, "Miss Tang is such a good girl, why don't you know how to cherish her? At least she doesn't hit me in the face..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

After his weakness was exposed, Tang Ning looked at him angrily and said, "For this competition, I will borrow your place from the Cavalry Guard. In addition, take me to your place in the next two days. I want to see the real strength of the Left Cavalry Guard."

"It's okay to go and take a look, but I have to go back and report to the general..." Xiao Jue stood up and walked outside, sighing, "A man is bullied by a woman. We are both in the same boat..."

There is no problem in borrowing the place of the Cavalry Guard as the competition venue. In previous years, the competition was also concentrated in the camp of a certain guard. The Ministry of War hosted the competition of the sixteen guards, so it still has some power.

Tang Ning perfected the plan thoroughly and handed it to Lu Ding the next morning.

"Is it done?" Lu Ding looked at him and said, "Lord Tang is faster than I thought."

Tang Ning reluctantly accepted Lu Ding's compliment, but he frowned when he saw something and said, "Are you going to reward the winning team with 100 taels of silver for all the soldiers?"

Lu Ding looked at Tang Ning and thought he must have written it wrong.

In the Sixteen Guards Competition, each guard, including the generals, had a total of 101 people, and each person was rewarded with 100 taels of silver, which was 10,000 taels.

The budget of the Ministry of War was only 2,000 taels. Even if he wrote 10 taels, it occupied half of the budget, which was extremely inappropriate.

Tang Ning nodded and said, "The soldiers have worked hard in the competition, so they should be given generous rewards to promote their enthusiasm. As far as I know, many soldiers in the army come from poor families. These rewards are earned through their hard work and are what they deserve."

Tang Ning not only prepared the rewards, but also prepared to cast a large copper trophy. Whoever wins the first place in the Sixteen Guards Competition will be awarded it. The next time the competition is held, it will be brought back and re-awarded to the winner, making it a symbol of the Tangren Cup Sixteen Guards Championship...

Lu Ding looked at him and asked, "The Ministry of War doesn't have that much..."

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Lord Lu, I have already raised the money, and the Ministry of War doesn't need to pay for it. . "

"Raised?" Lu Ding looked at him and asked, "Where did you raise it?"

Tang Ning explained, "The owner of Tangrenzhai and the big boss of Tang's Chamber of Commerce are willing to sponsor this Sixteen Guards Competition..."

Lu Ding was stunned and asked, "Aren't you the owner of Tangrenzhai?"

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "This is what our boss lady wanted."

Lu Ding frowned and said, "The Sixteen Guards Competition is a very serious matter. How can it be related to businessmen? This is not feasible."

You want to let the horse run, but you don't give the horse grass. It's fine if you don't give the grass yourself, but you don't let others give it...

What can two thousand taels of silver do? It's not even enough to pay the bonus. A good cook can't cook without rice. Without silver, Tang Ning can't do this.

He looked at Lu Ding and said helplessly: "Mr. Lu, I know the difficulties of the Ministry of War, but you want this competition to be wonderful, but you are stingy with money, and you don't want money donated by others. Please forgive me for this errand." There is nothing the official can do.”

In fact, even Lu Ding himself felt that his requirements were too harsh for Tang Ning, and even a bit embarrassing.

He thought for a moment and said, "I will give you an answer on this matter this afternoon."

Royal study room.

Emperor Chen rarely reviewed the memorial, but stood in the hall, looking down at the jar on the ground.

The jar is densely packed with poisonous insects such as centipedes and scorpions, making people's scalp numb just by looking at it.

He straightened up, put his hands behind his back, and asked, "Is this Gu?"

Gongsun Ying, wearing shackles on his feet and hands, stood aside and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is not a poison. These poisonous insects are fighting in the jar. After seven or forty-nine days, the remaining one can be called the poison." To use it as a poisonous insect, if we take the most poisonous poisonous insects around the Dragon Boat Festival, the poisonous insects that are born will also be the most powerful. After the poisonous insects are born, they are nourished with blood. After seven days, they can be controlled through the art of controlling the poisonous insects. "

A look of surprise appeared on Chen Huang's face, and he murmured: "There is really such magic in the world..."

At this time, a eunuch came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Lu Dinglu, the Minister of War, would like to see you."

Chen Huang walked up and said, "Let him come in."

When Lu Ding walked into the imperial study, only Chen Huang and a few eunuchs were left in the palace.

Lu Ding walked to the palace, bowed his hands, and said: "Your Majesty, I have ordered people to formulate new rules for this Sixteenth Guards Competition. Please take a look at it."

"Send it up."

After a while, Chen Huang took the book from a eunuch, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Is this new rule formulated by Tang Ning?"

Lu Ding said: "Your Majesty is wise, this is indeed formulated by Tang Langzhong."

"What is so wise and unwise?" Chen Huang waved his hand and said: "If he hadn't just thought of it, your Ministry of War would have come up with it long ago. Why did you wait until now?"

Lu Ding said: "I can't make up my mind about this new regulation. Please make a decision, Your Majesty."

"This is a good idea." Emperor Chen nodded and said, "The sixteen guards all rely on their own abilities. If they lose again this time, they have nothing to say, so just do as he says."

Lu Ding thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, although this method is wonderful, but to plan it according to this method, more silver will be needed. Tang Langzhong raised the silver from merchants in the capital..."

"Businessman?" Chen Huang frowned and said, "Why do the Ministry of War affairs have anything to do with businessmen?"

Lu Ding said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. The Ministry of War has just replaced the damaged equipment of the Ministry of War with new ones. It has cost a lot of money. We really can't get any more money."

"In that case, let's allocate money from the treasury." Emperor Chen waved his hand and asked, "How much do you want?"

Lu Ding said: "Initial estimate..., fifty thousand taels."

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "What did Lu Aiqing just say?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the preparation for this competition is initially estimated to require fifty thousand..."

"Not this sentence, the previous sentence."

"The Ministry of War has just replaced the damaged equipment of the Ministry of War with new ones, and it is really hard to get them out..."

"One more sentence."

Lu Ding was stunned and said: "Mr. Tang raised money from merchants in the capital..."

Chen Huang nodded and said: "Although Tang Aiqing's method is somewhat inappropriate, it is also for the sake of the national treasury. His intentions are commendable, and I am sure."
