"Okay, the loyal and courageous marquis will be counted first, and this father will listen to it." Jin Ying's ability to observe the appearance is so high, otherwise he would not be able to be reused by Zhu Qiyu. The displeasure shown by Yang Chendong was naturally seen in his eyes, and in order to prevent the situation from stiffening, he had to obediently close his mouth.

Jin Ying stopped interjecting, Yang Chendong's face looked a little better, and he continued: "On weekdays, a mercenary is invited to go out on a mission for 10,000 taels of silver, which is true. But the same task should also be non-hierarchical. For example, some tasks are simple and easy to complete, of course this price is okay, but this time it is to fight more with less, and if you use the previous price to calculate, it obviously will not work. didn't hide it from Gonggong Jin, Ben Hou had already seen the urgency of the situation, so he had discussed with one of the leaders of the mercenaries early and asked them to help at a price of 20,000 taels of silver per person. That, plus the military expenses and food of more than 10,000 soldiers of the other city defense armies, it will cost one million taels. In the end, there is still a million taels left for the hard work of the father-in-law, I don't think the father-in-law Jin will refuse, so calculated, Ben Hou is the one who really makes a thankless effort, alas. ”

finally finished speaking, but after saying everything, Yang Chendong deliberately pretended to be very wronged, as if he had done these things, as if he was busy in vain.

Sitting there and listening, his eyes widened in disbelief when he heard that the cost of hiring four hundred elite soldiers alone was eight million taels. It's no wonder that he was so surprised, with eight million taels or tens of millions of soldiers, he could find a way to get together, but now there are only four hundred soldiers in the battle, and the proportion is too great.

But when Yang Chendong finished everything and said that he had left him a million benefits, Jin Ying's face looked much better, and he secretly sighed in his heart that Yang Chendong was sensible, no wonder this person could become good friends with Wang Zhen? This kind of position of thinking about friends everywhere is very likable.

But thinking about it on the other hand, the expenditure of 10 million is so large, presumably when it is reported to Daizong Zhu Qiyu, it may also be rejected, that is, he said with a bitter face: "Loyal to the Hou, your kindness is appreciated by my father, but the number of 10 million is too much, see if you can reduce it by half, and your father's share can also be halved." ”

Thinking that he would get the benefits and get Zhu Qiyu's attention, Jin Ying said bitterly, in this way, his benefits would be less than 500,000 taels. With this money, he can make more people his cronies, which is a great thing to increase his strength.

This is what I really want to be a and want to set up a torii. Yang Chendong was very disdainful of Jin Ying in his heart, and said in a very positive tone: "My nine million is one tael of silver, of course, if Gonggong Jin wants to carry forward the spirit, then nine and a half million taels will be fine." ”

Obviously, Yang Chendong asked for 500,000 taels less, which was the 500,000 taels less for Jin Ying.

The number has not changed, what has changed is only the benefit he has gotten, how can this make Jin Ying willing, and shook his head at the moment and said: "How can this be, even if it is so, it is 10 million silver taels." ”

said that he had just finished speaking, and then Jin Ying said with a sad face, "But the loyal and courageous marquis, I want to give out so many silver taels at once, I am afraid that the emperor will not agree to it at all." There are also households where I am afraid that I will not be able to get together so much money for a while. ”

Seeing that Jin Ying had accepted this reality, the corners of Yang Chendong's mouth curled and he laughed, "This is not a matter of Gonggong Jin's embarrassment, the solution Benhou has already thought of for the emperor." There is not so much silver in the treasury for a while, and it is okay to tell others this truth, presumably both Gonggong Jin and Benhou know. But it is true that if you take out 10 million taels of silver at once, even the emperor will be very distressed. In this case, the treasury can advance five million taels first, presumably this amount should be able to convince the emperor. ”

It was reduced by half all of a sudden, and Jin Ying was naturally overjoyed when she heard it, "That's right, if it's only five million taels, the emperor will naturally make a lot more sense." It's just that in this way, how can the mercenaries make sense, is it because they have to pay the silver in installments? ”

"Of course not. How can the money and food used for war be divided into installments? That's going to be a big problem. Yang Chendong shook his head.

"If you can't install, how can you do the remaining five million taels?" Jin Ying was a little confused by what Yang Chendong said.

"Don't worry, Gonggong Jin, Ben Hou thinks so, isn't there still a lot of royal property in the Jingshi? For example, the title deeds of many houses and palaces are owned by the emperor, so it is better to sell them to the marquis at a discount. Just imagine, if Jingshi is really not guaranteed, these things are not taken away by the emperor when he says they can be taken away, then it is better to sell them to Ben Hou cheaply, and serve as the five million taels of silver, as for Ben Hou, he will naturally find a way to make up the five million for the war. The newly appointed head of the household department, Jin Lian, still needs Jin Gonggong to take a trip, at least the benefits, naturally everyone will not be less. ”

With a smile, Yang Chendong's goal is to point directly at the good houses in the Jingshi area, which is also one of the goals of his trip.

People say that the antiques of the prosperous times and the gold of the troubled times. In fact, houses are also extremely cheap in troubled times. When it is critical, everyone will think about saving their lives, who will buy a house? I'm afraid that at that time, even if it is given away for nothing, someone will dare to stay and live.

Yang Chendong understands this truth, why can't Jin Ying be unclear?

Now that the army of Warat outside the Beijing division is approaching, it makes people panic, and the house prices are falling day by day. Even so, there are still more people who sell and fewer people who buy. It can be said that this has become the most worthless thing at the moment.

And if this most worthless thing can be converted into silver and given to Yang Chendong, wouldn't it be a good thing. With these houses, presumably Yang Chendong will not be able to protect Jingshi with all his might.

This also seems to be a way to get the best of both worlds, and it will be much easier to use this excuse to persuade Zhu Qiyu at that time. Not to mention, he can earn some silver from the next purchase and sale of the house. As for the household department, who would dare to stop him if he wanted to do things with his own identity?

Thinking that the errand could be done well and at the same time make a fortune, Jin Ying's face was obviously much better at this time.

"Okay, good, this intention of the loyal and courageous marquis, even if this is the case, this guild will immediately report it to the emperor to know, presumably things should not be difficult to do." Kim Young regained that confident expression at this moment, as if everything had returned to the palm of his hand.

After negotiating the conditions, Jin Ying wanted to see the emperor Zhu Qiyu, and there was eagerness in her eyes. In this regard, Yang Chendong didn't have the slightest intention of getting up, but picked up the teacup and said slowly: "Gonggong Jin, there is one more thing I don't know if you know, Ben Hou was suddenly suspended by Jinyiwei?" Speaking of which, this is the emperor's own position, I don't know what the reason is? ”

Jin Ying, who was thinking about how to report to Zhu Qiyu for a while, heard Yang Chendong say this, and suddenly his face changed: "There is such a thing?" My father doesn't know. ”

"Oh, that's probably the people below making their own decisions. Hehe, speaking of a Jinyi guard's position as the commander of the affairs, Ben Hou doesn't value it very much. But at a time when the whole people are bent on fighting against foreign enemies, if it is known that Ben Hou has been suspended, it is inevitable that some people will think crankily, thinking that Ben Hou has done something wrong and provoked the wrath of the saint. If this is the case, it will be extremely unfavorable for Benhou to lead the troops to fight. Yang Chendong said with a smile, but he could see that there was still a trace of anger in his eyes, and he was a little angry.

Jin Ying really didn't know about this matter, although the commander of Jinyiwei was his confidant Lu Gui, but not everything would be reported to him. His main duty is to be by the emperor's side, and he will only report to him when something big happens.

So when I heard Yang Chendong say that he was suspended, I was stunned. Later, after hearing the consequences of this, I felt that something was serious. At this moment, Yang Chendong's authority is indeed unquestionable, otherwise, how can he lead the troops to fight, and how can he order and prohibit it?

"Loyal and courageous, this father really doesn't know about this matter. Your position as commander is indeed sealed by the emperor, even if there is anything, it should be decided by the emperor, this time it is Lu Gui and they have overstepped, and please don't worry about it. Now my father-in-law can announce that your duties have been restored, and afterwards, my father-in-law will also find Lu Gui to ask him to compensate you. Jin Ying, who knew the priority of the matter, immediately expressed his position and put Yang Chendong in an important position.

"Okay, then it's troublesome for Gonggong Jin, if that's the case, Ben Hou will go to inspect the city defense and meet with the generals. By the way, the matter of silver is still troublesome for Gonggong Jin to hurry up, and the army of Wara will soon be in the city, if it is not in place by then, Ben Hou does not dare to guarantee that the soldiers will use their lives. As for the affairs of the household department, I will arrange for my cousin Yang Fu to go there, and you can negotiate if there is something. Yang Chendong finally got up, everything that should have been said has been said, everything that should be done has been done, and it is time to prepare for the war.

"Okay, although the loyal marquis can rest assured to do things, my father will go to see the emperor, and the silver will be allocated quickly.

"Okay, I'm sorry for the trouble Grandpa Kim. By the way, Lu Gui should be the father-in-law's person, even so, when the silver arrives, please ask this person to find Benhou to get the one million taels. Yang Chendong smiled, then hugged his fists and gave a salute and left the palace.
