Chapter 69: I Pay My Salary
Orion attacked some small cities in the southeast of Pingnan Kanto with lightning speed, and did not withdraw his troops until all the slogans were posted.
Qinglan didn't have much surprise as she watched Orion escorting large and small grain carts. Although Wen Bufan's order was to let the hunters give all the grain and grass in the treasury of those cities to the local people. Since the last time she experienced Orion's voice siege, Orion's unique understanding of Wen Bufan's orders, Qinglan has not been surprised!
Sure enough, when Orion returned to Pingnanguan in a mighty way, Wen Bufan just asked: "Where did you get all this money and food?" โ
Orion's answer made Qinglan speechless, "Boss, I have divided all the money and food in those treasury according to your instructions!" But those people are so lovely, they say that our brothers are working too hard! So I forcibly stuffed the money and food into my hands. Boss, you said, the folks are so cute, can I refuse? โ
"Yes. Since the folks are so enthusiastic! Let's just make it difficult! Wen Bufan nodded.
"Boss, don't you know, this year's Nanjun harvest is a bumper harvest, and there is really a lot of money and grain there!" Orion said.
"Hmmm! That's a good job! Your reward for today's bar bro will be handed down!" Wen Bufan said.
"Great!"
Qinglan looked at these two living treasures and was speechless!
"Qinglan girl!" Wen Bufan looked at Qinglan and said, "How long is the winter in this Nanjun?" โ
"Winter here is about two months long. Winter will be in just over a month! Qinglan replied.
"Let's go here, relatives also walk around each other during the New Year, right?"
"Of course! In winter, there is no work in the fields, and by taking this opportunity, relatives will naturally move around, but this year, if the people of this southern county have relatives living in the north and south, I am afraid that it will be ......."
Wen Bufan understood what Qinglan meant, nodded, and did not speak.
"There's still more than a month." Wen Bufan thought for a while and said, "You go back to rest first, and in a few days, you have to go out!" โ
Then he said to Shangguan Hao: "Tell me to go down, and in two months, all the people on the construction site will have a holiday, go home for the New Year, and return to the construction site after the beginning of spring!" โ
"Holiday? What is the meaning? Shangguan Hao asked.
"It's rest, a long rest!" Wen Bufan said: "Also, tell everyone on the construction site that before the holiday, regardless of men, women and children, as long as they work on the construction site, they will all be paid an extra 20 yuan!" Let's have a fat year! โ
"Lord, this is a lot of expenses!" Shangguan Hao said.
"It's okay! Your lord, I am rich! Oh, by the way, these garrisons are also issued according to this specification, and those pro-soldiers you choose will be issued in double copies! Wen Bufan said. What I thought to myself was, I had already calculated it, and the money and grain that Orion brought back was more than enough for this money!
"It's the lord!" Shangguan Hao immediately arranged it.
After the people working on the construction site heard the news that they would go home for rest and pay money for the New Year, they were full of energy!
Nanjun Chengping Nanwang Mansion
"Shameless boy!" Ji Nancheng, the king of Pingnan, scolded, "There are also those ignorant Diao people!" For a little profit, just open the door and let them into the city? โ
This year, several border towns in the northeast of Nanjun have had a bumper harvest, and the treasury is full. Ji Nancheng had long urged those magistrates to transport grain and grass to Nanjun City as soon as possible, but in order to preserve their strength, those magistrates delayed Ji Nancheng's orders again and again, and finally they were picked up by Orion!
Xu Feng, Feng Yi, Luo Wei and other generals sat aside and did not speak. Since the last time I went, Wuyang pounced. This time, Orion attacked the border cities in the northeast of Nanjun, and Feng Yi and the others did not have a strong request to go to support. Those border towns are far away from Nanjun, and they have already run away when they go to Orion. So no one proposed to go to the rescue, but no one thought of it. Orion actually attacked several cities in a row! ยท
"All the good grain and grass have been robbed! Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Ji Nancheng scolded a few words, and then ordered: "You all go out and transport all the grain and grass in the treasury of the city belonging to Nanjun to Nanjun City!" โ
Xu Feng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after thinking for a while, he didn't say it.
Pingnanguan Chamber
"Orion, how are you resting?" Wen Bufan asked.
After resting for a few days, Orion was full of energy, and at this time he sat down and said with a big grin: "Rest well! Boss, where's this attack? โใ
Wen Bufan got up and came to the front of the sand table, and Shangguan Hao, Orion and Qinglan also followed to the front of the sand table.
Wen Bufan looked at the sand table. Only these places said: "This time it's these places!" โ
When Orion saw it, he was immediately dumbfounded, "Boss, aren't you joking?" โ
"Jokes?" Wen Bufan glanced at Orion and said, "Do you look like me?" โ
"Boss, spare me, I will absolutely carry out your orders word for word next time!" Orion's helpless little eyes looked at Wen Bufan.
Qinglan looked at the places that Wen Bufan pointed to on the sand table, the farthest of these places from Nanjun was only three days away, and the closest was less than two days away, let alone attacking the city. As soon as Orion's troops appeared, Nanjun would know. Then if you don't run in time, you will soon be surrounded by Ji Nancheng's troops! At that time, Orion and himself must have been more than lucky! But the good cultivation made Qinglan not speak, on the other hand, Qinglan also believed that Wen Bufan would not let herself and Orion take this risk!
Shangguan Hao also felt very strange, but he felt that since Wen Bufan let Orion go to these cities, he must have my Wen Bufan's plan.
Wen Bufan was given goosebumps by Orion's small eyes, "Don't look at me like that!" Hear me out. This time you go by yourself, Qinglan I have other arrangements! Don't bring a thousand more people! โ
Orion only felt sweat in his head and cold in his limbs, "Boss, are you sure you're not joking with me?" โ
"What a joke!" Wen Bufan pointed to the sand table and said, "It's not for you to attack the city!" โ
"Don't attack the city!" Orion's little heart, which had just been suspended, finally fell!
"If you don't attack the city, then what am I going to do?" Orion asked.
"Sticking slogans!" Wen Bufan said very seriously.
In the blink of an eye, the winter of Yanshan has arrived. The Zhuocheng construction site is also on holiday! Wen Bufan called it a winter break! Until after the beginning of spring, I will come back.
When all the ordinary people on the construction site left, regardless of whether they were men or women, they all paid an extra twenty big money! After knowing that Wen Bufan would pay money, the people on the construction site were full of enthusiasm, and they actually finished all the work for three months in two months!
Before leaving, Wen Bufan also told everyone that when they come back in the spring, as long as they introduce one person to work at the Zhuocheng construction site, they will get a lot of money, and they will get one by introducing one!
These people said one after another, even if they don't give money, they will introduce their relatives and friends to work at the Zhuocheng construction site, which is so good here!
"What do you see all this?" Ji Nancheng threw a slogan on the ground!
In just two months, all the large and small cities around Nanjun were plastered with slogans, and the content was the same. There are only a few words - ladies and gentlemen, Zhuocheng is in urgent need of manpower for the construction of Zhuocheng! If you are interested, you can go quickly! Eat and stay! Wages are paid daily! There are things I don't understand. Ask your friends and family in the north! Pingnan Pass has been opened, as long as you don't carry weapons, you can come and go freely!
Ji Nancheng blew his beard and stared for a long time, Xu Feng, Feng Yi, Luo Wei and other generals also felt shameless, they all knew that this was a light cavalry of 1,000 people, with extremely strong mobility ability! Several times it was blocked, but it was not found. This force is elusive. Only come out at night, and run after putting up the slogan, there is no pattern. Here today, tomorrow it will be a hundred and ten miles away! Today to the east, tomorrow to the north. Xu Feng, Feng Yi, Luo Wei and other generals chased after each other, and they didn't meet it for more than a month!
The reason why Ji Nancheng was so angry today was mainly because someone had already reported to him before. But Ji Nancheng didn't take it seriously at all! How can there be such a good thing? Labor should be the business of the untouchables, pay back the wages, food and shelter? Joke!
But the troops from all over the country who came to take refuge in Ji Nancheng slowly began to resign from Ji Nancheng. In the beginning, Ji
Ji Nancheng didn't pay attention to it, now there are nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in Nanjun, and the daily consumption is also a lot. These places are armed, their combat effectiveness is average, and they also consume grass here! Moreover, winter is not a good time for war! So Ji Nancheng agreed without even thinking about it. But later, there were more and more teams that resigned, and Ji Nancheng knew that things were not as simple as he imagined. Ji Nancheng was furious and issued an order - whoever resigns again will go directly to prison! This order is gone, but there are deserters every day! Thankfully, both those who resigned and those who deserted left their weapons behind!
When I think of this Ji Nancheng, I want to curse!
Xu Feng, Feng Yi, Luo Wei and other generals lowered their heads, and no one spoke!
"You're talking!" Ji Nancheng looked at these subordinates.
"Lord Wang, why don't we take the opportunity to sneak into Zhuocheng, and then, the inside and outside should join forces to break through Pingnan Pass!" Luo Wei said, "Once the Pingnan Pass is broken, won't Zhuo City be at your fingertips!" โ
"That's a good idea!" Ji Nancheng sat down, thought for a while, and said, "However, that Wen Bufan is not allowed to carry weapons through Pingnan Pass!" What can our people do if they go in without weapons? โ
"Wuguan!" Xu Feng said: "Although they have transferred all the soldiers and horses in Wuguan, they have neglected one thing, one of the three major arsenals of Yanshan Country is in Wuguan!" They can buy people to work with money, we can't buy weapons with money! โ
"The old Qian who is in charge of the arsenal in Wuguanli and I are fellow villagers, maybe I can give it a try!" Lowe said.
When Ji Nancheng heard this, his eyes lit up, "Yes, he said that he was not allowed to bring weapons, but he didn't say that he was not allowed to bring silver tickets!" Luo Wei, Xu Feng, a few of you will go to prepare, select elite soldiers and strong generals, and sneak into Pingnan Pass. Wait for the opportunity to buy weapons! Silver"
Ji Nancheng snorted coldly, "Wen Bufan, you have a silver ticket, and this king also has it!" โ
