Chapter 720: The money earned by ability can be spent as much as you like
Liao Hui of Zhengyang County vacated a courtyard in the city in advance, as Qin Feng's residence to inspect Zhengyang County, and the guards of the Eagle's Nest and the Agni Death Camp were stationed here more than ten days in advance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info inside and out, up and down, it can be said that I searched all over again, in the words of the horse monkey, I can't even let go of a mouse hole.
The problem of Zhengyang County is not understood by ordinary people at all, but the horse monkey is very clear, in such a place where it is difficult to distinguish who is the enemy and who is his own person, he does not dare to take it lightly. Li Wei, Ge Xiang dared to smuggle grain, steel, and weapons to the four counties of the Northland, how can you say sure that they will take risks and make an assassination? Although the probability of this kind of thing happening is not very high, as Qin Feng's personal guard, he must think of all aspects.
Although the soldiers didn't understand why they were fighting so much on their own territory, no one dared to ask or complain, and carefully combed the entire courtyard according to the requirements of the horse monkey, and everyone was replaced by their own people.
Even so, the horse monkey was still not at ease, when Qin Feng was in Changyang County, he took away a full 500 people from the guards of the Agni Death Battalion, and gave these 500 people to those bandits Wu Ling, and asked him to form a mountain battalion with these 500 people as the backbone, and the requirement for him was to form an army within half a year, and start to enter the mountains to suppress bandits within a year. Ma Monkey was very skeptical that this guy could complete the task on time, and at the same time felt sorry for the five hundred guards, this was a veteran of a hundred battles transferred from various departments, and he was loyal to Qin Feng.
The combat strength of these 500 people is enough to withstand an ordinary war camp.
But things are irrevocable, in addition to being distressed, the horse monkey still has to think about filling this gap from there, the group of teenagers in the palace is not a top matter now, can only be a guard and sentry, the most important thing in normal times is to train soldiers, to come in handy, at least two years have to wait.
Today, Qin Feng was in this courtyard called Proud House, participating in the welcome banquet prepared by the heads of Changyang County for His Majesty the Emperor, and the horse monkey did not dare to be careless, and checked it several times inside and out, and then walked into the banquet hall, here, of course, there is also a place for him.
With a helmet and armor, and a saber on his waist, he walked into the hall of laughter and laughter, and he looked a little out of place, and the solemn murderous aura made the dancing girls and the musicians plucking the strings stagnant.
"General Ma, please here, please here." Liao Hui, who acted as Mr. Zhike, greeted the horse monkey to a low table on the left with a smile on his face.
The horse monkey hugged his fist and made a gesture to everyone, and everyone also returned the salute, many people even stood up, the horse monkey is young, but the status is extremely high, and he is the person next to the emperor, in the eyes of everyone, he is only afraid that he is more powerful than the ministers.
"Little monkey, on such a joyous day, you have a strained face, but you can frighten these beautiful girls, don't spoil the fun, give me a smile." Qin Feng held the cup in his hand and looked at the horse monkey with a smile.
The horse monkey smiled and picked up the cup, drank it all, and the cup went down, signaling to Qin Feng. Then put the cup on the table, and a eunuch standing behind him immediately filled the cup for the horse monkey.
Looking at Qin Feng's smiling face, the horse monkey felt a little emotion in his heart, Brother Qin had not been the emperor for a long time, but this kung fu that concealed the traces and was invisible, but it was getting deeper and deeper.
Like this banquet, Li Wei and Ge Xiang, the emperor obviously knew that they had ghosts, but at the moment he seemed to be unguarded and laughing loudly with them, and from time to time a few small jokes in the army would pop up, in order to make everyone happy, looking at the looks of the two, they were also very relaxed, welcoming the emperor, and from time to time they also said some jokes to make people laugh, and the whole scene of the monarch and the ministers being happy.
But Ma Monkey knew that Li Weige and the two were betraying the country, and the emperor was also digging a pit for the two. He coughed lightly and lowered his head, so as not to be looked at by others on his face, and he had to learn from the emperor well, otherwise a person like himself who put everything on his face would be seen as flawed and spoil the emperor's good deeds, which would be very bad.
He raised his head again, the smile on his face was gone, and since he couldn't pretend well, he simply didn't pretend. With a cold face and shuttle-like eyes, the dancers and musicians in the middle of the hall swept around, these people were all found by Liao Hui of Zhengyang County.
Tian Zhen, who was below him was the Eagle's Nest, tilted his head and glanced at the horse monkey, shook his head slightly, and signaled that he had checked all these people and there was no problem.
"Little monkey, Your Majesty has said it, you still have a strained face, relax, and open the meat well, my old man bets that you haven't eaten most of the things on this table, and you haven't even heard of it." Wang Hou, who was close to Qin Feng, smiled and said authentically.
Lord Wang laughed. Levi on the other side snorted a haha, "Commander Ma is a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor, what haven't you eaten, what haven't you heard?" On the contrary, we countrymen only have these things that cannot be put on the table, so I am afraid that His Majesty will think that we will be sloppy in hospitality. ”
The horse monkey picked up his chopsticks, picked out something he didn't know and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "General Li is wrong, the Wang Ministry is indeed not wrong, I really don't recognize most of the things on this table, we are in the capital, but the white flour bun is enough, and we can eat a meal of meat a day, but the rest, there is no more." Even Your Majesty, every meal is similar to those of us who are soldiers, even if it is the harem lady and the prince and princess, there are only two more plates of meat dishes. Master Li, how much does this table cost? ”
Levi's smile froze on his face. The atmosphere in the hall was like being swept by a cold current, and it instantly condensed, and everyone was silent. The emperor is so frugal, but he is poor and extravagant, and the horse monkey is silently accusing them!
Liao Hui smiled awkwardly, "It's not too much, it's only thirty or fifty pieces of silver." ”
Liao Hui felt that it was less, but the horse monkey was really stunned. Thirty or fifty taels of silver? I'm afraid that this Liao Hui is still talking about Shaoli, right? The soldiers on the front line are paid ten taels of silver a month, and the table in front of them can cover a soldier's salary for almost half a year.
"That's a lot of money!" He sighed. The food money for each soldier in the Ordinary Fire Death Camp is only a few dozen cents, and the cost of each meal is only a hundred taels of silver for three thousand soldiers.
"Little monkey, you really can't be on the table with dog meat!" Qin Feng picked a dish into his mouth and said with a smile: "Each situation is different, how can it be generalized?" Today's meal, but Liao Junshou, General Li, and General Ge paid for the guests they paid out of their own pockets, but they didn't use Gongnu, are you worrying about money for them? They're a big family! What do you poor boy know! ”
The horse monkey laughed dryly. "That's, that's, I've been used to living a hard life since I was a child, and I haven't turned around for a while, Your Majesty forgive me, forgive me."
Qin Feng smiled and turned his head, looked at the room full of guests, raised his glass and took a shallow sip, and said slowly: "As long as this money is clean and earned openly, how you spend it is your own business." Don't say that I can't control it, even the king of heaven can't control it! There are a lot of rich people in our Ming Dynasty, and there are many people who are richer than these three, and the weekday expenses are only afraid that they are even worse than them, and I have never said anything, I have earned it by my ability, and I can spend it as much as I like, if you hide the money and don't take it out to spend it, I will really be angry, General Tian, don't you say? ”
General Tian in Qin Feng's mouth is Tian Zhen of Shayang County, he is also from a big family, and he has followed Qin Feng very early, and now Tian's business is all over the world, and the rich are of course better than Li Geliao and the three of them.
"Your Majesty said that although General Ma thinks this meal is a bit extravagant, in the eyes of his humble position, it is also ordinary." Tian Zhen said with a smile, knowing that the emperor was talking about him, it was just to ease the atmosphere, and he did not hesitate to destroy his reputation at the moment.
"General Tian, you are really not authentic." The horse monkey was dissatisfied, "You invited me to eat at home, and I think it's similar to the one on the street, and I didn't take out the good ones for me to eat." ”
Tian Zhen laughed: "Commander Ma is a person around the emperor, I'm not afraid that you will say something about me to the emperor?" After listening to the emperor's words today, my heart is much brighter, and in the future, Commander Ma will go to my house as a guest, even if you can point it, Tian someone will be able to take it. ”
Ma Monkey's mouth flattened: "Bullying me for not seeing the world, let me order, I don't just order chicken, duck and fish, I can also order a flower, I can't eat you a few taels of silver, General Li Wei, you open a menu for me when I go back, and see that after I return to Beijing, I will fight the goalkeeper General Tian to eat poor." When he saw my figure, he immediately closed the door and fled. ”
There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and the previous embarrassing atmosphere was swept away, Qin Feng's words also made the people in the room breathe a sigh of relief, yes, how can I spend your with the money I originally earned? When the sky falls, there is a high support, don't you see Tian Zhen's face is okay?
"Okay, I'll think about it when I go back, and I must do something for General Nantian." Li Weixi smiled openly, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.
"That's it." The horse monkey grinned.
A small event was swept away so lightly, the sound of music sounded again, the dancers waved their long sleeves, their posture was graceful, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, first toasted to His Majesty the Emperor one by one, the emperor could touch his lips, but they were really drunk and exhausted, and then naturally they were looking for their opponents, to divide a winner or loser, in the banquet hall, since the emperor's close ministers and Zhengyang County's heads and brains fought against each other, for a while, it was not lively.
