After Wu Shigong posed for a while, he turned around and asked Deng Qifan: "Mr. Deng, let's get back to business!" In the current situation, what strategy should the official take? Can Mr. Tang teach me? ”

It's one thing to restore your confidence, it's the right thing to do to solve the problem at hand. Wu Shigong hoped that Deng Qifan, the chief staff, would come up with a strange plan, and hoped that he would have a way to extricate himself from the predicament in front of him.

"There's no solution." Deng Qifan shook his head and replied. Deng Qifan's answer broke Wu Shigong's hopes, but it was not Wu Shigong's expectation, so Wu Shigong was not much disappointed with Deng Qifan's answer.

Deng Qifan then thought about it. said to Wu Shigong: "My lord, there is only the method of 'dragging', I hope that it will change for a long time." ”

Wu Shigong also thought for a while, nodded and replied, "That's all." ”

Speaking of this, Deng Qifan walked to Wu Shigong's side, bowed and said, "My lord, this time our Runing Camp is mighty!" In just one or two days, the Nanyang Mansion Iron Mine was snatched back. The students thought that this bandit would still be protracted, but they really didn't expect the elite soldiers trained by the adults to be so brave! ”

"Your own family doesn't have to be so polite." Wu Shigong replied with a smile. But there was a wry smile in his smile. Wu Shigong and Deng Qifan have also been in contact for a long time, and he also knows Deng Qifan's habit of speaking.

Deng Qifan does not have the habit of patting Wu Shigong's ass all the time, when he says good things to Wu Shigong, he often makes a turn at the end and says some anti-ear persuasions. To be honest, Wu Shigong is already anxious now, and he hates to hear any more words of divine transformation.

Sure enough, as Wu Shigong expected, Deng Qifan then said a "But!" Wu Shigong shook his head with a wry smile, and listened to Deng Qifan continue, "My lord sent troops this time, can you settle the account?" In terms of food, it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses! ”

"Although my lord has received 3,000 taels of labor and military expenses from the gentry of Nanyang, he can remove the double salary of the conscripts and the pension of the casualties, and there is nothing to enter. Even if you get an iron ore, a saltpeter mine, and two counties of salt, you can complete the construction of iron ore and saltpeter mines, and build an iron-making workshop, and before the adults make a profit, they will also have to invest a large amount of silver. It doesn't quench the hunger and thirst in front of you. ”

"If that's it, then it can finally increase the income of Runingying. However, the adults built a Nanyang camp, and the silver for building the Nanyang camp and the food and salary for the new soldiers in the Nanyang camp were another expense. ”

"Also, the internal affairs department that the adults will want Xue Qiang to establish, the cost of opening and personnel is also indispensable. Originally, the students thought that the establishment of the Department of Internal Affairs could be delayed and wait for the money to turn over. But this time the adults are going to send troops to Liaodong, in order to ensure the order of these two prefectures and two counties, the setting of the internal affairs department really can't be slowed down. ”

According to Wu Shigong's concept, the leader of the Department of Internal Affairs will also receive salaries, and his team members will be more or less exempted from some grain taxes paid to Wu Shigong, so although the salaries of the personnel of this department are not as much as the salaries of the same number of army soldiers, the total amount of salaries is not a small amount.

Wu Shigong frowned, and his mood jumped out of the joy of Nanyang Mansion's victory. Wu Shigong asked, "Then how long can our Runing Battalion last?" ”

The student also calculated carefully with the account office, and according to the current income and output of the Runing camp, it can support it until the middle of the sixth year of Chongzhen to the end of the year. However, there should be no other unexpected overhead. But there is a pass in front of our Runing camp, and there is nowhere to go out for the food and expenses of the expedition to Liaodong! ”

Wu Shigong sighed secretly in his heart: "To say that the identity I have crossed over is not too bad, and my luck can also be said to be unsatisfactory." However, more than seventy percent of the energy spent on building such a small foundation was spent on making money. ”

"No wonder the other traversers will open a golden finger, it turns out that they can have less trouble making money, and they can concentrate on fighting for hegemony and fighting or reciting poems and picking up girls!"

Anyway, I can't envy this matter, Wu Shigong has a deep feeling that a penny is difficult to defeat a hero. So he said to Deng Qifan: "The accounts of this Runing camp should be classified as top secret. Except for you and me and the gentlemen who settle accounts in the bookkeeper, no one can know the specific accounts of our Runing Battalion. Even the families of those bookkeepers must be controlled. As for the silver! We also need to brainstorm and discuss with a few other gentlemen, so that we can delay it for a while! ”

After ending the conversation with Deng Qifan, Wu Shigong immediately called Xue Zhinong over. He arranged for Xue Zhinong's Mountains and Rivers Division to find out the exact time when the imperial court ordered Wu Shigong to transfer troops at any cost.

Although Wu Shigong had already learned from Guo Zeng'an that Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, was already going to transfer himself to Liaodong to fight the Tartars, according to the administrative procedures of the Ming Dynasty, the transfer order was sent from the cabinet to the Ministry of War, and then issued an official document from the Ministry of War to the Yamen of the governor of Henan, and this process still took a while. For the current Wu Shigong, the sooner he knows the time of this troop transfer, the better, which can also allow him to prepare early and not be caught off guard.

And since this is already a major matter about the life and death of Runing Ying, Wu Shigong no longer considers Xue Zhinong's hardships, and he also issued a death order to Xue Zhinong, asking Xue Zhinong to absolutely complete the tasks he has assigned.

But after Xue Zhinong accepted this death order, he was worried. The establishment of the Shan Chuan Division did not take long for it, and it was only a little shili in Runing Mansion and Guide Mansion, and it did not open up the situation in Kaifeng City, the capital of Henan Province, let alone in the center of the capital.

And at this moment, it is too late to spend money to buy some officials and subordinates from various yamen in Henan. After thinking about it, Xue Zhinong also came up with a way to launch the Tang Mei who had not yet trained Haode, and find a way to send her to the house of the governor of Henan, so that Tang Mei could understand the order to mobilize Wu Shigong.

Just do it, although the operation of this "beauty plan" is a bit complicated, it is relatively simple to say. Xue Zhinong took advantage of Li's mother's relationship in the Fengyue Realm to send Tang Mei to a green building in Kaifeng City to be listed.

Then Xue Zhinong made a lot of benefits in that Qinglou, and asked the old bustard of the Qinglou to send Tang Mei to a meeting place for officials, and threw out Tang Mei's idea of wanting to be good and committed to being an official here.

For the girl in the Qinglou at that time, this kind of thinking was also the norm, so Xue Zhinong's arrangement did not arouse anyone's suspicion. This Tang Mei also has the charm of a southern girl, and has the reputation of Yangzhou flower brand. In this era, it is really a famous brand among flower brands. Beware of counterfeit labels.

So it went well, and Tang Mei was favored by an official present. But Xue Zhinong was able to arrange the process, but he couldn't control the result. The one who took a fancy to Tang Mei turned out to be the Lord of the Henan Prison Army-Xiao Yuegui Xiao Gonggong!?

Knowing that Tang Mei actually used the beauty trick on a eunuch, Xue Zhinong felt the autumn wind cold and chilled all over. But the ugly daughter-in-law always wanted to see her in-laws, and Xue Zhinong had no choice but to report the news to his uncle, Wu Shigong.

But what Xue Zhinong didn't expect was that Wu Shigong didn't get angry after hearing the news, but just smiled with an interested expression. Xue Zhinong didn't know what Wu Shigong was thinking: "At that time, the Qin Gonggong in the capital would talk nonsense, and this Xiao Gonggong would also marry a wife, it seems that this eunuch of the Ming Dynasty is disabled and strong!" ”

Wu Shigong and Xue Zhinong didn't know that at that time in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to finding the right food accident in the palace, it was also common for eunuchs to marry wives and concubines among the people. Regarding this matter, Wu Shigong and Xue Zhinong were a little surprised.

However, the main reason why Wu Shigong did not blame Xue Zhinong was that Gonggong Xiao was also one of the officials who were eligible to receive Wu Shigong's order to transfer troops, and Tang Mei could also play the same role when she arrived at Gonggong Xiao's mansion. As for Tang Mei's happy life? To be honest, the current Wu Shigong doesn't even know Tang Mei's appearance and name. Does he still care about Tang Mei's happy life?
