Chapter 180

"Well, the loyal and brave marquis will count first, and I'll just listen." Jin Ying's ability to observe her face is so high that she can't be reused by Zhu Qiyu. Yang Chendong's displeasure was naturally seen in his eyes. In order to prevent the situation from getting stiff, he had to close his mouth obediently.

Jin Ying stopped interrupting. Yang Chendong's face looked better. He continued: "It's right to hire mercenaries for a mission every day, which is 10000 taels of silver. But the same mission also needs different levels. For example, some tasks are simple and easy to complete. Of course, the price is OK, but this time it's obviously not feasible to calculate with less war and more, and then use the previous price. I didn't hide it from father-in-law Jin. I knew the danger of the situation long ago So I had a discussion with a leader of the mercenaries early and asked them for help at the price of 20000 Liang silver per person. That's why I talked to others. If you calculate this, four hundred people would be eight million Liang. In addition to the military expenses and food of more than 10000 soldiers of other urban defense forces, it would cost one million Liang. In the end, there are one million Liang left for my father-in-law's hard work. I think Mr. Jin I won't refuse. In this way, Ben Hou is the one who really doesn't please. Alas. "

Finally finished, but after finishing everything, Yang Chendong pretended to be greatly wronged, as if he had done these things for nothing.

Sitting there listening, when he heard that the cost of employing only four hundred elite soldiers was eight million taels, he stared wide and looked unbelievable. It's no wonder he was so surprised. With eight million taels, even dozens of nearly one million soldiers can find a way to make up, but now only four hundred soldiers go to war. This proportion is too wide.

But when Yang Chendong finished everything and said that he had left himself a million benefits, Jin Ying's face looked much better. He sighed in his heart that Yang Chendong was sensible. No wonder this person can be a good friend with Wang Zhencheng? This position of considering friends everywhere is very likable.

But on the contrary, when you think that the expenditure of 10 million is so large that you must report it to Dai Zong Zhu Qiyu, you may also be rejected. That is, you said bitterly: "Zhongdan Hou, your kindness has been received by the public, but the figure of 10 million is too much. See if you can reduce it by half, and our share can also be reduced by half."

Thinking of getting both benefits and Zhu Qiyu's attention, Jin Ying said reluctantly. In this way, his benefits are completely less than 500000 Liang. With this money, he can make more people his confidants, which is an excellent thing to expand his strength.

Yang Chendong despised Jin Ying in his heart and said in a very positive tone, "my nine million is not less than one or two silver. Of course, if father-in-law Jin wants to carry forward his spirit, it would be 9.5 million Liang."

Obviously, Yang Chendong wants 500000 Liang less, which is the 500000 Liang less given to Jin Ying.

The number did not change. What changed was just the benefit he got. How could this make Jin Ying happy? He shook his head and said, "how can this be? That's it. It's 10 million silver."

Just after saying that, Jin Ying said with a sad face, "but Zhongdan Hou wants so much silver at once. I'm afraid the emperor won't agree at all. And the Ministry of household can't get so much silver at once."

Seeing that Jin Ying has accepted this reality, Yang Chendong's mouth tilted and smiled, "You don't have to be embarrassed by father-in-law Jin. I've already figured out the solution for the emperor. If the Treasury can't take so much silver at one time, it's OK to tell others. I'm sure both father-in-law Jin and I know. But if you do take out 10 million liang of silver at once, even the emperor will be very distressed. In that case, the Treasury can advance five yuan in advance One million Liang. I'm sure this number can convince the emperor that he can do it. "

It was reduced by half at once. Jin Ying was naturally very happy after hearing it. "Yes, if there were only 5 million Liang, the emperor would naturally make a lot of sense. But in this way, how can mercenaries make sense? Is it necessary to give silver in installments?"

"Of course not. How can the money and grain used for war be phased? That will cause big problems." Yang Chendong shook his head.

"Can't installment, then how to do the remaining 5 million liang?" Jin Ying was confused by Yang Chendong.

"Don't worry, Duke Jin, I think so. Isn't there still a lot of Royal Property in the capital? For example, many houses and land leases of other courts of the Royal Palace belong to the emperor. It's better to sell them to me at a discount. Imagine that if the capital is not guaranteed, these things can be taken away if the emperor says to take them away, it's better to sell them at a low price As for me, I will try to gather up the five million Liang silver for the war. The newly appointed Minister of household, Jin Lian, still needs father-in-law Jin to go there. At least it will be good for everyone. "

Laughing, Yang Chendong aims directly at the good houses in the capital, which is also one of the destinations of his trip.

People say that antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times. In fact, houses are extremely cheap in troubled times. Everyone will want to protect their lives at the critical time. Who will buy a house? I'm afraid someone will dare to stay and live even if they are given away at that time.

Yang Chendong understands this truth. Why doesn't Jin Ying know it?

Now, the vara army outside the capital is approaching, causing panic, and house prices are falling day by day. Even so, there are still more sellers and fewer buyers. It can be said that this has also become the most worthless thing at present.

If you can convert the least valuable thing into silver for Yang Chendong, wouldn't it be a good thing. With these houses, Yang Chendong must not do his best to protect the capital at that time.

This also seems to be a way to have the best of both worlds. At that time, it will be much easier to convince Zhu Qiyu on this excuse. Not to mention, he can still earn some money from buying and selling houses next. As for the Ministry of household, who dares to stop it if he wants to do things with his own identity?

Jin Ying's face looked much better when she thought that she could make a fortune while doing a good job.

"Well, well, Zhongdan Hou's intention is good. That's right. The guild will report it to the emperor immediately. It must not be difficult." Jin Ying regained her confident expression at the moment, as if everything had returned to his palm.

After talking about the conditions, Jin Ying wanted to see the Emperor Zhu Qiyu. He was eager in his eyes. In this regard, Yang Chendong didn't want to get up at all. Instead, he picked up the tea cup and said slowly: "father Jin, I don't know if you know one more thing. Ben Hou was suddenly suspended by the royal guards? Speaking of it, this is a post personally granted by the emperor. I don't know why?"

Jin Ying, who was thinking about how to report to Zhu Qiyu for a while, suddenly heard Yang Chendong say this, and his face changed and said, "is there such a thing? I don't know."

"Oh, it should be the people below who make their own decisions. Hehe, it's just a command post of royal guards. I don't pay much attention to it. But when the whole people are determined to fight against foreign enemies, if people know that I've been suspended, it's inevitable that some people will think about whether I've done something wrong and caused holy anger. If so , it's extremely unfavorable for our leader to fight. "Yang Chendong said with a smile, but he could see that he was still a little angry at the bottom of his eyes.

Jin Ying really didn't know about it. Although the royal guards commander was LV GUI, his trusted follower promoted by him, not everything would be reported to him. His main duty is to accompany the emperor. He will report it to him only when major events happen.

So when Yang Chendong said that he had been suspended from his post at first, he was stunned there. After hearing the consequences of this, I felt that things were a little serious. At this moment, Yang Chendong's authority is indeed beyond doubt. Otherwise, how can he lead the army to fight and how can he enforce orders and prohibitions?

"Hou Zhongdan, I really don't know about this. Your command position is indeed granted by the emperor. Even if there is anything, it should be decided by the emperor. This time, LV GUI and them have exceeded, so please don't worry about it. Now we can announce that your position has been restored, and we will ask LV GUI to compensate you later "Jin Ying, who knew the priority of things, immediately expressed her attitude and put Yang Chendong in an important position.

"Well, then please father-in-law Jin. That's right. I'll go to patrol the city defense and meet all the generals. By the way, please hurry up with father-in-law Jin about the silver. The warla army will be in the city soon. If it's not in place at that time, I don't dare to guarantee that the soldiers will use their lives. As for the affairs at the Ministry of household, I'll arrange for my cousin Yang Fu to go Yang Chendong finally got up. He said everything he should say and did everything he should do. It's time to make preparations before the war.

"Well, Zhong Dan Hou, don't worry about doing things. I'll go to the emperor now and the silver will be disbursed soon.

"Well, please father-in-law Jin. By the way, LV GUI should be his father-in-law's person. That's it. When the silver arrives, ask this person to fetch your 1 million Liang." Yang Chendong smiled, then hugged his fist and saluted and left the palace.
