Before Dongfang Xin could walk out of the door, Chu Huan's voice had already come from behind: "Let's wait!"

Dongfang Xin sneered at the corner of his mouth, and did not look back, but said, "I wonder what advice is there for you, sir?"

"Do you mean that if our governor cannot afford the money, the Pingxi Army will not send troops to suppress the bandits?" Chu Huan said slowly: "The Pingxi Army reorganized by the old general Yu is not a righteous army that saves life from water and fire, but just a group of veteran soldiers who want to lead An's family?"

Dongfang Xin's eyes twitched slightly. When he turned around, he saw Chu Huan's eyes looking at him with sharp eyes. This was the first time he saw the young governor's eyes so cold. Although he was a general, his heart was also jumping, but he still said without changing his face: "Your Majesty, you don't need to say these words to the last general. The officers and soldiers of the Fourth Battalion are outside the city. If you really can't afford the money to settle your family for them, you can leave the city and say to them!"

Chu Huan slowly stood up, carried his hands on his back, and said lightly: "If I need to talk to them, the Pingxi Army will not be able to use General Dongfang!"

Dongfang Xin changed color instantly and said angrily: "What does this mean by sir?"

"Every man is responsible for the crisis." Chu Huan said lightly: "Xiguan is a waste of money. You, General Dongfang, is much clearer than the governor. Whether the Ministry of Revenue has money or not, you know better than the governor. This is the case. This governor has only heard of soldiers fighting for the country, but he has never heard of the fact that when the crisis comes, there is no money, but he watches the bandits and the troops are not moved." His eyes are like ice, "General Dongfang, the rule of pacifying the Western Army is not set by General Yu, right?"

Dongfang Xin immediately said: "This is the thought of the soldiers. The Governor-General doesn't need to ask the last generals too much. Just as you said, even if you don't have silver, you can't command the three armies!"

"In this way, should I report to the court? Your General Dongfang is unable to command the Western Army, so you need another general in the court to send you a general?" Chu Huan sat down slowly and stared at Dongfang Xin's eyes: "There are many powerful generals in the court, and there are many generals who govern the army. It is not difficult to send a brave general who is proficient in governing the army and fighting!"

Dongfang Xin laughed instead of anger and said loudly: "If the Governor said this, even if you give me a note to the court. I, Dongfang Xin, was not scared. The court was willing to send someone to take over the mess of Pingxi Army. The generals really wanted to ask for it." Touching the steel beard, he sneered: "But the generals have to remind the generals that Pingxi Army are brave and tigers and wolves. If the court wants to send a general, it is better to send someone who can be suppressed. If the incompetent person is sent, it may backfire, and Xiguan will be even more uneasy."

There was something in his words, but Chu Huan could not hear the irony. At this time, Dong Shizhen had already stood up to smooth things over and said, "General Dongfang, Governor, both of them are trying to quell the bandits, and they have the same purpose, so there is no need to argue." He said to Chu Huan: "Sir, it's really not possible. This time, the officials will come forward to collect some military expenses from the gentry...!"

Chu Huan had already looked at Dong Shizhen and asked, "Who does Lord Dong ask?"

"This... is naturally the rich merchants and wealthy merchants in the city." Dong Shizhen hurriedly said: "It is difficult to recruit anything from other places. It is good for the people to have enough food now, and they can't recruit anything from them..."

"It's rare that Lord Dong still thinks about the people." Chu Huan said, "It's just that Lord Dong may have forgotten that those gentry and people are also people. They have returned home shortly after they have returned to their hometowns and rebuilt their homes. They are in a difficult period. It would be fine if the government could not help them. If they repeatedly levy military expenditures from them at this time, not to mention whether they can afford it, I'm afraid there will be complaints in their hearts? The reconstruction of Xiguan is due to their support. If they are dissatisfied with the government, it will be even more difficult to handle the matter in the future."

Dong Shizhen frowned and said, "But what other ways can there be? The Ministry of Revenue has not failed to ask the court for silver and has a note every few days, but there was no movement in the capital...!"

"Didn't Gao Lian's foreign gentry have wealthy families?" Chu Huan said: "They are not as good as the gentry in Xiguan. The gentry in Xiguan have all suffered damage from the people of Xiliang. Many of them have already lost their families and suffered heavy losses. The people of Xiliang did not enter Beishan and Tianshan. Many gentry came from those two roads. Their vitality was not damaged. I heard that only Gao Lian's family bought houses and land in Yuezhou, and they were all rich. They were first-class rich people. A lot of people like him moved to Xiguan this time? I heard them say that they wanted to contribute to the reconstruction of Xiguan. Now the Eastern General is short of money. It is the time when they are working hard. If they have more money, let them take out more. Lord Dong, what do you think?"

Dong Shizhen said: "Sir, the government has always been fair in doing things. Although Gao Lian, a group of foreign gentry, is indeed rich in families,... Now that they buy houses and land in Xiguan, they still have households in Xiguan, they are all from Xiguan. We can't favor one or the other. If this is the case, we are afraid that people will not accept it, and they will cause trouble instead...!"

Chu Huan leaned on the chair, looked at Dongfang Xin not far away, and said, "If this is the case, then this governor can only go to the court to ask for An Jiabao. It is difficult for a good wife to cook without rice, and it is difficult for me to become an official without silver. On the one hand, the bandits are rampant and poison the people, while the Pingxi Army is still holding the troops and needs to wait for the family to send troops. I am stuck in it, and I am in a dilemma on both sides, so I can only reach out to the court."

A strange look flashed through Dongfang Xin's eyes, but he still said, "Since that's the case, I wish the Governor will succeed."

He stopped talking and turned around and went out. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Dong Shizhen could only say, "Your Highness will go back and think about other ways first. This bandit problem must be eliminated!"

Dong Shizhen left the Governor's Mansion and got on the carriage. He saw that there was a person sitting in the carriage. Dong Shizhen was startled and saw that it was Dongfang Xin sitting on it in a big manner. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the carriage to leave. Dongfang Xin was already proudly saying: "Seeing that the face of Chu is not there? He still wants to change my army to generals? Hahaha, I want to see if he has such ability."

Dong Shizhen smiled and said, "Governor Zhu handed over the Pingxi Army to the general, and he would naturally try his best to protect the general. The court had to weigh the meaning of Governor Zhu. Moreover, not everyone could control the Pingxi Army. The Eastern General is a famous general in the northwest. Now the Pingxi Army is full of fear for the general. If others come, no one can sit in that position." Fu Xu said, "Chu Huan is just pretending."

"You go find Zhu Qingye." Dongfang Xin said: "Let him release the wind, just say that the case in Niulan Village was done by Yunli. He was determined to suppress the bandits, but the Chu surnamed is pushing and hindering, unable to bear the money, mediocre and incompetent...!" Seeing Dong Shizhen frowned, he couldn't help but say: "What's wrong?"

Dong Shizhen sighed, "I wish Qingye is not easy to use."

Dongfang Xin was stunned and then said angrily: "Damn it, a gangster, I can kill him with one finger..." Frowning and said: "Hasn't he been very close to you before? Didn't you say that he obeys his orders and is an obedient dog?"

"This time I met an expert." Dong Shizhen narrowed her eyes and said, "Zhu Qingye has been living in the world for many years, but she has made friends with many people from all walks of life. I heard that Chu Huan came this time and brought several people with him. One of them was an old friend of Zhu Qingye before. Zhu Qingye was very awe of this person...!"

Dongfang Xin understood, "Are you saying that Zhu Qingye was sent to the disciple of Chu?"

"Not for the time being." Dong Shizhen shook her head and said, "But if you want to use Zhu Qingye to deal with Chu Huan, it is no longer easy to use now..."

"Since it's not easy to use, find an excuse to catch him." Dongfang Xin said angrily: "Or find someone to kill this disobedient dog. I hate this kind of fickle person the most."

Dong Shizhen said: "It's impossible to arrest it. After Chu Huan knows it, he can intervene at any time. It won't work if he finds someone to kill him... Zhu Qingye has many disciples here, and all the ancestral ancestry have dated him. If things fail, it's a bit tricky... It's best to do such things without anyone knowing it. However, Zhu Qingye has a deep experience in the Jianghu. Although he is not a big shot, he must consider it carefully if he really wants to deal with it..."

Dongfang Xin said in his eyes that he was contemptuous: "You scholars, you are just mother-in-law and mother. It is not that difficult to kill someone. Even if you are exposed, what can you do? Let others know that you will never end up being an enemy of us..." He waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you can think of a way to do this yourself. But you have to keep a close eye on the matter of An family. The person surnamed Chu said he wanted to get the silver from the court. The court is only concerned about the southeast now and will not think about it.

When the news about Niulan Village is spread here, the people will inevitably be excited and will definitely think that the Pingxi Army will send troops. If we do not control the troops, the responsibility will be put on Chu Huan's head. If the court does not allocate money, in the end he can't hold on, so he can only find a way from the gentry... He is a villain, we can get the money and benefit us. Those gentry will only resent Chu Huan at that time. If everyone calls for a beating, the Chu will stay in the northwest for a short time."

Dongfang Xin smiled proudly in the carriage, but Chu Huan also had a smile on his face at this moment.

Dong Shizhen went out, Du Fugong walked in and said straight to the point: "Dongfangxin thought he was going to force the adults into trouble, but he didn't know that he was helping him."

Chu Huan smiled and said, "What do you mean by sir?"

"Aren't you thinking about asking the Ministry of Revenue to approve the authorization certificate for the entry of new salt into the pass?" Du Fugong said: "After all, new salt into the pass has two major benefits. First, it can solve the salt shortage in the pass, and secondly, it can raise money for the reconstruction of Xiguan. Now that the salt shortage is not yet in the pass, there is still salt to support it, but Xiguan cannot support it. The general can report this matter in the memorial, and then said that the bandits in the Xiguan are in trouble, and the people are in panic all day long. The general has no military power. The Pingxi Army, which is responsible for suppressing the bandits, needs to settle the family expenses to send troops... The Ministry of Revenue is in poverty. The adults can say the situation in Xiguan, the more serious the better, and they must urge the court to ask for money and food in the memorial..."

Chu Huan signaled Du Fugong to sit down and said, "I am looking for the court to ask for money and food. The court will definitely not be able to take it out, but I cannot ignore the bad situation in the northwest. In this case, as long as Xiguan can find a way to raise money for the suppression of bandits, the court will definitely support it strongly. As for any method, I don't think the court will be too concerned..."

"That's true!" Du Fugong smiled and said, "In the case of Niulan Village, Dongfangxin asked for settlement fees, which could only help the adults put pressure on the court. If Mr. Xu had this reason, it would be easier to help the adults get the authorization certificate for the entry of new salt into the pass."

"Dongfang Xin dares to do this, but he feels that his position is as stable as Mount Tai. He thinks that he has Zhu Lingyue's support behind him, and the Pingxi Army was strongly inserted into his confidant to eliminate dissidents. No one except him can stop him." Chu Huan touched his chin and said, "The best result is of course the imperial court sends another general, but Zhu Lingyue's support is the protection of it. Moreover, the Dongfang Xin can indeed suppress the Pingxi Army. The court now only seeks peace in the northwest, so it should not dismiss Dongfang Xin. However, as long as the imperial court does not dismiss Dongfang Xin, it can only allocate silver to suppress the bandits. The imperial court cannot take out the silver, so it can only support Xiguan to use other methods to raise silver...!" He smiled and said to Du Fu: "Sir, I'll give this memo! Please write this memo!"
