Chapter 67: The Voldemort Brothers Who Run Out of Money
Tian Feng's surrender made Yuan Xi excited for several days, which made Zhen Mi, Hongxiu and Hexiang, who were sleeping with him at night, surprised. Sometimes he even needed Hexiang and Hongxiu to barely deal with it. As for Zhen Mi, although Yuan Xi had the intention of sleeping together, he never mentioned that Zhen Mi's status in his heart was not comparable to Hongxiu, but Hexiang could not compare.
The day after Tian Feng returned to Yuan Xi, he immediately went to the General's Mansion to apologize to Yuan Shao. After a conversation between the ministers, he immediately returned to work in the General's Mansion. He was much more low-key and did not say those impulsive and unpleasant words. This made Yuan Shao really happy. Not only did he restore his official position, but he even gave him a lot of rewards. Tian Feng could not go to Youzhou with Yuan Xi. Yuan Shao would not allow it, and Yuan Xi was unwilling. Youzhou was just his starting point, and the four continents were the foundation. There must be an important official in Yecheng.
It seemed that they had gradually stabilized, and time passed slowly. Before they knew it, the army of the Iron Guard Camp had expanded to 10,000 people, and the speed was very fast, exceeding the number he had originally required. At the same time, the recruitment stopped immediately. Yuan Xi was not only in the Iron Guard Camp, but also reorganized the Blood Tiger Camp and the Nutao Camp, which were led by Tie Xianhu and Yuan Ping respectively. The Blood Tiger Camp was actually a new name, Xiandeng Camp, while the Nutao Camp was completely cavalry, and it was a heavy armored cavalry specially ordered by Yuan Xi. The matter gradually became more and more busy, especially Yuan Ping was the military commander of the military commander, Nutao, and logistics. One person was in charge of three positions, and there was no time to rest at all. Yuan Xi could only let Ju Hu temporarily violate the filial piety system, officially put him on the right track, and took over the logistics.
Zhang Nan's internal number of black demons has exceeded 300, not only spreading across Yecheng, but also began to expand outside. An extremely terrifying intelligence network was slowly formed. Not only Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, but also had black demons in the General's Mansion, but even many ministers' mansions had them. Although their status was still very low and they could not touch the core, this was indeed an excellent start. For example, this was the first time Yuan Xi knew that the serious antique guy with his appearance actually had a little wife in the flower building outside, but he didn't dare to take one home, which made him laugh for a long time.
The four continents were stable and the civil strife subsided. The three brothers of Yuan Xi did their own things. They had no time to fight, and even Tian Feng didn't cause trouble. Yuan Shao's life was extremely comfortable in an instant. The laziness and desire in his heart began to expand rapidly like the water of the Yellow River, and it was out of control.
First of all, the expansion and reconstruction of the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion was already very large, but Yuan Shao immediately asked for a doubled place with one sentence. The millions of money were used up, and the scale was completely moving towards the Luoyang Palace in that year. Although Shen Pei and Xun Kan tried their best to stop it, it was useless. The vast project began immediately, and the person who managed the project was Yuan Shang's mansion. Feng Ji, the counselor of the mansion, Yuan Xi learned from the secret spy that Zhang Nan was planted in Yuan Shang's mansion that Feng Ji had deducted one-third of the money privately, except for taking one himself.
Part of the others was given to Yuan Shang, asking him to recruit troops and win over the gentry and officials in Yecheng. He said that there was a part of Yuan Xi's reason. There was no airtight wall in the world. Yuan Xi's troops expanded rapidly because he went to Youzhou. Although it was natural, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were also a little jealous. After he could not help but feel envy, he asked for conscription orders from Yuan Shao and immediately began to expand. Yuan Shang had the project of the expansion of the General's Mansion, while Yuan Tan had the name of holding Yuan Shao's birthday. The two of them were equal.
In addition to these, beauties from all over the world were constantly offering, which caused a lot of storms in the inner palace. The angry Liu had already killed several ignorant people, and often raised their dissatisfaction in front of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang many times, but what can their sons say? They could only comfort themselves and promise that as long as they were there, Liu's status would be absolutely unhindered.
More than a month passed, and Yuan Shao's birthday was coming, but Yuan Xi did not have time to pay attention to this at this time. He only saw a book of accounts in his hand, and his eyes showed surprise. Ju Hu, Liu Quan, and Hou San, who was managing the account, stood aside with helplessness.
"More than 10,000 gold, plus the two thousand golds given by the General's Mansion, as well as the eldest brother and third brother promised me five thousand gold, that's only a little left." Yuan Xi looked at Hou San, looking at Hou San with a hard look on his face. There were only 4,500 gold left in the account book. This may still be an unimaginable number for ordinary people, but for him, it was too few, Tiewei Camp, Nutao Camp, Blood Tiger Camp, Military Office, Black Demon, and Gao Lan's personnel, at least tens of thousands of people, and in many places, it's not just a problem of food.
Hou San, who was in charge of money, suddenly said bitterly: "Young master, the young man is already very saving, but some time ago, butler Liu took away four thousand gold, and then another thousand gold, Tiewei camp took away six thousand gold, and the young master's communication needs, preparing birthday gifts for the lord, etc., is really out of money."
Yuan Xi's eyes narrowed. Liu Quan's money was given to the Black Demon. This was what he ordered. Zhang Nan would never use it indiscriminately. His secret spy organization did spend money like flowing water. Although there were only 300 internal personnel, there were indeed thousands of external personnel. Otherwise, they would not have developed so quickly, and there would not be huge results now. But what happened to the Iron Guard Camp? Ju Hu came here again this time and asked for money. At least he had given him tens of thousands of dollars. He would have to support two or three thousand troops.
Yuan Xi couldn't help but look at Ju Hu, because he was the current chief clerk of the Iron Guard Camp, managing logistics affairs such as money, grain and grass.
"Although Xueping and Tiewei Camp has expanded now, even if there are tens of thousands of people, it should be completely enough," Yuan Xi asked.
Ju Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, if it is an ordinary soldier, there is no problem with this money. However, the Blood Tiger Camp formed by General Iron and the Noble Tao Camp of the Five Young Master are not ordinary soldiers. They are treated very well. They have a meal of meat every day. The beasts alone will kill more than 100 heads a day. Of course, this is nothing. The more important thing is the purchase of equipment, crossbows, heavy armor, bows and arrows, war horses, and weapons made of fine iron are simply huge gold-swalking beasts. Dissatisfied with the young master, now I only have more than 1,000 gold. This is because Lord Tian uses his position to help secretly, but Ze Hu really can't hold on."
Yuan Xi frowned. He was negligent about this. Indeed, over the past month, the Iron Guard, Nu Tao and Blood Tiger Battalions have purchased a lot of equipment, but this is necessary. Otherwise, why would he divide the two battalions? Although Yuan Shao gave them a conscription order, he did not promise to train them all into elite soldiers. He just distributed rations of the number of people. As for the others, he had to find a way out. After all, Yuan Shao himself still had hundreds of thousands of troops to support.
"Young Master, don't worry too much. It used to consume too much equipment, but now it has gradually stabilized. Nutao and Blood Tiger Second Battalion have enough equipment. What they need now is hard training and practical combat. As long as you have two thousand gold, you can support it for half a year. You can completely stabilize until the young master arrives in Youzhou." This, Ju Hu comforted softly,
Yuan Xi nodded and looked at Hou San and said, "Transfer two thousand golds immediately."
"No!" After Hou San responded, Liu Quan suddenly stood up and said helplessly: "Young master, I still need two thousand here."
"What?" Yuan Xi's pupils shrank.
"Yes, news came yesterday, and it has expanded to Wei County." Liu Quan smiled bitterly. He was the only person who knew the existence of the black demon, and the only person who directly contacted Zhang Nan, except Yuan Xi.
Hearing this, Hou San became dissatisfied, "If this continues, the mansion will be completely out of money. How can the life of the young master and his wife be guaranteed, and how can the lord prepare the birthday gift?"
Yuan Xi stood up and fell into deep thought. Even if he didn't have the two thousand golds needed by Zhang Nan, the money was not enough. After all, the situation in Youzhou is still unclear, and you must be well prepared. This is true in the previous life saying: "Fight money for war and logistics, it seems that you can only borrow money now."
"Liu Quan, carry the car, I'm going to Zhen Mansion," Yuan Xi said softly.
