"That's right! Jiang Chen, it is a good thing that you use the various industries of the Royal Chamber of Commerce to relieve the problem of redundant soldiers and reduce the burden on the imperial court.

But if you want to recruit all the Xiang troops under my command, it would be a bit embarrassing, right?"

Liang Shicheng's tone was very unkind.

Several of his cronies were also the promotion officials to command the Xiang Army, so they had always been resistant to Jiang Chen's recruitment of the Xiang Army.

"If you have anything to say, you might as well speak up."

Jiang Chen frowned.

"Okay! If that's the case, I won't be polite!"

Liang Shicheng nodded with a smile on his face and said with evil intentions:

"Didn't you promise to hand over the secret recipe for fried tea at today's umrah meeting? Why don't you hand it over together with the methods for making woolen pens, toilet paper and down jackets.

As long as the Xiang army under our command masters these secret techniques, they can be self-sufficient and no longer need to waste the court's money and food! Doesn't this mean it's good for you and me and good for everyone?"

"That's right! What Liang Chengzhi said is true, and we have the same general opinion!"

"What do Jiang Shaoqing think?"

As Tan Zhen and other eunuchs spoke, they stared at Jiang Chen with threatening eyes.

"Haha! Not so!"

Do you want to use the money I earn to raise private soldiers for you?

Do you think I'm stupid?

Jiang Chen laughed angrily.

Cai Jinggang proposed to cancel the non-education parade militia and let the Jimin Army become a soldier reserve; Liang Shicheng and Tan Zhen came with a group of promotion officials to threaten him and not allow him to continue to recruit the Xiang Army.

Jiang Chen wouldn't believe it if there were no tricks or calculations in this.

"Not at all? Jiang Chen, you've made it clear that you want to kill everyone, don't you leave us any room?"

The faces of Liang Shicheng, Tan Zhen and others immediately turned cold.

"I have no intention of embarrassing you, and I don't dare to embarrass you."

Jiang Chen shook his head and said: "You have come to the wrong person for this matter! Today, Prime Minister Cai proposed to abolish the militia and change the Xiang Army to reserve soldiers, and the officials and the adults in the central government approved it.

Therefore, if you want to retain all the Xiang troops under your command, you must first ask Prime Minister Cai. If Prime Minister Cai agrees, your subordinates will naturally have no room to refuse.

As for the secret recipe, it belongs to the officials. If you want it, just ask the officials!"

Jiang Chen directly kicked the ball to Cai Jing and Song Huizong.

this?

All the eunuchs were stunned.

Tan Zhen was also dumbfounded!

Liang Shicheng, after being surprised, sneered: "Jiang Chen, there is no need for you to worry about Prime Minister Cai and the officials.

As long as you agree here and then accompany us to explain the interests, the officials and Prime Minister Cai definitely have no reason to disapprove."

"That's right! Jiang Shaoqing won't refuse this small favor, right?"

"If Jiang Shaoqing continues to shirk, then he is sincerely looking down on us!"

Tan Zhen's eyes lit up, and he and other eunuchs started making noises and forcing Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's face was gloomy. If he didn't have enough power now, he would have wished to kill all these bastards.

But just when he was about to become angry and angry, Yang Jian suddenly walked over quickly and said with a smile on his face:

"Hey, what is the wind blowing today? Why are you all gathered together? This is really rare!"

"Yang Jian?"

Why did he come running here?

Tan Zhen and Liang Shicheng's originally joking eyes suddenly changed, and their expressions became serious.

The status of the other eunuchs was lower than theirs. When they saw Yang Jian, they immediately stepped forward to flatter him with a guilty conscience and said, "I have seen you, Factory Governor Yang! Good luck to Factory Governor Yang! What kind of wind has brought you here?"

?”

"Hmph! You are all here, how dare I not come?"

Yang Jian suddenly darkened his face and reprimanded: "Have you grown up like dogs? You actually joined forces to embarrass a young boy? It's not a shame!"

Tan Zhen and Liang Shicheng were scolded until their faces turned blue, and they glared at Yang Jian.

Several other eunuchs with palm seals smiled apologetically and said: "Director Yang, you have misunderstood! How dare we embarrass Master Jiang Chenjiang?

It’s just that the little brats below have been begging for help, and they came to ask Mr. Jiang for a favor when they had no choice!"

"Yeah yeah!

We don’t ask for anything else. As long as it leaves us with some imperial troops and some income, we will be satisfied.”

The eunuchs did not dare to fool Yang Jian, and were not willing to leave just now. After telling the bottom line, they put on the posture of watching a show, waiting to watch Yang Jian, Jiang Chen, Liang Shicheng, and Tan Zhen fight.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen was not interested in the Xiang Forbidden Army at all, and had no intention of quarreling with Liang Shicheng. Hearing this, he smiled relaxedly and said: "If all the officials here only ask for this, then it will be easy to handle!"

"Well? Jiang Shaoqing, are you agreeing?"

The great eunuch Ji Ping and everyone asked with expectant faces.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said bluntly: "To be honest, I have never had the idea of ​​recruiting the Forbidden Army in your hands.

After all, the purpose of Xiaguan is to solve the problem of redundant troops, not to control the military power, so teaching the Xiang army is not within the scope of Xianguan's recruitment at all!"

"Is this true?"

Jiping and others immediately beamed with joy.

"Absolutely true!"

Jiang Chen nodded with a smile: "As for you guys who want to do things for the official family, assisting Li Men in matters such as woolen pens and down jackets, I would also be happy to see it happen!

Let’s make an appointment another day to sit down and discuss it in detail, and I’ll make sure you’re satisfied!”

"well!"

"No wonder everyone says that Mr. Jiang is a disciple of the Immortal, a boy who attracts wealth, and he is the most generous person. Our family has seen it with our own eyes today!"

"In this case, I won't disturb Mr. Jiang for now, and we will meet in detail another day!"

Jiping and others were all smiling, and after being polite, they left directly.

As he walked, he looked back at Liang Shicheng and Tan Zhen with evil eyes and loudly discussed: "We don't want to call ourselves brothers and sisters, but treat us as fools and gunmen!"

"That's right! Mr. Xiaojiang is such an easy person to talk to. Why do you have to have trouble with others and force each other so hard?"

"Hmph! They are fighting with each other. Our family is quite old. We just want to make enough money to live in peace and security, but we don't want to get involved!"

"Brother Ji is right! Come on, let's go have a drink!"

…

Amidst the strange sound of anger, Liang Shicheng and Tan Zhen's faces were so dark that they were almost dripping with water.

"Damn, what a bunch of useless trash! Are they dismissed for just a small favor?"

"Otherwise? What else do you want?"

Yang Jian asked coldly, with contempt on his face.

"Yang Jian, don't be complacent! Don't forget that the Grand Prime Minister today is still Prime Minister Cai! Let's wait and see!"

"When Mr. Tong returns to Beijing, let's see how you die! Humph!"

Liang Shicheng and Tan Zhen never expected that Jiping and others would be so afraid of Yang Jian. After putting down their harsh words, they threw away their sleeves and left with unwilling faces.

Yang Jian shook his head mockingly and praised Jiang Chen: "Liangchen, you did a good job this time! Give Ji Ping and the others some sweet treats later. It's better to have many friends than many enemies in the palace!"
