Chapter 56: Master and Apprentice Gossip

The early morning sun shines on the southeast peak of the three peaks of Jiangshan (Zhongshan). Looking at the winding river under the mountain. Yue Fei and Xiao Yan's figures looked a little lonely in the morning sun. Two people for a long time

didn't say anything.

"Go to the east of the river, and the waves will wash away all the heroes! Dongpo Jushi is one of the deep samadhi. Yue Fei sighed.

Yue Fei's not very big figure was shrouded in the morning light and looked at the solemn and focused eyes on the river. A picture suddenly gushed out in Xiao Yan's heart, which was so worried about the country and the people

Hero image.

Three days. Although the time is not long, Yue Fei's exquisite shooting and amazing military method Xiao Yan is just swallowing dates, and he has to rely on his own practice in the future. More importantly, Yue Fei

I found an elder's sincere love for himself. This is something that Xiao Yan has never enjoyed since more than a thousand years ago. Looking at Yue Fei's figure in the morning light, Xiao Yan felt a little sad.

The heart moved, "Maybe this will bring a good mood to the master."

In the past three days, Yue Fei talked most about governing the army. The most important thing for the army is military discipline, followed by food and salary, both of which are indispensable.

"What Yue Jiajun lacks the most now is food and salary. Even if he temporarily supports some, it is not a long-term solution. Now the court only cares about its own enjoyment, and the little salary allocated is just a cup

Especially in today's six counties of Xiangyang, the people have been living in poverty after the war. If you want to recover, I'm afraid it won't work without three or five years.

"Master." Xiao Yan shouted and saw Yue Fei turn around, "If your Yue's army has only been resting and defending in Xiangyang's six counties in the past two years, I can help you solve half of the military pay."

Xiao Yan's voice is not loud. In Yue Fei's ears, he looked at Xiao Yan with a face of disbelief.

Xiao Yan seemed to have expected Yue Fei to have such an expression for a long time, and said it again calmly. As long as Master does not fight against the Northern Expedition within two or three years, I can solve half of the salary for you.

”

Yue Fei understood and asked in disbelievely, "Since the withdrawal of the Xiangyang garrison, there are still nearly 100,000 people. Do you know how much the trumpet of a day's soldiers and horses are? See Xiao Yan

nodded..." Where do you get so much military food?

"Now Jiankang has a population of about 300,000, and the garrison is close to 60,000. There are more than 500,000 stones of grain and fodder seized from Jiankang this time, and there are 450,000 stones left in addition to the previous consumption, even if you press

It's no problem to save a little grain for a year. Xiao Yan broke his finger and counted it for Yue Fei.

Yue Fei was shocked, but he didn't expect that this new apprentice was still a God of Wealth.

"And." In addition, when Yue Fei experienced hundreds of battles, the collapse of Mount Tai remained unchanged, and he couldn't stand it at this time. He was slightly excited.

"At that time, there were armor and weapons in the treasury that the Jin people had no time to carry away, which were enough to equip more than 100,000 people." Xiao Yan paused and continued, "Let's not talk about this, but the gold and silver money is equivalent to about 500,000 taels of silver. According to the current market price, it is more than enough to buy another 300,000 stone of grain. This is only now. After half a year, people's livelihood will gradually recover, and the price of grain will be lowered, and the number of grain and grass purchased will be higher. As for some fish and vegetables, you can buy them. If the market is not enough, you can raise and plant them by yourself, so that you can make a part of them. Master, do you calculate that these salaries are enough for us to consume for two or three years?

Yue Fei's mood was very complicated, and he thought about it silently. At present, Jiankang's grain can supply the two armies for more than a year. This is to count all the people. After half a year, the people can be self-sufficient, and it is no problem to save half a year. There is also the money in the treasury, which can be supplied for a year and a half to two years if you buy grain. At this time, the most conservative estimate is that if the people's livelihood recovers quickly this year, it will be no problem for these 200,000 troops to eat him for three or four years. Three or four years later, the vitality will be restored. Not only is there no problem with defense, but it is also possible to recover the Central Plains in advance.

Thinking of this, Yue Fei thought of the most serious question and asked, "Who is in charge of the distribution of military supplies in the city?"

Xiao Yan seemed to understand what Yue Fei meant and looked relaxed. Master, don't worry, Zhou Ting, the head of the treasury I met a few days ago, and I have dropped it to the garrison to be responsible for the military affairs.

Thinking of Zhou Ting's appearance and Huang Shan's plan, Yue Fei smiled and asked, "How is this person's character?"

"In this southern invasion, ten of the family members of Jiankang officials died in the war, and they hated the Jin people to the bone. Most of them are still doing their duty. Although some are ambiguous, Lord Lu only arranges some relief for disaster victims, which will not affect the overall situation. Zhou Ting seems to be smooth, but in fact, he is also full of resentment about the corruption and cowardice of the court, but people's words are slightly light. In the past, I wrote a letter, but every time I wrote a letter, the official was demoted to one level, and now I am only the head of the nine-pin treasury. He also died. When defending Jiankang, this person assisted Lord Lu to deliver supplies, grain and fodder, supported military supplies, and did it in an orderly manner. I repeatedly wanted him to come over, but I didn't agree. This time, I took the opportunity to transfer it over. We also talked about it in private. This person is now determined to follow me.

Xiao Yan looked at Yue Fei and found that he was only 30 years old, with a few white hair on his temples. He couldn't help but be impulsive, "Master, I have one more thing to tell you."

Yue Fei didn't care either. This apprentice surprised him too much in three days. Some of his opinions, insights and ideas were all shocking to Yue Fei, an ancient man. Seeing that Xiao Yan had something else to say, he nodded to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan talked about the first boat that robbed the golden soldiers in Dongting Water Village, to Qin Hui, and Wang Lun's treasure map of the yellow nest.

At first, Yue Fei listened to Xiao Yan and inserted two sentences, which seemed relaxed and comfortable. In the end, the more he listened, the more solemn his face became. After listening to it, I looked up and thought about it for a long time. Finally, he lowered his head and told Xiao Yan that these two things were appalling. Don't leak it. As for Wang Lun, who has an active part in these two matters, he is now a Chinese scholar in the imperial court. It is reasonable that he will not take the initiative to leak it. After Qin Hui fled from Jiankangnan again, he actually coaxed Zhao Gou's favor. He has become a deputy envoy of the Privy Council and has a high authority, and he will not say anything about killing himself.

"Someone looked for the treasure in Huang Chao when he was in Taizu, but no one found it. In the end, everyone thought it was a legend, so it was over. There are different opinions about the treasure map of Huang Chao, but no one has seen it...

Hearing Xiao Yan say that he had half of the treasure map in his hand, and the other half was said to be in the hands of the golden man, he couldn't help but be shocked. If the golden man gets this wealth, his national strength will be doubled, and he can quickly expand his armaments and go south again in a short time. With the strength and status quo of the current court, I'm afraid it can't resist the invasion of the golden soldiers..."

Thinking of this, Yue Fei's heart couldn't help but feel heavier.

Just when the two fell into silence, a breathless shout came from the bottom of the mountain. It turned out that Gao Zhan led Zhou Ting up the mountain.

"General, there is good news..."
