Chapter 437 Financing

Early in the morning, Nie Pan took Song Xiyan to patrol the inside and outside of Nanchang City. Because of his martial arts, Nie Pan never needed a bodyguard to follow him, and he was always alone.

As the master of this new regime, Nie Pan requires himself to do everything with his ability and try his best to win prestige in the hearts of the people.

However, after a period of time, Nie Pan realized that it was definitely not an easy thing to be an official. Sometimes he often encountered some bad things about the Zhang family and Li family. The public said that the public was reasonable and the mother-in-law was reasonable. In the face of such a group of people, it was difficult for you to judge who was right and who was wrong. Nie Pan had no choice but to perfunctorily and take these miscellaneous The matter is handed over to some civil servants.

This also made Nie Pan afraid of being an official and made up his mind. After overthrowing the regime of the Southern Song Dynasty and defeating the invasion of the Mongols, he would take his women to learn from Fan Li, boat in the West Lake, and live a happy life.

He hurriedly walked around the city and didn't find anyone who made trouble. Nie Pan secretly congratulated himself, otherwise he would give himself a headache again. He hurriedly led Song Xiyan to the head of Nanchang City, looking at the barracks that were practicing in the distance, and looking at the situation in the barracks, Nie Pan suddenly added a little anxiety in his heart.

Many of the hot soldiers trained in the barracks under the city do not have knives and guns in their hands. They can only use some wooden sticks or hoes and other agricultural tools to practice, let alone carry armor, combat robes, military horses and other materials. If it goes on like this for a long time, the combat effectiveness of the trained army can be imagined.

The grain and fodder and military salaries in Hunan Kufu originally had no problem to support a force of 30,000 to 50,000 people. However, because the rapid development of the rebel army has reached more than 100,000 people in a short period of time, it is difficult to support it with the original inventory alone. Food can still be barely supplied. Casting weapons and armor requires a lot of steel and money. This is The Kufu in Hunan could not support it, so nearly 40% of the rebels had no weapons or armor.

Standing at the head of the city, with the cool breeze in early summer blowing his face and looking at the insurgents like scattered soldiers in the barracks, Nie Pan couldn't help frowning. From time to time, there were sparse calls from the forest in the distance, which made Nie Pan more irritable.

"What's wrong? Looking at your sad look, I don't know what made our grand marshal unhappy? Is it because you are worried about who is sleeping with you tonight? Song Xiyan, dressed in a uniform, stood behind Nie Pan and poked Nie Pan's back with her fingers and joked.

"Dizzy, when is it? Are you still in the mood to joke? I am now their leader, and I have to be responsible for their future. If this uprising is suppressed by the Southern Song Dynasty, I don't know how many of these soldiers will die! Therefore, I must do my best for their future. Nie Pan stood at the head of the city with his hands on his back and said, as if he was worried about the country and the people.

"It's like the truth. Who ran out of Sister Long's room last night, ran into Li Mochou's bedroom for a long time on the pretext of going to the toilet?" Song Xiyan quietly stretched out her hand and pinched Nie Pan's arm and asked unrelentingly.

"..."

Nie Pan was speechless for a while, and then came to his senses before asking, "Have you seen this? Have you been secretly staring at my every move last night?

"Cut, come on, it's Li Mochou who deliberately showed off to me. I don't bother to care about you..." Song Xiyan said with her arms in her chest with a disdainful look.

"Ok, I'll sleep in your room tonight. Don't be jealous here!"

Nie Pan waved his hand, promised generously, and then returned to the point: "Xiyan, look, so many people in our army have no armor and no weapons. How can we fight against the army of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongolian army in the future?"

"Well... This is a problem. It's really not like a war with a hoe, but like farming." Song Xiyan pinched her chin and fell into thinking. For a long time, she suddenly shouted happily, "Yes, yes, I have come up with a solution..."

"Really? Great! What's the way? Come on!" Nie Pan held Song Xiyan's hand happily and eagerly waited for her opinion.

"We can buy metal, recruit craftsmen, and cast weapons and armor for soldiers!" Song Xiyan blinked and stared at Nie Pan, deliberately pretending to be naive and said.

Nie Pan couldn't help blurting out a rude sentence: "I x, you are just like you didn't say it!" Who doesn't know how to buy steel and recruit craftsmen? The key is that we have no money now, and there are less than 10,000 taels of silver left in the silver treasury. Even if we don't keep the military pay for the soldiers, it's not enough to take it all out!"

"Well, I won't talk to you. I'm kind to give you some advice. You actually swear and won't talk to you!" Song Xiyan looked embarrassed and angry, and turned around and wanted to leave.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong... I don't know what General Song has? You are the female general of our rebel army. If you really have a good idea, you must say it. Don't take personal revenge..."

Nie Pan put his arms around Song Xiyan's waist and pretended to be serious and muttered quietly in her ear when he held her in his arms: "There seems to be nothing wrong with me saying 'I x', right?"

Song Xiyan's face turned a little red, and she hurriedly pushed Nie Pan away and said, "Is there any serious? There are soldiers standing next to you guarding the city. What do you look like when you hug here? Don't let the soldiers see you as a lustful person. Let's see who will obey you!"

"It's a big mistake!" Nie Pan shook his fingers awe-inspiringly and denied Song Xiyan's accusations: "People in this era don't know history. As four young women in the 21st century, I think you should know history, right? Which leader of the Peasant Uprising Army is not three wives and four concubines, and there are groups of beautiful women? Think about the story of Li Zicheng and Chen Yuanyuan, and think that Hong Xiuquan has more than 80 princesses... Therefore, only the leaders of many beautiful women around them are in line with the identity of the leader of the rebel army. Fortunately, I have done this.

"Well, I admit that I'm not as good as you. Do you want to know what I'm going to say? If you want to know, please shut up!" Song Xiyan looked like she liked to listen and didn't listen to it.

"Listen to General Song's opinions." Nie Pan hurriedly held his wrist and saluted respectfully, and he was happy to fight and make trouble.

Song Xiyan coughed and said solemnly, "Oh... I'll remind you, about the ancient tomb, do you remember? When Wang Chongyang built the ancient tomb, did he hide a large amount of gold and silver treasures in the secret room as anti-gold funds? We can send some people to quietly dig out the treasure in the ancient tomb. I believe this fund will definitely help a lot.

"So you're talking about the funds in the tomb of the living dead?"

After listening to Song Xiyan's words, Nie Pan was a little depressed and shook his head and said, "I didn't think of this, but those funds are too little. There is still no problem to support thousands of people, but we are more than a hundred thousand people now. Wang Chongyang is just a civilian. How can he save his savings? Maybe his original goal was just to organize thousands of troops to fight guerrillas behind the Golden Man, which was just a drop in the bucket for such a huge insurgents like us!"

Song Xiyan still insisted on her own opinion: "Although it's not much, it's better than nothing. Those silver taels have at least tens of thousands of taels, all of which have purchased metal. At least more than 10,000 weapons can be created, which is also a lot of money. That is, the location of the ancient tomb is now controlled by the Mongols. If you want to transport it safely It takes a lot of effort to come to Hunan.

Nie Pan did not continue to listen to Song Xiyan, but muttered to himself as if he were demented, saying "Ancient tomb? Funds?" These four words suddenly flashed in my mind, thinking of the treasure left by Li Yuanhao.

"Ha ha, ha ha... I finally have a way. I can not only raise a large amount of money, but also take revenge. I'm going to let Zhuo Zhiyuan, an asshole, make a fuss!" Nie Pan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed like crazy.
