I Don't Want To Be the Emperor Chapter 199

Chapter 199: Trading without losing money (two-in-one)

He didn't expect that things would turn out like this. He was going to learn from this lesson and set up an **** officer to make sure these suppliers were managed honestly and could no longer act recklessly.

The army marched hastily, relying on the dry food they carried with them, and finally slowly passed through the ranks of civilians five days later, and had several hot meals.

 Because the road was smooth, the journey was very fast, and we arrived at the border between Sanhe and Yuezhou in a few days.

The roads in Yuezhou were still the same as before, rugged and difficult to travel. When they arrived at Baiyang City in Yuezhou after a long journey, the city gates were wide open, bloodstains were everywhere, and many civilians were digging pits to fill corpses.

Vendors set up stalls at the city gate, and there was a long queue in front of them. Some were carrying bags of rice, some were holding silk, and some were holding jade.

 He Jixiang was stunned.

　　Although I had already received the news that the civilians had destroyed the city, I still couldn't believe it until I saw the scene in front of me.

 I don't know whether to be angry or laugh.

These **** actually captured such a big city without permission!

"Sir, you are a step late,"

The butcher held his pipe in his mouth and laughed loudly, "We killed four thousand enemies and captured more than two thousand people. The bandit leader Yang Chong had his head chopped off with a knife.

How about I take it off for you to take a look at?"

 After speaking, he pointed to the tall city wall, where a head was hanging on the battlements.

Seeing He Jixiang's calm expression, Li Sanniang hurriedly said, "Master He, don't worry, we have always followed military discipline and did not disturb the people. These goods were snatched from the hands of the rebels."

“All property will be confiscated, have you forgotten?”

He Jixiang said angrily.

Liang Qingshu, the chief shopkeeper of the Liang Gen family, smiled and said, "Master, please calm down. These are all done by the common people without permission, and even the little ones can't control them even if they want to.

 They insisted on sending something over, and they refused to accept the small ones. "

Bao Kui rode over and said, "Sir, all the prisoners have been handed over. There are 2,352 people in total, half of whom are injured. I am afraid that many people will not be able to survive."

 “Leave everything to the care of the civilian husband, and then rest for a day,”

He Jixiang nodded and said, "Go straight to Xiba City tomorrow."

Liang Qingshu cupped his hands and said, "Sir, the Wang family, the Yan family, etc. may have arrived at Xiba City at this time, and may have already captured it."

"Um?"

 He Jixiang frowned.

 Who are the officers and soldiers?

 Who is the husband of the people!

 “There are more than 4,000 people in two households,”

Li Sanniang smiled and said, "There are mostly Hua Jin, and there are quite a few of the third and fourth grades."

He Jixiang said angrily, "Where is Granary City?"

The butcher said, "I heard from the Hu Banquan family that they were going to Grang City.

Sun Laizi and Huang Daoji went to Daliang City. "

 Chaos!

 It's all chaos!

 He Jixiang's head is full of mush!

How dare these **** act without authorization!

Liang Qingshu saw He Jixiang's furious look and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Mr. He, there will definitely be no shortage of food and grass supply. We have made other arrangements!"

 “That's good!”

He Jixiang said angrily, "Go straight to Tancheng tomorrow!"

Yueyang's capital city, Han Hui's home base!

The civilian husband has captured the towns along the way. Where else can he go except to go straight to the capital?

 Thirty thousand troops entered the city.

 Baiyang City is in ruins. A pair of eyes are exposed from the broken doorway, watching the army entering the city with rhythmic footsteps.

He Jixiang stood aside, looked back at Liang Qingshu who was following behind him and said, "We will give porridge tomorrow to make them understand the kindness of the prince."

Liang Qingshu was shocked and said hurriedly, "Sir, there is a quantity of this food and grass, and..."

He Jixiang interrupted, "I won't miss your money when I go back. What's more, if you carry the warehouse here, how can you miss the food?"

"yes."

Liang Qingshu did not dare to say anything after all.

He Jixiang entered the yamen and sat on a chair in the back yamen. He just squinted his eyes for a while when Zhang Mian walked in.

Zhang Mian cupped his hands and said, "Sir, this bunch of suppliers didn't rob the bank, and the bank didn't touch a penny."

 “Not moving?”

 He Jixiang was very surprised.

 Zhang Mian smiled and said, "That's right. I guess they don't have the guts."

He Jixiang snorted coldly, "Fortunately, I'm not that greedy, and I still have some brains. Otherwise, the regulations would really be just a decoration."

 The most important thing is if Prince He lets him know!

 This matter cannot be good!

 Taking advantage from Prince He, I'm afraid I really don't want to live anymore.

Zhang Mian smiled and said, "Master He, that is more than one hundred thousand taels of gold and silver. The rebels looted it all over the city. They don't have the courage to touch it."

"so much?"

 He Jixiang was startled.

He never expected that the small Baiyang City would have so much money.

 He could imagine how excited He Wangye would be when he found out.

Immediately arranged for 500 officers and soldiers and 200 civilians to **** the gold and silver and immediately returned to Baiyun City, accompanied by tied prisoners and

 The sun sets in the west.

　　The residents set up firewood and burned large pots one after another at the four gates of the east, west, south, north and south, as well as the central axis of the city. The aroma of porridge filled the city.

beating gongs and drums and shouting all over the city, with the purpose of getting people in the city to come out to drink porridge.

 There were not more than a hundred people who came out.

It wasn't until nightfall that someone carefully opened the door, quietly came out, and looked left and right.

After all, some of the people who were cooking the pot got impatient and shouted, "I want to kill you, but the broken door can't be blocked, why don't you hurry up and eat!"

　　It will become blurry immediately. "

 In this way, more and more people came out of the door, all in ragged clothes, with yellow faces and thin muscles.

 The most pitiful thing is the children, whose small bodies actually have ribs.

Some civilians couldn't help but feel sore in their noses. These rebels had caused a lot of harm to this place.

 After dawn, more and more people came out.

They finally found the Sanhe officers and soldiers sleeping at their door. They were startled at first, but finally saw that the officers and soldiers turned a blind eye to them, so they continued to boldly go to the soup kitchen.

There were even officers and soldiers shouting at them: "Prince He is kind, the officers and soldiers of Sanhe have military discipline, and Qiu has done nothing wrong. Just do whatever you have to do."

When the sun showed up, almost everyone in the city came out. They watched the troops line up neatly and shouted "one, two, one" as the officers and soldiers strode out of the city.

 This is a group of officers and soldiers they have never seen before, and they cannot tell what is different about them.

He Jixiang led his army ten miles away, and soon found the civilians chasing him from Baiyang City.

These people must have heard that he was going to attack Tancheng, so they hurriedly followed him to pick up what he missed!

He thought of the gold and silver in the bank in Baiyang City, and when he saw Liang Qingshu's smiling face, he didn't find it annoying anymore.

Liang Qing wrote, "Sir, I am very happy and congratulations. Xiba City, Grangang City, and Daliang City have all been captured. With our troops united in one place, we can take Tan City directly!"

"snort."

It's okay if you don't mention this, but you will get angry when you mention He Jixiang.

Thirty thousand officers and soldiers have been out for such a long time, but they have never seen what the enemy looks like. They have never drawn a sword or chopped down a single person!

The only good thing is that the civilians who captured Xiba City, Grang City, and Daliang City, like Liang Qingshu, did not touch the treasury without authorization, and now they have escorted back another 550,000 taels of silver.

 Is this the war property that the prince mentioned?

If we capture Tancheng and defeat Han Hui, wouldn't it be more?

“Zhang Mian, take three thousand light cavalry and ten days of dry food to speed up!

 If you have any questions, please report back to the horse. "

 He Jixiang suddenly shouted!

No matter what, we can't let these people get in front of us anymore.

 After Zhang Mian's cavalry left, He Jixiang led the army to advance at full speed.

The peasants had not been trained to carry heavy loads, so it was naturally difficult for them to keep up. What's more, they still had baggage, but they were all unhurried.

The food is in your own hands. The officers and soldiers can escape, but the monks cannot escape from the temple. No matter what, they have to wait for people like themselves.

Sure enough, two days later, not only did they catch up with the officers and soldiers, but the cavalry also joined up with them.

 Set up camp and bury pots to make rice.

 Inside the tent, the lights are like fireflies.

He Jixiang is old and has been running around for a long time. His whole body seems to be falling apart. He is sitting on a chair and his whole body is paralyzed.

He couldn't help but take a cigarette rod and roll a cigarette.

Zhang Mian waited for He Jixiang to open his eyes and said slowly, "Sir, Han Hui has learned the news that the four cities have been breached, and is mobilizing the army. There is fear of an ambush. Please tell me what we should do."

He Jixiang asked, "How many people are there in Tancheng?"

“It is said that there are 300,000 troops, but in fact there are only 200,000, and there are many old, weak, women and children.”

It was Wang Tuozi who came out to reply, "There are more than 30,000 people stationed in various towns and at the pass. It is estimated that the number of combatable troops in Tancheng is less than 100,000."

He Jixiang said calmly, "Then the soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth, and send an order that the whole army will wear armor tomorrow."

"yes."

Everyone responded loudly, except for the blind man Wang Dong and the swordsman Ye Qiu who were standing at the door.

He Jixiang walked over and cupped his hands and said, "Tomorrow I will have to rely on you two more. To capture the thief, capture the king first."

 “I understand, to capture the thief first capture the king, to curse others first to curse the mother,”

 Ye Qiu said lazily, "If anyone shows up, I'll kill him directly."

 The blind man also nodded without saying a word.

“Thank you both,” He Jixiang said with a smile, “That's good.”

Faced with martial arts masters, naturally we cannot treat them as ordinary people.

Shen Chu said, "Sir, I would like to be the vanguard tomorrow."

He Jixiang said, "No, tomorrow the cavalry will charge to lure the enemy deeper, and we can just outflank them."

 It rained again during the night, and it was wet and cold.

He Jixiang's brows furrowed even more. He didn't know how many people and animals were sick.

 The most taboo things when marching and fighting are rain and snow.

The sun is still shining brightly in Baiyun City.

Lin Yi looked at the money sent back one car after another, smiling from ear to ear.

 After so many expeditions, this is the only one in which we did not lose money.

 Once you have money, you can spend it however you want in the future!

If you want to build roads, build roads; if you want to build bridges, build bridges!

 “It's a good deal,”

As he spoke, Lin Yi opened a box with his own hands. Looking at the white money, his eyes narrowed together and he said to Shan Qi, "It all belongs to you Chief Secretary. Deposit it to Sanhe Bank first, then go back and get the banknotes." Pay off the debt.”

Shanqi smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

 He is happier than Lin Yi.

With money, you will no longer be tied to anything you can do.

Lin Yi said to the bright moon behind him, "Let's have dinner tonight."

 When you have money, of course you want to be extravagant!

 What else do you need money for?

 “I know, Your Majesty.”

 Ming Yue is also very happy.

The hard days of living frugally and frugally in the palace and the palace are over, the food is abundant again, the cooks are at their peak, and everyone enjoys the food.

Sun Yi, with his sharp nose, also came over directly.

 Shen Chu and his officers and soldiers went out for the expedition, and the Sanhe Guardhouse suddenly became empty.

He, the head coach, has hundreds of people guarding the house in front of him, left and right, and now he alone has the final say.

After eating and drinking, I squatted on the threshold, looking at the sunset slowly disappearing in Baiyun Mountain, and sighed, "The sunset in Sanhe is more beautiful than Ankang City."

 “Lao Sun,”

Fang Pi smiled and said, "You are just talking nonsense. They all say that the capital city is the largest city in the world. It is very big and has many people. Sometimes when walking, shoulders are touching shoulders."

"Of course,"

Sun Yi said with a smile, "But there is no law like Sanhe in Ankang City. People squeeze others and push others. If you make others unhappy, what can others do if you are weak in martial arts and have no power? Kill you."

 “Then there's no way to do it!”

Fang Pi said with a blushing face.

“Is there any royal law in Nanzhou?”

Sun Yi snorted coldly, "What Nanzhou is like, Ankang City is like."

Fang Pi remained silent.

He once saw with his own eyes that officials went from house to house to arrest people for corvee service and to collect taxes.

His father was doing corvée work on the river embankment. He was beaten to death by the officials because he was too tired and wanted to take a rest.

 In the end, only he and his mother were left to depend on each other.

 Aniang lost her life in the hurricane.

 He is the only one in the world.

Sun Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be like this. No one in this world is suffering. It's not easy. Meeting Prince He is your fate."

Fang Pi slapped his hand down and glared, "Old Sun, you have parents who are different from me."

 “Yes, I'm a little luckier than you,”

Sun Yi smiled and said, "Why do you call me Lao Sun now? You didn't call me by my name before?"

Fang Pi said, "Mr. Xie said that I can no longer call you by your name. From now on, you can't call me Sun Yi."

 “If you care about heaven and earth, what else can you call me?”

Sun Yi smiled and said, "Can that old man Xie Zan say that?"

Yu Xiao said, "Mr. Xie said you violated the taboo of your name."

 “Off the name of taboo?”

Sun Yi frowned and said, "With whom?"

 “Your Majesty!”

Fang Pi suddenly said loudly, "Your Majesty is calling"

Sun Yi quickly covered his mouth and shouted in a low voice, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up!"

 He finally understood!

The prince's name is Lin Yi, and his name is Sun Yi.

　　Although the words are different, it is indeed a taboo!

No one mentioned it, he didn't even think of it!

Fang Pi waited for Sun Yi to put down his hand and said angrily, "Mr. Xie said it, not me."

Sun Yi said in a deep voice, "When did Mr. Xie say that?"

Fang Pi said, "In the morning, he said that anyone who dares to shout your name again will be slapped."

 When they were in school, they were all students of Xie Zan, and they were particularly afraid of this old master.

 “Hey, I'm so confused.”

Sun Yi got up and went directly to the capital to command the envoys.

Xie Zan was feeding chickens in the yard. When he saw Sun Yi coming in, he smiled and said, "It turns out to be Brother Sun. What kind of wind is blowing here?"

Sun Yi said angrily, "You old man, really, if you have something to say, you can't say it to your face, without beating around the bush."

Xie Zan smiled and said, "I am the commander-in-chief of the officers and soldiers. How can a thief like me, an army commander, make noise in front of my face?"
