In the Ming Dynasty, the "salary" of concubines was not high. They needed to take care of their servants and their relatives and family members. Because they could only reward those eunuchs, when the emperor was lucky, they had a greater chance of being favored.

Similarly, the crown prince actually has pocket money. However, the money is not too much. So in the face of Zhu Cilang's complaints, Gao Qiqian knew it very well.

Zhu Cilang sighed: "Oh, I agreed to the military salary of these soldiers, but now, if I had known it, I wouldn't have given them so much."

When Gao Qiqian heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Your Highness, how can you give this money to those big-headed soldiers? Giving it to them is like a waste of money!"

Zhu Cilang was stunned: "What's the matter? These are military pay, so how can I not give it to them?"

"Your Highness, how much silver is there in total?" Gao Qiqian asked tentatively.

Zhu Cixuan pinched his fingers and calculated: "Well, the Zuoye Army of the Five Military Camp alone, I have to have tens of thousands of taels. With the Five Military Camp, there should be hundreds of thousands of taels."

Gao Qiqian's eyes immediately widened: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you must not do it!"

"Oh, I wonder what the opinions of Eunuch Gao have. Can we fill our personal pockets with this money? Bah, my palace means that we don't give this money."

Gao Qiqian did not explain that not giving or filling his personal bag seemed to mean the same thing, but just nodded: "If you don't give, you must not give those big heads. Do they deserve military pay for those pigs and dogs?"

From the words and words of the crown prince, Gao Qiqian already knew that Zhu Cixuan did not want to pay this military salary. This is easy to deal with. Gao Qiqian is familiar with the matter of raising his personal pockets to deduct military salary.

Zhu Cilang was still a little worried: "But if we don't give them military pay, we are worried that the soldiers will mutiny."

Gao Qiqian sneered: "Your Highness, you don't understand this. I ask you, are there more soldiers or more generals?"

Zhu Cilang was a little puzzled: "Of course, there are many soldiers and few generals, so is there still a need to ask?"

"Then I dared to ask Your Highness again, why are there many soldiers but they are controlled by the generals?"

Zhu Cilang was stunned and then said "Oh": "After you say this, I will understand it. What you mean is that I will only pay salaries to those generals, and there is no need for big-headed soldiers."

Gao Qiqian smiled slightly: "Your Highness is wise. As long as the general has a salary, he can control his soldiers. As for soldiers who have no military salary, at most they are terrified and no one dares to mutiny."

Zhu Cilang raised his thumbs up: "Eunuch Gao is really awesome. According to your wishes, I can save hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t

The military salary is only paid by generals, even the low-ranking military officers. In this way, those big-headed soldiers dare not rebel or cause trouble. Gao Qiqian thought he was very smart, but when Zhu Cilang praised him, he couldn't help but feel proud.

Suddenly, Zhu Cilang's face changed: "Eunuch Gao, do you often do this when you are supervising the other party? No wonder you are a group of wastes who have been defeated repeatedly."

Gao Qiqian was shocked and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I am wronged. The soldiers are willing to work hard when fighting. This is just this..."

Who would have thought of shooting himself in the foot and flattering him? If Emperor Chongzhen knew about this, Gao Qiqian would not have enough to cut his head.

Thinking of this, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but sweat. He was really confused and knew to just cater to the prince, but he didn't know that he would tell the truth. If he was stabbed in front of the emperor, it would be great.

Fortunately, Zhu Cilang just said lightly: "Why are you panic? I didn't blame you. The soldiers are not interested in fighting. What I am interested in is how to save this money."

Gao Qiqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. The little prince was young after all, and it was easy to fool. It seemed that the prince was also a foolish monarch, but he was a fellow disciple. Such a stupid master is the easiest to play with his own hands.

Thinking of this, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness, what's the problem? Isn't it just to pay military salaries? If Your Highness can trust me, leave this matter to me."

Zhu Cilang was very moved and hurriedly helped him up again: "This is hard for Eunuch Gao. Remember, don't let the soldiers of the fifth military camp be heartbroken. As for this military pay, you must pay what you should pay. Leave this matter to your palace to rest assured. Sun Fan, do you think so?"

Sun Wangcai nodded quickly: "What the Prince said is that military pay must be paid to the soldiers."

Gao Qiqian cursed in his heart: Damn, the prince wants him to sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing a sing

You just said you wanted to save this money, but now you say these high-sounding words, you are not afraid of taking responsibility for any problems in the future. Well, who told us that we are slaves to share the worries for our master?

If this matter is done well, you can show your face in front of the Prince's Hall. At that moment, Gao Qiqian patted his chest and made a promise: "Don't worry, your prince, I will definitely do this matter well."

Gao Qiqian went to the Zuoye Army in the fifth army to pay military salaries, which was said to represent the Crown Prince's Palace to fulfill its promise. Zhu Cixuan offered the price of the Zuoye Army alone, which required 76,000 taels of silver. Gao Qiqian saved Zhu Cixuan money and said that it only needed 26,000 taels of money.

Gao Qiqian left early in the morning. When Zhu Cixuan heard the news, he couldn't help but sneer. He had even seen the ending of Gao Qiqian, and was dismembered by soldiers from Zuoye Army on the spot.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Gao has gone to Zuoye Army. What should we do next?" asked Sun Wangcai beside him.

Zhu Cilang pondered for a moment: "You go to the Northern Town Fushi and ask Luo Yangxing to transfer Xia Dechao and Li Hao to this palace. Then go and notify the people from the Eastern Palace Guard and wait for our orders."

Gao Qiqian showed off his power and brought the crown prince's oral instructions to the moon, and finally brought the Zuoye Army camp that the crown prince promised to come.

Shen Quan, the commander of Zuoye Army, immediately went to the camp gate to greet him with great fanfare. When he saw Gao Qiqian, Shen Quan hurriedly bowed and greeted him with a smile: "Oh, Eunuch Gao, we are looking forward to the moon, day and night, and finally we are looking forward to you."

Gao Qiqian's nostrils were facing the sky, and he hummed from his nostrils with his hands on his back: "General Shen is probably waiting for our family's money."

Shen Quan was stunned, then smiled awkwardly: "Eunuch Gao is joking, come and invite me. The official has prepared tea in the tent, so let's chat while drinking."
