The first thousand four hundred and forty-eight chapters (2)

Fair originally wanted to leave, but he didn't know what he thought of, but instead stopped. After everyone left, he spoke out: "Lord."

Fer's lord screamed very simply, not like the one who had just surrendered. At the same time, he secretly looked around when he shouted this. Fer was prepared for the disgust on the faces of his personal soldiers, so it was not surprising, but what surprised him was that Zhao Hu shouted to him so easily that he didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong.

Fair did not dare to think carefully and continued: "My subordinates think that the current priority of my family is to let the people in the territory understand that Mingyue City has changed its lords. First, we must gather the rule of all territories, summon the heads of the tyrants and mercenaries from all over the country, and at the same time send troops to guard the border.

"You must know that the Tianshou Pavilion is on fire. Due to terrain problems, most territories can be seen. All regions know what the Tianshou Pavilion is on fire. We should act quickly while they are still watching."

"Well, how much force is needed to send troops to guard against the border? Who needs to be guarded?" Zhao Hu asked. He didn't care why Fer, the surrendered minister, pointed at him as soon as possible after surrendering.

Zhao Hu has this mentality entirely because he is not afraid of surrender. In his opinion, if he is not loyal to the original head of the family and is captured by the enemy and persuaded to surrender, it is normal to surrender to the enemy.

Of course, if the loyalty is high enough and unwilling to surrender, there is nothing to complain about if you are executed.

"It takes about 5,000 troops to prevent the boss and colleagues of the former City Lord Mingyue from taking advantage of the situation," Fer said. Although he was not good at military affairs, he still knew these conventional practices in the past.

"Oh, you only need defense? The boss and colleagues of the Lord of Mingyue City were destroyed. Wouldn't they send troops?" Zhao Hu asked curiously.

"That depends on whether Mingyue City is in chaos and whether there are regular soldiers to defend. If there is no chaos and there are many soldiers, they will not send troops; if the contrary, they will probably attack immediately." Feier said immediately without thinking.

Originally, after hearing that Mingyue City had superiors and colleagues, Zhao Hu was preparing to loot Mingyue City and escape, but when he heard that Fer was like this, he became interested: "How could they be like this? Does Mingyue City have a bad relationship with them? Isn't Mingyue City not asking for help from them? Why are they all under the same force?"

Fair sighed and said, "There is nothing to do. Because the forces close to us, there are hostile forces behind them that are eyeing them. So if they cannot swallow us in one breath, they will not move.

"As for relationships, on this chaotic Southeast Peninsula, even close relatives will turn against their interests, let alone colleagues who will attack and fight at any time, so don't even think about asking for help from colleagues."

"The same is true for the boss of Mingyue City?" Zhao Hu asked.

"Yes, the boss of Mingyue City is the lord of this force. In fact, he can only manage one or two cities. The lords of each city are just surrendering in name. However, sometimes, the boss of this force can use the general trend to weaken the power of the city lords.

"For example, the last time, the other city lords were jealous of the cavalry team of the former Mingyue City Lord and forced to pay tribute to two hundred war horses. If it was not aroused public anger, the boss would not open this word at all, and he would not pay attention to it even if he opened it." Fer said.

"What a strange relationship. Is all forces so in such a high-level relationship?" Zhao Hu asked.

"As close, only some emerging forces can avoid such situations as the king is not a monarch or a minister is not a minister at the beginning. However, when emerging forces become old forces, they will still take the old path." Fertou said.

"Is no one going to change?" Zhao Hu asked.

"How could it not be? This phenomenon occurs, mainly because of the two things that private soldiers and Shi Gao's feudal system. Therefore, most forces now give money to the heroes rather than enthrone Shi Gao. However, the retainers who were enthroned in the past have already been too big to be lost, so they still maintain the status quo." Fel said.

Fair now encouraged Zhao Hu to implement this, because it requires military merit to enfeoff the Shigao Territory, but he is not good at military affairs. Since this is the case, it is better to share money. Anyway, he is the best at making money.

Zhao Hu thought for a while and ordered to the guards beside him: "Let the cavalry work hard, gather troops to patrol the border, and order You'an and Mod to select 4,000 troops from the militia and bandits, and start to station on the border.

"At the same time, sending a messenger to the entire territory, ordering all the heads of the wealthy family to visit Mingyue City, and inviting the mercenary commander to come and gather."

The order was issued, and the cavalry team immediately got on their horses and rushed out of Mingyue City without saying a word. Mode, who knew that the reward could not be carried out so quickly, immediately selected the troops happily and did not miss any opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Only when You An has an objection, he was sent to the border to garrison as soon as he had a rest, so it would be strange if he had no objection.

Kaihai, who was not ordered, could only be busy with how to arrange the siege equipment at the top of Mingyue City.

After Feer left, when Zhao Hu took his personal guards to visit the Tianshou Pavilion, a noise came from outside the door, and then he immediately calmed down after a slander. Not long after, Zhou Wen led nearly a hundred women into the hall in sequence.

Zhao Hu pointed at these young women with beautiful appearance and figure in surprise and asked Zhou Wen: "Zhou Wen, what do these women do?"

Zhou Wen asked for credit: "Sir, these are your maids, I carefully selected them all throughout the city. They are all well-educated, intelligent and agile daughters."

These women may have been criticized. As soon as Zhou Wen finished, they immediately knelt on the ground in one go, and said in a crisp and delicate voice: "See sir!"

The sound was nice, but Zhao Hu was speechless.

Zhou Wen disappeared when he entered the city. He thought he had gone to control the capital, but he didn't expect to find these daughters to be maids. However, Zhao Hu, who had originally thought about it, saw Zhou Wen's tired face with a look of waiting for praise, sighed helplessly in his heart, and said with a smile: "Well, you did a good job, then these maids will be left to you to manage."

After receiving praise, Zhou Wen said with joy as if he had picked up gold coins: "Of course, I don't care, who cares? Don't worry, sir!"

It's good to have it. With this beautiful maid, the deserted Tianshou Pavilion immediately became lively, and Zhao Hu soon had a place to live.

In addition, the guards were all arrogant and had a lot of upright postures. Zhao Hu's personal guards were also unavoidable. Not only did they pay more attention to their words and deeds, but they also paid more attention to personal hygiene than before.

The next day, Zhao Hu got up under the servitude of several of the most beautiful maids led by Zhou Wen.

When they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, Sun Jie and Okde and other guards had been waiting for a long time. Zhao Hu sat down cross-legged and smiled: "I am free, this Southeast Peninsula is not good at this aspect. There is no chair at all, so it is difficult for them to kneel down all year round."

"Yes, there are so many trees in this place, why didn't I think of making chairs? According to this custom, it was from the East, it was a strange custom. I sat cross-legged for a day yesterday, and my feet were numb."

After a few words from Sun Jiehara, he began to report the situation: "Sir, according to the inspection, the inner city has stored more than 500,000 gold coins, more than 700,000 silver coins, and more than 5 million guan of copper coins. The gold coins and silver coins are both oval, and they are all one or two. According to the gold content, one is equal to three in the empire."

Zhao Hu didn't care much about this huge number. He didn't know what it means to stock up so many coins in a city. Instead, he was very interested in the "guan" and couldn't help asking: "What's going on with this Guan?"

"Sir, this silence is only a thousand copper coins, a long string, also known as a hanging coin. And our 100 copper coins are exchanged for a silver coin, so there is no such name." Sun Jie said.

Zhao Hu turned his head and asked Okede: "If we want to exchange money through exchange, should we transport copper coins from here to return to the empire, then exchange gold coins, and then transport gold coins to exchange for copper coins?"

"Yes, sir, here you can exchange a gold coin for the imperial copper coins, and this imperial gold coin can be exchanged for three guan here. After deducting the capital, we will have two more guan out of thin air, which means two imperial gold coins and several imperial silver coins." Okdetou said.

Zhou Wen thought for a moment, blinked and interrupted, "It doesn't seem like there are many."

Okede said amused and cryingly: "Sister Zhou Wen, there are certainly not many gold coins, but the number will be very large.

"If you exchange all the gold and silver that Lord Sun Jie had just now for copper coins, one gold coin would be exchanged for ten guans and one silver coin for one guan. Mingyue City now has about 12 million copper coins, and it would be 12 million imperial gold coins.

"And when this gold coin comes, it can be exchanged for four million southeastern gold coins, that is, forty million guan copper coins, and these 40 million guan copper coins can be exchanged forty million imperial gold coins.

"Think about it, just one out and one in, it's nearly four times. Once again, it's going to be 13 million Southeast gold coins, which can be exchanged for hundreds of millions of coins! After a few times, the number is extremely terrifying!"

Due to Zhou Wen's strength, Zhao Hu's personal guards all called Zhou Wen the eldest sister. As for whether he was a real eldest sister, they deliberately forgot about it. However, Zhou Wen's appearance, tone and expression are still easy for people to forget his true identity.
