Chapter 235 Wei Xiang wants money, food, and soldiers
After thinking it through, Wei Xiang took everyone away directly.
It is worth mentioning that at the entrance of the camp, Wei Xiang and others encountered a group of soldiers.
Compared with the group of soldiers in the camp, these soldiers who returned from outside were obviously much more powerful.
Their number was about fifty, and many of them were carrying prey such as rabbits, elks, sheep, etc. At the end of the team, there was a tiger with colorful fur. It was carried on the shoulders by four people with two firewood, and the blood was still flowing down.
Wei Xiang stared at the group of soldiers with some curiosity, and his eyes fell on the leading man.
This big man has a tiger-back and a bear-back, and has a straight face, looking quite ferocious.
The Han bowed to Wei Xiang and said, "Zhou Fen has met noble people."
Wei Xiang nodded and said, "Are you affiliated with the army?"
Zhou Fen said: "Go back to the noble man, I will be the commander of the army."
Wei Xiang said: "These are all your subordinates? Are you returning from hunting?"
Zhou Fen said: "That's right."
Wei Xiang said: "Why are you so unemployed as a public horseman who doesn't practice hard but is so unemployed?"
Zhou Fen was silent for a while and said, "Go back to the noble man just to find a way out."
Wei Xiang nodded and said, "You can even hunt tigers when you go out to hunt, but can anyone be injured?"
Zhou Fen said: "Yes."
Wei Xiang took out a ginseng from his arms and threw it into Zhou Fen's hand: "This is a spiritual medicine. Take it with soup and remember to clean the wound. If you don't have fever, you should be able to save your life."
Zhou Fen hesitated for a moment and said, "What about fever?"
Wei Xiang said: "Then let it go."
Zhou Fen nodded and bowed, "Thank you, nobleman."
Seeing Wei Xiang and his group of people leaving, a soldier next to Zhou Fen couldn't help but whisper: "Captain, is this gentleman from which family who seems to have nothing to do to come to us to win the power of the world?"
Another soldier said: "Is it here to solve the problem of our army?"
Another soldier sneered: "How could these nobles pay attention to our lives and death? What a joke."
Zhou Fen weighed the ginseng in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about him, go in."
Zhou Fen and his group entered the military camp with their heads raised their heads and chests raised.
Many soldiers looked at the prey carried by their subordinates behind Zhou Fen, and their eyes were full of hot light, but until Zhou Fen and his party walked past the soldiers, no soldier or officer dared to stand up and ask for the division of the prey.
Sitting in the carriage, Lan Jie whispered to Wei Xiang: "That Zhou Fen should pay attention. He looks like an excellent hunter."
Wei Xiang understood what Lan Ji meant. As long as an excellent hunter was well trained, he could easily become an excellent warrior.
But now is not the time to care about this.
Wei Xiang said: "Let's go find my uncle."
Wei Xiang came to the Shi Mansion and met the Saint Club in the study.
The father-in-law of Wei also unknowingly got into the Central Minister of Jin, second only to the Shangqing and Lin's father among the six ministers.
The Shuihui seemed to have expected Wei Xiang to come, put down the pen in his hand and smiled at Wei Xiang, "How is it, give up?"
Wei Xiang shook his head and said, "No."
Shi Hui raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Then what do you mean when you come to find me?"
Wei Xiang said: "From today, my son-in-law wants to ask my uncle to fully allocate all the food, money and supplies of the subordinates from Duke Wen and Duke Xiang from today."
If the Six Lords were roughly equated with the Six Ministers of the Later generations (of course there were quite a difference), then the Scholars would roughly belong to the Minister of Revenue, in charge of almost all aspects related to military logistics, such as the population, land, grain, treasury, etc. of the country.
If you want to solve the problem of combat effectiveness, the first thing you need to solve is of course logistics.
If you can’t eat enough, your military pay has not been implemented, and you don’t have equipment, so what else can you fight?
The scholar pondered for a moment and said, "You don't want to use the money from the treasury to develop your Xiayi, do you?"
Wei Xiang couldn't help laughing and said angrily: "Uncle, do you think I'm a person who lacks that little money?"
The Scholars were stunned because he suddenly remembered that Wei Xiang was in control of the current ginseng, a hen that could only lay golden eggs, and money seemed to be no big problem for Wei Xiang.
The Shui looked at Wei Xiang and asked, "Why do you have to develop a military force?"
Wei Xiang said: "Because the Chu people will continue to attack soon, Zhongxingbo is a man with great ambition and talent, and he is simply impossible to be a rival to the King of Chu."
The Shui Hui looked at Wei Xiang with some surprise: "Do you think you can polish this lower army into an army that can defeat the King of Chu?"
Wei Xiang said proudly: "Why not? Haven't my uncle seen the combat effectiveness of the Wei armored soldiers trained by me?"
Shihui said: "No."
...
No matter what, Wei Xiang still got what he wanted from the Shihui Association as he wished.
The weapons and armor of 2,500 soldiers were equipped with 2,500 soldiers, and the military pay that should be paid to these soldiers in the past year, as well as the food that could support 2,500 soldiers to eat for a month.
According to the Scholars, these things will directly consume two-thirds of the only remaining materials in the Jin treasury!
This made Wei Xiang a little surprised. Although it was something in the Jin State's treasury, the Scholars still seemed a little generous.
Could it be that my wife is successful and gave birth to a grandson for the old man?
Faced with this question, the Scholars raised their hand to give Wei Xiang a thunder, and then gave the answer.
"If there is one of the six ministers who hopes that the Grand Jin Gong clan army can have a little combat power, then this person must be me!"
After leaving the Shihui Mansion, Wei Xiang rushed to the next target without stopping.
Xianshi Mansion.
As the third-ranked general among the six ministers of Jin State, Xian Gu's status is similar to that of the later Minister of War.
Xiangu looked at Wei Xiang with a clear confusion on his face: "What are you doing here?"
Wei Xiang bowed and said, "The good scholar Xian Bo learned that he had just taken the new commander of the army and found that the number of troops in the army was insufficient. The original 2,500 people were established, but now there are less than half of them."
He said, "What?"
Wei Xiang said: "I hope Xian Bo can make up for these 2,500 people for him. In exchange, Xia can give Xian's two hundred ginseng."
Xiankun was silent for a moment and said, "I want half of the ginseng."
Wei Xiang said without hesitation: "Three hundred."
First Gu said: "No."
Wei Xiang stood up and said, "Goodbye."
Looking at Wei Xiang's figure leaving, Xiankun was unmoved, and a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth.
"I want to get to the throne by cursing the king and the princes? Stupid!"
Xianke walked out of the screen beside him and whispered: "Brother, will Wei Xiang be angry and embarrassed?"
