After Helanxiong had a deep conversation with Zhao Xilie and used a clear division of labor for more than ten days after he devoted his own work, an inspection team from Jicheng broke the peace of the headquarters of the Third Military Region of Mengchong.

This is an inspection team led by the Ministry of Finance. On the basis of the official documents sent to Helanxiong, the Ministry of Finance sent personnel to inspect the use of funds allocated to the Third Military Region by the imperial center since this year.

Now most of the needs of the Third Military Region still require the central government's supply, including everyone's military pay and annual expenditure, which is indeed an astronomical figure for ordinary people. If someone makes trouble in it and wants to fill his pockets, it will be too easy.

He Lanxiong shook the official document and said to Zhao Xilie: "There is no problem with the use of funds, right? Is there any misappropriation and other situations? Wang Wudi's subordinates are all like him and love the most. This time, Su Mo, deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, Wang Wudi's direct favorite general, and the guy who is most proficient in checking accounts."

"I'm sure there is no corruption, but embezzlement may be possible. You know, the Third Military Region is now being built everywhere, and the budgets set up at the beginning of the year cannot be so accurate. Some projects have too many, and some projects are far from enough. Therefore, there must be many such things to use the extra projects to fill the gaps in other projects." Zhao Xilie said: "This should not be considered a matter, right? It's not a pampering bag!"

He Lanxiong smiled bitterly: "Hurry up and ask someone to count these situations to see if these loopholes can be blocked and used for special funds. This is what Wang Wudi repeatedly emphasized. Although it is understandable to move things like this, it is absolutely impossible to pass Su Mo's level in the process. Even if it is really impossible to make up for it, the accounts must be clear."

"Yes." Zhao Xilie was a little dissatisfied.

"Don't think this is a small matter. If these ancestors are annoyed, the budget allocation for next year will be greatly reduced. If many projects are done well, they can cut them off for you." Helanxiong reminded.

This reminder woke Zhao Xilie up a little. Now the Northwest is the time to use money. If the plan for next year is delayed because of this, it will be a big trouble.

"I'll arrange someone to do this right away, and I'll stare at it myself."

Three days later, Su Mo, deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, appeared outside the headquarters of the Third Military Region of Mengchong. Helanxiong led all the officials of the headquarters to welcome him out of the gate. Standing beside Helanxiong was Zhao Xilie with two dark circles. These days, he has finally figured out the accounts today, and he is confident that he will not let this iron abacus find any flaws.

The carriage opened with a bang, and Su Mo, who was wrapped like a bear, got off the carriage tremblingly, and took a look at his nose. Looking at his face, he had suffered a lot along the way.

"Minister Su, we have worked hard all the way." Helanxiong smiled and greeted him with a smile.

"Su Mo has seen the commander." Su Mo's voice was a little hoarse, and he saluted Helanxiong. Although he is now considered an imperial envoy, he could not stand up in front of the commander Helan. No matter whether it is background, qualifications or position, the person in front of him is not comparable to that of him, let alone he still respects this commander.

He gave up his generous life in the wealthy areas of the Central Plains. He came to this place where birds did not lay eggs and garrisoned and developed, which was not something that ordinary people could make a decisive decision. As the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, Su Mo also knew more or less about the reasons why Helanxiong came to the northwest and the middle.

"I've suffered a lot along the way, right?" He Lanxiong laughed and stepped forward and held Su Mo's hand. "Let's go, I've already set up the banquet. Go in and have a few drinks to get rid of the cold."

"Okay, okay, along the way, I almost froze me into a dog. I thought Jishi County was cold enough, but I never expected that compared to here, it was really a witch. Look at me like this, I just wrapped my quilt around my body." Su Mo said embarrassedly that he was a very kind person, but now he looked like he could not have any demeanor at all.

"It's indeed a little colder here. In the first year, most of us were not used to it. However, after staying for a long time, we got used to it. When our Commander Zhao first came, he was sick from the cold for half a month." He Lanxiong pointed at Zhao Xilie beside him.

"Minister Su has worked hard all the way!" Zhao Xilie greeted him enthusiastically.

Su Mo looked at Zhao Xilie and said in surprise: "Deputy Commander Zhao, look at you like this, why does it seem like you haven't slept for several days? You're not that I heard that Su is coming and is rushing to make fake accounts!"

Zhao Xilie and Helanxiong were both silent. Su Mo was indeed the same as Wang Wudi. He was still smiling just now. When his eyes blinked, the old hen turned into a duck and turned against him.

"Minister Su is wronged. Zhao was originally inspecting the wintering situation of various farms outside. He received a letter from the commander and rushed back overnight. Didn't he sleep all night? He turned into this look. He laughed and laughed!" Zhao Xilie said with a calm smile.

"Oh, that's really hard. In fact, Su Mo came here just a routine inspection by the Ministry of Finance. Deputy Commander Zhao really didn't need to come back like this." Su Mo chuckled.

"How can this work? Minister Su is also an imperial envoy. We local officials must be flattered. Next year, we will still expect the center to take care of us, a place that is so poor that we can't poop!" Zhao Xilie stepped forward and took Su Mo's hand enthusiastically, shaking it.

He Lanxiong was a little uncomfortable with Zhao Xilie's performance. He smiled and turned to look at the people who came with Su Mo. This made him stunned. He saw a familiar face, but this face should not appear in the team of the Ministry of Finance. He blinked his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and took a closer look.

Yes, it was him, Niu Ben, a former general under the Supervisory Office, and now a senior official of the National Security Bureau. How did he get into the team of the Ministry of Finance? Helanxiong had just taken a step forward. Niu Ben, who was mixed in the team, suddenly waved his head lightly at him. Helanxiong stopped suddenly, took a deep breath, turned around, and said to Zhao Xilie and Su Mo who were still sticking together like candy, "Xilie, please hurry up and ask Minister Su to come in. It's very windy and snowy outside. Stay for a while, don't freeze Minister Su."

"The commander said, Minister Su, please come in, please come in!" Zhao Xilie smiled.

As soon as he walked into the building, a warm wind of Hexi rushed towards him. Su Mo couldn't help but be stunned. Seeing that most of the people coming and going inside the building were only wearing a jacket, Helanxiong and Zhao Xilie who had been greeted before. The same was true for both of them. If they were wrapped around, they would really look very different at this moment.

"Here?" He looked at Helanxiong in surprise.

Helanxiong smiled proudly, "Come on, please give Lord Su a loose clothes."

An officer stepped forward, took off Su Mo's thick coat, and retreated to the side with a smile.

"Mr. Su, this is a new heating equipment that has just been developed in a workshop in Jishicheng. How is it good? It's right? It's opposite to the outside, there's another world inside, right?" He Lanxiong said proudly.

"There is indeed another world. This equipment is not even Jicheng yet!" Su Mo exclaimed: "Commander, this is the case in this building? Does it cost a lot of money, right?"

When Deputy Minister Su mentioned money, Helanxiong became alert: "It didn't cost much money. This thing is just the workshop that I put first to do an experiment to see how the effect is and how to improve it? You also know that new things like this are risky when trying them out. Only the rough people in the army have the courage to use them. He really can't find other places. Besides, the fuel used in this thing is a medium. There are not many other things in the northwest, but the coal is everywhere, and it doesn't cost you or pay for it."

"So that's how it is!" Su Mo nodded suddenly.

The storm was raging outside, but the building was as warm as spring, which opened Su Mo's eyes. Compared with Jicheng, this place was a different scenery.

The banquet had been arranged in the building, and it was the guests and hosts who had fun. After drinking, Zhao Xilie arranged for Su Mo and his party to rest. At such a long distance and such weather, these people had indeed worked hard. Even if they came to find faults, they had to be fully energetic before they could be motivated.

"Commander, this Minister Su is not easy to deal with!" After arranging the group and returning to Helanxiong's residence, Zhao Xilie frowned.

"Of course it's not easy to deal with, but it doesn't matter. As long as you can get through the big picture and there is no corruption, we can easily pass this level." Helanxiong said with a smile.

"Hey, you were still facing a great enemy a few days ago. Why did you get off today? " Zhao Xilie said in confusion.

Helanxiong smiled mysteriously, "Xilei, is it okay now? Just sit with me for a while. Maybe we will have guests coming."

“Didn’t the guests all sleep?”

"This guest is a night owl. He must not be able to sleep at this time and will definitely come to find us." Helanxiong said with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, a soft knock on the door rang out of the door.

"Come in, the door is not closed!" Helanxiong said.

The door was pushed open silently, and a figure flashed in. Zhao Xilie stared at the other party with wide eyes. Isn’t this a Su Mo’s entourage?

"Introduce yourself!" Helanxiong crossed his legs and looked at the person who came with a smile.

"National Security Bureau Niu Ben, I have met two commanders."
