Chapter 3540 Apology and Money(2/2)
"Ah?" Ren Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Hundreds of thousands? Impossible!"
"Hey... there are not hundreds of thousands, even if there are tens of thousands... Hey... let's talk about it, what's the matter with me?" Zhang Fan shook his head and sighed, and still rubbed his head.
Ren Cheng told the story of what happened on the top of the city and what followed the military station. "County Master! Now that the military pay is cut off, the soldiers are not interested in fighting. If the thief army arrives... I hope the county master can raise some military pay, and send some first..."
"Oh... soldiers' salary..." The county magistrate nodded, "This military salary is indeed very important... In this way, you go down first... I'll think of a solution..."
If Ren Cheng had no choice but to leave, but this time, he had no idea why, Ren Cheng gritted his teeth and refused to leave, so he must have an explanation.
The county magistrate was helpless and ordered the county magistrate Wang De to come.
County Magistrate Wang De came, glanced at Ren Cheng with his eyes, then curled his lips secretly, then took two steps forward to meet the county magistrate.
"Cough cough..." Before the county magistrate Zhang Fan could speak, he suddenly started to cough violently. The servant next to him hurriedly brought slurry water.
Zhang Fan reluctantly took a few sips, panting, as if he would fall down at any time. "The cold wind is getting heavier, so I'll ask Wang County Chief for more about the city defense and military pay."
"County Master thinks three times!" Before Zhang Fan finished speaking, the county magistrate Wang De was a sliding shovel. No, he slid his knees and fell to the ground with a thunderous sound. Sweat beads on his forehead instantly emerged and dripped on the blue bricks in the flower hall. "I will be in charge of some agriculture, sedimentary and civil affairs. According to the law, the county magistrate should be powerless to be the subordinate! "
Wang De turned his head and stared at Ren Cheng fiercely, "Ren County Magistrate! Are you going to escape in the last battle? If so, you should be punished strictly according to the law!"
Zhang Fan slapped the table, "Oh, when is it now? I'm still so shirking! If I really follow the law, I should have killed you two now!"
As soon as the intimidation was said, Zhang Fan immediately turned into a tactful tone, "Now the enemy is in front of you, we must cooperate sincerely! Be the county magistrate! You have the responsibility to defend the city, no matter what, you must defend the city! Wang County Magistrate, you have the position of logistics, no matter what, you have to pay money, food, and soldiers! You are right?"
Ren Cheng didn't say anything, but the county magistrate Wang was crying, "County Master, you don't know that the granaries in this county have long been empty! Where can I go to make money and food? If you don't believe me, I will call Lord Bo to come!"
After a while, the master came.
With large and small books, they piled them on wooden plates, like a hill.
The master picked up the top bamboo slip and presented it to the county magistrate Zhang Fan, "County Zun, this is the account of the county..."
Zhang Fan saw it and frowned, "What's going on? Not only do you have no money, but you still owe so much money?"
The master moved his eyebrows, "What are you preparing for spring farming? Repairing water conservancy... are all expenses that you need every year..."
"Bastard!" Ren Cheng couldn't help but point at the Lord Bo and cursed, "The thief army has arrived in front of him. The farmer of the fields outside the city has run away, and the fields are deserted. What else can be used for farming and water conservancy?!"
The Lord took a step back, "County lieutenant, you can't say that... It is precisely because the land is abandoned that it needs to allocate funds to repair the water conservancy of farmland. Even if you don't plant this year, you will still plant it next year. Food is the best way for the people! This is the right way in the world!"
"Just...just your mother's fuck!"
Ren Cheng couldn't help but curse.
『Hey, hey, it’s a shame, it’s a shame!』 Lord Bo waved his hand, 『You martial artist really don’t understand the truth!』
'Don't argue!' Zhang Fan threw the account away, 'Anyway, that's what it is now! The military affairs of the city guard! Your responsibility is the county magistrate! The civil affairs of the city, the county magistrate, your responsibility! Clearing money and grain is the main business! Now you are all busy with your own responsibilities! When you are in office, you should fulfill your responsibilities! Don't let down the emperor's grace and the wishes of the people! Do you understand?'
The three should be.
"Oh, my head..." Zhang Fan covered his head, "You all go and do it, I...oh, it's a headache, a headache..."
...
...
At the third hour of Xu, the county government office and the aroma of wine and meat filled the palace.
Not only was the county magistrate drunk, but the county magistrate was also drunk.
The Lord threw his official seal into the wine bowl and soaked in the wine bowl, as if this would make his wine taste more delicious.
The county magistrate drank so hard that his chest was exposed, revealing the miscellaneous hair on his chest.
The door of the inner courtyard is closed tightly.
The servants were busy, and the servants with swords and guns stood outside the door, strictly preventing idle people from entering.
In the back hall of the backyard, the lights swayed and the fragrance of wine filled the air.
『Continue to drink! Continue to dance!』
County Magistrate Zhang Fan pulled his hand out of Meiji's chest and shook it in the air. "I thought of a witty remark! You guys! Cough cough... I have wine today, and I am drunk today... Tomorrow... Uh, um, this... You say!"
Zhang Fan pointed at Wang County Magistrate.
Wang De laughed, "The county master has learned a lot, but it is hard to have a lot in the world! I am so ignorant of my talent, how can I take it? I will say nothing about you!"
The Lord is also laughing, "I have wine today and am drunk today! It's wonderful, wonderful! Such a wonderful sentence, it's a big white!"
The three of them looked at each other and suddenly laughed, their faces twisted and turned into crazy appearance.
After laughing for a while, County Magistrate Wang took out some blank documents from his sleeve and threw them on the wine table. He didn't care about the blank documents that had been stamped with Zhuo County seal, which were stained with vegetable juice and wine. "Hey, now everyone is so smart... I haven't sold many portions... Look, the three hundred acres in the east of the city, only 5,000 coins! Five thousand coins! No one wants this, tsk... The world is getting worse and worse, and people's hearts are not old!"
Zhang Fan waved his hand, "Whatever you can sell is counting as much as you can, anyway... what's important is the money we used to do!"
『Yes! Our money!』
『Ah hahaha!』
The three of them burst into laughter again.
"drink!"
『Drinking together!』
For the three of them, no matter how war or what the world is, they are better than the fine wine in front of them.
Zhuo County was also a transit station for transferring materials to Ji County, Youzhou, Yuyang and other places. Normally, there will be some temporary stockpiling of money and grain within the county town. After all, transportation and allocation of money and grain requires manpower and material resources, as well as corresponding time, and it is impossible to have it anytime and anywhere.
But for some reason, when Cao Chun retreated, the money and food in Zhuo County suddenly disappeared...
It's like these money and food have never appeared.
The man's red and black official robe was plastered under the table and wrinkled.
Zhang Fan tied the county magistrate's official ribbon with a smile on Meiji's neck with her bare chest, and then pulled it one by one, like pulling a dog, dancing in the back hall.
The county magistrate sat obliquely, grabbed the meat with one hand, chewed a few bites, then threw it down, looked at the blank white field frits that could not be sold, shook his head and sighed, then picked up two pieces casually, and wiped the oil on his hands.
The master still held the bowl of wine with the official seal and drank it sipped.
The county magistrate turned around and saw it. He laughed and threw his county magistrate's official seal into a wine jar beside him. Then he walked over with the wine jar, took out the official seal from the wine bowl of the magistrate, and threw it into the wine jar. He turned around and looked at the official seal on the county magistrate's table.
Zhang Fan laughed loudly, kicked away Mei Ji who was pulled away and stumbling, and then took the official seal and threw it into the wine jar in the county magistrate's hand.
The wine jar was raised high and then shaken.
The three of them stretched their heads and listened.
The wine and the official seal collided and shook, making a dull sound in the wine jar, which seemed to naturally form a wonderful music, making the three of them intoxicated.
『Come on!』
The wine from the jar was poured out and splashed on his hands and on his body.
Scattered documents, contracts, accounts are thrown in chaos on the ground.
Occasionally, under the illumination of candles, some bamboo slips and wooden tablets, the words "Taixing Ninth Year Military Payment" flashed by, and then they were submerged under the chaotic and crazy shadows of the three.
"What a wine!"
"It smells so good!"
"So beautiful!"
Suddenly, outside the backyard, a servant shouted loudly in panic, "No! A cavalry army appeared fifty miles outside the city!"
The hall was silent for a moment, and then even more crazy laughter broke out.
"What are you afraid of? Let's drink!" Zhang Fan laughed and said, "When the cavalry army arrives, we will surrender! Nowadays, as long as we have money, where will we spend it? What officials, people, and cities are all false, all fake! Only money is real! As long as we have money, there is wine and meat, there is everything! Hahahahaha!"
"Yes! Chang'an Qingyinshop, the whole world is all-in-one! So what if the cavalry army comes? Even if it is not here, you can still go to Chang'an to be a rich man! We will have a drink together then!"
Chapter completed!
