Killing System, the Ultimate Killer

Chapter 63 Borrowing Money



In the military camp, a well-connected school captain came, and word spread quickly.

Guo Xiaoping, Hu Bing, Wang Wu and others are more sensitive, and everyone is wary of Xiao Chuyi.

Xiao Chuyi was too lazy to care. She was not here to monitor Sheng Huaian, nor was she from Xuan Yiwei.

She just read Sheng Huaian's poems, and on a whim, she came to the Northwest Frontier Army to experience the military life in the frontier fortress. She wanted to see if the legendary Sheng Huaian was as good at both civil and military affairs as the rumors said.

Sheng Huaian was busy training the army to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Most of his soldiers were newly recruited and their combat effectiveness was not strong. If he wanted to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, he could only continuously train the cooperation between the soldiers.

At the same time, he led the soldiers to practice Mang Niu Jin and become martial arts disciples as soon as possible.

A few days later, Xiao Chuyi found Magistrate Chen and asked Magistrate Chen to recruit two thousand soldiers for her.

After hearing this, Sheng Huaian couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, the relevant households are the relevant households. It is good to have a background and backing. It is easy to recruit two thousand troops.

After recruiting the army, Xiao Chuyi also began to train the army, as if he wanted to compete with Sheng Huaian.

Sheng Huaian saw it and was too lazy to care. He was very busy and had no time to pay attention to Xiao Batian.

Just don't cause trouble and don't bother him.

"General, the soldiers are so hungry that we are almost out of money and food." Guo Xiaoping and Sheng Huaian said that day.

Nine thousand people, five thousand horses, people eating Ma Jue, the food consumed is huge, but Sheng Huaian did not restrict it and ate freely.

The military pay and rations allocated by the imperial court were completely unbearable.

In order to allow the recruits to become martial arts disciples as soon as possible, Sheng Huaian also made the soldiers eat meat, which was very expensive.

"Run out of money and food?" Sheng Huaian was training troops every day and really didn't pay attention.

Guo Xiaoping couldn't help complaining in his heart, "General, you are really big-hearted, and you don't care about this?"

This is a big problem. Without food and grass, military training will be problematic.

Sheng Huaian pondered, what could be the quickest way to make money?

The quickest way to get money is to rob, but now the road is blocked by heavy snow outside the pass, and if I want to go to the grassland to find Rong Di, the Xiongnu will not be able to fight against the autumn wind.

"Go and call Wang Wu!" Sheng Huaian said.

"Yes, General."

Guo Xiaoping quickly went to call Wang Wu over.

"General, you are looking for me."

In the military camp, the five kings were all called General Sheng Huaian, and they only called them brothers in private.

"I have something for you to do." Sheng Huaian said.

Wang Wu is very experienced in inquiring about information and serving as a scout.

"Whatever happens, just ask." Wang Wu looked at Sheng Huaian seriously.

"I want you to go collect and find out where there are any big bandits within a few hundred miles." Sheng Huaian said.

Unable to capture the Xiongnu and Rongdi, Sheng Huaian turned his attention to the pass.

The Wei Dynasty had a vast land and abundant resources, and it was impossible to manage everything and ensure peace in the world. This was unrealistic.

Especially in this ancient world, there are bound to be bandits.

"Collecting information about big bandits?" Wang Wu knew clearly, was he trying to train troops?

"Okay, I'll go right away and wait for the good news."

Wang Wu took ten of the scouts he had trained and quietly left Hexi County.

Sheng Huaian touched his chin. Suppressing bandits to steal money and food was always a by-pass, and it could only be temporary. If he wanted to make more money, he had to find a way to make money quickly.

"What should we do?" Sheng Huaian thought about ways to make quick and big money.

"Soap, wine, mirror, salt."

"Salt is not good. This thing is prohibited by the imperial court. If you are found, you will be beheaded. I don't have the strength to collide with the Wei imperial court now."

"How about opening a restaurant selling wine and roasted chicken!"

Sheng Huaian thought about his business experience. Brewing wine is indeed profitable, but it is not realistic at the moment. He is running out of money and cannot buy too much grain to make wine.

"How to make soap? Let me think about it. This thing seems to be quite simple."

"What are you thinking about? Go to Magistrate Chen to borrow money. Based on our friendship, we can borrow tens of thousands of taels of silver. It's not a big deal."

As soon as he left, Sheng Huaian left the military camp and headed towards the county magistrate's office.

"Ah sneeze!"

As soon as County Magistrate Chen finished handling government affairs and returned to the house to sit down and rest, he sneezed.

"What's the matter? I haven't caught a cold yet!" County Magistrate Chen tightened his coat.

The weather in this northwest land is terrible and unbearably cold.

"It's such a cold day, it would be nice if more Rongdi and Huns died in the cold." Magistrate Chen was very worried about the country and the people.

The servants at home prepared the food, and County Magistrate Chen was preparing to eat.

"Sir, General Sheng is here to visit!" the old servant came to report.

"General Sheng is here, welcome him in quickly," County Magistrate Chen said.

"No, I'm already in."

Sheng Huaian walked in and saw the food on the table, including wine and meat.

"Hey, you had a good meal!"

"General Sheng, sit down quickly and let's eat together." County Magistrate Chen greeted.

Sheng Huaian was not polite. He sat down and said to the old servant next to him: "Steward Chen, bring me a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"Wait a moment, sir!" The old servant of the housekeeper went to bring Sheng Huaian the dishes and chopsticks.

"Come, General Sheng, have a drink with me." County Magistrate Chen poured wine for Sheng Huaian.

"Thanks."

Sheng Huaian picked up the wine bowl, took a sip of wine, and started eating the food as if he were at his own home, not like a guest at all.

"Why did you think of coming to see Chen today? The general has been training troops all day!" Magistrate Chen said looking at Sheng Huaian who was devouring his food.

"Coming to see the county magistrate, there must be something going on." Sheng Huaian didn't hide it.

"Tell me, it's rare for Mr. General to find Chen." The conversation between the two was like a stranger to acquaintances.

"Then where is Xiao Batian?" Sheng Huaian asked.

"Xiao Batian?"

County Magistrate Chen was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses.

This young lady really knows how to play.

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Magistrate Chen shook his head like a rattle.

"I can't even say it?"

"You tell me quietly, I won't tell anyone else." Sheng Huaian said softly.

County Magistrate Chen looked at Sheng Huaian: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

"A bit!" Sheng Huaian nodded.

"I......."

"That's why you came here? If that's the case, you can go back after dinner. I'm going to Yanliu Tower." County Magistrate Chen said angrily.

"No, there are other things. Even if you go to Yanliu Tower, Fairy Qin Yao will not see you."

"Speak up quickly, it's not certain whether you can help or not."

"Lend me some money."

"How many?"

"One hundred thousand taels of silver."

"Get out, get out, don't come to my house." County Magistrate Chen was shaking with anger.

One hundred thousand taels of silver could not be collected even by selling him.

"No, don't be anxious, why are you so anxious?" Sheng Huaian quickly comforted him.

"One hundred thousand taels, I am just corrupt. Three to five years is not enough. You really dare to speak." County Magistrate Chen said angrily.

"Didn't you say that after three years of clearing the magistrate's office, you can get one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver? It's been three years since you took office, county magistrate, right? You can't even get out one hundred thousand taels of silver?" Sheng Huaian looked at County Magistrate Chen suspiciously.

"Sheng Huaian, we are no longer friends, get out of here, get out of here." County Magistrate Chen was so angry that he wanted to curse.

He was an upright official, but what happened to him when he was treated like a dog like Sheng Huaian?

"Don't be so angry. Why are you so impatient?" Sheng Huai'an drank and ate meat leisurely.

"How can you insult someone's innocence like this?" County Magistrate Chen was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

"Hey, I really have no choice, so I came to see you, Lord County Magistrate. Thousands of people are waiting for food and have no money to eat." Sheng Huaian began to cry about poverty.

"The money and food distributed by the imperial court for one season are gone so quickly. Could it be that you are embezzling?" County Magistrate Chen looked at Sheng Huaian.

"You are not a master. You don't know that oil and rice are expensive. That's nine thousand people and five thousand horses." Sheng Huaian said angrily.

"By the way, the two thousand people Xiao Tianba recruited were given to him by you, so you should be responsible."

County Magistrate Chen looked at Sheng Huaian, was this guy a scoundrel in his previous life?

That's none of his business, it's not his subordinates.

"I am in charge of a county with a population of more than ten or two hundred thousand. Oil and rice are expensive, but I am better off than you." County Magistrate Chen said angrily.

"If one hundred thousand is not enough, then fifty thousand!" Sheng Huaian began to bargain.

"No, it's a dead life, take it if you want it."

"Thirty thousand, thirty thousand can't be less."

County Magistrate Chen was busy drinking and did not want to pay attention to Sheng Huaian.
