Chapter 61

"Actually, I came to you this time because I want to talk to you about something."

Huo Lingyun nodded, waiting for her next words.

"Actually, I'm here this time to give you money."

Huo Lingyun thought he heard it wrong, and repeated: "Send money?"

"Ah."

"Why?"

"Ahem." Wang Xue coughed twice, and said, "Actually, you know, I won against Chen Ruhai and got a lot of treasures. I thought it would be useless to keep them anyway, so I picked a few good ones and kept them." , sold all the rest, and then sold more than 20 taels of silver in total. I plan to use half of the more than 20 taels of silver to help the people in the slums, and the other half to use for our brothers in the military camp .”

"For example, buy better weapons, change all the equipment on your body, and I heard that if the horses in the army can eat the best forage, they will perform better when they fight. Anyway, I I don’t really understand, I just want to take this money out for you to use, as for how to use it and what to do with it, it’s up to you.”

After listening to what Wang Xue said, Huo Lingyun didn't answer right away, but asked, "Are you sure you have decided to take out 100,000 taels of silver to supply the army's needs?"

"Of course I'm sure, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you."

Huo Lingyun fell silent.

Wang Xue knew that he was not a man who was good at words, so she didn't rush him, but took a sip of tea from the teacup, and almost didn't spit it out.

This is also called tea?

Why does it seem to be drinking water soaked in leaves?

The taste is indescribably strange.

"Then I won't be polite to you. I will accept the 100,000 taels for the brothers in the barracks."

Because they really need a new batch of equipment.

The armor and weapons of many soldiers are worn to varying degrees. Over time, the lifespan of these things will only become shorter and shorter.

Once on the battlefield, it is very likely that the weapon in hand will be broken and the armor on the body will be broken at the critical moment, and you will lose your life.

And if you have the 100,000 taels of silver.

Not only can the brothers in the military camp be replaced with a batch of brand new equipment, but as Wang Xue said, their mounts can also be equipped with better saddles and fodder. For them, it is definitely the best help.

But when it comes to this, I have to mention why the army is so 'lack of money'.

According to Liang Guo's regulations.

The equipment and materials of the army are changed every five to ten years.

Among them, weapons are extremely consumables, so after several major battles, they may be replaced every three years.

Although there have been no major battles on the border in recent years.

But small-scale battles also occur from time to time.

Therefore, Huo Lingyun and the others' weapons were worn out very quickly.

But according to the regulations, it will take at least three years before they have a chance to get money from the emperor to exchange for a new batch of weapons and equipment.

But the battlefield is a place of life and death.

No one knows when they will die.

Only by ensuring that the equipment is constantly replaced and new can it be possible to increase more winning rates.

But the national regulations are like this, and they can't do anything about it.

But now with Wang Xue's 100,000 taels of silver, it's different.

At least for them, that is an extra life-saving money.

"You're welcome, mother's money is father's money, mother's money is for father's use, isn't this a normal thing." The guy still eats very well.

Wang Xue blushed, and Huo Lingyun turned his head unnaturally.

In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Wang Xue hurriedly beckoned to Qing'er.

Qing'er immediately took out a stack of thick bank notes from her bosom and handed them to Wang Xue.

Without any hesitation, Wang Xue handed over the thick banknote to Huo Lingyun.

"There is a total of 130,000 taels of silver here, and I will leave it to you."

Huo Lingyun stretched out both hands to take the bank note, and looked at Wang Xue with a complicated expression, "I thank you for the money again on behalf of the brothers, it is very important to us, so I will."

"Oh, stop moaning, it's not like you anymore." Wang Xue waved her hands hastily, prohibiting sensationalism.

Huo Lingyun also felt that she was a bit of a mother-in-law.

So he put away his complicated expression, regained his composure, thought for a while, and shouted to the outside of the account: "Liu Xi, come in."

Soon, Liu Xi lifted the curtain and walked in.

"General, what are your orders!"

Huo Lingyun put the wad of silver bills on the table, and said to Liu Xi: "Here is 130,000 taels of silver. According to the old rules, you first take 3000 taels of silver as a deposit, and ask someone to go to Wanhe Village quickly, and call the people there The master blacksmith will start working immediately to forge armor and weapons. You know the exact quantity, and it must be completed within three months. When the time comes, the specific amount will be sent together.”

Because the equipment is not specially customized by the country, they can only find someone to make weapons by themselves.

Of course, this is not the first time this has happened.

In the past, when they had money, they would find someone to make weapons and armor by themselves.

The Wanhe Village that Huo Lingyun mentioned is a place where weapons and armors are specially made.

There are more than [-] households in a village there, and almost every family has a blacksmith shop.

And this is how their village lives.

As the saying goes, if you don't open for three years, you can eat for three years when you open, that's what they are talking about.

But after hearing Huo Lingyun's words, Liu Xi seemed to have been acupunctured, standing there stupidly, staring straight at the thick bank note on the table, and swallowed after a long while Spit, and said with some difficulty: "General. This money"

Seeing his unpromising appearance, Huo Lingyun snorted coldly and said: "It's a shame, this is the money that the Princess gave us brothers to buy armor and weapons, as well as saddles and fodder for war horses. Don't be dazed, come here and get it." Money finds someone to do things!"

"Oh! Yes! Yes! I'm going right away!" Liu Xi came back to his senses, hurried forward, and took three 1000 taels from the pile of bank notes.

Then he hastily bowed deeply to Wang Xue, gratefully saying: "Thank you Princess!"

"Okay, let's get busy."

After Liu Xi left the big tent, Huo Lingyun shook his head helplessly. In fact, he was not to blame for his behavior.

The fact is that they really need the money.

It can be said that Wang Xue's money is a timely gift.

"Princess, I."

"Stop! Don't say thank me again, and you always call me the princess, it seems that we are very strange, you know? People also have names, okay?"

Huo Lingyun choked on Wang Xue's words.

He's just a rough guy, he doesn't know anything about the love between a man and a woman before.

He couldn't beat romance or something, so he was silent for a long time, just when Wang Xue was about to say forget it.

He said awkwardly: "Xue'er, no matter what, I still want to thank you. For us, your money can be regarded as a solution to our urgent need."

Wang Xue blushed, he really called her name.

This silly big guy, tall and handsome, why does he feel so silly in terms of emotions?
