Xu Tianze twirled the fan in his hand and spoke casually, "Some people in this world give up everything for love; some are heartbroken for a few pieces of silver; and some spend their entire lives trying to prove themselves."
"Of course, there are also people who always place power and status at an important position in their hearts. Unfortunately, they will never understand that sometimes what they desire is exactly what others are avoiding."
After Xu Tianze finished speaking, he threw the fan to Long Musi. Seeing that Long Musi was a little flustered when he received it, a hint of sarcasm appeared in his eyes.
"When those spies come, call me and I will help you share your worries." After Xu Tianze said this, he no longer paid attention to Long Musi and concentrated on eating the delicious food.
"Okay, I'll call you then." Long Musi's face was a little gloomy, and he was also a little annoyed. He got up and left.
There was something hidden in Xu Tianze's words, and he naturally heard it clearly, but that was not what he cared about. What he cared about was that he had not been able to control his emotions and was discovered by Xu Tianze.
This is not a good thing for someone like him who never shows his emotions.
Xu Tianze originally thought that Long Muse would not come to see him again in the short term. After all, what he said was clear enough. Unexpectedly, he saw Long Muse standing in his yard the next day.
It was as if nothing had happened yesterday, which made Xu Tianze admire Long Musi's shamelessness.
"I thought I had made it clear enough yesterday, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated you." Xu Tianze looked at Long Musi sarcastically.
"I came here to find you today because I have something important to tell you." Long Musi coughed dryly a few times, then turned around and sat down at the stone table in the yard.
Xu Tianze saw Xichen standing in front of the stone table with breakfast for two on it, and he understood that Long Musi wanted to finish breakfast first before talking.
Xu Tianze naturally had no objection to this. He slowly walked to the stone table, ignoring Long Musi who was sitting opposite him, and just leisurely enjoyed his breakfast.
Long Musi shook his head and smiled. He waited until Xu Tianze finished eating before he told him the reason for coming here today: "Aze will help me after all, so I think it's time to tell Aze about the distribution of my forces."
"The weather is nice today, how about today?"
"Is the weather still good?" Xu Tianze looked at the overcast sky and rolled his eyes at Long Musi.
He really has a big mouth that can talk nonsense, and he can even turn black into white. Now he can tell that the autumn rain is coming soon, and the weather is still good.
However, Xu Tianze also knew that he would have to understand these things sooner or later. Otherwise, when he was making plans, if something went wrong, he would lose all his money.
So he finally agreed to Long Musi's proposal: "Let's go."
Long Musi originally thought that he would return home empty-handed today, but he didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events in the end. His voice suddenly became much louder: "Then let's go to the military camp in the suburbs first."
Jiangnan is very prosperous, and the north is also prosperous due to the north-south traffic. However, it is not as prosperous as Jiangnan itself, which is close to the sea and has richer resources.
As the master who secretly controls the economic lifeline of Jiangnan, Long Musi has long been extremely wealthy. Just looking at the top-notch restaurants and brothels under the Qi Tian Pavilion spread across the country, one can imagine how wealthy Long Musi is.
That's why Xu Tianze had great expectations for the private soldiers raised by Long Musi. Of course, private soldiers was just an old name, and now they have become an important part of Long Musi's uprising.
When Xu Tianze entered the military camp, although he was not disappointed, he obviously underestimated Long Muse's investment in the army.
The soldiers in this military camp are all wearing brand new armor and weapons from head to toe. The aroma of minced meat wafts from the camp from time to time. As soon as you enter the camp, you can feel the generosity of its owner.
Long Musi first took Xu Tianze to see the full granary, then took Xu Tianze to the soldiers' training ground, and then took Xu Tianze to the armory.
Finally, he took Xu Tianze into the command tent. However, the interior of the command tent was brand new from top to bottom, and even a cup revealed its considerable value.
"Aze, how is it? My military camp is pretty good, right?" Long Musi was quite proud. He could be considered to have a strong army.
Xu Tianze, who had been frowning all the way, didn't buy it and sat directly on the table in front of Long Musi.
"I was wondering what the condition of your soldiers was like when King Chang deployed his troops outside Zhoushan City?" Xu Tianze curled his lips in disdain, accurately finding Long Musi's pain point.
Long Muse's eyes originally lit up when Xu Tianze sat down at the table in front of him, thinking that his Aze was finally willing to get closer to him.
But when he heard Xu Tianze's words, Long Musi's face instantly turned gloomy.
Although he finally helped Xiaoliu retreat unscathed thanks to the princess of the enemy country, he did not forget how miserable the condition of the soldiers in his barracks was at that time.
When Xu Tianze saw Long Musi's gloomy face, he knew that his guess was correct. If he had not known about this in advance, he would have thought that this was some young master from a noble family who came here for a visit.
The military camp had lax discipline, and they ate a lot of meat and fish every day. Even during training, the soldiers were weak and had no energy. Despite this, Long Musi actually gave them a stipend of one or two taels of silver.
This is really a case of having money but nowhere to spend it. Supporting such a group of old men, when the time comes for a real fight, it would be good if they don't just throw in the towel.
"Long Musi, I remember that the teacher of the Imperial College once taught you the basic common sense in the military camp. You must have listened to it, right?" Xu Tianze started to mock Long Musi directly.
You have to know that Long Musi seemed to be unpopular at first, but the teachers in the Imperial College liked him very much because he took every class very seriously.
"Aze, you'd better stop making fun of me." Long Musi smiled awkwardly. He also knew what Xu Tianze was hinting at.
Could he say that he was just pretending at the beginning? Besides, he had always been a civil servant and in the end he was only working in the capital. How could he care about the affairs of the military camp?
After all, there are no large military camps in the capital city, and even if there are, they are firmly controlled by Emperor Gan. The troops of those generals who hold military power are all stationed at the border.
"It's better for me to tease you now than for you to die and be laughed at by others." Xu Tianze rolled his eyes, showing no mercy. "The army does need good equipment and food, but pride comes before a fall. And the pride here doesn't just refer to pride."
"If you really want a real army, it's best to reform it before the war breaks out. Otherwise, when the war finally starts, you'll be completely defeated."
