After Wei Wenzhong and Huo Gu left, Yun Zheng ran to find Du Guiyuan and others.
The ten men were taken by Du Guiyuan to a small valley five miles outside the South Camp for training.
Martial arts are just one aspect.
What really requires special training is not martial arts.
Camouflage, lurking, assassination, and even survival skills in extreme conditions all require training.
According to Yun Zheng's request, these people have to turn into ghosts that are invisible to the enemy!
Ideally, these people would inflict heavy casualties on the enemy with every attack, while they themselves would be able to escape unscathed.
But this is only an ideal situation.
Reality cannot possibly go completely according to Yun Zheng’s ideals.
After correcting some problems in training, Yun Zheng left.
...
...
After returning to the mansion, Shen Luoyan couldn't wait to tell Ye Zi about Wei Wenzhong's conspiracy.
Shen Luoyan is now both happy and worried about this matter.
With more than 100,000 soldiers in the field, at least 20,000 capable soldiers should be picked out.
But the problem is, if so many people continue to eat in the same way as before, Yun Zheng will definitely be eaten to death!
But if he suddenly stopped eating like this, I'm afraid those people would start to criticize Yun Zheng in their hearts again.
They are now relying on money to win over the morale of the troops.
Without military morale, it would be difficult to dispatch more than 100,000 people!
Listening to Shen Luoyan's constant complaints, Ye Zi couldn't help but chuckle.
Yun Zheng also had a smile on his face, as if he was not worried at all.
Shen Luoyan and the others looked at the two of them in confusion. Is this funny?
This is a very realistic question, okay?
"So, you don't take care of the accounts when I ask you to!"
Ye Zi looked at Shen Luoyan with a smile on her face, "Do you know how much silver your husband brought?"
"It should be one million taels, right?"
Chen Luoyan frowned and said, "But even if it's one million taels, it's still too much to eat like this! There are more than 100,000 people! If they eat like this all day long, a mountain of gold will be eaten up, right?"
“Puff…”
Ye Zi laughed out loud again, "Silly girl, your husband has nearly six million taels of silver!"
Originally, they only brought more than five million taels of silver.
Later, Zhang Xu sold the soap formula and gave 700,000 taels to Yun Zheng.
In Zhang Xu's words, the recipe was all thanks to Yun Zheng.
He was getting a bargain by taking three hundred thousand taels.
Yun Zheng did not refuse, but just remembered Zhang Xu's kindness.
"How much...how much?"
Shen Luoyan's face was filled with shock, and she looked at Yun Zheng stupidly.
Six million taels of silver?
Did I hear it right?
Sister-in-law, are you sure you didn't say 600,000 instead of 6 million?
Miaoyin and Mingyue were also extremely shocked, their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
They all knew that Yun Zheng brought a lot of silver to Shuobei.
But they never expected that Yun Zheng would bring so much silver.
Six million taels?
Are you crazy?
Where did Yun Zheng get so much money?
He doesn't even hold any official position in the court!
Even if you want to embezzle money, there is no place to embezzle it, right?
"Do you think the coffin is filled with only silver?"
Ye Zi looked at Shen Luoyan with a smile, "Most of it is gold!"
Even if there are more than 100,000 people, it would only consume 400,000 taels of silver a month!
Six million taels of silver is enough to eat for a year!
Besides, there is Zhang Xu helping Yun Zheng make money!
"Where did you get so much silver?"
Shen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng stupidly.
"Of course I earned it!"
Yun Zheng laughed, "In addition, there are the things that my father gave me, including the gifts I received..."
"And you got it from others!"
Ye Zi smiled and said, "The money he got from Yun Li alone is enough to feed these people for a long time!"
"ah?"
Shen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng with shock on her face, "How much money did you cheat from Yun Li?"
No wonder Yun Zheng doesn’t feel distressed at all!
He actually has so much silver?
Yun Zheng stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "Probably about three hundred thousand taels!"
Only... three hundred thousand taels?
The women's faces twitched violently.
This bastard!
Still think there are too few pits, right?
"More than three hundred thousand taels!"
Ye Zibai glanced at Yun Zheng and said, "We already have 600,000 taels!"
"ah?"
Yun Zheng was confused, "Not so much?"
"When Yun Li hears what you said, he will be so angry that he will die!"
Ye Zi looked at Yun Zheng with a look of confusion, "Just a few days before leaving the Imperial City, you cheated him out of 300,000 taels of silver! And the money you cheated before, plus the gift he gave you on your wedding, it must be 600,000 taels..."
Ye Zi began to settle the details with Yun Zheng.
All the miscellaneous items added up, there are actually 600,000 taels of silver!
After listening to the detailed calculations made by Ye Zi, Shen Luoyan and the others could not help but look at each other in bewilderment.
This bastard is really good!
No wonder Yun Li holds such a deep grudge against him!
He emptied Yun Li’s family fortune!
It would be strange if Yun Li didn’t have deep resentment!
"He spent 600,000 taels of silver to buy the position of crown prince, so it's not a loss!"
Yun Zheng laughed, "Don't settle the score here. I'm not afraid of these Tian Bing eating, I'm just afraid that they won't have anything to eat!"
"What's the meaning?"
Shen Luoyan didn't understand.
Aren’t you afraid that they will eat, but are you afraid that they will have nothing to eat?
Isn't this contradictory?
"How much meat can there be in a city like Shuofang?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "There are more than 100,000 people here! Even if we have money, we can't get that much meat for one meal a day!"
With more than 100,000 people, the daily consumption will be extremely terrifying!
Even if each person eats two taels of meat a day, they would have to eat more than 20,000 kilograms of meat.
Even if you take into account the offal and other miscellaneous items, a sheep can only produce 50 kilograms of meat at most.
Eating four or five hundred sheep a day, how could that be possible?
“That’s true.”
Ye Zi nodded and said, "It is difficult to just meet the meat supply for the people in the northern and southern camps. Moreover, fine grains are definitely a huge problem."
If we really eat like this, even if we buy out all the meat in the cities surrounding Shuofang, it definitely won't be enough!
"It's definitely not okay to keep eating like this."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "We must cut back on food! The remaining silver will be given to them as rewards! But remember, it's a reward, not salary!"
Reward silver?
Several people were moved and immediately cheered.
“That’s a good idea!”
"It can not only reduce the supply of meat and fine grains, but also continue to win the hearts of the troops!"
"The soldiers in the camp would definitely prefer to eat less but get more pay."
Several people cast admiring glances at Yun Zheng.
This big problem was solved by him easily!
Moreover, what they gave out was reward money, not salary!
And it won’t give people any chance to criticize you!
"So, Wei Wenzhong is actually helping us?"
The problem was solved, and Shen Luoyan finally showed a bright smile on his face.
More than 100,000 people!
Even though most of the soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled, we can still pick out a lot of soldiers who can fight!
Besides, these old, weak, sick and disabled people are not useless!
These people are needed for logistics support and construction of various defense facilities!
"Um!"
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "I didn't expect Wei Wenzhong to give me such a big surprise!"
"Don't be too happy too soon!"
Ye Zi reminded him, "Don't forget, Wei Wenzhong will have to inspect again in two months! Whether he is satisfied or not, isn't it up to him, Wei Wenzhong, to decide with a word?"
Even if they got everything right, Wei Wenzhong could use his power as the commander of the Northern Army to transfer Yun Zheng to other places at any time.
The fear is that they spend a lot of money but end up making wedding dresses for others!
"rest assured!"
Yun Zheng smiled confidently, "Two months later, as long as I want, he won't be able to transfer the person even if I hand him over!"
