Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

He hurriedly said, "It's in the open space outside the silver vault."

Wei Dongzhu fell silent. There was no way he could make a mistake in such an obvious place.

There are only two possibilities. One is that the time on the document was written wrong, and the other is that Sun Qian remembered it wrong.

According to Sun Qian, it is more likely that the document was written incorrectly.

Shen Lanxi: "Are you sure the person you are handing over to is from the Ministry of Revenue?"

This question stunned both Sun Qian and Wei Dongzhu.

Who else could be outside the treasury if not someone from the Ministry of Revenue?

"Even if someone is impersonating me, they wouldn't be so bold, right?" As far as Wei Dongzhu knew, the silver vault was heavily guarded, and those soldiers took turns to change shifts day and night. When handing over the silver, those soldiers couldn't be just for show, right?

Shen Lanxi glanced at Wei Dongzhu, who immediately fell silent.

"You just need to answer me whether you are sure that person is from the Ministry of Revenue."

Seeing her cold tone, Sun Qian immediately said, "It's certain. They have the documents of the Ministry of Revenue in their hands and are wearing the official uniforms of the Ministry of Revenue. It's impossible for them to be fake!"

Shen Lanxi: "How can you be so sure? Do you know them?"

Sun Qian shook his head slowly: "I don't know him."

Shen Lanxi: "How long have you been escorting food and money? Don't you know anyone in the Ministry of Revenue?"

Sun Qian was stunned, and he immediately thought of something.

"I know some people in the Ministry of Revenue who are responsible for lending money, but I don't know them very well. At most, I know their faces. They were the people who handed over to us that night. I don't know any of them!"

Shen Lanxi wrote this down.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" She said coldly, with an oppressive tone.

Sun Qian felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly said in annoyance, "I always thought that the silver was lost on the road, and never thought that the silver might be stolen before the handover."

He was about to die unjustly, and it felt like their escort team was the scapegoat.

Shen Lanxi said with a warning tone, "Think about it carefully!"

Sun Qian did think about it, but he really couldn't remember anything.

Seeing that she could not get any more information out of him, Shen Lanxi said, "You are an important witness in the case of the theft of Wei's army's food and wages. In order to prevent you from getting hurt, you should stay in the Zhenbei Army. After we pacify the northwest, you can return to Beijing with us!"

Sun Qian nodded.

"In order to prevent you from being silenced, I will not report the news of your appearance to the court." Shen Lanxi continued.

Sun Qian understood Shen Lanxi's concerns and nodded quickly, saying: "Thank you, General, for protecting me!" Once the news of his life leaked out, he would become a wandering ghost at any time.

Wei Dongzhu: "I'll assign him to our left wing army!"

Shen Lanxi: "Okay!"

If we were to ask who in the world most wants Sun Qian to be safe and sound, besides her, it would be Wei Dongzhu.

After making arrangements with Sun Qian, Wei Dongzhu returned to Shen Lanxi.

"I assigned Sun Qian to the first team of Shida."

Shen Lanxi: "A person who can keenly sense that he is about to be silenced and avoid being silenced must have a backup plan. Don't look at him so closely. Look at who is behind him."

Wei Dongzhu's eyes flickered as he asked, "Could that Yan Huai be alive as well?"

Sun Qian and Yan Huai were grouped together and fell off the cliff together.

Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth: "Almost exactly!"

"I will go to the recruitment office tomorrow. You urge Zhou Ru'an to ask the court for food and fodder!"

Wei Dongzhu: "I have been urging you these past few days, but the court has not responded yet."

Shen Lanxi sneered: "Then go and borrow it. Zhou Ru'an is not a prince, so His Majesty has given him special privileges, right? Let him go and borrow it from the cities in the northwest!"

"The one who did something so offensive must be Zhou Ru'an!"

Wei Dongzhu's eyes turned cold as he thought of other cities in the northwest.

"Before, our Wei Army asked the cities in the northwest for food, but they made all kinds of excuses to refuse. If it weren't for our Wei Army guarding the last line of defense, they would have been harassed by foreigners long ago."

Shen Lanxi sneered: "That's because you, the Wei family army, are too loyal to the emperor and the country." To put it nicely, it's loyalty to the emperor and the country, to put it bluntly, it's inflexible.

"What's this? The king wants his subjects to die, the king has to die. That's all bullshit!" Shen Lanxi said with disdain.

"Fighting against foreign tribes is not just the job of our Zhenbei Army. Why should other cities just sit there and do nothing? It's too early for them to act on their own."

Wei Dong thought of those indifferent city defenders one by one, and his eyes began to gleam with coldness.

"I will go find the second prince now." He was unwilling to wait even a quarter of an hour.

……

Recruiting Office.

"In recent days, there are very few people joining the army. Sometimes I don't see anyone for two days!" Shen Conglian sighed.

After Shen Lanxi looked at the recruitment list for the past ten days, she closed the list.

In the past ten days, the number of people who have joined the army is less than two hundred. This is not a solution!

"Where is Military Advisor Che?" she asked Cheng Zheng beside her.

The latter wrote: "Right inside the city, resettle the relocated population!"

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Lanxi saw Che Mingyuan.

"I have moved the remaining population of several nearby villages to the city in the past few days. The next step is to resettle the people in the prison." The prisoners in the prison have to be carefully screened. Che Mingyuan is not at ease handing them over to other people and wants to keep an eye on them personally.

Shen Lanxi: "Post a message in the army. If you have family members who are willing to come and follow us, the army will provide travel expenses, housing, and livelihood arrangements."

Che Mingyuan: “…”

"This...costs too much money."

Shen Lanxi: "If you need money, go find Liu Yanhui."

Che Mingyuan: I forgot about the salt mine and those people who went there to dig for gold.

Shen Lanxi continued: "If unmarried people have someone they like, the army will give them money for marriage and give them a house."

"Unmarried, and both of you are in the military, and are willing to get married, the military will give you money, a house, and the child will be taken care of by someone in the military, and the child will be raised by the military until he is eight years old."

The more Che Mingyuan listened, the wider his eyes opened. Is it still possible to recruit soldiers in this way?

Shen Lanxi: "The relocated population will be given money, houses, and livelihoods according to their own conditions. You can arrange these!"

Che Mingyuan quickly snatched the paper and pen from Cheng Zheng's hand and wrote it down. There were many details, such as those who were moved from the prison and those who were exiled. These people could be given houses and livelihoods, but not money.

Cheng Zheng looked at his empty hands and reluctantly took out a set of paper and pen from his bag.

Why does Che Mingyuan always like to snatch his paper and pen!

After Che Mingyuan finished writing, he thought of another question.

“What if there aren’t enough houses in the city?”

Shen Lanxi: "If there's not enough space, then build a house. Otherwise, if so many people move here, will they all be left there idle?"

This again involves money and food.

Shen Lanxi knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

"Don't worry, Zhou Ru'an will be able to get money and food for us soon!"

Che Mingyuan turned to look at Ban Sicao. After the latter's explanation, Che Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh.

I only knew that their general was brave and proficient in military tactics, but I didn't expect that he also understood how to govern the country and keep it safe.
