Nowadays, not to mention that there is no money in the palace, even the banks in Chang'an City have been looted. Although Li Fei suffered a defeat and had to join the Mongolian army, she left with a lot of money.
Not only did they take away the wealth of the palace and Chang'an, but not even a drop of oil or water was left in the eight cities surrounding Chang'an.
Although Xu Wanjun cannot be blamed for this incident, in the final analysis, it was due to his dereliction of duty.
Xiao Zimu could only pretend to punish him to make up the money and forget about it, but in the end he also relaxed the time limit and did not specify the date when he was ordered to repay the money.
The number of officials in the court decreased by one-third, but those who remained after this incident were all courtiers who were loyal to the emperor, patriotic and conscientious.
Turning a blind eye to Xiao Zimu's punishment, no one jumped out to add insult to injury at this time. Instead, they tried their best to send as much money as they could from their own residence to the Xu Mansion.
Although Xiao Zimu was open-minded, Xu Wenlan was still worried.
He went from being a young man from an aristocratic family who had no worries about food and clothing to finally experiencing what it was like to stump a hero with a penny.
Xu Wanjun suffered a big blow this time and was a little helpless. He always felt that he was the sinner of the Xiao Kingdom.
This battle was not lost. If it was because of him that the Zhao army fought without food, he would be responsible for the death.
Today, there are only three places in Chang'an that are still intact and have not been looted.
Prince Mo's Mansion, Xiahou Mansion and Mingxiang Garden.
After hearing the news, Bingwen already held the token of the Hou Mansion. He spent all the cash in his hand and the cash of the Hou Mansion, and sent it to Zhao Jiajun to hold one first.
Originally these two sums were indeed quite large, but if they were used for marching and fighting, they would not be sustainable for a long time.
After Han Hong heard the news, he wrote to Xiao Mubai and took out part of the money in the palace to support the people of Chang'an. The rest could only be used to support the expenses of King Mo's army.
The imperial court is now short of money, food, and weapons. It is seeing that the Mongolian army and the Shi's army are about to merge into a 660,000-strong army.
This number, just listening to it, makes one’s heart palpitate...
While Bingwen comforted Xu Wenlan, he sent an urgent letter to Xia Chu.
He didn't expect Xia Chu to come up with any solution. After all, he didn't know how much money Xia Chu had.
Now that he has sent them to Zhao Jiajun, Xia Chu doesn't have any better solution.
Bingwen just wrote to him to tell him about the crisis in Beijing, and told him that the military salary of Gu Jiajun... was probably going to be cut off, so Gu Weiyi could only find a solution on his own.
This battle can no longer be delayed...
After the letter sent by Bingwen was conveyed to Gu Weiyi through Xia Chu, Gu Weiyi was furious on the spot.
Let him think of a way
What can he think of
The Hou Mansion can still spend money to send to the front line of Zhao's army, and King Mo's army also has the prince Xiao Mubai to support the military pay.
He was a general instructor who grew up in the Zhao family's military camp. He was forced to take over the military power of the Gu family when he was in danger. How could he have the money to support so many mouths
Even if Prince Hui had some wealth in the capital, it had already been robbed by Concubine Li.
Don't say he didn't have it, even if he had it, there was no way he could go to Princess Hui and ask for it with a shameless face.
At the moment, even if Gu Xingyun is unconscious, he dare not tell Princess Hui.
Gu Weiyi had a headache and inserted his hands into his bun, wishing that the hair he had cut out could be used as money.
Xia Chu sat on the city wall with his legs dangling. He couldn't stand the way he kept scratching his head and said, "Stop pooping. You should be bald now. I can cure everything, but I can't make you grow hairy again." .”
Gu Weiyi watched him swinging his legs leisurely, and a red figure beside him followed his example and swung his hind legs.
This person really doesn't know the sufferings of the world. Gu Weiyi stared at Dotian, and then thought that such a thing would have to eat meat every time. He couldn't help but look miserable. He covered his chest with one hand and pointed at Xia Chu: "You... you are letting this slut go. As for the swing, you should think of something."
As soon as he finished saying this, he regretted that his tone was a bit too harsh and he should not have been so unreasonably angry towards Xia Chu.
In these days, thanks to Xia Chu, we were able to capture six cities in a row and approach the city.
Besides, the Hou Mansion has already taken out all the money, and has not hidden it away. Xia Chu's own money has been posted by Bingwen. At this time, he really shouldn't yell at him and let him think of a solution.
Just when Gu Weiyi was feeling guilty and remorseful, Xia Chu jumped off the city wall easily, and then Dot and Dian jumped onto his shoulders. One person and one fox walked up to Gu Weiyi.
Gu Weiyi looked down at Xia Chu's boots and was too embarrassed to look up, so he lowered his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I..."
"I've thought about it."
Gu Weiyi's apology was very embarrassing at first. After all, even at his age, he was still looking down upon a child. But before he finished speaking, he heard those four words Xia Chu said and was shocked. When I raised my head, I was afraid that I would misunderstand what he meant, so I asked again: "What did you say?"
Xia Chu Yingying smiled and said: "Break camp and set off."
Gu Weiyi said "Oh", thinking that he had already thought about attacking the city.
After Xia Chu passed by him, she suddenly looked back, and the smile on her face became brighter: "I will solve the silver issue."
The branches were undulating in the wind, and the buds had begun to sprout in the spring weather. Looking at his lonely back, Gu Weiyi suddenly felt his eyes were a little dry.
If Lan Sheng had followed him, the son he would have given birth to would have been as outstanding as the boy in front of him.
But at this moment, Bian Ding, who was hiding aside, was staggered by Xia Chu's words.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that the young master was still just a young man after all. I didn't know that the military supplies and silver consumed by this march and war were not something that a prince's mansion could afford.
At the moment, he still doesn't know that all the money in the Hou Mansion has been wiped out by Bingwen.
Xia Chu's idea was not the Hou Mansion's idea at all, and naturally it was not Ming Xiangyuan's idea.
Mingxiangyuan used to be a money-spinner that made a lot of money every day, but now everyone in the capital is short of money, and no one has the spare money to squander it in Mingxiangyuan.
Bingwen began to think about whether to convert 20% of Anfeng Emperor's escort profits into cash at one time. After holding on for a while, he received a reply from Xia Chu.
When Bian Hao handed the letter to him, he still sighed and opened it. It didn't take much to think about it, but Gu Jiajun in the west must have jumped in a hurry.
Both King Mo's army and Zhao's army can hold on for the time being, but once the military pay of Gu's army stops, will they still have to rely on the unconscious Gu Xingyun to support them
Bingwen shook his head and read the letter rather helplessly.
There were only two words in the letter, but it made him feel stupid and stunned for a long time.
When Xu Wenlan saw that he was completely silent after opening the letter, her heart sank and she asked in a panic: "Could there be anything worse?"
Bingwen raised his eyes and looked at him, without saying a word, he just handed him the letter in his hand.
There are only two words on it: There is me.
