"Sir, the King of Han is here." Sun Yu was teaching a group of teenagers to practice swordsmanship when Sun Sandao ran over and shouted.

"I'll go and greet you myself." He was looking forward to the stars and the moon, but finally it came. Sun Yu wiped his face and walked towards the door.

"I didn't know that King Han was here, so I missed my welcome. Please forgive me!" King Han was still so elegant and suave, standing outside the door waving his folding fan. Sun Yu hurriedly apologized.

"What are you..." King Han looked at Sun Yu's clothes and was quite surprised. The clothes were strangely tight. However, they looked very close to the body, so he was quite energetic.

"The King of Han is laughing. I have nothing to do. I am just practicing boxing and kicking in the mansion. This is a samurai uniform specially made by me from a tailor to make it easier for me to use my boxing. I came in a hurry and have no time to change it." Sun Yu said openly.

He punched and showed off the samurai uniform he was wearing. It was actually an imitation of the camouflage uniform of later generations, but it was not colored.

"It's strange. I never thought you would have such an idea. Why? Just let me stand at the door?" King Han was quite close to the person he recommended, so he didn't mind making a joke.

"I'm sorry for my ignorance of etiquette. King Han, please come in!" Sun Yu led the way sideways and led King Han towards the house.

"This time, the palace officials were supposed to be here. I had nothing to do, so I accepted this errand. Good news or bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" King Han took a sip of tea and looked at Sun.

Yu.

"Then let's hear the good news first." This King of Han is really free, and this kind of thing must be appetizing, Sun Yu thought inwardly.

"The good news is that the imperial court will appoint you as the governor of Jianzhou and the defense envoy. The subordinate officials will make the appointment on their own and report it to the Ministry of Personnel for record." In fact, this appointment has exceeded the expectations of the King of Han. Isn't this the governor and defense envoy?

He is a smaller version of Jiedushi, and the military and government can catch him. But speaking of Jianzhou, no one wants to go there, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness." Sun Yu stood up and made a solemn salute towards the palace.

"I wonder what the bad news is?" Sun Yu should have been overjoyed, but there was bad news later, so he couldn't be happy.

"Well, the Ministry of War allows you to recruit three thousand soldiers, but you have to recruit them yourself. Ordnance can be obtained from the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Household Affairs has allocated 50,000 taels of silver, plus a batch of cloth." King Han thought this was a bit of a trick, but now the court is really

There was a shortage of money everywhere, and the ready supply of troops were concentrated along the river, and no one dared to move.

"Recruiting troops is a bit troublesome, but three thousand people are not enough. The most important thing is that the Ministry of Household Affairs has fifty thousand taels a year. Isn't it too little?" Sun Yu's forehead hurts a little. There are tens of thousands of Jianzhou bandits, so he can count on himself.

With 3,000 new recruits, are they suppressing the bandits or are they being suppressed? The rhythm is that they will die before they leave the army.

"You're overthinking. The total is only fifty thousand taels, and it's still fifty thousand a year. Isn't that all good news?" King Han was a little funny. This man still hasn't figured out the situation. It's really fifty thousand taels a year. Those

A Forbidden Army general is not allowed to cause trouble, and this treatment is almost catching up with them.

"What? There are only fifty thousand taels or three thousand people in total. King Han, are you sure?" Sun Yu didn't care about etiquette. This is too little. It can only be used for half a year at most. How will he support these people after half a year?

"Well, the emperor has made an agreement with the Ministry of Household Affairs to exempt you from taxes for three years." King Han was a little embarrassed. In Jianzhou, people only invest money and never receive taxes. This is a bit unkind.

"This, this..." Sun Yu is a bit big-headed and wants to work with others to become an official.

I'm here to make money. Even if I put all my family property into it, it probably won't be enough. I'm going to be bluer than the sky.

"Stop doing this and that. Having said that, if you are given such great authority, and the soldiers have enough money and food, how can it be your turn to do this to a fledgling boy? Do you know that there was a big quarrel in the court, and in the end the country

The main force rejected all opinions and said that only a young boy like you can avoid the fear of the two parties. Misfortune lies on the back of good fortune, and good fortune lies on misfortune. Young man, I am optimistic about you!" King Han looked at the tangled look on his face.

Sun Yu shook his folding fan and joked. Everyone wants to achieve a career, but career is not that easy to do. He only took the position of the leader of the country after his brother, so this year has been better.

"That's true, but three thousand people are not enough. There are over ten thousand gangsters in Jianzhou." Since there is no other way, we can only accept our fate and invest the assets of the Duke's government to raise three thousand soldiers. It is estimated that it can last for a year and a half.

If Jianzhou's predicament can be completely solved within a year, it will be affordable. The key problem is that three thousand people are not enough. No matter what, five thousand are needed.

"The quota given by the Ministry of War is for combat soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers are not included in this. It is just the equipment for the auxiliary soldiers. You have to think of it yourself. Don't blame me for not reminding you. The ordnance given by the Ministry of War is eliminated by the Forbidden Army. It can be enough

Well, you are giving me face." Although I am the King of Han, I can't do anything about this matter. The best things are given to the Forbidden Army and the garrison along the river. It would be good if the other ministries can get them together. If not

If I go out and greet the Ministry of War myself, I'm afraid I can get half of it.

"Thank you, King Han. I wonder if King Han can lend Xiaguan some silver. Xiaguan is willing to use Jianzhou taxes as collateral. The interest is easy to talk about." Sun Yu was thinking about money, and suddenly remembered that the person opposite was a big businessman, so he immediately signed up.

idea.

"I do have a bank, but it's just a matter of Jianzhou's tax. If I use your property of the Duke of Lu as a mortgage, I will only charge you one penny of profit." It's a joke, I really think that this king is stupid and has too much money! This Jianzhou's tax

It’s too unreliable. This guy even has his own ideas. However, the Zhuangzi, the shops, and this house in the Duke of Lu’s mansion are all high-quality assets. A penny profit is definitely a conscientious price. Who calls him himself?

Highly recommended.

"Thank you, King Han. You're welcome to lower your rank. I'll borrow a hundred thousand taels first." Jianzhou Taxation was originally meant as a joke, but borrowing money is real.

"So much?" King Han was surprised, why does this kid want so much money?

Sun Yu smiled bitterly. This money is not just used to support the army. There are so many people in Jianzhou who don't have enough to eat. If he doesn't spend some money, how can he win over the people? Without food, the gangsters will be suppressed more and more. The only way is to

Only when they are full can the people of Jianzhou be willing to settle down and live a peaceful life.

After hearing Sun Yu's explanation, King Han was somewhat impressed. This boy was not very old, but he knew a lot. Since ancient times, those who succeeded in suppressing bandits mostly suppressed and appeased them at the same time. If they really killed all the way and wiped out the bandits, this would be a great success.

Jianzhou was also ruined.

After the two of them discussed it, Uncle Quan went to the bank to go through the formalities tomorrow. Sun Yu took the letter of appointment and took it to the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow to get the official seal. He would be a serious official, and he was no longer in vain.

"King Han, you might as well stay in the humble residence for dinner today." Sun Yu invited him. Thanks to King Han's efforts, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy. Although Jianzhou is not a good place, it is because he is not willing to go.

That’s all.

"No, I'd better go to Wenxiang Pavilion to eat. There's a new cook here, so I have to try his skills. By the way! Your family members can stay in Jiangning with peace of mind. I will take care of them, including the Qing Gang." King Han said and shook his head.

with folding fan

He walked out struttingly.

"Farewell to King Han!" Sun Yu walked all the way to the door and saluted respectfully, but his heart felt like a basin of ice water was poured from his head to the soles of his feet. Why did King Han also know about the Qing Gang's affairs? He thought he was doing it secretly, but he didn't expect it to be long ago.

After being seen through, I wonder if the night attack on the Wolf Gang has also been exposed. It seems that I have to be more careful. I originally thought of going to the Taifu's house to see Zhou Wei in a few days, but now

No matter what, he can't go. Every move he makes will fall in the eyes of interested people, let alone Zhou Wei, who is the one favored by the king.

"Congratulations, young master." When the King of Han left, Uncle Quan was smiling from ear to ear. He was the governor of Yizhou, and he was officially promoted to the fourth rank. I also spent more than ten years in the officialdom before reaching the fourth rank. Although officials in the capital were more noble,

A little bit, but it’s quite remarkable.

"Don't be in a hurry to congratulate me. All the property of our Duke's palace has to go into it." Sun Yu glanced at Uncle Quan who was happy. He didn't know that this official not only didn't make any money, but also had to pay for it.

"What? This magistrate has a good job. The master is there, and whenever the magistrate comes to visit, it is very grand." Uncle Quan misses those days very much. He was just a housekeeper, and his income was quite good.

"Uncle Quan, it's not easy to be an official. If you don't put all your property into it, I'm afraid the Duke's palace will be cut off. But if we run the business well, we won't have to look at other people's faces in the future..." Sun Yu said calmly

Immediately inform Uncle Quan of everything.

"Hey, what is this?" Uncle Quan looked confused. This would not only empty out the Duke's mansion, but also mortgage his property to borrow money. If he didn't pay it back later, the Duke's mansion would be gone.

"Uncle Quan, I don't want to let my child catch a wolf. Think about it, I have thousands of tigers and wolves accompanying me, how does it compare to my father?" Money has no use. If it weren't for the fear that others would think he was rebellious, Sun Yu would be the first to come back.

The first thing is to build an army. Although it costs a lot of money, at least you can recruit troops legitimately.

"That's certainly a lot of prestige, but this family fortune was accumulated bit by bit by me back then." It was not easy for me to buy these properties back then.

"So, we can't live up to the family fortune my father left. Every penny must be spent on strength. Sandao, go call Lao Cheng and Zhang Daqiu. I have something to tell them." The situation in Jianzhou is critical.

There is no need to delay. The recruitment quota is available and we must recruit the entire army as soon as possible.

Sun Yu walked towards the martial arts training field in the front yard, and whenever he had time, he would train those boys to death. As for problems with training, it was impossible. As long as the nutrition could keep up, these boys could endure the training very well.

"Tighten it up for me and aim!" Sun Yu is now practicing bow shooting for them. They are all standard military bows. They are not strong bows, but for their age, they are already good. Don't rush to let them practice archery.

It's like the new recruits of later generations. First they hold a spear. If the bow is drawn steadily, the accuracy will naturally not be too bad.

"Keep practicing with me. Soon I will take you to fight. Sweat more now and bleed less on the battlefield, you know? Du Rushi, you don't want to be whipped, so hold on to me." Sun Yu held the pointer and started one by one.

Walk over and help them adjust their posture.

The arms of the young people were trembling, and it seemed that they could no longer hold on, and Sun Sandao came. The young people felt that Sun Sandao was so kind today, closer than his own father, and they were finally relieved.
