Chapter 627 (2/2)
When Du Qiaoyun hears that Xie Zhifeng is boasting her to heaven, he can't help blushing. How can she be so good as Xie Zhifeng?
She didn't give them the silver in vain. They had to help her first before she would give them the silver.
The money spent is not in vain. Although the house can be renovated, the renovated one is better than the old one. There are other jobs that need to be done. She doesn't need the retired soldiers of the cloud family. She also needs to invite others and gather so many people. It also adds countless troubles. Now, it can only be regarded as a mutual benefit.
”Qiao er's good, I all know, you don't have to be modest in front of me, those things you just said are not urgent in a moment, the land is frozen in winter, it's inconvenient to start construction. In addition to the women's guild hall, other things can be done after the thaw next spring, so you don't have to worry about money now. Everything will be done after February! ”
Xie Zhifeng tells Du Qiaoyun not to worry about money, but he thinks about it in his heart.
Although he received a fixed salary and silver reward in the army, there were many ways for him to earn money, but he didn't care to do most of them.
Although he has never done it, he also knows that many generals in the army make a false report on the number of soldiers, eat empty pay, or squeeze the lower class soldiers' deserved benefits, drink the blood of soldiers, or do something about military supplies, or accept bribes from the lower class to increase his official rank
Anyway, there are many ways to earn money! However, Xie Zhifeng disdained the above.
What he thought was that many people took advantage of the particularity of Xiliang's position to trade with the common people of Ximan. He had friends who invited him to join, but he refused.
He was in charge of the scouting camp. In order to get information from the Western barbarians, he pretended that the caravan was trading with the herdsmen there. However, he didn't like to deal with the Western barbarians in the past. In addition, he didn't pay attention to money before. It was good for him to spend enough money, so he didn't have this idea.
But now his wife has to worry about these things, so he can't just sit back and ignore them.
