C84 (1/2)
Originally, the number of veterans in the military city was no more than ten thousand. Thousands of them could not go back to the battlefield, at least not for a short period of time.
There were more than two thousand disabled soldiers, and these people would never be able to enter the battlefield again.
The salary and provisions which he had allocated to the former soldiers of the military state were in the form of a real name, and were allocated according to the remaining soldiers of the military state. Since the new recruits weren't under the imperial government, he naturally wouldn't allocate money or provisions for them. Even if there were a few thousand eliminated soldiers in the Military Region and they retreated from the army, they would only be able to increase the number of soldiers by a few thousand. Thus, he did not pay too much attention to it.
If he stopped Helian Manqiu from recruiting new troops, it would instead make others think that he did not measure up enough.
Gan Yuxuan was curious about what the kid was going to use to support these new soldiers.
Recently, I heard that Helian Qingyu started to do business. He gave many of his inventions to the Fang family for distribution. Was it because he wanted to use the money from his business to support the new army?
But that kid just started doing business, how could he gather military provisions in a short period of time to support the new army?
”Reporting to the lord, large groups of people have been discovered outside the city and many supplies have been delivered. Please decide what to do with them, my lord.”
”Whose men?”
Gan Yuxuan remained calm and collected. King Lu had sent a letter long ago, so it was likely that King Lu wouldn't dare to provoke him so easily. As an official, he should have gone to pay his respects to the Law King. He had always used the excuse of reorganizing the military region to stay behind and not pay his respects to the Law King.
The King's army had also stayed in the few prefectures that the military prefecture occupied. They did not leave, as if they were waiting for something.
”Reporting to the lord, we have yet to inquire about the other party's name.”
After the scout left, another scout quickly walked in and reported the details.
”It's Helian Qingyu's men? What was delivered? ”
”Reporting to the Lord, it is very complicated. It has all kinds of materials, including wood, bricks, food, weapons, clothes, etc. Please make your decision, Lord.”
As expected, Helian Qingyu brought him endless surprises. Where did he deliver these things from?
The news should have reached them by now, but it was a bit slow. The other party was almost at the military region, and the news had yet to arrive.
”Blue Luan.”
A gray-green figure flashed into the tent and knelt on one knee. ”Your subordinate pays his respects to the lord.”
”Haven't any news from your people come back?”
The Blue Luan's body trembled. It lowered its head and said, ”Your subordinate is aware of his crimes. Please bestow punishment upon me. Your subordinate has already sent someone to investigate this matter. If there is any news, report it immediately.”
”Blue Luan, you're being too slow.”
”My lord, this subordinate dares not, please enlighten the lord.”
The Blue Luan's heart shook. It lowered its head and knelt on the ground, not daring to say another word.
”I'll let you watch Helian Qingyu's movements. Chen Yu Yang and the rest are also like this. Why haven't they received any news yet?”
”Lord, the people who sent out the city in the past two days, Chen Yu Yang and the others are not among them. Only Helian Qing Yu sent Ding Ziyang out of the city today. There is still no news of them.”
”You still dare to defend yourself? But didn't Lord Grudge call you to sleep?”
”My lord, your subordinate does not dare, absolutely does not dare, please enlighten my lord.”
The Blue Luan kneeled down on the ground. It did not dare to raise its head and say a few words. Its soft and charming voice trembled slightly, revealing a trace of fear and bitterness.
Gan Shixuan remained silent. The Blue Luan was kneeling on the ground, yet it didn't dare to speak. So far, there hadn't been any news. What were those people she sent out doing?
