MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 789 arrange

  The sun is setting and there is a yellow halo on the horizon. I feel warm and comfortable in this winter.

   "Let's go tomorrow. There are many shops in Yushi Street and it's very popular. I'm afraid you won't be able to do enough shopping just for a while." Mu Yan looked at the sky outside.

   "Alright." Huo Xi put down the car curtain. Feeling wrong again, "Aren't we going to visit Yu's house tomorrow?" All the posts were handed out.

  Mu Yan paused, "Then we will go later." He forgot about it.

   The husband and wife turned back to their home.

  As soon as he returned to Cuihuang Courtyard, Mu Zhan got the news. The family of three had dinner in Aunt Jun's courtyard, and Mu Zhan stayed to discuss matters with Aunt Jun.

   "Mother, did father say how many soldiers he can send to me?"

  Seeing that Mu Yan has a private soldier comparable to the strength of the guard, Mu Zhanchi is really sour. Scratching his heart and soul, he also wants to have his own private soldiers, the number of which cannot be less than Mu Yan's, and the private soldiers who only listen to his orders.

  Originally, Mu Yan was in the capital, and no one in Yunnan competed with him. He used the manpower in the mansion as he wanted, and he didn't think there was anything wrong. After Mu Yan revealed his private soldiers, Mu Zhan realized that what is in the mansion belongs to the mansion, and what he owns is his own.

  Aunt Jun's face was worried when she heard this.

   "I talked to your father, he only said that if you want to employ people, you can call them in the mansion. He said that the manpower in the mansion is enough for you."

   "It's not the same!" Mu Zhan raised his voice.

   "I want to call the guards in the mansion, but the chief guard in the mansion doesn't listen to me, only my father. I have to ask my father for instructions and get his approval."

  I didn’t feel that much before, but now I feel inconvenient everywhere.

   "I also want to raise a private soldier of my own! It only belongs to my son. Does my father disagree?"

  Aunt Jun felt a little embarrassed, "Your father didn't expressly disagree."

   "Then father agreed!" Mu Zhan's eyes lit up.

Aunt Jun couldn't bear to hit him, so she just tried to comfort him: "Zhan'er, your father told me that it is not easy to raise a private soldier. Look, they need to eat and drink, and they have to give them a noon every month, right?" ?There are other throwing costs, which will cost a lot in a year. Plus, they will be equipped with armor and weapons... If your father asks, these are not a problem, and you can buy them clearly, but it will cost a lot of money. And Do you want to match them with horses? The price of a horse is not low!"

  Thousands of words are nothing but silver. There is a huge monthly throwing fee here.

  Aunt Jun also thought that her son should have a private army, not inferior to Mu Yan's. But when he calmed down, he also felt that the Duke's analysis was right, and the harm outweighed the benefit.

  One is that it costs a lot of money to throw away, and the other is that if Zhan'er assists in local affairs, the Duke will send people to follow him, and Zhan'er doesn't have to worry about money and manpower.

  Besides, based on Zhan'er's status...it would be against the rules for him to raise a private soldier. It would be troublesome if someone reported this.

   "Otherwise, listen to your father, we don't need to compare this with Mu Yan." Aunt Jun comforted in a soft voice.

  Mu Zhan couldn't listen.

"Mother! I asked you to ask your father for instructions. Not only did you not get the silver, you also couldn't get your father's consent, and you were persuaded by your father instead! Is it because I am a **** and I am not worthy of having private soldiers? Or is it because I am a bastard, You can’t have any private property, and if you want money or people, you have to reach out to the mansion? Always depends on people’s faces?”

   Originally, Mu Zhan had no one to compete with him. He lived a comfortable life and gave people a humble and capable image outside, but after Mu Yan came, he became more and more impatient and lost his temper.

  Aunt Jun felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing such a son.

  Her son is the eldest son, and because of her status as a concubine, her son can only be a concubine, and he must be inferior in every way.

"Your uncle's property, your grandfather allocated several places to your mother. After a while, your mother will have more money for you to use. If you really want to recruit people, we will quietly raise them as servants in Zhuangzi. Not to mention private soldiers. It's just that we need to find people who can act as soldiers..."

   I'm afraid it's hard to find.

   Swords and arrows have no eyes, even those who have nothing to live for still cherish their lives. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not serve as a soldier for others. And you have to be sneaky, and you can't have an obvious identity.

  If you can't afford a big price, I'm afraid you won't be able to recruit suitable people.

  Glanced at Mu Zhan, "Zhan'er, don't worry, let's plan this matter slowly." Moreover, Mu Yan still wants to return to Beijing as a hostage, and everything in Yunnan belongs to her son.

   Don't be too eager.

  Mu Zhan was not comforted, and flung his sleeves back to his study.

   Bring in your confidants and let him check how much money is left in the account and how many people can be recruited.

   After doing some calculations, I realized that the available money in my hand was pitifully small. Not to mention recruiting according to Mu Yan's standards, but only ordinary servants, I'm afraid they won't be able to support many people.

   "Is this all the money in the account?" Mu Zhan was very dissatisfied.

  I feel that the managers under him are a bunch of waste, and others are making a lot of money, so why is the money in his account getting less and less?

   "All the silver was used to buy the jade mine on the border between Leng Country and me."

   "There is no money in the account this year?" Such a big jade mine.

   "A lot of ores have been dug out, but not many good jades have been dug out..."

   I don’t know if it’s because the people of Lengguo lied to the young master, that jade mine didn’t produce much good jade.

  Mu Zhan frowned tightly, "Didn't you say that you transported several carts of rough stones to the shop on Yushi Street?"

   "Most of those rough stones are still piled up in the warehouse. The shopkeeper wants people to see if there are any good jades in them first, and open them in the shop first to keep them." If you sell good jade, you can make more money than selling rough stones.

  Mu Zhan now needs silver, a lot of silver. He can't wait.

  Even if there is good jade in the rough stone, it will not be short time to ask a jade craftsman to carve it out, then put it in a shop and wait for buyers to buy it, and then get the money back.

  And what if there is no good jade?

   "The people in the stable today said that Mu Yan and his wife are going to go shopping on Yushi Street in the past two days. You are like this..." The recruiter approached and gave some instructions in a low voice.

  The manager listened and nodded, and went out to make arrangements.

  Mu Yan and Huo Xi didn't know this.

  Their eldest house is assigned to the east road of the mansion, and the eldest house has no elders in the mansion, so the husband and wife don't have to make morning or evening arrangements with anyone, and they don't have to eat with the second and third families, each family eats their own food. The Duke of the State did not call Mu Yan to discuss matters these days, the husband and wife are at ease.

   After dinner, I watched the scenery in the huge mansion to digest food.

  Hou's mansion has been transformed into a public mansion, and the mansion has been expanded several times, covering a very large area, with pavilions, terraces and buildings, water, stones and Tsinghua University, and all kinds of scenery along the way. Just strolling around after dinner is only one out of ten.

  Although it is night, there are hundreds of servants in the mansion, and candles have been lit in the courtyards, gardens and porch. The scenery at night is different from that during the day.

  The couple didn't go back to the yard to rest until they were tired from shopping.

  The next day, when the servants were ready, the husband and wife went to visit Yu's house by car.
