Wife is General Ghost Face

Chapter 22 I found that person

"...General?"

Seeing the passing of time, one of the lieutenants couldn't help but remind him.

"What's the matter?" General Ghost Face returned to his senses.

Everyone was startled, and hurriedly reported the results of the discussion just now.

This time the disaster relief needs to dispatch food and grass from their camps, and they need to be escorted by their people along the way, and they need to send a certain amount of troops when they arrive at the place, so there are many things.

"The situation here is basically like this. I don't know where the grain and grass are?" Tao Chi looked at General Ghost Face.

Their army is divided into several large areas, each of which is stationed on one side, and there is a certain amount of food and grass in each area, and the person who manages these is Mr. Xu.

"Where are the others?" The person under the ghost's face raised his eyes, but he was not seen in the meeting hall.

The soldier next to him stood up and reported: "He was not notified before, general, should you call him now?"

Although the accounting office is also under the management of the ghost-faced general, it is completely separate from the soldiers in two independent systems. Generally, the accounting office does not need to be present when discussing affairs in the army, so it has not been notified before.

"Go and call me." The ghost-faced general looked serious.

"Yes."

Not long after, Xu Jun entered the meeting hall with a small notebook under the leadership of the soldiers.He heard that it was for food and grass, so he came prepared.

"General."

Seeing Xu Jun, the lieutenants couldn't help but greet Xu Jun, and the solemn and serious atmosphere in the meeting hall became much more relaxed.

Tao Chi also moved to the side to make room for Xu Jun.

"What are you doing?" Seeing the clamor of the crowd, the voice of the person under the ghost's face was a little bit lower, with a bit of majesty and shock, and when it came to business, he treated him equally.

Xu Jun held the notebook and sat down next to General Ghost Face, with the same seriousness on his fair face.

After everyone held their breaths and calmed down, General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun next to him, "How about the food I asked you to organize?"

In the conference hall, General Ghost Face was as strict as ever.

Xu Jun didn't mind either, he put the little book he brought on the table seriously, and then opened it, "I've already sorted out the grain and grass, and there are so many that can be allocated." While speaking, he put the Books pushed out.

Looking at the number written in the notebook, the person under the ghostly face frowned slightly. This number was quite different from Jin Qiyao's number.

"Only these?"

"If you want to ensure the army's food reserves, these are all."

"Draw some more." General Ghost Face said coldly, the number Xu Jun gave is not even half of Jin Qi's request.

Xu Jun's brows were frowned on his fair face. He took back his notebook and looked at it. After pondering for a while, he reported a number.

"This is already the limit. In this way, there will be only a little food in the army." Xu Jun said.

"Dial some more."

Xu Jun frowned, looked at the ghost's face, and then at the numbers in the notebook, looking like a stingy man in great pain.

It wasn't long before he took over the accountant. Although he bought cattle and sheep and opened up wasteland after taking over, it will take time to see the results of these two things. Now all the things in his warehouse are left by the previous accountant. of.

It cannot be said that the former accountant is not good, but he is indeed doing things according to the shift, and the food stock is just enough for the soldiers, and there is really no excess.

Xu Jun dragged the notebook over again, counted with his fingers for a long time in pain, but he didn't make a sound for a long time.

"What?" The people under the ghost's face have been paying attention to his actions, as have the lieutenants beside him.

"Is there a shortage of food in the army?" asked one of the lieutenants.

They are lieutenant generals, so they must know something about food and grass. Although they are not detailed, they have a rough number, but this is not consistent with the number Xu Jun gave.

They have all seen the number Xu Jun gave, which is much less than they expected, and now seeing Xu Jun's painful and hesitant expression, everyone is even more surprised.After all, they originally thought that the army would have no problem with this disaster relief.

After listening to the deputy general's question, Xu Jun lowered his head and checked the numbers in the book with his fingers. At the end, he added a little more with great distress.

Really only a little bit, not enough to feed a large team for ten days.

"Is there a shortage of food in the army?" General Ghost Face also frowned deeply. He probably knew the amount of food and salaries in the army. If there was a real shortage of food to such an extent, then there would be a problem with the accounts.

"It can't be any more." Xu Jun was desperate. In fact, this number had already made his heart ache. "If you draw any more, the soldiers will starve."

Before everyone asked, Xu Jun broke his fingers and counted with everyone, "...Although there are still some vegetables confiscated in the field, most of them are things that have not been stored for a long time, and the things that can be stored are only two months old. I have stockpiled food."

He originally planned to reserve three months of grain, so that after three months, the new wave of seasonal vegetables in the field will almost mature again, and the harvest will not be interrupted.

Now two months is the limit, if I give it any more, I will really be hungry if I give it any more!

"Isn't there still so much?" Hearing that there were still two months of food in reserve, the lieutenants became agitated. At first they thought the army was really that poor.

"Allocate some more, as long as the army has surplus food." Tao Chi said.

"No!" Xu Jun shouted suddenly.

Since meeting Xu Jun, Xu Jun has always been soft and talkative, and everyone has never seen him so decisive, and they couldn't help but calm down for a while.

Xu Jun was a little angry, "Two months of food storage is already the limit, there can be no less, otherwise there will be trouble if the border is attacked."

Although disaster relief is a major event, it cannot be sloppy, and the victims of the disaster do need this food, but the army also needs it!

The hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the border are under his control. It is very simple to distribute food, and he only needs to say a word, but his first consideration is not how the victims can survive the difficulties, but how to ensure the rations of the soldiers.

The two countries are at war, and no matter how small the friction is, it will not be over in a few days.

Once the fighting starts, it will take at least a month. If there is not enough food and grass, it will take at least [-] days from reporting to the court to being dispatched.

If he only left a month's surplus of food, once the war started, if the people above did not deliver the food and grass within 20 days, the soldiers would definitely starve.

On the battlefield, when soldiers charge forward, the accountant must ensure sufficient food and grass.It is impossible for the soldiers to fight bloody battles in the front and end up hungry.

Going into battle hungry, how do you kill the enemy?

Ignoring the victims, he may be indifferent.But it is the generosity of others to take the life-saving rations of soldiers without authorization to save others.

Although no one knew when or if the war would start, this was a gamble, betting on the lives of soldiers.

"Besides, the matter of disaster relief is originally the emperor's business, and it's not my business." Xu Jun held the account book to death, and if he wanted to ask for food from him, he wouldn't even think about it!

The people who were still smiling looked at Xu Jun's appearance as a money fanatic, but they couldn't laugh for a while.

They didn't think too much about it because they weren't in their posts. Now Xu Jun's stingy appearance is really funny, but thinking about Xu Jun's fight for the soldiers' rations, everyone couldn't laugh.

After a long while, a deep voice came from under the ghost's face, "Get out another ten days' worth of rations, and I'll ask Jin Qi to make up for you as soon as possible."

Xu Jun was holding his account book, with two large characters written on his fair face, quit!

Seeing this, the person under the ghost's face softened his voice, and he coaxed softly: "I'll ask Jin Qi to make up for you."

Xu Jun loosened up a little, but still grabbed the ledger tightly.

"I'll give you an extra month's supply." The man under the ghost's face carried a connivance and tenderness that he hadn't noticed.

Seeing this scene, the lieutenants next to him felt goosebumps all over and looked at each other speechlessly.Sure enough, it is a lie to treat people equally.

Xu Jun looked at the ghost-faced general, struggled for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation, and asked softly, "Really?"

If it's ten days, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Moreover, the lack of food in the army has always been a problem. If we can have an extra month of food, in general, many problems can be solved.

"Ah."

"Okay then, don't play tricks, cheating is a puppy!"

"will not."

After getting the guarantee, Xu Jun put down the account book, and after doing the calculations, he wrote a number on it with great pain.

The food was obtained, and the meeting ended quickly.

The lieutenants held back until they left the meeting room, then shook their heads and laughed helplessly.They didn't know what they were laughing at, but the smile on their faces never stopped.

It's just that they don't know if their emperor will cry in anger after knowing that he has been in debt for an extra month for no reason.

After determining the size of the disaster relief, the crowd dispersed.

The man under the ghost's face took off his mask, closed his eyes, and sat helplessly in the closed room, pinching the bridge of his nose and having a headache, thinking about how to raise his pen and ask Jin Qi for the extra food.

If he couldn't ask for it, he might be hated as a liar.

Thinking of that stingy and distressed face, he shook his head, the only thing he didn't want was to be hated.

"General." Tao Chi, who was supposed to leave, appeared outside the door again.

The people in the room put on masks, and their faces became cold, "Come in."

After Tao Chi entered the room and closed the door, Fu returned to kneeling in front of the ghost-faced general, "General, the results of the investigation have come out."

"Say."

"..." Tao Chi bowed his head and knelt, a little hesitant.

The result of the investigation was only seen after he returned to his room, and he came here immediately after seeing it, but the result...

Tao Chi's silence made General Ghost Face guess something, his heart sank, and his murderous aura permeated like a cold morning mist.

"The people who stayed in Beijing asked all the guards in the palace, confirmed the time when everyone left that day, and made a timetable..."

"Speak the key."

"During the investigation, they discovered a very strange thing. They followed the investigation and found that one person was very abnormal." Tao Chi said.

"Touch!" The man under the ghost's face exhausted his patience, and slapped his palm on the table, letting out a cold murderous aura.

Tao Chi broke out in cold sweat, "There was a man that night. The people in the palace only saw him go in but did not see him leave. Later, he also checked the gatekeepers in his house, and they all said they didn't see him coming home. People said he was at home, but no one had seen him until morning."

"Who."

Tao Chi gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "It's Mr. Xu."

This result, he never expected.

That day there were more than a hundred people on duty at the gate of the palace, all of them saw him go in, but no one saw him leave.The Xu family only had a servant around him safely saying that he was at home at night, and the rest of the mansion, including the gatekeeper, did not see him go home.
