After the busy farming season, the autumn grain was put into storage, and Geng Yueru and Geng Yueling went home happily.

The married girl threw away the water, and the sisters no longer considered the Xuan Da Governor's residence as their home. Even though their mother repeatedly tried to persuade them to stay, they happily returned to Xinghe City.

They told Huang Yi the good news that both cars were sold and they got 5,000 taels of silver.

But there is a piece of news that I don’t know whether it is good or bad. Wang Kun, the eunuch who has just arrived at Xuanda University less than two months ago, plans to buy ten large cars.

It's just that he just mentioned it to his father, without paying for the goods or even a deposit, and asked for delivery before the end of September.

Dad knew that it was difficult to build a big car, but he didn't comment. He asked us to ask what we should do when we came back.

How could a eunuch buy a big car at a high price? Wang Kun was preparing for extortion.

Huang Yi did not tell his wives and concubines this, but asked them to relax and told them that with his operation, he would ensure that the great eunuch would be satisfied to a point he would never forget!

The market for large cars is definitely in developed areas, and the most prosperous place in the north is of course the capital.

Geng Zhangguang was appointed as a concubine in the capital, and the Geng family had a mansion in the inner city of the capital. Of course, they had to make good use of these conditions.

The Geng Yueru sisters received another mission and went to the capital to sell large cars. They were escorted by thirty-six female cavalrymen who were skilled in bow and horse.

As for the maids and mothers-in-law of the Geng family, as long as the two sisters are willing, they can take as many as they want.

Just a few days after returning home, Geng Yue, who had just experienced human affairs, felt a little reluctant to let go. She wanted to spend more time with Huang Yi.

Later I learned that while they were taking people to the capital, Huang Yi was leading troops to Shanxi to suppress the bandits.

We have to say goodbye again, and of course we have to do that kind of thing vigorously several times. After the storm, Huang Yi said to Geng Yueru who was dripping with sweat:

"Don't be in a hurry to come back after you've been to the capital. Try to get more orders!"

"But I will miss you!"

"Didn't I make an agreement with you two that we won't be concubines and call ourselves slaves? It sounds really awkward to me. Isn't it good for you and me to use him?"

"master……"

"No! I'm just not a master. Besides, I'm not old anymore."

"Pfft!" The beautiful girl in her arms laughed, and the red cherries were shaking...

How can I bear it now? Another fight is a must!

The moon is hazy, the trees are hazy, autumn insects are chirping, the evening breeze is gently tapping the curtains, and the couple is having a lively conversation.

"Actually, the most ideal markets for large sedans are Suzhou and Nanjing! I suggest you two go to Jiangnan."

"Going to Jiangnan? It's thousands of miles away!"

"That's right! Take a big car and bring two big car-making craftsmen with you. After traveling thousands of miles back and forth, you should be able to accumulate a lot of experience and improve the design."

"How long will it take? Concubine..., I..."

"From now on, your main job will be to sell Xinghe City's products. When Yueling can take charge of your own business, you two can come back in rotation."

"Why Yue Ling and I, not someone else?"

"You two are the daughters of Governor Xuanda, and you are the daughters of a wealthy family. Who has a better network of connections than you?

Besides, when it comes to huge money transactions, you two should be the ones I trust the most!"

"I know that it is very dangerous for Xinghe City to be isolated outside the Great Wall. You have to earn a lot of money to raise troops. Have you never thought of being transferred to the pass?"

"You cannot give up Xinghe City even if you are transferred to Guannai. The number of Han people here now exceeds 80,000. Including the Mongols who have surrendered, there should be 150,000 or 60,000.

I must turn this place into a paradise for kings!"

"My father can support you as Governor Xuanda, but who can say for sure about the affairs of the imperial court? What if my father is transferred?"

"It doesn't matter. As long as you have a strong army, you can have anything! Raising troops is the most expensive thing, so..."

"I understand, I must find a way to help make money. My eldest sister's family has a lot of business in the south, and she will definitely be willing to help me."

"It's up to you to decide how to do it. You have to believe that the large cars, glass mirrors, wine glasses, tea cups, etc. produced in Xinghe City are all unique and good things."

"I know these things are all your whimsical ideas, they must be rare things to live in!"

"The cost of raising a soldier for one year is only the military salary, which is twenty-four taels of silver, plus six stones of wheat, war horses, saddles, military uniforms, armor, food, horse materials, etc. Armor, horses for service Calculated over five years, the average annual consumption is no less than sixty taels of silver."

"So many! The Xinghe Army has more than 5,000 troops. Doesn't it cost more than 300,000 taels of silver a year?"

"The 5,200 regular soldiers were fully staffed at the end of August. Most of the armor and horses were captured. We only need to calculate the true and false colors. The monthly expenditure is about 16,000 taels of silver!"

"It's not easy to spend two hundred thousand taels of silver a year!"

"So you must spare no effort to make money, and I will seize as much as possible!"

"I, I will definitely work hard."

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xuan Mansion prepared its troops and the governor received an official letter from Xinghe City.

Xinghe Counselor Huang Yi made a high-profile promise to lead 4,000 troops to Shanxi to suppress the bandits.

Among them, there were two thousand soldiers in the camp, and another two thousand were young and middle-aged warriors. They carried war horses, two thousand and five hundred pack horses, and five hundred large carts of various types.

Shen Jie, the governor of Xuanfu, had seen the troops and horses led by Huang Yi and felt that with such elite frontier troops going to Shanxi to suppress the bandits, they would be sure to succeed immediately.

Huang Yi's official document in the Army Bei Dao reported his request for payment of food and salary for the expedition. Shen Jie immediately gave the reply and forwarded it to Governor Xuanda for approval.

Geng Ruqi knew the fighting power of the rogue bandits and believed that using Huang Yi's troops to suppress the bandits was a waste of time.

But he said nothing and deliberately took this opportunity to give Huang Yi more money, food and some military supplies.

It's a pity that Xuanda University at this time is completely different from last year. There is Wang Kun, the eunuch who supervises the army.

Huang Yi is Geng Ruqi's son-in-law, and he is a double son-in-law. It is a good story among the people, but it is definitely a big joke among officials.

Of course Wang Kun knew the inside story. He did not refute Governor Xuanda's favor and agreed to provide food, wages and military supplies.

But he came up with a problem and asked to bring several young eunuchs to participate in the inspection of troops and horses, and pay them according to the actual number of people present.

The dead eunuch Wang Kun is clearly making things difficult!

Because according to convention, the generals at this time reported four thousand troops, and half of the actual number would be considered good. In fact, I am afraid that there are only one to two hundred servants and three to five hundred battalions capable of fighting.

Under normal circumstances, generals would recruit strong men along the way to make up the numbers when going on an expedition. Even if they could not recruit any strong men, they would resort to catching beggars.

Wang Kun used common sense and believed that Huang Yi, a general who had received the care of Governor Xuanda, must be unscrupulous in taking advantage of his salary.

If Huang Yi is manipulated and the mountain is shaken, the civil and military officers of Xuanda will definitely be more respectful, and he will definitely accept gifts and be merciful in the future.

As everyone knows, Huang Yi promised to lead two thousand regular soldiers on the expedition, but he really planned to send two thousand soldiers to follow him.

The soldiers of the Xinghe Army were not vegetarians. Most of them were auxiliary soldiers. Under normal circumstances, auxiliary soldiers could be converted into regular soldiers as long as they performed well after fighting with the army.
