Lao Shi was also very innocent. He had no intention of showing off at this moment, let alone stealing the job that Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother were promising.

Even if he appears to be apolitical, he actually knows everything he should know.

He originally wanted to follow the fourth brother, but the fourth brother still allowed Xiao Hongfang to criticize his family. If he continued to follow the fourth brother like this, then no matter how many things he did, he would still be the fourth brother's slave.

This waist is bent down all of a sudden, don't even think about straightening it up again.

When the fourth brother and the eighth brother take over, life will not be easy for him. It seems that the little fourteen will be better, but Huang Ama swept him to the border early in the morning.

The general sounds majestic, but in fact he is too far away from the center of power. If anything happens to the Queen in the future, he will definitely be too late.

Lao Shi hesitated.

Many recent things told him a truth, but he had not dared to really put this matter on the agenda, and he did not even think about it too much.

Forget it, don't worry about anything, just run your own errands.

Lao Shi went to the military headquarters to report. Brothers have privileges, especially Lao Shi who is here to take charge. Although he does not have any position like minister, in fact, he can manage this stall just because he is sent here.

, this is a completely different experience from the young brothers going to the Sixth Department for internship.

The military department used to be under the control of Prince Zhi. Later, Prince Zhi was locked up and Kangxi did not send his son there. Anyway, there was no shortage of positions in the military department and things were always handled well.

Lao Shi went to the Ministry of War, and it happened that his eldest brother Fucha Maqi was the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Ma Qi has become very close to Lao Shi in the past few years. At the moment, he did not fool Lao Shi with any vain words, but directly told Lao Shi about this difficulty.

In addition to the money required by the Ministry of Household Affairs for various military supplies every year, the Ministry of Industry also needs equipment from various granaries to transfer military rations. Anyway, when the Military Ministry moves, almost all other ministries must follow suit.

Now the Fourteenth Master is fighting outside. Compared with previous years, the military supplies in various places are very timely. However, the Fourteenth Master gave Kangxi a discount saying that this is not enough. It is too cold in the northwest. When it gets cold, you have to eat more.

In order to keep warm, the various details of keeping warm such as burning fires will require additional money, more clothes and quilts will be needed, and the barracks will also need to be renovated.

The Fourteenth Master was young and ignorant of current affairs, so he offered a sky-high price.

Although the Fourteenth Master is the Fourth Master's biological brother, he actually has a better relationship with the Eighth Master. Neither of the two older brothers actually want to embarrass him, but the Fourth Master will definitely not be able to pass this number, otherwise you will give Northwest five times.

Regarding military supplies, what about other places? How much should be provided? Will the national treasury be emptied? This is not a serious war yet. It is just a regular garrison in the country. Do we need so much?

It must be reduced anyway.

It is impossible for Mr. Ba to come up with so many things, but he insists on giving them all.

This is the difference between him and Fourth Master.

The Fourth Master puts the country first, while the Eighth Master puts brotherhood first. The Fourteenth Master has always shown kindness to the Eighth Master, and now the Eighth Master will definitely hold on even if he is dead.

Now that Lao Shi is taking over this stall, he has to negotiate with the Fourth Master and the Fourteenth Master, and of course he has to successfully take over the supplies that the Eighth Master has promised.

It can be said that Ma Qi also said everything he could say. If it were another person, Ma Qi would not be so easy to talk to.
