However, Yuan Wense only occupies a very small proportion of the topics discussed by these two men. Now the two of them are more focused on their game with Bei Mingkang.

After Murong Liuzhang learned about the Tang family, he also understood the intensity of recruiting troops this time, and he could probably guess the reason for Bei Mingkang's frantic rush to recruit troops.

"Bei Mingkang must have been full over the years, so he was reluctant to spit out the piece of meat in his mouth. According to him, there must be at least nearly one hundred thousand troops here, but in fact, there should be no more than fifty thousand.

, or even less. Otherwise, a small Linye Village with two to three hundred men would have to recruit fifty soldiers. This is simply crazy."

Murong Liuzhang never thought that Beimingkang was so crazy that he only had 10,000 permanent troops, and the rest were distributed to various villages and towns. Every autumn and winter, when the natives were overrun, he would call all these troops back and call in some more temporarily.

The auxiliary army will defend Huxiao City and will not go out to support the villages and towns at all.

When the disaster of the natives is over, they will immediately disband most of the cannon fodder troops, leaving some relatively strong ones to build some infrastructure.

That's why the surrounding villages are getting poorer and poorer. Until now, basically this large area of ​​fertile land in the north has turned into a wilderness without people planting it.

Every year, he reported an army of 100,000, but only 90,000 were left empty-handed. This ratio is really jaw-dropping.

Di Lin said, "No matter what, let's actually order the troops once and form a military formation to see how many people there are. Let's talk about military expenses. I estimate that in just a few days, there is no way he can find so many additional sources of troops. Besides,

This is spring, and the natives rarely invade. Even if we have extra soldiers at this time, we can reduce some of them. If we leave 50,000 strong soldiers, the cost can be reduced by half."

If it's less than half, it would still cost 200,000. If the tax is 150,000, the difference will be 50,000 taels of silver. Dilin will definitely be able to make up for it.

However, how could Murong Liuzhang use money from his own pocket to replenish military expenses? At least this soldier was from Beimingkang, so he would not spend a lot of money.

However, for the previous accounts, Bei Mingkang said that there was a breach of the city the year before last, and the account books were burned by fire at that time, and there was no proof. So, as for the account books after that, we can also check them carefully.

Murong Liuzhang said to Di Lin: "There is no obstacle to your cultivation now, so just don't mind these nosy things and practice hard. If you don't break through to the Grand Master, I will never be able to rest assured about your safety."

The Grand Master can be regarded as the most powerful existence in the human world. As long as he is not the sect's immortal god, the life of Di Lin, who is always guarding him day and night, is not in danger.

Regardless of how energetic Concubine Beiming is, in fact, there are really not many people in the big sects who can take a fancy to her power. It is not easy for her to invite people from the big sects.

Although the Grand Master is powerful, he has not yet left the realm of mortals. A person's power is limited. If Ren Jiuhuan had a bunch of guards around him, it would not be easy for Murong Liuzhang to kill him.

…

Murong Liuzhang sent a mission across the ocean to Beiming's house to ask for an audit. Beimingkang said that he would return power to Dilin. This was obviously duplicity. It was just a diversionary strategy under pressure. What kind of conspiracy was hidden can only be revealed.

Only time will tell.

Yueyang was a little suspicious when he received this mission, but he still found Gao Wuyong and conveyed his opinions.
