Chapter 104

Three million cups, what number?

What is the concept of three million glasses of wine?

Let's put it this way, Tie Zheng, as a great commander-in-chief of the generation, the wedding wine he used for wedding banquets, of course, can't be the kind that costs more than ten taels of silver a catty; Even more expensive.

But calculated in this way, even if it is the worst kind of ten taels per catty, three glasses of wine per catty will consume at least one million catties of wine. At least ten million taels of silver is needed!

But this amount, in terms of Tie Zheng's salary alone, really wouldn't be able to pay back in ten lifetimes!

But he still made this promise, and he still has to fulfill it as scheduled!

...

Tie Zheng ran wildly all the way.

But he can feel that his state of mind has changed a lot since the time of the expedition. Now, when Tie Zheng sees every person in the Yutang Empire, he feels so cute and kind!

Along the way, he did not know how many people came to give money.

"It's just gold and silver, buy a wedding wine for the handsome!"

"Please, Marshal, accept it!"

But Tie Zheng didn't ask for any of them, and rejected them all!

He knew that his promise was very impulsive, even outrageously stupid, the brothers all over the world might be worried about him. However, he would rather die poor and bear the shackles of debts that will last a lifetime in the future, than ask these brothers for their money!

I invite you to drink when I get married, that's my business! Spend your money on banquets, then, am I still Tiezheng?

"After going back, sell the two manors rewarded by His Majesty. It can be sold for three million taels. If you sell some of the fine jade at home, and all the rewards from these years, you can sell it for two million taels... "

"There are still savings over the years. In the past, some private goods that were not handed over were robbed during the war, and there were three to four hundred thousand taels; if the fiefdom of the title was sold, it could be sold for two million and seven million. In this way, I have Eight million taels."

Tie Zheng was calculating in his mind.

"The rest is probably only a shortfall of three million taels. I'll ask the old Marshal and Marshal Qiu to borrow it, and the generals of the military department can put together a little more, and it's almost enough!"

"No matter what, this glass of wedding wine must be drunk by the brothers!"

"Whether they are still alive or have died in battle!"

"This is the wine that I, Tie Zheng, owe everyone, and it is also the wine that brothers should drink!"

"Your Majesty said that you want to pay the money, no. The treasury is already empty. I have some money, and I need to give pensions to my brothers... I can't use this money to drink."

"I'm Tie Zheng, I can still afford this drink!"

The thirty-six guards around him were also discussing in secret.

"How much can you make up?"

"It's less than 10,000. I'll think of a way to get to 10,000, and I will definitely get to 10,000."

"My family has money, I can get 100,000, if I grit my teeth and squeeze, I can get 120,000, there must be this amount."

"I... feel ashamed. I have thrown away all these years, and I still have one hundred taels on me... I will find a way to find someone to borrow some, so I can make up five thousand taels?"

"Nima's second son Wu, you don't save money at critical times!"

"My side is poorer than Wu's second son..."

Thirty-six guards, everyone has the final say, the poor occupy twenty-seven, really powerless, for a while, the brothers also looked at each other in blank dismay.

The captain yelled angrily: "You bastards, you usually pretend to be rich when you spend a lot of money... How come it's time to get down to business, and everyone is like this?"

Twenty-seven people drooped their heads with sad expressions on their faces.

It's really a penny holding back a hero, as the saying goes, you don't lie to me!

"The main reason is... fighting every day, twenty-seven of us, no wives and children, both parents dead, no one at home, we want money... what do we do? I wish I had money this morning and spent it all in the afternoon... ...If someone dies that day, but the money is not spent, what a shame..."

"I didn't spend it recklessly... But as soon as I got the money, I quickly gave it to the families of the brothers who died in battle. Who would have thought it would happen..."

The brothers looked at each other and let out a long sigh.

"But no matter what, the marshal got married, and this wedding must be held beautifully! The pomp!" The captain said with red eyes, "You guys won't steal from the rich and give to the poor!"

This is really urgent, and even the saying of robbing the rich and helping the poor has come out.

"No one is allowed to go!" Tie Zheng's voice was forced to be cold: "Every one of you managed to earn a life from the battlefield, and you just turned around and wanted to be buried so impatiently? No one needs to say more! I have plenty of money! I can’t get enough of a wedding banquet!"

"Keep your money, if you don't have a wife, hurry up and find a wife, keep your roots!" Tie Zheng said with a dark face, "Why spend it on me? Even if I owe a whole lot of debt, I still have a wife! Don't meddle with you bunch of single dogs!"

My own family knows my own family affairs best, why the thirty-six personal guards don't know about their own great general's family background, they are all confused and depressed.

"What kind of grandchildren are you pretending to be? Tiantang City is in front of you!" Tie Zheng warned in a low voice, "We are heroes and heros, all of you should show your energy! Look at all of you, who are full of bad luck... ..."

Thirty-six people agreed, and each of them was busy rubbing their faces with their hands, until their faces were flushed and refreshed. Immediately, he tidied up his clothes, and even brushed his war horse, before galloping across the horse gallantly.

Just passed a forest.

Sudden.

A gust of wind blew up, and countless leaves rattled and rolled up a long dragon in front of the cavalry.

"Hoo!"

Tie Zheng reined in his horse, and the thirty-six riders behind him stopped at the same time.

A voice came from the woods: "Marshal Tie, since you're here, why don't you go into the forest to have a talk."

The voice is soft and elegant.

Tie Zheng said: "Who are you, if you want to meet Tie for a while, why do you hide your head and show your tail like this?"

The voice said, "Don't worry, we're friends!"

"Friend?" Tie Zheng sneered: "Why don't I remember that there is such a shameful friend like you?" As he said, he already held the hilt of his sword in his hand.

Behind him, each of the thirty-six riders had swords in hand and arrows on the string.

The forest man was silent for a while, and said, "You don't have to come in."

Suddenly, a bundle fell on the ground, and the gentle voice said: "Marshal Tie, this is my lord's wedding gift for Marshal Tie!"

Before the words were finished, the figure on the other side had disappeared without a trace.

"A wedding gift?"

Tie Zheng looked at the red cloth package on the road with suspicious eyes, urged his horse over, and carefully turned over the package with a two-foot-five spear.

The next moment, Tie Zheng's face was flushed suddenly, his whole body was trembling with excitement, he jumped up and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! Stay! Brother! Brother... Stay!"

However, no one in the forest has agreed.

With a bang, Tie Zheng rushed into the woods, at this moment, regardless of whether there was an ambush in the forest.

He turned around in the woods several times, only to see a stone in the middle, which was clean, as if someone had just sat on it.

Tie Zheng walked over excitedly, only to see a piece of paper pressed on the stone with a sentence written on it.

"Congratulations to Brother Tie on his newly married marriage. We have been married for a hundred years and have a precious son. I'm out for the wedding!"

Very short sentence.

However, there was a sign of flame.

Nine stars guard, the flames burn!

At this moment, Tie Zheng trembled all over, but regretted it beyond words, there is no way to add it!

Why didn't you come in just now? !

Why is suspicion so serious? !

"Commander!" The captain of the personal guard hurried in: "Commander...in this package, there are twelve million taels of silver notes...this..."

He was excited, excited, and sighed again.

My family knows their own affairs best, and according to the commander-in-chief's temper, so much money dropped out of thin air, let alone not accepting it...

"Take it!"

Tie Zheng let out a sigh.

"Yes, I'll send it back right now... huh?!" The head of the personal guard almost fell out of his eyes in an instant: "Accept it?!"

Damn, is the commander-in-chief wrong, or I heard it wrong, our own brother sincerely contributed money to the commander-in-chief, but was rejected by the commander-in-chief, how could we just accept it, what about our own family and brothers? , is it possible that this brother's small boat is going to capsize?

"This is a congratulatory gift from the Ninth Masters! He said that he has given the wedding wine." Tie Zheng smiled bitterly: "I can reject the world and your Majesty, but... the money from the Ninth Masters, I cannot refuse, let alone refuse !"

This sentence made the captain of the personal guard suddenly tremble with excitement: "Nine, nine masters...?!"
