Chapter 63

Although Qin Hua is a daughter, she is skilled, quick-witted and decisive, and has strong leadership skills.

All soldiers who have followed Qin Hua through life and death are willing to follow him loyally in the end, so it is not easy for Qin Hua to keep an eyeliner in the barracks.

Of course, leaking military aircraft is a serious crime of beheading, and Qin Wei can't set such a bad precedent.

Therefore, the most suitable military division Cao was found as the candidate for communication, and all the content was kept away from the secrets of the military division, and no chance was left for people to take advantage of loopholes.

Of course, if there is really something she needs to know, Master Cao will also convey it through special code words.

For example, what is hidden in this letter is that this year's food and salary have arrived, but [-]% of the food is missing, and [-]% is mixed with sand and moldy, and only half of the food is intact.

These rations are the supplies of the entire Black Dragon Pass for a year. Originally, the rations and grass have been reduced in the past few years, and now they have been reduced by half. It is considered good to be able to eat for the first half of the year. For the remaining half of the year, is it possible that everyone will be hungry?
How far is it for a soldier who is hungry to be defeated and die in battle?

However, the bad news is not only that, not to mention the lack of food, and the loss of nearly 20 taels of silver.

Food is to support the soldiers' bodies, while military pay is to appease the soldiers' hearts.

It's fine to go to war hungry, and even the money is gone, who is willing to sacrifice their lives?
There seems to be not enough food and grass in these years, and they can barely survive by relying on fighting and robbing the enemy army, but the gap is so big, it is not a gap that can be filled by robbing.

Now the national strength is still strong, and the gods seem to be prosperous and affluent. In such a situation, the soldiers are still short of money and food. What do you want to do?Don't you care about the people of the world at all?
The papers written by General Qin could not be sent directly to the emperor's case, but had to pass through Yingzhou Governor's Mansion. Over the years, there was one letter every month, but none of the requests were implemented at the border. On the contrary, more and more food was deducted. .

There must be tricks in this, but the officialdom is complicated. If you don't have enough power, you can't do anything even if you know the truth.

The young general of the Qin family was helpless, and the crown princess of the Tian family... was powerless.

In fact, Qin Hua had already solved the Qin family's plight. When she left the barracks, she knew that the army was difficult. She spent every year relying on wars to support soldiers. In order to get enough food and pay, General Qin greyed a lot of hair.

That's why Qin Hua did everything in his power to save Jin Yan, and then took out all the dowry that General Qin gave him to do business with the Jin family.

All the money and silver earned were exchanged for grain and grass and sent to Heilongguan.

Of course, these grains cannot be sent directly to the army, but they have to think of various ways to put them into the barracks.

Such as robbing aliens, such as stealing beams and changing pillars, such as donations from squires, in short, you have to find a reasonable source, otherwise people will know that the Qin family can raise soldiers, and that will be the day when the family will be wiped out.

This year's crops are not good, and Qin Hua already expected that there would be a shortage of food. The 70 deniers she sent were enough for the soldiers of Heilongguan to feed them for more than half a year.

But enough food and grass, what about Xiangyin?
And those who are corrupt, how much they have been corrupt, can they not count in their hearts?
When they know that they have taken so much without causing any repercussions, will they have a bigger appetite and eat more next time?
Encouraged their greed, how to fill the bottomless pit in the future?
But the reality is cruel. No one wants to tolerate those corrupt officials, but how can we punish them?

Since ancient times, corruption has not been committed by a single person, exploited layer by layer, and protected by officials.

This is not a group of enemy troops with weapons, but powerful ministers with all the power in their hands. Under heavy pressure, it is comparable to thousands of troops. Even if you hold a sharp knife, you can only be slaughtered by others.

Qin Hua spread out a blank sheet of paper, and began to write names stroke by stroke.

Admiral of Yingzhou, Governor of Xichuan, Governor of Water Transport, Ministry of War, Ministry of Households...

There are seventeen names in a row. For the sake of food and pay these years, Qin Hua has been paying attention to the officials on this line, not to mention knowing all of them, but the names are definitely memorized.

Not just the names, but also the families they are backed by.

However, this alone does not make it clear who is the biggest backer behind them, and it is not just these seventeen officials who are involved.

Dragons and snakes are mixed, fish in troubled waters.

If you can't fight against power, let's use force.

Killing, Qin Hao killed, and the one who sat on it instead was more incompetent and greedy than the last one.

There are fat spots all over this route, where can a beast stare at such a big piece of fat and resist taking a bite?

Power cannot be beaten, and force cannot be killed.

Stubbornly disgusting.

"I have to find a way before next year, otherwise I have nothing to do."

This year's grain money didn't make any money, and they paid her a lot of money.

With friendship, she can take advantage of Jin Yan once, but she can't eat his flesh and blood every year. No matter how rich the Jin family is, it's still his.

Between friends, a concession is out of righteousness, and being extorted every time you suffer a loss is a blood-sucking bandit.

No amount of life-saving grace can withstand such abuse.

Qin Hua put down her pen, looked at those names again and again, suddenly thought of something, and wrote two more words next to it.

Yan, Huo.

Yan is the second child of Xiguan Hou Yan's family, guarding Yaoshan Chengguan, an important pass north of Heilongguan.

The Huo family used to be the Marquis of Weiyuan. After being convicted, they were deprived of their titles. The only remaining two brothers of the Huo family guarded the Black Dragon Pass together to make it difficult to settle the customs. It is a coastal place, and the only way for foreigners outside the pass to smuggle from the sea.

The three families are connected in a line, especially in winter, every place is strictly guarded, and the defense lines of the three families are almost completely closed.

When the war is difficult, we will borrow troops from each other, so everyone has a good relationship. Of course, similarly, when it comes to food and pay, we are also brothers and sisters.

General Yan is better. After all, the old man in the family still has a title, and the rations fluctuate, but not many people dare to swallow them. They are the first to receive the rations every year, and the shrinkage is not much. However, they have more soldiers than Heilongguan. Difficult, a lot of trouble.

But the Huo family is different. Not only is the Huo family no one in court, on the contrary, their Huo family has offended some people. The situation is more serious than that of the Qin family. It can be said that they are directly targeted.

Once, the lieutenant soldiers starved for half a month, ate grass and mud, and directly forced everyone to rebel. In the end, it was Qin and Yan who borrowed food to suppress it.

This year's Qin family is sad, and they are afraid that it will be even more difficult.

Everyone is a victim, and they are all secretly thinking of a solution. If one person can't do anything, why don't the three of them get together?

If there is a problem with the food and pay sent to the army, everyone can only suffer from dumbness, but if it has not been sent to the army and something goes wrong at a higher level, then whose responsibility is it?When things get serious, they won't be the ones to panic.

This time, the food and grass can last for less than half a year, and with what she sent, General Qin doesn't have to panic this year, he still has time.

Don't rush to do big things.
