My wife is super cool

Chapter 425 No money to go home
In the cold winter, in the tent.

Lu Jingmo and Lu Jingan sat looking at each other, neither of them spoke.

Next to him was Huang Tong with a sad face, the table was full of ledgers, and Zhang Yuan was still fiddling with the abacus.

half an hour.

The beating sound of the abacus stopped, and Zhang Yuan said with a half-smile:
"Your Highness, the tens of millions of Liangjun silver allocated just six months ago, now there is not a single copper plate left."

She took a deep breath and tried to keep smiling:

"The subordinate thinks that I, the account manager, need an explanation."

Lu Jingan glanced at Lu Jingmo secretly, seeing that she didn't intend to answer, bumped her with his elbow, and cleared his voice:

"Ahem, this, about money..."

She didn't have the nerve to go on, but she still had to bite the bullet and say:
"Actually, it's all my fault."

"As soon as you win a battle, you can't help but want to reward the soldiers. You know, the price of wine has risen very high in recent years, especially the price of meat, so if you are not careful, you will spend all your money."

The soldiers have been fighting with them for years, and they can't even drink a pot of wine, so how can they do it?

Zhang Yuan knew that the money was spent rightly, but the generosity of the two Highnesses caused a big problem, that is:

"The emperor issued an imperial decree a few days ago to let our class teacher return to the court, but now we have no money, how can we return?"

Lu Jingan thought for a while and said:

"Why don't I write a note to the Queen Mother, so that she can distribute some money from the treasury?"

Zhang Yuan covered his face with one hand, feeling hopeless:
"The national treasury was emptied by us years ago. The last time the military pay was paid to the soldiers was raised by the Tainujun and Yuwangfu."

Lu Jingan: "..."

It seems that Yuan'er mentioned in the letter that most of the princes and brothers in the imperial city donated the dowry they saved in advance, and even Yuan'er, including the dowry and Yuwangfu, were almost emptied.

All the valuables were exchanged for money, part of which was used to buy winter clothes, and the rest was sent to them as military pay.

Huang Tong lay on the table, clutching his hungry stomach, reminding faintly:

"From the morning to the present, we have not eaten for two meals."

The strange thing is that the dining room did not deliver food either.

Whatever comes to mind.

Two soldiers entered the camp, each holding two bowls of clear porridge, Huang stirred it with a spoon, and there were very few grains of rice.

Zhang Yuan's eyebrows twitched, feeling a bad premonition.

Sure enough, one of the soldiers said:

"The food and grass delivered in the past few months have been eaten up, so I can only ask the head coach, deputy head coach and the two adults to make do with it."

Lu Jingan lowered his head, his ears and neck were red, and he didn't look up until the two soldiers left.

Without food and grass, it means that there is no food, and if there is no food, it means that more than one million people in their army will go hungry.

This is absolutely impossible.

She bumped Lu Jingmo with her elbow again, and said in a low voice:

"It's okay for us to be hungry, but the soldiers can't."

"Can you think of a way to get some money quickly?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the other two also fell on Lu Jingmo.

But the person involved picked up the porridge and drank it slowly.

Finally, after wiping his mouth, he spit out four words:

"Have no idea."

There are many ways to get money quickly.

For example, to grab the few cities that have just been captured.

But those are the spoils to be turned in.

Moreover, they were all transported back to Hokuriku a few days ago, and they are probably still on the way now, so it is not realistic to call them back halfway.

Of course you can also rob.

However, the army of the Northland has always been strict and self-disciplined and does not take the people's stitches as the bottom line. This method is obviously impossible.

As for the others, it doesn't work.

The reputation of the Northern Army cannot be damaged in the slightest.
