"Where can Second Uncle find 500,000 taels of silver for you?”

"Why did Second Uncle bring so much silver for the war…"

"Second Uncle only has 80,000 taels left. Do you want it or not…"

Zhu Zhanji quickly snatched the silver notes."Thank you, Second Uncle!"

Then, he turned to Zhu Gaosui, who was about to run away, and shouted,"

"Third Uncle, what about you?"

"Third Uncle didn't bring any money with him when he went out. He left it all at home. Next time, Third Uncle will make it up to you next time…"

Zhu Gaoxu, who had just received eighty thousand taels of silver, heard Zhu Gaosui's words of evasion and immediately became angry.

In your dreams, he grabbed Zhu Gaosui's sleeve and pulled it out himself."

"Third Bro, you really are a miser. You didn't even pluck a single hair…"

"Don't you know how to live a rich life? Who would believe you if you didn't bring money?"

" I'll just treat it as my nephew's lucky money…" Who would give a family tens of thousands of taels of silver as their lucky money?

Zhu Gaosui was defeated after a round of fighting. In terms of strength, he was eighteen streets behind Zhu Gaoxu.

"Hurry up and take it out!" Zhu Gaoxu took out two stacks of silver notes from Zhu Gaosui's sleeve and chest pocket, and handed them to Zhu Zhanji without counting,

"Nephew, take it and spend it! Second Uncle and Third Uncle still have military matters to attend to, so I won't play with you anymore!”

With that, he pulled Zhu Gaosui away.

" Thank you, nephew. Second Uncle, Third Uncle's reward of silver…" Zhu Zhanji thanked him in a high voice, jumping up and down as he waved goodbye. After a long while, he turned around and walked back. As he walked, he proudly counted the silver notes in his hand.

"Two idiots!"

……

After Zhu Gaosui was pulled away, he angrily scolded Zhu Gaoxu,"

" What I have on me is the military pay of the Wei Zi Shou Battalion. I haven't even warmed it up yet, and you've robbed it all. 130,000 taels of silver…"

"What is it? The pay of the soldiers?"

"Third Brother, you are too ugly. The Wei Zi Shou Battalion is the elite of the five military camps. The war is about to start, and you dare to take their pay.”

"I haven't thought about how much to keep, have I?" Third Brother said with some grievance. I kept winking at you, but you didn't see it…"

"I thought your miserly habit was acting up again. It wasn't easy for you to take the bait. If things don't go your way, you'll have to stay in the camp for the whole day tomorrow.”

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment and suggested,"

"How about this, you tell them that you won't take a single cent of the spoils from tomorrow's battle and will leave it all to the soldiers of the Wei's Shouying. If you're lucky, the gold and silver seized will be much more than the military pay.”

" Will this work?" Zhu Gaosui asked doubtfully." How can we guarantee that they won't go to the old man?"”

Zhu Gaoxu promised,"

"Don't worry, third brother. Second brother has done the same thing in the Three Thousand Battalion.

As long as there were more gains, the subordinates would be secretly happy!

According to the rules, if they handed over the spoils, 50% would go to the national treasury, 20% to the generals, and they would at most keep 30% in their hands. Now that the spoils belonged to them, who would care about the salary?!

The old master had always turned a blind eye to the soldiers 'spoils. As long as it was not too ugly, the old master would not care as long as they could win the battle and did not sell military rations and armaments!

Don't worry! It'll be fine!"

Zhu Gaosui knew that Zhu Gaoxu had a lot of experience and relaxed. He teased,"

"No wonder Second Brother has always been generous. It turns out that he has long been planning on the military pay! I'm still too young!"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed." Second Brother's expenses are too big. If we don't think of some way to make up for it, the family won't be able to make a living. We brothers can be considered as 'great minds think alike,' haha!”

"Second Brother, can you lend me some silver for an emergency? His younger brother was really clean this time!”Zhu Gaosui asked with a flattering smile.

Zhu Gaoxu thought that Third Brother was helping him on the surface. Although it might not be sincere, he must have his own plans. At least they were allies now, so it was not good to make things too stiff.

"2nd brother still has 25,000 taels of silver here. 3rd brother, take it. In this way, the amount of money that we threw to the little brat is the same. We spent 210,000 taels of gold and silver to send him on his way. It's worthy of his status as the eldest grandson of the emperor…"

"Second brother is right. I will follow your lead in the future…"

……

In the central tent.

Emperor Yong Le closed the report and asked the personal attendant beside him,

"So, Second and Third picked people with clean backgrounds?”

"Replying to the Emperor, from their resumes, most of them are from families with military merits. A few of them are descendants of hereditary military positions from the families of Jingnan and the founding fathers.”

After Zhu Di heard this, he tapped the report in his hand expressionlessly.

" They didn't choose their own personal guards, nor did they choose their own friends. Instead, they chose these children from good families who have nothing to do with them…"

"Have my two sons learned to be so cautious…"

"Emperor, should we watch over the little master tomorrow and not let him get too close to the battlefield?" The servant asked.”

Zhu Di glanced at him and said,"

"You old dog, have you learned to keep me in suspense?”

" The courtyard doesn't grow any good materials to be a pillar…A peaceful emperor can't do what he says…"

" Go and assign a team of Jinyiwei to follow behind Taisun. As long as Taisun doesn't charge into the formation personally, you don't have to worry about him. Just show them the flag and let them know that there are Jinyiwei watching them…"
