Chapter 72 Impulse Punishment
As long as there is land, there will be rats, and they are natural intelligence agents.
It just so happens that the war on the border is currently unknown, and getting information from the rats will definitely be more accurate than hearsay.
Gu Chan immediately asked, "What's the situation at the border now?"
"According to my men, the generals stationed at the border of Tiancang Kingdom have sent their deputy generals and 10,000 elite troops to encircle and suppress the Diyue Kingdom cavalry. The two sides have begun to set up defenses and have not started fighting yet." Mickey explained.
"It's only been a day. The two sides didn't fight, but faced each other. This is normal." Gu Chan reached out and touched his chin to analyze.
Mickey suddenly changed the subject, "My men living in the forest said that there are tens of thousands of people from the Earth and Moon Kingdom ambushing in the forest. If the soldiers from the Tiancang Kingdom enter the forest, this battle may be over."
"Sure enough, there is an ambush. I'd say the enemy has been prepared for it!" Gu Chan curled her lips and sighed.
She had expected it before.
The Earth-Moon Kingdom must be confident if it dares to attack the border so blatantly.
It's a pity that the intelligence capabilities on the border are too weak, and the experts sent by Tianji Pavilion to find out the information were also killed.
As a result, the information sent by the handsome man in black did not arrive in Kyoto so quickly. Unfortunately, his information was written in the secret language of Tianji Pavilion. It had to be sent to Tianji Pavilion in Kyoto for translation first, and then sent back to Tianji Pavilion. From this side of the border.
In a sense, this is a weakness of Tianji Pavilion's intelligence.
But it's useless to say this now. It just depends on whether the deputy general is a talent or a idiot.
Thinking of this, Gu Chan turned to say, "By the way, you have a younger brother. Does that prove that during this period of time, you have conquered all the rats in Wuheng County and become the new rat king?"
"Of course, thanks to you, I've become so strong now, it's hard for them not to obey me." Mickey said proudly.
"Okay, then instruct your rats to closely monitor the enemy's movements and report to me at any time. It is very likely that the border garrison will not win this time, and it will be up to me to save everyone." Gu Chan did not hesitate. , make a decision immediately.
Mickey was full of doubts, "I don't understand, why don't you report these situations to the government?"
"Hmph! Wang Yuanwai sent his son to trouble me today. He and the county magistrate are wearing the same pants. If I tell them, they won't believe me! Not to mention I'm still a child." Gu. Chan snorted angrily.
She is sober and can understand her current situation.
Rather than trying to get in trouble yourself, it would be more satisfying to do what you want to do in secret.
Although Mickey didn't understand the intrigue between the two-legged beasts, he certainly listened to Gu Chan's words, "Okay! I'll listen to you. I'll order my men to monitor the enemy, but you have to agree to a condition."
"you say."
"When this is over, you have to let me move here. I don't want to live in Kaiyuan Drug Store anymore. I am the Rat King now, and this building of yours is worthy of my status."
"Whatever! No matter how big the problem, you can come."
Gu Chan waved her hand carelessly.
Mickey jumped up and down with joy, quickly ran into the alley and disappeared.
Gu Chan continued to sit on the threshold and rest, waiting for Ma Zheng to come back.
After a while, Ma Zheng came back panting, carrying a stack of cakes.
Gu Chan stepped forward to help him carry the cakes to the second floor, and gave two to everyone. He also ate half of the cakes to fill his stomach, and then went back to his room to rest.
At night, in a superior wing on the third floor. Gu Chan was lying on the fragrant soft bed with a look of satisfaction on her face, "Ah! After so long, I finally live a good life. I no longer have to sleep on a smelly and hard earthen bed."
As soon as she finished speaking, two eels rushed to her side.
Eel Baidu said, "You still have time to enjoy it!" If it were me, I would be extremely anxious now. 】
[Yes, you are really big-hearted. 】Eel Sogou also followed suit.
Gu Chan wondered, "Why am I in such a hurry? Isn't everything going according to plan? The medical center will open tomorrow, and then we can start our normal business and make money!"
[Have you ever thought about it, according to the law of Tiancang Kingdom, each person has to pay fifty-two head taxes per month. You call more than twenty villagers over, plus the four of you, there are almost thirty people. If you count thirty people, you would have to pay one thousand five hundred taels just for the head tax every month! 】
[This does not include your monthly living expenses and the money you spend to pay them wages. If all are included, your monthly expenses will be at least two thousand taels of silver. 】
The two eels, with one word and one word, explained the biggest dilemma Gu Chan was facing right now.
Gu Chan was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly sat up and the smile on her face quickly disappeared, replaced by an uncomfortable expression.
Dry!
She really didn’t think much of it at first. She just thought that with such a big building, she had to do something good to take in these homeless villagers.
At least she didn't think about the head tax or anything at all.
Now that the two eels said this, she realized that she was still too kind-hearted and too impulsive.
One month...two thousand taels of silver...
She can't even sell her kidney for so much money!
"It's over, it's over, I'm so impulsive, what should I do now? People have called in, we can't just drive them away tomorrow! This is terrible, what should we do?"
Baidu laughed loudly, "You are so funny!" I thought you had thought of a way to make money in advance and called them all here. Your reaction was indeed beyond my expectation. 】
[Master, why not open a medical clinic? Opening a green shop will make money faster. 】Eel Sogou came up with a bad idea.
Gu Chan rolled her eyes at them and said, "Stop making sarcastic remarks and help me find a way. It's impossible for me to open a green shop. Anyway, I have to get at least two thousand taels of silver as soon as possible."
[There is only about half a month left until the end of the month to pay the poll tax. We can’t think of a way to help you get so much money in such a short period of time. 】
[Unless in the name of Batman, you steal the Yuanwaifu treasure house again. ] Eel Sogou suggested.
Gu Chan shook his head, "After what happened last time, the Yuanwai Mansion must have tightened the guard. It will not be that easy to steal again. If something happens, I will be trapped. So this method is not feasible."
[Then think about it yourself! We slept. 】
[Master, we believe in you. You are smart and you must have a solution. 】
Two eels teased Gu Chan.
After saying that, they curled up on the quilt and began to fall asleep.
Gu Chan sat on the bed with her back to the headboard, reaching out to touch her forehead, her face looking extremely ugly.
Still believe her! She doesn't believe herself.
This is the end of the game!
