Qin Gong stretched out his hand to support Qin Wei, and then the two sat down and chatted freely, showing a respectful brotherly attitude, which made Qin Wei feel tired.

Well, maybe Qin Gong was also very tired.

In fact, the two are not familiar with each other, and there is nothing to talk about.

But this Qin Gong was able to talk, he said something here and there, he was stunned and didn't say a single useful word.

Xiao Shunzi has been waiting by the side, serving tea and water.

After a few cups of tea, Qin Gong changed his voice and said in a low voice: "What does Wei Er think about the affairs of the court?"

"Ah! What's the matter with the court?" Qin Wei pretended to be stupid and said in a daze.

"It's Grandpa Huang's thoughts!" Qin Gong said with a half-smile.

"How dare my younger brother guess what Grandpa Huang is thinking." Qin Wei said.

Qin Gong stared at him with sharp eyes, "Perhaps you should guess."

"I can't guess, I can't guess, I can't guess what Grandpa Huang is thinking." Qin Wei said.

Qin Gong picked up the teacup, looked at the young leaves floating in the cup, and suddenly said: "Then who do you think is the most likely?"

This question is very explicit, and the purpose is not concealed.

He was testing Qin Wei's ambitions, and also wanted to see if Qin Wei really had plans.

When Xiao Shunzi next to him heard the words, he immediately became tense, and his breathing became stagnant.

Qin Wei raised his head slowly and looked at Qin Gong.

The eyes of the two met, silently.

At this moment, the entire lobby seemed to have fallen into a dead silence, only the mist of tea and the fragrance of tea overflowed.

Qin Wei smiled and shook his head slightly.

"I can't figure out Grandpa Huang's thoughts, and I don't know who is the most suitable."

"And what does it have to do with me?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to be the king of Xiaoyao County after the town's military division is completed, and I will relinquish the position of commander."

"Brother Wang, are you right?"

He looked at Qin Gong with a smile on his face.

Qin Gong narrowed his eyes and looked at him deeply.

After a long time, he smiled, "You are right, the most rare thing in this world is to be at ease, hahaha~~"

Suddenly, he said again: "However, whether you can live freely or not is not up to you."

"Hehe, is that right? I want to be happy, and no one can stop me." Qin Wei leaned on the back of the chair and said lightly.

He already knew Qin Gong's reason for coming.

But he didn't care.

Everyone knows the heart of Sima Zhao.

Whether it is King Ping, King An, or those princes and grandsons, what is on their minds, no one in the court knows, no one knows.

Maybe someone really wants to be a happy prince, but this is only a minority after all. All the princes and grandchildren with a little background have ambitions for the dragon chair in Shengtian Palace.

What Qin Wei wants to be happy is not idle clouds and wild cranes, but the supreme freedom.

Chapter 136

In front of the main hall.

Qin Wei looked at Qin Gong's leaving back, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Let Wang An arrange someone to watch him and check the people around him." He instructed Xiao Shunzi.

"Here!" Xiao Shunzi replied.

Needless to say, Qin Gong's purpose for coming here is to test him.

As for Qin Gong's temptation, Qin Wei had already spoken very blatantly.

Both sides are for the dragon chair in Shengtian Temple, and they have been enemies since then.

Qin Wei didn't know if Qin Gong had any other preparations, but he estimated that Qin Gong would definitely cause him some trouble.

After thinking for a while, Qin Wei left the courtyard and came to the Dusi Yamen.

"Meet Your Highness!"

When Liu Yuanrang and Ji Fei saw Qin Wei coming, they hurriedly welcomed him into the main hall of the Dusi Yamen.

Qin Wei asked nonchalantly: "Is the official document from the court here?"

"I just arrived at dusk yesterday, and the officer is about to send it to His Highness." Liu Yuanrang said softly, his expression moved slightly.

Qin Wei sat on the main seat, looked at him with a faint smile, "You are the commander of the capital, and the official document is for you, not for this king."

Liu Yuanrang was shocked when he heard the words.

Ji Fei couldn't help lowering his head.

"Hehe, Your Highness has quelled the rebellion for Shuzhou. Now that the three divisions of Shuzhou are abolished, His Highness should be the master." Liu Yuanrang smiled embarrassingly.

"Well, that's true. There are many problems in Shuzhou at present, and the king can't do it if he doesn't want to." Qin Wei said as it should.

Liu Yuanrang is not an honest person either, he has his own little thoughts.

In fact, he should have such careful thinking. After all, Qin Wei is only the king of the county, so he shouldn't have interfered with the affairs of the third division's yamen.

It's just that in the Shuzhou Sansi Yamen, except for the capital, the Chief Secretary and the Inspectorate are almost ineffective, so Qin Wei was given the opportunity to intervene.

Qin Wei could naturally see Liu Yuanrang's careful thinking, but he still pointed it out.

"Where are the official documents? Let me take a look at them."

"Here!"

Liu Yuanrang hurriedly found an official document and handed it to Qin Wei.

Qin Wei glanced at it and nodded slightly.

This official document came from the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. Its main content was to appoint officials who were missing from the capital of Shuzhou.

Yuan Shizhe was promoted to be the commander of the capital of Shuzhou, and Liu Qing was promoted to the general of Shuzhou, and concurrently served as the commander of the capital and the commander of the security guard.

In addition, many officials of the An Ning Army and the Lushan Guard Division have been promoted.

Generally speaking, Qin Wei is quite satisfied with this reward for meritorious deeds.

"Is Yuan Shizhe back?"

"I came back yesterday." Liu Yuan gave way.

Qin Wei said: "Call me and let me meet you."

"Here!"

Liu Yuanrang had no choice but to find Yuan Shizhe again.

Seeing Yuan Shizhe, Qin Wei couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

Yuan Shizhe was tall and burly, and he walked like a tiger, with a pair of sword eyebrows that appeared to be mighty, but this time Shuzhou quelled chaos, Yuan Shizhe swept nearly [-] rebels in the west of Shuzhou with [-] soldiers from the Lushan Guards. It can also be regarded as a great military exploit.

"The last general Yuan Shizhe pays homage to His Highness!" Yuan Shizhe came to the hall and bowed.

"General Yuan, thank you for your hard work this time!" Qin Wei stood up, patted his shoulder and said.

"Don't dare, the general just did some things of his own, and dare not talk about hard work." Yuan Shizhe's character is a bit straightforward.

Qin Wei nodded slightly, and asked, "Have the pensions for the dead and wounded soldiers of Lushan Guards been properly handled?"

"Uh!"

Yuan Shizhe looked at Liu Yuanrang, but did not speak.

Liu Yuanrang said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the treasury and grain and grass in the capital's yamen were swept away by the rebellion. Although we took back Shuzhou City, we did not take back the silver and grain and grass."

Qin Wei frowned slightly, but he didn't care about it in his heart.

He is well aware that Shuzhou is currently short of silver and food.

When the Shuzhou rebellion broke out, the rebellion headed by Tang Mingcheng began to transfer the treasury silver and grain storage of various ministries.From the city of Shuzhou to the various prefectures and counties, almost all of them that could be transferred were transported from Pingman Pass to Yunzhou.

Otherwise, Li Ru wouldn't have had a headache because of the silver grain.

"This king knows that the capital's yamen is in difficulty, but he can't chill the hearts of the soldiers." Qin Wei said dissatisfied.

"But the lower officials really can't come up with money and food." Liu Yuanrang said helplessly.

Yuan Shizhe looked at Liu Yuanrang dully.

When he arrived in Shuzhou City yesterday, the first thing he did was to ask Liu Yuanrang for money and food.

More than 2 soldiers of the Lushan Guard Division went to the west of Shuzhou to suppress the rebellion, with nearly [-] casualties. Now the rebellion has been suppressed, but the soldiers still owe their food and pensions, and Yuan Shizhe has no face to return to the Lushan Guard Division.

Qin Wei pondered for a moment, and said: "The Zhenwu Division still has 30 taels of silver in its treasury. It was originally reserved for the Zhenwu Division to build the yamen and recruit soldiers. But the soldiers are working hard for the court. We must not let them chill."

"General Yuan, for the 30 taels, you should first distribute the pensions to the soldiers."

"As for the food and salary, I will think of a way."

When Yuan Shizhe heard the words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said: "Your Highness is kind, the last general will thank His Highness on behalf of the dead and wounded soldiers!"

As he spoke, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed directly.

"General Yuan, why is this so!" Qin Wei hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

Yuan Shizhe's eyes were slightly red, and he said: "If it weren't for His Highness's benevolence, the final general really doesn't know what to do?"

Seeing him like this, Qin Wei couldn't help admiring him.

This Yuan Shizhe is not only a sweetheart, but also loves soldiers like a son.

But it was precisely because of this that Qin Wei's 30 taels of silver was not in vain.

His 30 taels is to buy people's hearts.

The first one to buy was Yuan Shizhe.

Qin Wei comforted Yuan Shizhe, and once again said that he would find a way to pay for the soldiers, so that Yuan Shizhe immediately became closer to him.

After Qin Wei left the Dusi Yamen, Liu Yuanrang and Ji Fei looked at each other, and both of them couldn't help sighing.

"Lord Liu, I feel that there are some things that you should consider carefully." Ji Fei said in a low voice.

"Hey, what else can I think about!"

Liu Yuanrang shook his head slightly.

Then he took out another official document and handed it to Ji Fei.

"Yesterday, the capital sent two official documents, but this official has been afraid to take it out."

Ji Fei was slightly stunned, then opened the official document and took a look.

After reading it, he stared, "Well, how could they do this?"

The content of this official document is to let them raise money and food by themselves, which is naturally no problem if it is normal.

Under normal circumstances, the money and food needed by the capital of each state come from the Chief Secretary. Only in wartime, the capital and the Ministry of Households will allocate food.

But this time when a rebellion broke out in Shuzhou, due to time constraints, neither the Governor's Mansion nor the Ministry of Households allocated food, or they had not had time to allocate food, and the Shuzhou rebellion had subsided.

At the end of the rebellion, the Ministry of Households allocated [-] shi of food and grass, but the Dudu Mansion didn't take away any money.

Now Shuzhou is short of money and food everywhere. If Qin Wei hadn't already dealt with the problems of the eastern and southern parts of Shuzhou and the Anning Army, the problem of money and food shortage in Shuzhou would have been even more serious.

But even so, Liu Yuanrang did not dare to show this official document.

Without money and food, the pensions of the dead and wounded soldiers could not be paid, and those soldiers who worked hard on the battlefield could not get food and wages.

If this matter is not handled properly, it is likely to cause military chaos.

The salaries of the officers and men of the guarding army are divided into two parts, one is monthly rations and the other is travel rations.Needless to say, the monthly rations are the fixed monthly rations, while the travel rations are the rations paid during wartime.

To put it simply, the monthly ration is the basic salary, and the travel ration is the subsidy during wartime.
