The happy life of the devil and the devil

Ever since he heard the news that Yuan Shao was in danger and the escorting troops were out of ten, Ling Yucheng took the matter of pensions to heart.

Well, there is still the possibility that His Majesty will not come back. If that is the case, he does not need to worry about the following matters; but as a subject, it is not necessary to be completely lazy now because he may never have to go to work in half a month. work!

Therefore, Ling Yucheng kept one eye on the present, sitting in the capital to appease the inside and outside, and the other eye on the future, and asked his three generals, He Liu, Xia Bai, and Jin Bo, to work together to figure out how to get the regulations of the pension. Appropriate.

He Liu was one of his subordinates who led the veteran soldiers, and he knew the hardships and hardships of the soldiers the most.Every time after the war, every family sends a bad letter, every household distributes pensions, takes the time to visit the family members of the disabled and martyred comrades, and takes over half-aged children from the deceased comrades' family to teach martial arts. If Ling Yucheng is not free, Most of them are handed over to He Liu, which can be regarded as rich experience.

As for Xia Bai, how many people died this time, and what was the family situation of these deceased? Ling Yucheng avoided suspicion before, but now it is even worse to directly arrest the deputy future of the Jinwu Guard in Beijing and ask Xia Bai to investigate as soon as possible.After the investigation, the news was collected and sent to Jin Bo, and Jin Bo classified them according to the number of people, and made a pension plan, one, two, and three, as well as the corresponding budget form and total budget...

The three of them performed their own duties, and led their subordinates to work in the dark for seven or eight days, and finally handed in their homework before Yuan Shao returned to the capital.And Ling Yucheng only needs to give a rough plan and... copy the final product in his own hand.

Of course, he still needs to take a shortcut and put the memorial directly on Yuan Shao's imperial case... instead of letting his autographed memorial line up with the courtiers, and go through the official channel for a few days, after seven or eight The individual's hand was sent to Yuan Shao's nose.

"The soldiers around Your Majesty are the elites of the country. To protect His Majesty, they should be properly compensated." Ling Yucheng stood under the throne and said, with a sincere expression of concern: "Many of the soldiers under your command are fiefs. When the people joined the army, most of them had fathers or grandfathers who went out with the late emperor. I have talked to many of them, and the decline of most families began with the death of the men in battle."

"Just because the pillars of the family died in battle, leaving orphans and widows, they can't teach their children to bow and horse, and they can't send them into the army. Once the path to advancement is cut off, they will be stuck in the countryside for the rest of their lives. Most of the pensions and rewards that you have worked hard for will be taken away by the clan. There are many subordinates under the minister's command who have fallen from a well-to-do family to a poor place because of these reasons."

Yuan Shao's face gradually became serious. Ling Yucheng thought of the family members of his comrades who died in battle when he visited in the northern Xinjiang camp, and sighed softly, with a more solemn and sad tone:

"There are also wounded and disabled soldiers who have retired from the army and returned to their hometowns. Not only are they unable to manage the family business, they have a meager savings, and all the medicines are not enough. Many of them saved their lives on the battlefield, but in order not to drag their wives and children to their deaths... I think According to the customary use of silver and rice, I am afraid that there is still not enough. If the wives and children are hungry and cold, wouldn't it make the soldiers who died for His Majesty feel uneasy..."

...Bastard, whoever died this time was the pillar of the family!They are all the sons and grandsons of the family, the sweethearts in their hands, the little guys from eleven to seventeen or eighteen years old, okay! Is it true that 20 years later is the mainstay, now?Most of them didn't even have wives!

Besides, who will take away their children's property?Do these kids have property?Are there orphans left to afford education?Even if a few elderly people marry wives and have children, who can afford it?

If this one really dies, the sky will fall, only those slaves of the emperor of Jinwuwei, who have just been released from slavery, and the rough guys who haven't wiped off the mud and water on their feet, okay!

A group of famous family heads and aristocratic nobles were crazily complaining in their hearts, but no one dared to interrupt, and could only silently listen to Yuan Shao and Ling Yucheng sing together:

"Then what advice do you have?"

"I believe that for martyred soldiers, they should support and care for their families, so that they can have food and clothing; take the offspring who died in the army, raise them well, teach them five soldiers, and make their offspring serve the country and have a family. If you have a family business, you don't have to rely on it. Others; if there is a way to make progress, no one dares to bully them. This way of inheriting their father's career is the consolation for the martyred soldiers. Although the wounded and disabled soldiers can no longer protect His Majesty, they can still do it by teaching children. It’s a way of making a living for them.”

After speaking with confidence, Ling Yucheng handed over the memorial with both hands:

"As for the cost of such pensions, please have a look at your Majesty."

In fact...you don't need to look at the budget form, just listen to what he said, and you will know that the extra money will not be spent.

The one-time pension is changed to payment in installments, and the financial pressure has been reduced a lot.

Juvenile orphans are raised in a centralized manner, food expenses, equipment expenses, etc. can be wholesaled, and the cost of hiring teachers overlaps with pensions for disabled soldiers...

As for the children of martyrs, the royal family raised them from an early age, not to mention their combat effectiveness and loyalty...

The courtiers sitting below began to grind their teeth, Ling Yucheng returned to his seat leisurely, and watched Yuan Shao comfort the courtiers with a smile, and said generously: Anyway, it is still necessary to teach the young students who have been selected into the Jinwu Guard, why not... your children Send them here too?

I pay for teachers and teaching fees!One is teaching, and a group is also teaching!

And you can cast a wide net, choose carefully, and send a few more children from your family, and I will choose those who learn well to join the Jinwu Guard!

…………

Your Majesty, you are getting more and more cunning.

No matter how back and forth between monarchs and ministers, it takes time to go door-to-door to condolences and distribute pensions, it takes time to organize suitable venues, and it takes time to select people to teach orphans.In the midst of this calm undercurrent, another matter attracted all of Chaozhong's attention.

——The assassination case that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally supervised and investigated has finally made significant progress.

Before the crown prince, it was Lord Zongzheng who was in charge of investigating the number one case of the year.

Maybe Master Zongzheng is over [-] years old after all, and he can't stay up day and night like a young man; maybe it's because the court situation was unstable at that time, and we must maintain a balance... In short, until Yujia returned to Beijing, the case had not been investigated Raise an eyebrow.

Not only did it fail to find out, but only three days after the prince's assassination, the martial law in the capital was lifted, and the closed city gates burst open.Although the checks on the in and out were several times stricter, it was difficult to say how many assassins with the party were missed.

Then again, how many days can a big city like Beiliang Capital be closed for?Seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, at least firewood must be brought in from outside the city, fresh vegetables must be brought in from outside the city, even the drinking water, from the palace to the residences of the princes and high officials, is used to drinking The spring water outside the city...

Of course, the assassination of the crown prince is a major event, and it is also reasonable to close the city gates to search for the assassins. Ling Yucheng gave the order, and the fool only pushed back at this time.But it doesn't matter if it's locked up for one day, it doesn't matter if it's locked up for two days, and it doesn't matter if it's locked up for the third day. Those who make a living by business, closing the city gate for a day will cut off their livelihood for a day.

However, as soon as the news came that His Majesty had survived safely, catching the assassin was not so important in comparison.Besides, Yu Jia is about to return to Luan, no matter how much he wants to catch assassins, the crown prince can only watch the city gate slowly open, and all manpower and material resources should be invested first in welcoming the driver, which is not difficult, but it is easy to gain favorability in front of the emperor. go up.

——If it’s not my business, it’s because no one cares about it!His Royal Highness thought angrily.So, after Yuan Shao obstinately obtained the authority to investigate and prosecute, he immediately began to supervise the matter with unprecedented toughness.

Everyone who appeared on the street where he was assassinated that day was tortured and tortured!Those who are not from the capital in the nearby streets will be tortured and tortured!Those who were not citizens of Beiliang who were arrested and imprisoned that day were all tortured and tortured!

In addition, in the capital, the foreign secret spy stronghold that everyone knows but has never touched has also been pulled out swiftly and cleanly.

After such a sweep, it turned out that there were a lot of strange news.At least [-] or [-] copies of the guns of the same type as those used in the assassination of the prince were copied from seven or eight different locations, and the identities of the holders ranged from caravans traveling on the grassland to secret spies from various countries.Some of these are dilapidated and damaged, and some are as bright as new, but without exception, they are all engraved with the mark of Yu Xia's Northern Xinjiang camp.

In addition, in a secret Yuxia stronghold, many interesting documents were copied out.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only passed through it once in a hurry, and then asked someone to roll up the documents together, and headed straight for Zhaoxin Hall.

There was a lot of joy in the bedroom, Yuan Shao was having lunch with Ling Yucheng, and Xiao Shixi sat under them, holding a bowl to look at the father for a while, and then at the master for a while, as if he could never see enough.After almost filling his stomach, seeing that both Master and Father were in a good mood, he tentatively opened his mouth:

"Father, Dalutie and the others are so pitiful. We practice martial arts together every day, and change our clothes when we sweat. Bu Ming and the others have neat new clothes inside and out. Dalutie and the others have ragged underwear. , No one mended the tear. Father, I want to find someone to make some new clothes for them, okay?"

Just this question shows that Ling Yucheng takes good care of the little guy.The earth-shaking event of the emperor's disappearance, the little guy didn't seem to be affected much, and he got used to it within a few days after seeing his father.Now that I am thinking about it, I have returned to the rhythm of reading, practicing martial arts, and learning how to fight...

The two adults exchanged subtle glances.The rule for the prince of Beiliang is eight companions, four are selected from officials and aristocrats, and four are selected from the slaves directly under the royal family.The differences in background, education level, and the differences in food, clothing, housing and transportation reflected therefrom divided the eight children into two distinct sides at the beginning.

On the one hand, both parents have been doted on since childhood, and they have a good foundation in literature and martial arts; To my own rags...

"What is Lang'er thinking?" Ling Yucheng leaned forward slightly and asked with a smile. "Why not just ask someone to do it for them?"

"It's just for Dalutie and others to do it, how sad it is for others to see! Also, the master said, you can't give grace without reason. They didn't do anything worthy of my reward, and they couldn't take the lead in reading, riding and shooting. I Why not reward those who have learned well, but reward those who have learned poorly?"

These two sentences alone are surprising.Yuan Shao gave Ling Yucheng an appreciative look, and asked, "Then why didn't you do it for eight people?"

"But those four people obviously have no shortage of clothes to wear!" The little guy frowned hard, feeling that his brain was about to fly, "Master said that even if you are a master, you have to put some thought into giving things to others. A bunch of things that others clearly despise, but still put on a smiley face to thank you, the most tasteless!"

The master on the left said, and the master on the right said.Yuan Shao began to seriously consider that while taking his youngest son to practice martial arts, he should also teach him some principles of how to behave.Now it's like this, it's really delicious.

"Actually, this matter is very easy..." Yuan Shao put down his chopsticks casually, and was about to give advice to his youngest son when a voice came in from outside:

"Report to Your Majesty, the prince seeks an audience!"

The author has something to say: It is said that I was KO today...

Talking about green tea* in the group, they commented that "to be a green tea*, you must at least have an above-average appearance."

Then my friend kindly comforted me: Your makeup can still reach the average level...

The blood tank is empty...
