Shangjing has been the imperial capital for 700 years, covering hundreds of miles, and is the largest city in Nanjin.
The city wall is nearly a hundred miles away from the palace wall, and the vermilion-colored high wall has become darker and darker in the scouring of time. It is approaching midsummer, the sun is dazzling, and the green leaves in May are almost drying out.
The setting sun has not yet fully set, the bluestone slabs on the main road carry the afterglow of the sun, the wine flags are waving in the evening wind, and the smoky aroma of wine mixed with the smell of makeup and powder in Huajie floats far away.As soon as the curtains were drawn at night, an unexplained decadent atmosphere filled the whole city.
Nanjin hadn't won a battle for many years, and when the news of the victory came, the whole city and even the whole country were dizzy, as if they had been drinking peach blossom wine for a long time, and they were a little intoxicated.
Emperor Qing Jing was no exception. That night in the palace city, he was holding a wine glass to watch the audience singing and dancing leisurely, but he almost dropped the luminous glass in his hand after the personal eunuch whispered for a while.
"She won't come?"
"The princess said that he is not feeling well." The eunuch's words were so yin and yang that the emperor snorted coldly, obviously not believing it.
But he couldn't attack, Qi Yantang held heavy soldiers, although there were a lot of forbidden soldiers in the imperial city, these coddled soldiers would not be the opponents of Qi's army, although the emperor was proud, he still had this self-knowledge.It's not that he doesn't worry about whether Qi Yantang will rebel, especially after he has gained such military exploits, he was uneasy when the military power was given to him, but no matter how uneasy he is, there is nothing he can do, someone has to take over this hot potato.
What's more, Qi Yantang will not rebel, as long as Qi Yanwei is still in his hands, he will not rebel.Thinking of this, Emperor Qing Jing's shoulders loosened slowly, snorted, and let Qi Yanwei's ignorance and flattery go unchecked.
He felt that he was extremely wise, no matter how powerful Qi Ji was, what was the use, if he had to obediently tease him in his palm.
Every emperor wants to live forever, and Emperor Qingjing's desire in this regard is particularly strong. It's a pity that the great master doesn't care about him, but he is destined by destiny. When Qi Ji was old and decayed, the second spring of his life had just begun, let's see how he would fight against him when the time came...
He took a sip of the wine in his glass, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled contentedly.
It's just that Qi Yantang probably has only one judgment on his thoughts:
This old man is crazy on drugs.
He doesn't have the time to care about this stupid old man who is addicted to drugs. The wind in Yansai City is fierce. He is wearing a windbreaker and facing the sun, concentrating on studying with a handful of loess.
Of course, the windbreaker on his body is not as refined and elegant as it would be hundreds of years later, but he is dressed in a coarse cloth gown. He didn't study any bullish majors such as economics and chemical engineering before. I was distracted, and I feel a little regretful. He studied agricultural genetics and breeding, which should be of some use. Unfortunately, he was not in the senior grade when he came here, and he hadn't been exposed to deeper professional knowledge. He has followed suit for a long time. The idea of learning in advance has never arisen.
Fortunately, some basic concepts are still there. Should I be glad that there is no high-tech technology such as genetic breeding at this time...
Qi Yantang curled his lips mockingly, let go of his five fingers, and let the dry sand powder in his palm disperse... He squinted his eyes, rubbed the remaining sand with his fingertips, the air was too dry.
The climate in Yansai City is very extreme, with two distinct seasons of dry and rainy seasons, strong sunshine, serious land leakage, and difficulty in water storage. The soil has been severely salinized over the years, making it difficult for crops to survive on such land.He sighed, looked at the vast wilderness, and felt that there was a long way to go......
But when I came back, I received a surprise:
"Some people say that the soil quality here can be improved?" Qi Yantang confirmed with raised eyebrows.
"Back to Marshal, the man's attitude is unclear, and he himself is not sure, maybe he is uttering wild words."
"Just bring it up."
After a while, a thin man with a worried expression was brought up.
Qi Yantang stood up and greeted him with a pleasant voice:
"What's your opinion, sir?"
"Don't dare to be a grassroots!" The man said in trepidation, seeing Qi Yantang's gentle expression without any coercion, under his repeated reassurance, he boldly said:
"The soil in Yansai City is too salty, and the crops that grow here will be burned to death. If the land can be lightened a bit, although it can't become a land of fish and rice, it won't be as bad as it is now."
"Do you have a way to desalinate?"
"Grass people are not talented... Yansai is vast and sparsely populated. The method of grass people needs to dig blind ditches, set up water wells, and build sand pillars. The large project cannot be completed in a day..." He rubbed Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he hesitated and said:
"It may not be able to cover the entire land of Yansai...not to mention..." Yansai City is poor, quite poor, and that is the worst.
"It doesn't matter, sir."
"......There is no money and no one in the city..." The man uttered these words after holding back for a long time.
Qi Yantang paused for a moment, then said lightly:
"You don't need to worry about these things, sir. You only need to tell us the solution. Naturally, this commander won't let this problem bother you."
The man took a reassurance, looked at Qi Yantang, and thought of so many years of research, his heart was agitated, and he began to talk eloquently:
"I came up with this method when I saw that the rainwater seeped into the soil on a rainy day. The soil became saltier because it couldn't drain... I have also told others before that the water should be drained. , and then use fresh rainwater to wash the soil and make it dilute..." He became more and more excited as he talked, and even danced when he talked about how to build blind canals and dig water wells.
Qi Yantang inexplicably thought of the old professor who taught him in the past, he was also a person who couldn't stop talking, his eyes were quite subtle......
--------
In the big tent, Qi Yantang heard Wang Meng's arrogant voice from far away:
"Come on, carry these in!"
He smiled knowingly, and lazily leaned back into the chair covered with tiger skin. After a while, Wang Meng and Chu Nian lifted the curtain and walked in:
"See the Marshal!"
Qi Yantang waved his hands and said with a smile:
"how?"
Wang Meng laughed loudly:
"Qi Shuai, don't tell me, that old boy's face is almost turning green, but his subordinate put the knife aside, he didn't even dare to fart!"
Qi Yantang raised his eyebrows, looked at Chu Nian again, and said with a smile:
"This is not an exaggeration, but we firmly occupy the side of morality. It is not a secret that Yansai City does not have the support of the imperial court. If you don't want the city to be destroyed and hurt yourself, Jilu City must show some sincerity."
"But in this way, the city lord of Jilu City will surely repay the loss to the people in the city." The military master lifted the curtain and sighed pretending to be worried.
"Isn't that what Marshal Zheng He intended?" Several people looked at each other and smiled.
The bankrupt peasants have become refugees, and it is imperative to find another place to live. As a neighboring city, Yansai is remote and wild, but there are heavy troops guarding it. The policies promulgated by Qi Yantang are more attractive than him in the whole country. up.
This morning Wang Meng led a team of hundreds of people directly into Jilu City. The murderous hundreds of people were still full of iron and blood killing spirit after the war. Everyone's face was gloomy. Although they didn't say a word, they clearly had a meaning , give money or rob.
As the saying goes, those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Nowadays, the entire Yansai City is very bachelor. Under the coercion and coaxing of Wang Meng and Chu Nian, the old blood of the city lord of Jilu had no choice but to Swallow it yourself.Even though I didn't know how many bad words I swear by these shameless soldiers behind my back.
The people in these tents said that it was not painful, not to mention that the military division had another good news:
"The imperial court exempted Yan Sai from taxes for five years."
Qi Yantang scoffed:
"Can Yansai City still pay the tax?"
But this is also good news, he still doesn't have the energy to deal with the exploitation of those blood-sucking worms.
"Who are they going to send?" Qi Yantang asked again.
"Qian Zhong."
Qian Zhong is the great eunuch next to Emperor Qing Jing, and he is also a legendary figure. There are rumors that he was an eunuch and got involved with the concubine of the Supreme Emperor before Emperor Qing Jing ascended the throne. After the incident, the Supreme Emperor did not want him He was killed, but he was eunuched again.It is said that the concubine was once a thorn in the side of Qingjing's mother and concubine, so the twists and turns behind her back can make people guess for three days and three nights.
Now he is the most powerful person around Emperor Qing Jing, yet Emperor Qing Jing would actually send him here.Qi Yantang really didn't care that he was an eunuch, and sent him here to insult or something, he was just curious that this eunuch who had been raised in the prosperous village for so long was interested in running to this barbaric place.
"My subordinates have spread rumors that our army has handed over a lot of spoils from the East Tatar. They are all rare goods, and there are also the generous help from the surrounding cities. Today's Yansai City is a golden bun."
Seeing Qi Yantang looking at him with a half-smile, he smiled calmly and said:
"What's more, the most important thing is that this old dog came here with the intention of being famous forever. The emperor also needs a confidant to find out the real situation of Yansai today. The two of them hit it off right away."
Hearing this, Qi Yantang pursed his lips, and a cold light flashed in his eyes:
"Since we're here, let's treat this father-in-law well, and order it to go down and arrange it. Don't let people leave disappointed."
Sending eunuchs to reward the three armies was the first absurd thing in the history, but Emperor Qing Jing had done a lot of absurd things over the years, and such a thing was not enough to make everyone chatter after dinner.
Qian Zhong came very quickly, afraid that if he was a step too late, all the treasures would be blown away, and the ostentation was full, and the long line was mighty, and in the name of the emperor, he naturally couldn't lose his momentum. He said so, and Emperor Qingjing also thought that Of course.
It's just that he rushed for a month, and finally arrived at Yansai City, but he didn't receive the respectful and dignified welcome line he had imagined. Before reaching the city gate, he felt a little bit dissatisfied.
What the hell kind of place is this? Qian Zhong felt a little nervous. Is there really a treasure in such a poor place?The strong wind with the smell of sand tore apart a rotten lantern on the street. There were not many people in the long street. They didn't seem to have seen their convoy. Everyone's face was rubbed by fate. After the abuse, the heart is numb as if dead.
Qian Zhong suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave, but after receiving the emperor's order, he could only bite the bullet and go forward, and finally there was someone to greet him.
But Qian Zhong's joy that had just risen was scattered by the man's ragged attire in the blink of an eye, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze. The expression on his face came towards him.
"My lord, father-in-law! You've come!" The man wiped away two muddy tears from the corners of his eyes. He burst into a smile and said eagerly:
"We are eagerly looking forward to waiting for you, Marshal, Marshal..." His voice suddenly choked up, and he continued:
"The marshal is waiting for you, too. He is in the big tent. Please wait for a while. The marshal is inconvenient to get up. It's definitely not that he didn't come to greet you on purpose!"
"Wait, wait!" Qian Zhong grabbed the old man who kept pulling him in, and asked:
"you are?"
"Hey, look at the villain's memory. The villain is Lin Lang, the military adviser here. Father-in-law can call you whatever you want." There is no respect at all in this land boundary. Qian Zhong looked at his dirty cuffs with disgust, and couldn't help thinking. The urge to push it away, but this hand was very firm, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't get up and down several times but failed, he was depressed for a long time, and made several notes to Qi Jiajun in his heart.
"How is Qi Shuai's recovery?" His voice seemed to come from his nose, and there was always an unspeakable arrogance.
He had just finished asking when he saw the sadness appearing on Lin Lang's face instantly, his eyeballs were bulging, and he heard him say:
"Qi Shuai...he was shot in the vitals. Although he managed to save his life, he has been bedridden for several days. Everyone in the camp is short of food and medicine. Those of us who are subordinates are incompetent... incompetent!" He sobbed as he spoke.
Qian Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out:
"Didn't you pay a lot of treasures from Dongda?"
Lin Lang looked at him blankly:
"Eunuch, do you mean the pile of rusty iron boards? Or the dead horse meat that was dragged back?"
Holding his breath in his throat, the blood burned on his cheeks, Qian Zhong suddenly remembered the news that the spies in his hands came back that night, he was very confident that they would never dare to deceive him, not to mention the truth after drinking. He couldn't control it, so he collected himself, squinted his eyes and stared at Lin Lang, trying to make his fat old face look more majestic and unpredictable.
He didn't believe a word the old man said!The more he hides, the more it proves that there is a ghost here, Qian Zhongxin secretly laughed, with a worried expression on his face:
"Money is a dead thing. It delays Qi Shuai's injury. It's a small loss. Lucheng has always been rich. I heard that they have given you a lot of support..." He looked at Lin meaningfully. Lang, don't miss every change in his expression, as long as there is a clue......
Lin Lang folded his brows together, and said in confusion:
"It's true...it's just that the dozen or so stones of grain and grass they supported are really not enough to feed the entire camp. This year, natural disasters have continued, and the harvest in Lucheng is not good, so we didn't dare to ask for more brazenly... ..." He laughed in shame.
Qian Zhong suddenly clenched his fists and forced a smile from between his teeth:
"That's it...you go down first, and when Qi Shuai wakes up, let me know, and I'll take a stroll in the camp first." He didn't believe it!
Lin Lang immediately showed a embarrassed expression, watching him hesitate to speak.
Qian Zhong was overjoyed, and thought to himself: Sure enough, the more he doesn't want me to see it, the more I want to see it. I'll see who can stop the imperial court's imperial envoy.
"It's not impossible, but I hope that the father-in-law will bring more people. There is still some chaos in the camp after the war."
Qian Zhong's expression froze:
"Chaos? What kind of chaos law?"
"There are countless soldiers killed and injured, and now there are more refugees from the city in the camp... Qi Shuai is bedridden, and the remaining generals in the camp are really powerless to restrain..." He smiled shyly, his eyes sincere Looking at Qian Zhong:
"But the father-in-law is surrounded by people with high martial arts skills, so it's no problem to deal with these outrageous people."
Qian Zhongdeng was in a bad mood at the time, his eyes wandered around the camp, and all he saw was a pile of dirty rags mixed with strange colors, and he had a little doubt in his heart that there would be treasures in this ghost place, but he Without showing it on his face, he coughed:
"nature."
--------
After less than an hour of shopping, Qian Zhong ran back in a hurry, almost as if he had fled.He had never met such a terrifying refugee in his life, and he was panting heavily, with lingering fear in his heart.Each of them is like a ghost crawling back from the corpse pile on the battlefield. None of the mortals with high martial arts skills around him is the opponent of this group of ghosts.
"Elder-in-law." A voice sounded out of nowhere.
Qian Zhong jumped up, stared at the person who came in, and asked in a rough voice:
"what's up?"
"Qi Shuai is awake and looking for you!"
Qian Zhong flicked his sleeves, pretended to be calm and snorted, and raised his chin with a straight face to signal the man to lead the way.
After entering the handsome tent, he smelled a strong smell of medicine, which made people's eyes dark. He squeezed his nose tightly and walked in, and saw Qi Yantang half leaning on the simple bedside, looking pale and weak.Seeing him like this, Qian Zhong felt a lot of balance in his heart, but he was still a little angry. He came all the way to this place where birds don't lay eggs, and they didn't even serve hot tea. Those gangsters are domineering in front of him!Thinking of this, his face turned dark immediately, Shi Shiran walked to the only chair in the tent and sat down, looking at Qi Yantang proudly with his chin raised.
He might have plans to get up to greet him, but Qian Zhong is not so sure, because he didn't seem to be so sincere in his struggle. He propped himself up a few centimeters away from the bed and lay back down. Qian Zhong couldn't be sure it was him. He was really weak so far because he was pretending, he didn't say anything, and planned to wait and see what happened, but he listened to the nervous dissuasion of the old man named Lin Lang:
"Qi Shuai, please lie down quickly. You have worked so hard for the country and the people, and your father-in-law has a kind heart, how can you bear to care about a momentary courtesy?!"
Qian Zhong choked again, seeing the people in the tent staring at him suddenly, he said yes with a false smile.
So Qi Yantang no longer struggled, he lay back on the bed, and smiled weakly at Qian Zhong:
"My father-in-law still remembers to come to see me, Qi Ji is very grateful."
"Qi Shuai is serious..." He rubbed his fingers, thinking to himself: Oh boy, this is the man that the emperor fears day and night. When I saw him a few years ago, he still looked like he had eyeballs on top of his head. The emperor doesn't know how happy he should be now that he has become like this... He also has today... There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, which was fleeting, because he saw a few people who followed him.
Qi Yantang also saw them, waved his hands feebly to signal them to ask someone to bring a stool in and sit down, then smiled with the corners of his mouth:
"Today is a good day...cough cough!" He coughed, panted and laughed again after calming down, looking at Qian Zhong's warm and moist eyes with great gratitude, Qian Zhong suddenly felt bad This bad feeling made him even forget his original intention of making money... Sure enough, he heard Qi Yantang's hoarse voice say again:
"Eunuch Qian inspected on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and came here specially from the imperial city to reward the three armies. Brothers' hard days are finally over!" He coughed excitedly again as he spoke.
A pale blue color suddenly appeared on Qian Zhong's face. He never expected that the majestic marshal of the three armed forces could say such words like a beggar. Subconsciously, he coughed dryly and evaded:
"Where, where..."
"What the marshal said was that his subordinates had already informed the whole army when they received the news. Everyone was eagerly looking forward to Eunuch Qian's arrival. Now that he finally came, brothers are so happy!" The man with the beard opened his mouth and laughed. When he wasn't smiling, he looked murderous and terrifying, but Qian Zhong didn't feel any better when he smiled.
He became a little restless, and things seemed to have gone in a strange direction. He originally planned to reward the sergeant Qi Yantang in exchange for those benefits, and he wouldn't give them too much. He wanted nothing but treasures, but now he even No baby smell!
"Nonsense!" Qi Yantang scolded lightly, but his tone did not imply much blame.
"I don't know how much money Eunuch Qian brought here this time?" Another mild-mannered soldier asked, his face full of anticipation and anxiety, his eyes staring at Qian Zhong without blinking, which made him very stressed.
Qian Zhong faltered, this number can't be said to be big.
"Hey, don't you need to say it? It has been spread throughout the camp. His Majesty is so generous that he approved a full 100 million taels of silver for Eunuch Qian, let alone ten carts of grain. I heard that they are already on the way. It's time to arrive in two days!" the bearded man said excitedly.
Qian Zhong became deaf for a moment, looked at them blankly, and said sharply:
"How many?!"
"One million taels, did I remember it wrong? Could it be two million?" The bearded man scratched his head and stared at him without blinking.
Qian Zhong didn't catch his breath:
"No..." Before he finished speaking, Qi Jicha said:
"Thank you Long Live Long En. It's a pity that this crippled minister is too weak to get out of bed, but when the father-in-law announces the Holy Grace to the three armies, Qi Ji will definitely be there even if his leg is broken!"
Qian Zhong was dumb all of a sudden........ This is Long En, the Holy Majesty, and he has nothing to do with him, but Emperor Qingjing will pay the money?He obviously didn't pay a dime!But can he say it?Who will believe it?He patrols on behalf of the emperor, what a shit job!
"Your Majesty has intentions, but this day is not as fast as the generals imagined. Please be considerate. After all, such a large sum of money will not arrive in a day or two." Some people are hypocritical and submissive.
"How can it be, the messenger we sent came back and said that it was almost to Hancheng, and Hancheng is only a two-day drive away, so my father-in-law is too worried." The bearded man replied without thinking.
"How is it possible!" Qian Zhong's voice suddenly rose an octave, and everyone swiped to look at him, Lin Lang said with a look of astonishment:
"Eunuch, what's wrong? Could it be that the holy will is wrong?"
Qian Zhong calmed down, laughed and said:
"Everyone knows that the country's treasury has been empty due to the turmoil of wars these years and the constant natural disasters..." Before he could finish speaking, a sword sound slid into his ears, and the hair on his neck stood up, almost Instinctively, he changed his language:
"But all the generals have made great contributions in defending the border, and they have worked hard. No matter how difficult it is, the imperial court will not treat you badly!"
Only then did the bearded man laugh out loud:
"I was scared to death. I thought there was something wrong. The whole army suffered heavy casualties. If something really happened, we didn't know how to explain it to the brothers. You also know that all these years, the brothers have become angry in wars. coming."
Qian Zhong nodded repeatedly with a pale face.
"Okay, take your temper, look at scaring Eunuch, Mr. Lang informs, and Eunuch Qian will reward the three armies in front of the whole army on behalf of the emperor two days later." Qi Yantang glared at the bearded man feigning anger, and then turned to the bearded man naturally. Lin Lang ordered.
"Two days, is it too urgent, Qi Shuai your body..." Lin Lang hesitated.
Qian Zhong nodded again and again, for two days, he didn't even have time to run far!
Qi Yantang shook his head, forced a smile and said:
"This is the first good thing in Yansai City in so many years. As long as I have breath, I will never let it go wrong!"
"Where is Qi Shuai, where can I go if I am here? Your health is critical, you should rest for a few more days, Nan Jin's safety depends on you alone!" Qian Zhong hastily persuaded.
Qi Yantang glanced at him, his eyes seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Qian Zhong almost thought it was his hallucination. Seeing him, he took a breath and said:
"I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me."
Qian Zhongdeng felt cold all over his body.
He walked weakly, not knowing how he got out of the tent, against the bright sun, he asked another question without giving up:
"I heard that there are a lot of good things left in Dongta. Why don't you exchange them for some supplies? The life of the soldiers will not be so difficult."
"Hey..." The bearded man sighed heavily, glanced at him and replied:
"There are things, but no one wants them here. Is your father-in-law willing to change them?"
Qian Zhong rolled his eyes. Does it mean that there is no one in the imperial city? He asked anxiously:
"What is it, where is it?"
"Elder-in-law, do you really want it?" The bearded man had a strange and uncertain expression.
Qian Zhong choked, and said with a dry smile:
"If it's Tieden and horse meat..."
The bearded man shook his head:
"Of course it's more than that, but father-in-law, you have solved the urgent need of the whole army. I thank you on behalf of the brothers!" He looked at him sincerely, then recruited a small soldier, and smiled heartily:
"I want to tell everyone a good news. Eunuch Qian wants to spend money to buy the spoils we brought from the Dongta dog. Tell the chef that three chickens will be slaughtered tonight to make soup. You son of a bitch, it's been a long time since everyone has tasted the smell of meat. Already! Let everyone eat meat tonight!"
Three chickens... Qian Zhong's expression twisted for a moment, what did he say just now that the guy in front of him misunderstood... He just said to go and see for himself...
With tears in his eyes, he watched people stuff piles of broken fur, rusty stirrups and other things into the carriage he brought, choked up silently, and watched those brutal men with blood dripping from top to bottom put him in the carriage. The most valuable decorations in the house were stripped off... He was only aware of it at this moment... He was robbed... ...
He looked at the bearded man stiffly, he turned his head and cracked a mouthful of white teeth at him, his expression seemed to be grateful, but the white teeth glistened in the sun, embedded in the blood-red gums like a row of blood-stained white knives ......He silently looked away, already annoyed himself for this reckless request for countless times.
Let's go tonight, without anyone noticing!He hated in his heart, let the **** reward the three armies, go to hell!
How beautiful the thought is, how cruel the reality is.
This is an army that is poor, unruly, accustomed to robbing, good at buying and selling by force, and willing to misinterpret people's wishes. The gang of robbers who regard shamelessness as military discipline and taking advantage of advantages as their creed, and the man named Qi Ji with an unpredictable smile Just a bandit leader.
After Qian Zhong was forced back to his tent by the knife, he finally realized this.So much so that later he had to bear the pain in exchange for the chance to get out of this ghost place, and he will never forget the feeling when he stamped that letter paper... …
The pay has already arrived in Hancheng, of course, because the nearby Yucheng is his old den, he must have been crazy before hiding his money there......
--------
"Qi Shuai, you didn't see that old man's expression!" Wang Meng thumped the table and laughed.
Qi Yantang had already wiped off the blood on his face, put the scroll in his hand aside with a light smile, and shouted:
"Beware of getting angry."
"Marshal has a good plan, but this old guy will go back and report to the emperor..." Chu Nian frowned again.
"What do you think he will say?"
"I guess there won't be any good things to say."
"It's bad for him to say good things. The emperor trusts him is not the way to trust him." Qi Yantang said coldly.
Of course, Qian Zhong would not say anything good. He complained in a hurry, and naturally described how greedy and rude the Qi family army was. Of course, he also saved the million taels of silver that he paid for nothing. A lot of money is not normal after all.
"How much money did you spend rewarding the three armies?" Emperor Qing Jing actually only cared about this.
"Almost half of the slave's net worth, the slave has lost even the coffin!" Qian Zhong's muddy tears disappeared into the powdered creases.
Emperor Qing Jing frowned and snorted coldly:
"How many?"
Only then did Qian Zhong expect Ai Ai and said:
"A total of 10 taels."
Emperor Qing Jing looked at him with a half smile but not a smile:
"After so many years, you have earned quite a lot. Come on, put away your grievances, and you will be poor if you follow me?" 10 taels can't make any troubles, so Emperor Qing Jing can feel at ease now. .........
"Qi Ji is really seriously injured? Is there any possibility of recovery?" He confirmed again.
"Nine times out of ten, it's gone. That kid is also an idiot. For the sake of face, he has been blowing cold wind with the servant for two hours. After coming down, the servant at least saw him vomit a basin of blood! The servant even asked Military doctor, he's been wounded, he won't live long."
Emperor Qing Jing nodded contentedly, then glanced at him:
"After all, he is still my Generalissimo, pay attention to your wording." Having said that, but the smile on the corner of his mouth did not go away, Qian Zhong knew that his dragon fart was slapped.
The city wall is nearly a hundred miles away from the palace wall, and the vermilion-colored high wall has become darker and darker in the scouring of time. It is approaching midsummer, the sun is dazzling, and the green leaves in May are almost drying out.
The setting sun has not yet fully set, the bluestone slabs on the main road carry the afterglow of the sun, the wine flags are waving in the evening wind, and the smoky aroma of wine mixed with the smell of makeup and powder in Huajie floats far away.As soon as the curtains were drawn at night, an unexplained decadent atmosphere filled the whole city.
Nanjin hadn't won a battle for many years, and when the news of the victory came, the whole city and even the whole country were dizzy, as if they had been drinking peach blossom wine for a long time, and they were a little intoxicated.
Emperor Qing Jing was no exception. That night in the palace city, he was holding a wine glass to watch the audience singing and dancing leisurely, but he almost dropped the luminous glass in his hand after the personal eunuch whispered for a while.
"She won't come?"
"The princess said that he is not feeling well." The eunuch's words were so yin and yang that the emperor snorted coldly, obviously not believing it.
But he couldn't attack, Qi Yantang held heavy soldiers, although there were a lot of forbidden soldiers in the imperial city, these coddled soldiers would not be the opponents of Qi's army, although the emperor was proud, he still had this self-knowledge.It's not that he doesn't worry about whether Qi Yantang will rebel, especially after he has gained such military exploits, he was uneasy when the military power was given to him, but no matter how uneasy he is, there is nothing he can do, someone has to take over this hot potato.
What's more, Qi Yantang will not rebel, as long as Qi Yanwei is still in his hands, he will not rebel.Thinking of this, Emperor Qing Jing's shoulders loosened slowly, snorted, and let Qi Yanwei's ignorance and flattery go unchecked.
He felt that he was extremely wise, no matter how powerful Qi Ji was, what was the use, if he had to obediently tease him in his palm.
Every emperor wants to live forever, and Emperor Qingjing's desire in this regard is particularly strong. It's a pity that the great master doesn't care about him, but he is destined by destiny. When Qi Ji was old and decayed, the second spring of his life had just begun, let's see how he would fight against him when the time came...
He took a sip of the wine in his glass, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled contentedly.
It's just that Qi Yantang probably has only one judgment on his thoughts:
This old man is crazy on drugs.
He doesn't have the time to care about this stupid old man who is addicted to drugs. The wind in Yansai City is fierce. He is wearing a windbreaker and facing the sun, concentrating on studying with a handful of loess.
Of course, the windbreaker on his body is not as refined and elegant as it would be hundreds of years later, but he is dressed in a coarse cloth gown. He didn't study any bullish majors such as economics and chemical engineering before. I was distracted, and I feel a little regretful. He studied agricultural genetics and breeding, which should be of some use. Unfortunately, he was not in the senior grade when he came here, and he hadn't been exposed to deeper professional knowledge. He has followed suit for a long time. The idea of learning in advance has never arisen.
Fortunately, some basic concepts are still there. Should I be glad that there is no high-tech technology such as genetic breeding at this time...
Qi Yantang curled his lips mockingly, let go of his five fingers, and let the dry sand powder in his palm disperse... He squinted his eyes, rubbed the remaining sand with his fingertips, the air was too dry.
The climate in Yansai City is very extreme, with two distinct seasons of dry and rainy seasons, strong sunshine, serious land leakage, and difficulty in water storage. The soil has been severely salinized over the years, making it difficult for crops to survive on such land.He sighed, looked at the vast wilderness, and felt that there was a long way to go......
But when I came back, I received a surprise:
"Some people say that the soil quality here can be improved?" Qi Yantang confirmed with raised eyebrows.
"Back to Marshal, the man's attitude is unclear, and he himself is not sure, maybe he is uttering wild words."
"Just bring it up."
After a while, a thin man with a worried expression was brought up.
Qi Yantang stood up and greeted him with a pleasant voice:
"What's your opinion, sir?"
"Don't dare to be a grassroots!" The man said in trepidation, seeing Qi Yantang's gentle expression without any coercion, under his repeated reassurance, he boldly said:
"The soil in Yansai City is too salty, and the crops that grow here will be burned to death. If the land can be lightened a bit, although it can't become a land of fish and rice, it won't be as bad as it is now."
"Do you have a way to desalinate?"
"Grass people are not talented... Yansai is vast and sparsely populated. The method of grass people needs to dig blind ditches, set up water wells, and build sand pillars. The large project cannot be completed in a day..." He rubbed Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he hesitated and said:
"It may not be able to cover the entire land of Yansai...not to mention..." Yansai City is poor, quite poor, and that is the worst.
"It doesn't matter, sir."
"......There is no money and no one in the city..." The man uttered these words after holding back for a long time.
Qi Yantang paused for a moment, then said lightly:
"You don't need to worry about these things, sir. You only need to tell us the solution. Naturally, this commander won't let this problem bother you."
The man took a reassurance, looked at Qi Yantang, and thought of so many years of research, his heart was agitated, and he began to talk eloquently:
"I came up with this method when I saw that the rainwater seeped into the soil on a rainy day. The soil became saltier because it couldn't drain... I have also told others before that the water should be drained. , and then use fresh rainwater to wash the soil and make it dilute..." He became more and more excited as he talked, and even danced when he talked about how to build blind canals and dig water wells.
Qi Yantang inexplicably thought of the old professor who taught him in the past, he was also a person who couldn't stop talking, his eyes were quite subtle......
--------
In the big tent, Qi Yantang heard Wang Meng's arrogant voice from far away:
"Come on, carry these in!"
He smiled knowingly, and lazily leaned back into the chair covered with tiger skin. After a while, Wang Meng and Chu Nian lifted the curtain and walked in:
"See the Marshal!"
Qi Yantang waved his hands and said with a smile:
"how?"
Wang Meng laughed loudly:
"Qi Shuai, don't tell me, that old boy's face is almost turning green, but his subordinate put the knife aside, he didn't even dare to fart!"
Qi Yantang raised his eyebrows, looked at Chu Nian again, and said with a smile:
"This is not an exaggeration, but we firmly occupy the side of morality. It is not a secret that Yansai City does not have the support of the imperial court. If you don't want the city to be destroyed and hurt yourself, Jilu City must show some sincerity."
"But in this way, the city lord of Jilu City will surely repay the loss to the people in the city." The military master lifted the curtain and sighed pretending to be worried.
"Isn't that what Marshal Zheng He intended?" Several people looked at each other and smiled.
The bankrupt peasants have become refugees, and it is imperative to find another place to live. As a neighboring city, Yansai is remote and wild, but there are heavy troops guarding it. The policies promulgated by Qi Yantang are more attractive than him in the whole country. up.
This morning Wang Meng led a team of hundreds of people directly into Jilu City. The murderous hundreds of people were still full of iron and blood killing spirit after the war. Everyone's face was gloomy. Although they didn't say a word, they clearly had a meaning , give money or rob.
As the saying goes, those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Nowadays, the entire Yansai City is very bachelor. Under the coercion and coaxing of Wang Meng and Chu Nian, the old blood of the city lord of Jilu had no choice but to Swallow it yourself.Even though I didn't know how many bad words I swear by these shameless soldiers behind my back.
The people in these tents said that it was not painful, not to mention that the military division had another good news:
"The imperial court exempted Yan Sai from taxes for five years."
Qi Yantang scoffed:
"Can Yansai City still pay the tax?"
But this is also good news, he still doesn't have the energy to deal with the exploitation of those blood-sucking worms.
"Who are they going to send?" Qi Yantang asked again.
"Qian Zhong."
Qian Zhong is the great eunuch next to Emperor Qing Jing, and he is also a legendary figure. There are rumors that he was an eunuch and got involved with the concubine of the Supreme Emperor before Emperor Qing Jing ascended the throne. After the incident, the Supreme Emperor did not want him He was killed, but he was eunuched again.It is said that the concubine was once a thorn in the side of Qingjing's mother and concubine, so the twists and turns behind her back can make people guess for three days and three nights.
Now he is the most powerful person around Emperor Qing Jing, yet Emperor Qing Jing would actually send him here.Qi Yantang really didn't care that he was an eunuch, and sent him here to insult or something, he was just curious that this eunuch who had been raised in the prosperous village for so long was interested in running to this barbaric place.
"My subordinates have spread rumors that our army has handed over a lot of spoils from the East Tatar. They are all rare goods, and there are also the generous help from the surrounding cities. Today's Yansai City is a golden bun."
Seeing Qi Yantang looking at him with a half-smile, he smiled calmly and said:
"What's more, the most important thing is that this old dog came here with the intention of being famous forever. The emperor also needs a confidant to find out the real situation of Yansai today. The two of them hit it off right away."
Hearing this, Qi Yantang pursed his lips, and a cold light flashed in his eyes:
"Since we're here, let's treat this father-in-law well, and order it to go down and arrange it. Don't let people leave disappointed."
Sending eunuchs to reward the three armies was the first absurd thing in the history, but Emperor Qing Jing had done a lot of absurd things over the years, and such a thing was not enough to make everyone chatter after dinner.
Qian Zhong came very quickly, afraid that if he was a step too late, all the treasures would be blown away, and the ostentation was full, and the long line was mighty, and in the name of the emperor, he naturally couldn't lose his momentum. He said so, and Emperor Qingjing also thought that Of course.
It's just that he rushed for a month, and finally arrived at Yansai City, but he didn't receive the respectful and dignified welcome line he had imagined. Before reaching the city gate, he felt a little bit dissatisfied.
What the hell kind of place is this? Qian Zhong felt a little nervous. Is there really a treasure in such a poor place?The strong wind with the smell of sand tore apart a rotten lantern on the street. There were not many people in the long street. They didn't seem to have seen their convoy. Everyone's face was rubbed by fate. After the abuse, the heart is numb as if dead.
Qian Zhong suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave, but after receiving the emperor's order, he could only bite the bullet and go forward, and finally there was someone to greet him.
But Qian Zhong's joy that had just risen was scattered by the man's ragged attire in the blink of an eye, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze. The expression on his face came towards him.
"My lord, father-in-law! You've come!" The man wiped away two muddy tears from the corners of his eyes. He burst into a smile and said eagerly:
"We are eagerly looking forward to waiting for you, Marshal, Marshal..." His voice suddenly choked up, and he continued:
"The marshal is waiting for you, too. He is in the big tent. Please wait for a while. The marshal is inconvenient to get up. It's definitely not that he didn't come to greet you on purpose!"
"Wait, wait!" Qian Zhong grabbed the old man who kept pulling him in, and asked:
"you are?"
"Hey, look at the villain's memory. The villain is Lin Lang, the military adviser here. Father-in-law can call you whatever you want." There is no respect at all in this land boundary. Qian Zhong looked at his dirty cuffs with disgust, and couldn't help thinking. The urge to push it away, but this hand was very firm, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't get up and down several times but failed, he was depressed for a long time, and made several notes to Qi Jiajun in his heart.
"How is Qi Shuai's recovery?" His voice seemed to come from his nose, and there was always an unspeakable arrogance.
He had just finished asking when he saw the sadness appearing on Lin Lang's face instantly, his eyeballs were bulging, and he heard him say:
"Qi Shuai...he was shot in the vitals. Although he managed to save his life, he has been bedridden for several days. Everyone in the camp is short of food and medicine. Those of us who are subordinates are incompetent... incompetent!" He sobbed as he spoke.
Qian Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out:
"Didn't you pay a lot of treasures from Dongda?"
Lin Lang looked at him blankly:
"Eunuch, do you mean the pile of rusty iron boards? Or the dead horse meat that was dragged back?"
Holding his breath in his throat, the blood burned on his cheeks, Qian Zhong suddenly remembered the news that the spies in his hands came back that night, he was very confident that they would never dare to deceive him, not to mention the truth after drinking. He couldn't control it, so he collected himself, squinted his eyes and stared at Lin Lang, trying to make his fat old face look more majestic and unpredictable.
He didn't believe a word the old man said!The more he hides, the more it proves that there is a ghost here, Qian Zhongxin secretly laughed, with a worried expression on his face:
"Money is a dead thing. It delays Qi Shuai's injury. It's a small loss. Lucheng has always been rich. I heard that they have given you a lot of support..." He looked at Lin meaningfully. Lang, don't miss every change in his expression, as long as there is a clue......
Lin Lang folded his brows together, and said in confusion:
"It's true...it's just that the dozen or so stones of grain and grass they supported are really not enough to feed the entire camp. This year, natural disasters have continued, and the harvest in Lucheng is not good, so we didn't dare to ask for more brazenly... ..." He laughed in shame.
Qian Zhong suddenly clenched his fists and forced a smile from between his teeth:
"That's it...you go down first, and when Qi Shuai wakes up, let me know, and I'll take a stroll in the camp first." He didn't believe it!
Lin Lang immediately showed a embarrassed expression, watching him hesitate to speak.
Qian Zhong was overjoyed, and thought to himself: Sure enough, the more he doesn't want me to see it, the more I want to see it. I'll see who can stop the imperial court's imperial envoy.
"It's not impossible, but I hope that the father-in-law will bring more people. There is still some chaos in the camp after the war."
Qian Zhong's expression froze:
"Chaos? What kind of chaos law?"
"There are countless soldiers killed and injured, and now there are more refugees from the city in the camp... Qi Shuai is bedridden, and the remaining generals in the camp are really powerless to restrain..." He smiled shyly, his eyes sincere Looking at Qian Zhong:
"But the father-in-law is surrounded by people with high martial arts skills, so it's no problem to deal with these outrageous people."
Qian Zhongdeng was in a bad mood at the time, his eyes wandered around the camp, and all he saw was a pile of dirty rags mixed with strange colors, and he had a little doubt in his heart that there would be treasures in this ghost place, but he Without showing it on his face, he coughed:
"nature."
--------
After less than an hour of shopping, Qian Zhong ran back in a hurry, almost as if he had fled.He had never met such a terrifying refugee in his life, and he was panting heavily, with lingering fear in his heart.Each of them is like a ghost crawling back from the corpse pile on the battlefield. None of the mortals with high martial arts skills around him is the opponent of this group of ghosts.
"Elder-in-law." A voice sounded out of nowhere.
Qian Zhong jumped up, stared at the person who came in, and asked in a rough voice:
"what's up?"
"Qi Shuai is awake and looking for you!"
Qian Zhong flicked his sleeves, pretended to be calm and snorted, and raised his chin with a straight face to signal the man to lead the way.
After entering the handsome tent, he smelled a strong smell of medicine, which made people's eyes dark. He squeezed his nose tightly and walked in, and saw Qi Yantang half leaning on the simple bedside, looking pale and weak.Seeing him like this, Qian Zhong felt a lot of balance in his heart, but he was still a little angry. He came all the way to this place where birds don't lay eggs, and they didn't even serve hot tea. Those gangsters are domineering in front of him!Thinking of this, his face turned dark immediately, Shi Shiran walked to the only chair in the tent and sat down, looking at Qi Yantang proudly with his chin raised.
He might have plans to get up to greet him, but Qian Zhong is not so sure, because he didn't seem to be so sincere in his struggle. He propped himself up a few centimeters away from the bed and lay back down. Qian Zhong couldn't be sure it was him. He was really weak so far because he was pretending, he didn't say anything, and planned to wait and see what happened, but he listened to the nervous dissuasion of the old man named Lin Lang:
"Qi Shuai, please lie down quickly. You have worked so hard for the country and the people, and your father-in-law has a kind heart, how can you bear to care about a momentary courtesy?!"
Qian Zhong choked again, seeing the people in the tent staring at him suddenly, he said yes with a false smile.
So Qi Yantang no longer struggled, he lay back on the bed, and smiled weakly at Qian Zhong:
"My father-in-law still remembers to come to see me, Qi Ji is very grateful."
"Qi Shuai is serious..." He rubbed his fingers, thinking to himself: Oh boy, this is the man that the emperor fears day and night. When I saw him a few years ago, he still looked like he had eyeballs on top of his head. The emperor doesn't know how happy he should be now that he has become like this... He also has today... There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, which was fleeting, because he saw a few people who followed him.
Qi Yantang also saw them, waved his hands feebly to signal them to ask someone to bring a stool in and sit down, then smiled with the corners of his mouth:
"Today is a good day...cough cough!" He coughed, panted and laughed again after calming down, looking at Qian Zhong's warm and moist eyes with great gratitude, Qian Zhong suddenly felt bad This bad feeling made him even forget his original intention of making money... Sure enough, he heard Qi Yantang's hoarse voice say again:
"Eunuch Qian inspected on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and came here specially from the imperial city to reward the three armies. Brothers' hard days are finally over!" He coughed excitedly again as he spoke.
A pale blue color suddenly appeared on Qian Zhong's face. He never expected that the majestic marshal of the three armed forces could say such words like a beggar. Subconsciously, he coughed dryly and evaded:
"Where, where..."
"What the marshal said was that his subordinates had already informed the whole army when they received the news. Everyone was eagerly looking forward to Eunuch Qian's arrival. Now that he finally came, brothers are so happy!" The man with the beard opened his mouth and laughed. When he wasn't smiling, he looked murderous and terrifying, but Qian Zhong didn't feel any better when he smiled.
He became a little restless, and things seemed to have gone in a strange direction. He originally planned to reward the sergeant Qi Yantang in exchange for those benefits, and he wouldn't give them too much. He wanted nothing but treasures, but now he even No baby smell!
"Nonsense!" Qi Yantang scolded lightly, but his tone did not imply much blame.
"I don't know how much money Eunuch Qian brought here this time?" Another mild-mannered soldier asked, his face full of anticipation and anxiety, his eyes staring at Qian Zhong without blinking, which made him very stressed.
Qian Zhong faltered, this number can't be said to be big.
"Hey, don't you need to say it? It has been spread throughout the camp. His Majesty is so generous that he approved a full 100 million taels of silver for Eunuch Qian, let alone ten carts of grain. I heard that they are already on the way. It's time to arrive in two days!" the bearded man said excitedly.
Qian Zhong became deaf for a moment, looked at them blankly, and said sharply:
"How many?!"
"One million taels, did I remember it wrong? Could it be two million?" The bearded man scratched his head and stared at him without blinking.
Qian Zhong didn't catch his breath:
"No..." Before he finished speaking, Qi Jicha said:
"Thank you Long Live Long En. It's a pity that this crippled minister is too weak to get out of bed, but when the father-in-law announces the Holy Grace to the three armies, Qi Ji will definitely be there even if his leg is broken!"
Qian Zhong was dumb all of a sudden........ This is Long En, the Holy Majesty, and he has nothing to do with him, but Emperor Qingjing will pay the money?He obviously didn't pay a dime!But can he say it?Who will believe it?He patrols on behalf of the emperor, what a shit job!
"Your Majesty has intentions, but this day is not as fast as the generals imagined. Please be considerate. After all, such a large sum of money will not arrive in a day or two." Some people are hypocritical and submissive.
"How can it be, the messenger we sent came back and said that it was almost to Hancheng, and Hancheng is only a two-day drive away, so my father-in-law is too worried." The bearded man replied without thinking.
"How is it possible!" Qian Zhong's voice suddenly rose an octave, and everyone swiped to look at him, Lin Lang said with a look of astonishment:
"Eunuch, what's wrong? Could it be that the holy will is wrong?"
Qian Zhong calmed down, laughed and said:
"Everyone knows that the country's treasury has been empty due to the turmoil of wars these years and the constant natural disasters..." Before he could finish speaking, a sword sound slid into his ears, and the hair on his neck stood up, almost Instinctively, he changed his language:
"But all the generals have made great contributions in defending the border, and they have worked hard. No matter how difficult it is, the imperial court will not treat you badly!"
Only then did the bearded man laugh out loud:
"I was scared to death. I thought there was something wrong. The whole army suffered heavy casualties. If something really happened, we didn't know how to explain it to the brothers. You also know that all these years, the brothers have become angry in wars. coming."
Qian Zhong nodded repeatedly with a pale face.
"Okay, take your temper, look at scaring Eunuch, Mr. Lang informs, and Eunuch Qian will reward the three armies in front of the whole army on behalf of the emperor two days later." Qi Yantang glared at the bearded man feigning anger, and then turned to the bearded man naturally. Lin Lang ordered.
"Two days, is it too urgent, Qi Shuai your body..." Lin Lang hesitated.
Qian Zhong nodded again and again, for two days, he didn't even have time to run far!
Qi Yantang shook his head, forced a smile and said:
"This is the first good thing in Yansai City in so many years. As long as I have breath, I will never let it go wrong!"
"Where is Qi Shuai, where can I go if I am here? Your health is critical, you should rest for a few more days, Nan Jin's safety depends on you alone!" Qian Zhong hastily persuaded.
Qi Yantang glanced at him, his eyes seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Qian Zhong almost thought it was his hallucination. Seeing him, he took a breath and said:
"I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me."
Qian Zhongdeng felt cold all over his body.
He walked weakly, not knowing how he got out of the tent, against the bright sun, he asked another question without giving up:
"I heard that there are a lot of good things left in Dongta. Why don't you exchange them for some supplies? The life of the soldiers will not be so difficult."
"Hey..." The bearded man sighed heavily, glanced at him and replied:
"There are things, but no one wants them here. Is your father-in-law willing to change them?"
Qian Zhong rolled his eyes. Does it mean that there is no one in the imperial city? He asked anxiously:
"What is it, where is it?"
"Elder-in-law, do you really want it?" The bearded man had a strange and uncertain expression.
Qian Zhong choked, and said with a dry smile:
"If it's Tieden and horse meat..."
The bearded man shook his head:
"Of course it's more than that, but father-in-law, you have solved the urgent need of the whole army. I thank you on behalf of the brothers!" He looked at him sincerely, then recruited a small soldier, and smiled heartily:
"I want to tell everyone a good news. Eunuch Qian wants to spend money to buy the spoils we brought from the Dongta dog. Tell the chef that three chickens will be slaughtered tonight to make soup. You son of a bitch, it's been a long time since everyone has tasted the smell of meat. Already! Let everyone eat meat tonight!"
Three chickens... Qian Zhong's expression twisted for a moment, what did he say just now that the guy in front of him misunderstood... He just said to go and see for himself...
With tears in his eyes, he watched people stuff piles of broken fur, rusty stirrups and other things into the carriage he brought, choked up silently, and watched those brutal men with blood dripping from top to bottom put him in the carriage. The most valuable decorations in the house were stripped off... He was only aware of it at this moment... He was robbed... ...
He looked at the bearded man stiffly, he turned his head and cracked a mouthful of white teeth at him, his expression seemed to be grateful, but the white teeth glistened in the sun, embedded in the blood-red gums like a row of blood-stained white knives ......He silently looked away, already annoyed himself for this reckless request for countless times.
Let's go tonight, without anyone noticing!He hated in his heart, let the **** reward the three armies, go to hell!
How beautiful the thought is, how cruel the reality is.
This is an army that is poor, unruly, accustomed to robbing, good at buying and selling by force, and willing to misinterpret people's wishes. The gang of robbers who regard shamelessness as military discipline and taking advantage of advantages as their creed, and the man named Qi Ji with an unpredictable smile Just a bandit leader.
After Qian Zhong was forced back to his tent by the knife, he finally realized this.So much so that later he had to bear the pain in exchange for the chance to get out of this ghost place, and he will never forget the feeling when he stamped that letter paper... …
The pay has already arrived in Hancheng, of course, because the nearby Yucheng is his old den, he must have been crazy before hiding his money there......
--------
"Qi Shuai, you didn't see that old man's expression!" Wang Meng thumped the table and laughed.
Qi Yantang had already wiped off the blood on his face, put the scroll in his hand aside with a light smile, and shouted:
"Beware of getting angry."
"Marshal has a good plan, but this old guy will go back and report to the emperor..." Chu Nian frowned again.
"What do you think he will say?"
"I guess there won't be any good things to say."
"It's bad for him to say good things. The emperor trusts him is not the way to trust him." Qi Yantang said coldly.
Of course, Qian Zhong would not say anything good. He complained in a hurry, and naturally described how greedy and rude the Qi family army was. Of course, he also saved the million taels of silver that he paid for nothing. A lot of money is not normal after all.
"How much money did you spend rewarding the three armies?" Emperor Qing Jing actually only cared about this.
"Almost half of the slave's net worth, the slave has lost even the coffin!" Qian Zhong's muddy tears disappeared into the powdered creases.
Emperor Qing Jing frowned and snorted coldly:
"How many?"
Only then did Qian Zhong expect Ai Ai and said:
"A total of 10 taels."
Emperor Qing Jing looked at him with a half smile but not a smile:
"After so many years, you have earned quite a lot. Come on, put away your grievances, and you will be poor if you follow me?" 10 taels can't make any troubles, so Emperor Qing Jing can feel at ease now. .........
"Qi Ji is really seriously injured? Is there any possibility of recovery?" He confirmed again.
"Nine times out of ten, it's gone. That kid is also an idiot. For the sake of face, he has been blowing cold wind with the servant for two hours. After coming down, the servant at least saw him vomit a basin of blood! The servant even asked Military doctor, he's been wounded, he won't live long."
Emperor Qing Jing nodded contentedly, then glanced at him:
"After all, he is still my Generalissimo, pay attention to your wording." Having said that, but the smile on the corner of his mouth did not go away, Qian Zhong knew that his dragon fart was slapped.
