Long live the general

After Baiguan left, the rest? Only Huo Yi, Li Yi and Zhang Laiqian.

Zhou Zhenyan cast a gloomy glance at Zhang Laiqian and said, "Zhang Qing, do you have anything to say about the military ration exchange case?"

Zhang Laiqian lowered his head: "I don't know."

"As the chief minister, you are responsible for this matter from the beginning to the end. You say you don't know?" The emperor's tone was already dangerous: "Give me a reason not to punish you."

In fact, Zhang Laiqian is very suspicious of this matter. There are not many people in the court who are capable of exchanging food and grass.Even if it wasn't done by Zhang Laiqian, some of his subordinates were also involved, and there was at least one charge of ineffective supervision.

Zhang Laiqian was not in a panic, the emperor did not punish him in public, but was going to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes.

"The matter of transporting food in the army is very involved. It is not only the Secretary for Agriculture, but also the Taiwei's appointment to the Changshi, and the imperial envoy to the Yushicheng." Zhang Laiqian talked eloquently, and his thinking was very clear. : "Your Majesty's Northern Expedition, dispatching the army, not only needs to use the treasury, but also collects money and food from the people all over the world. The Department of Agriculture will collect the food and grass, and then send it to the army for distribution. Yu Shicheng is in charge of the whole process. "

Taiwei is the highest military position, assessing the achievements of military officers across the country, and also serving as the emperor's military adviser, but he cannot directly command the army. The real commanders are the generals and the school lieutenants.Changshi is a subordinate organization under the Taiwei, assisting the Taiwei in his work, and has no specific responsibilities.The Yushi Cheng is an official position under the Yushi stage, mainly responsible for supervising the various armies and school battalions.

Therefore, many people were involved in the military ration matter, and bureaucrats have always had the habit of shirking responsibility and shirking each other. Especially, the more people and institutions involved, the worse things will be... It must be difficult to investigate this accident.

Huo Yi thought to himself, maybe Zhao Cheng will face Ting Wei's obstruction, but his temper is harder than a rock, and he doesn't know how big waves will be caused in this pool of stagnant water.

Zhao Cheng's sharp and thin face like a blade flashed across his mind, and he heard Zhang Laiqian continue: "Is there no problem with the army rations before they are handed over to the camp? Thousands of horses and grasses, [-] grains and [-] grains were transported through the five counties in the south, including [-] grains in the national treasury; the grains and grasses that were handed over to the cavalry in front of you..."

He has a tendency to tell the origin, quantity, route and responsible personnel of all the food and grass. Zhang Laiqian's voice is as light as others', but the content is clear and detailed. Zhou Zhenyan waved his hand to stop him: " Write it down, and give it to me tomorrow... and get another copy for Zhao Cheng."

"Relevant personnel and sources of grain and grass have already been recorded. I will hand them over to His Majesty." Zhang Laiqian said blankly, hehe, I won't be able to sleep again tonight.

Zhou Zhenxie thought for a while and said, "This matter in advance? There is no rush. The original date of the expedition is March [-]rd, and there are still five days left. You first? Replenish the food and grass of the two armies. The expedition? Time cannot be postponed, and changes will happen if it is delayed.”

He and Huo Yi have the same idea, the top priority at the moment? To ensure the normal march of the army.

Zhang Laiqian was full of anger that "this matter has nothing to do with me, but I ended up cleaning up the mess", and his voice became more and more drifting: "Has the tax been collected once? Even if it is collected, it will not be shipped in time."

Zhou Zhen pondered for a moment: "Directly use the grain stored in the treasury."

Huo Yi frowned: "Your Majesty, think twice. Ah." It is very important to store grain in the treasury. The territory of Dayue is very large, with more than 50 counties. In different regions, there will be floods, fires, and severe droughts from time to time. , Famine, extreme cold, locust plague, earthquake, plague, etc., after the accident, it is necessary to use the money and stored food in the treasury to solve the problem, distribute food, and resettle the victims.If the national treasury is not sufficient, the ability to respond to disasters will become extremely poor.

Every grain of grain was planted by farmers from the fields. No matter how anxious the emperor was, he could not conjure grain out of thin air.

Li Yi moved to Huo Yi's side? Damn, whispered, "Getting food and grass is so troublesome."

Huo Yi looked at it suspiciously? He glanced: "It's always been like this." General Li marched and fought, and he never cared about the food and grass in the rear.

Li Yixin thought, the army is funded by the imperial court, and the food officials are in charge of how to use it on the battlefield? He just cares about fighting, so how can he have any thoughts? Find out where the food and grass come from, and just make sure it is enough to eat. ?.

If Zhou Zhenyan forcibly withdraws food from the treasury, no one can stop him.He glanced at Huo Yi, and General Huo said seriously: "Your Majesty, every June there will be floods in Wuchang County, and there will be news of locust plagues in the north. The money in the treasury needs to be prevented before it happens."

Zhang Laiqian went on to say: "Your Majesty, there are more than [-] million yuan in tax revenue every year, excluding the salaries of hundreds of officials, military expenses and engineering costs..."

The emperor's face was condensed, no one knew that he suddenly had an idea: Should the salary be cut?The salary of the prime minister alone is ten thousand shi, enough to feed the army for how long, and those doctors who don't do anything every day will only add to his troubles...

This impulsive and tempting idea was forcibly suppressed by him, Zhou Zhenyan knocked on the table and said, "Call me the Shaofu!"

The Shaofu is in charge of the expenses in the palace and supports the emperor. In other words, Zhou Zhenzhen is going to use his private money.

The matter of stealing and exchanging grain and grass, because Huo Yi discovered it? In time, those grain and grass must still be hidden in Chang'an City. As long as Zhao Cheng finds out, it can naturally be confiscated and put into storage.

After the Shaofu came, he finally filled the hole, but the treasury still had to pay a part, and Zhang Laiqian personally supervised the rest.

After the meeting, Zhang Laiqian stood up flutteringly, exuding the aura of "don't mess with me".

Huo Yi used to clean up the mess for the people below, and he understood Zhang Dasinong's pain very well. He said sincerely: "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Laiqian raised his eyelids: "The only thing I can manage is money. I'll do my best." If Huo Yi hadn't discovered this matter in advance, the longer it dragged on, the more difficult it would be to deal with it. Then Zhang Laiqian would be the real deal? Can't get rid of? Suspicion.

Five days later, on the third day of March, the four armies set off at the same time, going to the four border counties respectively, piercing into the desert like spikes.

Huo Yi lived in the barracks for more than half a month, and only returned before departure? A trip to Huo's mansion.As soon as he went back, he saw Huo Lingyue sitting in the yard reading a book. Although he didn't sit down and looked very impatient, this scene was enough to shock and move Huo Yi.

Huo Lingyue has never read a book on her own initiative!

Huo Yi walked over carefully, even though the time was urgent, he waited for a while, while Huo Lingyue was flipping through the book, he asked, "Xiaoyue, read a book."

Huo Lingyue raised her head and subconsciously wanted to hide the book behind her back. She said subtly, "Just take a look."

"Why do you think of reading?" Huo Yi's tone was extremely gentle. He glanced at it, and it was still a very serious history book.Is Xiaoyue suddenly enlightened??Is it taught by Master? Good?still……

Huo Lingyue said: "Brother Menghe recommended it? I went to play with him that day. He was reading a book, and then..."

Huo Yi:! ! !

He didn't come home for only half a month, so Xiaoyue called him brother? !

Huo Yi's mood was extremely complicated. When the family had dinner at night, he asked about this, and Cong Yunmeng happily said, "Yes, and the second young master of the Li family, they often play together. .”

Cong Yunmeng is very happy that her granddaughter has two friends. She can see that the two children are excellent and sincere people. Two such friends are enough?

Huo Yi felt like he missed it again? The moment of his niece's growth, after a moment of melancholy, he said, "Mother, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Cong Yunmeng's hand shook slightly, and asked, "How long will it be?"

"I'll be back soon." Huo Yi's attitude was more calm than before: "Mother, you can enjoy yourself at home, and I will definitely come back before this winter. From now on, we can spend the Lantern Festival together every year. "

"Really good, really good..." Cong Yunmeng turned his head and covered his reddish eye circles with his hands: "Is there going to be a war? I also heard the wind. It's okay, let's Eat the country's salary, you should share the country's worries, but you have to take care of yourself..."

She stood up slowly and said, "I have something for you."

Huo Yi waiting outside? After a while, Huo Lingyue waited with him, holding a book in his hand, and occasionally asked him a few questions.

"Which story do you like best?" Huo Yi asked curiously.

"The Xia Dynasty appointed Li Yan as a general. He defeated the Huns for the first time. The Emperor Xia rewarded him with a thousand gold horse and a house."

Huo Yi thought to himself that it was auspicious to hear this story before going out for the expedition. He smiled? "Do you know that Li Yan is a famous general of the Xia Dynasty, who has won many victories and is good at surprise attacks... Besides, he is General Li Yi Of? Grandparents."

Huo Lingyue's eyes widened, and she couldn't connect Li Yi with the famous general who was good at intrigue.

Huo Yi understood? With her expression, she quickly helped General Li regain some face: "In fact, General Li is still very powerful in fighting."

In Huo Yi's heart, among the current generals of Dayue, Li Yi is considered to be the top group, and Murong Yuan and Zhao Ping'an are not as good as him.

"Do you like daughters, good horses, or houses?" Huo Yi asked with a smile.

Huo Lingyue shook? Shaking his head: "If I have a very powerful general in my hand, I will definitely give him a golden horse... I just think they are so good?"

She lowered her head and continued to read the book. She was full of resentment towards those treacherous officials and villains, and felt sad for the "displaced" people of the Xia Dynasty, and her emotions gradually fell into the world in the book.

Huo Yi was silent because of her words? After a while, Cong Yunmeng came out holding a long sword case.

"Mother, let me help you." Huo Yi stepped forward, and Cong Yunmeng turned slightly to avoid his hand, and said, "Mother forged this sword for you a long time ago. I'm going to go to the battlefield to be loyal to the country, but I'm just a mother? Is it inevitable that I have a little selfishness? That's all..."

She signaled Huo Yi to open the sword case, and inside lay a three-foot-six-inch? sword with a white blade wrapped in a black-gold scabbard.

Four words are engraved on the hilt of the sword: Longevity and longevity.

The author has something to say:

Zhang Laiqian: So I am the real overtime worker in the end, right?
