My country is dead again [Rebirth]

"What does your majesty want to tell me?" Shen Ci has already seen through that little trick since he knew that Xie Ruzhuo was reborn, but he put on a puzzled look on his face, "Isn't your majesty tired after traveling for so long?" ?”

Tired is naturally tired, but it depends on who you are with, Xie Ruzhuo innocently and ignorantly blinked a pair of peach blossom eyes, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I haven't seen General Shen for a long time, no matter how tired I am, I still want to have a conversation with General Shen."

Shen Ci also smiled calmly, and said: "Well, let Your Majesty speak."

Xie Ruzhuo pursed his lips, held Shen Ci's hand, and said in a muffled voice, as if he had been wronged: "As soon as you leave, the cabinet and those civil servants stare at me alone, and I have to make false claims with them every day. Calculations and calculations... Am I doing something wrong to investigate the guards? Why do they disagree with me on what I want to do...Although I am the emperor, I often feel that everything I do is wrong ..."

Speaking of the latter, Xie Ruzhuo's voice was as light as a mosquito's gnat, his eyes were red, he lowered his head and bit his lips lightly, as if he had really held back the great grievance and had nowhere to say.

A few months ago, Shen Ci would have been terribly distressed and eaten to death by Xie Ruzhuo, but now he is the one who knows the truth. Silent.

Xie Ruzhuo, you can act.

How could an emperor who had been reborn and knew everything well be intimidated by this trick of the cabinet?Now, should he, the emperor, be wronged or the cabinet be wronged?

Xie Ruzhuo didn't wait for Shen Ci to comfort him for a while, and he held his hand tighter in a panic, his eye circles became redder, and asked eagerly in a low voice: "General Shen, do you feel the same way? You also feel, feel that I do Is everything wrong?"

Sensing that Xie Ruzhuo's hands were trembling slightly, Shen Ci sighed silently, after all, there was still a sour feeling of distress. Xie Ruzhuo was still afraid that he would go far away and stand on the other side of the sky like in his previous life. The means are all to grab his heart.

"No, I will never feel that way." Shen Ci held Xie Ruzhuo's hand instead, "Don't be sad, Your Majesty, it's because they don't understand what His Majesty does, but I can understand, knowing that His Majesty is doing all this For Dayu, everything is right."

Xie Ruzhuo seemed to be waiting for Shen Ci's comforting words, a shy smile appeared in his eyes as soon as he heard it, his face was slightly red, but he couldn't hide his joy, and said softly: "General Shen is the best. "

Can you be so happy with just a word of coaxing?

After knowing the truth, Shen Ci looked at Xie Ruzhuo's various behaviors, and had a different feeling.

Xie Ruzhuo in the previous life could at most pretend to be cold and angry in front of him because he wanted to reconcile but couldn't hold back his face, but he would not deliberately pretend to be pitiful and wronged to make him feel distressed and beg him to comfort him.

This kind of Xie Ruzhuo is strange and cute, looking at it, I want to laugh, but I can't help but overflow with some kind of itchy and unbearable impulse.

Xie Ruzhuo did all this because he was in his heart, how could he not make him happy?

When he looked at Xie Ruzhuo's face again, he already felt that something was wrong. The light red lips were like fresh and delicate flowers, waiting for someone to pick them. The two blushes on the smooth jade face were the temptation of nakedness. , I want people to rub it twice, the peach blossom eyes with trembling eyelashes and slightly watery light are secret hints, I want people to imprint a kiss lightly.

The evil fire rushed up without warning, Shen Citeng stood up from the stool, the movement was too much and the stool fell down, and stammered: "I... Your Majesty must be tired. Early, early rest."

Xie Ruzhuo raised his head in bewilderment, Shen Ci had already turned around quickly, and rushed out of the door with lightning speed, leaving a white wind behind.

Shen Ci, who rushed out the door, returned to the room in a daze, sat on the bed and calmed down for a long time, if he couldn't remember what was written in the Diamond Sutra Great Compassion Mantra, he would have started to recite the mantra.

It's terrible, obviously he should spend his time watching Xie Ruzhuo's acting, why the more he watched it, the more he liked Xie Ruzhuo's shameless acting, watching the play made his heart flutter, and finally went back to the past, and was eaten to death by Xie Ruzhuo dead.

Xie Ruzhuo is a vixen, right?

During the day, Du Ruo went to Song Qingge's place as usual and came back. Hearing that Xie Ruzhuo was checking Weishan's roster and account books, he hurried over to help.

Outside the house, Song Qing hesitated to speak, but finally let him in. Only after entering the house did he know what he was doing when he wanted to speak.

Inside, only Shen Ci accompanied Xie Ruzhuo, and a small table was newly moved by the window. Xie Ruzhuo sat there to write and read. Shen Ci was probably dragged here by Xie Ruzhuo. There was a booklet spread out in front of him, but his eyelids were drooping. He propped his head on his hands, trying to sleep or not.

Xie Ruzhuo looked sideways at Shen Ci, smiled and poked a pen on his forehead, drawing a light ink mark on it, he opened his eyes in trouble, touched the ink mark on his forehead, and leaned over to Xie Ruzhuo with a smile After saying something in a low voice, the two of them squeezed their heads together, they couldn't care less about doing other things, Xie Ruzhuo's pen rolled to the ground unknowingly.

Du Ruo: "..."

So why is he here?

Du Ruo faintly felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit weird, but after all, he didn't think too deeply about it. He stepped forward to greet him, and said, "It's good that these booklets come to check, Your Majesty doesn't have to work so hard."

"It's okay to be idle, just find something to do for yourself." Xie Ruzhuo coughed, separated from Shen Ci, picked up the pen that fell on the floor, "Sir, sit down."

Shen Ci looked at Xie Ruzhuo with questioning eyes, wondering if he should go out, Xie Ruzhuo shook his head, and squeezed his hand, just not letting him go.

"One Weishan can embezzle tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. If the entire Suifang is checked, the treasury will have another sum of money." After checking the three volumes, next year the military expenditure can be allocated a little less."

Du Ruo couldn't help laughing, and said: "The minister also took a rough look. There are ten guards and seven guards in Suifang, and each guard is rated at 600 people, but in fact, only two-thirds of the total number of people in Weishan is really counted. The remaining one-third has been found and no such person has been found." He pointed to the account book again, and continued, "Not all the money embezzled by the guard is military expenses, in fact, there is a lot of grain silver from the farm. The guard farm is self-sufficient. Self-sufficiency, but 30 years ago, the taste has changed. The grain silver has been exploited into the hands of officers, and the imperial court dare not touch this force. Therefore, it has to allocate more military expenses to the local guards every year, and it is in a dead end. "

"The Guards Army is a tiankeng." Xie Ruzhuo just wanted to let out a long cry at this time, even if he lived a new life, he was still so annoyed by this shit, "Emperor Tai Zu proudly said that he could feed without costing a grain of rice. He has an army of millions, but he does not know that the Guards Army he created will be the most difficult problem for the court to deal with after a hundred years.”[1]

"Since His Majesty wants to investigate, there should be a plan." Du Ruo was very relaxed, and seemed to be blindly confident in Xie Ruzhuo, "This matter will definitely be resolved properly."

Shen Ci was confused, he was from the Guards Army, and he had seen these problems himself, but he couldn't say how to solve them, so he could only keep silent. Seeing Xie Ruzhuo's upset, he patted the hand nearby to say goodbye Appease.

"It has been 100 years, and it is likely to be really painful if it is to be completely changed. This is also a kind of helplessness for latecomers. Everyone wants to change, but the change itself is a deadly battle. Most of the time There is no result. If there are too many things, one link after another, and the thick soil accumulated for more than a hundred years must be eradicated from the bottom, if you are not careful, it will lead to landslides." Xie Ruzhuo sighed, "So I will not Change, today's Dayu can't stand a huge change, all I can do is to support the mountains that are about to collapse, tighten every inch of land, slow down the speed of landslides, other things... It depends on my future the creation of the

Du Ruo is often as surprised and strange as Sun Bingde. Sometimes Xie Ruzhuo's words really don't come from a young man's mouth, like an elder who has experienced many winds, frosts and swords, and has seen all the vicissitudes of his life. After a moment, he nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right, and I think so too. The guard house has been in existence for more than a hundred years. There are advantages and disadvantages. The foundation is too thick to be changed. All we can do is to repair the loopholes and weaken the disadvantages as much as possible."

Xie Ruzhuo yawned a little, didn't sleep at noon and was still a little sleepy, said: "The most important thing is that the court is short of money, short of money! Otherwise, why am I so anxious to check the guard?"

"Did Zabusu give the 5 taels later?" Shen Ci smiled and asked, "How can 10 taels be enough for a while?"

"Yes, I did. If he dares to go back on his word, I won't let him go." Xie Ruzhuo snorted, "But do you think 10 taels is a lot? For a country, 10 taels can't do much. I owed so much salary before, and after the reissue, I used it to subsidize the three major battalions. The firearms of the Shenji battalion were changed, the three thousand battalion needed new horses, the fifth army battalion had new weapons, and the Qingmu River area. After the war, people need to be resettled, and land reclamation is encouraged to do business. Really, there is nothing left in the morning of 10 taels, and half of the treasury is empty.”

Shen Ci was speechless, and felt more and more distressed for Xie Ruzhuo. For him, 10 taels was money that he would never use up in his lifetime. To the emperor, it was just a small amount that would be wiped out with a wave of his sleeves.

"Is there no tax in Suifang every month?" Shen Ci asked again, "Didn't you also promise Zabusu to open a trade route? Is there no money for the trade route?"

Xie Ruzhuo had a heartbroken expression on his face, "You don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt if you are not in charge of the family", and said: "Suifang's tax revenue is enough for Suifang to be self-sufficient, what else can it leave for the imperial court? The commercial route is not controlled by the imperial court, how can it be done?" All the money has gone into the imperial court’s pockets, Suifang’s border has been unstable for many years, and business needs to be properly stimulated, the imperial court should let go a lot in recent years, encourage non-governmental exchanges and trade, it is not appropriate to intervene too much, and naturally it cannot be used to make money.”

Shen Ci scratched his head, and also felt that the lack of money was a troublesome thing, and said, "Then what should I do? Can I still rob other people's money?"

"Are you a bandit?" Xie Ruzhuo sneered, "There is always a way. After rectifying the guards, business and farming in various places are on the right track, and you will gradually become rich."

Du Ruo was amused by the conversation between the two, looked at the stack of books, remembered something, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Song Zongbing seems to want to do something."

"As expected." Xie Ruzhuo calmly put the booklets on the table together, "We've been pretending here for several days, he should understand something."

The author has something to say: [1] Quoted from "Continued Documents General Test" Zhu Yuanzhang: "I raise millions of soldiers, and I don't spend a grain of rice on the people." It means that all the guards are self-sufficient and do not need the people to support them.

Xiao Xie: Why did General Shen run away? It’s so confusing.

Mother (in a very low voice): He has ghs in his mind, so he ying.

Xiao Shen: I almost died
