Chapter 134: Two Months
That night, when Yu Yu stood in front of the five hundred people again, he clearly felt an irrepressible excitement, and the 'agitation' was also murderous. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu Yu nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this leading soldier is actually similar to being in the gang, as long as enough benefits are given, no one will not be tempted, but the bandits in Mocheng are too poor, and the bandits in the Holy City are rich.
This time, there is basically no need for Yu Yu to talk nonsense, these people are more anxious than him!
Hundreds of people rushed all the way to the next bandit's lair. After a night of fighting, hundreds of people returned the next day, and dozens of people died, Yu Yu was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing to be done, these people had done their best, but the bandits were not all soft persimmons, although they had not undergone strict training, but the actual combat experience was actually much richer than these Praetorian Guards.
This time, the harvest was relatively small, but Yu Yu did not give less to the soldiers because of this, the Praetorian Guards left less, and there was no less to 'hand' over to the treasury.
One or two actions, the hearts of all the Praetorian Guards were stirred. If nothing else, the opportunity to get rich has come, follow the commander to kill the bandits, have money to take, and have silver to earn. Who doesn't do such a good thing? Die? There are 1,000 taels of death, which is enough for the family to eat and wear for a lifetime, and fight!
Once the morale is high and the enthusiasm is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish!
In fact, Yu Yu had no intention of extinguishing it. He seemed to have gone crazy to encircle and suppress the bandits, bandits, and gangs around the Holy City.
Sometimes, he even took hundreds of Praetorian Guards to swagger away from the Holy City during the day, and when he returned, he pulled one car after another of gold, silver and jewelry, and once again swaggered through the city! In the Holy City, almost everyone knows about it!
For more than a month, Yu Yu never stopped, more than a dozen sorties, invincible, Qiu Wencheng, the prefect of the Holy City, directly provided intelligence, and Yu Yu was responsible for strangulation.
"Master, master, I'm in the realm of martial apprentices, I'm in the realm of martial apprentices!" Li Xinning ran to Yu Yu with a flushed face and said excitedly.
These days, Yu Yu is not only busy with the affairs of the Praetorian Guard, but also teaching Li Xinning's martial arts cultivation, mainly cultivating the "'Mixed' Yuan Jue". This set of exercises is really powerful, and he found that Li Xinning's martial arts talent is actually very good, he is very smart, and he can understand it at all, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
Yu Yu was very happy to hear the news, and Li Xinning continued, "I can go with you to kill the bandits, right?"
Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "If you really want to go, then go!" Li Xinning heard that Yu Yu agreed without hesitation, and immediately danced happily.
The next day, Yu Yu prepared a pair of fine silver 'color' armor for Li Xinning, a jujube red 'color' horse, Li Xinning carried a silver gun, and a red 'color' horse under his crotch, galloping beside Yu Yu, galloping through the street, heroic and cool, like a 'female' general image, attracting countless people's side eyes.
The battle was naturally not what Li Xinning imagined, and there were several times when it was dangerous, but fortunately she was by Yu Yu's side, so she survived. Yu Yu originally thought that she would hate this kind of beating and killing after experiencing it once, but she didn't expect that although Li Xinning's face turned pale when she thought of the danger at that time, she insisted on going out again.
Yu Yu didn't stop her, so she let her follow.
Sometimes it's night, sometimes it's daytime, sometimes it's three hundred, sometimes even thousands of people, and after nearly a month, the bandits within a radius of thousands of miles around the holy city were either surrounded and killed by Yu Yu, or simply fled directly to other places to make a living, and they really couldn't stay here.
Yu Yu attacked more than 20 times and gained amazingly. After all, some bandits are poor, while some bandits have accumulated for decades, and their wealth is very objective.
Doudou seems to have returned to the days of Mocheng, cooking at home every day and waiting for Yu Yu to come back to eat, those maid 'girls', she never let them cook for Yu Yu. And Yu Yu returned home after killing the bandits, sat on the stool and told Doudou about the process of killing the thieves on the mountain, Doudou listened carefully on the side, occasionally asked a few words, and Yu Yu explained one by one.
The little white fish watched dumbfounded. This sister of mine was not disgusted by Yu Yu's bloody murderous experience, but was very excited. Doudou's sentence "I was raised by the young master by killing" made Xiao Baiyu sink and groan! In Xiao Baiyu's opinion, Doudou seemed to think that Yu Yu was the right way to go out to kill people and make money.
"Aren't you afraid that the court will blame you for doing this?" asked Yu Yu in the study that night.
Yu Yu shook his head, "Don't be afraid, because I haven't violated any laws of Yanguo!"
Xiao Baiyu was stunned, "You 'privately' divided those properties, isn't this a violation of the law?"
"Don't forget, I am the commander of the Praetorian Guard, not the prefect of the Holy City, they go to encircle and suppress the bandits, and the finances should be handed over to the treasury, but I am not one of those who catch fast, and the law of the Yan Kingdom does not say that the Praetorian Guard must also hand over the property when killing the bandits. ”
"Are you taking advantage of the loophole?" said the little white fish.
"So to speak!" Yu Yu shrugged.
"Why are you so crazy to kill those bandits, is it just for money, in order to 'boost' the morale of the Praetorian Guard?"
"That's just part of the reason. There is another reason, not all of the thieves I killed!" Yu Yu smiled mysteriously.
The little white fish frowned, "What do you mean by this?"
Yu Yu stretched his waist, "I asked Lu Bin to inquire clearly, some forces of the Li family are entrenched around the holy city, and they look similar to bandits, this is the strength of the Li family in the world, I destroyed a lot of forces like the Li family when I killed the bandits!"
"You, do you still have this hand?" the little white fish was surprised.
"Hmph" Yu Yu sneered, "I have never dared to forget why I came to the Holy City, I dare not forget it for a day!"
"Then you're not afraid that the Li family will trouble you?" said Xiao Baiyu.
Yu Yu shook his head, "They are dumb now, eating Coptis chinensis, and they can't say anything about their suffering." I went out to fight bandits, who doesn't know in the Holy City? It can be described as very happy, especially for big business travelers! And the Li family wants to disguise their forces as bandits, so it is almost difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and now I am an official, they are thieves, I say he is, he is, no!"
"How does Lu Bin know so much?" the little white fish nodded and then asked.
"Lu Bin, this person, has a lot of energy, he used to be a scout, oh, that is, a spy, he has a few brushes!" Yu Yu said.
The commander of the Praetorian Guard took advantage of his position to seek 'personal gain' with his power, and under the banner of suppressing bandits, he openly greedy for ink and filled his 'private' pockets.
"Your Majesty, the minister also has a play. The Marquis of Zhongyi used the Praetorian Guards to loot wealth on a large scale, and shared the spoils with the soldiers, disturbing the law and order."
"Your Majesty, the 'private' of the Loyal and Righteous Marquis automatically uses the Praetorian Guard to go out, which is not in line with etiquette......"
……
At this heavenly court meeting, the ministers seemed to have made an appointment, and they didn't know who picked the head, which suddenly aroused the unanimous consent of many ministers, and Yu Yu's charges were listed one after another.
The emperor didn't say a word above, looking at these ministers who were 'excited', and after they finished speaking, the emperor looked at the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and said, "Yan Wei, how is the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion going now?"
Yan Wei hurriedly said, "Back to Your Majesty, in about ten days, it will be completed, and then Master Hou can move in directly!"
"Hmm" The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Zheng Shizhi, what is my annual income in Yanguo, and what is the balance of a year?"
Zheng Shizhi is a scholar of the household department, and he is over seventy years old, and he stood up and said, "My annual income in Yanguo is about 25 million taels of silver, and it can reach 30 million taels in good years. In the bad year, there were 20 million taels at the worst. As for the surplus, excluding various expenses every year, such as military spending, repairing river embankments, and so on, there is a surplus of about 3 million taels, but if there is a year of famine, not only will there be a surplus, but there will also be a deficit, and it will be necessary to allocate savings from the national treasury for disaster relief!"
"Well, how much silver did you allocate to the Praetorian Guard a few days ago to support the families?" the Yellow Emperor asked.
"A total of two hundred and thirty-five seven thousand four hundred and ninety-three taels!" Zheng is way.
"Then how much money did Yu Yu hand over to the treasury in the past two months?" the emperor asked.
"This?" Zheng was stunned, and then hurriedly said, "The Marquis of Zhongyi has handed over a total of more than 6.87 million taels of silver. ”
"Ahh
When those ministers heard this, their faces immediately changed, and they began to talk one after another! When King Weinan went to the court, he didn't need to stand, but sat directly in front of the ministers. He sat quietly with his head bowed, not saying a word.
"Yes, the Marquis of Zhongyi has brought a lot of income to the country during this time, I don't even know that the thieves around this holy city are so rich," the emperor smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with Your Majesty's opinion" An old minister came out and said loudly, "Although the Marquis of Zhongyi has handed over a lot of silver to the treasury, he himself is not greedy for ink? Who does not know now that as soon as the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard go out, each person can get at least 100 taels of silver? In addition, the fact that he handed over to the treasury just shows that his heart is weak, and at the same time, he actually transferred the Janissaries out of the country 'privately', which has never happened before. You must know that the Praetorian Guard is safeguarding the safety of the Holy City and the safety of the royal family, how can he use the Praetorian Guard to besiege and kill the bandits and do such an inferior thing?"
