As soon as September arrives, there is a little bit of autumn.

Ok-hee lay in the medicated bath, drowsy. Every once in a while, Qiulan and the others would heat up the water in the bathtub.

After soaking for two quarters of an hour, I rinsed it with water again, and then took a skin cream and applied it to my body.

Yuxi got dressed and said to Grandma Quan: "Mama, you can leave all the medicinal baths to Tong Fang in the future, don't be so tired." "Tong Fang has already learned seventy or eighty percent of Mama's kung fu, and it is enough.

Mama Quan shook her head and said, "I can rest assured that I will leave it all to her." Besides, it's boring to eat, sleep, and sleep every day, so it's better to do something, so that time flies quickly. ”

Yuxi said with a smile, "Mama always says that I can't be idle, and you don't do the same now." ”

Mama Quan also sighed with some emotion and said: "I used to think that I should be leisurely in my old age, but now that I am old, I find that I have nothing to do, and I have become a waste." ”

Yuxi smiled when he heard this and said, "Then when I'm old, I guess I won't be idle." ”

Mama Quan asked tentatively: "In another ten years, you will only be in your forties, are you really willing to let go and hand it over to Brother Hao?" In fact, this was very tactful, she felt that Yuxi would be reluctant to let go of the power in her hands after another ten years. It's not that Yuxi misses power much, but he can't stand it when he's busy and idle. Now she has that experience.

Yuxi shook his head and said: "No matter how precocious Brother Hao is, it is not suitable to take over the power at the age of twenty, and he must be honed for two more years." After a pause, Yuxi smiled and said, "Besides, not being in power does not mean that there is nothing to do." ”

Mama Quan felt that she was really old and couldn't keep up with Yuxi's thinking: "It's getting late, you should go to sleep." ”

Yuxi hummed and went to bed, and fell asleep after a while.

Mama Quan is old, and she won't keep vigil. After going out, she called Meilan in, and she went back to her house.

I received good news early the next morning. The batch of gold and silver that Zi Jin was holding would be able to enter the city in the afternoon.

Xu Wu thought for a moment and said, "I heard that there are more than three hundred carriages. Princess, should they be allowed to go into the city at night. "It was such a spectacular scene that the people would definitely follow to see the excitement. It's a small thing, mainly because he thinks it's too flamboyant.

Yuxi snorted and said, "No need, just send someone to answer, just maintain law and order and don't make trouble." ”

In the afternoon, Zijin escorted more than 300 carriages into the city. When the people heard that the chests in the wagon were full of gold and silver, they flocked to see it.

A short and fat man stood on the restaurant, looking at the endless crowd of carriages on the street, and said with some disbelief: "If so many boxes are all gold and silver, how much silver will it cost? Eighteen million?" He was very skeptical of the veracity of the news.

A man in satin clothes next to him opened the fan in his hand and said, "It's true, I heard this news from Wu Jinbao with my own ears." These gold and silver are the furniture of the Wu family, and there are tens of millions. ”

The short and fat man still didn't believe it: "With so much money, why is the Wu family willing to hand it over?" With this amount of money, future generations will no longer have to worry about eating and drinking.

The satin man shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." If you want to know if these chests contain gold or silver, you have to open them. ”

The short and fat man smiled and pointed to the fierce officers and soldiers with knives and guns next to the convoy and said, "Who has the courage to do this? There are so many people on the street, but they are all here to see the excitement.

At first, many people were suspicious, but as these boxes were sent to the silver treasury, no one doubted them. And this news also caused a sensation in the entire Pickaxe City.

Shen Chunting, the head of the household department, personally came to receive this batch of belongings, and he couldn't stop laughing when he watched the boxes of gold and silver being carried into the silver treasury! With this money, at least next year there will be no need to worry about the money. Well, it would be better if I could come a few more times.

Zi Jin put this batch of gold and silver into the warehouse, and the whole person relaxed. At first, Zi Jin also felt that it would be okay to be escorted by so many officers and soldiers, and she was not worried. But in the middle were replaced by six large chests of gold, and those people were very secretive. Thousands of boxes, six of which have been replaced, who can detect it! Unfortunately, these people did not expect that Guo Xun was an expert in this area, and he quickly discovered that something was wrong and chased the gold back in the shortest possible time.

This incident scared Zi Jin into a cold sweat, and she didn't dare to take it lightly after that. In the following days, Zijin never had a good night's sleep, and she was afraid that something like this would happen again.

Looking at Zi Jin and Guo Xun, who were haggard and thin, Yuxi smiled and said, "You two have worked hard." "What happened in the middle, Yuxi knows.

Jiangnan to Hocheng is still relatively peaceful, but more than 300 carriages and thousands of boxes were escorted, and if the other party made preparations in advance, it was easy to have problems. In case of an accident, Yuxi asked Guo Xun to bring someone to follow.

Guo Xun said very calmly: "This is what I should do. Perhaps affected by the environment, Guo Xun is no longer as hearty and generous as before, but gives people a gloomy feeling.

Zi Jin said something in front of Yuxi: "Princess, why did you send this batch of gold and silver to the official treasury in front of the people?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "Don't you think it's a good thing to let everyone know that the government is rich?"

Zijin thinks about it too.

Guo Xun opened his mouth and asked: "Princess, I heard that the prince is preparing to send troops to the north, and this money is the military expenses for sending troops, is this true?"

Yuxi nodded and said, "Yes." The prince is ready to send troops to attack the northern captivity in the spring of next year. ”

Guo Xun's face showed a touch of excitement: "Good, good, good." "Sending troops to the north to exterminate these eight lambs is his long-standing wish, and now he has finally waited for how not to be excited.

After speaking, he realized that he was a little too excited, and immediately explained: "The subordinates are a little out of shape. ”

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I can understand, the prince has been waiting for this day for more than ten years. When she agreed to attack the Northern Captivity, Yun Qing's obvious relief was still fresh in her memory.

Guo Xun said with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't go to the battlefield anymore, otherwise I must avenge my brothers." "The hatred of the northern captives has penetrated deep into their bone marrow. If they do not destroy the northern captivity, they are ashamed of their dead brothers and soldiers.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Even if you can't go to the battlefield, as long as you do what we have at hand, it's the same." ”

Guo Xun walked out of the study and did not go back to the pear orchard directly, but went to find Huo Changqing.

After Zi Jin waited for Guo Xun to go out, she said: "Princess, next year the prince will send troops to the north, and I want to follow me." "Although the Qianwei Battalion is good, it is not as enjoyable as going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Yuxi didn't object to Zi Jin following: "Yu Zhi and the two children agree on this matter, I don't count if I say it." ”

Zi Jin immediately made a bitter face, it was not a big problem to get Yu Zhi to agree, but it was not easy to get the two children to agree. But she also knew that since Yuxi had opened her mouth, there was no room for bargaining.

After breakfast the next day, Liu Er asked Yuxi: "Mother, I heard that Aunt Sumire brought back tens of millions of silver yesterday, is this true?" Liu Er followed the housekeeping, and the news was better than that of the triplets.

When the triplets heard the news, they all looked at Yuxi with wide eyes. I think their monthly routine is only twenty taels a month, but I heard that this amount is enough for ordinary people to chew for a year.

Yuxi nodded and said, "It's true, but it's only 10 million." Wu Kuo made up a whole number.

Liu Er was just curious and asked, and was very shocked when she heard Yuxi's words: "It turned out to be true." ”

Brother Rui hurriedly said: "Mother, with so much silver, won't it be spent in a lifetime?"

Yuxi smiled and said, "Do you know how much money it cost to attack the three provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou last year? More than eight million taels of silver. ”

Rui Ge'er exclaimed: "Why do you want so much money?"

Yuxi said: "Fighting a war is burning money. Ten million sounds like a lot, but it's only enough for a big battle. ”

Brother You couldn't help but say, "Dad has been fighting outside all the year round, so didn't it cost a lot of money?"

Yuxi nodded and said, "That's right! It's because your father has been fighting all year round, so not only the government's treasury, but also our own treasury are empty." ”

Brother You muttered, "That dad is really a loser." Over the years, his father has fought no less than ten times, big and small, and the amount of money spent has gone to the sea. Isn't he a loser?

Yuxi pursed his lips and smiled and said, "It can't be counted like this." Although it costs money to fight, your father won the war, and these places that you subjugate will also be taxed in the future......"

Brother Rui didn't wait for Yuxi to finish speaking, and quickly interjected: "Mother, my father won the battle and there are still a lot of loot, which is also a lot of money." ”

Yuxi looked at Brother Rui and did not speak.

Brother Rui saw Yuxi's eyes, so he lowered his head and said, "Mother, I was wrong." "Yuxi has taught before that it is rude to interrupt others while they are talking.

Yuxi hummed and said, "There will be no next time." "Actually, it's a trivial thing to interject, but Yuxi feels that the more trivial it is, the more inadmissible it is. Because of the details, we can better reflect a person's character and cultivation.

Brother Rui nodded hurriedly.

Yuxi then continued: "Winning the battle is indeed a trophy. But after the end of the war, the meritorious soldiers should be rewarded, the families of those soldiers who died in the war should be paid, and the wounded soldiers should be resettled, all of which require money. "If there are too many casualties, the pension alone is a very heavy burden.

Liu Er suddenly said that she just needed so much money to fight, and it turned out that it also included expenses after the war!

The triplets are also considered to have gained knowledge.

Brother You asked: "Mother, now that you have such a large amount of money, is Dad going to send troops again?" After a pause, Brother You asked: "Mother, is Dad going to send troops to the north?"

Yuxi was very surprised and asked, "How do you know?" She had never told the triplets about these things.

Seeing this, Brother You'er said a little proudly: "Guess." Dad went to Yucheng and Xihai not long ago, and now he is going again, and he also brought his eldest brother with him, probably because he wanted to send troops to the north to take him captive. ”

Yuxi looked at Brother You and said, "You guessed right, your father is going to send troops to the north in the spring of next year." "If the old fritters in the officialdom can guess Yunqing's plan based on this, it is not surprising. But Brother You'er is only nine years old, and he can guess that he doesn't touch these things on weekdays, I have to say that this child is very keen.

Brother Rui was excited: "Mother, I will follow my father to kill the barbarians in the north next year." ”

Yuxi naturally refused: "Study hard and practice martial arts, and when you are out of school, my mother will not stop you." ”

Brother Rui hung his head and didn't speak, his current martial arts are still very early from leaving the school!

Yuxi said: "If you want to run if you don't learn to walk, you will just fall and your nose will be swollen." But if you can't recognize your ability to go to the battlefield, then you will lose your life. ”

Brother Rui was not convinced when he heard this, and raised his head and asked Yuxi: "Mother, why can the eldest brother follow his father to the battlefield?"

Yuxi said: "Qihao followed your father to increase his knowledge, not to go to the battlefield. ”

Seeing that Brother Rui still wanted to say more, Brother You hurriedly pulled Brother Rui and said, "Mother, it's time for us to go to class too." If we are late, the gentleman will punish us. ”

Yuxi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead!"

After breakfast, Yuxi went to the front yard and picked up a book casually looking at the pile of folds on the table. This excerpt was written by Yuan Ying, and it was just delivered, and he asked Yuxi for money.

Yuxi smiled and put down the excerpt, and then opened another excerpt, and it turned out to be asking for money again. Yuxi is in charge of government affairs and has strict control over various expenditures. If you want money, you can, come up with a detailed charter. Otherwise, not a penny will be given.

Putting down the fold, Yuxi looked outside and said, "Go and ask Lord Tan and the six Shangshu to come over to discuss the matter." "It's time to announce the dispatch of troops to the north.

Tan Tuo, Fu Minglang and the others were not surprised at all when they heard the news that they would send troops to the north in the spring of next year, because they had already guessed it before.

The first to speak was Shen Chunting, the head of the household: "Princess, the northern captives are brave and good at fighting, and this battle is very dangerous. ”

An Zike, the secretary of the ministry, also said: "Princess, if you want to fight, you should attack the capital first." "Let's take the capital first.

Yuxi shook his head and said: "Many of the prince's brothers died at the hands of the Northern captives, and this sea of blood is not revenge for the prince's rest." He knew that he had received such a large sum of money, so he told me that he would send troops and destroy the north. ”

An Zike didn't speak, and the other adults didn't say anything. Unless it was something very important, they wouldn't dare to argue with Yunqing.

Tan Tuo asked, "Princess, what do you mean?"

Yuxi deliberately sighed and said: "Husband and wife, since the prince vows to avenge this blood sea of hatred, how can I stop it." Otherwise, this thing will choke on his heart, and he will not be happy. ”

With Yuxi's words, none of the people present objected.

Tan Tuo said: "Since this is the case, it is time to prepare." "When there is a war, they have to be busy. Fortunately, the system is relatively perfect now, and one person does not have to do the work of three people like before.

Yuxi summoned everyone to discuss this matter. Before the war, it is necessary to prepare sufficient food, grass and other necessary materials, and after the war, there are also a lot of things to deal with.

Everyone nodded in unison.
