Chapter 857: Sharing Worries
"I hope that the prince will not be surprised," Lu Shu lowered his head, "It's really burning his eyebrows!"
Chu Shaoyuan looked at him and said in a light tone: "Lord Lu shouldn't look for this king for this matter, the documents sent by the Ministry of War are not in the hands of this king, and the military salary is not in the hands of this king, Lord Lu is afraid that he has found the wrong person." Book Lovers "
Lu Shu was very surprised in his heart, of course he knew that even if Prince An handled these military affairs, he would never hold them directly in his hands, most of them were held by his henchmen, he came to ask Prince An now, naturally in order to hope that Prince An could see his support along the way, and at least half of the 300,000 military salaries would be distributed to the soldiers, so that there would be another war in southern Xinjiang this year, and there would be no need to worry.
But now Prince An's attitude is not like he wants to release all the generals' salaries, could it be that he intends to hold the generals' salaries in his hands and train his own private soldiers? If this is the case, where will this cadre soldier of Chuangui still have a way to live!
Looking at Chu Shaoyuan without saying anything, Lu Shu felt that he was a little embarrassed, the fief belonged to Prince An, and the soldiers on the fief said that Prince An would not ignore it, why did he shirk it like this?
"Lord Wang......" Lu Shu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "You may not know, in the past two years that Ning Guogong has been in office, there has been no arrears of military salaries, even if he first came for a while, when everything has not yet started, his own money must first pay the soldiers' salaries, this year Chuangui has become the fief of the prince, and the military salaries will start to be in arrears, I am afraid that it will be bad for your reputation!"
Chu Shaoyuan looked at him with sharp eyes, "Lord Lu wants to say that this king is only the first year of coming, and he will be greedy for Sichuan Gui's military salary, and as soon as the army's heart is scattered in the future, you generals will all put this blame on the head of this king......"
"The prince forgives the sin, the minister has no such intention!" Lu Shu was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "The prince and think about it, what are these families in Sichuan and Guizhou, and why did the emperor put Ning Guogong here, although Sichuan and Guizhou are not as rich as Jiangnan, but they are better than the terrain, if you let it go, I am afraid that there will be turmoil in the DPRK again." ”
Chu Shaoyuan was a little impatient, it seemed that the people he met were all like Lu Shu, either there were a lot of big truths, or they were stupid, and they didn't even have a smart person, if it weren't for Lu Shu's respect, he would have kicked Lu Shu out a long time ago.
Rubbing his head, Chu Shaoyuan simply said straightforwardly: "Lu Xuming, if you really have nothing to do, then go to take care of the displaced people, or go to the river to take a look, seeing that the weather is bad in the autumn in the past few days, there is often rain, have you ever dredged the river?
directly picked out the words and told Lu Shu that the military salary would be paid, but the time had not yet come.
Lu Shu understood in his heart, Prince An was going to clean up the military affairs of Sichuan and Guizhou by distributing military salaries, and he stopped at once, it was not that he didn't think about it, but that such things had happened several times, all of which were after the military salaries came down, and he was greedy by the people above without even seeing the shadows, why did he move beforeIn the end, what came to the hands of the soldiers was not some old grain, or a few pieces of money that could not be lighter, and the family's rations could not be guaranteed, and who else wanted to be a military household? Therefore, in those years, most of the military households fled from the famine, and even if they were caught and severely punished, it was useless.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Lu Shu looked at Chu Shaoyuan again, his eyes became a little complicated, he had been the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou for a few years, if it weren't for the fact that he had watched the situation between the DPRK and China develop step by step over the years, he couldn't believe that this third prince, who was no longer alive, would have such deep scheming and means.
"Lord Wang, some things have been thought about for a long time," Lu Shu arched his hand, and this gesture almost fell into the dust, "Chuangui is the fief of the prince, although the whole world is not the king's land, but since the emperor put the prince in Chuangui, he must have high hopes for the prince, and what will happen to Chuangui in the future depends on the prince, if the prince trusts the minister, the minister is willing to serve the prince!"
Lu Shu had never said such a thing to anyone, even before he left Yunfu to take office, he was secretly talked to by He Chenghai, the prince of the Zhan Mansion, several times, but he had never made such a determination, and this time, he felt that if he did not choose Chu Shaoyuan's camp, he was afraid that there would be no such opportunity in the future, this determination was sudden, and when the words came out, even he was startled, but when he saw the surprise on Chu Shaoyuan's face, he felt that he had done the right thing again.
"As early as when the prince was in the northwest, the minister moved such a thought, there is really no chance, and now I can see the prince can not help but say that it is a gift from God, and the minister is willing to share the worries for the prince!"
Chu Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows, although he was surprised, he was not very surprised, after all, Chuangui was already his fief, and everything in the fiefdom belonged to him, even the courtiers could not be an exception to bow down to him.
"Lord Lu has a heart," he looked at Lu Shu, put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and chuckled, "This king has been worried about the family in the city recently, and I want to hear Lord Lu's opinion." Gently turning the jade wrench on his thumb, Chu Shaoyuan's voice was long, "When this king came to Chuangui, it was a long time late, presumably Lord Lu also knew the reason, this king has been pressing, not afraid of anything, but I don't want to do it as soon as I come, let people see the joke, besides, what is going on, you always have to find out before you can draw conclusions, Lord Lu said but?"
Lu Shu nodded again and again, Prince An has been temporarily living in his courtyard during that time, he is naturally clear about these things, he is still a little strange about Prince An's actions until today, he is clearly a favorite wife, but he can endure this matter alive, and not move the two families at all, he also thinks that Prince An is benevolent, but now it is clear that it is not.
Chu Shaoyuan looked at Lu Shu with a smile: "This king is not afraid that they will not be convinced, the evidence and material evidence of the left and right people are complete, but if it comes down like this, I am afraid that Chuangui will have rumors again, which is not good." ”
Lu Shu thought for a while and said: "The prince is benevolent and thoughtful, but others may not have such a mind as the prince, no matter how much gossip in the city is, it is no more than a rational word, and the matter that the prince said, not only the princess was robbed by this, there are many such cases sealed in the mansion chronicles, presumably Lord Wu also has a headache." ”
