Chapter 356: Lack of Soldiers and Lack of Money
"However, my lord is deliberating at the moment......," the butler said with a sad face.
"Bold! In the past, this king often walked around even the golden palace of the lord, couldn't he still walk into a small mansion? Hurry up, lead the way! Chi Qiu said sharply.
The housekeeper suddenly became a little shorter:
"Yes, yes, lord, please here."
In the majestic palace, Wang Yuanzheng gathered a large group of staff, frowned, and sat there to discuss matters.
Twisting a few sparse yellow whiskers, he was dragging his voice, and said in a shrill voice:
"The task sent down this time is time-sensitive, heavy, and difficult, and must be completed as soon as possible with quality and quantity. All of you here must be in the spirit of 12 points, and strive for the fastest, the best and the most ......."
Before the disturbing chatter was finished, the butler outside could be heard shouting loudly and angrily:
"The prince has arrived! The officials take over! ”
For a while, Wang Yuan led everyone and greeted them with hula, complimenting and greeting endlessly.
With a plain face, Chi Qiu was not humble, still taking Xiao Yu with him, and sat down unceremoniously on the seat in the middle, and then he slowly asked:
"When the king came in just now, he heard that you seemed to be discussing something over and over again. Let's hear it, what did you talk about just now? ”
Wang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and replied:
"Back to the prince, just now, Xia Guan was just breaking down the troop transfer tasks sent by Changyi one by one, and ordered them to complete them as soon as possible in the near future."
Rolling his eyes, Chi Qiu suddenly became a little interested:
"Oh? In this way, what you have just discussed is the important matter of the soldiers and generals transferred by this king. I wonder what all the adults here think about this matter? ”
Wang Yuan's face suddenly quietly showed a little joy.
However, he immediately turned his face, turned around, and commanded loudly to the officials standing on both sides:
"Coincidentally, the prince came here in person today. With the prince himself in charge, for such a major event as the transfer of troops, the bottom of the official's heart is much more down-to-earth. If you have anything to say in your heart, you can say it one by one. Our lord, you can listen here. ”
On the side, a staff member in a light gray robe had already understood, stepped out, and cried to Chi Qiu repeatedly:
"The prince is graceful. In other words, as of this year, our small southern capital has been in the fifth year of a major drought. In the fields, because the weather is very dry, crops cannot be grown, and the field rent cannot be collected. Therefore, although Nandu is a legendary rich place, it is really just good on the books, but it is just an empty shelf. Therefore, there is no surplus money in the official treasury of Nandu, and there is very little surplus grain. ”
"yes." A staff member said: "Due to the dry weather, there has been no harvest in the people's fields for many years, and many people, in order to make a living, have left their hometowns in droves and gone to work in other towns to make ends meet. Therefore, in the entire southern capital, there are very few soldiers to be recruited......"
……
One by one, his mouth began to move towards Chi Qiu, who was sitting there.
Chi Qiu was still there, and continued to sit with an indifferent face.
Xiao Yu, who was standing behind him, finally understood a little:
The general meaning of this group of people is that there are few soldiers and money here.
Dare to be affectionate, this Lord Wang is here with a group of his staff and disciples, complaining to Chi Qiu and crying poverty.
The more I listen to it, the more bitter and sweet I feel?
What's more, their gang treats Chi Qiu as the landlord's old wealth who came here to collect rent, right?!
