The battle report in front flew like snowflakes, and the face of the saint had been cloudy for several days, and the battle situation was stale, and every extra day of fighting was an extra day of flesh and blood. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The day before yesterday, the state treasury inventory situation was not optimistic, and during the autumn harvest season, several grain-producing areas continued to rain and became autumn floods, and the grain that was about to ripen was rotting in the ground. In addition to exempting local taxes, funds are also allocated for disaster relief. I thought that it was when the Northern Dynasty learned the news that he went south, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits.

The face of the military department Shangshu was also gloomy, and the famous generals and elite soldiers were all sent out, but the Northern Dynasty was determined to win at this time, and the people who came to attack were not easy to match. When he went to the court, someone suggested changing generals and letting the veteran Chen Yan replace Xiao Yanran, and the military department shook his head: "Changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers." Hubu Shangshu, who had never come to see him unpleasantly, said: "After more than three months of fighting, there has been no progress at all, such a person has not been changed, and it is not a taboo for soldiers to wait for the defeat of the army." ”

The person on the dragon chair had not yet spoken, and the military department Shangshu said: "I think the household department is too idle, and it is here to take care of the affairs of my military department." Also, the household has no money and no food, so it doesn't have to be managed, and it doesn't have to be recorded, and it's very idle. ”

Seeing that the two Aiqing were about to pinch again, as the boss, they had to speak: "Li Aiqing, formulate an effective and feasible plan to replenish the treasury within three days." Zhang Aiqing, within a month, I don't want to see the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty within 300 miles of my border city. Retreat. Only the two of them looked at each other, with mixed feelings.

The weather is very good, today is the day of rest, Du Shuyan is sitting in the study, flipping through a thick manuscript, Qian Sha quietly moved over, and suddenly covered his eyes: "What kind of idle book is my husband reading again." A pair of beautiful eyes glanced at the book, but it was a bent Fanbang text in the song. Akane let go of her hand: "It's boring, it's such a good weather, but I'm looking at this kind of thing." ”

Before he could speak, he heard a report from the porter: "Master Li has arrived." Qian Sha hurriedly turned to the screen behind to take shelter for a while, Du Shuyan stood up, Fang and sorted out the clothes, and Master Li of the household department had already arrived at the door of the study. Excuse me, virtuous man, the Holy One will come up with a way to fill the treasury within three days, and this matter will be handed over to you. ”

Hearing this, Du Shuyan couldn't help but be stunned: "Me? The lower officials are only shallow in learning, but they are afraid of ......" "Don't shirk, I know you must have a way, just like that, farewell." ”

Until Lord Li's back disappeared, Du Shuyan still didn't come to his senses, and when he woke up, countless animals that he had never seen at all rushed through in his heart. The last one smiled at him evilly, and just wanted to do something, Akane reminded coldly: "The eldest lady said that she will reduce the expenses of the house this year, and if something in the study is artificially damaged, please ask the husband to use it." ”

"Smack", a handful of inked paper was thrown to the ground, then picked up and thrown on the ground again. Repeating it several times, Akane smiled and said, "Husband, can you get rid of your anger?" Du Shuyan waved his hand and let her out.

"My lord, the spy came to report, that Du Shuyan turned out to be a pus, and he was obedient and sticky to his wife at home, and he only dared to throw the paper he had written when he lost his temper. Adults are worried that he will do bad things, so they are too worried. ”

"Be careful that there is no overstep, and there must be no mistake in this matter. Let the darling of the palace worry about this, so that we have a chance to make a serious idea, how is the matter of the granary in the Jianghuai area? ”

"Don't worry, my lord, it's been done a long time ago, and I'm sure that outsiders won't find any clues after ten trips."

"Okay, now I'm going to see how that old man has no money and no food, so he can retire within a month."

"My lord's clever plan, I can't blame the adults for filling the treasury, I can't retreat the soldiers and horses, and the military department will be to blame, when the time comes, see what face that Zhang Shangshu has to fight against the adults in the court."

A few days later......

"My lord, it's not good, several granaries have been ...... It's all emptied by thieves. ”

"What !!"

Dufunai ......

Du Shuyan tapped his fingers on the table while reading the book, and hummed softly in his mouth: "Chang Gong is back, eat ~ no fish ......" Qian Sha put down a plate of tofu: "Sister said, this is a vegetarian fish, and the husband uses it slowly." Looking at this plate of tofu, Du Shuyan suddenly laughed, as if he had seen the most delicious food in the world.

As soon as the chopsticks were picked up, he looked at him: "What's the matter?" ”

No one appeared, and a voice came from nowhere: "Lord of the Building, the battle of Yunzhou, the strength of the two sides is equal, and there are heavy casualties." The soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty returned to the royal court, and General Xiao disappeared in the chaos. ”

"Got it."

As when it comes, it goes silently.

"I've eaten green vegetables and tofu for so long, and even Mo Hua's dowry has been put in, you kid wants to pretend to be dead and not pay back. Let me find you out, plus fifty percent interest! ”

The old-fashioned plan to fill the treasury was quite successful, with the squires volunteering to donate their hoarded grain, and some officials volunteering to cut their salaries for the sake of the king.

"Husband, isn't your trick too damaging?"

"Xiao Zhu'er, you have eaten porridge and pickles for more than half a month, and you have really eaten the heart of the Bodhisattva. It seems that it has to continue. ”

Du Shilang was in weak health, and he became ill from exhaustion in order to fill the treasury, and took several days off. When the dynasty was dispersed, this matter was chewed as a joke by colleagues for a while.

Yunzhou City was in ruins, and before it could be repaired, the sentry looked at a man riding a horse from afar, and shouted: "Who is coming?" ”

"Your general's creditor."

"Du Shilang, the Ministry of Industry said that this account must be calculated today, and it will be handed over early tomorrow morning. There is also a military department here, so it's not too urgent, just do it within three days. As he spoke, a thick stack of ledgers fell on the table.

Before he knew it, it was already the willow tips on the moon, Du Shilang rubbed his sore back, stood up, and prepared to continue to do the accounts of the military department tomorrow. But I found that I didn't know who locked the door of the house.

Du Shilang stretched his waist, let's go, since that's the case, let's continue. Just turned a few pages, and couldn't help frowning, the number of people reported by the army on the West Road was obviously wrong.

There are 200,000 people who went out, and after more than a year of fighting, how can there be 200,000? Thinking of the peace letters that the man sent after several battles, they all said that his soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, and there were thousands of people at every turn. Didn't this guy find some place to spend money outside, and changed his way to make money, right?

Thinking of this, Du Shilang's brows became more and more sluggish, Yu Gong, he has the duty to check the accounts; In private, he can't see the once upright person being dyed into scum like this.

The accounts of the Ministry of War were still made according to the reported figures, and there were slight deductions, only to say that the national treasury had no sufficient amount of money and grain to redeem the full amount of money and grain after years of war.

Early in the morning, when the colleagues of the household department came in with brisk steps, they were startled by him, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, he staggered to his feet, and arched his hands: "Morning adults." "When you see it, you will plant it.

After learning that he was locked in the house and didn't sleep all night to drive out the accounts, Hubu Shangshu sighed: "Xiao Du, you are too conscientious, why don't you go home and rest quickly." Du Shilang barely squeezed out a smile: "It's okay, I didn't ......" As he spoke, the person fell to the ground.

Everyone was busy for a long time, and they ordered someone to notify the Du Mansion family to pick it up, and they plucked people to pour tea, when he was dizzy, the Du Mansion housekeeper came, and the household department Shangshu pointed to Du Shilang and said: "Grant you a month's vacation, take care of your body and come again, don't worry about this public matter, someone will deal with it, and the body is important." Du Shilang had to nod.

On the carriage, seeing that it was far away, the housekeeper smiled and said, "Childe, it seems that they still remember the last time you fainted, look at the old man scared." Du Shilang leaned on the low table, although his face was a little tired, but it was not at all the appearance of Fang Cai who wanted to die or live, and said with a smile: "A month is a little less, if I can't come back in time by then, you know what to do." The housekeeper nodded and smiled: "This is not the first time, don't worry." ”

On the bright moonlit night, someone took the Linglou token, called open the city gate, and threw himself into the boundless night with one person and one horse. Linglou is the most secret organization of the imperial court, and outsiders only know that it has high power and does some shady things for the royal family, but no one knows who is doing it. Who would have thought that the owner of this spiritual building would be Du Shilang, who was sick all day long and asked for sick leave every now and then.

Thousands of miles of galloping, for more than ten days without a good rest, if it weren't for a breath of real breath, I was afraid that I would have been tired and lay down. Until the pass, the soldiers guarding the pass asked who was under the pass, Du Shilang still covered his face with a cloak, raised his head and said loudly: "Marshal Xiao's old acquaintance." ”

Unfortunately, Marshal Xiao was not in the pass at this time, and the soldiers guarding the pass were very cautious, and when they saw that this person did not show his face and did not report his name, he just refused to let him in. Only dried Du Shilang from early in the morning to the west, and finally waited for the horse to neigh, and there was a familiar voice: "I'm back." Hey, you're ......."

Finally able to leave the horse, Du Shilang could barely stand up straight, a few soldiers looked at it and snickered, Marshal Xiao shook his head: "Come, I'll help you." Du Shilang weighed the form and did not refuse.

After entering the house, he couldn't stand still, and he didn't want to sit anymore, Marshal Xiao helped Du Shilang to the bed and lay on his stomach, and rubbed it on several of his meridian acupoints: "What happened in Beijing?" ”

"What's the matter with the number of people you reported?" Time is pressing, Du Shilang gets straight to the point.

"Uh......" Marshal Xiao didn't know how to answer for a while.

"You're not the kind of person who wants pleasure, what the hell is going on?"

"With you, I'll tell you the truth, the pension is only a one-time payment, which is too little, and many of the fallen soldiers are still young, and this money is really not enough for orphans and widows to live. And the living can always receive a salary, and the letter to ask for an increase in the pension is always refused, so I ......"

"Okay, I know, I'll go back and figure out a way right away, if it doesn't work, then follow your way." Du Shilang got off the bed, his sore thighs almost didn't support the weight of his body, and Marshal Xiao reached out in time to support him.

"This matter, you can send someone or fly a pigeon to pass the book, why come in person, how difficult is it for you to go out of Beijing, the household department wants to come and pretend to be sick, what tricks does the emperor make?" Marshal Xiao continued to press the ring for him.

Du Shilang took a deep breath: "You think I want to come?" If the emperor knows about such a big number of people, you will be guilty of death. Who can I rest assured of? What birds are you sure about? I told the emperor that someone secretly reported that you had colluded with the commander of the enemy army, so in order not to indulge in vain, I made a special trip to check on you. ”

"Oops...... So, how can I clear my name? ”

Du Shilang smiled: "You don't have to worry about this." Hey, I'm leaving. ”

"So fast? Can't even stay for one night? ”

"What about the court staring at me up and down, in case my identity is exposed, Wenchen and the generals collude, do you want me to die?" Du Shuyan smiled innocently, "Or, I'll give you a word?" If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight? ”

"What nonsense, let's go, or I'll order the door to close."

He met in the court every day, in order to avoid suspicion, he had to act out a farce that did not please each other, and the bottom of his heart, you know and I know, it is enough, the wind and moon in the world are like dust. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
