"Two, two," the scholar-looking man hurriedly stepped forward, separated the two of them, and then said with a sneer, "Harmony and fortune, don't be so angry, we will take a month on the boat next, this look up and don't look down, there is really no need to make trouble." ”

Bai Jiujiu didn't seem to hear the scholar's words at all, his face was gloomy, and he asked again, "You really don't want to change?" ”

Ye Yuxuan stood behind Bai Jiu at a loss, she wanted to go up to dissuade her, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to stand stupidly in place.

"What happened to you?" Wang Kun's voice suddenly came from the end of the corridor, and he slowly walked into the four of them, with a warm smile on his face.

Bai Jiu frowned, it seems that there is another person who wants to be a peacemaker.

The fat man probably felt that he was reasonable, so he didn't back down, even if he had just felt the strong murderous aura on Bai Jiujiu's body, he felt that this young man would not dare to kill people on the boat.

Wang Kun walked up to everyone and asked, "Why are you two arguing?" ”

Before the two of them could speak, the scholar-like man spoke first, "Ah, it's this brother and sister, it happened to be split when buying tickets, the two were in two rooms, my brother wanted to change rooms with this son, but this son refused." ”

Wang Kun looked at a few people, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "Since this son doesn't want to change, then you can't just change it with your brother?" ”

Bai Jiu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that it seemed to be really like this......

The scholar-like man also patted his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Yes! Confused, confused. ”

"In that case, the problem is solved," Wang Kun saluted the four of them, "Then the old man will go back to the room first." ”

The scholar-like man also immediately bowed in return, saying, "Thank you for this gentleman." ”

"No way!" The fat man suddenly shouted, he looked at the people around him, and said loudly, "I have half the right to this room too!" I don't want this skinny bamboo pole to live with me! If you dare to change! Lao Tzu sees you once a day and beats you once! ”

The scholar-like man couldn't help but be embarrassed, and muttered in a low voice, "Isn't that going to beat me every day?" ”

"This son, aren't you arguing with strong words?" Wang Kun frowned, and his perception of this fat man instantly dropped to the worst.

"What? I'm just a strong argument," the fat man glared at Wang Kun, and said, "Except for this little girl, no matter who of you comes, I will beat him every day!" ”

"You'd better stop in moderation," Bai Jiuyue's face became more and more gloomy, "My patience is limited. ”

"What? Defy? The fat man looked proud, in his eyes, Bai Jiujiu was no different from that thin bamboo pole-like scholar, no matter what, it was a matter of one punch, "Don't accept the two of us to practice?" ”

Bai Jiu sneered, "Really? You've got to think about it. ”

"I'll beat you all over the ground later, don't you cry." The fat man also sneered.

The fat man spread his fists and feet, looking like he was about to rush forward, Bai Jiujiu stood in place, doing nothing, at this time, Wang Kun suddenly raised his hand, smiled at Bai Jiujiu, and said, "Don't worry, young man, give me your sister's token, I have my own way." ”

Bai Jiujiu was suspicious, turned around and took the token from Ye Yuxuan's hand, and handed it to Wang Kun's hand, Wang Kun nodded with a smile and took it, turned around and shouted, "Wen Yu!" ”

Wen Yan immediately ran out of the room, trotted all the way, came to Wang Kun, and asked with a puzzled face, "Master Wang, what's wrong?" ”

Outside, they generally call Wang Kun as Master Wang.

Wang Kun handed the token to Wen Yu and said, "Give me your token." ”

Wen Yan untied the token with a puzzled expression, handed it to Wang Kun, and said, "Master Wang, what are you doing here?" ”

Wang Kun smiled without saying a word, handed Wen Huan's token to Bai Jiujiu's hand, and said, "We are a group of nineteen people, and we bought twenty boat orders, and there is a room where only one person lives...... Childe, live together. ”

Wang Kun hesitated for a moment, and finally called the fat man by his son.

Bai Jiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly clasped his fists at Wang Kun and saluted, "Then thank you, Master Wang." ”

Ye Yuxuan also bowed, "Thank you, Master Wang." ”

Wang Kun smiled and said, "The two of you should leave for that room now, and let Wen Yu lead the way for you." ”

Although Wen Yu was still confused by the second monk, he still followed Wang Kun's instructions and said to Bai Jiu's "brother and sister", "Come on, follow me." ”

Bai Jiujiu and Ye Yuhui thanked again, skipped Wang Kun, and followed Wen Yu.

Ye Yuxuan and Wang Kun passed by, Wang Kun happened to glance at this girl, he had never looked at the girl's appearance before, but now at a glance, he always felt that this face seemed to have been seen somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he shook his head and turned around and went back to his room.

The man who looked like a scholar suddenly laughed, "Hey, I made it for a long time, but I earned it, one person in one room, quiet." ”

The fat man's face was blue and red for a while, he originally wanted to be angry, but when he saw Wen Yu's burly figure, he finally just sighed and turned back to the room.

......

......

In the twelfth year of Tianfu, in July, Youbei, Youzhou City.

Wang Kun stood beside the dragon chair in the main hall, and the emperor was still "unwell" and did not go to the early court. The government was still represented by Wang Kun.

Today's war in the west is not optimistic, several news came one after another are bad news, Wang Kun frowned, listening to the words of the hundred officials standing in the main hall, most of them are local officials in Youbei, some are drawn from the three states of Youbei, although their ability is not as good as those Beijing officials, but they can still do things.

Some of the main officials, such as the Shangshu of the Sixth Ministry, are held by Wen Li's cronies, but the military power is still in the hands of the Taishou of Youzhou, and it cannot be taken away for the time being.

"Today's Sizhou Fire Horse Urgent Report, saying that the war on the Western Front is not optimistic, Tuoba Yan soldiers are divided into three lines, and launched an attack at the same time, at the same time as this urgent report is issued, Sizhou has fallen three counties, Sizhou Taishou is gathering the remnants of the army, planning to have a tug-of-war with Tuoba Yan in Sizhou City, hoping to send reinforcements."

Wen Li nodded, his brow furrowed even deeper.

"Since the tax increase, there have been ...... in various places The voice is more," the official who spoke paused, he looked up at Wen Li's expression, swallowed his saliva, and then continued, "There are many cases of rebellion in various places, although it is only a small rebellion for the time being, and it will not be a big deal, but presumably this situation will continue to deteriorate, and at that time, the DPRK and China may need to send a lot of troops to suppress it, so the ministers are bold...... Please Uncle Guo, lower taxes and give the people a respite

opportunities. ”

Wen Li's face immediately became gloomy, and he looked coldly at the official who spoke, and asked, "Are you teaching me to do things?" ”

The official's face immediately turned pale, and he knelt down without thinking, his voice trembled, "Weichen doesn't dare!" I hope that Uncle Guo will calm his anger! ”

Wen Li snorted coldly, but this time he unexpectedly did not investigate this official, he waved his sleeves, and said, "If there is any situation in various places, report it." ”

Hearing this, several ministers straightened their bodies and raised the jade plaque in their hands, they looked at each other, and finally it was the household servant who opened his mouth first, "Recently, there are many hungry people in the city who have starved to death, and the grass roots and bark outside the city have been picked up by those hungry people, and the situation in the city is not optimistic, and those rice merchants are still hoarding rice and grain, and they are only sold at a high price. ”

Finally, a reliable one came, gently supported his forehead, and said slowly, "Okay, this matter will be left to you to handle, if you can't do it, you won't have to see me, resign and go home." ”

"Yes!" The official was overjoyed, but Wen Li then said something else.

"I have my own measure in opening a warehouse and putting grain, so you don't have to get involved in this matter."

The head of the household was stunned for a moment, and finally didn't say anything, and now it is already a great progress to deal with those black-hearted rice merchants, "I respectfully obey the order." ”

Now Wen Li's words have already become an edict, he is the same existence as the emperor, perhaps, a head higher than the emperor, so there is nothing wrong with calling his words "edicts".

Next, several officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry made speeches respectively, except for the Ministry of War, the others were just trivial things, and Wen Li allowed them without thinking about it.

The Ministry of Rites just said some old-fashioned things, and the Ministry of Industry is to repair the damage in the new imperial city, hoping to allocate some funds to them, as for the Ministry of War, it is to mention the issue of military salaries, and now the army has been expanded repeatedly, and the soldiers' salaries have dropped and fallen, and some even have arrears of military salaries.

Yes, there is no money, this is a serious problem.

The three states of Youbei are basically self-sufficient, rarely develop commerce and trade, and the previous military salaries were transferred from Xuzhou, Yingzhou, Huaiyang and other places, and now Wen Li only has the three states of Youbei in his hands, and this money has naturally become a big problem.

Wen Li suddenly sighed, he waved his hand, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else to perform?" ”

Silence.

"Okay, then retreat."

The officials scattered, Wen Li returned to the inner hall with the support of the inner supervisor, he picked up a piece of the case casually, opened it and flipped it, and then threw it on the ground, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "This lion of Xiliang finally can't sit still." ”

The previous wars were just the troops under Tuoba Yan fighting, and Tuoba Yan himself was still in the imperial capital, dealing with the affairs of the imperial capital, just like an emperor, but in the secret letter just now, it was clearly stated.

Tuoba Yan has already left the imperial capital, leaving only a part of the jackdaws and the forbidden army to guard the imperial capital.

This may be an opportunity to retake the imperial capital, but no one can seize this opportunity.

Wen Li raised his head and looked outside the main hall, and suddenly said, "I really hope that I can meet this Xiliang lion later." ”
