Chapter 266: Which is higher and which is lower
As expected, the military horses of various countries arrived at the dam where the embankment had burst, helped to resettle the affected people, and then repaired the embankment in a hurry.
Although there is a military salary, but it is difficult to last a long time, the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran naturally want to take out the silver money to entertain well, do their best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and express their gratitude.
Yu Wendi is a businessman, there is no business he can't do, so these people are here, it is also a big deal, in addition to the daily subsidy per person, Yu Wendi also took out silver money from his own pocket and distributed it to the soldiers of various countries.
The soldiers were naturally happy to receive two salaries.
They are also very proud, so when they work, they work harder.
However, the drinking and gambling in the camp tent at night are also endless.
The soldiers of various countries relied on the money they had, and even the local soldiers had to give them three points, and there were more and more rules, plus they were not in their own country, and there were no strict constraints. Therefore, it has become more and more intensified!
Ding Fu learned about these things, but because Yuwendi asked him to turn a blind eye, he didn't manage it deeply.
However, he also reported to Yuwendi every day on the actions of the soldiers in the river.
"Childe, the soldiers of this other country drink and gamble for money, and they don't look the same! Can't we just take care of it? Ding Fu asked.
"Ding Fu! If you have a child in the future, and another child comes to play with your child, if you make a mistake, will you punish him? Yu Wendi asked rhetorically.
Ding Fuhui said: "Even if other people's children are wrong, their subordinates only scold a few words, and they have to be disciplined by their parents!"
That's exactly what happened! Let's just watch the excitement from the sidelines! If you give them all the money, you won't lose to others anyway, and if you lose to your own people, it won't be a loss; If you lose to someone else, if you don't have enough money, let's lend it to him. You can't borrow in vain, you have to have interest, just a penny of interest! If there are a dozen such gamblers in each army, then we will not lose anything!" Yu Wendi said with a smile.
Ding Fu pondered while listening to Yu Wendi's instructions, and then suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Childe is wise!" Subordinates will do it! We also have gambling masters in our team, and there is no shortage of ruthless characters from the gambling market! More than enough to deal with them!"
"Go ahead! But don't offend them in the slightest, it's all our little God of Wealth!" Yu Wendi admonished.
And the Rouran Queen Mother and Gu Zhuo didn't dare to work the soldiers, and only let them do some light work, but it was all some grinding work, rushing to make straw ropes and grinding fine sand, often all day, endless.
If you want to come to these soldiers, they can do light work and eat less, and the straw ropes, adobe, and fine sand sifted from these are not used up to build the embankment, and they can be sold for money when they turn around, and the soldiers are naturally embarrassed to ask for any additional rewards.
With such a delicate calculation, Rouran did not suffer any losses.
The Queen Mother and Gu Zhuo only hoped that they could build a dam before winter came, before the ice froze, so that they would not have to make winter clothes and cotton boots for these people.
At the same time, taking advantage of the chaos, the secret agents of various countries also actively carried out activities, inquiring for news, finding out the number of routes, and all of them acted non-stop.
Mingyue Tower.
Xiao Mingyue received the snuffbox secretly sent by Yi Wei and played with it in her hand.
"It's all this time, and he still has the leisure to send things. It can be seen that if he is either really idle and panicked, he has already prepared a trick!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"Miss, what tricks does Master Yuwen have?" Amber asked.
"You think! The countries put together thousands of people, although this is to build a dike, but this eating, drinking, lazing, sleeping, must be solved! If you don't have a little calculation, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"Huh? Why did the young lady persuade His Majesty to send troops and set an example for all countries? In this way, wouldn't the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran have a lot more military spending? Amber said.
"Amber, Amber, think about it, if there were no people, when would the dam be repaired? It's already October, and the climate in the north is cold, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to finish the construction period day and night! Now that there are a few thousand of them, I estimate that it will be more than a month at most! It's reluctant for the child to catch the wolf! Let the people on both sides of the Yellow River not be troubled by floods from now on, even if they let them put some blood from the treasury, what about it! Repay the favor!" Xiao Mingyue explained.
When Amber heard this, she suddenly realized, nodded quickly, and said, "That's the truth!" Why can't the slave and maid think of it! It is also worth it to let the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran spend some money in exchange for the early end of the embankment construction period!"
"That's right! Okay, I promised Your Majesty to make osmanthus cake for her, go and prepare it!" Xiao Mingyue commanded.
"Yes, Miss, the slave will go and prepare!"
"Hey, wait, I saw Chenyu coming to you yesterday? Why didn't you take care of people? People are now also the national teachers of the three products, and you are so snub to others? Xiao Mingyue asked.
"Miss, Chenyu came to find the slave maid, but the left is just some inconsequential things, the slave maid is worried about delaying his time, so she doesn't want to talk to him more!" Amber whispered back.
"For public and private, you shouldn't snub him. In this way, after the osmanthus cake is made in a while, you go and send a plate to Qin Tianjian!"
"Miss...... I ......"
"Alright! That's it!"
Inside the Hall of Diligence.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Yushi asks to see you!" Chun An stepped forward and said.
"Let him in!" Chen Xian put down the "Art of War" in his hand and said.
"Yes!"
"Lord Yushi, Your Majesty has announced your visit, please please!" Outside the hall, Chun'an said to Zhu Yushi.
"There is Father-in-law!"
Afterwards, Zhu Yushi entered the hall, came to Chen Xian, said goodbye, and knelt down.
"Don't be polite, this is not above the court, there are only you and me. Go ahead! But what's going on? Chen Xian looked at Zhu Yushi and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, our spies have indeed made some progress! Master Yuwen spent half of his time in the palace, and many confidential matters were carried out in the palace. Our people followed Ding Fu beside him, and found that every other month, he went back to the mountains of Xishan, nominally to visit his parents, but in fact, there were other people! As for the house, there is only the daily thing of eating, drinking, and Lazar, pretending to be like a gentleman! Zhu Yushi said.
"Someone else? Who is it? Chen Xian stared at Zhu Yushi tightly and asked.
"The other party's vigilance is very high, and our spies have not confirmed it further for the sake of safety, so as not to startle the snake!" Zhu Yushi said.
Chen Xian nodded and said, "That's fine, let's keep an eye on us, and we must find out our identity!"
"The minister obeys, but ...... One more thing! It doesn't seem reasonable that this Yuwen Taishi indulged the soldiers sent by various countries to drink and gamble, and generously rewarded them with other rewards!" Zhu Yushi said.
"His trick is to give up small profits and win people's hearts! I wonder if when those soldiers come back, there will be his people inside!" Chen Xian said.
"So we're going to sit idly by? Ignore it? Zhu Yushi asked hurriedly.
"Don't be anxious or afraid, since we sang this play with him, we have to finish singing. Besides, until the last minute, it is not certain who will lose and who will win!" Chen Xian admonished.
"Yes, Wechen will continue to tell the spies to keep an eye on it!"
"With Lao Aiqing, after the matter is clarified, the widow will definitely not treat you badly! The largest mansion in the south of the city, the widow has already bought it for you!" Chen Xian said softly.
"The minister has thanked Your Majesty, and the minister must do his best to His Majesty in this life, and then die!" Zhu Yushi kowtowed and thanked him.
Zhu Yushi walked out of the main hall, and Chun'an hurriedly smiled and flattered: "Congratulations to Lord Yushi!" Congratulations to Lord Mishi! Your Majesty's weight! In the future, the great task will be on the rise, and the days of soaring are still ahead! Don't forget to bring more minions!"
Zhu Yushi smiled and said, "Father-in-law Chun'an is polite, father-in-law is a big celebrity beside His Majesty." Now that Zhao's father-in-law is old and old, he has returned to his hometown, and his majesty relies on his father-in-law the most, and in the future, Zhu is afraid that he will let his father-in-law speak for me in front of His Majesty!"
"It's easy to say, this is nature!"
"Hahaha, thank you father-in-law!"
"Your Excellency is welcome!"
……
Amber followed Xiao Mingyue's instructions and sent the finished osmanthus cake and a pot of warm wine to Chenyu.
When the guards of the Qin Heavenly Prison saw Amber and knew that she was a regular visitor, a few of them joked and joked, "Oh, Miss Amber is thinking about us Lord Chenyu again, isn't it?"
When Amber heard this, she said angrily, "You little eunuchs with big mouths, don't worry, I'm annoyed and kick your ass." This is on the orders of our county lord, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to send anything!"
The little eunuch smiled and said, "Girl, don't explain, it's like drawing eyebrows on a crow, the more you draw it, the darker it gets!"
"I'm too lazy to bother with you!"
Amber then went in and gave Chenyu the osmanthus cake and warm wine and placed them on the table. Seeing that Chenyu was divining with a turtle shell, and there were words in his mouth, he couldn't help asking, "Hey! Chenyu? National teacher? Are you speculating on the fortune of the country again? "
After a moment, Chenyu slowly opened her eyes, looked at Amber, and said, "Definitely! Definitely!"
"And what do you use your tortoise shell for divination?"
"Our business!"
"What? Our business? What's the matter with us? "
"A lifelong event! Don't you know? Didn't the county lord already acquiesce and plan to marry you to his own division? Why are you pretending to be stupid!" After Chenyu finished speaking, he grabbed the osmanthus cake on the plate and ate it.
While eating with relish, he nodded and exclaimed: "It's delicious!" Ay? Pour me the wine!"
"Nonsense, I'm not ashamed! It's so beautiful! I warn you! Don't talk nonsense in the future! Otherwise~ Otherwise, I'll poison your wine next time!" Amber pouted and deliberately threatened.
"Good! Then you'll be widowed for the rest of your life! Come to think of it, you're so pathetic!" Chenyu said unhurriedly.
"Shameless! I'm never coming to you again!" Amber turned to leave.
"Good! I'll look for you then!" Chenyu said to Amber's back.
"Don't come!" Amber said as she walked away quickly.
Chenyu looked at the osmanthus cake and warm wine, smiled and whispered, "Silly girl!"
