Zhao Da dusted off the dust that did not exist, swept his eyes at the civil officials who were wailing everywhere, strode forward, and entered the Xuande Gate.

They rolled their nostrils and tilted their heads back, proud.

Before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, martial artists killed literati like killing chickens, and no one came out to scream. The first emperor promoted you and gave you official powers, you are good, I really think I am amazing!

See, this time it's a lesson, go back and provoke Lao Tzu again, and crush you all!

The generals were proud and met Chai Rong.

There was a fight outside the palace gate, could the emperor not know?

But Chai Rong turned a blind eye, and after everyone saw the ceremony, Chai Rong took the initiative to step down from the dragon chair, pat this shoulder, chat with that one, and ask about the injury.

Several generals listened to it with a warm heart, it's rare, we were injured, and we almost forgot about it, Your Majesty still remembers, the saint has us in his heart!

"The Expedition of Ten Thousand Miles, it is difficult for you, it is not easy for me, and it is even more difficult for Da Zhou!" Chai Rong smiled again: "Fortunately, everything has passed, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and you will be rewarded!" ”

Chai Rong glanced at Zhao Kuangyin first, "General Zhao, you broke the Great Food Alliance and captured Talas, which can be called a feat, and I should give you a duke!" ”

Zhao Da's eyes lit up, and he was about to thank him, Chai Rong changed his words, "However, you also know that the champion Hou has made so many military exploits, and he is a mere marquis, General Zhao, let your title surpass Ye Hua, you ...... Do you dare? ”

Zhao Da was embarrassed, he was going to be angry, he blamed the damn Ye Hua, he coveted the title of champion Hou, how many years, and he didn't go up.

Now it's okay, with him in his way, no one wants to get a higher title.

I can't help it, I can only hold it.

"Don't dare!"

Chai Rong smiled, "Generals, don't be discouraged, over the years, whether it is recovering Yanyun, or conquering Jiangnan, or conquering the Western Regions, we are just taking back our former homeland." No matter how great your achievements, I will not give you too high a title. But...... Next, if you can occupy a completely new land, such as which general destroyed the Wa Kingdom, captured Tianzhu, or conquered the Great Eclipse...... Not to mention the duke, even if it is a prince, I will not be stingy! ”

What the!

Crowned king!

The enthusiasm of the generals immediately came up, and Zhao Da said excitedly: "Your Majesty, is it going to be a soldier again?" The rest of the people are also full of enthusiasm, this is the tiger and wolf division of the Great Zhou, and it is also where Chai Rong's courage lies!

His Majesty the Emperor was equally warlike.

"The use of troops is certain, but you also know that we have been preparing for more than two years for the use of troops in the Western Regions this time, and we have no perfect plan, I will not rush to send troops, but you can rest assured, the battle is still to be fought!"

After Chai Rong finished speaking, he smiled again: "Let's put down the future things first, and today I will talk about the last battle, the meritorious soldiers, I can't treat everyone badly!" ”

"Zhao Kuangyin!"

"The minister is here!"

"I will make you a loyal and brave uncle, with the rank of captain, and give you 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, and 100,000 yuan of money!"

Zhao Da knelt on the ground excitedly and thanked Tian'en.

"Chen Shi, stationed in Khotan, meritorious, plus the prince and the prince, give eight hundred taels of gold and ...... silver"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Zhang Yongde, plus the prince Taibao, give 600 taels of gold ......"

……

Chai Rong turned into an old man in a red hat and a white beard, and gave out gift bags in a big way, in addition to these famous generals, the rest of the soldiers who made meritorious contributions in front of the battle also had a rich reward.

In addition, all soldiers who died in battle were given an additional 100 acres of land, and the children of soldiers who died in battle could have two places for free schooling, and before the age of 16, all the expenses for education were borne by the imperial court.

In addition, if any soldier who participated in the Great War in the Western Regions is willing to stay in the Western Regions, the imperial court can grant each person 500 acres of land, and if they are unwilling to stay, the imperial court can issue a land certificate, and the soldiers can transfer it to other merchants to encourage the establishment of commercial and military cantonments in the Western Regions......

Although it was a little late, these rewards were abundant, and the whole army was jubilant, and those who had made meritorious contributions to the war still wanted to continue to participate in the war, and those who did not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield were eager to show their skills.

Ordinary people increasingly regard joining the army as the best way to get ahead, and there are countless young people who want to join the recruitment points everywhere, and in some places, they even have to send money to be selected into the army.

Of course, sending money is not a good thing, but it proves from another aspect that the promotion of the status of the army is welcomed and sought after by the soldiers!

Zhao Da came back from the Golden Palace, his face was full of spring breeze, and he didn't even return home, so he came directly to see Ye Hua.

"Master Hou, I'm so happy, my little family background is finally back...... A few! ”

Zhao Da counted with his fingers, "One thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and one hundred thousand yuan!" That's 120,000 in total! But I had 600,000 not long ago, and that's only one-fifth! Zhao Da was heartbroken, and he didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

His mother, Du Shi, took Zhao Da's money and ran to buy stocks, but as soon as she finished buying, a ban came down, and the old lady was stupid, as if the sky had fallen.

The old lady was crying and making trouble, and she was shouting that she was going to beat the drum, and said to His Majesty the Emperor, she is an old woman, what's wrong with buying some stocks?

Why not allow it? Why forced her to sell at a low price!

It's going to kill her!

Zhao Da has always had nothing to do with the old lady, and at this time, there is only the share of being scolded, but fortunately, Zhao Er came back at this time.

Seeing the old lady like this, Zhao Er was very polite, "Mother, you just steal the fun, our family's money is my eldest brother's war exploits, clean, full of hard-earned money!" Otherwise, the embroidered messenger would be able to copy our house, just like Xu Xuan's people! ”

"Mother, I'm not welcome, the eldest brother can have today, he was killed with his life, look at how many wounds he has on his body? How much did you suffer? Your old man only knows about the eccentric junior, do you know no, what did he do in the Western Regions this time? ”

Du Shi hesitated: "Didn't he also go to Khotan, he also went into battle against the enemy, San'er is young, but he is also a man!" Du Shi firmly defended Zhao Kuangmei.

Zhao Kuangyi snorted, "Mother, you are willing to believe what San'er says, then I have nothing to say...... But if the mother is willing, you can ask the people in the Shang Palace, when San'er was in Khotan, how did he pretend to be a craftsman, hide in the workshop, and dare not fight? Also, he coveted the beauty of the Khotanese palace maids, and ran to deceive other palace maids under the banner of his eldest brother and the king of Shang...... Mother, you know no, these are big taboos! If I hadn't spoken for him, General Chen, as well as King Shang, would have cut off his head! ”

Zhao Er, this guy is really ruthless, and he told Zhao Kuangmei what he did in the Western Regions, 1510, even if the Du family doesn't want to believe it!

"He, did he really do that?" The old lady slapped the table angrily, "He wants to ruin the reputation of the Zhao family!" ”

"Mother, you finally figured it out." Zhao Erdao: "What about me, I have brought the palace maid and her family to the capital, I saw it, it is a duty family, it is very good, and the third son is not too young, so I will fake the drama and really do it, set the marriage down, turn around and throw the third child into the army, hone it well, don't ask him to get ahead, just ask him not to cause chaos for our family!" ”

……

Having lost so much money, Zhao Da was quite happy.

"Master Hou, you taught my second brother really well, just what he said, my mother was speechless...... I didn't obediently make a family appointment to the third child, but also called me over, said a lot of words, and sewed me new clothes, I haven't worn the clothes made by my mother for more than ten years! ”

Money is important, but a harmonious family is better than anything else.

Although Zhao Kuangyin has lost a lot, his mood is very good.

"It really doesn't matter if you have more money or less, anyway, it's hundreds of thousands, how to spend it, and the family can't go hungry. From now on, I'm not going to mess with anything. ”

Zhao Da suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "Master Hou, you said that everyone in the world thinks like me, is your stock market over?" ”

Ye Hua chuckled, "That's the truth, but I'm not worried at all, after all, there are still many greedy people in this world." ”

"That's right!" Zhao Da suddenly found that he had a great advantage, that is, he was not greedy! As soon as he was proud, he got carried away, put the two big-footed girls on the case, and said triumphantly: "I think people are not only greedy, but also not long-hearted!" You said that those officials dared to run to impeach their younger siblings, saying that their younger siblings were demon women, they were just bold, let us have an old fist, I have a measured hand, although I didn't kill him, but I always had to lie in bed for two or three months. ”

Zhao Da grabbed the pear on the table, bit off most of it, and said vaguely: "The saint doesn't care at all, you see, these people will definitely be quiet for a while, and the court is finally clean!" ”

Ye Hua frowned slightly, he didn't believe that those people would be quiet.

Zhao Da's fists are powerful, but they can't stand the hearts and minds of literati.

"Look, they won't be silent, on the contrary, there will be amazing things!"

As if to verify Ye Hua's judgment, starting from the next day, one after another, businessmen in Beijing asked for repayment to the Du branch.

During the war in the Western Regions, the treasury was insufficient, and a large amount of money was borrowed from merchants, which was very large, and the person who handled the loan at that time was none other than Xu Xuan, the head of the household department, who used salt and iron income as a guarantee.

Now that Xu Xuan has been arrested suddenly, the power of the Du branch has been divided, and the fiscal and taxation system has undergone drastic changes...... Several major chambers of commerce in Beijing all believed that there was a problem with the debts of the imperial court, and they demanded that the imperial court return them in advance, and some even asked Xu Xuan to come out, talk to them, and give them an explanation.

But the problem is that Xu Xuan is still in the audit temple and is being tortured by Li Yu!

"What a good idea! They are forcing the court to release Xu Xuan! Ye Hua saw through these people's tricks at a glance, and he smiled at Zhao Kuangyin, "See, people have begun to use the power of capital to force the court to bow their heads!" ”
