It's really the emperor's grace, this is Nan Batian's opinion. Five hundred, although it is not as greedy as himself, but this money is above board. You can spend it casually, and you can spend it with a solid heart.

In fact, this can't all be blamed on Nan Batian's penchant for embezzlement and bribery, there was no fart in the court before, didn't he scavenge some of this yamen up and down to drink the northwest wind. Besides, he bought this county order, so he had to get the capital back.

Li Ji stayed in the county government for a while, inquired in detail about the copper mine and coal mining in Huangling Mountain, and then returned to Beijing.

As soon as Li Ji left with his front foot, Nan Batian immediately ordered: "You guys, go find a piece of yellow silk quickly."

The official didn't know why: "My lord, what are you looking for yellow silk?"

Nan Batian pointed to the ground: "This is a stool made by the Son of Heaven, you frame it, and the official will offer it."

Officer: "......"

The reward given by Li Ji is coming, and he is so happy that Nanbatian walks like a wild goose in autumn, walking into a 'human' character for a while, and a 'one' character for a while. Ah, here comes the copper coin.

"Tap, tap, you guys move me to the backyard." Nan Batian commanded two officials carrying wooden boxes.

Official A: "My lord, let's walk well." You walk sideways for a while, and walk backwards for a while, and the villain can't lift it. ”

"Later, the official will reward you two with copper plates, can you lift them?"

The official nodded hurriedly: "Lift, move."

In the backyard of the yamen, the two officials sweated profusely and carried the wooden box to the door of the Nanba Tianaba.

Nan Batian squatted down happily and stroked the wooden box: "Good thing, what a good baby." I don't know if it's talking about the copper coins inside or boasting about the box.

The two officials stretched out their hands: "Your Excellency."

Nan Batian's face immediately changed, and he reluctantly took out four copper plates from his sleeve and gave them to the two.

The two officials looked at each other, this was too cute, and the two of them were immediately unwilling.

Official A: "My lord, you said to give the two copper plates, but you really gave them to the two?"

Ya Gong B: "That is, what can you buy with these two copper plates, a pot of tea is not enough."

After years of war, the circulation of copper coins at the end of the Tang Dynasty was low, and a pot of coarse tea also cost five yuan.

And Li Ji rewarded 500 copper coins, and the consistent money is 1,000 copper plates, and 500 copper plates is 500,000 copper plates.

Two copper plates for one person, you can pick them.

Nan Batian glared: "Why, there are a lot of two copper plates." Get out! ”

The two officials reluctantly took the copper coin, and at this moment, a voice like killing a pig came from far and near: "Nan Batian, you kill a thousand knives!" Return the old lady's money. ”

It was Nan Batian's wife Zhen who arrived, and the two servants knew how powerful this was, so they immediately threw down Nan Batian and hid far away.

Nan Batian's liver trembled a little: "Husband, madam, listen to me......"

"You have no conscience, you just use your own money to recruit soldiers. The old lady's dowry has also been looted by you, who killed a thousand knives, how can you live in the future! Saying that, Zhen sat on the ground and cried.

Nan Batian was afraid of his wife, but since he slapped his wife twice that day, Nan Batian felt that he was not so afraid of her: "Enough!" What a howl, I'm not dead yet! ”

Sure enough, as soon as Nan Batian became angry, Zhen stopped crying and asked cautiously: "Then, can we get back the money we threw out?"

Nan Batian was slightly startled, how did this lady, who had always been like a tigress, become so docile since she was beaten? When she was angry just now, she immediately became honest.

Nan Batian quietly pinched his thigh, making sure that it was not a dream. His heart immediately lit up, as long as he was more fierce, the more honest this old lady would be.

Hmph, feng shui takes turns. I've been bullied by you all my life, and it's my turn to raise my eyebrows: "What to fish, this official will be a clean official who is as clean as water and as cheap as a mirror in the future." The matter of making money has to be mentioned again! ”

Zhen stood up suddenly, "Smack!" slapped Nan Batian, and then grabbed his ear: "You kill a thousand knives, the old lady sees that you have made great contributions to our Yique County, and you will give you some face in front of people." You still kicked your nose in the face, I haven't settled accounts with you about beating my mother last time, I can't control if you want to be a clean official, you have to get me back the dowry money of mine! ”

The two officials in the distance couldn't help grinning, they both felt pain for Nan Batian.

This style of painting changed abruptly, and Nan Batian couldn't accept this cruel fact for a while. He wanted to try again, so he pretended to be angry: "You old lady, let me go!"

But this time it was not good, Zhen didn't care about him at all, and his own ears were still in the hands of others, and Nan Batian didn't dare to act rashly.

"Smack!" , another slap in the face: "This is the old lady who returned it to you, this is interest." He slapped him again.

Nan Batian immediately became honest and coaxed: "Madam, I know it's wrong, it's wrong, your dowry money has been retrieved for you."

When Zhen saw the box on the ground, he couldn't help but let go of his hand, and asked suspiciously, "Where is the money?"

Nan Batian, who wanted to turn the tables but fell into the abyss again, covered his cheeks, and his right ear was already red like a ripe red pomegranate: "Madam, please see, this is a 500 copper coin personally rewarded by the Son of Heaven." Enough, enough money for your dowry. ”

Zhen squatted down, opened the box and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted: "This is a reward from the Son of Heaven?"

Nan Batian immediately became majestic again, and he patted his chest: "That is, Your Majesty said that I have made meritorious contributions in defending the city, and I will be rewarded with five hundred copper coins."

Zhen stood up and glanced at him, Nan Batian, who had just become majestic, was a head shorter, he covered his cheeks and lowered his head and smiled: "Madame, this money should be regarded as a dowry to accompany you."

Zhen snorted: "I'm not the one I don't know, you are also a parent official, and now the people of the whole city are praising your merits." Thou shalt not lose thy dignity before men, and let the people reproach thee behind their backs. Since the Son of Heaven has brought you up, you will be diligent and make some achievements, and the court will naturally not forget you. When you soar, my mother and I will follow suit. ”

Nan Batian was resigned, nodding in agreement.

The news of the defeat of Zhu Youwen by the imperial court spread all over the world, and Li Keyong, the king of Jin, was eating wine, and when he heard the news, he was so frightened that his wine glass fell to the ground.

After thinking about it, Li Ke was no longer able to confront the imperial court, so he had to write to the imperial court, willing to resume paying tribute to the imperial court.

Zhao Kuangning, the king of Chu, made it clear that he was willing to submit to the imperial court, and all the feudal towns saw that the king of Jin was obedient, and they were so frightened that they expressed their willingness to pay tribute.

Only Xichuan Wang Jian and Wei Bojun Luo Shaowei have not moved for the time being.

Zhaozong trusted Wang Jian and asked him to lead the forbidden army to attack Xichuan. As a result, after taking Xichuan, Wang Jian established himself as the king, and he knew that Li Ji would not let him go, so he simply did not pay tribute.

As for Wei Bojun Luo Shaowei, he was tricked by Zhu Youwen to attack Bianzhou and offended the imperial court. So I don't do anything, I just keep silent.
