Just when Zhou Bian and others sent Bai Gui away that day, it was a different scene in the barracks east of Chengzhou City, nearly 300 people from the Royal Forest Army were neatly arranged in the barracks, waiting for the young master to come forward, it is said that the king approved the reward for the southward training, no matter how much or less, everyone has a share, so the entire barracks are filled with a wave of joy, even higher than the New Year.

This is the first time in the army to give a reward, in fact, Zhou Bian wanted to come to present the reward in person, but just had the idea to leave, he was stopped by the white eunuch next to him, this white eunuch was loyal to the queen mother, and it was the queen mother's strict order, so Zhou Bian had to give up, even if he sent Bai Gui, he was only sent to the palace gate. Without leaving the palace gate, this is very similar to the emperors of some dynasties in later generations, so that Zhou Bian himself couldn't help laughing at himself, so he had to ask the young master to replace the Son of Heaven to reward.

After sending Bai Gui off, the Taishi accompanied Zhou Bian to turn back, and the young master said goodbye and went straight to the east of the city. In the palace in early summer, Taishi and Zhou Bian walked side by side in front, and later was Taifu, and Jian Jia followed behind the three of them, in recent months, due to the arrival of Zhou Bian in the new century, the business of the royal family has been much better, even if Zhou Bian is reluctant, the people in this palace have also shared some benefits, and now in the royal family, even if it is the most inferior slavery, the daily food is basically no longer coarse bran and wild vegetables, the queen mother and the king's close attendants and maids, and even a little bit of meat scrap every day, Not long ago, the queen mother was in charge of the palace, purchased a large number of brand-new linen cloth, and made two sets of new summer clothes for everyone, so the whole palace was jubilant, of course, everyone knew that all this was brought by the nine-year-old king, so at this time Zhou Bian walked in the palace, and even the servants who swept the floor on the side of the road stopped to salute the king, and the smile on his face knew that it came from the heart, so this made Zhou Bian, who had been away for a long time, have a lot of warmth in his heart.

Gratified that the prestige of this young king is growing day by day, the Taishi is also smiling, and can't help but say with a smile, "Now that the revitalization of my royal family is just around the corner, all this is given by the king!" I didn't think that the Taishi could say such a sycophant, Zhou Bian couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said a few words of modesty, otherwise the young son of heaven would always leave a proud impression.

The two chatted casually and talked about Bai Gui, who had just been sent away, and the Taishi still couldn't let go of the worries in his heart after all, "Wang, it's not only the young master who is worried, but the old man also feels the same way." Although Bai Gui is friendly with my royal family, after all, the time under my king's command is too short, and the king has entrusted him with important tasks, is he not afraid of being deceived, or is Bai Gui too much? ”

I didn't think about it like a young master, Taishi also held back such a thought, understanding the worries of these old ministers, Zhou Bian had to persuade patiently, "Taishi, young master, your worries are known to this king, but that Bai Gui is already rich in Luoyang, that is, he received money from the royal family to recruit troops, to purchase military equipment, and how much money can he take away from the royal family, I'm afraid it is not enough for Bai Gui to earn it himself, the most annoying thing about the royal family is soju, you don't have to worry about this, that is, the method of soju was deceived by Bai Gui, and this king has a better way, It's just that I haven't taken it out yet. In addition, Bai Gui's business is doing very well, after all, there are too many supervisors and some people are a little powerless, but before taking back Luoyang, Bai Gui can't come to Cheng Zhou often, and the wine and car factories may have to supervise the Jia to see more. ”

Don't look at the prison armor at the end, but the ears are very pointed, and when he heard the king talk about himself, he hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed down. As he spoke, a few people walked into the small courtyard where they usually discussed and sat down. Zhou Bian thought about it and expressed his doubts, "Actually, what this king is worried about is that Bai Gui wants to donate his family property, but this king does not accept it, and in the future, the Bai family will be in charge of the royal family industry and its own industry, and it is inevitable that there will be no distinction between public and private, especially the business of selling soju in cooperation with the royal family, I am afraid that Bai Gui's own business will not make money, and others will say that Bai Gui is greedy for the royal family's money." ”

This is also what Zhou Bian thought of after Bai Gui left, and the current situation is that he wants to rely on Bai Gui's commercial ability to manage the soju factory and car factory owned by the royal family, and the soju produced by the royal family relies on Bai Gui's raw materials and caravans to be transported to other places to sell, and one person not only manages the production of the public, but also buys it in the name of a private person, which really has to make people suspicious.

Sure enough, the Taishi and the young master both fell into contemplation, this is indeed a problem, I thought that there would be no problem if the general ledger was still managed by the supervisor, but I didn't expect that there would be such a thing. After half a ring, I only heard the prison guard pat his leg and shout, "King, the slave family has an idea, my royal family now has someone and money, how about recruiting a group of people to transport the soju elsewhere to sell it by themselves?" ”

I thought I had a good idea, but I had already denied it, Zhou Bian didn't get angry and replied, "It's too noticeable to sell it in the name of the royal family, otherwise wouldn't it have been done a long time ago, how could it be distributed to the Bai family?" ”

The overseer was busy and said yes. Zhou Bian also used his brain to recall the practices of later generations, it seems that there are many state-owned enterprises that do this, but in the end, without exception, they all went bankrupt, and the CEOs of those state-owned enterprises also went to the sea, this is not to say that Bai Gui will do this, but he must think of a way to avoid the situation where public and private are sandwiched together. Alas, but it is still a few days before Luoyang is recovered, and Bai Gui officially comes to manage the royal family's business, so he can only walk step by step.

Everyone was thinking about it, and suddenly heard a guard running in, Zhou Bian's heart jumped violently, there is no major event today, one is that Bai Gui has just been sent away, and the other is that the Imperial Forest Army has been rewarded according to military merits, could it be that one of them has gone wrong?

Sure enough, after listening to the guard's words, everyone's faces darkened, and it turned out that there was really a problem with the reward in the army.

It turned out that the young master arrived at the scene and read out the king's decision, all the soldiers were naturally happy to open the pot, and saw that someone pushed a cart of copper coins, and the poor soldiers couldn't help cheering, but at this time, before the first reward was issued, a large group of people rushed outside the barracks, all of them were nobles and clan children in Chengzhou City, all of whom were idlers with titles but no real positions, gathered outside the barracks, and made a fuss to ask for money.

In the past, when the Zhou royal family was strong, the royal master returned after winning the battle, and all the noble clans were rewarded. And at that time, the people who could be soldiers were all family soldiers, and the sergeants and soldiers behind the soldiers meant that such people were people with status, and they were a higher class than civilians, but now most of the soldiers in the Imperial Forest Army are slaves, so the scolding of those idlers outside the barracks is more ugly.

The Imperial Forest Army was forced by strict military discipline, and the soldiers were used to being bullied by the nobles, so they couldn't stop them at the door, and hundreds of people rushed into the barracks at once, rushed up, and went straight to the reward. Fortunately, the young master reacted quickly, and he protected the carts of copper coins, otherwise he might have been robbed. This is the scene when the messenger leaves, and I don't know if the copper coins have been robbed at this time.

As soon as the guard finished speaking, Zhou Bian was suddenly furious, couldn't help but slap the table, and stood up, "These idlers, who are not satisfied with the royal family, actually want to coax the army to reward money, it is really lawless!" ”

After saying that, Zhou Bian got up and was about to walk out, but was stopped by the Taishi getting up, "The king is angry, this matter can be solved by the old minister." ”

Being pulled by this, Zhou Bian's anger in his heart has also eased a lot, according to what he imagined, these children of the nobles of the clan who have no job and no land, they are usually poor, and they have received the royal family for a few months, why did they suddenly come so bold and dare to rush into the barracks, I am afraid that someone will cause trouble. Thinking about it, he turned back to look at the young master, this person was the most suspicious.

Seeing the king's eyes, the young master is also a smart person, how can he not know that the king suspected himself, and hurriedly climbed a few steps forward and knelt on the ground, "King, the old man has been in the palace for the past few days, and he doesn't know what these children are doing. ”

The explanation is to cover up, Zhou Bian snorted coldly, thinking that he was in the palace during the day, and what about that night, and besides, he didn't have to go in person to act, just send someone to instigate, but after thinking about it carefully, there was really no evidence, so he had to say, "This is the best, if this king knows that there is someone who can't get along with this king, this king will definitely have trouble with him." ”

After saying that, he turned his head to the Taishi again, "Master Taishi, this matter is important, whether it is to comfort the children of the clan, or to pretend to be a reward, I am afraid that this king will have to come forward." The royal family has finally come to where it is today, and no one will be allowed to erase this sign. Then the master should stop the king. Before the Taishi could reply, Zhou Bian shouted again, "Where are the guards?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhou Mi and the others hurriedly flashing out, and responded, "The little one is here." ”

"Gather men quickly, and escort this king to the barracks east of the city." Zhou Bian commanded sharply, although he couldn't rush to the scene immediately, Zhou Bian still knew that his own safety was the most important.

Zhou Mi is naturally the only order of the king, and he should turn around and leave, but a majestic female voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard, "Stop, where do you want to go?" ”

This is naturally the Queen Mother, I didn't expect her to come at this time. As soon as the queen mother arrived, her power was really different, and everyone in the courtyard lowered their heads and didn't dare to look directly. Only Zhou Bian put on an angry look, rushed forward and grabbed the sleeve of the queen mother's coat, as if complaining, "Queen Mother, someone bullied Wang Er, and actually wanted to rob Wang Er of the money that Wang Er promised to the sergeant, and Wang Er wanted to teach them a lesson." ”

These words were full of childishness, but the queen mother's face softened a lot, and she said lovingly, "Don't worry, the queen mother is here, and the queen is not in good health, so don't go out, just go out if you have the queen mother." ”

Yes? The Queen Mother wanted to go out in person, Zhou Bian couldn't help but be stunned, but then remembered that the Queen Mother actually used to take care of some things, but after she appeared strongly, she lived in the deep palace, but let the Queen Mother go out of the horse is always a little awkward in her heart, Zhou Bian was about to exit, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother, "This matter has been decided by the palace, Wang'er, you are in the palace, don't go anywhere, the palace will take care of it for you, those scholars and nobles are all very stinky, if it is not for the palace, you really can't manage it." ”

Saying that, the Queen Mother turned to the Taishi again, "Master Taishi, the king will be handed over to you, you have to take care of him, the palace is quiet, suitable for recuperation." ”

The princess still respects the queen mother as always, and hurriedly agrees. Zhou Bian was bitter, and he wanted to go in person, but he couldn't get rid of the queen, so he had to agree, but he opened his mouth to let Zhou Mi lead someone to follow.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother laughed, "The prince doesn't have to worry about the palace, the palace is followed by the tiger in the palace." As he spoke, he turned around and left, and there was indeed a team of armor soldiers standing at the gate of the courtyard, all of them tall, and they were even the tigers that Zhou Bian couldn't command.
