Wei Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and asked anxiously: "How do you say this?" He really didn't understand. He knows how to intrigue in the officialdom, although he doesn't have so many thoughts, but he can also read and understand some official articles and witty words, but this time, he really doesn't understand. It seems that he still has to experience on the battlefield, and it is also in officialdom.

Bai Qi looked at the front of the tent again, and his expression became serious: "Centurion Wei, do you know that Lu Dao, why did the silver taels for the relief of refugees not be sent?" ”

Wei Changfeng's head was a little messy. Are these two issues connected? He shook his head.

"Because His Majesty the Emperor didn't give this amount to the counties at all!" Bai Qi's words were shocking, "After years of war, the treasury has long been empty, where is the money to help refugees?" ”

Wei Changfeng's mouth opened wide in fright. There is no relief at all! In that case, where does the county order have the money to help the refugees? Now, he understands!

Previously, according to his idea, the county order was that he didn't want to bear the money, so he sent the official document to the boss, and waited for the boss to approve the money and then send it to the refugees. In any case, he can be regarded as helping the county commander, even if he doesn't ask the county commander to be grateful, at least he won't make the county commander embarrassed. But now, his rescue just made the county order embarrassed, could it be that everyone knew that he Wei Changfeng could scatter wealth and save people, but the county order could not issue relief money? Not only the county order is difficult, but also all levels are difficult, and even the emperor is embarrassed. Isn't this throwing these officials, big and small, under the name of "death and no rescue"?

"So, are there pensions for the families of the war dead?" Wei Changfeng asked in horror.

"Yes." Bai Qi nodded, "It's just that the silver taels will be halved, and half of them will be paid first, and the other half will be paid," he paused, "and then send it after the country is settled." ”

It's a fart!

Wei Changfeng almost cursed.

The bereavement pension is halved because the state has no money, so it's just that, but what's the matter with paying half first? It will also be "issued after the country is stable", when will the country be stable? Under what circumstances is it considered stable? Does it mean that there is no rebellion or that there is no robbery and theft? This kind of officialdom is not obviously repaying the debt?

Bai Qi guessed Wei Changfeng's thoughts, and whispered: "The unpaid half is in the military department." It is said that it was used to replenish armaments, but no one knows exactly what it was enriched. ”

Wei Changfeng let out a long breath.

Well, he admitted, he did get Zhao Zi'an in big trouble.

If he distributed silver taels to refugees and the families of the war dead with great fanfare, it would not only embarrass the local officials, large and small, but also the people in the military department and the high-ranking generals. But is it true that those refugees are struggling to live and die, and the orphans and widows have no way to make a living, so that these people will not be embarrassed?

A wave of anger surged into Wei Changfeng's chest, and his voice was not loud, but it was very firm: "I must send this reward down." ”

"If you send it with great fanfare, this money will not reach the families of refugees and soldiers." Bai Qi replied calmly.

Wei Changfeng's heart moved, looked at Bai Qi and said: "I only want to send the money to the families of refugees and soldiers, but I don't care how to send it." ”

Bai Qi smiled, he reached out and pulled the pen and paper, and said in his mouth: "Since that's the case, I'll give it a try." I wrote a private letter to the prefectural magistrate, and I thought he would do everything he could to get the money to the people who deserved it. ”

"Don't say I sent the money." Wei Changfeng hurriedly said.

Bai Qi stopped his pen and looked at Wei Changfeng.

"I forcibly took the package of the Xingcheng refugees," Wei Changfeng sighed lightly, "They will hate me, and if they know that this money is mine, they may not accept it." ”

Bai Qi slowly lifted the pen again, but his expression was a little hesitant.

Wei Changfeng saw that Bai Qi was still hesitant, and said slowly: "Be a man but seek to be worthy of your heart, why bother to seek fame?" ”

With a thumbs up, he stopped talking, and after a while, he had already written and handed the letter to Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng didn't answer the letter, he stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "General Bai Shen, the last general is very tired, if there is nothing to do, the last general will go back to rest." ”

Bai Qi smiled again.

This is Wei Changfeng, when he heard that he could handle this matter, he didn't pay attention to it, as for what to do, did he say that the money came from Wei Changfeng's private pocket, and he didn't ask. It's mind, it's trust!

"I'll send someone to deliver the letter." Bai Qi took back the letter, sealed his mouth, and shouted for the guards.

Wei Changfeng saluted Bai Qi and strolled out of the tent. At this moment, the big stone in his heart finally let go. Although he could not save the lives of those soldiers and let the refugees live in peace and contentment, he really did his best, and he will continue to sweat and bleed for the country and these people. He didn't ask the refugees to understand, he just wanted peace of mind, he only hoped that he would dream back at midnight, and that he would not be ashamed to fall asleep again because he thought of these things.

He wouldn't ask Bai Qi how he knew about the shocking news, he couldn't ask about such a thing, let alone whether Bai Qi's money could be arranged. He knows what kind of person Bai Qi is, this is a person who does not take things lightly and must practice what he says. If Bai Qi said that he would definitely be able to do it, he would never have to ask a second time.

Now, he is going back to the tent to rest, although the tiredness of his body has rested, but his heart is so tired. He strolled forward, rounding a small school field, and suddenly with a whoosh, a sharp arrow broke through the air!
