While Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, and Helan Minzhi were discussing how to deal with it, a guest came to the carriage of Cui Yuqing, the secretary of the military department. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Haha, Brother Yu Qing, is it so leisurely? For brother, this is to see that you are not in a hurry at all. "The laughter is hearty, and it sounds very comfortable. This person gently opened Cui Yuqing's door curtain and walked into the carriage.

Wu Zetian had already ordered the whole army to stop and stop moving forward. So everyone's cars were stopped and ready to set up camp.

Cui Yuqing was stroking the piano in the carriage at this moment, and the sound of the piano was sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low, but it can be seen that his level of stroking the piano is still extremely superb. After hearing this voice, he stopped his hand lightly and raised his head: "Vader, why did you come out for a few days, and you are interested in coming to sit here for your brother today?" ”

I saw someone coming, dressed in a green shirt and not wearing an official robe. is also about forty years old, and he looks a few years younger than Cui Yuqing. However, it is not as elegant as he looks, but he is usually domineering.

"It's been a tiring few days, and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. Every day, in addition to business, I can't wait to lie in the car, and I don't have to come out to see my brother today. Brother, don't blame, don't blame. ”

"It's okay, it's simple in the car, just sit down." As he spoke, he gently took the piano in his hand to the side and placed it seriously. Fang just turned around and continued to talk with the visitor, Cui Yuqing is a person who loves the piano, everyone knows this, so naturally he doesn't care. And the two of them are gentle and polite in every move, as if they have been trained for many years, they seem to have been trained for many years, they don't look special, but they are extremely comfortable.

Both of them are the same, with a bookish air on them. At the same time, there is also a kind of arrogance that is difficult for ordinary people to see, which is due to the arrogance of identity. They are all five surnames of the seven families in Shandong, and they are more high-end families than the royal family in the Tang Dynasty today. How could they not be proud, how could their bloodline not make them feel proud. How can their temperament of poetry and book heirloom not make them feel that they are superior to others.

He gently handed a glass of water to the man named Vader: "There is no tea in the carriage, so Vader will drink it here." If you come about half an hour late, I'm afraid this tent will be set up. ”

"Brother is polite, this white water is the same."

This person's surname is Zheng, his name is Lang, and his name is Weide. It is a branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and now there is a left servant of the household sitting in the middle of the court. The Zheng family in Xingyang is among the Shandong clans, and there is no Boling Cui family, and the reputation of the Qinghe Cui family is far and wide. is not as arrogant as the Fan Yang Lu family, but his strength has never been underestimated.

"How is the household department now? It's been a lot of consumption in the past few days, right? Cui Yuqing asked with a smile.

As soon as he said this, the person who seemed very heroic and hearty just now suddenly became a little gritted his teeth.

"Brother is embarrassed to say? Your military department will ask for money. As if it were a heinous sin for us not to give, one moment for this, the other for that. You don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, my Datang is now prosperous, but what is the big business of this big business? There is no place to live in the east, west, north and south, there are small wars in all directions, and this soldier and horse have not moved the grain and grass first, and I know this little brother. But what about the rest? Armor, weapons, silver, horses, which one is not money? ”

Cui Yuqing looked at him like this, and then listened to these complaints, and instantly wanted to hack himself to death. It's okay to talk about this thing, the Zheng family in Xingyang itself is a poetry and book heirloom, but the business is also the best among the seven families and five surnames. It's this kind of miser character, which has been the case throughout the ages.

Just wanted to open his mouth to make a mistake, but Zheng Lang took a sip of water and continued: "That's not all, where has Your Majesty stayed in Chang'an this year?" Your Majesty went out to patrol all these money, which one is a small amount? Let's not talk about anything else, just say how much money did your military department take from me? Count it yourself, brother. Looking at these soldiers outside the door, my heart is dripping blood. ”

What he said was a bit exaggerated, and Cui Yuqing didn't have anyone to stop laughing.

"No, no, no. You will say this for my brother again, but don't go out and talk nonsense. If it reaches General Xue's ears and says that you spend a lot of money on his soldiers, can he spare you? ”

"It's not that I'm going to say it, it's really the truth. You all open your mouths to ask for money, you don't know how hard this household is. The annual tax income is just a little, and it is thrown out for the people, the officials, His Majesty, the royal family, the lords, and the soldiers. You are not enough every year, and we are losing money every year. Don't say anything else, just that Mingguang armor, to be honest, brother, what use does it have if you go to the battlefield? The death is expensive and the death is expensive, and the annual output is so much, it is nothing more than a good look. As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and took another sip of water, and just wanted to continue, Cui Yuqing took the opportunity to quickly stop it.

Well, if he were to continue, he would have to say that he would have to spend the last day and night. Today's Tobe Shangshu is not young. This household can be said to be even if he, the left servant, has the final say, if it is based on qualifications and political achievements, the last household department is also okay. But Lao Shangshu has not yet begged for bones, so naturally he can't go up. Moreover, Wu Zetian's suppression of Shandong is also the reason why he has been unable to go further.

The squire is just an official on the fourth grade, and he is now at the same level as Helan Minzhi. He has survived all his life and is still stuck here, and it is difficult to get in, but Helan Min is one of the four products.

"Okay, okay, in the future, I will control the finances of the military department for my brother, and I won't need much for some unnecessary expenses every year. You can't just come to me to complain about nothing today, can you? ”

Zheng Lang seemed to remember something, and quickly smiled embarrassedly. However, he was not in a hurry to say that, and arched his hand towards Cui Yuqing: "Little brother, thank you brother." The Ministry of War is the largest department in terms of oil and water among the six departments, and a lot of money is lost every year. If this money can be smaller, it can be regarded as saving a lot of things for the younger brother, thank you brother. ”

Cui Yuqing's eyes were stunned, the unnecessary expenses were not what he said. These are not something that he can stop with a military department, if he agrees, he will pay it back: "Stop, don't be in a hurry." Some things are not for my brother, but I really want to do less. As a brother, you can only do your best from your own hands, but don't think about pit me. ”

"The younger brother knows this, the elder brother can control a little, and the household department is already grateful." Zheng Lang originally said this with some joy, and the two of them looked at each other and felt a little uncomfortable. But these thousands of miles of officials are only for money, don't say that they are others, but they are not so clean, and how can they have the face to talk about others. (To be continued.) )
