As soon as the words fell, two elf-like girls appeared in front of Ye Chen, but their faces were full of resentment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother, my mother has already promised you, but it's been a month now, and you haven't told us yet." Red makeup also spoke.

"Okay, don't keep your face strained, it's not good-looking, I'll go out first, and I'll tell you when I have dinner in the evening." Ye Chen walked to the door and said.

"Really, then we'll go back first, brother come back early!" Red makeup said happily.

Ye Chen gave the two women a reassuring expression, and then walked out, just now Yang Zhi came to him, saying that Shen Cang was waiting for him in the mansion now, so he planned to go over to see him.

The government of Lin'an City is close to the gate of Lin'an City, and Ye Chen lives in the middle of Lin'an City, so there is still a distance to rush over.

Although Ye Chen has not been in action since he came to Lin'an Mansion, except for the massacre on the day he first entered the city, his deterrent power has not diminished at all, but has become more and more prosperous.

After so much time, the holy decree of the imperial court has already been handed down, and the content is nothing more than a verbal reward such as saying that Ye Chen performed well this time and saved the people from dire straits.

But what puzzled Ye Chen was that in addition to these innocuous rewards, there was not a word about Fang Guoqiang or Qian Tu in the holy decree, as if he was deliberately ignoring.

However, after Ye Chen received the letter from the third prince, he understood the reason, it turned out that he had touched the taboo of Emperor Qi this time, and this taboo made Emperor Qi even more unhappy than the Yin Yang Palace, that is, tax reduction.

The Water Moon Continent is different from other places, the war here has lasted for thousands of years, and the large amount of grain and grass consumed during this time is an astronomical amount that people dare not calculate.

Therefore, the taxes on the mainland will become more and more, so that the ordinary people of ordinary families will not even be able to hand over enough grain to the imperial court in a famine year every year.

It is precisely because of this that the millions of troops in various countries have enough food, grass and materials, and it is fine if one place is exempted from taxes, but if all of them are exempted, I am afraid that the whole country will have problems.

Unless the war ends, all this can only continue, and nothing can change.

If it were someone else this time and dared to make such a private decision to change the national policy, I am afraid that Emperor Qi would have already removed him from his post and dealt with strictly.

However, because Ye Chen had the Yin Yang Hall and Wang Zhitian behind him, Emperor Qi could only show his inner anger without reward or punishment like this.

Although Ye Chen is the prefect of Lin'an Mansion, there is an embarrassing thing now that he only has seven or eight subordinates, and even the officials required by the six ministries are missing, and the previous officials were either taken away or removed from their posts by the previous prefect, leaving all the people who were with Li Min.

And now Li Min took the lead in pretending to be sick at home, so that now in Lin'an City, only Zhongli and Wen Zhong are left to maintain the operation.

This is also thanks to Ye Chen's previous methods, which temporarily suppressed those who wanted to go against him, and because of this refugee matter, Ye Chen also won the hearts of the people of Lin'an City in Lin'an City, which did not make any trouble in Lin'an City.

When Ye Chen arrived at the mansion, Yang Zhi was chatting with Shen Cang, still gesturing with his hands, and he was not even noticed when he walked into the house.

"Brother Yang, is it so exaggerated, can Lord Ye really kill hundreds of people by himself?" Shen Cang asked, although there was a look of doubt on his face, he also believed most of the matter.

"This can still be fake, but I have been following the young master in the back, but it's a pity that I can't do kung fu and drag the young master back, but the young master is really powerful, at least one hit a thousand is not a problem." Yang Zhi replied.

"Ahem..."Ye Chen coughed lightly beside him, he felt that if he didn't show up again, Yang Zhi might be able to say something exaggerated, it seemed that he was really right to let him interfere with the enemy last time.

Shen Cang and Yang Zhi in the room saw Ye Chen next to them and hurriedly saluted, "See Young Master." ”

"See the prefect."

"Okay, everyone is an old friend, no need to see each other." Ye Chen helped Shen Cangdao up.

Ye Chen didn't refuse when he heard Shen Cang's name for him, friendship is friendship, and the fundamental reason why he asked Shen Cang to come over was to subdue him as a subordinate, and Shen Cang naturally understood the truth.

"I was keeping vigil at my mother's grave for a month, and I didn't know what was going on outside, so I didn't come in time, and I ask the prefect to forgive me." Shen Cang got up and said a little embarrassed.

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "This is how it should be, in fact, I should say sorry, my aunt died, and Brother Shen should stay at home for a while longer." ”

"The prefect is serious, don't say that my mother asked me not to keep a vigil for her before leaving, I am not a pedantic person, filial piety is in my heart, not to mention that I also promised the prefect, naturally I have to do what I say, I believe my mother will also want me to be like this." Shen Cang replied.

Ye Chen was stunned, he didn't expect Shen Cang, who was honest and honest in his eyes, to be able to say such insightful words.

"Brother Shen is really a person who values faith and righteousness, if there are any difficulties in the future, just open your mouth, but before that, I hope Brother Shen can work with me with peace of mind, and I will naturally not treat you badly." Ye Chendao.

"Don't worry, Lord Prefect, if it was before, I would still take care of my mother at home, but now I am left alone in the family, as long as Lord Prefect does not dislike me, I can order something at any time." Shen Cang said with a firm gaze.

"That's the best, Yang Zhi, you can take Brother Shen to find a place to rest first, and then give Brother Shen a hundred taels of silver and let him buy some necessary things." Ye Chen said with satisfaction.

"Yes, young master." Yang Zhi replied.

"Thank you, Prefect." Shen Cang didn't refuse, anyway, he came this time to repay his kindness, and he really didn't have any money now.

After Yang Zhi and Shen Cang left, Ye Chen did not rush back, but picked up the letters reported by various counties during this time and began to read.

In addition, there are some miscellaneous things that he has to deal with, although these are not what he wants to do as a prefect, but now Lin'an City is really unavailable, and he can only go into battle in person.

An afternoon passed, Ye Chen finally finished processing most of the letters, and said to himself: "It's been so long, it's time to put things in order, since you have chosen the camp, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

However, Ye Chen did not act immediately, but rushed back in the carriage first, since he promised the two little girls to have dinner together, he naturally would not break his promise.

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Chen walked into the yard, he saw two little girls surrounding him, and their eyes were still shining with a scorching light. (To be continued.) )
