It was a great victory that had never been seen before.

Although the thief army is not more than 10,000, this thief army is under the banner of Li Tang, and the blow to the Wu clan in Luoyang City is very great.

It can even be said unceremoniously that if it were not for today's collapse, it might even shake the foundation of Wu Zetian's rule.

Wu Zetian looked at Qin Shaoyou with a faint gaze, this guy ...... The surprise brought to himself was so great that the current Wu Zetian was still in a state of excitement, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

After a long time, Wu Zetian looked around and said: "Yang Shaofu rebelled and has been ambushed, but what the court has to face, there are also thieves in Shandong, Zhu Qing thinks how to quell the rebellion?" ”

Wu Zetian did not turn his attention to Qin Shaoyou, but began to 'care' about the situation in Shandong.

This obviously has some deep meaning.

If it was said that Wu Zetian had said anything before, many people in this hall were afraid that most of them would fall into silence, because the contest between Li Tang and Wu Zhou, for them, before they knew the winner or loser, it was really not appropriate to put their lives into it as a bet. But now...... The big picture has been decided, and it's time to show loyalty to the victor.

"Saint, the minister thinks...... After this battle of Mengxi, the thieves of Shandong are no longer enough to suffer, and the defeat is only in the evening, only need to order the states to strictly defend and order the governor Chen Jingchun and Xu Tu to enter the suppression, and the saint is now concerned about how to restore farming after the suppression, so as not to suffer from the loss of harvest after the people of Shandong suffer from the military disaster. ”

Wu Zetian looked at the person who spoke, and this person was Fang Yi, the prince of Taiyuan County.

Wang Fangyi was a famous general in the first emperor period, and he had a very high reputation in the army, but Wang Fangyi was a close relative of Queen Wang, so Wu Zetian had long been suspicious of him, and he had planned to cut him off a long time ago, but Li Chong's mutiny completely disrupted the deployment, and now he never imagined that even Wang Fangyi would run out at this time. talked about the victory of the imperial court, Li Chong was just a grasshopper after the autumn.

It can be seen that the civil and military forces in the DPRK have completely lost their expectations for Li Chong at this time.

Wu Zetian smiled, and then said: "Although this is the case, counterinsurgency is not a trivial matter, and it is always wrong to be cautious." Her mood was particularly hearty, and it seemed that it was not enough, so she said to Cui Jing: "What does Cui Qing think?" ”

Cui Jing said: "Li Chong is just a small night, so there is nothing to be afraid of." What the county lord said was very true, and the minister thought it was true. ”

Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing, and said: "In this case, then ask Feng Ge to draw up a method for dealing with the aftermath as soon as possible, and then order the military department to urge all departments to carry out it as soon as possible to wipe out this thief army." ”

After that, she seemed to be in high spirits, and suddenly said: "I heard that since the establishment of the solidarity camp, most people have been superficial. The combat power is low, all walks of life in the world are united camps, and the only ones who are good at fighting are the first battalion of Mengxi and Qin Shaoyou. Tell me, why? ”

Everyone in the hall knew that at this time, the unity camp could no longer be the existence of a grass platform team.

Maybe when the solidarity camp is created. It was just a whim of Wu Zetian, but now, once the Son of Heaven personally asked. has made such a great achievement, how can it be ignored.

Qin Shaoyou cheered up and said: "In fact, the crux of the unity camp is nothing more than two, one is that the unity camp is under the state capital, and the state government is responsible for political education and prison, how can you care about this military matter?" As a result, the state capital does not know that there is a unity camp, and the unity camp has ambitions that are difficult to reach, so naturally the grandmother does not hurt and the uncle does not love it, and is let go of others, and the vast majority of people are superficial. The difference between the minister's Mengxi camp is that although the state government ignores it, the minister does not want to see the good men in the camp waste their time, so he stepped up his training, and this has some appearance. ”

Wu Zetian nodded in agreement and said, "Be loyal to your duties, this is the example of Zhuqing." There are so many officials in the imperial court, there are not only officials to check, but also the supervision of the imperial history platform, and even more officials to watch, but even so, there are still many people who are still laissez-faire. On the other hand, Qin Qing is in charge of the unity camp, no one cares, but he can always keep his loyalty to his heart at all times, if everyone is like this, why worry about my great Zhou not prospering? ”

Qin Shaoyou felt a little embarrassed, having said that, being praised by Wu Zetian like this was a bit like someone else's child, but I was afraid that the minister of the hall would feel a little uncomfortable when he heard it. Your Majesty, you're cheating on me.

But despite this, Qin Shaoyou is not a very cautious person, he has become someone else's children's series, he is in the limelight, and he may be hated by others, but so what? Back then, you bastards, when you pressed me Qin and sent Qin to Mengxi, you wouldn't have thought that there would be today!

Qin Shaoyou thought about it, there was an inexplicable sense of pleasure in his heart, and he continued: "Your Majesty, the second problem lies in the food households, the court has rules, fifteen households smoke one ding, and these fifteen households also support one ding, it stands to reason that there are nearly two hundred dings in Mengxi Camp and three thousand food households, but in fact, Mengxi County has only allocated eight hundred, eight hundred households to raise one hundred and seventy-six people, and it is a problem for this group of brave people to even eat and drink, not to mention the supply of swords, guns, swords, halberds, war horses, and drills. But the problem is that if the minister's Mengxi camp asks for 3,000 households from Mengxi County, then the first problem arises again, because the court ignores it, and because the state government ignores it, the people in the county see this, and naturally they are also up and down, so the unity camps are almost destitute and miserable. And the reason why the Mengxi battalion has today's combat power is only because...... Minister...... I paid out of my own pocket. ”

Qin Shaoyou is a very realistic person, he won the battle, and the soldiers have been trained for you, so it stands to reason that he should be reimbursed.

So he began to fold his fingers and calculated: "Take the Mengxi camp as an example, when the minister first arrived at the Mengxi camp, it cost nearly 3,000 guan just to buy weapons and armor, as well as war horses, etc., in addition, the soldiers also need to eat, drink, and all kinds of supplies and horse materials, at least 200 guan per month, and now it is counted, I am afraid that it will cost no less than 4,000 guan......

4,000 ......

Your battalion of less than 200 people actually spent 4,000 in a few months.

All of a sudden...... Wu Zetian was a little dumbfounded.

She had no choice but to purse her lips and smile: "Qin Qing has both merit and hard work...... I ......"

Qin Shaoyou saw her interrupting herself, her heart trembled,, I talked to you about money, you actually talked to me about feelings, this is about feelings, can you talk about money again?

Qin Shaoyou came this time, there were two purposes, one was to accept the reward, and the other was of course to ask for salary, no matter what, after spending so much money, the court should always reimburse a little, after all, he has made such a great contribution, even if it is only half of the reimbursement.

However, Qin Shaoyou obviously did not have much involvement in the tax system of Wu Zhou, and the tax of Wu Zhou followed the Juntian Decree promulgated in the early Tang Dynasty, and the main taxes collected were not money, but renting millet, silk, cotton, hemp, nabu, etc., as for the commercial tax, it was not nothing, but it was very troublesome to collect commercial tax in this era, so if it was money alone, the annual income was only a few million.

Millions of guan seems like a lot, but for such a big man as the imperial court, it is a drop in the bucket, you can raise less than 200 soldiers, and it will be thousands of guan in a few months, and a fool will reimburse you.

Qin Shaoyou was very entangled in this issue, and after plucking up his courage, he decided to continue to interrupt Wu Zetian and said, "Your Majesty, the minister's words have not been finished yet, other than that, this time ......"

Wu Zetian looked a little embarrassed, although Qin Shaoyou didn't directly reach out and ask for money, but the meaning was obvious, in front of so many people, are you embarrassed to talk about money?

Wu Zetian said lightly: "Qin Qing's family is really indispensable, what you just said can be described as a pearl of words, pointing directly to the shortcomings of the unity camp, there is a way that although the country is big, the warlike will die, and forgetting the war will be dangerous; Therefore, this military matter must not be abandoned, the Mengxi Unity Camp has set an example for all unity battalions in the world, I know the root of the problem, and only by overcoming thorns and thorns and eliminating the ills can the court sit back and relax. ”

She deliberately began to groan, as if she was making a decision on the spot, and continued: "From now on, the unity camp is no longer under the jurisdiction of the state capital...... I want to set up a unity battalion in Luoyang, follow the example of Nanya, and divide the fifteen regiments of the martial cavalry regiment into battalions, and govern the unity battalions of all provinces. As for the matter of the eaters you mentioned, I must also ask the province of Shangshu to implement it clearly, and the three thousand eaters are the three thousand eaters, and one less household will not be successful. What does Qin Qing think? ”

Qin Shaoyou really couldn't laugh or cry, he finally understood why it had always been a huge problem to ask for salary, so he had to smile bitterly: "Sage Shengming." ”

Seeing Qin Shaoyou's sad face, Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing, no matter what, people are great contributors who pay out of their own pockets, and they have only heard of the matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king, where have they heard of paying out of their own pockets to eliminate the king's worries.

Wu Zetian pursed his lips and said: "As for the Mengxi Unity Camp, they have made great contributions, how can I not reward them, it may as well be so, whether it is swords, guns, swords, halberds, or war horses, ships, all of them will be given to the leaders of the unity camp, in addition, all those who have made meritorious contributions must be awarded Yongye Tian, and if the merit is small, 50 acres of land will be given, if the merit is great, 200 acres of land will be given, what does Qin Qing think?" ”

In the feudal dynasty, there are indeed few things that directly reward money, generally it is to give land, of course, there are more frustrating, directly take cloth and grain as your salary, you not only have to be responsible for being an official, serving the court, but also have to devote yourself to commercial activities after paying your salary. Of course, in fact, this is not ruthless, what is really ruthless is to send you treasure money directly, and it is the kind in Zimbabwe, so that all your family can eat chaff.

Now that the field is granted, for Qin Shaoyou, it is actually the best result, and to a certain extent, it is actually ...... Qin Shaoyou felt that he was very lucky, fortunately there were no Jiaozi and treasure money in this era, otherwise, with Wu Zetian's temperament, he was not satisfied with the world's treasure banknotes with a face value of 1,000 yuan to go out to pay wages, Qin Shaoyou and his soldiers were afraid that they would really be ready to gnaw on the bark.
