Liu Minghui's plan is very simple, the current era is an era of interests first! If the soldiers don't pay their salaries, what do you let them use to feed their families? When a soldier can't even eat, he will pick up the weapon in his hand and resist! These soldiers who have fought for you for the silver will also turn the finger on you for the money. This matter cannot be delayed.

Liu Mingli's solution is also very simple. Through the information of the Holy Gate, he learned that there was a group of extremely wealthy bandits entrenched in the Xingyang area. As long as you send someone to destroy this den, you will be able to scrape together this money in a short time.

It's just that this candidate to lead the troops, Liu Mingli chose Zhou Xiaocao. Other generals are much more capable than Zhou Xiaocao, at least in terms of leading troops, they are much stronger than Zhou Xiaocao. But Liu Mingli didn't dare to use it, he was afraid that there would be forces of the loyal king faction here. Tong guò Liu Mingli, he knew why Emperor Tianze changed all the equipment of the forbidden army at the beginning of this year. That's because in the past, Liu Hanbi controlled the foundry industry, and the weapons and armor that eventually flowed into the hands of the forbidden army soldiers were all rags and could not really go into battle to kill the enemy. Emperor Tianze was helpless, so he used the already small amount of silver taels in the treasury to replace their equipment.

Zhou Xiaocao said to Liu Mingli with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, that"

Liu Mingli said: "Don't worry, my family will take care of you, so that you don't have to worry about the future." ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "What does the emperor mean, I still have to go?" ”

Liu Mingli said: "What, do you still want to refuse?" Do you know the consequences of disrespect? ”

Zhou Xiaocao hurriedly said: "I know! Raiding the family and exterminating the family, right? It's ruthless, I'll go. I just can't go! ”

Liu Mingli patted him on the shoulder and said, "Isn't that right!" I expect a lot from you. You can't let me down! ”

Zhou Xiaocao said bitterly: "I'll try my best." ”

Liu Mingli said again: "The matter of the blacksmith shop last time, you raided your house. Got a lot of benefits from it, right? ”

Zhou Xiaocao flatly denied: "Where can it!" Weichen's two sleeves are breezy, and the sun and the moon learn from it! ”

Liu Mingli waved his hand and said: "Okay, you don't need to say it anymore, don't you really understand your little bit of caution?" When I went to your Dr. Zhou's house for treatment, you looked at the silver ticket's eyes, it was called crazy. I mean, this time. You can still reap some benefits. As long as the bandits' money is not touched, just send it back to me in its original form. ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Isn't it? Do you want to tell me to work overtime to do other bandits? Don't do it! ”

Liu Mingli said: "Horses don't eat weeds and don't get fat, and people don't get rich if they don't get rich." If you don't work overtime, you won't be paid! Moreover, if you lead the troops, you will not have the strength to encourage them! ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "You are a serial scheme, I express my contempt for you." ”

Liu Mingli's face sank: "There is so much nonsense, are you going or not?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao hurriedly replied, "Go." I'll go. Wechen has taken his leave! ”

Zhou Xiaocao ran away in a puff of smoke, and Sun Tianshi turned out from the side of the hall: "Your Majesty, did Zhou Xiaocao agree?" ”

Liu Mingli said: "Yes! Heavenly Master, why do you have to appoint Zhou Xiaocao to rush this errand? My men. There are still some experienced generals. ”

Sun Tianshi smiled and said: "Zhou Xiaocao is the reincarnation of Tiankui Xing, as long as he appears, he will gather wealth. This person. It is destined to have an indissoluble bond with money. The emperor has made good use of this person, and the treasury will no longer be empty! ”

Liu Mingli said: "Then it will be the auspicious words of the Heavenly Master." I have a celestial master. It's like one more brainstorm! ”

Sun Tianshi said: "The poor road is here to bid farewell to His Majesty. Poor Dao has been in the palace for no less than three years. It has long gone against the original intention of the Daomen. Therefore, the poor path has decided to leave and go out to practice. ”

Liu Mingli exclaimed: "Huh? Is the Celestial Master leaving? Liu Minghui is eyeing me, my throne is not yet secure, and I can't do without the help of the Heavenly Master! ”

Sun Tianshi said with a smile: "The emperor thinks too highly of the poor Dao!" Poor Dao is just a wild man, where can he help His Majesty's golden body? In fact, if the two Liu fight, they will win a week. This is the will of God. ”

Liu Mingli frowned and said, "The two Liu fight, and they must get a week?" What does that mean? Can the Celestial Master explain it more clearly, I don't quite understand. ”

Sun Tianshi said: "We are all mortals, how dare we leak too many heavenly secrets? Majesty, the poor road has taken his leave! Or three years, or five years, I hope that Majesty will not forget the old bull's nose of the poor road, that is! ”

Liu Mingli looked at the figure of Sun Tianshi walking out of the empty court around the curtain, and suddenly felt that the things that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were desperately chasing were probably not worth laughing at in the eyes of this master, right?

Sun Tianshi's figure became farther and farther away, and only the song clearly floated to Liu Mingli's ears: "Ruthless does not dream in the countryside, and if you have ambitions, you must be an immortal outside things." It is like a resting place for the immortals, and the body and mind do not move to the fairy town. The world travels around and does not move, and it is useless to take care of the heart in the world. Don't work hard and suffer yourself, put down your head like this, choose Shihua Street and Willow Market. The void body was originally nothing but stagnant. What is there is or what is self-determined, what is covetous"

Feeling the meaning of this song, Liu Mingli couldn't help but be a little stupid. From the Tao, can you really be so free?

Zhu Mao, who was waiting on the side, said: "The emperor is moved by that Taoist? ”

Liu Mingli nodded and said: "Outside of the gods, there is nothing to worry about, this is the true temperament!" ”

Zhu Mao said: "Please forgive the slave and the maid for talking too much, everyone else can become a monk, only Your Majesty, absolutely not!" ”

Liu Mingli tilted his head and asked, "Why not?" ”

Zhu Mao said: "Your Majesty is the people, and from the moment you are born, you represent the world, not a person!" If you want everyone in China to follow your majesty to become a monk? Besides, as long as it is for the well-being of the people of Li and cannot leave the house, what difference does it make? Doing a good deed every day is a practice. The emperor is a person who cares about all the people, and if he does a good deed, he will benefit a country, and the good is great! What kind of practice can have such an effect? ”

Liu Mingli nodded and said, "You're right!" You didn't think of these words yourself, did you? ”

Zhu Mao lowered his head and said, "Hehe, this is what Zhou Xiaocao said to the slave maid. At that time, we were discussing Buddhism, and he told the slaves and maids these truths. The slave maid felt that it made sense, so she wrote it down, so that her majesty smiled. ”

Liu Mingli waved his hand: "No!" You said it very well, no, no, it was Zhou Xiaocao who said it very well! Hey? Zhou Xiaocao and Liu compete, they must get a week, they must get a week! This week, isn't it Zhou Xiaocao? Er Liu, could it be that I am right? ”

Zhu Mao said: "The slave thinks so too! ”

Liu Mingli said: "Hahaha! This Sun Tianshi still revealed the heavenly secret! Zhu Mao, let's go back to the dormitory, I need to think about it quietly, maybe there will be another harvest! ”

When she came to the emperor's bedroom, Nuan Qing immediately greeted her: "Your Majesty is back!" ”

Liu Mingli nodded, seeing Nuan Qing, a woman who has never left him since he was sick, Liu Mingli's eyes projected a trace of tenderness: "Well, go cook a pot of tea for me, I, meditate." ”

Nuan Qing blessed him and said, "Yes! The slave and maid will arrange it. ”

Liu Mingli smiled and said to her, "Do you still call yourself a slave?" ”

Nuan Qing's expression froze, then she was happy, and said a little shyly: "Then Qing'er will go and prepare." Burning incense and cooking tea, do you need Qing'er to play the qin for your majesty? ”

Liu Mingli said: "Okay, just play the song you played last time." ”

The little girl Sui'er immediately said: "I'll go, I'll cook tea!" ”

Saying that, she ran away, Nuan Qing looked at her slightly flustered back, shook her head and sighed and smiled: "Look at this girl" (to be continued......)
