Lu Guitang didn't rest for too long, just waiting for Shang Guyuan and others to deal with Hui Jinghe's aftermath and settle the people of Dingzhou City, and then left the barracks.

Shang Guyuan followed behind him, "Your Highness, Your Highness's injury is not healed, what are you going to do?" ”

Lu Guitang had just gotten on the horse, and was hurriedly pulled the reins by Shang Guyuan, and he looked down at the man who was sweating like rain at this time, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

He remembered what Gu Jin had asked himself: "Is the little prince Shang a staff member in your house, or your old mother?" ”

"I'm going to the Assassin's Mansion to explain some things to Chai Yu, Ah Yuan, now that Dingzhou is safe, you can't stop me anymore."

When he said this, his eyes turned to the road to Shuobei covered with yellow sand.

Shang Guyuan was speechless, but he turned over on another horse, and now, where did he still have the courage to prevent Lu Guitang from going to Gu Jin.

"I'll go with Your Highness."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and rode their horses to the Thorn Mansion.

At this time, the sky is clear, there are not many people on the road, but there are still a lot of vendors who get up early to support the stalls to sell, and now everyone in Dingzhou City knows Lu Guitang, and they have to be grateful when they see Lu Guitang, but it took a lot of time.

When the two arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, it was already dark, and Chai Yu was reading official documents in the study.

In order to avoid his extravagance, Lu Guitang simply exempted the government guards from the court, and went directly to see Chai Yu with Shang Guyuan.

The man's voice was soothing, with a little casualness, "It's been a long time since I've seen Chai Thorn Shi so government affairs." ”

Chai Yu heard this voice and knew that it was Lu Guitang coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and when he saw him and Shang Guyuan walking in with a smile, he couldn't help but smile a little, he had been worried about the city for many days, and now that the crisis had been lifted, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Why did Your Highness come here in person, yesterday the lower official visited the barracks, and heard Captain Chen say that Shang Gongzi is healing your injuries, how are your injuries, but are you all well?"

Chai Yu didn't understand the internal injury, and thought that pranayama would be fine for a day, but Lu Guitang didn't say anything, only waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to be polite, but sat down on the chair first.

Loose and lazy.

"This king came here in person, and he has something to explain to the assassin."

Chai Yu rolled up his sleeves and sat down with Shang Guyuan, only then did he think thoughtfully, "What His Highness said, it must be the matter of Huang Hao and others, don't hide it from Your Highness, before you came, Xia Guan was reading the previous official documents." ”

He said and pointed to the table, which was the former directory of Huang Hao and others, and the archives that Shang Guyuan had previously recorded.

Lu Guitang nodded, glanced at him approvingly, and said with a smile: "This matter does need to be troubled by the assassination, although these mountain bandits have burned and robbed the people of Dingzhou for many years, but there are not many who have done murder and arson after all, and this time it is also meritorious to help this king defeat Yuan Changxin, if the merit can be offset, it is naturally the best." ”

Chai Yu nodded in response, but he knew that this matter should not be sloppy, and it was naturally best to offset the merits and demerits, but these mountain bandits were quite angry, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no false and wrongful people in them at this time.

"The lower officials will spare no effort to do this matter, but looking at His Royal Highness's expression, it seems that there is something else to tell the lower officials?"

Lu Guitang smiled, "The history of Chai Thorn has always been high-spirited, and he can't know the world's affairs, how can he open his mind today and be able to spy on the thoughts of this king." ”

Chai Yu knew that this was a joke, so he only smiled and didn't make a sound, but it made Shang Guyuan feel a little uncomfortable. Your Highness, who is this insinuation!

Lu Guitang ignored Shang Guyuan's inexplicable emotions, and only said to Chai Yu with a stunned expression, "In addition to the matter of mountain bandits, this king has two other things to entrust in this matter, one of which is related to the people of Dingzhou. ”

Chai Yu was stunned, and seemed to think of one thing with Lu Guitang.

"The people of Dingzhou have suffered from the scourge of mountain bandits for many years, the people in the city are uneasy, people's livelihood and human feelings have been affected, over the years, the people have closed their doors every night, even if they act in the daytime, they must be cautious, lest they show their wealth and be remembered, now it is good, the mountain bandits no longer occupy the mountain as the king, and they can also return the people of Dingzhou to a peaceful birthday."

Chai Yu and Shang Guyuan nodded yes together, both of them are smart people, and they don't need Lu Guitang to finish their words to know what he means.

Chai Yu groaned and took Lu Guitang's words.

"But the foundation of Dingzhou has been damaged, if you want the people's livelihood to rest in peace, you still need the help of the imperial court, but now that the court is in chaos, it is difficult to preside over the overall situation of Dingzhou, does Your Highness want to hand over this matter to the lower officials?"

Lu Guitang chuckled and corrected him: "Chai Thorn Shi is the parent official of Dingzhou City, if this matter is not handed over to you, this king is really not at ease." But the stab Shi Qingzheng, presumably it must be a breeze on both sleeves, right? ”

Chai Yu choked, and Shang Guyuan also smiled.

If you want the people to have a peaceful birthday, you need money, but Chai Yu is a clean official, where does he get the money?

Shang Guyuan quietly palmed the folding fan, and had an idea in his heart, "It seems that His Highness is planning to pay out of his own pocket?" ”

Lu Guitang glanced at him, and turned his eyes away indifferently, "Where did this king get the money, the most valuable thing is the house in Bianliang City, it can't be moved, now...... It's better that you have money. ”

Shang Guyuan subconsciously wanted to touch his money bag, but fortunately he knew Lu Guitang's temperament, and he definitely wouldn't really ask for his money, so he had to keep his mouth shut, and he didn't dare to make jokes about this person again.

Lu Guitang saw that his words choked Shang Guyuan, so he smiled again, and said to Chai Yu: "This king knows that it is difficult to raise money, and he is also thinking about it these days, last time Huang Hao handed over all the property they have looted over the years, and roughly estimated, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and after a while, I will let people send this silver money to the Thorn Mansion, and Thorn Shi will take them to prepare for some civilian use, and this year's taxes naturally do not have to be paid, so let the people have a good rest." ”

Chai Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are enough to make the people of this city live a prosperous life for a few years.

It's just that......

Huang Hao frowned, "This civilian is easy to say, but the military quartermaster should also be added." ”

Why did Lu Guitang personally go to the Assassin's Mansion today, Chai Yu could vaguely guess the reason in his heart, he had just been complied with by the 50,000 new troops under Yuan Changxin, which was a rare help for Shuobei, which was in full swing.

Now Gu Jin and Gu Jiangyuan are both in Shuobei, according to the temperament of Lu Guitang, he will not sit idly by, he wants to bring the 50,000 new troops to Shuobei, or if he wants to bring all the 100,000 troops in the city, he will inevitably need to supplement the military supplies, if this silver is used on the people, it cannot be used on the military supplies.
