"Is the princess really fine?"

Zhou Yunxi slept for a whole day, which made Bai Qi and the others a little worried. Although Qin Fengyi's face was not worried, this person had been asleep and couldn't wake up, which always made people feel very uneasy in their hearts.

"Nothing."

Since Qin Fengyi came here, he has 'occupied' the study room in the General's Mansion for his own use. Bai Qi has no complaints about this, after all, in Bai Qi's opinion, there is no Qin Fengyi and his father, and there is no him now.

Bai Qi and Deputy General Qin were both generals under the old Marquis of Qin back then, even if their official positions are not low now, they are no longer under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Qin, he is still respectful to the people of the Marquis of Qin's Mansion and obeys his words.

"But the princess has slept for so long, it's not appropriate." At this time, the person who spoke was Lin Qing, he was sitting opposite Bai Qi, although his face was calm, but there was some hesitation in his tone, "Ordinary people have slept for so long and didn't wake up?" ”

These words made Qin Fengyi silent and silent for a long time.

It wasn't until he put down the letter in his hand that he looked at Lin Qing and said, "The king of the Western Regions has withdrawn his troops, and all the apologies promised to Da Chu will be sent to the capital." ”

Hearing Qin Fengyi say this, Lin Qing was also interested and didn't ask again. After all, avoiding an answer is also an answer in itself. Since Qin Fengyi was reluctant to talk about Zhou Yunxi, there was no need for him to keep asking.

"It couldn't be better." Bai Qi also understood what Qin Fengyi meant after hearing this, so he nodded slightly at this time, "Didn't you say that the Western Regions would compensate the soldiers who died in battle, how should this be calculated?" ”

"If Da Chu dies a soldier, the Western Regions won't die?" Lin Qing heard this and said slowly, "Although it is said that the Western Regions made the first move, they can't be asked to compensate my Great Chu soldiers, but the emperor should come forward." General Bai, you don't understand this reason, do you? ”

Lin Qing's words made Bai Qi's face slightly gloomy.

To be honest, Bai Qi didn't have a good impression of Lin Qing. But at this time, his face was ugly, not because of Lin Qing's words, but because he realized that he hadn't thought of this just now.

Yes, although Chu Ci said that he would let the King of the Western Regions watch and compensate the soldiers who were killed and injured in Great Chu, he actually did not let the King of the Western Regions directly compensate them.

I haven't thought about those bends for too long, and Bai Qi's head can't turn a little.

"Since Lin Shangshu said so, he must have brought the silver?"

Bai Qi glanced at Lin Qing, and his tone was not very polite. Fortunately, Lin Qing didn't take it to heart. Since he had been to the border and felt from General Jiang that the soldiers were disdainful of the Chinese officials in Beijing, Lin Qing had seen these things openly.

Among these great Chus, it is impossible for General Jiang to have such an attitude towards the Chinese officials in Beijing.

"I didn't bring any money." Lin Qing spread his hands and looked very casual, not at all like in Beijing, and he couldn't do without digging a pit for people, "I only brought a silver ticket." ”

"I also need General Bai's help to exchange it, and divide it according to the appropriate proportion." Saying that, Lin Qing paused, "The emperor said that from this time on, the soldiers who died in the battle will be compensated according to this standard." ”

"What a standard."

Bai Qi's face did not change, after all, the compensation given to the casualties in previous years was pitiful, so Bai Qi couldn't stand it. But what if you can't stand it? He didn't have much money of his own, and if everyone gave some of their own money, it would not be enough to sell the general.

"One hundred taels for each family of the deceased, and fifty taels for the injured if they are disabled or seriously injured." Lin Qing said slowly, "If the family can't work and has no income, you can add another fifty taels." ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Qi's complexion suddenly changed slightly. 52 Literature

For ordinary people, it costs only a few taels of silver a month.

If you give a hundred taels, it will naturally be enough for the family to live for a while. Even if there is no one at home, as long as you save money, it will be enough to survive for several years.

"Really?"

Bai Qi was a little unconvinced, and his eyes when he looked at Lin Qing changed subtly. He clearly remembered that when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he mentioned the matter, and the civil officials in the court and the central government dismissed it one after another as soon as they heard it.

Later, when Bai Qifen did not regress, he was able to increase from twenty taels to thirty taels.

Now that it has more than tripled, Bai Qi, I really can't believe it.

"The prince is sitting here, can I still lie to General Bai?"

Lin Qing knew something about Bai Qi's refusal to increase the compensation for the casualties when he entered Beijing, but at that time he was only a minor official and could only stand at the end of the court.

The most important thing is that Chu Ci at that time needed to be taoguang and obscure, and as a person who supported Chu Ci, he naturally couldn't blindly show off. Lin Qing also remembered clearly that after Chu Ci saw the faces of those civil officials at that time, he smashed a room of things when he returned home.

There is anger in the heart, but it cannot be changed. This feeling is the most uncomfortable and powerless.

Now that Chu Ci has become the emperor, the treasury is full, if nothing else, according to the monthly division of the shop under the name of Zhou Ji, plus taxes and other financial resources controlled by the state, it is more than enough to compensate the casualties.

Naturally, in this way, some officials in the DPRK and China were naturally dissatisfied, and they had no room for refutation. After all, before Lin Qing came, Chu Ci directly cut the dissenting officials to an official rank, and suddenly suppressed many officials who were about to refute.

"The emperor is different from the emperor."

Qin Fengyi knew that Lin Qing's words were to let him give Bai Qi a reassurance, after all, in Bai Qi's opinion, no matter how good Lin Qing said, even if he brought a silver ticket, he would not believe it all.

In the eyes of the officers and men in the army, a large part of the civilian officials in the capital are just wine bags and rice bags, which are useless. They will only talk on paper and boast about Haikou, but after encountering things, they will only hide behind them and dare not come out.

"Today's emperor, love the country and the people." Qin Fengyi's face did not change, but his tone was much more serious, "Those moths in the court have also been cleaned up, and the rest of them are also the emperor who turned a blind eye." ”

"Since the emperor has done to clean up, why are there still a few left?"

Bai Qi only understands the things of marching and fighting, and has never been able to understand the curves and curves in the court. If Qin Fengyi didn't make it clear to him today, he would continue to ask tomorrow.

"There are some things that are suitable for them to do."

Qin Fengyi's words were ambiguous, and he said the usefulness of those officials, but he didn't explain anything. But at this point, Bai Qi will not continue to ask.

After all, he could understand the meaning of Qin Fengyi's words, that is, those people were still useful.

"But even if the emperor gives this order, after the silver arrives at my place, it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of catties." Bai Qi's brows furrowed again, looking a little distressed, "Shizi, this is useless!" ”

"If every soldier knows how many taels of silver there should be, how dare they take it privately?" Lin Qing smiled, his voice much softer, "In the past, they took as much as they wanted, how did they ever know how many casualties should get?" ”
