Chapter 258: A pot is served
Above the court, His Majesty said slowly.
"Before, the Marquis of Zhongyong said that they were going to Yanzhou, and I was worried that they were just wasting time in Yanzhou, but I didn't expect that they would boost Yanzhou's economy.
The Su family spent a lot of silver taels in Yanzhou this time, and the businessmen in Yanzhou also made a contribution, but what I learned was that the Su family invested the most silver taels.
Prime Minister Su, your son and daughter-in-law are really my right-hand man! ”
In the face of His Majesty's praise, Su Zhiyuan looked sincerely frightened and said busily.
"Your Majesty is really elevating the old minister, the old minister is just doing what he does, and there is nothing."
Although Su Zhiyuan is already the prime minister, every time he is in front of His Majesty, he still looks respectful, which is indeed very satisfactory to His Majesty compared with other elders in the court.
"Prime Minister Su is polite, I have already ordered someone to send the reward to Yanzhou, the Marquis of Zhongyong and Mrs. Tonghou have been in Yanzhou for more than a few months, what they have done for the people of Yanzhou and for the court, I know very well, I will definitely reward them!"
As soon as His Majesty's words came out, the officials in the court expressed His Majesty's sage.
In fact, if you think about this matter carefully, it is naturally reasonable for Your Majesty to be happy, you must know that this time Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing spent a lot of money to improve the situation in Yanzhou.
They did not spend a penny of money on the treasury, so it is conceivable that His Majesty was happy.
His Majesty wishes that in the future, all officials can pay out of their own pockets, of course, not all officials are like the Su family, and they have a shop that makes money every day.
Yanzhou.
Late at night, Shen Baiqing was already asleep, Su Bowen also fell into a light sleep, and when he heard the sound, Su Bowen opened his eyes, and Su Jie outside the door said slowly.
"Master Hou."
Knowing that something should have happened outside, Su Bowen just glanced at Shen Baiqing, who was asleep, he didn't disturb Shen Baiqing, put on his clothes and came outside the house.
"Something."
Su Bowen deliberately lowered his voice, for fear that he would disturb Shen Baiqing's rest, Su Jie said seriously.
"The officers and soldiers defending the city came to report that a group of bandits were planning to invade Yanzhou."
Hearing this, Su Bowen frowned slightly.
In the past, Yanzhou often encountered bandits, Su Bowen had heard of this, and he and Shen Baiqing had been in Yanzhou for a while.
It seems that those people should not know that Yanzhou is no longer what it used to be.
"Take someone with you, come with me."
"Yes."
When Su Jie saw Hou Ye like this, he knew that Hou Ye was planning to give that group of people a dismount, you must know that Hou Ye had been on the battlefield and fought against people from the Western Realm, and these things were nothing to his own Hou Ye.
Not long after Su Bowen left with someone, Shen Baiqing opened her eyes and found that Su Bowen was not around, so she immediately called He Lian to her side.
"Ma'am, something's wrong."
"Where's Master Hou?"
Shen Baiqing slept a little soundly today, so that she didn't hear the conversation between Su Bowen and Su Jie, and when she heard this, He Lian answered truthfully.
There was a group of bandits outside the city, and Hou Ye had already led someone to deal with that group.
Knowing this, Shen Baiqing behaved very calmly, Shen Baiqing couldn't be clearer about her husband's ability, Shen Baiqing believed that these were nothing to Su Bowen.
"You go and tell the kitchen, prepare some supper, and when the Hou Ye comes back with everyone later, you can eat something comfortable."
"Yes."
He Lian was instructed to arrange someone to prepare immediately, and now the tacit understanding between He Lian and Shen Baiqing is getting higher and higher, without Shen Baiqing saying too much, He Lian knows what Shen Baiqing wants, and such a tacit understanding is not easy to have.
Outside the city gate, those bandits were beaten all over the ground by Su Bowen's people, and the people at the head looked at Su Bowen very unwillingly, obviously, they didn't know that there were such powerful people in Yanzhou today.
Su Jie looked at the group, his tone full of mockery.
"Let me tell you, Marquis Zhongyong is now living in Yanzhou, if you want to find trouble in Yanzhou, next time you will die without a whole body!"
Su Jie followed Su Bowen to the battlefield, and the feeling exuded by the whole person was fierce and abnormal, and the group still muttered in their hearts when they saw it.
Seeing that gang of bandits fled in the wilderness, Su Bowen behaved very calmly, originally these things were nothing to him, and they were not something to show off.
Some of the people were terrified when they learned that the bandits were coming, but when they saw the Marquis of Zhongyong appearing with someone, they quickly resolved the matter, and the gang fled in the wilderness, which can be described as very happy.
The people felt more and more that with the Marquis of Zhongyong and Mrs. Hou in Yanzhou, they could live without worries, and they just hoped that there would be more days like this.
Su Bowen ordered the secret guards to follow those bandits in the back, and when he returned to the mansion, Shen Baiqing had already prepared a supper, and the soldiers in the front yard were eating happily, and in the backyard, seeing Shen Baiqing arranging everything like this, Su Bowen's eyes were full of emotion.
"Madam, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard."
Shen Baiqing naturally knew what Su Bowen meant, in fact, these things were really nothing to Shen Baiqing, as long as Su Bowen was happy, she would be happy.
"Husband, do you really plan to let the tiger return to the mountain with that gang of thieves?"
Shen Baiqing thought that Su Bowen would directly capture the group, but what he didn't expect was that Su Bowen didn't make the slightest move.
In this regard, Su Bowen's eyes were secretive.
"I've ordered someone to follow the gang, and I think I'll have an update tomorrow."
In this way, Shen Baiqing smiled, sure enough, her husband has always been not playing according to the routine, and he has been married to Su Bowen for a long time, and Shen Baiqing has already seen Su Bowen thoroughly.
Early the next morning, there was news that Su Bowen's people had already served the bandit's nest, so that the people of Yanzhou admired the loyal and brave marquis very much, and even Zhao Chengshou removed a major trouble.
You must know that Yanzhou in the past was often threatened by these things, I have to say that if the gang of bandits is not solved for a day, the life of the people of Yanzhou will not be able to live a stable life, Zhao Chengshou did not feel that there is much benefit for the Marquis of Zhongyong to stay in Yanzhou, until the reward given by His Majesty was sent to Yanzhou, Zhao Chengshou completely realized the importance of the Marquis of Zhongyong in front of His Majesty now.
In this way, Zhao Chengshou was very glad that he didn't offend Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing at the beginning, otherwise he didn't know what the consequences would be, and it was quite sad to think about it.
Shen Mansion.
Seeing that His Majesty had sent so many rewards, Shen Baiqing was a little distressed, she was really not good at dealing with these things, Su Bowen came to the courtyard, saw these rewards, and then looked at Shen Baiqing with a tangled look, and smiled.
He came to Shen Baiqing's side and said softly.
"These are all rewards from His Majesty, we must accept them no matter what, otherwise Your Majesty's side will be angry."
"I know, don't worry, husband, I will accept these things.
It's just that I don't know if the things rewarded by His Majesty can be used in Yanzhou City. ”
After Shen Baiqing married Su Bowen, she learned that the objects rewarded by His Majesty could not be given away or sold, which made Shen Baiqing a little distressed.
