Chapter 44: Lin Taikeng

Before noon, the divine reward came as promised.

Li Qing received the reward, and was about to enter the palace on behalf of Shaoge to thank him, when he suddenly heard that Sun Youguang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Ming Chongshan, the squire of the Ministry of War, came together to see the prince.

"Who?" Shaoge raised an eyebrow, "Lord Yuezhang is here?" See you - of course. ”

He picked up a jug of wine, took a few sips, spilled some on his chest, and walked towards the lobby with vague steps.

"Master, they must have come to ask the teacher for the matter of the three thousand soldiers!" Li Qing said urgently.

Shaoge rubbed his face, turned his head with a smile, and shook a finger: "Li Qing, don't talk about it later, let them know that I was resting in the flower building last night." ”

His voice was loud, faintly transmitted through the flower screen to the lobby.

Sun Youguang and Ming Chongshan exchanged light in the corners of their eyes, silently.

When Lin Shaoge staggered and appeared, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was shocked that Ming Shilang was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

"Father-in-law!"

Sincere, heart-to-heart.

"Lin Shizi is drunk! I am Ming Chongshan, the squire of the military department, not the father-in-law of the son! ”

Ming Shilang was shocked. His daughter Ming Yuyan entered the palace a year ago, and now she has just been promoted to a nobleman, so she should call "father-in-law", but she will be killed.

He had no idea that he had another daughter.

Shaoge looked at him casually. Ming Chongshan's face was white and beardless, slightly blessed, and there were no traces of the former martial champion on his body.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've mistaken someone, father-in-law. Sit, both sit, what are you doing standing? There is no shortage of chairs in my house! ”

"Ahem!" Sun Youguang sat down, stared at the ground in front of him, and motioned for Ming Chongshan to get to the point.

"I have come today for official business. Some doubts are answered by Shizi. "In front of his father-in-law, Sun Youguang, Ming Chongshan is used to being cautious.

"Say, talk, you're welcome." Shaoge lazily nestled in the chair, supporting his forehead with one hand, looking like he had a hangover and a headache.

"The three thousand sergeants of the prince..."

"Hah!" Shaoge slapped the armrest of the chair a few times, interrupting Ming Chongshan, and grinning to the root of his ears with a smile, "I knew that the imperial court would not take advantage of me!" The two adults of the military department came here in person, and they must have returned the military salary I just paid?! ”

"Army... Rates!? The two looked at each other, a little dazed for a moment. Before they came, they had already imagined various situations that might happen today, such as how to coerce Li Qing if they couldn't see Lin Shaoge at all. For example, Lin Shaoge didn't admit it, how to throw the evidence in his face and catch him off guard. For example, Lin Shaoge was panicked and scared, how to threaten him and get the greatest benefits...... I just didn't think about this stubble, military salary?!

"Isn't it?" Lin Shaoge looked disappointed, "The soldiers I spent money to recruit were transferred and used by the imperial court, shouldn't the military salary be repaid to me?" ”

Sun Youguang sank his face: "The son of the world doesn't have to pretend to be crazy and stupid. Those 3,000 soldiers are almost all discrete, how can the prince explain? ”

"Why explain?" Shaoge looked surprised.

Sun Youguang and Ming Chongshan made eye contact - "Is this really stupid or pretending to be stupid?" "Hell knows!"

"Shizi is admitting this? Doesn't the prince feel that raising a discordant army in Beijing is ill-intentioned? Sun Youguang said in a deep voice, faintly carrying official authority.

Lin Shaoge looked at him like an idiot.

Sun Youguang faintly felt that it was not good.

"Lord Shangshu Sun of the Military Department, right?" Lin Shaoge sighed, "When I first arrived in the capital, I wanted to eliminate harm for the people, make a name for the people, make a name for all, and do a great cause, so I asked the saint for a decree to suppress bandits. When you asked you for someone, what did you say? Oh, there aren't so many soldiers in Beijing messing around with me? Li Qingβ€”" he raised his voice, "is that right?" He held out an index finger and tapped it lightly next to his temple.

Li Qing's face was expressionless, and his tone was flat: "Lord Sun is saying that there is a shortage of manpower in Beijing, and it is impossible to draw out redundant soldiers. ”

"It's all the same, it's the same." Shaoge waved his hand, "Then I will recruit people, and it is also approved by your military department." ”

"Not bad." Sun Youguang's eyes were heavy.

"Ah, the list is posted under the city gate, and this son personally added a line of cursive writing at the back, Lord Sun, you won't read it and stamp it with the big seal of your military department, right? Tsk, it's unacceptable to do things sloppily like this! Master Sun, you are in charge of the Great Seal of the Army, this is the trust of the Holy Lord, you must always remember the Holy Grace, and you must not get carried away. You have a lot of things to do, but no matter how busy you are, you can't derelict your duties! It's dangerous! This is to disregard the safety of the saint and the fathers and villagers in Beijing! It's okay for me to do this, my son is dedicated to the people, this heart can be seen by the sun and the moon, if it is next time, Lord Sun will still casually put a seal on people, in case it is used by some bad people and thieves, but something big will happen! Lin Shaoge chattered endlessly, Li Qing's face was solemn, and he held back a constipated expression, who said three or two sentences last night, and claimed to have talked too much?

Sun Youguang's chest was slightly bulging, and he was very angry.

"Ming Shilang, do you know what Lin Shizi added to the list?"

Ming Chongshan frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't have a clue. After posting the list, Lin Shaoge did sit in the sedan chair, letting people hold the pen and inkstone, and Long Feifeng Wu drew a few strokes, and he didn't feel anything wrong at the time, so he went with him.

No one cares about this at all. Who is full to go with a fool?

Lin Shaoge was heartbroken: "The style of officials in Beijing has been so lazy!" I want to be different, even the new girl in the building has the surname and mood, I have to do it myself and figure it out! ”

Li Qing secretly rolled his eyes. If you have the ability, you can say this to Ming Shilang and his daughter.

"Lord Ming, if you want to be fine, you can help more, Sun Shangshu is your father-in-law, he made a mistake, and it is not your benefit, right? Father-in-law! Oh, I'm confused again, he's your father-in-law, you're my father-in-law... Ah no, you're not my father-in-law yet......"

"What did Lin Shizi add to the list?" Sun Youguang didn't want to talk to him anymore, looking at Lin Shaoge's handsome face, he only felt panicked in his heart.

"Misalignment comes first! Triple the monthly money! Shao Ge smiled, "The leaves fall back to the roots, and the draught does not forget the people who dig the well." Shaoge was born in the wrong place and raised in the wrong place, so he naturally had to take care of the villagers more. ”

Ming Shirou remembered. Priority is given to discrete people, and the monthly money is three times. Sure enough, this sentence is true.

It's just that... At the time, who would care about this? Anyway, it was him Lin Shaoge who paid out of his own pocket.

The soldiers were given one tael of silver per month, which was much more than the normal salary.

Thrice?! There are a lot of discordant people in the capital, and when they learn that there is such a good thing, whoever doesn't come is stupid! You must know that the serious aunt of a big family will only pay two taels of silver per month! said that it was a bandit, who didn't know that it was the prince who came with the wrong place to mess around? Eat and live, take three taels of silver for nothing every month, who doesn't love to come?

Sun Youguang and Ming Chongshan glanced at each other, knowing that it was impossible to ask the teacher for the crime today.

"Nine thousand taels, well, eight thousand. When will the Ministry of War allocate money to me? I arranged for someone to come over to receive it, so I don't want to trouble the adults to send it over in person. By the way, next month's military salary is naturally issued by the Ministry of War, and the list is stamped, in black and white, three taels per person per month, and Lord Sun will definitely not make the soldiers feel cold. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Oh yes!" Lin Shaoge's eyes lit up.

Sun Youguang and the others couldn't wait to rush up, one hugged his waist, and the other covered his mouth.

Please don't say it, let's go, we can't go?

"On the side of the conscription camp, there are about 7,000 reservists, and since the military department has taken over, Shaoge naturally does not dare to overstep his responsibilities. I'm tired of Sun Shangshu to accept it together! He stood up and made an honest gesture.
