Nanchen Palace, study.

He Tianduan sat on the couch and read the documents handed over by Xie Chonggang.

Xie Chong was drinking tea beside him.

Putting down the paperwork, He Tian smiled at Xie Chong and said: "The climate is good this year, and the land production has increased a lot compared with last year. ”

Xie Chong didn't stand up, in recent years, His Highness has become more and more indifferent to etiquette, and the people below have been infected.

Just sat down and said: "This is all thanks to the fact that His Highness has provided a lot of improvement plans for agricultural tools in recent years, and sent troops to assist the people in building water conservancy, plus the popularization and use of chemical fertilizers, it can have today's results." ”

He Tiandao: "This king only provided some ideas, and the specific affairs and operations are all done by the military division, and the military division is really hard work." ”

"By the way, how did the caravan harvest this year?"

Xie Chong replied: "The income is still quite rich, although the two caravans that went to Nanjingzhou and Taiyuan County in the middle of the year lost a lot due to robbers, but the overall income is not worse than last year, and the old minister will submit it to His Highness for review after sorting out the data later." ”

"Well, in the past two years, the number of cavalry in Xizhou has increased a lot, and the food and salary given to the soldiers has also increased a lot, and there are still a lot of places to spend money."

Xie Chong said with a smile: "In the past few years, the Xizhou army has not encountered any major battles, and the loss is much less than in previous years, so even if His Highness has increased the welfare of the army a lot, Xizhou's finances can still support it." ”

He Tian nodded, pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to our Taiyuan King." In the past few years, he has fought in the south and the north, but he has really shared a lot of responsibilities for the Xizhou Army. ”

When Xie Chong heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and after a while, he stopped and said: "After all, the King of Taiyuan is the queen mother of Zhongzhou and the minister of the emperor, and it is also because of his many merits that his daughter Jin Concubine was canonized as the queen two years ago. ”

"That's because the Empress Dowager Qi is afraid that she won't give the King of Taiyuan a little sweetness, and she is afraid that the King of Taiyuan will also rebel. In recent years, the Taiyuan army resisted the grassland, suppressed the Beichen rebellion, and also needed to assist in resisting the Southern Xiao, and the military strength was seriously damaged, and many soldiers were afraid and became deserters. ”

Xie Chong nodded: "What His Highness said is very true, and it is also thanks to the blessing of King Taiyuan, and there are many more people who are willing to come to Xizhou to serve as soldiers in recent years." ”

"Well, by the way, military advisor, there has been a rebellion in the central part of the country recently, and many displaced people have fled to Xizhou, and you should be more concerned about the resettlement of displaced people."

Xie Chong's brows furrowed when he heard this, he was getting older and older, and his body couldn't afford to do so many things, so he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Mr. Heng's first batch of students graduated last year. Last year, there were also many displaced people from Daizhou, and they were all settled down by Mr. Heng with the help of this group of students. This year, you might as well let Mr. Heng take the disciples to deal with this matter, Mr. Heng handled it very well last year, and it can also let these students know more about the folk before entering the office. Mr. Xiang Biheng is willing. ”

He Tian didn't dare to get involved in this matter, Hengyu's mouth has always been powerful, and his mind is weird, this kind of troublesome matter should let Xie Chong go and talk to him.

"I'll leave this matter to the military advisor, and the military advisor can discuss it with Mr. Heng on his own, and this king believes you."

Xie Chong pursed his lips, the older His Highness became, the more cunning he became, and now he couldn't pit His Highness, so he could only pretend to smile and say, "The old minister will live up to His Highness's trust." ”

After stuffing so many things for Xie Chong, He Tian still felt that he should give some sweetness: "Military advisor, this king still has something to discuss, I want to discuss it with you." ”

When Xie Chong heard that there was something else, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and he said with a bitter expression: "Please look at the old minister's hair, it was only white a few years ago, it was all white last year, and now it has begun to fall off." The old ministers all used the ginger hair growth method taught by His Royal Highness, but it was still useless. ”

He Tian glanced at Xie Chong's hairline, hey, the middle-aged man's hairline really can't be saved, he feels so pitiful but wants to laugh. No, you can't laugh, you have to hold back, after laughing, you won't have a good life.

He Tian hurriedly said the right thing: "Military advisor, this king wants to discuss Xie Yun's marriage with you, but it seems that you are too busy, okay, then this king can only think about this matter himself." ”

Xie Chong immediately changed his face, he was such a son, and he naturally attached great importance to the marriage event, and said with a warm smile on his face: "Your Highness, the old minister should be strong, and this matter can still be shared for His Highness." ”

He Tian looked at the military advisor with a smile and was silent.

Xie Chong's cheekiness has also been honed by He Tian in recent years, and he has always maintained a warm smile and looked at He Tian.

Amazing, admiring and admiring, He Tian slapped his hands lightly twice, and said, "Then, what does the military advisor think of Xie Yun's marriage?" ”

Xie Yun's son Xie Chong is naturally very concerned, Xie Yun's thoughts about Feng Qiao in recent years have reached the point where passers-by know, and he naturally knows it, so he said: "Your Highness, Xie Yun has admired General Feng for a long time, and the two have grown up together since childhood, understand each other, and often walk together on weekdays, it is really a match made in heaven." Therefore, the old minister implored His Highness to grant marriage. ”

He Tian shook his head, he was still very repulsed by the feudal and conservative thing of marriage, and said: "Xie Yun knows about Feng Qiao's thoughts, but no one knows what Feng Qiao's girl thinks, and even Eleven can't pry her mouth open." If the two are in love, then the king should naturally be fulfilled, but if Feng Qiao is unwilling, the king can't pull the two of them together. ”

Xie Chong was anxious, was this daughter-in-law about to fly, and said anxiously: "Then what does Your Highness think?" ”

He Tian walked over and whispered a few words in Xie Chong's ear.

.........

On the afternoon of the second day, Shi Yi and Feng Qiao took a walk in the garden.

Feng Qiao looked at Shi Yi puzzled and said, "Little junior sister, why do you have to drag me to the garden today?" ”

Shi Yi took Feng Qiao's hand and walked to a few plum trees, and there were several large landscape stones standing next to the trees.

Shi Yi pointed to the plum blossoms and said with a smile: The plum blossoms are blooming just right now, and I specially invited my sister to watch.

Although Feng Qiao has been in the barracks all the year round, she doesn't like to read, and she is completely different from a gentle woman, but everyone has a love for beauty, and when she sees the plum blossoms in full bloom, she can't help but be attracted to her attention.

Feng Qiao smiled and said, "This plum blossom is so beautiful." ”

Shi Yi smiled and nodded, the two watched the plum blossoms for a while, and Shi Yi pretended to mention it casually: By the way, senior sister, I heard the master say during the morning exercise yesterday that the second senior brother and the third senior brother are not young, and they said that they wanted to help them find a suitable person to look at.
