415 The reason for looking for Shen Xiang
"That way, it's much easier to crack down on bandits."
Qin Xiaoyao smiled and continued, "Although Ben Hou didn't capture those mountain bandits, Ben Hou's people have already followed them into the mountain."
"I'm sure there will be news back soon."
As early as when Song Rui mentioned to her and asked her to act in this scene, she planned everything.
Even if the old fox went to check, he couldn't find out why.
After all, there is indeed a group of mountain bandits on Mao'er Mountain.
And she did receive an order to exterminate the bandits.
It's just that I'm too busy this time, so I put it on hold.
Shen Xiang suddenly understood.
It is also clear why Qin Xiaoyao was in Mao'er Mountain at that time.
It seems that everything is a coincidence.
Thinking of this, Shen was a little more enthusiastic than Qin Xiaoyao.
"Well, Master Hou's plan is very clever. With the Hou Ye out of the horse, I believe that the life of that group of mountain bandits will not last long."
"Okay, Master Hou don't stand at the door. Let's go into the house and talk about it." Shen Xiang said, and invited Qin Xiaoyao inside.
"Please." Qin Xiaoyao replied with a word and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The antechamber of the Prime Minister's House.
Qin Xiaoyao and Song Rui sat down, and the next person served tea.
"Please—" Shen Xiang sat on the upper seat and stretched out his hand to Qin Xiaoyao.
"Lord Shen, please." Qin Xiaoyao replied and picked up the teacup.
I took a sip and found that it tasted pretty good.
"Good tea!" So he spoke.
"Haha!" Shen Xiang laughed twice.
"The newly produced Longjing of Jiangnan Tea House. If Hou Ye likes it, let someone take some for Hou Ye to bring later."
Qin Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.
"Then thank you, Lord Shen!" Thank you.
Don't take it for nothing.
Although she doesn't know how to taste tea, she also knows that this tea is a good thing.
It's also good to keep it in the house to entertain people.
Song Rui watched his daughter-in-law's reaction from the sidelines, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
His daughter-in-law is a sincere person.
Shen Xiang, who was seated, was stunned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiaoyao really asked him for tea.
But it was only a moment, and he returned to his previous look.
It's just tea, if Xiaoyaohou likes it, it doesn't hurt to give her more.
"Master Hou is polite." So, Shen said.
Immediately, he instructed the subordinates who were waiting outside the door to prepare tea.
Then, I asked about Qin Xiaoyao, the details of how she rescued Shen Lian and Song Rui.
Qin Xiaoyao said lightly.
Song Rui added on the side.
Of course, in the process of supplementing, there was no shortage of patting Qin Xiaoyao's sycophants, as well as expressing his admiration for Qin Xiaoyao.
"Haha, Master Hou's martial arts are really powerful!"
"There is a marquis in Dajin, and he is as solid as gold." Shen Xiang looked at Qin Xiaoyao with an appreciative expression.
Not to mention, this Xiaoyao Hou is indeed a good hand.
Before that, she reversed the tide of the battle with Da Liao.
If this person is here, Da Liao is afraid that he will not dare to do it again.
In this regard, Xiaoyao Hou deserves the respect of all the people of the Great Jin Dynasty. Naturally, he was also included.
Qin Xiaoyao was polite to Shen Xiang.
Subsequently, he proposed to discuss some military affairs with Shen Xiang.
Shen Xiang was also easy to speak, so he responded.
Immediately, Qin Xiaoyao said that the soldiers and generals in the generals were not in place. ….
He also said that when he applied for those benefits, the household department did not approve it.
"When soldiers go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they do a job that does not kill them."
"We fought bloodily, in addition to defending our family and country, in order to gain a reputation, or to get some money to subsidize our family."
"Especially the fallen soldiers. When a man dies, he dies."
"But their families have not been able to get their pensions for a long time. Not only do they have to endure the pain of losing their loved ones, but they also have to face the oppression of life."
"In the long run, isn't it chilling for the soldiers?" Speaking of this, Qin Xiaoyao's tone was a little higher, and he looked a little indignant.
She came to Shen Xiang this time, in addition to the factor of Xianggong, another reason is indeed for this.
The soldiers of the King of Huaiyin, before, the court had acquiesced and let the King of Huaiyin raise it himself.
And her soldiers are also the soldiers of the King of Huaiyin.
According to the previous situation, it should be paid by the King of Huaiyin.
But after she returned to Beijing and was officially canonized, the king of Huaiyin ignored her and her soldiers.
She knew that King Huaiyin was deliberately keeping a distance from her.
But the lack of money did bring her a lot of trouble.
Thousands of people, let her raise, in fact, she can't afford to raise.
But I can't bear it.
Isn't it fragrant for her own silver to save for herself and her family? Why give it to outsiders?
But it can't be done without raising.
The soldiers went into battle to kill the enemy during the war, and now there is no war, and they also train every day, and they are all very hard.
Everyone's salary is just a little.
If she didn't give it, she was a little reluctant to go. After all, she still has a fiefdom in Xiaoyao County.
The taxes of the fiefdom add up, and it is barely enough to support these thousands of people.
However, if she can give it, of course she doesn't want to give it.
After all, those soldiers were her soldiers. But once she resigned from her current position as a military general, none of them would be hers.
And she is ready to resign in the future.
Shen Xiang was stunned.
Something comes to mind.
"The soldiers' salaries and pension silver, the King of Huaiyin didn't approve it?" Chong Qin Xiaoyao asked.
Empress Jia admired the Marquis of Xiaoyao and often summoned her to the palace. also let Princess Xiangyang worship her as a teacher.
Is it for this reason that King Huaiyin excluded Xiaoyaohou?
Qin Xiaoyao showed a difficult expression.
"The prince learned that the queen mother admired Ben Hou, and Ben Hou accepted Princess Xiangyang as an apprentice. He has a lot of complaints about Ben Hou."
"The matter of food and salary was cut off by the prince as early as a month ago." Qin Xiaoyao's face was full of bitterness.
Seeing Shen Xiang looking over, he continued: "The discord between the prince and the queen mother was known to Ben Hou before. But I didn't expect it to come to this point."
"Their thoughts, Ben Hou can actually guess a thing or two."
"But Ben Hou has no interest in forming gangs, standing in line, and the like."
"Benhou only wants to be loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty and the emperor." Qin Xiaoyao said, arching his hand upward.
"As for the rest, Ben Hou really doesn't want to mix too much."
Shen Xiang's eyes moved.
"Master Hou is right."
"It's a pity, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, there are too few people with such thoughts as the Hou Ye." Shen Xiang sighed and said.
Immediately, my heart moved.
"The food and salary of the soldiers under the Hou Ye should indeed be paid by the imperial court."
"This matter has been written down in this picture."
"Tomorrow, I will personally go to the household department to help Master Hou get the food." Shen Xiang said.
It's good to be neutral, and he can't wait to completely get rid of Empress Jia and the Jia family and be a neutral.
Now sold to Xiaoyaohou this favor, in the future, maybe he can get a return.
When Qin Xiaoyao heard this, his eyes were full of joy.
"Lord Shen's words are true?!" Chong Shen Xiang asked excitedly.
Shen Xiang nodded.
"The official is not joking." Said with a smile.
Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly got up, stood up straight, and made a gesture at Shen Xiang.
"In this way, Xiaoyao has thanked Lord Shen! For the 8,000 soldiers, thank you, my lord!"
