"Alright, get up."

Lao Zhu also saw Queen Zhou's action in front of Chongzhen, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "This idiot, the most unfortunate thing in this life is to be the emperor, and the most fortunate thing is to marry you as the queen." ”

Lao Zhu's reputation was famous in the entire Ming Dynasty, so when she saw this legendary figure appear in front of her, Queen Zhou couldn't help but feel a little frightened in her heart.

Hearing Lao Zhu's praise at this time, although the uneasiness in Queen Zhou's heart decreased slightly, she was still a little overwhelmed, and she could only say in a loud voice: "It's too ...... Grandpa Tai has won the prize. ”

"Whether we have won the award or not, we know it in our hearts."

Lao Zhu shook his head first, and then said: "Girl, your two brothers were given to death, and your father was also permanently imprisoned, these things are all done by us, if you have any dissatisfaction, just remember it on our Lao Zhu." ”

"The concubine doesn't dare."

Hearing Lao Zhu say this, Queen Zhou's eyes were instantly covered with a trace of moisture, "Your Majesty has heard about the matter of your father and brother, but it is only because of the concubine that Your Majesty has not investigated it deeply." ”

"It's just that the concubine never thought that my father and brother would act so fiercely, which shamed Your Majesty and made me ashamed."

"The concubine came to find His Majesty this time, and her original intention was not to intercede for her father and brother, but to see her father and brother one last time."

Speaking of this, Queen Zhou couldn't help but choked up, "The concubine didn't expect that the great grandfather would actually save her father's life." ”

"Concubine, thank you."

"Okay, okay......"

Looking at the crying pear blossom with rain Queen Zhou, Lao Zhu felt a little upset, and scolded Chongzhen directly: "Why don't you help your daughter-in-law up and stay here to watch the play?" ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Chongzhen, who was inexplicably used as a punching bag, is now used to it, and directly reached out to help his daughter-in-law up.

After Chongzhen coaxed Queen Zhou, Lao Zhu said directly: "Zhu Youzhen has to follow me for the time being, he doesn't have time to go to the harem, so over there in the harem, you can find an excuse to appease you, we won't be too lazy to bother more, can you do it?" ”

"Grandpa Tai, rest assured, the concubine can do it."

When Empress Zhou heard what Lao Zhu meant, she responded without the slightest hesitation.

"If you can do it, do it."

Lao Zhu didn't hesitate at all, and directly issued an expulsion order, "This idiot wants to follow me to learn how to be an emperor, and I don't have time to care about you for the time being." ”

"The concubine is retired."

Hearing Lao Zhu say this, Queen Zhou didn't dare to be disobedient, and after glancing at Chongzhen helplessly, she directly withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

After finishing Chongzhen's harem, Lao Zhu didn't bother to stay in the Qianqing Palace, and directly took someone to Li Banghua's house.

As the imperial history of the left capital, although Li Banghua is not corrupt, after all, it is also the existence of the best official residence, and with the emperor's reward, his residence is not too shabby.

It's just that compared with the somewhat luxurious courtyard where he lives, his few poor subordinates are particularly shabby.

"Minister Li Banghua, I have seen Your Majesty."

Seeing that Lao Zhu actually came to him in person, although Li Banghua was a little surprised in his heart, he quickly reacted, Lao Zhu must have come to rectify the Beijing camp.

Thinking that Lao Zhu actually attached so much importance to the rectification of the Beijing camp this time, Li Banghua's heart instantly became much excited.

"Excuse me."

Lao Zhu didn't say anything polite to Li Banghua, he sat directly on the rocking chair in the courtyard, then looked at Li Banghua and said, "You have such a big mansion, why are there only a few servants?" ”

Hearing Lao Zhu ask this question, Li Banghua's face turned slightly red, and then he said slightly uncomfortably: "Minister...... I was used to being clean, so I hired a few people. ”

To tell the truth, he is not used to being pure, but because he is poor.

Although he is the third grade of the Zuodu Imperial History, Yu Lu is definitely not low, but the problem is that he can't stand the cost of the capital.

He is a three-grade Yulu, and in a place like the capital, he doesn't spend it at all.

And he was not corrupt and took bribes, and he had no other expenses, so he had to reduce his expenses elsewhere.

For example, hire fewer people, and go out less to socialize......

Listening to Li Banghua's insincere words, Lao Zhu subconsciously shook his head, with his current eyesight, he could naturally easily see that Li Banghua was lying, and he could also guess why he was lying.

So at this moment, Lao Zhu suddenly felt that the standard he had set for officials before seemed to be a little too little.

If you want officials not to be greedy, in addition to harsh punishments, you also need to give them favorable living conditions.

Otherwise, they have studied hard for decades, and as a result, they still live a poor life, so what is the point of them studying hard for so many years?

These thoughts flashed in Lao Zhu's mind, and after he put these things in his heart, he did not choose to expose Li Banghua's lies, but smiled and echoed: "Haha, it's good to be clean, it's good to be clean, and if it's pure, there won't be so many troubles." ”

"It's just that now Daming can't leave you now, if you really want to be completely clean, you still have to work hard for a few more years."

Lao Zhu's words were full of praise for Li Banghua, which made Li Banghua very useful, this Zuodu Yushi, who looked like an old farmer, instantly had a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, the old minister just lived a few more years, and he has more experience than others, only the old minister can't do without the Ming Dynasty, how can the Ming Dynasty be inseparable from the old minister."

"Now that His Majesty values it and entrusts the ministers with heavy responsibilities, all the old minister can do is to do his best."

"Do your best...... It's good to do your best, if every official can do their best, why would Daming fall to this point. ”

Lao Zhu sighed slightly in his heart, and then didn't say more, looked directly at Li Banghua, and opened his mouth to get down to business, "Meng Dark, the Beijing camp is rectified, where are you going to start?" ”

Meng Dian is Li Banghua's cousin, and he has long been familiar with the rectification of the Beijing camp, and when he heard Lao Zhu ask about this at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

It seems that Lao Zhu really came to rectify the Beijing camp, and for Li Banghua, the more Lao Zhu attaches importance to the rectification of the Beijing camp, the better Li Banghua will be able to let go of his hands and feet when he rectifies.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Li Banghua slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, the basic strength of an army depends on three aspects. ”

"That's the source of soldiers, equipment, and food."

"And now ......"

When Li Banghua said this, he paused slightly.

If it had been before, he would have stopped talking at most, and he would definitely not continue.

But the emperor has changed a lot in recent days, which has rekindled hope in Li Banghua's originally completely disappointed heart, so after hesitating for a moment, Li Banghua still decided to tell Lao Zhu in detail about the Jingying.

"And now, in the Beijing camp, there are countless things of occupation and hypocrisy."

"The soldiers of the Beijing camp, there is food, but there is none."
