In Jiankang City, after Xiao Ju recovered from his serious illness, he was obsessed with government affairs, which made Queen Yang particularly distressed, but no matter how he persuaded him, Xiao Ju ignored it all, and he wanted to bring Daqi to a new height in a limited time.

Yang Lan saw that she couldn't persuade Xiao Ju, so she asked Wei Ran to go to the mansion to summon Wei Ran, hoping that he could let Xiao Ju rest more and take care of the dragon's body.

At present, the land of China is relatively calm, since Fu Yuan surrendered, Hefei was conquered by Pei Tu, there is no war between the three kingdoms.

The only hiccup was that the Eastern Qin wanted to release the soldiers of the Huaibei Army, which was naturally very welcome to the Southern Qi, but Liu Renye was instructed by Wei Ran in advance, and all the soldiers of the Huaibei Army who returned to the south were about 40,000 people, all of whom were placed outside Pengcheng, and divided into 20 camps, and then the camps began to count the number of people, establish household registration, and then find out the family members from the land of Huaibei and place them in various cities.

If you can't find a soldier with your family in Huaibei, you need to tell the place of household registration, and then verify it in the place of household registration, and if you can't find this person, you will be killed on the spot.

At first, the spies who were arranged in it did not care, thinking that this would provoke a mutiny, but Liu Renye also gave a settling-in allowance and land to these soldiers who took the initiative to return to the south, once they did have relatives in Huaibei.

All of a sudden, instead of mutiny, they reported and exposed each other, and hundreds of Eastern Qin spies escaped overnight.

Originally, Min Shiyuan ordered the general Chen Zuxun to lead the army to follow closely behind, preparing to take Pengcheng according to the strategy, but under Liu Renye's operation, he had to return in vain.

In order to warn Min Shiyuan, Liu Renye led his army to attack Xiaopei, conquered Xiaopei in one fell swoop, and officially bordered Qingzhou.

Min Shiyuan had words of suffering, and at this time, Wei Ran sent a letter to Luoyang, telling Min Shiyuan that if there was a small move, he would not mind uniting with Yuan Shan to send troops.

Although Min Shiyuan was angry, he also knew that he needed to recuperate, so he had to reply to Wei Ran with a very sincere letter, so there was no further war between the two sides.

Wei Ran is wearing a purple python robe at the moment, with a Taiping sword at his waist, believe it or not, Wei Ran used a wooden sword to go to the court, and now he carries weapons to the court since he was almost assassinated last time, in order to take precautions, so it is so.

Outside the Shangyuan Palace, Wei Ran handed the sword to the palm seal eunuch and slowly entered the palace.

At this time, Xiao Ju was immersed in reviewing the recitals, and he didn't notice Wei Ran entering the hall, and the eunuch just wanted to remind him, but he was restrained by Wei Ran, and then he sat on the side, watching Xiao Ju review the recitals, and began to think about today's words.

After a long time, Xiao Ju stretched his waist, and only then did he notice that Wei Ran had arrived in the hall, so he put the jade pen on the inkstone and asked, "What is the matter today, let Brother Wei come uninvited." ”

Wei Ran replied: "Wei Chen heard that His Majesty has been staying up all night for political affairs recently, and he has not paid attention to his body, so he has come to advise His Majesty. ”

Xiao Ju didn't care, waved his hand, and then got up and said: "I have a serious illness and have delayed many government affairs, so I can only do this. ”

Wei Ran shook his head and was silent, then thought for a long time, and said: "Wechen came today, there is one more thing, the annual flower picking conference in the past, after the war stopped, this year the magnates began to gather again, Wechen got the news and came to inform Your Majesty. ”

Flower picking conference, is the former Jiankang City in the official aristocracy of the annual event, the net of the beauties of the state, gathered in Jiankang City, these beauties are not only beautiful, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the dignitaries and nobles spend a lot of money, in order to hold the beauty, do everything.

"How many years have such extravagance stopped? It's started again this year? Xiao Ju asked puzzled.

Wei Ran also felt quite embarrassed, so he had to say: "In the past, there were continuous wars in the country, and naturally no one dared to mention such things, there was no war in the country this year, and these people didn't know the hard work of the soldiers fighting abroad, it was really hateful." ”

When Xiao Ju heard this, he slapped the table and scolded: "This group of people, the peaceful days have not yet reached a year, and they have to have fun as before, they really don't know how hard I work." In the past, it was led by the gate valve of the Shi clan, but now who is leading? ”

Wei Ran said embarrassedly: "Hengxian! and Tingwei Zhang Bingzhi and others took the lead, and many upstarts in the city participated, and it is strange to say that Weichen is the biggest official in this Jiankang City, and no one invited me. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Ju said indignantly: "No one invited me!" ”

Then Xiao Ju looked at Wei Ran and said tentatively: "Brother Wei came here today, didn't he want to invite me to go and have a look?" ”

Wei Ran nodded, sighed, and said melancholy: "According to common sense, this kind of pleasure is harmless, but now many officials in the official court are upstarts, and Weichen just wants to see how extravagant they can do in this year's flower picking conference." Hearing is false, seeing is believing. ”

After Xiao Ju heard this, he thought it was true. Most of the ministers of the DPRK are upstarts, and the annual salary is only five hundred taels, and even if Hengxian was in Dazai before, the number of taels is only two thousand taels.

Xiao Ju then asked, "I didn't invite you and me." How do we get into the Ochre Digest meeting? ”

Since it is an unannounced visit, it must not be able to report to the family openly.

After Wei Ran heard this, he smiled awkwardly, then took out two door stickers and handed them to Xiao Ju: "Wei Chen spent a thousand taels to buy two door posts, which can carry three servants, and also spent a thousand taels to charter a private room." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ju was suddenly shocked: "How can there be door posts for sale?" ”

"Your Majesty, the flower picking conference invites all the powerful and powerful people of the dynasty, but the rich businessmen also want a piece of the pie, so they sell the door stickers, after all, the merchants spend money to really spend a lot of money."

After hearing this, Xiao Ju also nodded, and then glanced at Wei Ran strangely: "This time it's two thousand taels, all your titles combined, the annual salary is only ten thousand taels, didn't my sister find out?" ”

After Wei Ran heard this, he said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen is still relatively wealthy, after all, half of the spoils of war during the war belong to the imperial court, and half belong to the army itself. This is all Wechen's private money. ”

"Okay, you Wei Ran, I thought you loved soldiers like a son, but I didn't expect that, I thought you would take nothing." Xiao Ju said jokingly.

Wei Ran embarrassedly took the door post back: "Your Majesty, when Weichen raided and handed over to Wang Yue and Wang Yue, he seized nearly 1,000 taels of property, and I handed over 7 million taels to the court, and I only kept 100,000 taels." ”

Hearing Wei Ran's Versailles speech, Xiao Ju couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't pay attention to this matter, and could only say that Wei Ran really made money.

Then Xiao Ju said: "In this case, tonight it will be up to you to show your skills, come here, go to the inner mansion, and get 100,000 taels of silver tickets." ”

"Your Majesty, you are the real way to make money."

"Hugh has nonsense, I am thrifty on weekdays, and the silver in the inner mansion is for future wars, Wei Di will go back to the house to change his clothes first, and after I change my clothes, I will go out of the side door and join you."
