……

Sun Biao and the three of them looked at each other, and as soon as they saw Zhao Sen and the four of them, Ma Guocheng took the lead in grinning and said, "Isn't this Zhao Sen?" What, it's over? ”

Zhao Sen nodded: "Yes, Ma Duwei, I have finished handing over the work and specially came here to eat a bowl of noodles." ”

Sun Biao said: "Okay, okay, busy with you, go back to rest early after eating." ”

Then he instructed the owner of the noodle restaurant: "The money for their table will be recorded in my account." ”

Zhao Sen hurriedly said: "Mr. Sun Qian, how can you break the bank?" I will settle your face money today. ”

Zhou Boxiong smiled when he heard this: "I said Zhao Sen, you have only been in Chang'an for a few days, and you are so anxious to tie up with your boss?"

How many of us are face-saving people, will we take a fancy to your three melons and two dates? Just keep your little salary,

I heard that you recently fell in love with the house of Dongjun Baiguan Garden? The place is good, each house is equipped with a bamboo waterwheel, warm in winter and cool in summer, but the house price is more expensive, you still save to buy a house

It's really difficult, I'll give you a guarantee, find Anhu Bank Longsheng Money Bank to take out a low-interest mortgage first, settle your family, and then say, with your income, at most five or six years, the money will be almost repaid. ”

After speaking, Sun Biao and the three of them found a table and sat down, and Ma Guocheng immediately said to the owner of the noodle restaurant: "Three bowls of hot noodle soup, put more pepper and matsutake mushrooms." ”

When the owner of the noodle restaurant heard this, he went to work enthusiastically.

What Sun Biao and the three of them said is good, they really don't look down on these politeness of their subordinates, which of them didn't make a fortune by military merit? The so-called "meager" salaries are nothing more than a few days' worth of food and drink, and the monthly income from renting out their fields in the Far East alone is so envious that they are jealous.

After being invited to dinner by his boss, Zhao Sen saved money for breakfast, and after being very grateful, he finished eating noodles with his subordinates, and Sun Biao gave another military salute and quickly left the noodle restaurant.

As soon as they left, Ma Guocheng immediately scolded unhappily: "Rough! This group of sour Confucians, the more they think about it, the more angry they become, they are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, do they understand what the overall situation is? ! ”

Zhou Boxiong took out a pipe from his waist, and said while pouring it into the cigarette pouch: "I said old horse, you don't have to have an evil fire in your belly, what is there to complain about?"

Who is Your Majesty? The mountains of corpses and the sea of blood have all come, and they will still be led by the nose by these useless rotten people? Look, sooner or later, these fools will pay the price. ”

Sun Biao took a pair of chopsticks, took one in one hand, rubbed the chopsticks for a while, and said: "Okay, a little person like Wang Daofu can't be angry for him.

Do you really think that the six officials in the court are all vegetarians? Since they want to find death themselves, let's not stop them and see what tricks they can come up with. ”

Ma Guocheng sighed: "It's also thanks to Your Majesty that you didn't reuse this group of corrupt Confucians, if you want them to govern the country, I'm afraid that within two years, the people will already be miserable!" ”

Sun Biao said: "Let's eat, don't complain, there is still official business to do after eating, the ordnance that is responsible for transporting to Jingzhou must be counted within two days, and what is missing should be reported to the military department in time to make up.

Recently, the state of Chu in the south is about to move, and if we want to rely on our army to focus on Xuanwu Pass and take action, we must ensure that General Wu's military salary and equipment are sufficient. ”

Ma Guocheng and Zhou Boxiong stopped talking, and as soon as the noodles came up, they immediately ate a big gulp.

……

"Your Majesty~ Do you really want to go your own way and ignore the livelihood of the Chinese people? Do you know that without scholars, the country will not be a country, and the people will not be able to make a living! ”

"Your Majesty~ There is a great drought in Jingdi this year, locust plagues everywhere, and the people are hungry, don't you just ignore it?"

"Oh my God~ Open your eyes, take pity on the people of the Central Plains~"

Outside the gate of Weiyang Palace, an old man in his early fifties, wearing a cyan Confucian robe, knelt in front of the bright bluestone slab, and let out a heart-rending cry to the palace gate.

This old man's name is Wang Daofu, and Kong Yifu, who was demoted to a non-quality gatekeeper from a first-class scholar, is a fellow villager, and both of them are Confucian scholars, especially this Wang Daofu, who has a lot of prestige among scholars.

Wang Daofu was not a person from Chang'an, but lived in Jinling in the south, and when Liu Ce toured the south, he wiped out all the thousands of corrupt and incompetent officials and scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, Wang Daofu was the first to publicly criticize Liu Ce as a tyrant, and this move will be punished by God.

This year, when the war between Mengluo and the Han Dynasty broke out, and the two armies of Xuanwu Pass were in full swing, Wang Daofu even reprimanded Liu Ce for being reckless and reckless, so that the people were in a state of water and fire.

Coupled with the outbreak of drought in Jingdi, Wang Daofu decisively led a group of Confucian disciples to the north to Chang'an, intending to "ask for the people's lives".

As a result, as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, Wang Daofu turned a blind eye to the earth-shaking changes in Chang'an City, and instead sarcastically ridiculed Liu Ce for wasting national strength, seeing that Kong Yifu, who was also a Confucian scholar, had become a humble gatekeeper, and even scolded Liu Ce for putting the cart before the horse, insulting Sven, and made up his mind to "wake up" Liu Ce!

For six consecutive days, Wang Daofu ignored the surprised eyes of the people of Chang'an, knelt outside the palace gate to "ask for the people's life", just hoping to see Liu Ce, so that he could "instruct" him on how to be a good emperor on the spot.

Is Wang Daofu really asking for his life for the people and choosing to be tough with Liu Ce? Of course not!

The main reason why he did this was that since Liu Ce ascended the throne, the interests of the scholar clan have been suppressed unprecedentedly, including the Wang Daofu family.

Liu Ce's way of employing officials is completely different from that of the previous dynasty, whether it is a scholar or a common people, as long as they are really talented, can really manage the water and soil well, and bring benefits to the country and the people, they will be hired.

This is tantamount to directly announcing the rupture of the situation in which the scholars of the previous dynasty and the royal family jointly ruled the world, which is intolerable to a scholar clan like Wang Daofu.

Therefore, the reason why Wang Daofu dared to go to Beijing in such an extreme way to ask to see Liu Ce regardless of life and death was, in the final analysis, that the huge scholar class supported him in doing so.

Wang Daofu was still shouting hysterically outside the palace, and inside the Weiyang Palace, the officials of the six ministries were also arguing.

However, the purpose of the quarrel between the officials of the six ministries was not for Wang Daofu, and such a trivial matter was not worth arguing with each other among the pillars of the country.

The reason for their quarrel is to compete for the funds of various ministries in the second half of the year.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should understand by now that our Han army is fighting against the Mengluo people outside the Xuanwu Pass, and the Chu State in the south is also making frequent moves.

The person who spoke was dressed in a pitch-black robe, with a beard on his chin, his expression was indifferent, and he looked polite, but his eyes were shining, giving people a sense of being extremely vicious and very uncomfortable.

This person is Xu Wenjing, Liu Ce's greatest contribution to the founding of the country, after taking refuge in Liu Ce in his early years, he repeatedly made strange plans to help Liu Ce grow step by step, and now he is the secretary of the Han Dynasty Military Department, and the best candidate for the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Xu Wenjing's ability is obvious to all, but because the situation he lays out is often extremely vicious, coupled with his character of retribution for flaws, almost all the officials of the six ministries do not like to have a deep friendship with him, but Xu Wenjing does not care at all.

"Xu Shangshu, you don't like to hear this, the war between Han and Mongolia is indeed a fact, but is the livelihood of the people ignored because of the war?"

The person who spoke had a serious face, it was Qin Mo, the head of the household, who followed Liu Ce to start his family earlier than Xu Wenjing, and he handled the internal affairs, so that Liu Ce could go around without any scruples, without any worries.
