Walking on the way back to Feiyun Restaurant, Yuan Lijie and his party were a little silent.

Suddenly!

Yuan Lijie paused suddenly, turned his head to look behind him, and asked, "Master Gu, did you get what you wanted?" ”

Gu Tingyun also stopped his pace and nodded silently.

"What about the rewards of the soldiers of Yunzhou County?"

"This is a decision that only His Majesty can make, and we can only inform His Majesty of this matter as it is.

Father-in-law, you also know that now that the Great Song Dynasty is in political difficulties, and the military salaries on all borders can be paid on time, most of which are the silver that His Majesty has paid from his own pockets.

Court...... The imperial court has long been eating food and cannot make ends meet.

In recent years, His Majesty's internal funds have almost dried up, even if the escort army has really made great contributions, but His Majesty still has to give priority to ensuring the military salary on the border in order to stabilize the security around the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After Gu Tingyun was silent for a while, he expressed his guess about the emperor's possible choice.

Yuan Lijie was silent, as an internal servant, he obviously knew more than Gu Tingyun.

His Majesty's internal funds, not to mention the balance, have already begun to use the previous deposits, and if it continues like this, it may not last long.

He naturally knew that what Gu Tingyun said was very likely to happen.

But just now, he swore to Commander Guan that he would ask for rewards for the soldiers, but now he ...... Alas!

With a deep sigh, the two walked forward silently, and a group of people behind them also followed silently.

Suddenly!

Bang!

"Oops!"

A cry of pain and an impact almost knocked Yuan Lijie down, but fortunately, he reacted in time and quickly stabilized his body, so he was not hit.

Yuan Lijie, who was still in deep thought just now, looked up and saw that a scrawny young man was already sitting on the ground in front of him, looking like a homeless person who had just arrived in Yunzhou County.

The boy looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was skinny, and his hair was messy like weeds scattered on his head, like a bird's nest!

The face and body are also dirty, and I don't know how many days I haven't cleaned it, and there is still a strange smell on my body that makes people want to avoid it.

The cry of pain just now was made by him, a half-sized child is logically as strong as a calf, and it is normal to knock him down if he hits Yuan Lijie, who is distracted.

On the contrary, the half-sized boy was knocked to the ground by himself, which shows how thin and weak he is.

Yuan Lijie didn't care who hit whom, and stopped them with a look without waiting for the subordinates who were about to step forward to scold them.

Then he put on a smiling face and came to the young man who was sitting on the ground and asked softly, "Is the little official okay?" Are there any injuries? ”

However, his inquiry was replaced by the rumbling sound of the boy's belly, apparently the boy's stomach telling him that he was hungry.

The young man's face was a little embarrassed, but he forced himself to straighten out, and his face was flushed and he bowed his hand to Yuan Lijie and said apologetically: "But it's the boy's fault, the boy Meng Lang, who collided with the old man, and annoyed the old man to care." ”

Yuan Lijie shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hand and gestured behind him, and the people behind him understood, and immediately handed over a cake, which was still minced with meat!

Yuan Lijie handed the cake to the young man, and at the same time smiled kindly:

"Nothing is fine, people are fine.

Come on, hungry, right?

I have a loaf of bread here.

Here you go, you eat first, and when you're full. ”

"No, sir! Never! ”

The boy hurriedly excused himself, but his stomach with a strange sound revealed his true condition.

Yuan Lijie looked at him with a smile like this, and the hand holding the cake never retracted.

The young man refused for a while and finally took the cake, but he thanked Yuan Lijie again and again.

Yuan Lijie smiled and waved his hand, clapped his hands to slap off the scum on his hands, and after standing up, he suddenly said to the young man who was eating cakes: "If the little official has nowhere to go, why don't you go back with me?"

If you go with me, you may not be able to get rich and expensive, but you can also worry about food and clothing. ”

Yuan Lijie's words made the young man who was eating almost choked, but he knew that the old man in front of him with powder on his face was a father-in-law, so let him follow him, wouldn't he let himself ......

No, no, no, no! This can't be done, I'm just here to mix up a group performance, how can I enter the palace?

I am the only seedling of the old Li family, but I can't enter the palace!

The brain spun wildly, and after half a ring, the young man finally thought of an excuse, and hurriedly shook his head and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but the kid's family has a family motto, even if he starves to death, he can't be a human slave, so he can only refuse his father-in-law's kindness." ”

Yuan Lijie glanced at the young man deeply, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Then he got up and left this place directly, and the group behind him also left here.

Around the crowd, the homeless people roamed the streets with their thin bodies as if they were walking to the dead.

The entire city of Yunzhou is a dilapidated scene.

Not long after Yuan Lijie left, several beggar-looking teenagers hurriedly ran over.

"Brother Dingguo! Are you okay! Why did you rush up, didn't the adults say we just have to stay on the side? ”

The young man who was called to be the brother of Dingguo sighed when he heard the words and said:

"I don't know what's wrong, I was a little distracted just now.

Originally, I just wanted to sneak by and take a closer look at them, but somehow, I suddenly got distracted and bumped into them. ”

After speaking, the young man said with a bitter face: "I hope it doesn't arouse suspicion!" Otherwise, it will be miserable. ”

"Probably not! Brother Dingguo, your acting skills are so good, where can those people see it!

By the way, Brother Dingguo, didn't you say before that you wouldn't do it today?

So what are you going to do when you get paid? ”

Another teenager asked.

Hearing this, Dingguo looked in the direction where Yuan Lijie and his party came from the south just now, and said in a firm tone: "I'm going to be a soldier!"

I've heard that the front line is fighting against poison people again, and those poison people are easy to kill.

Each of our soldiers in Yunzhou can chase ten runs!

The front line now gives one acre of land for every ten poison soldiers killed.

I'm going to join the army too, and when I kill some more poison soldiers, I'm going to change a lot of land, so that I can be the lord in the future!"

Marry another one when the time comes, no! Three daughters-in-law! Give our old Li family an heirloom and give birth to a few more big fat boys!

When it goes down in the future, I can show off to my father, my son has more than him! Hey, hey, hey! ”

"Wow! Brother Dingguo is so powerful! We're going too!

We also want to kill more poison soldiers in exchange for more fields, marry several daughters-in-law and have many sons! ”

At this time, a girl's voice suddenly came in, and she asked weakly:

"That'...... Can you marry more daughters-in-law, and can I marry more husbands? ”

Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at her in unison, their eyes widening: "(⊙ o⊙)!" ”

Girl: "(*/ω\*)." ”

……

Back at Feiyun Restaurant, before entering the room, Yuan Lijie suddenly paused and looked at Gu Tingyun and asked, "Lord Gu, in your opinion, what is the current form of this Yunzhou County?" ”

Gu Tingyun turned his head to look at him with some doubts, but then he pondered for a moment and replied solemnly:

"The current situation in Yunzhou County is not good, there is a threat of Tartars outside, there are unstable Tartar tribes inside, and there are so many displaced people newly recruited, even we can see so many on the street.

It is conceivable that Yunzhou County today may be more difficult than in the past. ”

"Really?"

Yuan Lijie said such a sentence as if asking a rhetorical question, and without waiting for Gu Tingyun to answer, he said to himself: "His Royal Highness King Yun is also very bitter, it is already very difficult for a prince without a mother to grow up healthily......"

After sighing with emotion, Yuan Lijie pushed the door and walked into his room, leaving Gu Tingyun with a question mark on his face, I don't understand why this Yuan Gonggong suddenly talked about King Yun inexplicably?

……

Hey, here's the update! I've been a little busy lately, and I've often worked overtime late, and I have too little time, so it's a little hard to guarantee that the three more may be a little hard, but Piaoxue swears! As long as there is time! If I have the opportunity, I will definitely guarantee three more!

There is really no way to do it, two shifts a day, I will come out without sleeping!

I swear!!!
