"Da Sima, it is very unwise to start the sword soldiers indiscriminately, not to mention, Bashu is originally the power of the imperial court, why do you need to make a big move, start the war lightly, please think twice."

Song Lian heard that Yuan Ke was going to use troops against Bashu, and in the spirit of the benevolence of the doctor, he couldn't help but persuade him, but he didn't know that this move had violated Yuan Ke's taboo and aroused Yuan Ke's dissatisfaction.

“......”

Tang Cong, Lin Yiwen, and Yang Jun were so frightened that their throats and eyes smoked.

"Four doctors, the imperial court's use of troops abroad is a national policy, and it is a major event of military aircraft, so don't discuss it in vain, you must know that curiosity kills cats, and talking too much will not only attract suspicion, but also lead to death."

"You are all medical experts, Benhou advises you to do your job well."

"The matter of fighting and killing should be left to us soldiers."

Yuan Ke said quite dissatisfied.

He hated being criticized for his decisions.

"Da Sima, those who govern the country, should put benevolence and righteousness first, and do not start a war lightly, and those who start sword soldiers in vain will eventually be injured by sword soldiers."

Song Lian is a bull temper.

He continued to fight with Yuan Ke.

"Uh-"

Seeing this, Yuan Ke was also quite speechless, and he also understood that the Song Lian in front of him was obviously an old pedantry, and he was not deliberately looking for his bad luck, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but decrease a lot.

He knew that entanglement with the other party would not lead to any good results, so he arranged for someone to take care of the daily life of the four of them, and left.

"Da Sima, Da ......"

His companion Tang Cong grabbed his arm.

"Old Song, old Song, okay, don't talk about it anymore."

He was afraid that Song Lian would collide with Yuan Ke and cause death.

"Tang Cong, you, why do you want to stop me, Da Sima is young and arrogant, we should persuade him, the sword soldiers are extremely dangerous, and they can't start a war lightly, otherwise, I don't know how many people will die."

Song Lian was still arguing.

"Old Song, okay, Da Sima just said, we are just a doctor, our task is to cure diseases and save people, what kind of war and other things are the affairs of those officials and generals in the court, and they have nothing to do with us."

"Let's not mix it up, otherwise, it is very likely to invite death."

"Understood?"

Tang Cong and Song Lian have been together for a long time, and they also understand that the other party's temperament is a donkey, and they have to plant one, but what happened just now still has to persuade Song Lian.

If Song Lian continues to fight with Yuan Ke, it is possible that he will really be killed by Yuan Ke.

He also heard about Yuan Ke, when Dong Zhuo was in trouble with the court, this son forbears in every way, once it breaks out, he kills Dong Zhuo with the momentum of thunder, except Wang Yun, controls the dynasty, encircles the Son of Heaven, and merges the state in the north, kills Han Sui, captures Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang, such a character is destined to be a decisive and ruthless person, if Song Lian repeatedly contradicts and disobeys the other party, it is very likely to attract the killing of the other party.

"Impossible, I, I'm just telling the truth, Da Sima, he, why did he kill me?"

Song Lian blushed and continued to retort loudly.

"Okay, Old Song, don't look at Da Sima as young and easy to talk to, but he even dares to kill characters like Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun, I heard that he also wiped out the Wang clan in Qi County, Taiyuan, and thousands of people were beheaded, and none of them lived."

"This son is a man in troubled times, and we must be in awe of him."

"Understood?"

"Besides, we don't think about ourselves, we have to think about our families, don't we? If we offend Da Sima, not only will we die, but our family members will also be punished. ”

Lin Yiwen said earnestly.

They are accustomed to the cruelty of the power struggle in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and in just a few years, Empress Dowager He, He Jin, Shi Changshi, Dong Zhuo......

These people weren't very powerful, but now, they're all dead.

All because of the supreme power.

Politics is a toxic topic, and if they can't play it, it's better to be a pure doctor honestly.

"I, I see."

At this point, Song Lian finally began to be afraid.

He is not afraid of his own death, but he is afraid that his family will be implicated.

"I'll change it, and I'll never talk nonsense again."

As soon as he woke up, Song Lian was shocked, and his back was frightened into a cold sweat.

"In the future, we will bury our heads in the study of medical skills."

"Don't get involved in politics!"

.......

Yuan Ke on the side came to the conference hall, and as soon as he sat down, two maidservants served him hot tea.

He didn't hold a grudge against Song Lianji.

It's just that he is paying attention to the person of the imperial physician Ling Jiping.

This person can't stay, he must be killed to prevent future troubles, but he needs a reason to kill.

Da!

Da!

Da!

While he was distraught, Pang An came in.

This man is a strategist and is also good at internal affairs.

Now he is in charge of the logistics, quartermaster and personnel of the Shanglin Yuan Army.

"Meet the Lord!"

Pang An came in and saluted Yuan Ke.

"Pang An, you came just in time, Ben Hou has something to discuss with you."

Yuan Ke summoned Pang An to the front and told the other party about Ji Ping's situation.

"Lord, it's just a small imperial doctor's order, why do you need to be so bothered, it's not easy to kill him, but it's easy to transfer him out of the imperial doctor's office and Chang'an, as long as he is not in Chang'an, how can he poison the lord?"

"It just so happened that the minister received a piece of news that he heard that there was a plague in the Huainan area, so he might as well send him to Huainan."

"As for the name? He was given the identity of a plague-proof minister. ”

When Pang An heard this, he couldn't help but say.

"Transfer Jiping out of Chang'an? This is also a way, if he is not by the side of the Son of Heaven, he will not pose a threat to Ben Hou, and he will not be able to kill Ben Hou. ”

"Good!"

"That's a brilliant plan!"

"Jiping's matter, I will act according to Pang An's strategy."

After thinking about it carefully, Yuan Ke adopted Pang An's proposal.

"Pang An, you will go to Shangshutai with Benhou later, and settle the process of this matter."

Ji Ping doesn't get rid of him, and he can't sleep well.

The healer kills invisibly, and he fears it.

"No!"

Pang An said.

Yuan Ke was in a good mood, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.

After that, he asked.

"Pang An, why did you come to the mansion to see Ben Hou?"

"Lord, the ministers are here for the salaries and food of the soldiers."

Pang An said.

"Oh? Short of money and food? ”

Yuan Ke asked.

"Lord, recruiting a new army, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and all kinds of expenses are amazing, and now, three million taels of silver have been used up."

"But there's still a big gap."

Pomegran said stiffly.

"Oh? How big is the gap? ”

Yuan Ke asked.

He didn't have much money or food.

Although a lot of money and grain were copied in the state this time, a lot of money was consumed, and at the same time, in order to reward farming, it also cost a lot.

There are only 2.7 million taels in hand.

As for grain and grass, there are not many left.

In order to ease the relationship between Emperor Xian and the hundred officials, he also took out three million taels of silver from the many coins and silver confiscated at the beginning and handed them to the imperial court.

This sum of money and silver is now also used as a fortune and distributed to hundreds of civil and military officials.

"Lord, you also need more money at the beginning, and everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as the money for armor, weapons, military uniforms and war horses is paid, it will be 300,000 taels of expenses every month in the future."

Pang An said.

"Come less, let's say a specific number, Benhou can stand it."

Yuan Ke said.

"Lord, there is still a gap of three million."

Pang An said.

"Are there so many? Since the beginning of the restoration of Shanglin Yuan, the light has been burning money, not to mention five million taels, right? Why is there still a gap of three million taels? Pang An, you tell Ben Hou in detail. ”

"Is there someone who has filled his pockets?"

Yuan Ke asked.

"Lord, there really isn't, this is also my saving flowers."

"It's hard at the beginning. The cost of rebuilding the restoration of the forest garden alone was 3.6 million taels of silver, and later, he bought military clothes and military quilts and other materials, as well as military horses, equipment, and the most important expenditure was military salaries. ”

"The salary of 120,000 Ma Guang is a big expense, and besides, the equipment maintenance and military horse feeding of the 20,000 snow dragon riders you transferred are also astronomical."

When Pang An heard this, he immediately began to cry.

"What? It took 3.6 million taels of silver to restore Shanglin Yuan? No way? Are there so many? Are you sure you didn't lie to me? Shanglin Yuan, could it be made of silver? So expensive? ”

Yuan Ke questioned.

"Lord, you don't know this, I really didn't deceive you, now materials and manpower are not a lot of expenses."

"You don't know that the price of the big bluestone sent from Shizhou County has increased."

"A piece has caught up with the price of silver."

Pang An continued to cry to Yuan Ke.

"What? Big bluestone, the price of silver? What is the situation, you tell Ben Hou carefully, how can a piece of big bluestone be sold for the price of silver? ”

When Yuan Ke heard this, he asked loudly.
