Shi Heng was stunned, the words he had prepared, and the room for bargaining, became useless.

I've been carrying it for so long along the way, but I didn't expect it to be useless?

This feeling...... It's like finishing a make-up class overnight, but the teacher says no exam on the second day.

It's a good thing, but it's also unpleasant.

Say it early!

"Shi Aiqing, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing." Shi Heng smiled and complimented: "The state is in a tight budget, and the emperor still supports the construction of the Hetao so much, and the saint has no way to pass the emperor." ”

"Haha......" Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but be happy, "I didn't expect that Wu Qinghou, who is not good at words, would also shoot me!" ”

Shi Heng's face was hot, and he said, "Weichen is telling the truth. ”

He wondered in his heart, what's wrong with the emperor?

What a ...... The nouveau riche has a face, isn't it a windfall?

It's no secret that the state is strapped for money, Shi Heng really can't understand why the emperor is so happy, and it can only be attributed to the emperor's sage.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire Li Qing's judgment even more: although he was stingy, he could handle it in big things.

Zhu Jianshen did have a clear idea, but if he didn't carry out a thorough investigation of commercial taxes, he would still have to bargain.

"Is Yongqinghou in a hurry?"

"Huh? Oh..."Shi Heng came back to his senses and arched his hand: "It's not very urgent, but if it can be delivered in advance, it will be good." ”

It was good for the emperor to readily agree, but it also disrupted Li Qing's deployment, and Shi Heng took the opportunity to say:

"Your Majesty, Marquis Yongqing said that the state is in a tight budget, and a small amount of treasure money can be used instead."

"Treasure money?" Zhu Jianshen was surprised, "Isn't he the most opposed to the issuance of treasure banknotes?" ”

Shi Heng scratched his head and explained: "Yongqinghou did this to prevent the currency of treasure banknotes from being eliminated by the market, so that more people would recognize it, saying that it was ...... This will improve the credit of the banknotes. ”

He didn't understand these either, so he just replied according to Li Qing's original words.

Zhu saw a deep groan, and nodded slowly: "Indeed, he is really far-sighted." ”

"Hmm... That's into. Zhu Jianshen said, "Just two million yuan of treasure money and one million taels of silver." ”

Now the exchange rate between banknotes and silver is no longer one-to-one, after several dynasties, the speed of depreciation of treasure banknotes is too violent, even under Li Qing's strong intervention, it has only been consistently exchanged for 100 wen.

Two million treasure banknotes, that is, 200,000 taels of silver.

Shi Heng said again: "Yongqing Marquis also said that this time it is just an emergency, and I hope that the emperor will not issue treasure banknotes on a large scale, otherwise it will ......."

"Okay, I know the dangers of rotten printing money, so I don't need to repeat it." Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Shi Aiqing has also made great contributions, even if you want anything, you can't do it." ”

“…… The minister is in a high position, and he often gets the first emperor... There is also a reward from the emperor, which is quite a piece of furniture, and the emperor does not need to reward him. ”

Zhu Jianshen shook his head and said: "I still want to be rewarded, Shi Aiqing Mobei and Hetao run at both ends, so hard, how can I not be rewarded?" ”

After thinking about it, he said to the little yellow gate not far away: "Reward the Marquis of Wuqing with twenty pieces of silk and two hundred taels of silver, and you will send it to the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion later." ”

"The slave obeys." óΠъ.oяＧ

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Shi Heng bowed and saluted.

The emperor gives it, and it cannot be resigned; He doesn't have to worry about money.

Shi Heng thanked him and reminded him skillfully: "Yongqinghou is short of money and food, and there is nothing else, so the minister will retire." ”

"Well," Zhu Jian nodded with a deep smile: "I will arrange it later, Aiqing will go slowly." ”

……

The Loop.

Li Hong is really a little unbearable, not only because of hard work, but also because he feels that this is not helpful to his growth, and he is completely wasting his time.

Shuai Battalion.

Li Hongweng said: "Godfather, you give me a new position, I don't want to open up the wasteland anymore." ”

"I'm tired of going home." Li Qing crossed Erlang's legs and continued, without raising his head.

"I won't go back, and I won't open up wasteland."

"Yoh? What a temper! Li Qing put down the book and said with a smile, "Then why don't you become a handsome?" ”

Li Hong was bitter: "Godfather, the child is not afraid of hardship, but ...... These things are completely meaningless! ”

Li Qing's face sank, and his tone became stern: "It's meaningless to be a good one, it's pointless for you to open up the wasteland?" ”

"At least, it doesn't make sense to me." Li Hong was a little afraid, but still stubbornly said.

Li Qing smiled angrily: "Do you know that this sentence is meaningless, how many people have been denied?"

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty used their lives in wartime, and cleared the wasteland and cultivated in their spare time, how much burden did they reduce for the imperial court? It doesn't make sense in your mouth? ”

"Child...... That's not what it means. Li Hong was weak-hearted and muttered, "The child just wants to ...... Progressive. ”

"Whether you are a soldier or a wasteland, you can make progress." Li Qing leaned back in the chair, continued to flip, and said lightly: "It's just that your eyelids are shallow and you can't see it." ”

Li Hong said sullenly: "The child is dull, please ask your godfather to make it clear." ”

Li Qing closed the book and put it aside, and said: "Let you be a pro-soldier in order to let you understand military affairs more quickly, and at the same time, let you understand the position of pro-soldier." ”

Li Hong could still understand the first half of the sentence, but he didn't understand the second half of the sentence, and asked: "Do you know the position of a pro-soldier...... What is the meaning? ”

"I ask you, with whom will the Lord deal with the most?" Li Qing snorted: "It's not a boss, it's not a soldier, it's a personal soldier!"

Whether it is daily getting along or on the battlefield, the soldiers play a very important role, they are the mouthpiece of the main general, military affairs, instructions or something, they must be transferred and conveyed;

If you want to be a military general, if you don't even know the subordinates you deal with the most, how can you become a generation of famous generals? ”

Li Qing sighed and said, "It is true that I can directly arrange a military attache position for you, but that will not help you in any way;

The so-called progress does not refer to the promotion of officials, but the ability!

Without ability, everything is in the air. ”

Li Qingdao: "Remember, only by understanding can we understand, and only by understanding can we empathize!" ”

"Child...... Remembered. Li Hong lowered his head in shame, "I'm sorry godfather, the child is too impatient to understand that godfather has good intentions." ”

Li Qing hehe, picked it up and continued to look through.

"Godfather...... Are you angry? Li Hong's face was scornful, and he added: "Godfather asked me to open up the wasteland with the soldiers, but also to let me understand them and understand them, right?" ”

"Not all, doing farm work will improve your stamina." Li Qing turned the page and said: "Fighting on the battlefield, physical strength is very important, it is not enough to have a lot of strength, it has to last long enough, think about how long you fought last time, and you have no strength?" ”

Li Hong was stunned for a moment and nodded seriously: "What the godfather said is that the child is too utilitarian and has misinterpreted the progress, I'm sorry for the godfather." ”

Influenced by Li Qing, Li Hong's face was very thick-skinned, and he hurriedly ran behind Li Qing to beat him on the shoulder, looking like a hippie smile.

"Godfather, don't be angry with me, in the future, you will let the child pick up the dung, and the child will not frown."

Li Qing raised his eyebrows, slowly raised his head, and turned to look at him.

"No, it's not...... What do you mean, godfather? ”

"Go, pick up the dung."

"Huh? This, this ......" Li Hong hated to slap his two big mouths, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly, "Godfather, this is unnecessary, right?" ”

"I think it's necessary."

“…… Godfather~"

"Less meaty, less numb."

Li Hong was so angry that he didn't beat his shoulders anymore, "You just deliberately corrected me." ”

"That's right, it's to fix you." Li Qing sneered, "You can also do nothing, you don't have to do anything when you go back to Jinling, and your Wanqing sister ......"

Balabala......

"Don't try to corrupt me, I will never give up halfway."

"Well, come on."

"What's coming on?" Li Hong didn't understand.

Li Qing grinned: "That's it...... Try to pick up big dung. ”

"Godfather, you're too much!"

……

"Hiss~ It stinks." Li Hong's face was hideous, his face was flushed, and he was extremely dissatisfied with his godfather.

However, when he saw the expressions that others were accustomed to, he felt that he was too hypocritical, they were all raised by his father's mother, regardless of identity, everyone was the same.

Why can't others endure the hardships they can't.

His complaining mood gradually subsided......

~

The Hetao set off a wave of wilderness reclamation, and the tribes were also in full swing under the guidance of the Ming army.

They also know that when they have arable land, their families are secured, and they no longer have to risk their lives to loot or be plundered.

Beef and mutton are delicious, but they are not allowed to eat freely, and they are often in a state of undereating, and they have to be afraid all day long.

In contrast, farming is too comfortable, except for the poor food, everything else is good.

Of course, the water and grass here are abundant, and after they are stabilized, they can also be grazed while farming.

Life has a head, and it is natural to work hard.

…

Li Qing looked at this scene and was quite pleased, if it continues to develop like this, it won't be long before these people will truly integrate into Daming and become a part of Daming.

Clearing the land is a very physically demanding job, more tiring than farming, doing heavy work, and having oil and water in the stomach.

So, Li Qing tried to make them eat meat every once in a while.

In addition to the fat pigs and sheep brought by the decentralization, Li Qing also sent several Ming troops to hunt, what rabbits, wild goats, and wild camels...... In addition, there are people who go to the nearby waters to catch fish and shrimp.

But this still could not guarantee that the consumption of 100,000 people was needed, so Li Qing sent out two groups of people, one to buy pigs in Guannei and the other to buy sheep in Wara, so as to ensure the subsequent replenishment of these people's nutrition.

It hurts too much to open up the wasteland without oil and water, not to mention the army, even those tribes, Li Qing doesn't want to treat them badly.

Now they are all people of the Ming Dynasty, tired and injured are the losses of the Ming Dynasty, the follow-up development of the Hetao, these people are the main force, and the necessary care is necessary.

Li Qing's efforts were not in vain, and he received positive feedback, and the tribes became closer to the Ming court, and their mustard against the Ming army was greatly reduced.

Next, Li Qing's deployment, they can all respond positively and do their best to cooperate.

…

Spring flowers are blooming, grass sprouts, and the desolate land is full of life.

Li Qing smiled happily, this step is taken, and the road below is much easier......
