After seeing the loot, the empress ordered it to be sent to the household department for inventory and storage.

Then the dozen or so "captive representatives" were brought to the temple.

A moment later, more than a dozen ragged captives were brought into the hall trembling under the gaze of a group of Supreme Heaven-level masters.

didn't let them kneel, Da Yao didn't have this habit, just let them stand there and be watched by everyone.

But such onlookers are close to torture for them, think of a dozen rabbits being watched by dozens of lions, and those lions are also prepared with sesame seeds, cumin, pepper and salt, pots and pans, and barbecue grills, which is probably how they felt at the time.

The empress sat above and tapped her chin with one hand, feeling bored for a while.

Such a captive made her not have the slightest interest.

"What are you doing in the Cloud Country?" said the Empress in the middle of the ring.

There was silence afterward.

"Are you all dumb?" Your Majesty didn't answer the question, I'm afraid I'm tired of being alive!" Bing Siqing Lian Liang's eyes widened, and a cold and piercing murderous aura emanated from him.

"Spare your life! Your Majesty spare your life!" The dozen or so people were immediately paralyzed, these people had already been exhausted after all the hardships along the way, and they were even more panicked when they were taken to the center of the temple.

Someone immediately got their pants wet, making everyone frown.

"Forget it, take it all with you. The empress waved her hand rather boringly, and asked people to take these people down, which was regarded as a passing scene for the prisoners.

"These habits of Daxia are really boring. After the people were taken down, the empress said.

The captivity was naturally learned from Great Xia, and it was the first time the empress had experienced it, and the result made her very disappointed, watching a few ragged ants trembling in front of her, very boring and boring.

"Your Majesty, these captives are really worthless, next time if you capture the emperor and prime minister of Izumo Province, bring them and let Your Majesty ask them what they think. Ren Baqian stood in the column and waited for a few people to be pulled down before he spoke.

"Well, that's the same thing. The empress nodded, if the high-ranking officials of the Yun Kingdom were offered, she would be able to see them.

"That's it, these people really don't have any need to sacrifice prisoners, and I don't know which bastard arranged it, let Your Majesty see the ugliness of these people, I'm afraid it's not very easy to use your brains. Tong Zhenye said disdainfully.

Qin Chuan suddenly looked at him angrily.

The others had a happy attitude of waiting to see a good show.

Anyway, the two have been fighting for so many years, and everyone has long been used to it.

"That's it, all of them stand down. The empress said lightly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has one more thing to say. Seeing the empress speak, Tong Zhenye hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, now Damo Mountain produces nearly 200,000 catties of iron every month, but the transportation force is insufficient, and a large amount of iron ore has been accumulated in Damo Mountain. At the same time, the iron melting furnaces and forging mills of the Nineteen Rivers also needed to be expanded.

There is also a shortage of personnel in the salt well, which also needs to be expanded.

In addition, the walls and government offices of each city need to be repaired. ”

As he spoke, Tong Zhenye took out a stack of paper with dense characters from his arms, and immediately a guard took it and put it on the desk in front of the empress.

"Your Majesty, there are still two months left in the front-line salary, and in the past few months, the loss of weapons is too great, and the blades of many soldiers have been used as iron plates.

And the salaries of these auxiliaries have not yet been decided, even if you don't mention the monthly example, Your Majesty should reward the auxiliaries this time!" Qin Chuan then spoke.

The two were surprisingly in step at this time.

"Your Majesty, last year's Yulu, the household department only allocated fifty percent, and it was still half away. If it doesn't go on again, I'm afraid that many officials will not be able to eat meat!" Xiong Yaohe, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, followed closely.

Typical why not eat minced meat...... But there's nothing wrong with that!

"Your Majesty, now the Department of Public Security ......"

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately followed the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites to speak.

The hall suddenly became similar to the vegetable market, and a group of people stood below and shouted, and between the lines were six words: money, things, and people!

"Your Majesty, by no means, last year there were many damage in the northern cities, and the allocation of money and grain consumed most of the national treasury. After that, many of the walled castles in the northeast were attacked by Izumo Province, and it was also necessary to allocate food to help the people there tide over.

All these silver taels were transferred, and they were only barely able to make the people who had destroyed the walled city hold out until the spring harvest!

Ren Baqian opened his mouth, but he actually owed the Governor's Mansion several months of food! The emperor can't send hungry soldiers!

However, seeing Tu Wan's breath bulging all over his body and knocking everyone else aside, Ren Baqian did not speak very sensibly.

His body is not like Tong Zhenye and others.

It doesn't matter if they are hit, they will lose half their lives if they are hit!

Well, the hundred households in the Duwei Mansion are all rich people, and they should not be short of this amount of food, and they will not starve to death for the time being, so it is better to mention this matter to His Majesty again.

"Shut up!" the empress's face turned blue, her hair began to float, and her aura was like a towering mountain, suppressing everyone.

"All go down, and discuss it after counting!" the empress said coldly.

"Your Majesty......" Tong Zhen was unwilling to open his ambitions.

"Go down!" A red, square brick slapped on the door of Tong Zhenye's head, and it was smashed instantly.

This thing feels very good, and the empress is always accurate when thrown it.

It's a pity that the meaning of this brick is far greater than the lethality, for Tong Zhenye, it is no different from a piece of tofu on the brain, and the lethality may not be as big as the tofu on the head of ordinary people.

Just tell everyone that Your Majesty is in a bad mood right now and doesn't want to talk to them, hurry up and get out of here, otherwise you're going to go crazy!

Everyone saw that the empress's face was ugly and she was on the verge of anger, so they had to temporarily stop and retreat.

Ren Baqian stayed at the end, half a step behind the empress and walked out with her.

"Your Majesty, it's not worth being angry about. Ren Baqian whispered comforting behind the empress.

"What are you angry about?" the empress, who was still angry, turned her head and looked calm.

"For so many years, every year, I've been used to it. The empress glanced at him and said.

"It's just that they are noisy. ”

Ren Baqian couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that the empress also had time to act.

"Anyway, when they don't have money, they quarrel, and when they have a little money, they have to quarrel. I thought, when the cloud country is defeated and there is money, they should stop arguing. The empress then said.

"They'll be arguing about something else. Ren Baqian thought for a while.

"When I'm hungry, I want to fill my stomach, and when I'm full, I want to dress warmly, and when I'm full and warm, I should think about something else. The ancients said well: full of warm thoughts**!"

The empress kicked Ren Baqian in the calf, and Ren Baqian felt as if he had heard the sound of bone cracking......

"What are you thinking about keeping warm?" the empress asked with a cold look at him.

"What the ancients said, not what I said!" Ren Baqian jumped in a circle with his legs in his arms.

How innocent you are!

"Humph!" the empress snorted.

"Actually, this is false, everything in the world is appearance, it is false, not true. If I feel pain, it hurts. If I see through this illusion, I won't feel pain. Amitabha!" Ren Baqian took a long time to cool down before putting his legs down, trying to keep his face calm and making himself look like a monk.

These days, I have also made great progress in the Buddhist scriptures, and I feel that it is really good for me to learn the Dharma at this time.

Sometimes it's still very useful, just like calming the mind and naturally cooling, it's very useful!

The empress kicked him in the other leg, then slowed down and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Ren Baqian twitched the folds of his face......

"It hurts!"
