"I understand the difficulties of the two in my heart, and I can understand them." Pei Shiqing said: "But the princess's filial piety, can't the two be considerate? The saint's body has shown to the people, since he became the throne, there has been no major construction, and the regular service for one year is also But thirty sets, the cost of eating and drinking is inferior to that of some wealthy officials and gentry." Sigh and shook his head: "We are courtiers, of course we have to think about the people, but can't we think about the saints? The saints have a Buddha heart, nothing more than Still thinking about the people of the world, now that a royal temple is to be built, can we be courtiers to stop this project?"

Yao Mubai said: "The building of the imperial temple is natural...it is natural, but can the court find a solution elsewhere? Sir, Xiling...Xiling...Xiling is really unbearable."

"If I can think of a solution elsewhere, the princess will not let me find a solution in Xiling." Shiqing Pei said: "General, Master Duhu, to say something that shouldn't be said, the court has not taken it from Xiling for more than ten years. When it comes to taxation, all the taxes paid by the people are in the private pockets of the Xiling family, especially the three gates of Xiling." He picked up the teacup, sipped the tea, and slowly said: "The money donated by the Yuwen family, in the final analysis, that All are in arrears of taxes accumulated by the court, and it is reasonable for the court to ship them back now."

The general's expression became stern, and he said lightly: "Shiqing Pei, does the court want to abandon Xiling?"

The general's tone was already quite rude.

"Where did the general start?" Pei Shiqing said with a smile: "If the court really wants to abandon Xiling, how can we let the general prepare for battle in Xiling? The world knows that General Black Feather is the first one of my data A world-famous general, who can allow the general to sit in Xiling, naturally, he takes Xiling very seriously."

"Then I'll be straightforward." The general said, "If you transport the silver donated by the family back to Kyoto, Xiling will no longer recruit soldiers, and even officials of all sizes will no longer need to be errands."

Yao Mubai knows that the general is a warrior. To condescend to come today is enough to give Shiqing Pei's face, but as a soldier, and a decisive general, the hardness in his bones is naturally extraordinary. Once he really annoys the general, the general is in his bones. Domineering will radiate.

He knew that an eunuch in Shiqing Pei's district was nothing, but the people behind him were really not something the general could offend.

"Your Majesty, the general meant that the Ministry of Household has no money to pay for military salaries and salaries. It is naturally impossible to recruit soldiers. If officials of all sizes can't receive salary, I'm afraid it will cause trouble." Yao Mubai immediately ended the game: Sending to serve as the supervising army naturally also recruits soldiers and horses together with the generals. There is no money in this hand, and the errands of the magistrate are not easy."

Shiqing Pei calmly said: "The saint sent me to Xiling to serve as the army building, but before I became the supervising army, I was a member of the North Campus. It was not good to say that it was a dog of the princess. What did the master let me do? Naturally do something, otherwise it’s not a good dog.” Looking at Yao Mubai, he calmly said: “I heard that Master Duhu has also raised a few bulldogs. I dare to ask Master Duhu. If the bulldog is not obedient, I don’t know what to do with it? Is it thrown away and let it become a stray dog, or is it beaten to death with a stick?"

Yao Mubai obviously didn't expect Pei Shiqing to speak so bluntly. He was taken aback, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Shiqing Pei has what Shiqing Pei has to do, and this general also has the responsibility of this general." The general looked cold, and said lightly: "This general is aimed at Xiling.

Training soldiers, preparing for war and preparing to resist the Wutuo people, in the general's mind, everything must be this first."I glanced at Shiqing Pei and said: "Shiqing Pei wants to transport the money back into the treasury. Without the will of the saint, I am forgiven."

Shiqing Pei also looked a little ugly, and said with a sneer: "What the general meant, the royal temple will not be built?"

"Whether you want to cut the royal temple, the general is a martial artist, and he is not qualified to say more." The general said: "The general is just doing his duty and doing his own thing well."

Shiqing Pei sighed and said: "His Royal Highness has high hopes for the silver here, General, if you block the silver from being shipped back, what would your Royal Highness think?" Sitting on the chair, he said: "If you want to stop, I will naturally There is nothing I can do. When the time comes, the princess sees that the money here is not in place. How can I respond? Is it because the general blocked the construction of the royal temple?"

"Master Shiqing, the general has absolutely no intention of this." Yao Mubai said immediately: "I am going to be an official, and I hope that the Royal Temple can be completed soon." After a pause, he said: "The general and the Shiqing are not in a hurry, let's sit down. Come down and discuss it slowly to see if there is a solution."

Shiqing Pei took a look at the sitting general and sighed: "General, Master Duhu said it is very true. After all, we are all doing errands for the empire, and we all hope to do the things at hand well. There are some disputes. It's inevitable." Looking at Yao Mubai, he asked, "Master Duhu has the best of both worlds?"

"It's almost impossible to complete both sides." Yao Mubai smiled bitterly: "It's nothing more than a step back from both sides. Sir Shiqing, don't you think this can be done? After entering the warehouse, we will make an inventory, except for some essentials. All the expenses, if there are surpluses, will be transported back to Kyoto by Master Shiqing."

Shiqing Pei smiled and said, "Master Duhu, what is the necessary expenditure? How much surplus can there be?" He picked up the teacup again, drew the tea foam with the tea lid, and said calmly: "Is it necessary to return to the princess to build a royal Yusi, have to wait for the remaining silver in Xiling? Master Protector, if you dare to write a letter, I would never dare to return to the princess like this. It is impossible for my Duke of Tang to use some silver, so I have to wait. Looking at other people's leftovers?"

The general closed his eyes and said nothing.

"If this is not the case, what good can Sir Shiqing do?" Yao Mubai spread out his hands and smiled bitterly: "The imperial court's order requires the generals to prepare money and food in Xiling. They must provide the general's needs. Xiling all uses silver. At that time, the next official will be found. In Kyoto, the princess wants silver to build the imperial imperial temple, but there is only so much silver. If you take care of this end, you can’t take care of the other. If you take care of the other end, you can’t do things here. It’s really impossible. The official can only resign to the court and return to the province."

Shiqing Pei smiled faintly, and said: "The Yuwen family and the Fan family have taken the initiative to donate their wealth. The Master Protector from the Zhen family will also send someone to talk over and let them learn from each other. Together, the three surnames of Xiling, donated. Silver is not a minority. In addition, there are hundreds of large and small families in Xiling. For more than ten years, these people have been full of people, and each of them has a wealth of wealth. Master Protector will discuss with me, let the wind go, let these families The rich family also donated some silver. I know that the people of Xiling are suffering, but the Xiling family all have silver. As long as they use some means, they dare not refuse to donate."

Yao Mubai glanced at the general and could only say: "It is naturally a way to let the wealthy family donate silver, but the timing is not." After a pause, he said: "The situation in Xiling is not stable yet, although the three surnames of Xiling have fallen. , But the strength of the Xiling family is still very strong. According to the lower officials, the more at this time

, The more you want to appease the Xiling family, at least you have to wait until the situation in Xiling is completely stabilized.Let them donate money at this time, they may misunderstand that the court will be cruel to them, but it will make the situation more complicated."

"Master Duhu was right." The general finally opened his eyes: "Now Xiling's wealth is almost in the hands of the Xiling family. I have discussed with Master Duhu before, and sooner or later I will let these families exploit the people over the years. They spit out all the grease, but it’s not now. The grease they spit can only be used in Xiling. If the magistrate now asks them to donate, they may be forced to donate part of it to protect themselves, but in the future Let them donate again, what would they think?" He glanced at Shiqing Pei and said: "For the Xiling family, we must beware of control and appeasement. For these people, we must not act too hastily in everything. Once they are too urgent, it will be counterproductive. Anyone who is not allowed will cause trouble."

Shiqing Pei sighed: "The general and Master Duhu talked about it, but in the end they were embarrassing me and didn't understand the princess's filial piety."

"My Lord Duhu and I are just telling the truth about the current situation of Xiling." The general said: "Shiqing Pei, please also write down the situation of Xiling to the saint. Xiling is not only the house supporting the construction of the royal temple, but also the imperial court. After allocating money, food and equipment, I will also write a book with you." He stood up and said, "The military is busy, goodbye!" Before Shiqing Pei could speak, he turned and walked away.

Shiqing Pei and Yao Mubai were both startled. When the general was far away, Shiqing Pei smiled and said, "General Black Feather is worthy of a military background. This temper is...!"

"Master Shiqing still understands the general's difficulties." Yao Mubai said: "A clever woman can't afford to cook without rice. The Xiling of the University of Nuovo requires silver everywhere. The general knew that he had to transport silver from Xiling to build the imperial temple, so he was naturally anxious." Leaning forward slightly: "Master Shiqing doesn’t know it, but the Wutuo Khanate has undergone drastic changes. The White Wolf King, who has been opposed to Wutuo’s eastward advance, was assassinated. Without this White Wolf King, Wutuo’s main warrior faction took over. With the upper hand, the warrior has a history of horses. According to the general's estimation, it only takes two years. The Wutuo people will be able to prepare properly, and then they will most likely send troops to the east."

Shiqing Pei said "Oh", and Yao Mubai continued: "But you can see the current situation of Xiling, it can be described as a pile of loose sand. Two years ago, it was very urgent for the general. It is necessary to seize the time to train and deploy troops. It cannot be delayed. It’s very important to the general, and I hope the servant will appreciate it."

"I just said that I can understand your difficulties." Shiqing Pei also smiled bitterly: "But Master Duhu should also understand my difficulties. I'm just the North District Attorney, the princess sent me over to do things, do I have to violate the master I’m not doing it well, it’s nothing but heads falling, but this matter will not end because my heads falling, and the princess will send other people when the time comes. I can still discuss with you today if someone else is sent. , But it would not be so polite."

Yao Mubai nodded slightly, knowing that Shiqing Pei was saying this from the bottom of his heart.

"Master Duhu still go to persuade the general." Pei Shiqing said: "I have admiration for the general, knowing that he is dedicated to his country, but you know, the princess is the jewel in the palm of the saint, and even the northern courtyard is handed over to the princess. It can be seen that the princess is important in the saint’s heart. If the general really offends the princess, do you think the general will be okay in the future? I really don’t want the general to be involved in right and wrong, so I have this heartfelt statement. If you shouldn’t say something, the whole Xiling is If you lose it, the princess may not care about it, but if the money is not shipped back, do you think the princess will give up?"
