The Golden Age

Chapter 287: Musk Moon

Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!When the night was in the sky, Qin Xiao had mixed feelings.

Shopkeeper Bai said that Tang Rong's words were not credible, but Qin Xiao did not think that shopkeeper Bai's words were credible.

The words and deeds of these people are false and true, full of deceit.

"The shopkeeper thinks if Mr. Big really exists, what kind of person would he be?" Qin Xiao pondered, and finally asked.

"It's hard to tell whether Mr. Da is alone or not." The shopkeeper Bai smiled faintly: "Like the Ziyi Supervisor, you can say it is an organization, but you can also say that the Ziyi Supervisor is a person."

"Is the Ziyi Supervisor alone?"

The treasurer Bai glanced at Qin Xiao and then said, "It seems that you don't know the Ziyi Supervisor very well." After a pause, he said, "Do you know who the saint trusts the most?"

Qin Xiao thought that I had never seen a saint before, so I never knew who he trusted.

"Whether it is a civil servant or a military commander, they have their own families and their own interests." The treasurer Bai said calmly: "The so-called civil servants and military commanders, although there are also national fighters like General Kuroba who serve the country and the people, but There have never been many such people, and they are more thinking about adding officials to the ranks and seeking greater benefits for their family. In the eyes of these people, the emperor allows them to be promoted and wealthy, that is, a good emperor, if it hurts them The interests of the emperor are not good emperors. They judge whether the emperor is good or bad. It is never whether the emperor can do his best, but whether he can bring them benefits."

Qin Xiao knows very little about the court, and in the captain's mansion, few people dare to comment on the court.

But he knew that the words of treasurer Bai had hit the nail on the head.

"Compared to those civil servants and generals, the eunuchs in the palace are more trusted by the emperor." Bai treasurer said: "No matter how powerful the eunuchs are, they are incomplete after all. Even ordinary people cannot look down on them in their bones. In their hearts, only the palace is their home, and the saints are their parents. They protect the saints. If they protect their homes, they will have the same heart with the saints compared to the ministers of civil and military affairs."

Qin Xiao knew that the treasurer Bai suddenly mentioned the eunuch in the palace. It was definitely not a whim. No matter what this kind of person said, it had a purpose, so he listened carefully, and he was really interested in the affairs of the court. Now that the treasurer Bai mentioned about the court affairs, he didn't mind knowing a little bit about it.

"The palace is the home of the eunuchs, and the saint naturally trusts them." The treasurer Bai said: "So after the saint became the throne, he reused the eunuch, the purple clothes prison and the north courtyard, which are the two sharp blades of the saint."

Qin Xiao immediately thought of Grandpa Pei who had just arrived in Fenggan Mansion today, and said: "Someone is coming from the north courtyard, like Pei!"

"That's Pei Yan among the four servants of the North Court." The treasurer Bai said, "Except for the servants of the North Court, there are the four major servants below."

"Where is the North Campus?"

"Naturally, you don't know the Southern Court." The treasurer Bai laughed: "Since Emperor Wu Zong began, the Southern Court has been established. Southern Xinjiang was conquered by Emperor Wu Zong and became the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It was also at the time of Emperor Wu Zong. The Tang conquest of the Bohai country eventually made the Bohai country bow to its head. Emperor Wuzong liked military affairs. Although the prime minister of military affairs, Emperor Wuzong liked to rush some favorite generals to discuss military affairs. Therefore, the South Court was established. Once there is war, the Ministry of War is responsible. Dispatch soldiers and horses, and all military decision-making orders are issued from the South Yard. In other words, the Ministry of War is responsible for sending troops to fight, and the South Yard is responsible for deciding how to fight this battle."

"In other words, without the decision-making order of the South Court, the Ministry of War cannot easily mobilize soldiers and horses. All the soldiers and horses can only be mobilized by the South Court's decision." Qin Xiao instantly understood: "Although the South Court can decide how to fight,

But he couldn't mobilize one soldier."

The treasurer Bai smiled and said, "I hit the nail on the head."

Qin Xiao thought that Emperor Wu Zong's move actually weakened the power of the Ministry of War, allowing the South Court and the Ministry of War to check and balance each other.

"The empire has always had only the South Court. The North Court was established after the saints today became kings." The treasurer Bai said, "In fact, there were already similar responsibilities to the North Court before today, but it's no different from the North Court. This is so powerful. All soldiers and horses of the empire are equipped with supervising troops. The responsibility of supervising troops is mainly to report to the court in detail." Fuxu said: "All generals are naturally worried that the supervising army will be playing. In the newspaper, they are all respectful to the supervising army. Although the supervising army has no right to ask how to march and fight, but because of the power to report the situation, many supervising army intervenes in military affairs, and the leading generals dare not object. ."

Qin Xiao thought to himself that it seemed that Pei Yan from the North Hospital came to Xiling to supervise the army.

Although General Black Feather was famous all over the world, the court still sent a supervising army by his side.

"Today, the North Yard is established. All the supervising troops in the world come from the North Yard." The treasurer Bai said: "The North Yard is actually the Army Yard." With a faint smile, he said: "But the supervisor of the North Yard. The army is much more powerful than the supervising army back then."

Qin Xiao asked, "Can they already blatantly interrogate military affairs?"

"That's not true." The treasurer Bai said: "Eunuchs are eunuchs after all. If they really blatantly interrogate military affairs, the South Court will not condone." After a pause, he continued: "The supervising army naturally still has the ability to report to the court. In addition, the North Yard also needs to deal with the money and food in the army. In the past, the money and food in the army were directly raised and dispatched by the Ministry of Households, but now the Ministry of Households is only qualified to raise money, food and equipment. Even if it has the power to allocate money, food and equipment, it is In the hands of the North Court. As you said earlier, without the North Court’s transfer order, the Household Department cannot mobilize money and grain equipment. The money and grain equipment can only be transferred by the North Court. Similarly, the North Court can mobilize money and grain. The courtyard itself cannot get these money and grain, and all the money, grain and equipment are controlled by the household department."

"The household department is the real warehouse." Qin Xiao understood.

The treasurer Bai laughed and said: "In an empire, the most important thing is two things. One is the money, food and equipment in the hand, and the other is the soldiers and horses. The northern courtyard checks and balances the household department, and the southern courtyard checks and balances the war department. So the power held by the northern courtyard is not small. The operation of the world’s money and food is in the hands of the eunuchs in the North Court. This time Pei Yan came to Xiling, and General Hei Yu recruited troops to prepare for battle. He could not ask the court for money and food. Pei Yan must submit to the North Court according to the needs of General Hei Yu. Submit the list of required materials so that money and food can be transferred from the Ministry of Households."

Qin Xiao suddenly understood at this time why General Black Feather would go to the post house to meet Pei Yan in person after he knew that Pei Yan had arrived.

Pei Yan is the attendant of the North Campus, and his status may be far behind the general, but he has the power to transport money and food. It is difficult for a clever woman to have no rice to cook. If a general wants to recruit soldiers, he must have money for food. All of this, the general can only rely on Pei. Yan got it.

The general went to see Pei Yan in person, of course not on the face of the eunuch, but on the money and food Xiling needed urgently.

"The envoy of the North Court is also the eunuch in the palace?" Qin Xiao asked.

The treasurer Bai shook his head and said: "No. Now the envoy of the North Court is Princess Musk Moon, the jewel in the palm of today's saint."

Qin Xiao said in surprise: "The envoy is a princess?"

"Not bad." The treasurer Bai said: "According to the rumor that this princess has been good at calculating since childhood, you can understand that she is meticulous in calculations, and you can also say that she is good at arithmetic. There is a story that has been circulating that it is her. When I was a few years old, I found out that the chief eunuch in the palace had embezzled a large sum of silver, and calculated every

About the amount of embezzlement every month or even every day, after the investigation, the number of recruiting eunuch chiefs was almost the same as the number calculated by Princess Musk."

Qin Xiao said in amazement, "Isn't that Princess Musk Moon brilliant and brilliant?"

"If it's not brilliant, how can you rule the North Campus?" The treasurer Bai smiled and said: "Compared with the North Campus, the most terrifying knife in my hand today is the Purple Clothes Inspector." At this point, the treasurer Bai A cold expression appeared between the eyebrows: "The North Yard controls rich food, and it can even intervene in many military affairs. The power is already great, but compared to the North Yard, the purple clothes prison is even more creepy, especially the size of the court. Officials, when it comes to the Purple Clothes Prison, it is a change of talk."

"Officials are afraid of the Purple Clothes Prison?"

"The Ziyi Supervisor has the right to supervise the officials of the world." The treasurer Bai said: "Officials below the third grade, the Ziyi Supervisor does not even have to ask the emperor for an order. You can cut it first and play it later."

Qin Xiao has always lived in Xiling and knows very little about the Ziyi Supervisor. In fact, because Xiling is controlled by the Xiling family, the power of the imperial court will not blatantly appear in Xiling. The Duhu Mansion is nothing but the Duwei Mansion. It is used as the ears and eyes of cloth in Xiling.

Even if the Ziyi Supervisor hadn't appeared in Xiling.

"Have you rarely heard of the Ziyi Supervisor in Xiling?" The treasurer Bai seemed to see through Qin Xiao's thoughts, and said: "I haven't heard of it. It doesn't mean that they don't exist. In fact, in Wutuo, there are their powers. The power over there is relatively weak."

"The shopkeeper knows they are in Xiling?"

"I ask you, what is the biggest bank today?"

Qin Xiao didn't even think about it, and immediately said, "That is naturally Baofenglong."

"Not bad." The shopkeeper Bai said with a smile: "Baofenglong connects the world, in the territory of Datang, the land of Xiling, and even in Wutuo, there are banks of Baofenglong. There are more than hundreds of banks controlled by Baofenglong? People mention Baofenglong, and everyone who is familiar with Baofenglong knows that the owner of Baofenglong is Yangzhou Cai, a riding school. Do you think a small Yangzhou Cai can reach the point of connecting the world?"

"I heard that Baofenglong is the royal family, and Baofenglong is the royal bank."

The treasurer Bai smiled and said: "This is only half right. Baofenglong is indeed backed by the royal family, but it is not a royal bank. It is an emperor's bank. To put it more clearly, Baofenglong is actually the emperor's inner bank. About 70% of the emperor’s required expenses were taken from Baofenglong, and it was the Ziyijian who controlled Baofenglong for the emperor.

Qin Xiao's body was shocked: "The shopkeeper, you mean, Baofenglong is controlled by Ziyijian?"

"Baofenglong is rich in an enemy country. How could the emperor allow such a force to exist? If it weren't owned by the emperor, the Cai clan of Yangzhou would have been full of copies." The treasurer Bai said calmly: "Without the support of the emperor, Baofenglong would naturally not It may be what it is today, and it is even more impossible to connect the world. Baofenglong is not only the place where the Ziyijian helped the emperor to collect money, but also the eyeliner of the Ziyijian distributed all over the world. And this is only part of the power of the Ziyijian, you say, the Ziyijian Isn't it scary?"
