After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 296

"Does Master Chu from the Ministry of War have any other questions?"

Ye Hanyu thought about it and said, "My nephew just found out that his brother-in-law seems to have caught him for something, which made him have to pay for his brother-in-law, but if there is something wrong, he has to investigate it carefully."

What can be called a handle is naturally not a good thing, so it really needs to be investigated.

The war king nodded.

"This matter is almost done. The king will return to Youzhou in the next few days. Take care."

"Uncle Huang, according to my nephew's wishes, this time you return to Youzhou, you will take this money away directly, and let your subordinates collect grain and grass from various places, and transport it to Youzhou quietly.

Soldiers are precious and fast, if you wait until the war starts to prepare food and grass, accidents will easily happen. "

The emperor strongly supports the war king, but many ministers are best at wrangling. He can't do it well, or even do it well.

Instead of this, it's better to hold the initiative in your own hands. Isn't there a saying, don't panic if you have food in your hand, if you have food and grass, how can the emperor be invincible in battle!
When the two armies were fighting, everyone used everything to their advantage. Even if many people with malicious intentions were found out because of the assassin, who can guarantee that there will be no one Beiliang buys or installs in the court?

These people don't have to do anything else, just playing bureaucrats can drag things out of control, and it takes time to raise food and grass from the capital. But it's worth it.

After all, it is not uncommon for the two armies to burn each other's food and grass against each other.

The King of War did not refute. He has been stationed on the frontier for many years. What he is most afraid of when he goes to the battlefield is that the food and grass behind him will not be able to keep up with the war. Those private properties are almost spent. This time, Lao Liu can come up with such a way to get such a large sum of money, which is definitely a big help.

"Understood, this king will go back to the palace and talk to the emperor about this matter."

The two of them counted the money that the Ministry of Punishment had collected, and brought all the money that had been collected into the palace.

The remaining ones will be sent to the palace by the people from the Ministry of Punishment.

……

In Chaoyang Palace, Ye Hanyu and Zhan Wang each presented a booklet.

The emperor first picked up the one above, Ye Hanyu saw it and explained: "Father, there are some problems with the people on this roster, I marked the few ministers who were happy to be given by Yin Zi, and the remaining four are still there. Please ask Father to send someone to watch it personally, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

The emperor nodded secretly, the record in this booklet is very clear, such as that Master Chu, his brother-in-law, Master Liu, and the old bustards of three brothels.

"One more thing, my son thinks that the Zuihonglou father can open it by himself, not to mention earning money, and can also collect news from various families in the capital. It's just that he needs to re-arrange a bustard for Zuihonglou."

Li Changhai's eyes widened, the emperor opened a brothel?

If people outside know about this, what's the deal?

"Father has so many capable people under his command, all he needs to do is to send a suitable person there, or simply choose one of the secret guards. The secret guard has a special status, and outsiders don't know him even if he sees it. Who would know that the brothel was opened by Father? of?"

Even if they knew, who would dare to say anything?
Of course, if you open a brothel for intelligence gathering, it's better not to let outsiders know about it.

Your Majesty and the others: ...It seems that there are so many points of truth.

"As for the old bustard, my son thinks that the old bustard in Yanzhilou is a good character, and the emperor can send someone to test her."

The emperor didn't express his opinion on the spot, but he already roughly agreed in his heart that the brothel is the place where the gossip spreads the most and the fastest, because there are all kinds of people who go to the brothel, and after drinking a little wine, and then being coaxed by women, it is such a confidential matter If he can really control a few brothels, then the secret guards who are responsible for collecting information will also be able to relax.

Moreover, the minds of the hidden guards have been solidified, they only collect the information they think should be collected, and some seemingly inconspicuous but useful information are missed by them.

"Well, I will consider this matter."

After that, he picked up the pamphlet written by the King of War.

When he saw these people who went shopping in brothels, they could collect more than 100 million yuan in fines alone. His face was ugly.

Usually, these ministers always say that they are poor, miserable, earn little, and the landlord’s family has no surplus food. They had to base their donations on the basis of the snow disaster last year, but it’s their turn to share the trouble themselves. The money seems worthless. The dirt is like rubbish, and it is a joy to take it out.

Thinking of what Lao Liu said about using silver instead of punishment, so that there would be no shortage of silver when beating the cane, he asked, "How much is left that hasn't been sent back?"

Zhan Wang said: "There are more than 40 taels."

"Jing Xiu, if the money is handed over to you directly, can you guarantee that there will be no problems with your logistics supply?"

The emperor asked this sentence after careful consideration, and the ability of the king of war is one aspect.

In the early years when he first came to the throne, he went to the battlefield by himself, and the supply of the army was a headache.

Every time when the father was in a war, the father ordered that supplies should be sent from all over the country to the capital, and the food and grass would be ready before being transported to the battlefield. Not to mention the waste of time in the middle, there would be a lot of extra consumption, which was not worthwhile.

But for several generations, everyone has done it this way, and no one can tell what is right or wrong.

Now that he has become the Empress himself, he knows that every tael of silver is hard to come by, and the emperor is a person worthy of his trust. Give him the silver and let him prepare food and grass by himself. He thinks he can give it a try.

King Zhan glanced at Lao Liu and said in his heart: Brother Huang and Lao Liu actually thought of getting together, just now he was still thinking about how to ask Brother Huang for money, but it turned out that he didn't need it at all.

He bowed his head upwards: "Your brother can."

The emperor simply said: "Then I will hand over the collected items to you first, and take them away when I return to Youzhou. The remaining 40 taels will be used to silence the ministers in the court."

He himself has a lot of income recently, so he is not short of money.But if the household department knew that Lao Liu had acquired such a large sum of money in the past two days, he would definitely miss it.

The last disaster relief money was squeezed out by them, and it was right to give them hundreds of thousands.

The King of War bowed his hands and saluted, "My brother, thank you for your trust."

"Okay, let's stop talking about those polite words of our brothers. Have you thought about the day you want to leave?"

Zhan Wang said: "I have to leave sooner or later. If this is the case, it should be sooner rather than later. Let's do it tomorrow."

The emperor was silent for a while, he knew that there must be more work for him to leave the matter of food and grass to Zhan Wang himself, and he should leave early. "
