Zhu Yihai can't get angry, so when he gets angry, he tells others, I know.

If you know, you have to explain, how to explain?

Therefore, Zhu Yihai can only pretend not to know, and pretending to be stupid is also a kind of ability.

Especially if you know it, you have to pretend that you don't know.

Knowing that he has lost face, he has to carry out the loss to the end, which is not only a kind of ability, but also a kind of city government and a kind of self-cultivation.

This is precisely Zhu Yihai's strength.

"Come on, quickly help Wu Baihu up, Lone said on the road, Lone should thank Wu Baihu and the soldiers who killed the enemy, and make a salute, it is you who saved the court and saved millions of people in Shaoxing Mansion."

Wu Zheng sweated profusely in his heart, and secretly felt ashamed of himself.

"The minister doesn't dare, this victory is the soldier's life, the minister is just a fluke, don't dare to thank His Highness and salute."

The sedan chair was carried by everyone.

Although Zhu Yihai hated Wu Zheng, this kid originally wanted to rely on him, but he acted so formlessly, he lost face.

But at this time, seeing Wu Zheng coming up and desperately building steps for himself, Zhu Yihai felt that Wu Zheng could still be trained.

"Wu Baihu, this time you have a meritorious role in killing the enemy, and Lone will never hesitate to reward you. Come, Zhu Aiqing, let's go into the house together to discuss how to reward these meritorious people. ”

A group of civil and military officers marched in response.

The scene became very strange.

Wei Wenyuan knelt on Wu Zheng's left side, not wanting Zhu Yihai to ignore him at all.

Not even a hint of the corner of the eye.

You must know that Wei Wenyuan came with 3,000 elites to reinforce him.

Previously, Wu Zheng, a mere hundred households, ignored him, which had already made Wei Wenyuan angry.

Now that the contempt from the king, how can he swallow this breath?

Not only did Wei Wenyuan lose face, but even the three thousand soldiers behind him were all exposed.

Wei Wenyuan had the heart to catch up and reason with Zhu Yihai, but he didn't dare after all.

Not to mention that Wang Zhiren did not authorize him to do this, but insisted on doing so, Wei Wenyuan was also taboo about the more than 500 soldiers in front of him.

Wei Wenyuan has been in the army for 20 years, and he has never eaten pork, and he has always seen pigs run.

Looks, just looking at the eyes, Wei Wenyuan was not sure if the three thousand people under his command could bargain for more than five hundred.

Needless to say, Liao Zhongping was vigilant there.

Wei Wenyuan could only stomp his feet and swallow this breath raw.

……。

After entering the palace, Wu Zheng looked at Zhu Yihai much more pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Yihai did not discuss with the ministers at all, but directly announced the reward decision.

Wu Zheng was promoted to the Lianghu Guard, and all the officers under him were promoted to one level, and the Lianghu Guards were replenished on the same day, and all supplies were given priority.

But Wu Zheng immediately found that Zhu Yihai became unpleasant again.

Because, regarding the bereavement of the dead and disabled soldiers, Zhu Yihai did not mention a word.

What the hell is this?

Wu Zheng is not a master who is willing to suffer.

"Your Highness. Due to the lack of troops, the minister promised the strong and righteous soldiers temporarily recruited by Shining Town before the war, but where there were casualties, one person was compensated with 20 taels, and the statistics after the war showed a total of more than 500 casualties. After calculating, the pension is more than 10,000 taels of silver, and I beg His Highness to allow it to be allocated. ”

Zhu Yihai's originally vivid expression froze instantly.

There was silence in the hall.

Ten thousand taels of silver, in fact, it is really not much.

But the problem is that the court can't take it.

I really can't take it out.

Hubu Shangshu stepped forward and said: "Wu Qianhu doesn't know that the taxes paid by the counties under the control of the imperial court this year have been intercepted by the two princes of Xing and Yue, and the treasury has no money to use for the purpose of bereaving the soldiers. ”

Wu Zheng was dumbfounded.

The two princes of Xing and Yue knew that they were withholding taxes, but they didn't know that the treasury couldn't even take out 10,000 taels of silver.

The imperial court, the treasury.

I can't get 10,000 taels of silver, which family in Shaoxing Mansion doesn't have 10,000 taels of property?

Wu Zheng was silent.

Zhang Guowei suddenly stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that now is the time for the court to employ people, and no matter what, you can't chill the hearts of the soldiers." The courtiers thought that Tang Chinese martial arts, each of whom raised five hundred taels, could make up this amount. ”

It's a mess.

An official came out and said: "Zhang Gong's words are inappropriate, and it is natural to compensate the soldiers." It is difficult to convince the public that civil and military officials can raise donations in this way, and as soon as this case is opened, what have I become? Gold and silver mountains can't be made? ”

"Chen Shilang is right, Wu Qianhu agreed to such a high pension for the soldiers under his command without the consent of the imperial court, which is contrary to the law and cannot be tolerated."

"The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. Wu Qianhu has meritorious service in resisting the enemy, but the standard of compensation has its own old court rules, and it cannot be allowed to open the mouth of the general, and this trend cannot be long. ”

Zhu Yihai coughed dryly, "Wu Zheng, what do you think?" ”

What else can Wu Zheng say?

I think I'm unlucky, I really take care of this matter, every general can reward as much as he wants, and if the court wants to admit it, wouldn't it be chaotic?

Wu Zheng nodded and said: "Your Highness, what Fang Gong said is reasonable, but Wu Zheng was wrong and acted recklessly. In this way, according to the will of the princes, according to the old practice, the difference of two silver, the minister himself to find a way to raise it. ”

Zhu Yihai was overjoyed and said: "Wu Aiqing is really a loyal minister of the imperial court. ”

But the problem came again, the head of the household raised an objection, just two words, no money!

When Zhu Yihai set his eyes on Wu Zheng again, Wu Zheng was furious.

"Your Highness, if the minister can't compensate the soldiers, what face will he face his father and fellow villagers, and what face will he use to command the soldiers in the future?" Wu Zheng took a fierce medicine, "Your Highness and the princes all know that the enemy who came this time has 2,000 cavalry, and only half of the battle of Shining Town was annihilated, and half of them are unknown. ”

This is intimidation.

The people present are all human spirits, how can they not understand.

If this had been before, Wu Zheng would have been punished for the crime of bullying the king.

But now, who dares to mention it?

Zhu Yihai's face changed, "Dong Aiqing, you have to think about it." ”

Hubu Shangshu's face was embarrassed, and he responded: "Why don't you follow the old practice and levy additional taxes on the people of Shaoxing Mansion?" But this year, it has been levied three times, and if it is levied again, I am afraid that it will cause public anger. ”

Zhu Yihai squinted his eyes and said: "Dong Aiqing is in charge of this matter, as long as he sees 10,000 taels of silver within three days, he will be used to compensate the casualties." ”

The head of the household department should say: "The minister received the order, and today he issued an order to the eight county officials of Shaoxing Prefecture to collect a poll tax from the people registered in Shaoxing Mansion in the name of compensating the casualties and soldiers. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, whether to levy additional taxes or not is none of his business, to put it mildly, Wu Zheng does not have the kind of benevolent heart of cutting meat and feeding eagles.

But Zhu Yihai wants to increase taxes in the name of compensating the soldiers under his command, so wouldn't the people who were levied point at the old Wu family behind their backs and scold?

Wu Zheng said coldly: "Lord Dong is slow, and you don't have to worry about the matter of paying for the silver." Even if Wu sells land and farms, he doesn't want to be scolded by his parents and fellow villagers. This silver tael, Wu raised himself. ”
