I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 557 Details

 He wanted to take a long-term view, but he really didn’t have the conditions!

Lin Yi was about to go to Changqing Palace, but the eldest princess came directly.

“Auntie, you hide things deep enough,”

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, "There are thousands of people in the Imperial Guard, and the White Horse Temple has to be turned over three feet. It's easy to find them all."

The eldest princess said, "I did not choose this place to hide the treasure. It was dug by the empress dowager, the Holy Lady of Jizhao'an, after she entered the palace."

 “She would still choose a place,”

Lin Yi continued, "Auntie, there are still a few treasures hidden there. Just tell me. My nephew will ask later."

The eldest princess snorted coldly, "Are you trying to push your limits?"

“Auntie, what you said will hurt your nephew’s heart.”

Lin Yi felt unhappy.

The princess said, "It is my greatest sincerity to tell you this.

 What I want is for my child to be safe. "

Li Lin patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, aunt, although my nephew knows where he lives, he has not disturbed his life.

 Besides, no matter what, he is also my cousin, and my nephew is also a person who values ​​feelings and will never do anything dirty. "

The eldest princess said calmly, "That's good.

This time, if Jingkuan and Jingyi really enter the palace, I will have a life and death battle with them even if it is for myself. You don’t need to say more about this. "

Lin Yi said, "My nephew is still confused. Is my aunt's practice the Kungfu of Jizhao'an or the Kungfu of Xingchenhai?"

 “You’re making a lot of noise,”

The eldest princess walked back and forth in the garden, "Everyone from Jizhao'an is here, and the people from Jingangtai are probably not far away either."

 “Vajra Platform?”

Lin Yi couldn't say he liked these monks, but he couldn't say he disliked them either. He just asked curiously, "Will they help us?"

The eldest princess said, "You must also know that if we talk about a true royal temple, there is only one in our Daliang Kingdom. Whether it is the royal family or the generals, there are many disciples practicing in the King Kong Platform, and its influence on the government and the public is beyond your imagination. .

Even your maternal ancestor Zhu Guo had to lower his eyebrows and lower his head when he saw the great monk at the Vajra Platform.

　　If I remember correctly, Zhu Guo’s mentor is the current Grand Elder of Jingang Tai, Monk Wuxiang. "

Lin Yi said in surprise, "If they are so powerful, why is Jizhao'an so rampant?"

 This is what he has been most confused about.

 “Just balance,”

The eldest princess said lazily, "Neither my father nor my brother wants to be the only one in the family."

“So the saints from Jizhao’an can enter the palace and become concubines, and the monks from Jingangtai can be teachers and state advisors.”

Lin Yi suddenly realized, "If you say so, it would make sense.

As for Xingchenhai and Tuigu Temple, it is said that each of them is extremely powerful in kung fu, but why are they so vulnerable to foreign barbarians? "

The eldest princess sighed and said, "The foreign muskets can shoot out iron pillars all over the sky. It doesn't matter if you have one or two, but facing hundreds of them, even the great master has to avoid them. When the manpower is limited, , too many ants can kill a person.”

 “Musket?”

Lin Yi frowned and said, "Is that cannon powerful?"

 “Of course it’s great,”

The eldest princess continued, "Xing Shen Hai has been inherited for thousands of years and is impregnable. It is still bombarded by the foreign cannons and the dust and rubble are everywhere, and it is almost reduced to a piece of scorched earth."

"I can rest assured that,"

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Auntie, is there anything else you want to say?

 If nothing happens, my nephew will leave. "

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ded by

The eldest princess sighed and said, "I am also exhausted."

 “Nephew says goodbye.”

Lin Yi finished speaking and left without looking back.

After leaving the imperial garden, he stood in the huge square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and said, "I ordered you to go down and see if there are any people from the Vajra Platform in the city."

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, my news network is still not good!

The eldest princess told him that the people from Jizhao'an came to Ankang City!

 The people from Jingangtai would come to Ankang City, and it was the eldest princess who reminded him.

"yes."

Hong Ying said quickly.

“Also, the supervision of the manufacture of muskets must also be accelerated,”

Lin Yi frowned and said, "Let Liang Yuanzhi make a few trips in person to see if there are any difficulties there. If you want money, give money or people."

 “The little one understands.”

How stingy are you and Wang Ye?

 Hong Ying, this great companion, naturally understands it!

Of course I know how difficult it is to get Prince He to say "if you want money, give money"!

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to these muskets and artillery!

 Hong Ying therefore did not dare to be careless at all.

“Only when industry, science and technology, and agriculture develop simultaneously can we create a better life for the people and create peace for all generations. Everything else is in vain.”

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, "We still have to work harder and move faster. We can't wait any longer."

  The treasure house in the back mountain of Baima Temple, because of the participation of professionals from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the coordination and transportation work has been accelerated a lot.

At night, Lin Yi was lying in the garden. Knowing that Gan Mao wanted to see him, he let him in directly.

 “Have you returned the money?”

Lin Yi was very happy.

 “Your Majesty.”

Gan Mao presented a note and said loudly, "The total price of gold, silver and jewelry this time is more than four million taels, I think."

Seeing that his words were off the mark, Lin Yi hurriedly interrupted, "Don't think it's useless. I don't care about the money you owed before. Can you pay back the five hundred thousand taels of silver you borrowed a few days ago?" return?"

What is the money he owes?

Did he borrow this money?

 It was clearly borrowed from the Ministry of Household Affairs!

　This world is full of people with the surname Lin!

 What does it have to do with him!

 “I’m wronged!”

Gan Mao couldn't laugh or cry.

 “You’re wronged!”

Lin Yi said angrily, "No one who owes me money has been wronged!"

“Your Majesty, the pay of officers and soldiers in some places has been delayed for two months, and it can no longer be delayed.”

Gan Mao said with a sneer, "The people from the Ministry of War block the old minister every day, and I really can't bear the trouble."

Li Lin sighed, "Damn it, am I acting like a mother?

"

 Feudal dynasty, based on small-scale peasant economy.

 Without industrial support, it is difficult for the agricultural population to feed a professional army.

 As a result, various systems of integrating military and peasantry emerged.

As for the founding emperor Lin Baozhi, he innovatively invented the guard system of integrating military and peasants, that is, the separation of military and civilian registration systems. Some people were classified as military households, and families who became military households would serve as soldiers for generations.

These military households are not only soldiers, but also farmers.

 The country does not need to pay salaries, and the military burden is relatively light.

When he was in Sanhe, he always felt that this was unreasonable. Regardless of the objections of Xie Zan, He Jixiang and others, he abolished the guard system and implemented a "recruitment system". Even an old man who cooked and cooked in the garrison had to be sent to prison. Money is given every month.

 After large-scale expansion, the number of registered soldiers in Daliang Kingdom is now 270,000!

The total expenses for grain, grass, wages, and weapons cost at least 500,000 taels per month, which is 6 million taels a year. The expenditure on the army alone is more than the annual income of the Liang Kingdom!

  There is really no place to talk about suffering.

However, fortunately, in the end, he listened to the advice of He Jixiang and others in time. Salaries could continue to be paid, but the officers and soldiers stationed on the border needed to farm their own fields and achieve self-sufficiency in food.

As for the garrison troops, such as Jizhou Panglong, it is best to raise them yourself.

Otherwise, even if you sell him, you won’t be able to find any money.

 “Your Majesty,

“Han Jin had nothing to do so he asked his old ministers for money. The Ministry of Education customized an education plan to spread three-year compulsory education to every village in Daliang.”

Gan Mao had a wry smile on his face, but he couldn’t help but feel proud in his heart!

 Deserved it!

Not only did they modify the military system without permission, they also reduced burdens and exempted them from taxes at every turn!

There is no open source, and we are still spending money everywhere. Only if the national treasury is not empty is there a ghost!

The conscience of heaven and earth!

 Ever since he and the prince entered Ankang City, he has never taken a penny from his own home!

　　　I don’t want my life!

 He and the prince had an iron plan for their lives!

 Not a penny can escape his eyes.

What's more, there are two evil gods, Mingyue and Zixia.

It is said that the cabinet also intends to establish the so-called "Audit Office" and make Zixia the first director of the Audit Office.

 When the time comes, people like them will be even worse off.

“Okay, if you don’t pay back the money, get out of here.”

Lin Yi said angrily, "Don't mess around with me in the future."

 “Old minister resigns.”

Gan Mao left in a hurry.

Now that he has money in his hand, he walks with a bit of briskness.

Sun Cheng squatted at the door and looked at his figure. When he got on the carriage, he yawned and said, "This Mr. Gan is still a little wandering despite his age."

Jiang Qiu snorted coldly, "Today the Hubu got more than four million taels of silver. Of course he is happy."

Sun Cheng said in surprise, "Did you really find the treasure?"

Jiang Qiu pursed his lips and said, "How can it be false?"

Sun Cheng was shocked and said, "More than four million pieces of silver are piled together. Isn't that glittering gold?"

Jiang Qiu said disdainfully, "It's a dead thing that has never seen the light of day. I heard from the people in the Ministry of Household Affairs that it will have to be cast again after it is carried back."

Sun Chengdao said, "That's too bad. I won't have a chance to see him."

“If I didn’t want my useless son to have a future, I wouldn’t want to be a bodyguard. I would be a servant like you, squatting every day, how nice it would be,”

Jiang Qiu sighed, "You are just not satisfied."

Sun Chengdao said, "You are talking a lot of nonsense. Even if you don't serve as a bodyguard, how can your son's future be any worse?"

I do not believe. "

"hey-hey.

"It's not like you don't know the reason why people take tea to cool it,"

After Jiang Qiu finished speaking, he looked at Sun Cheng again and said, "I heard that you are getting married. I haven't asked whose family you are from yet."

When Sun Cheng heard this, he lowered his head shyly, "You will know later."

 “What can’t be said?”

Jiang Qiu said angrily, "Tell me, maybe I even know him."

Sun Cheng looked around, then whispered, "Lao Guo's granddaughter."

 “Guo Zhao?”

Jiang Qiu didn't react for a while.

"Um."

Sun Cheng nodded honestly.

“Isn’t that girl Guo Cong?”

Jiang Qiu’s eyes widened.

Sun Cheng nodded and said, "She is his eldest girl."

Jiang Qiu said, "I never thought you could actually become a family. I've seen his girl before. She's pretty. She's quite nice."

 Have you two met your own eyes? "

Sun Cheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Huh, Old Man Guo and I know each other very well. The two old men have settled down. What can I say?"

His father, Sundu, was also a horseman in the royal palace.

The reason why his brother Sun Chongde was able to work as a groom in Prince He's Mansion was because he took over his father's position.

 “I’ve seen that girl several times,”

Jiang Qiu said with a smile, "I won't wrong you.

Whenever I do business, my brother will go and ask for a drink. "

“At the end of the month, if you want a favor, come and have a drink,”

Sun Cheng smiled and said, "When the time comes, brother, take your seat."

Jiang Qiu said, "You praise me too much. With your brother's reputation, there will definitely be a lot of people going to drink at that time. It's good for me to be able to get a place."

The Sun family can be filled with people from Yuanma Temple and Yamen alone.

 He is a little bodyguard, how can he be worthy of a seat?

Sun Cheng sighed and said, "Hey, my brother also wants me to marry a girl from the Guo family. I can't do it even if I don't agree."

“Is this Guo Zhao shaking?”

Jiang Qiu said in confusion, "I haven't heard about it."

Sun Cheng whispered, "When Prince He entered Ankang City for the first time, it was Guo Zhao who was not afraid to drive Prince He to the gate of the palace. Prince He was grateful for his kindness and always treated him well. If it weren't for his age, When they are older, they have been let out a long time ago.

This time the third son of the Guo family won the Jieyuan title in the civil service examination.

After hearing about it, the prince was very happy. Mr. Chen Desheng did a favor and directly recruited the third son Guo Li to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In front of him was Mr. Chen's secretary. Even though it was just a book office, Mr. Chen trusted him. In addition, the drafting of documents is all handled by one person, and the future is unlimited. "

 “I said so!”

Jiang Qiu patted his thigh and said, "Guo Cong has been so arrogant recently."

 Everything is explained.

 “You don’t pay attention to them,”

Sun Cheng said angrily, "If my father and my brother hadn't forced me, I would really not be happy."

"You kid, don't be born into a blessing. In my opinion, this marriage is a hit!"

Jiang Qiu couldn't help but say a Yuzhou dialect.

 Having traveled around the world for half his life, the most unforgettable thing is still his local accent.

Wang Xiaoshuan stood under a big tree next to the door of Hewang's stable. Looking at Jiang Qiu who was getting closer and closer, he threw a bag over and said, "Let's talk."

Jiang Qiu weighed the bag in his hand twice and said with a smile, "When did you become so generous?"

Wang Xiaoshuan sighed and said, "It was the imperial guard who got rich yesterday. Does he have anything to do with me?"

 Just say it directly. "

Jiang Chou repeated the news he got from Sun Cheng, and then said, "In short, the Guo family is not what it used to be. You should think twice before going against them."

 “Mother.”

Wang Xiaoshuan cursed in a low voice.

"You, since you can't settle the matter, return the money to others. Don't ruin your reputation."

Jiang Qiu reminded.

“I’m not someone to be trifled with. If Guo Cong really doesn’t give me face,”

Wang Xiaoshuan said fiercely, "I will make him look good!

Who doesn’t know one or two rich and powerful friends? "

Jiang Qiu said, "I don't care, it's up to you."

 Speaking, he put the bag in his arms and walked straight away.

Wang Xiaoshuan sighed and got on his horse.

It was a hot day and he felt sorry for the horse. He did not dare to pull the reins and let the horse go on its own.

Even if the horse lowers its head to eat grass and drink water, he has no restraint.

He jumped off the horse and lay down on the grass slope, holding horsetail grass in his mouth, closing his eyes slightly and letting the summer wind blow away the sadness in his balls.
