when will i see you again

It has been five days and nights since the refugees entered the city at night, and the officers and soldiers sent by Shen Qingjue have arrested more than 100 wounded and sick patients who escaped from the refugee camps, but more people have nowhere to be found, like disappearing into the sea. Generally slipped into every corner of Taijing City.

Since then, this city has finally taken off his bustling and lengthy coat, and the rot inside is about to leak out bit by bit to be seen by everyone. Wei Juanyun did not find any medicine, so he only gave the sick people temporary relief. Medicine, but this does not prevent the wanton spread of influenza. In the past five days, [-]% of the population in Taijing City has been infected with influenza.

The early dynasty was the same as before, the new emperor obviously knew that Taijing City had entered the refugees, and he called Lian Guanzi to the imperial study room to criticize him severely. No matter what year or month this unfavorable name is enough to impeach important officials, besides, the time is right. On the day when military pay is paid every year, the harvest in winter is not high.The disaster victims had to eat and take medicine, and those who lost their ability to move basically had to be supported by the imperial court.

Xiao Tailiang has a gloomy temper and is good at power tactics. He blindly compromises and retreats when facing the enemy. In a peaceful and prosperous age, he would be an enlightened king who strives to govern and keep his business. It's just that at this moment, he still lacks a king who can expand the territory. courage and boldness.

The new emperor was unwilling to take out the treasury, so the matter of raising money naturally fell on the heads of the officials standing next to His Highness.

"My beloved ministers, what do you think of this matter of raising money?"

Xiao Tailiang sat on the dragon chair, his face on the purple-gold dragon robe was very pale, the capital city was in a precarious state, under the sweep of the plague, would there be any eggs left?He was worried, but he was unwilling to use the foundation of the country on the sudden epidemic, so he could only hope that the ministers would raise money.

Everyone was silent, and half of the courtiers seemed to be checking their court uniforms, with their heads lowered because they did not hear the emperor's words.

Jiang Jingxiang cleared his throat, took a step to the left, and said: "I think there is no other way to raise money, why don't all the adults here work together to get him a few hundred thousand taels, which will just solve your majesty's urgent need."

There was joy in Xiao Tailiang's eyes, in fact it had always been like this, Jiang Jingxiang in the court was responsible for saying what Xiao Tailiang thought in his heart but it was not convenient for Shen Qingjue to say it directly.

Eunuch Luo glanced at Jiang Jingxiang calmly, with an inexplicable look on his face, Lord Shen Qing exhaled and raised his hand to pinch the space between his brows.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the ministers are eating the royal salary every month, and they have family members to support. If each person pays a few thousand taels, that's all. How can I raise a few hundred thousand taels of silver for refugees and to fill the national treasury? The minister and so on... can't do anything."

Shen Qingjue glanced sideways, he was a great scholar named Xu Zhe, he had a wife and children, and he was famously honest, what he said was well-founded, even Xiao Tailiang couldn't refute it, so Nearly half of the civil servants echoed.

"That's right, Your Majesty, where did I get Yu Yin from? The family is really stretched and there is no extra money."

Lian Guanzi covered his face with his sleeve and said with a sneer: "It's better to let General Jiang figure out a solution. If he can come up with such a clever plan, there must be a solution."

Jiang Jingxiang opened his mouth and was about to refute, but Shen Qingjue in front of him slowly stepped out: "Your Majesty, my humble minister, let's go."

Xiao Tailiang smiled openly, "We still have to rely on Qing Jue at the critical moment, as expected I have not been disappointed, retreat!"

Many courtiers had smiles on their lips, looking at the two generals and deputy generals gloatingly.

Shen Qingjue walked in front without saying a word, Jiang Jingxiang followed behind, while secretly annoyed at his sloppiness and Lian Guanzi's incitement.

Shen Qingjue didn't speak, Jiang Jingxiang followed her all the way, seeing her getting into the carriage, he rode behind and followed her all the way back to the General's Mansion.

The two walked to the gate of the main courtyard, and saw Lu Wantong coming out of the gate of the main courtyard, not knowing where they were going.

"General, you are back."

"Where to go?"

"The madam said she wanted to eat some dumplings, and the maidservant was about to order them down."

Shen Qingjue nodded, "I see, I'll go." After that, she changed direction and walked towards the kitchen, signaling Jiang Jingxiang to follow with her eyes.Most of the people in the kitchen recognized Shen Qingjue, they were shocked and quickly gave up an empty room for the two of them.

Shen Qingjue rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands carefully, scooped up flour and water in a basin and began to knead.Jiang Jingxiang was also busy following behind her, washing his hands and rolling up his sleeves to help.The two generals huddled in the small kitchen and fumbled.

Jiang Jingxiang looked at Shen Qingjue's calm face, but focused on the unreconciled dough in his hands, as if the turmoil in the court this morning hadn't affected her in the slightest.

"General, you really look like a woman right now!"

Shen Qingjue raised his eyes and glared at him, then continued with the movement of his hands.

The muddy dough was thick and thin, and it gradually became obedient under the fingering of her ten fingers. The flour and water were mixed together and gradually formed. Shen Qingjue did not stop, like a blacksmith and a carpenter chopping wood, as if this was her own nature. point.Jiang Jingxiang frowned, slowly thinking about the matter between his general and this lady in his mind.

From his sister-in-law in the military camp to now his general rushed to the kitchen to cook after hearing what this lady said, he had no choice but to believe it.Shen Qingjue's half-truth and half-fake jokes in the military camp last time had left him stunned, but now that she figured it out, the shock in her heart dissipated, replaced by boundless worry.

"General, you and Madam...?" Jiang Jingxiang thought for a while, and finally asked tentatively.

"As you can see." Shen Qingjue looked up at her, lowered his head and smiled, put the reconciled dough on the wooden board, and cut it into pieces with a kitchen knife.

"General, with all due respect, it's not a long-term solution for you to be with your wife. The old lady wants you to get married, and the brothers don't want to see you fail to find a wife with our group of old men. You are going to get married after all."

Shen Qingjue didn't seem to be able to hear, took a rolling pin and began to roll out the dumpling skins, Jiang Jingxiang also picked up a ball of dough and rolled out the dough with her.

"General, the ancient saying that a hero deserves a beauty is that you are a hero and your wife is a beauty. Last time I thought about it, I thought you were joking with me. That's why I didn't think twice. I didn't expect you to be moved now."

"It's unreasonable for my concubine to want me to marry someone else. Even if our rules are like this, I will respect her because she is a mother, but I will never agree to this alone. Let me tell you, yes Treat you as a brother, and want you to bless me."

Shen Qingjue rolled out the skin, put the stuffing on the skin with chopsticks, and wrapped it together with Jiang Jingxiang.

"What the general does is something that no woman has ever done before. I admire it." Hearing what she said, Jiang Jingxiang could only frowned and sighed secretly.

"In the afternoon, you go to the two largest ticket offices in the city, and they say that there are 300 million taels of imperial silver to deposit, and you just say it's what I mean, and see which of these two houses sell Ligao, and you can push it up. When they feel that the profit you want is too high and they want to keep you, they will naturally show you their account books."

Shen Qingjue pressed his eyebrows into a half-smile, Jiang Jingxiang thought for a moment and suddenly realized, he gave Shen Qingjue a thumbs up.

When Shen Qingjue was making dumplings earlier, Jiang Jingxiang had already boiled the water, and now the dumplings are already cooked.

"Okay, I'm leaving, you can eat whatever you want, and come back and report to me after you have done something in the afternoon." Shen Qingjue scooped up the dumplings and put them in the food box, and waved his hand at him.

These days when the Wuwang Building was not completed, Xie Bingyuan was very free in the mansion. Even though her figure and physique remained the same, she still wondered from time to time whether she was getting fatter than before.Apart from reading and playing chess, she goes out to look at flowers and plants every day, which makes her feel flustered leisurely.

Shen Qingjue put the food box on the table, changed into a woman's plain clothes and came out, just in time to see Xie Bingyuan, who was wearing the same plain clothes, coming out of the study.

"It's a bit late to come back today?" Xie Bingyuan saw her and smiled.

Shen Qingjue looked her up and down, always felt that she couldn't wear the same clothes as Xie Bingyuan, otherwise she would definitely be compared, "Well, I have something to do today, aren't you hungry? Let's eat together."

Xie Bingyuan also met her gaze and looked her up and down in women's clothing.

"Are you going out later?" Xie Bingyuan asked her.A few days ago, Shen Qingjue always led the team to control the disaster, he was not at the mansion in the afternoon, and he returned very late at night, so Xie Bingyuan thought that she would go out soon.

"No, I will stay with you at home today."

Lifting the lid of the food box, the steam was steaming, and the exquisite dumplings were placed on the blue and white porcelain plate, which made people's appetite greatly increased at a glance. Xie Bingyuan's eyes jumped, as if she was quite satisfied with the shape of the dumplings.

Shen Qingjue was secretly proud of himself.

Xie Bingyuan glanced at her, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat quietly. During this process, Shen Qingjue did not blink, and stared at Xie Bingyuan, paying attention to every subtle expression of her expression.

"This dumpling is delicious, the skin is thin and juicy, I wonder which famous chef made it?" She swallowed a dumpling, her peach blossom eyes curled up, and she looked at Shen Qingjue with a smile.

Shen Qingjue was complacent, "It was done by me."

The two looked at each other for a moment and laughed together.

Walking along the downtown East Street of Taijing City for a mile, you will arrive at Tianfuzhuang, one of the two major banks in the city. There are two stone lions nesting at the gate of the bank. Roll in" four characters.

"True style" Shen Ruoguang, who was behind Jiang Jingxiang and pretended to be his attendant, looked at the tall and wealthy and whispered something.

Jiang Jingxiang was wearing a second-grade court uniform and riding a tall horse. He was already burly with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but now he was followed by a long row of cavalry, which was even more imposing. , has long been reminded by the servants to come to the door to greet him.

The Mu Dynasty had a clear hierarchy, and the status of the merchants was low. Jiang Jingxiang was not polite at all. After entering the door, he directly sat in the north guest seat in the room, while the owner of the bank sat in the west guest seat with a smile.

Jiang Jingxiang tilted his head, fiddled with the tea served with a little disgust, "Your tea is not good, it's clearly tea dregs, and the boss dares to give it to you?"

The face of the owner of the bank changed drastically, "Come here, change the tea!"

Jiang Jingxiang frowned, raised his legs and stretched his voice, "Oh, no need, I have something important to do, and I don't have time to wait for you to serve another cup of tea. I'm here today to talk to the boss about a business deal, and now I have a royal court payment." I want to put it here with you, I wonder if the boss is interested?"

The owner of the bank rolled his eyes. The businessman's shrewd mind had already made him understand the powerful relationship. The person in front of him was either rich or noble. He might be a high-ranking official that he couldn't get in touch with, and this person was clearly a substitute. As an errand runner, the status of the rightful owner might scare him to death.It doesn't matter how much deposit he can get, the important thing is to catch the line in front of him, his bank has both money and power, so he can sit back and relax.

"My lord, I naturally agree, but I just don't know how many silver taels are there?"

Jiang Jingxiang stroked his cuffs, seemingly casually: "300 million taels of silver."

When the owner of the bank heard this, he gritted his teeth and said without hesitation, "Bali."

Shen Ruoguang looked surprised, this boss is so generous, he really has courage.

Jiang Jingxiang's complexion changed drastically, and he looked a little angry, "I discussed with the boss sincerely, but I didn't expect the boss to use such a small amount of money to fool people. It seems that I, Jiang Jingxiang, can't be tolerated here. Let's discuss the matter of depositing the bank at another time."

After finishing speaking, he got up and went out, without any regrets, he got on his horse and left like a gust of wind.

When the owner of the bank heard his name, he already understood that the person who really wanted to deposit silver with him was Shen Qingjue. He picked up his long gown and chased after him, shouting, "Master Jun, eight per cent is the highest interest here for a villain, Mr. Jun." Hold on, my lord!"

However, even the ashes raised by Jiang Jingxiang's horseshoe threw him a glance, and he didn't catch up to Jiang Jingxiang, so he had to ask the housekeeper to bring a few clever followers to follow him. After a while, he got the news that Jiang Jingxiang went to Shanhaizhuang, another Dayinzhuang.

"Master, what's the matter?" the butler said with a worried face.

"What's the matter? Since Jiang Jingxiang is here, the person who really wants to save money must be General Shen. You go to the General Shen's mansion immediately to pay a visit, and to show your sincerity, bring our account book to the general and let the general see it. Other adults The highest amount of silver deposits in our village is only seven per cent, and eight per cent is indeed the highest profit, if the general is still not satisfied, then... it’s okay to mention a cent.”

The housekeeper seemed to have seen a ghost, "One point?!"

The owner of the bank looked disgusted, "What do you know? With the line of General Shen, Taijing City will only be in charge of our bank in a few years. Now that the epidemic is rampant, it is useless to guard the broken money? If Shanhaizhuang is set up On the line of General Shen, you and I will be unlucky sooner or later, he is like a fairy in the nine heavens to us, who is he? Don't play tricks, just show your sincerity."

Jiang Jingxiang followed the same pattern and went to Shanhaizhuang, as expected, Shanhaizhuang and Tianfuzhuang reacted the same, fearing that the other party would jump on Shen Qingjue's towering tree first.

After noon, Shen Qingjue took Xie Bingyuan to play chess in the room. The black and white pieces were lingering and fierce, and they were inseparable. , the black chess suffered a crushing defeat, Shen Qingjue conceded defeat, making Xie Bingyuan cover her face and smile.

Jiang Jingxiang pushed the door and entered, holding two notebooks in his hand, he seemed to have something to say, but seeing the two of them, he, a big man, still turned his face away strangely.

Xie Bingyuan was about to get up to avoid it, but Shen Qingjue grabbed his hand and signaled that it was okay, Xie Bingyuan had no choice but to sit on the side of the chessboard again.

"This is the account book of Tianfuzhuang and Shanhaizhuang. I don't know if it's true or not. Take a look."

Shen Qingjue stopped her playful expression, took over the ledger and read it carefully, before she finished flipping through it, her complexion visibly sank.

"A fourth-rank official, with a reputation of incorruptibility, has deposited 3 taels of silver in Tianfuzhuang. I have scanned these two books, and there are at least a dozen courtiers. The total is almost 50. In case of two thousand, it's really amazing!"

"It's really hard to judge people by their appearances. These officials are actually richer than me, a general."

Xie Bingyuan shook her hand, and Shen Qingjue's expression calmed down.

"Tomorrow morning, you will go to the two banks with your soldiers and confiscate all the silver from these officials in the name of false accounts."

The next morning, Jiang Jingxiang arrived late, and secretly nodded to Shen Qingjue.

"Aiqing, do you have any idea about raising money?" Jiang Jingxiang stared at Xiao Tailiang from bottom to top, he didn't believe that Xiao Tailiang didn't know that raising money was not easy, but he still urged his general in public.

"Returning to Your Majesty, you also know that all the adults in the court have nothing to spare, and Qing Jue can't afford much money for a while. The so-called raising money is really a big problem." Shen Qingjue held the wat board and came out. Lie spoke with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye.

Xu Zhe lowered his head and sneered, he was the one Lian Guanzi pulled up with one hand, and he had always been at odds with Shen Qingjue, he lowered his head, and there was already a look of gloating on his face.

Shen Qingjue changed the subject, "It's just that I accidentally got the ledgers of the two big banks in Taijing City yesterday, and after looking it up, I found that someone falsified the accounts and deposited money in the two banks in the names of many adults here. Here, I thought that these accounts were made by the bankers when they made a mistake in registration, but when I saw Master Xu Zhexu's name was also on this account book, I knew that someone had deliberately planted and framed them. Execution! Thinking about how these dozen or so adults would commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, I have already confiscated all these unknown silver coins this morning, a total of 44 taels of silver, for this disaster relief and epidemic prevention.”

As soon as the words fell, the hall was completely silent.

Xu Zhe's throat was sweet.

Several civil servants who kept all their belongings in the bank were trembling, and two of them couldn't even hold the wat board. The jade board fell on the white marble floor, and the sound of collision was clear and audible.

Xiao Tailiang's face was ashen, after hearing Shen Qingjue's words, he already understood that many of the courtiers he raised had saved money of unknown origin, and now these money had all gone into Shen Qingjue's hands.

"Aiqing has worked hard and made great achievements. I have to work. I have nothing else to do today. Let's retire."

More than a dozen people in the palace went bankrupt overnight, and once the hard-earned taels of silver fell into Shen Qingjue's hands, they still had to laugh along with him: "The general is really a good planner, and his intentions are sinister. The general's move is really satisfying!"

Shen Qingjue laughed it off, "It's just my duty as a minister."

The author has something to say: emmmmm, overhead, please detour for historical Taoists.

In fact, this is a true allusion of a historical figure. I sometimes feel that the people at that time are really stupid from the perspective of God from the outside, but I feel that if I am really in the game, I must not survive a quarter of an hour.

emmmmm, late, roll and bow.

I've been too lethargic lately. I went to bed at [-] o'clock last night and got up at [-] o'clock today. It's terrible.

With the bleeding buff, I said weakly,

My wife is sick recently, and I am taking care of her, so there will inevitably be delays in the update, okay!
