Chapter 167 Do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?

Yang Shou has recovered a little in the past few days. He has been left behind too much work, so he seems very busy. Although he is on the road, he still works non-stop.

Although Yang Shou had character problems, he was not completely lazy in politics. On the contrary, he had to do a lot of things himself because he was too paranoid. Therefore, every time he walked, the emperor would stop and call ministers for a meeting.

There is also a court meeting every morning.

All the ministers from three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons would go to court. They would stand in the middle of the road and report to him. Not a single thing was left unanswered regarding the deployment of troops and generals, the supply of grain and grass, the appointment and dismissal of officials, financial expenditures, and the construction of infrastructure.

Their group, including soldiers and ministers, concubines, concubines and husbands, totaled almost 50,000 people. There were 3,000 luxurious carriages alone. They were wearing golden armor and red helmets and spears. They were the glorious Xiaoguo Army in the prosperous age.

, holding the guard, thousands of horses galloping, and flags everywhere, it is extremely spectacular.

The food supply was provided by the local officials within a hundred miles along the way. Because Yang Shou often traveled between the two capitals, these local officials all knew Yang Shou's temper, so they rushed to flatter him, spending huge sums of money and dedicating exquisite food.

and beauties.

At first, Qin Hu was wondering why the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army were eating so well, like a state banquet, but later he realized that this was what happened.

Under this situation, the amount of money consumed every day was an astronomical amount, and Qin Hu did not believe that those officials would pay for it themselves.

And if it is reimbursed by local finance, it is even more impossible, because the local finance reserves of the Yu Dynasty are very small, and basically more than 90% has to be turned over to the national treasury. Sometimes the money for disaster relief and banditry has to be paid by the court.

Local exploitation occurs, and various counties support each other.

And there are always expenses in the local government. In the end, let alone the rest, it is a good thing if he does not borrow money, so the money can only be squeezed from the people.

As for those valuable foods, many times before they are finished, a new wave is delivered, so the ones that cannot be eaten are thrown away or buried on the spot, but they are not left to the victims of the disaster.

How could someone as smart as Yang Shou not know about these situations?

Not only did he ignore it, he actually encouraged this trend. For example, in the past few days, several prefects and county magistrates have been dismissed or beheaded because the food they contributed was not adequate or not delicious.

Yang Zhiji, the prefect of Hongnong, made great contributions in putting down Yang Xuangan's rebellion. However, because the food he sent was not to the taste of the Xiaoguo army, Sima Dekan gave him a memorial and was dismissed from his post on the spot.

Yesterday Qin Hu also talked to Sima Dekan. He saw tens of thousands of Xiaoguo troops galloping across the fields, trampling many crops along the way. He felt that he should restrain his subordinates, but Sima Dekan ignored him at all.

Him, tell him it's none of your business here, just go and stay where you can.

After finishing the work, he gave Qin Hu a copy, saying that it was affecting his normal work. He also said that his subordinates trampled on the farmland because they were afraid of assassins there. He said that Qin Hu didn't understand anything and was not suitable to stay in the Xiaoguo Army.

Qin Hu just took Yang Shou's pulse. Yang Shou didn't say anything to him. He just told him that he should learn more from his old comrades. Work experience needs to be accumulated. I know you are capable, but young people should be more modest.

That's great. If you raise your tail so high, you'll offend everyone and make it difficult to do your job.

Qin Hu almost ran out of breath and vomited blood.

"Your Majesty, your body has almost recovered. Weichen thinks you will be fully recovered when you return to Shangjing. Weichen will prescribe some more medicine for you."

"Little tiger, you are a talent. I didn't expect you to know medical skills. From now on, I won't listen to people outside talking nonsense. But you are such a rebellious person and you still have to change. Sima Dekan is still so old no matter what.

, there is no need to keep arguing with him, he will retire in two years, you can use it."

Qin Hu held back his anger and apologized: "Yes, the emperor said that Wei Chen should go back and apologize to the old general. Wei Chen was wrong."

At this moment, Meng Qi got on the car and said: "To inform the Emperor, the Queen has sent someone to say that her back hurts. She asked the young Marquis to come over and have a look. She said to ask the young Marquis if he is willing to go? If he really doesn't want to go,

If you’re willing to forget it.”

"What are these words?" Yang Shou couldn't laugh or cry: "Qin Hu, how did you offend the queen? Are you going to die?"

"Wei Chen doesn't know either. Wei Chen is wondering if it was the princess who caused the trouble. She was not willing to marry me in the first place and she might have gone through the Queen's back door. Otherwise, forget it. I can't afford to offend the Queen.

"

"No, no, no." Yang Shou laughed loudly: "That's also possible. They have a good relationship. Don't worry about it. I'll tell the queen later. I'm not telling you. You are really not smart sometimes. Just take a picture if you offend others.

You don’t even know how to flatter me, so go ahead and speak nicely to the queen when you see her, try to have a good attitude, and I’ll take care of the rest for you.”

"Yes, Wei Chen is gone!" Qin Hu said with a mournful face.

"Why is this the same as the execution ground? It's not like that. She won't do anything to you. Go ahead." Yang Shou said to Meng Qi: "You go with me and tell the queen that the little tiger is my confidant. Understand

Well."

"I understand." Meng Qi also smiled.

Qin Hu knew that Xiao Meiniang did this on purpose. She had a guilty conscience and was afraid that Yang Shou would see her stealing people, so she kept using such trivial tricks.

Xiao Meiniang's car was actually closely followed by Yang Shou's Long Chu. They got off the car and walked more than a hundred steps before getting into Xiao Meiniang's car again. Meng Qi went in and Qin Hu was kneeling outside.

After a while, Meng Qi came out and said with a smile: "Master Hou, I have already agreed to ensure that you are fine, but you still have to be more careful yourself. That master, his face is really ugly. Even the old slave

They are all scared, come on, I have to withdraw, you can face the strong wind by yourself."

Meng Qi gloated and left, and Qin Hu hurried in.

"Little sweetheart, I miss my sister so much, come here and let me kiss you!" Xiao Meiniang held up the curtain and watched Meng Qi leave. After making sure that she was surrounded by her people, she boldly came over and took Qin Hu's hand.

.

Her car was fifteen steps long and wide, and contained a large bed, a large chair, two rows of bookshelves, and a Boshan stove. It still seemed very spacious.

"Are you crazy!" Qin Hu was so frightened that he almost screamed.

"What are you afraid of? Now is the safest time. I have invited you to see a doctor openly. What, you want to burn down the bridge? Sister, I have to pull out the nail for you for nothing?" Xiao Meiniang coquettishly scolded Qin Hu with her red lips.

He clicked on his mouth and made a soft pop sound.

"Be good to me and make me happy. I have even pulled out the nail of Sima Dekan for you. Otherwise, I can lift you up, but I can also make you fall off the altar!" Xiao Meiniang tried her best.

He pinched Qin Hu's thigh.

"I was wrong, I will listen to you, empress."
