Empress work daily

Chapter 137 Site Selection
In mid-April, the warm breeze is unknowingly mixed with a hint of heat.

The large sums of money confiscated from Prince Yong's Mansion went into the treasury one by one. This time, it went into the treasury.

When Tang Chongjian got the news, he straightened his back in an instant, and strode out of the door of the household department with his head held high.

On the way to Yangyuan Hall, the same question kept popping up in Tang Chongjian's mind. How did His Majesty figure it out?
Why did he suddenly give alms to him, who was despised by many people?

His eyes were full of joy, and he walked away like a happy spring breeze.

Approaching the Hall of Yangyuan, Tang Chongjian restrained his joy slightly, and after entering, he found that Xia Qiongju was also there.

Is there any movement in northern Xinjiang?

Sure enough, only Xia Qiongju reported: "According to the plan, the army can return triumphantly in three days."

It turned out that the Xuanjia army was about to return in triumph!Tang Chongjian was overjoyed when he heard this.

The joy on Ji Qiang's face was also visible, and he repeatedly asked Xia Qiongju to make arrangements for the army's triumphant return.In addition, she has decided to go out of the city to meet her in person.

This requires the support of the Ministry of Finance.

Tang Chongjian's eyebrows twitched, let him spend the money before it was put into the treasury?Does your Majesty really want to empty out the household department and set him up on the "fire" when it's over?

In front of Xia Qiongju, Ji Qiang handed over to Tang Chongjian the list of belongings copied from the Yongwang Mansion this time. The type and amount of the property on it not only made his eyebrows and eyes twitch wildly, but his heartbeat also intensified to the point of shortness of breath. the point.

There was too much money, and he had to take it easy.

"Your Majesty really intends to put this money into the treasury?"

Tang Chongjian couldn't believe it, and confirmed it again and again.

Seeing that the old Shangshu had been "tortured" recently, Ji Qiang forgave him for being dim-witted, and patiently gave an affirmative answer again.

Afterwards, he promised Ji Qiang that he would make a beautiful ceremony for the triumphant return of the soldiers.

After Tang Chongjian left, Ji Qiang continued to discuss military matters with Xia Qiongju.Since the five armies of Xuanjia merged into three armies, only three of the original four battalions in southeast, northwest, and south were used, and the South Camp was vacant. Ji Qiang decided to change the South Camp to Ma Yuan, which belonged to Taipu Temple.

Xia Qiongju thought about it and felt that it was feasible.

In the battle between Wuling County King and Beirong Youting King Uge Maoer, a large number of spoils were seized, including two thousand horses.When Xia Qiongju heard this number for the first time, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep at night. Two thousand sturdy horses are so rare for Daliang, where cavalry is scarce.

With these two thousand good horses as stallions, within five years, there will be a cavalry force of ten thousand in Daliang. At that time, the famous cavalry battalion will really exist.

After talking about the plan of the South Camp, the monarch and his ministers went on to talk about the other three camps. Now each camp is full of people. If the army is to be expanded, the barracks need to be rebuilt. However, Xia Qiongju has not yet determined the location of the new barracks.

For such a big event, he naturally wants to listen to the king's thoughts first.

Ji Qiang has also been thinking about this question recently.

"I thought that Xinying needed to move north."

Xia Qiongju didn't quite understand how "north" Ji Qiang said was "north".

Ji Qiang pointed to Kanyu and said, "How about Yingchuan County?"

Xia Qiongju stared carefully at Yingchuan County, which belongs to Yuzhou, borders Haojing in the east, Jizhou in the north, and Yongzhou in the northwest.

Combined with the current situation, a new barracks will be built in Yingchuan County, with an excellent location.

First of all, it is only more than 200 miles away from Haojing, which is a short distance. The most important thing is that it is connected to Jizhou and Yongzhou. Once a war breaks out in the northern border of the two states, the army can immediately go north to support.In this way, the Gyeonggi heavy army also has room to breathe.

Xia Qiongju was once again deeply amazed by Ji Qiang's gaze, and finally couldn't help asking this time: "I have the courage to ask, did King Xia and His Majesty teach you many military tactics?"

"Not really, it's just a military book that ordinary children can read. However, my father didn't pay too much attention to theory. He often taught me the art of war and paid more attention to actual combat." In addition to riding and shooting, I prefer to form troops with the palace people, and I have accumulated a lot of experience over time."

Ji Qiang downplayed it, but Xia Qiongju's heart was surging when he heard it.His Majesty is not only intelligent and diligent, but more importantly, he is excellent in ninjutsu, which is beyond the tolerance of ordinary people.Thinking that she began to endure the boring life when she was ten years old, and it lasted for four years. Xia Qiongju thought to herself that at his age, she might not be able to do it.

"Uncle, do you have any other questions?"

Xia Qiongju was so startled by the sudden "uncle" that she shook her head repeatedly, and immediately continued to get down to business.

The location of the new barracks was determined in this way.

……

From the next day, the city of Haojing was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the decoration was even more grand and lively than that of the Shangyuan Festival.

As soon as the news of the army's triumphant return came out, Shen Wanjiu immediately kept a close eye on the movement in the court. Knowing that on the day of the army's triumphant return, His Majesty would go out of the city to greet him personally, Shen Wanjiu made a special trip to wait for Tang Chongjian outside the Liubu Yamen.

He is a "loyal man" proclaimed by His Majesty, such a grand moment that requires money, how can Shen Wanjiu be missing.However, to Shen Wanjiu's surprise, Mr. Hubu Tang didn't even glance at the white snowflake silver.

For the first time in his life, Shen Wanjiu gave money to express a sense of heartbreak.

After calming down, I felt a chill running down my back.It must be that His Majesty has disgusted him. The last time His Majesty raised money from him in person, he was afraid that His Majesty would wipe out his family's wealth, so he made a wrong decision in panic and cried poorly.

When Director Shang returned the 100 million taels, he realized what a big mistake he had made. When His Majesty was in dire straits, he actually cried poorly to His Majesty!
My brain must have been flooded at the time!
Therefore, when Shen Wanjiu heard that the three armies were about to return triumphantly, and that the whole capital would decorate with lights and festoons to welcome the returning heroes, he suddenly smelled a hint of "redemption".

The problem is, his money cannot be sent out.

Just as Shen Wanjiu was standing near the Liubu yamen, scratching his head, a female voice suddenly came from behind him, "Hey! Isn't this Boss Shen?"

Shen Wanjiu turned her head and saw that she was Yin Buli, the daughter of Yin Qilei, the Imperial Envoy.

This young lady is extraordinary, not because her father is an imperial envoy who is well-known in the government and the public. Shen Wanjiu has seen it with his own eyes. The last time he rescued the victims, how this young lady raised relief supplies and how she manipulated people's hearts .

In addition, this Miss Yin, like her father, has a hobby - watching street scenes.

He often stands on the street to observe people coming and going, and even records interesting people and things in a small notebook when he sees them. Shen Wanjiu has seen it with his own eyes several times.

"I've met Miss Yin!" Shen Wanjiu bowed his hands politely to the other party.

"Boss Shen is polite, I don't know what you are doing here?"

While speaking, Yin Buli glanced at the Shen family's carriage. There were two large boxes on it, which were very eye-catching.

"There's something... Shen has something to do." Shen Wanjiu looked embarrassed, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, intending to prevaricate.

Yin Buli refused to let it go, and expressed his embarrassment without hesitation.

"Have you sent the silver?"

Shen Wanjiu: "..."
