Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Xia Houqi was a little dissatisfied when he saw the way the soldiers looked at Nan Xi.

This was his future wife, how could they let them look at her like this?

"Let's go to the tent."

As Xia Houqi said this, he led Nan Xi towards his tent.

Nan Xi glanced at him playfully, knowing what he was thinking, and couldn't help but curl her lips:
"What? I have embarrassed you?"

"How could it be so? It's just that I don't like the sight of them falling on you. Can Di Ji understand my feelings?"

Xia Houqi took the initiative to show weakness, but it had unexpected results.

"In that case, I feel sorry for you and will accompany you back to the camp."

Then Xia Houqi and Nan Xi walked into the camp together in full view of everyone, and then lowered the curtain of the tent to completely isolate themselves from the sounds outside. There were expressions of regret on the faces of the soldiers.

"It seems that there are indeed no women in this camp, otherwise your soldiers would not stare at a woman when they see one." Nan Xi couldn't help but joked.

"Obviously it is the Emperor Ji who is so beautiful that she is so eye-catching. It is not that the family members of the soldiers have not come to visit before, and they are so fascinated." Xia Houqi's words had a sour taste.

Hearing this, Nan Xi couldn't help laughing, "I was born with such a face, I can't let it be ruined, right?"

"That's not necessary. It's fine if Young Master Di Ji appears in front of them. They just want to take a look and don't dare to do anything overstepping."

Xia Houqi couldn't help but smile. What a pity it would be to destroy such a beautiful face, but it must be well protected.

"I can't do that. I'm here to inspect the military camp. How can I check if I don't show up?"

"Just leave these things to the king. Di Ji only needs to stay in the camp, and someone will bring food to her every day."

"Do you want to imprison me?"

"How dare you, Your Highness?"

Nan Xi glanced at him from top to bottom, and then snorted, "Bring me the account books related to the military camp expenses in the past two years for my review."

"Are you serious?" Xia Houqi raised his eyebrows.

"Otherwise?" Nan Xi also raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of charm.

"I thought Di Ji came here specifically for me, and the inspection was just an excuse." Xia Houqi shook his head with great regret.

"Your Majesty, you think too highly of yourself. Seeing that you are true and the inspection is true, hurry up and bring the account books. Don't even think about making false accounts. I can see the flaws with my sharp eyes." Nan Xi couldn't help but remind her.

Xia Houqi laughed and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem with the accounts of this military camp. This king doesn't look down on such a small amount of money, so it won't lead to corruption."

"That's the best."

After chatting for a while, Xia Houqi asked someone to bring over the ledger. The military camp's ledger was very simple. Part of it was living expenses, and the other part was combat preparation expenses. The classification of the accounts was very simple, but the numbers were not simple at all.

"How many soldiers are there in this military camp?" Nan Xi raised her eyes and asked.

"fifty thousand."

"How many generals are there?"

"Fifty."

"That means one officer is in charge of about five hundred soldiers, right?"

"The apportionment is about this amount, the difference is not big." "Do the soldiers have other income besides the monthly silver they receive every month?" Nan Xi asked again.

"No."

Hearing this, Nan Xi couldn't help but frown. With only Yueyin and no other income, would it be enough for their daily expenses?
"Has the prince asked the soldiers if the moon silver is enough?"

Nan Xi Ke asked Xia Houqi to ask this question. He had really never paid attention to this issue before.

"It should be enough. After all, food and accommodation are all included in the military, so soldiers don't have any extra expenses."

"Most of the soldiers in the army are in their prime. They should be the mainstay of the family, right?"

"That's right."

"Since they are the breadwinner of the family, how will the family's expenses be met if they join the army?"

"This"

After seeing Nan Xi's questions, Xia Houqi realized how negligent he had been before, not even thinking about this aspect.

And Nan Xi's thinking was also very simple. Ancient times were no better than modern times, and there was not much livelihood. Most poor families relied on their sons in their prime to support their families. So if the only strong man in the family became a soldier, wouldn't the family have no financial resources?

Nan Xi knew the answer when she saw Xia Houqi fell silent.

"I took a look, and there's nothing wrong with the accounts. It's just that there should be something added in the distribution of moon silver. In addition to the basic moon silver, every soldier can get it. Every soldier sent out on a mission should be rewarded. , the soldiers under each general are responsible for different areas, so there is no competition for merit, and it should be easier to implement."

"Well, I think it's feasible. I just need to inform His Majesty."

"No need. I will personally explain this matter to my father when I return, and then draw up a detailed rule, which will be distributed to the military camp soon for every soldier to circulate. This can also increase the enthusiasm of the soldiers." Nan Xi The decision was made directly.

Seeing Nan Xi's resolute look, Xia Houqi was a little distracted. He saw the shadow of His Majesty in her body. The decisiveness in making the decision was exactly the same as His Majesty. It was true that the father of a tiger has no dog.

Nan Xi was waiting for Xia Houqi's response, but she saw him looking lost in thought. Nan Xi glared at him with some dissatisfaction:
"I am talking to you, do you hear me?"

"I heard it. The result of Di Ji's careful consideration is naturally good. I have no objection."

"Okay, I've passed the audit. Now take me to see your food. Most of the military expenses are in the food. If the food is poor, I won't forget about it."

"Yes, your Royal Highness, I will take you to see it now."

Arriving at the kitchen, Nan Xi saw that the cooks here were all doing what they were supposed to do in an orderly manner, and the environment was quite hygienic.

It’s just this dish——

"What's for lunch?" Nan Xi asked calmly.

The chef heard this and quickly responded:
"Back to Di Ji, lunch usually consists of one meat dish, one vegetable dish and one soup. The meat dish is stewed chicken, the vegetarian dish is stir-fried radish and cabbage, and the soup is fish soup."

When Nan Xi heard this, she frowned slightly. The food was not bad, but——

"How much is left over from each meal?"

Generally, cooking is not done just right, either too little or too much. Generally, it is better to have too much left over than to make the soldiers not full.

"Back to Di Ji, our military camp has always advocated frugality. There is almost no surplus. Even if there is any, it will be included in the next meal." The chef said with a smile.

Hearing this, Nan Xi was very surprised. Then she looked at Xia Houqi and saw the proud look on his face.

It seems to be saying that this is all his credit, why don't you praise him a few words!
