Meng Hui couldn't help laughing out loud: "Since Your Majesty said so, even if the concubine eats less and wears less, she must find a way to support these old soldiers."

  "Is such a useless man? Need my queen to cut down on her clothes and food to ensure the cost of the treasury?"

  In Menghui's eyes, there was an inevitable look of admiration: "No! Your Majesty is the greatest person in this world!"

  The county magistrate's mansion in Chang'an City was full of high-ranking officials.

  The emperor Su Wen held a cup of tea, and Xiao He, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, recounted what happened today in an orderly manner, and by the way, made the emperor's meaning very clear.

  "According to the current prices of Xianyang City and Chang'an City, the monthly salary of an ordinary soldier is one thousand dollars, which is equivalent to one tael of silver.

  The monthly salary of the Imperial Army was five taels of silver, and the monthly salary of Bai Qi’s general Tu Jun, was ten taels of silver.

  But how much monthly salary is the most suitable for these retired veterans? "Meng Tian cupped his hands and said, and looked at the emperor.

  Su Wen gently put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the many officials of the Ministry of War, and said slowly: "The general said that an ordinary soldier's monthly salary is one tael of silver, and the monthly salary of a forbidden army is five tael, so I am very curious.

  The money went to ordinary soldiers, how much is left? "

  The faces of everyone changed slightly, and the queen added tea to the emperor on the side.

  "Lou Jing, go check it out, check it slowly, check it carefully!".

Chapter 811

  "Here!"

  Lou Jing surrendered and took orders. After he left the palace, his expression became a little bitter. It can be said that since he replaced Sima Xin in charge of Jinyiwei, although it is said to be infinitely beautiful, he promises the world, only the emperor is alone. However, only he himself knows how many people he will offend.

  Above the court of Nuoda, half of the officials of the Sixth Division lost their heads because of his words, and half of the entire bureaucratic family in Guanzhong was destroyed because of him.

  This time, things in the army are handed over to him to investigate, and this place in the middle of the gate is probably going to be a bloody storm again.

  Bloody Tu Loujing...

  He thought for a while, then smiled bitterly, I am a scholar, can the matter of a scholar be called bloody massacre?

  Lao Tzu is the guardian of Da Qin!

  Jinyiwei's acting commander - Lou Jing!

  Even if it is the agent and the guardian, it is still my Daqin!

  In the government office, Su Wen took another sip of clear tea. Many officials in the following Ministry of War were not sure what the emperor meant, so many people subconsciously looked at the Minister of War and the Minister of War in the forefront.

  The Minister of War was the ruler of the dynasty, and his power was monstrous.

  The Minister of War was the emperor's favorite and most favored generals. I am afraid that only these two people could make the emperor quell his anger.

  "Most of the old soldiers who came down from the battlefield have a hard life. The minister suggested that it is better to use five hundred money as a monthly living sustenance?"

  Finally, when the emperor drank the third pot of tea, Meng Tianan couldn't bear his temper and said, as for Bai Qi, he felt that this guy might have fallen asleep standing up...

  It doesn't take what is being discussed at all.

  After all, Ren Tu Jun has money... Everyone is fat and oily, and everyone is too rich, so they don't have to worry about pensions at all.

  The emperor slowly swallowed the tea in his mouth, thought for a while, and then said: "Previously, Xiao He, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, said that an ordinary person in Chang'an City would only need twenty money if he wanted to not starve to death and be full for a month. 々". "

  Su Wen looked at Xiao He: "What do you eat?"

  "Noodles, corn porridge." Xiao He cupped his hands and said: "These are also the two most important staple foods for my people in Daqin, but they are only necessary for life, and they will not starve to death.

  But if you count the need to buy new clothes every season, plus the veterans can also exchange some wine money, renting a house that is not leaking and airtight is definitely not enough. "

  "So, when you give out twenty bucks, you're actually letting these old men sleep in bridges, culverts, and shacks?"

  Xiao He said: "That's it."

  Su Wen sighed: "What about what the general said?"

  "The minister said that five cents a month is enough for renting an ordinary residential house, and five hundred dollars is given. Apart from considering that the people below will loot layer by layer, in the hands of these old guards, as long as they can have one Hundreds of dollars are enough for them to take care of their lives."

  "It's still the general who is thoughtful." Su Wen suddenly felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness in his heart. Even Meng Tian felt that the money would be deducted by [-] yuan when he got to the bottom. .

  "Who manages the money?"

  "Your Majesty Qi Zou, it is the Ministry of Personnel." At this time, Bai Qi suddenly folded his hands and said, "Since the new policy of my regime, all money has been handled by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Households."

  "Then if you let the people from the Ministry of War do it yourself, can you do it well?" Su Wen asked deeply.

  Meng Tian's expression changed, and then he cupped his hands and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your trust. In Neishi County, if the monthly salary of [-] yuan is paid to each veteran, Meng Tian is willing to kill him if he loses a penny!"

  Su Wen squinted his eyes and looked at Meng Tian subconsciously, as well as the many military officials behind him. Only then did he understand that these guys were obviously asking him for financial power.

  It's just that this will give the Ministry of War financial power, and then I am afraid that the Ministry of Industry will come to compete for financial power later.

  After all, the Ministry of Industry is the real big spender...

  "Your Majesty, the minister Bai Qi is also willing to guarantee that if the money distributed to the old soldier is less than a penny, the minister is willing to kill him!"

  The next moment, Bai Qi also cupped his hands and said.

  This made Su Wen even more certain that this group of people just wanted to gain financial power.

  "Okay!" Su Wen was very decisive: "This matter will be handed over to your Ministry of War. Tomorrow everyone will be waiting at the banquet outside the city tower to see the surrender of the alien race, and the ministers will wait to see how you treat those old soldiers."

  "Here!"

  The crowd shouted in unison.

  Su Wen stood up and strode towards the outside. Meng Tian and the others hurriedly shouted in unison, "Chen wait to send the emperor and empress!"

  Outside the government office, the chariot was ready, and Han Tan had led a group of eunuchs to wait here for a long time.

  "After the Battle of the Northern Expedition, you led those eunuchs to monitor whether the military merits were implemented. This is a good job."

  Su Wen smiled. He didn't wait for Han Tan to speak, but he couldn't help but say, ".. I just didn't think of it. I, Da Qin, seem to be strong, but when I go down, I can find a lot of big problems every time."

  "That's because Your Majesty cares about all the people in the world." Han Tan hurriedly said: "If you can do things well, it is also dragging your Majesty's prestige. This minister is just a fox and a tiger."

  Su Wen shook his head: "Jinyiwei Inspector Baiguan, the first big thing is to take down those who still think about supporting Fusu, but they probably know about these things, and they won't pay more attention.

  I intend to settle these old soldiers in Qinjiazhuang to take care of their old age. What do you think of Han Tan? "

  "This—" Han Tan said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, this servant is just a servant, and it has always been what Your Majesty tells you to do, and the servant does what you want. This makes the servant share the worries of His Majesty, and the servant really doesn't know what to say. OK!"

  "Your Majesty, don't make it difficult for him." Meng Hui couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty's idea is good, but if all the old (Wang Hao) soldiers are settled together, I am afraid the old soldiers themselves will not be willing. ."

  Su Wen puzzled: "What do you mean?"

  "Who has been in the army for a long time, who doesn't long for a free and comfortable old age?" Meng Hui asked rhetorically:

  "These old soldiers are scattered in Xianyang and Chang'an, and they themselves feel comfortable. After the money from the court is distributed, they can drink and chat with their friends and bask in the sun. Wherever it is lively, they can go to see where they are. It all came together well."

  Su Wen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "But I have some lack of consideration... Then wait for the Ministry of War to come up with a plan."

  Su Wen looked through the car window and saw a dozen old people surrounded by them. He subconsciously looked at the palms of these old people. Meng Hui hurriedly motioned Han Tan to stop the carriage.

  Han Tan, who was standing by the door of the carriage, immediately motioned to stop the carriage to get his clothes on.

  "These more than ten people... are actually old soldiers!".

Chapter 812

  Su Wen listened to his ears for a while, and heard that these people said that some houses would be built in the warehouse of Tianbei City, and that they could also exchange some money by working hard in the past.

  This time, Su Wen's face became even more ugly.

  "Let Jin Yiwei be transferred over and gather all the old soldiers who can be found!"

  "Here!" Han Tan bowed his hands, and immediately stepped out of the carriage to give orders, and the Imperial Army roared away with flying horses.

  Meng Hui reached out and gently kneaded Su Wen's shoulders: "Your Majesty is a good person, but things have to come step by step."

  "Hui'er... I think there are too few things to make a living in this era."

  "Ah?" Meng Hui was puzzled: "Your Majesty?"

  "You don't understand..." Su Wen couldn't help but said: "I established Chang'an City, and the world's Cao Yun began to appear immediately, so Cao Yun supported a lot of people.

  Many people who are not hungry can find a way to earn money to support their families at the wharf or on the ship. "

  "But what else can happen? I think a lot, I am in an era of ignorance, everything is in its infancy, and everyone is exploring, but I know what kind of path is true..."

  Su Wen looked at Meng Hui with a stunned expression, and didn't understand what he was talking about, so he felt a bit of a headache.

  "Forget it, my thoughts are very simple, the troubles in the north of the empire have been eliminated, so the rebels of the Chu Xiang clan have no idea where they have fled.

  It is impossible for me to keep my eyes on them forever. I have eliminated the political malpractices of the three princes and nine ministers of the imperial court, and now the benefits of the six-department system are beginning to emerge for the first time.

  The imperial examination system must go on smoothly, and the development of business 467 can give birth to a large number of occupations that support people..."

  After speaking, Su Wen couldn't help but said: "It's like this city, where every day you dump dirt, you need to find someone to do it.

  Those who do this will be able to rely on this to survive, and this is the source of wealth. "

  "Hand clothes should be popularized, and then there will naturally be masks... Well, it is something that covers the mouth, but does not block the breathing of the nose and mouth. According to the saying of this era, it is already called mouth clothes?

  The Huaihe region can promote the cultivation of cotton. I remember that Zhu Yuanzhang did this. "

  Meng Hui's expression was extremely strange: "Zhu Yuanzhang?"

  "Start with a bowl, your status is to beg for food, and in the end you will win the world..."

  Meng Hui's expression changed greatly: "Could it be a rebel thief?"

  Su Wen reluctantly arched like a pig in Meng Hui's arms, and said helplessly, "Do you know the greatest pain of being a traveler?"

  "That is no matter what you say, no one will understand."

  Meng Hui gently patted Su Wen's back: "Your Majesty wants to do a lot of things for the world, but you find that people in the world are stupid and incomprehensible, is that so?"

  Su Wen sighed helplessly: "That's basically what it means, I..."

  When the words came to his lips, Su Wen could only swallow it again. He told Meng Hui about the transmigrator, but if he felt that he came from two thousand years later, Meng Hui would definitely recognize him during this time. I'm so tired, my brain is exhausted...

  "What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Meng Hui's expression had become a little scared.

  Su Wen slowly closed his eyes and said softly, "It's nothing, I just feel a little tired. Back in the palace, you wake me up..."
