Looking at the people gathered together, Zhen Guo General Meng Zhi only stood far away for a while before returning to the big tent. His eyes were deep and steady, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Military Master Huaiyuan was already waiting in the tent, and the two did not despise the upcoming queen mother.

Meng Zhi would never underestimate anyone, even a woman, to be able to sit in the position of General Zhen Guo in his first year.

"General, this time the Queen Mother is here, I'm afraid there is no purpose."

The cruelty of the harem is no better than the battlefield. It is possible to win a beautiful turnaround in the huge harem and let the new emperor allow him to sit down and listen to politics.

"Don't care what her purpose is, a barracks is a barracks. Even if it is too late, it is the rules of the barracks to keep it. This is a battlefield, not a place for infighting."

There was no ups and downs in Meng Zhi's voice, and Huaiyuan knew it well.

If the Queen Mother Ruo really just came to condolences and leaves, everyone is happy. If you want to intervene in the military camp, I am afraid that the general will not agree.

...

Qiao Shi didn't know anything about the big camp. He arrived at Yuzhou in the afternoon after starting from Liuzhou. Yuzhou City was a border town. Compared with other state cities, it was much more desolate, but it was more magnificent than other state cities.

Daying is less than 20 miles away from Yuzhou City, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to ride a horse.

Perhaps because of the Liuzhou City incident, the officials of Yuzhou, big and small, treated Qiao Shi's arrival with respect. No matter whether they made mistakes or not, no one dared to make any mistakes at this time.

It was the first time they saw the queen mother who cut people when they didn't agree.

Qiao Shi didn't let other officials come in, just let the prefect of Yuzhou receive it.

Because Yuzhou City is close to the big camp, it can also understand the dynamics of the military in real time. Therefore, in Yuzhou City, all aspects of the forces can be connected with the capital, such as the son of a certain servant, the concubine of Shangshu, and the scholars Nephew and so on.

They may not need this information, but they must have it.

Today, among the princes left by the Supreme Emperor, except for those who are too young, it is enough for those who are too mediocre to give the status of a prince, to give a free job, and not to harm the people.

The prince with real power now is just the eighth prince back then, and now the king of Duan.

Duan Wang was honest, he didn't stretch his hand too long, but there were one or two princes who were not good at it, but his hand stretched quite long.

Regarding these long-standing problems, Qiao Shi lazily blended in, and directly repaired a book and sent it to Ning Yang.

How to negotiate at that time depends on what he says.

Looking at Qiao from time to time looking at various materials, the prefect of Yuzhou's eyes fell on the broad knife next to Qiao Shi, only felt that his heart thumped and thumped wildly, constantly thinking about whether he had done anything wrong. .

Although the queen dowager looked young and weak, he had heard that this tiger, who was able to throw a tens of kilograms of heavy swords, was alive and well, and he cut his head without stagnation.

It is simply a living Hades.

Such a fierce queen mother, if he thinks that he has done something wrong, will he chop off his head without hesitation?

"Chifu Qian, why are you shivering?"

Qiao Shi closed the booklet and looked down at the prefect of Yuzhou, feeling strange.

She was just reading a pamphlet. Although the prefect of Yuzhou didn't have any great political achievements, she was still worthy of being an official. After seeing her so scared, could she have done something shameful?

Thinking of this, a suspicion flashed in Qiao Shi's eyes. Is there anything that hasn't been found out?

When the prefect of Yuzhou was said by Qiao Shi, he just looked up and saw Qiao Shi's eyes in a single glance. He only felt that a coldness obscured him, and he seemed to have everything in his hands.

The prefect of Yuzhou knelt on the ground with a plop. Just when Qiao felt that this person was really wrong, he saw that the prefect of Yuzhou was holding back for a long time and his face turned red. Then he muttered.

"Empress Mother, Weichen really can't think of the fault of Weichen? Please also make it clear."

Qiao Shi: "..."

When did she ask him where he was wrong?

She just asked why he shivered like that.

Qiao Shi took a deep breath and walked to the prefect of Yuzhou to help him up.

"The Qian Zhifu is doing a good job, don't worry about it. The Aijia just asks casually."

Qiao Shi smiled kindly, and the prefect of Yuzhou retreated trembling, obviously not believing it.

Qiao Shi reluctantly helped him, and the next day he took General Yang Shen and others to Daying.

Her purpose this time is to camp.

Although the emperor gave Qiao the right to be no less than the general of Zhen Guo, he was here under the banner of condolences, and it was always necessary to condolences.

As for condolences...

Qiao Shi really couldn't say anything sensational and condolences.

Since I had notified in advance before coming, when Sui Qiao arrived at the camp, the soldiers were ready.

There are not so many rules in the barracks. Before coming, Joe had already explained everything to be simple.

Standing on the high platform, Qiao Shi looked at the straight army standing underneath, and a sense of pride in his heart spontaneously. For some reason, just standing here would overflow his chest.

After suppressing this emotion, Qiao Shi did not have the smelly and long nonsense like a footcloth.

He opened his mouth and said: "Standing here today, there are only four words I want to say, defend the home and defend the country..."

The eyelids of Mengzhi on the side did not move. He had listened to this kind of condolences countless times. It might be an inspiration to the recruits, but it was of no use to them.

The pie pictured above, how much can be received, don’t you see how many Erlang’s burials around him, even the bones are no longer there, the relatives can get only three or five taels of thin silver, and even this little silver can’t be obtained. Family members who died on the battlefield can only rely on their fellow villagers to bring words or... they don't even know about it.

However, Qiao Shi's next words raised Mengzhi's eyelids.

"... To defend the home and the country, it is our Daning Dynasty who is defending, but it is also the small home of all of us. You must not lose your country because of the small family, but you cannot lose your home for the country. The emperor does This is a special regulation.

Those who die for the country shall erect a monument of martyrs in their hometowns, engrave their names on the monument, and receive a minimum of one thousand taels of silver, and three years of tax exemption.

The emperor also knows that these thousand taels are far from the life of my soldiers, and your life cannot be bought back for any amount of silver!

It’s just that the country is currently being eaten by moths, and it still needs a long time to govern. There is only this that can be taken out. Nothing can compare to the status of you soldiers in the hearts of the emperor. Without you, there would be no whole Daning..."

"Besides, if you kill one soldier of the enemy country, you will be rewarded with twelve silver; one captain will be awarded thirty-two silver; ten captain will be awarded fifty-two silver; one hundred captain will be awarded five hundred silver. , One thousand captain, award two thousand taels of silver, ten thousand captain, award five thousand taels of silver..."

Qiao Shi's tone was not too sensational, but the eyes of all the soldiers present were slightly red.

Many people want to serve the country, but there are more people, just for exemption from taxes during enlistment, and the one or two taels they can get when enlisting in the army.

But never thought that the new emperor ascended the throne, and it was them who placed the first place.

It was also the first time someone told them that their fate was incomparable with silver...

Not far away, Huaiyuan opened his mouth slightly, eyes full of weirdness.

Regardless of whether the new emperor is trying to win over border soldiers, the price is too high. Once a war breaks out, the money spent by the court will be a terrifying amount, and the tax revenue for a year is far from enough. Where does the confidence come from!
