...

Sun Biao and the other two looked at each other. When they saw Zhao Sen and the other four, Ma Guocheng grinned first and said, "Isn't this Zhao Sen? Why, the team has ended?"

Zhao Sen nodded: "Yes, Ma Duwei, I have finished my work and I came here to eat a bowl of noodles."

Sun Biao said: "Okay, okay, you guys are busy. Go back to rest early after eating."

Then he ordered the owner of the restaurant opposite: "Their table of dollars is kept in my account."

Zhao Sen hurriedly said, "Mr. Sun Qian, how can you make money? I will pay for your money today."

Zhou Boxiong laughed and said, "I said Zhao Sen, you have only been to Chang'an for a few days, and you are so anxious to curry favor with your boss?"

We are all people who want face, and will you fall in love with your three melons and two dates? Just keep your salary alone.

I heard you have recently taken a fancy to a house in Baiguanyuan, Dongjun? It is a nice place. Each house is equipped with a clear bamboo water truck. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. The house price is a bit expensive, so you should save up and buy a house.

It's really difficult, I'll guarantee you. I'll find Anhu Bank Longsheng Money House to borrow a low-interest house payment first and settle your family. With your income, at most five or six years, the money will be paid back."

After saying that, Sun Biao and the other two found a table to sit down. Ma Guocheng immediately said to the owner of the restaurant: "Three bowls of hot noodles, add more pepper and matsutake."

When the noodle restaurant owner heard this, he went to work with enthusiasm.

What Sun Biao and the other two said was right. They really didn't look down on the politeness of their subordinates. Who did not make a fortune by relying on military merit? The so-called "meager" salary is just the money they earned for a few days. Just renting out fields in the Far East has an jealous income every month.

After being treated to by his superiors, Zhao Sen saved another breakfast. After being very grateful, he finished the noodles with his subordinates, saluted Sun Biao and the other two again, and quickly left the noodle shop.

As soon as they left, Ma Guocheng immediately shouted unhappily: "Rough! These sour scholars, the more they think about it, the more angry they become, they all speak of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Do they understand what the overall situation is?!"

Zhou Boxiong took out a pipe from his waist and said while rushing into the pipe: "I said, Lao Ma, you don't need to be full of evil fire. What kind of complaints can you make?

Who is Your Majesty? The sea of ​​corpses and blood is coming, and you will be led by these useless corrupt scholars? Look, these fools will sooner or later pay the price."

Sun Biao took a pair of chopsticks, held one in one hand, rubbed the chopsticks for a while, and said, "Okay, a little person like Wang Daofu doesn't need to be angry about him."

I really think that the six officials in the court are all vegetarians? Since they want to die, we should not stop them, see what tricks they can do."

Ma Guocheng sighed: "It's a blessing that Your Majesty did not value these corrupt scholars. If they want to govern the country, it is afraid that the people will be in vain for less than two years!"

Sun Biao said: "Okay, eat, don't complain, you still have official duties after eating. You must check the weapons transported to Jingzhou within two days. Report what is missing in time to make up for it.

Recently, the Chu State in the south has been ready to move. I want to focus on Xuanwu Pass to take action with my army, and be sure to ensure that the military pay and equipment of General Wu are sufficient."

Ma Guocheng and Zhou Boxiong stopped talking. As soon as the noodles came up, they immediately started to eat.

...

"Your Majesty~ Do you really have to do your own thing and ignore the livelihood of the people of the Central Aboriginal People? Do you know that without scholars, the country will be in a state of no country, and the people will live in poverty!"

"Your Majesty~ Jingdi has a severe drought this year, and locust plagues are everywhere, and the people are hungry. Don't you ignore it?"

"Oh my God~ Open your eyes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my people in the Central Plains~"

Around the Weiyang Palace Gate, an old man in his early fifties knelt in front of the bright bluestone slab in a blue Confucian robe, and let out a heart-wrenching cry to the palace gate.

The old man was named Wang Daofu. Kong Yifu, who was demoted to the rank of the guardian of the first-rank master, was a fellow villager. Both of them were Confucian scholars, especially Wang Daofu, who had a prestige among scholars.

Wang Daofu was not a native of Chang'an, and he lived in Jinling in the south. When Liu Ce was on his southern tour, he caught all the thousands of corrupt officials and incompetent officials and geniuses in the south of the Yangtze River. Wang Daofu was the first to publicly criticize Liu Ce as a tyrant, and this move would be punished by God.

This year, when the war between Mengluo and the Han Dynasty broke out and the two armies of Xuanwu Pass were in full swing, Wang Daofu even denounced Liu Ce for his military force and put the people in a state of turmoil.

In addition, a drought broke out in Jingdi, Wang Daofu decisively led a group of Confucian disciples to Chang'an, intending to "please the people for their decree."

As a result, when he arrived in Chang'an, Wang Daofu turned a blind eye to the earth-shaking changes in Chang'an City, and instead satirized Liu Ce for wasting his national strength. Seeing that Kong Yifu, who was also a Confucian scholar, became a humble gatekeeper, he even scolded Liu Ce for putting the cart before the horse and insulting his ethics. He made up his mind to "scream" Liu Ce!

For six consecutive days, Wang Daofu ignored the surprised gazes of the people of Chang'an and knelt outside the palace gate to "please the people" and only wanted to meet Liu Ce and "instruct him on the spot how to be a good emperor.

Wang Daofu is really asking for his fate for the people and choosing to fight against Liu Ce? Of course not!

The main reason why he did this was that since Liu Ce ascended the throne, the interests of the gentry had been suppressed unprecedentedly, including the Wang Daofu family.

Liu Ce's way of using officials was completely different from that of the previous dynasty. Whether it was the gentry or the common people, as long as they were indeed talented and could manage the land and land well, and bring benefits to the country and the people, they would be hired.

This is equivalent to directly declaring that the situation where the gentry of the previous dynasty and the royal family were in control of the world was broken, which was something that aristocrats like Wang Daofu could not tolerate.

Therefore, the reason why Wang Daofu dared to go to Beijing to see Liu Ce in such an extreme way despite his life and death was that the huge aristocratic class supported him to do so.

Wang Daofu was still shouting hysterically outside the palace, while in the Weiyang Palace, officials from the six ministries were also quarreling endlessly.

However, the purpose of the quarrel between officials of the six ministries is not for the sake of the kingdom. Such a trivial matter is not worthy of the quarrel between the pillars of the country.

The reason why they quarreled was to compete for the funds of various departments in the second half of the year.

"Everyone, you should understand now that our Han army is fighting against the Mengluo people outside Xuanwu Pass, and the Chu State in the south is also moving frequently. I think it doesn't seem too much to ask the Ministry of War for more than 20% of the military capital."

The speaker was wearing a wide black robe, a beard on his chin, and a calm expression. He looked gentle and polite, but his eyes were shining, giving people a sense of viciousness and discomfort.

This person is Xu Wenjing, the biggest contributor to Liu Ce's establishment. After joining Liu Ce in his early years, he repeatedly made strange plans to help Liu Ce grow up step by step. Now he is the best candidate for the Minister of War of the Han Dynasty and the Chief Chief Auxiliary of the Cabinet.

Everyone can see Xu Wenjing's ability, but because of the fact that he is often extremely sinister and his character of being flawed, almost no one likes to have a deep friendship with him, but Xu Wenjing doesn't care at all.

"Shangshu Xu, I don't like to listen to this. It is true that the war between Han and Mongolia is a fact, but are the people's livelihoods ignored because of the war?"

The person who spoke was serious, Qin Mo, the Minister of Revenue. He followed Liu Ce to start his family earlier than Xu Wenjing. Only when he handled the internal affairs could Liu Ce fight everywhere without any scruples without any worries.
