"Go out and join in the fun." Wang Tongdeng smiled. He quickly broke out of his depression and joked at Zhao Xingde, "The Zhao army envoy cannot be a savage."

Zhao Xingde smiled unconsciously. The soldiers of Xia Kingdom spent a lot of their time and energy on public life. The most important thing in the military is collective action. People who are not sociable either have ulterior motives or are barbarians. Not only can they not be able to get along in the army, but they also find it difficult to gain a foothold after retirement. Zhao Xingde is very fond of studying and often thinks carefully. In the eyes of the soldiers, this is a quirk. Fortunately, he is easy-going and enthusiastic about official business. After getting used to it, people sometimes joke with him as "savages", but they don't care much about it.

Shule Prefecture has a small city, with only more than 2,000 permanent residents. Nearly 50,000 people flocked to the city to celebrate the victory on that night. Shule Prefecture is the garrison of the poplar army, and many people wearing military robes are mixed in the middle of the Yinhu. The soldiers and local areas are closely integrated. This is also the characteristic of the local military mansion. A brave man applied for the recruitment and joined the army. After the military service expired, he could participate in various recommendations and discussions of the camp team, and he was also qualified to recruit Yinhu. Zhao Xingde and others were not conspicuous when they were flooding in the crowd.

Lanterns were hung high on both sides of the streets, and vendors along the street were filled with food, barbecue beef and mutton skewers, jerky, wine, fruits, and scones. "These are all paid by the military government and the chamber of commerce," Du Chujiao had already found out, holding five skewers of meat in his left hand and holding a ox koji wine glass in his right hand, and laughing, "Everyone can eat and drink!"

"It seems that the Huyang Army Mansion is very rich." Chen Yongqi sighed, "It can actually entertain the people with the Chamber of Commerce for three days."

"Shule Prefecture is in a good location," said Wang Tongdeng. "Besides, these meats, dried fruits, and scones are all locally produced and cannot cost much money. The prefectures and counties have to store rations for three years, so they just consumed the things that were about to expire and emptied the storage." He grabbed an apple and stuffed it into his mouth and ate it.

The street suddenly increased by three or four times, and it suddenly became narrow. Everyone was talking loudly and the vendors shouted enthusiastically. The soldiers were discussing the richest military palace. In this extremely noisy environment, Zhao Xingde fell into deep thought, "The influence of ordinary people on the government is not only far inferior to that of the sergeant group, but also as good as the chambers of commerce in various places. Compared with ordinary people, in addition to their superb martial arts,

Why should the sergeant group maintain their dominance?" He thought to himself, "Even when there is no war, even retired sergeants will participate in layer-by-layer recommendations, regularly gathering and performing. Regardless of the discussion or even petition, most of them have detailed plans and feasible implementation. On the other hand, although the number of people is far greater than that of the sergeant, they are dispersed and powerless. Even if they petition the sergeant, the civilian officials, and the county officials, most of them are only related to their own interests and have nothing to do with the national policy."

"After dealing with Ross, the west is stable, it's Mobei's turn." Wang Tongdeng said enthusiastically while chewing the dried fruit, "The chaos in Liao is a good opportunity for Mobei to take advantage of it. This is a confidant, and the Guguo Mansion will never sit idly by. In the war in Mobei, we don't know if we can catch up."

Du Chujiao said with a bitter face: "The tribe in Mobei is worth some money except for war horses and cattle and sheep, and there is no oil or water." Wang Tongdeng smiled and said: "That's worth a lot, and there is also land." Du Chujiao said: "There is too cold and dry there, so you can't grow crops, so you can only grazle cattle and sheep. Even if you have a good land, it will be occupied by the Anbei Army."

Zhao Xingde looked at the bustling people around him with great interest. The celebration of Shule Prefecture City lasted until midnight, and the people living outside the city took their wives and children home one after another. The next morning, the robes of Chengying's Seventh Battalion set off one hour later than usual, one man and two riders, and set off from Shule to Kucha along the Chidao River.

In the signing room of Dunhuang Zhuguo Mansion, three clerks rubbed their red eyes. In the past few months, the documents sent to Zhuguo Mansion have never been cut off. "The old men are sleepy and stay up late, so we are in trouble." Zang Buha opened the tea bucket and carefully took out a piece of ginseng beard, broke it two pieces, threw one into the tea cup, and handed it to Chen Xian.

The old men mentioned by these clerks were the respected Zhuguo's kingdoms in Zhuguo's mansion. After several months, Xia Kingdom used troops in Annan, Ross and Mobei for three consecutive days. But these old men were very excited. Many Zhuguo, who were fifty or sixty, were retired generals and governors. They stood in front of the map and pointed at the map when they had nothing to do. Unfortunately, the Zhuguo's mansion had no right to directly interfere in the deployment of the battle. Especially after defeating the Luos, they had to divide the former land of Ross into more than a hundred marquis territories and enthrone eight founding marquises. More than a dozen Grand Dukes of Ross together asked the Xia army to be stationed for at least five years, and helped them establish military equipment and deter neighboring countries to the west. The Zhuguo's mansion needed to pass multiple laws and regulations. The chief of the Prime Minister's mansion, who sued Cao, almost lived in Zhuguo's mansion with several clerks, explained to the Zhuguo's men one by one the laws and regulations to the Zhuguo.

Chen Xian was not polite, throwing half of the ginseng into the teacup, soaking boiling water, placing his face on the teacup as big as a bowl, and smoky ginseng steamed to smoke his face. Recently, the Zhu Guofu has been too hard and his eyelids have swollen. The little girl from the Zhu family was arrogant. After that blind date, she returned the Chen family's post gift before the Chen family replied, which made him care about the girl. Although he had never met during this period, it is conceivable that she should still look like a stranger who is not close to him. Chen Xian raised his head, wiped the water droplets, looked at himself in the mirror, smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth.

"It has hurt me that the Liyuan Elegant Chairs have been invalidated in the past three months." Gou Junsheng complained with a gold-painted incense paper sandwiched his fingers. Liyuan is the largest theater Elegant Chair in Dunhuang. It has been invalidated ten times a month, and it has been invalidated for two months for three consecutive months. Zang Bu and Chen Xian looked at each other. Although they were both nobles, Du Junsheng was the eldest son of the Gou family in the Qingyuan Marquis. He could inherit the family business and title in the future. He was quite generous, but he was often coaxed by two colleagues who had no titles to inherit, Zang Bu and Chen Xian.

Gou Junsheng was about to throw the ticket into the paper bucket, but Chen Xian's eyes lit up and shouted, "Slow!" Gou Junsheng was slightly stunned, but the ticket in his hand was snatched by Chen Xian. Chen Xian took out a half tael of silver from his arms and threw it to him, laughing and said, "It's a pity to lose it, it's better to give it to me."

Gou Junsheng followed up the money, but he didn't care about it, so he threw it back to him, sneering: "It's better to give it to you. The mansion is so busy, can you still take leave and listen to the opera?" He opened the file and today the representatives of Dongshizi Dong Human Resources and Social Security went to Zhuguo Mansion to express their feelings. However, the matter of the matter was that the Zhuguo Mansion could issue a law to prohibit the Guanzhong Chamber of Commerce from hiding the workplace of Guandong and vassals. If they were already retained by the workshop, the Prime Minister's Mansion should be properly placed.

"Of course." Chen Xian smiled and put the show ticket in his pocket, and the silver coin was not polite.

"Oh? What's going on?" Seeing him pretending to be mysterious, Zang Bu couldn't help but feel curious, and a strange look flashed in Gou Junsheng's eyes.

"Hey," Chen Xian took a sip of ginseng tea with sage pride, "Annan, Ross, and the three battles in Mobei have been fought, and the national treasury is almost empty. The National Guardian still has to make trouble, so he has to pay extra taxes. Could these lieutenants easily increase taxes?"

Zang Bu took a deep breath and said in surprise: "My Daxia Xiang is called Yin Fu. In these three battles, Ross has been won, and Annan and Mobei are also bound to win. How can the national treasury be empty?" Gou Junsheng showed thoughts at first, but then he pretended to be surprised, letting Chen Xian explain clearly.

Seeing that these two colleagues were humbly asking for advice, Chen Xian didn't want to keep him in a silence, he said in a deep voice: "What is fighting is food and money. The three battles of Ross, Annan and Mobei were all attacked by labor troops. In addition to the Dali Kingdom's transfer of food and money in Annan, most of the food and money in Ross and Mobei had to be transported long distances. Whether it was transported to Xiaohai or to support the army to cross Shishan, there was no ten grain and grass left in Duhan and Hengzhai, because of the missed autumn harvest, the amount of food and grass transported was not only supplied to the army. After these three battles, it cost no less than ten millions of chunks of money, and the treasury stored in the treasury had also consumed a lot of materials. If you want to really manage these three places for our dynasty, you should not fish in the pond and ask for excessive demands. Therefore, within a few years, the newly harvested places maintained garrisons and quelled the rebellion, and the treasury was required to supplement the treasury with money."

Chen Xian was proud, took a sip of tea, and finally concluded: "The war in Mobei ended, and the Guardian State should not be more troublesome recently." His thoughts suddenly arose and sighed, "In my opinion, the logistics department and the road chief have at least half of the contributions to these three great victories. Unfortunately, the limelight was all seized by the people of the front military department. It was really unfair!" At that time, the war between Mobei and Annan had not yet ended, but he thought that the military department had a thorough plan, and the transportation of the supplies in the rear was effective, and the victory was like a thing in his pocket, but he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the officials of the five prefectures being overwhelmed by the generals in front.

"Where are these old people?" Gou Junsheng tapped the file with his finger and said in a deep voice, "This group of scholars are restless everywhere. From Guandong to Chang'an Bachelor's Mansion, they can't stop. The investigation of the disabled people in the chamber of commerce workshop is very involved. If the old men really want to do this, they may have been exhausted for several months."

"But those Kanto people in the workshop are really too bitter." Zang Bu's face showed a look of unbearable expression.

"Does the Zhuguo Mansion really don't know about the protection of the country?" Chen Xian sighed quite emotionally, "Most of the land taxes are left in the military governments, and the mining taxes are distributed to prefectures and counties. The finances of the five governments depend on industry and commerce far more than that of Kanto. Every time the workshops of these chambers of commerce accommodate a wanderer, it means real taxes for the five governments. Therefore, the Zhuguo Mansion must pay attention to the complaints of these Kanto scholars. Here are three words: difficult, difficult, and difficult." After saying that, the old god drank a sip of tea on the ground and buried his head in the document again.
