Looking at the people gathered together, General Meng Zhi only stood in the distance for a while and then returned to the tent. His eyes were deep and steady, and it was difficult to see what he was thinking.

Military advisor Huaiyuan was already waiting in the tent, and the two of them did not look down upon the upcoming Queen Mother.

Being able to sit in the position of general of the country at the age of thirty, Meng Zhi would never look down on anyone, even women.

"General, the Queen Mother came here this time for some ulterior purpose."

The cruelty of the harem is no better than that of the battlefield. To be able to win a beautiful turnaround in such a huge harem, and to have the new emperor allow him to listen to politics behind the curtain, I'm afraid he is quite capable.

"Don't worry about her purpose. A military camp is a military camp. Even the Queen Mother must abide by the rules of the military camp. This is a battlefield, not a place for internal fighting."

Meng Zhi's voice had no fluctuations, Huaiyuan understood clearly.

If the Queen Mother really only came to express condolences before leaving, everyone would be happy. If she wanted to interfere in the affairs of the military camp, I'm afraid the general would not agree.

…

Qiao Shi didn't know anything about what happened in the camp. He set off from Liuzhou and arrived at Yuzhou in the afternoon the next day. Yuzhou City was a border town. It was much bleaker than other cities in the state, but it was more magnificent than other cities in the state.

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

Perhaps it was because of the incident in Liuzhou City that all officials in Yuzhou treated Qiao Shi's arrival with great respect. No matter whether they had made mistakes or not, no one dared to make any mistakes at this time.

It was the first time for them to meet the Queen Mother who would kill someone if she disagreed with her. Even if it was a good deal, they were afraid that they would be the unlucky ones in the end.

Qiao Shi did not ask other officials to come over, but asked the prefect of Yuzhou to receive him.

Because Yuzhou City is close to the camp, it can also understand the dynamics of the army in real time. Therefore, all kinds of forces in Yuzhou City can be related to the capital, such as the son of a certain minister, the bastard of the minister, and the bachelor's degree. Nephew and so on.

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

Nowadays, among the princes left by the Supreme Emperor, except for those who are too young or too mediocre, it is enough to give them the status of princes and a sinecure, so as to live peacefully and not harm the people.

The only prince with real power now is the eighth prince at the time and now King Duan.

Prince Duan was honest and did not stretch his hand too far. However, there were one or two princes who were not very good at stretching their hands.

Regarding these long-standing issues, Qiao Shi lazily intervened and directly wrote a letter to Ningyang.

It depends on what he says about how to discuss it at that time.

Seeing Qiao Shi flipping through various documents from time to time, Yuzhou Magistrate's eyes fell on the big knife beside Qiao Shi. He felt his heart beating wildly as he kept thinking about whether he had done anything wrong. .

Although the Queen Mother looked young and weak, he had heard that this woman was so powerful that she could wield a sword weighing dozens of kilograms and cut off a person's head with one strike without stopping.

He is simply the living king of hell.

If such a fierce Queen Mother felt that he had done something wrong, would she chop off his head without hesitation?

"Prefect Qian, why are you trembling?"

Qiao Shi closed the book and looked at the sitting Magistrate of Yuzhou, feeling strange in his heart.

She was just reading a brochure. Although the Yuzhou magistrate did not have any big political achievements, he was still a remarkable official. Could it be that he was so scared after seeing her that he had done something shameful?

Thinking of this, Qiao Shi's eyes flashed with suspicion. Is there something that hasn't been discovered?

When Qiao Shi said this, the governor of Yuzhou happened to look up and saw Qiao Shi's eyes at a glance. He felt a coldness engulfing him, as if he had everything in his hands.

The Magistrate of Yuzhou knelt on the ground with a plop. Just when Qiao Shi felt that there was something wrong with this person, he saw that the Magistrate of Yuzhou had been holding it in for a long time, his face turned red, and then he mumbled and spoke.

"The Queen Mother, I really can't figure out where Wei Chen went wrong? Please make it clear to the Queen Mother."

Qiao Shi: "..."

When did she ask him what was wrong?

She just asked why he was shivering like that.

Qiao Shi took a deep breath, walked to the Yuzhou magistrate and helped him up.

"Prefect Qian has done a great job. Don't worry about it. The Ai family just asked casually."

Qiao Shi smiled kindly, and the Yuzhou magistrate retreated tremblingly, obviously not believing it.

Qiao Shi helplessly raised his forehead and took General Yang Shen and others to the camp the next day.

Her purpose this time is the camp.

Although the emperor had given Qiao Shi no less power than the general who ruled the country this time, he came under the guise of condolences, and he wanted to express his condolences after all.

As for condolences...

Qiao Shi really couldn't say any sentimental words of condolences.

Since he had been notified in advance before coming, when Sui Qiao arrived at the camp, all the soldiers were already ready.

There aren't many rules in the military camp, and Qiao Shi had already told him to keep everything simple before coming.

Standing on the high platform, Qiao Shi looked at the straight troops standing below, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart. For some reason, just standing here, this emotion was about to overflow his chest.

After suppressing this emotion, Qiao Shi did not talk about those stinky and long nonsense like foot wraps.

He opened his mouth and said: "Standing here today, I only have four words to say, protect the home and the country..."

Meng Zhi on the side didn't even move his eyelids. He had heard this kind of condolences countless times. It might be motivating to the new recruits, but it was of no use to them.

How many of the big cakes are drawn above can be received? Don’t you know how many sons and daughters are buried next to them, and even their bones no longer exist. What their relatives can get is only three to five taels of thin silver, and even this little silver is not available. For Relatives died on the battlefield, and they could only rely on fellow villagers to tell them or... they didn't even know about it.

However, Qiao Shi's next words made Meng Zhi raise his eyelids.

"...To protect our family and our country, we are protecting our Ning Dynasty, but at the same time we are also protecting our small family. We must not lose the country because of the small family, but we cannot let you lose your home for the sake of the country. Your Majesty, for This is a special regulation.

Anyone who sacrifices his life for the country will have a martyrs' monument erected in his hometown, with his name engraved on the monument, and a minimum of one thousand taels of silver as a pension, and three years of tax exemption.

The emperor also knows that these one thousand taels are far from worth the lives of our soldiers, and no amount of money can buy your lives back!

It’s just that the country is currently being eaten by moths and needs to be managed for a long time. This is all we can offer. Nothing can compare with the status of you soldiers in the heart of the emperor. Without you, there would be no whole Daning..."

"In addition, whoever kills a soldier of the enemy country will be rewarded with ten taels of silver; a captain of a corps will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver; a captain of ten men will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver; a captain of a hundred men will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. , Captain of a thousand taels, a reward of 2,000 taels of silver; Captain of a captain of 10,000, a reward of 5,000 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 also more people who only want to be exempted from taxes during their enlistment and the one or two taels of silver they can get when they join the army.

But they never thought that when the new emperor ascended the throne, they would be the first priority.

This was also the first time someone told them that their lives were beyond the pale of money...

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

Regardless of whether the new emperor is trying to win over the border officers or not, the price is too high. Once a war breaks out, the court will spend a terrifying amount of money. One year's tax revenue is far from enough. Where does the confidence come from!
