After seeing the trophies, the empress ordered them to be sent to the household department for inventory.
Then people brought the dozen or so "representatives of captives" to the hall.
A moment later, a dozen or so ragged captives were shiveringly brought into the palace under the watchful eyes of the supreme heavenly masters.
Dayao didn't make them kneel down, he just let them stand there and be watched by everyone.
But this kind of onlooker is close to torture for them. Think about a dozen rabbits surrounded by dozens of lions, and those lions also prepared sesame, cumin, pepper, salt, pots, pans, and barbecue racks. a feeling of.
The empress sat on the top and tapped her chin with one hand, feeling bored for a while.
Such a captive didn't interest her at all.
"What do you guys do in Yunguo?" the empress asked after a while.
There was silence after that.
"Are you all dumb? Your Majesty didn't answer your questions. I'm afraid he's tired of work!" Bing Siqing Lianliang's eyes widened, and a cold and murderous aura emanated from him.
"Forgive me! Your Majesty, forgive me!" The dozen or so people were paralyzed immediately. These people were already exhausted after suffering all the way, and they were even more frightened when they were brought into the center of the hall. up.
Someone immediately got their pants wet, making everyone frown.
"Forget it, take them all down." The empress waved her hand quite bored, and asked people to take these people down, which was a cutscene for offering prisoners.
"These habits of Daxia are really boring." The empress said after they were taken down.
The idea of presenting captives was naturally learned from Daxia, and it was the first time for the empress to experience it. The result made her very disappointed. Seeing a few ragged ants shivering in front of her, it was very boring and boring.
"Your Majesty, these captives are really worthless. Next time, if you capture the emperor and prime minister of the Izumo Kingdom, bring them here and let Your Majesty ask them what they think." Ren Baqian stood in the middle of the imperial court and waited for a few people to be dragged down. Open your mouth and say.
"Well, that's also the reason." The empress nodded, if the high-ranking officials of Yun Kingdom were presented, she would be able to see them.
"That's it. These people really don't need to offer prisoners. I don't know which bastard arranged it. Let Your Majesty see these people's ugliness. I'm afraid they are not very smart." Tong Zhenye said contemptuously.
Qin Chuan immediately glared at the past.
The others had an attitude of cheerfully waiting to see a good show.
Anyway, the two have been fighting for so many years, and everyone has long been used to it.
"That's it, let's all step back." The empress said lightly.
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say." Seeing the Empress speak, Tong Zhenye hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Damo Mountain now produces nearly 200,000 catties of iron per month, but the transportation capacity is insufficient, and the iron has already accumulated in Damo Mountain. There is a large amount of iron ore. At the same time, the iron smelting furnace and forge in Nineteen Rivers also need to be expanded.
There is also insufficient personnel in the salt well, and it also needs to be expanded.
In addition, the city walls and government offices of each city need to be repaired. "
While speaking, Tong Zhenye took out a stack of densely written papers from his pocket, and the guard immediately took them and put them on the desk in front of the empress.
"Your Majesty, there is still two months' shortage of food and wages on the front line, and the continuous battle for several months has caused too much wear and tear on weapons, and many soldiers' weapons have been used as iron plates.
Also, the food and salaries of these auxiliary soldiers have not yet been fixed. Even if the monthly regulations are not mentioned, His Majesty should reward the auxiliary soldiers this time! "Qin Chuan then spoke.
The two were surprisingly in sync at this time.
"Your Majesty, last year's salary was allocated only 50% by the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is still less than half. If you don't continue to distribute it, many officials may not be able to eat meat!" Xiong Yaohe, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, followed closely behind.
Typical why not eat minced meat... but there is nothing wrong with it!
"Your Majesty, the Secretary of Justice now..."
The Ministry of Punishment Shangshu Zhuoyan immediately followed the Ministry of Rites and spoke.
The hall suddenly became similar to a vegetable market. A group of people stood below and yelled, between the lines were six words: want money, want things, want people!
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. Last year, many cities in the north were damaged, and the allocation of money and food consumed most of the treasury. Afterwards, many cities in the northeast were harassed by the Izumo Kingdom, and it was also necessary to allocate food to help the people there to tide over the difficulties.
All these silver coins were transferred, and it was barely enough to keep the people whose city walls were destroyed until the spring harvest! There is absolutely no energy left for other uses! " Tu Wan stepped forward with a livid face, and his voice immediately overwhelmed everyone.
Ren Baqian opened his mouth, in fact, he still owes Duwei's mansion several months of food and salary! The emperor can't send hungry soldiers!
But seeing Tu Wan's breath surging and knocking everyone else aside, Ren Baqian sensibly didn't speak.
My body is not like Tong Zhenye and others.
It doesn't matter if they get hit, if they get hit, they will lose half their lives!
Well, the hundred households in Duwei's Mansion are all rich, so they shouldn't be short of this amount of food and wages, and they won't starve to death for the time being, so it's better to bring this matter up with His Majesty later.
"Shut up!" The queen's face turned blue, her hair began to flutter, and her breath was like a towering mountain, suppressing everyone.
"Let's all go back, we will discuss after counting!" the Empress said coldly.
"Your Majesty..." Tong Zhen wanted to speak out of ambition.
"Get down!" A bright red, square brick was slapped on Tong Zhenye's forehead, smashing it to pieces.
This thing feels very good in the hand, and the empress has always been very accurate in throwing it.
It's a pity that the meaning of this brick is far greater than the lethality. To Tong Zhenye, it is no different from a piece of tofu being slapped on the forehead. The lethality may not be as great as tofu being slapped on the head of an ordinary person.
I just told everyone that His Majesty is in a bad mood right now and doesn't want to talk to them, so get out of here quickly, or you'll get mad!
Seeing that the empress had an ugly face and was on the verge of getting angry, everyone had to temporarily stop talking and retreat.
Ren Baqian stayed at the end, half a step behind the empress and followed her out.
"Your Majesty, it's not worth getting angry about." Ren Baqian comforted softly behind the Empress.
"Why am I so angry?" The empress, who was still angry just now, turned her head to look calm.
"It's been like this every year for so many years, I've long been used to it." The empress said with a glance at him.
"It's just that they are noisy."
Ren Baqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it turned out that the empress sometimes acted.
"Anyway, they quarrel when they have no money, and they quarrel even if they have a little money. I thought, when Yunguo is conquered and rich, they should stop arguing." The empress then said.
"At that time, they will argue about other things." Ren Baqian thought for a while.
"When you are hungry, you think about filling your stomach. After you are full, you want to dress warmly. When you are full and warm, you should think about other things. The ancients said it well: when you are full, you want to be warm!"
The empress kicked Ren Baqian's calf, and Ren Baqian felt as if he heard a bone crack...
"What do you think about Baonuan?" the empress looked at him coldly and asked.
"What the ancients said, it's not what I said!" Ren Baqian hugged his legs and spun in circles, jumping and jumping.
Kick him! How innocent I am!
"Hmph!" the empress snorted softly.
"Actually, this is false. Everything in the world is just appearance, false, not real. If I feel pain, then I will feel pain. If I see through this illusion, I will not feel pain anymore. Amitabha!" Ren Ba Qian gasped for a long time before putting down his legs, trying to keep his face calm, and pretending to be an eminent monk.
I have also made great progress in the Buddhist scriptures these days, and now I feel that it is really great for me to study Buddhism.
Sometimes it is still very useful, just like the calm and natural coolness, very useful!
The empress kicked his other leg, then slowed down and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Ren Baqian twitched his face...
"pain!"
