Zhu Yihai can't get angry, so he will tell others if he gets angry, and I understand.

If you know, you have to explain, how to explain?

Therefore, Zhu Yihai could only pretend not to know, and pretending to be stupid is also a skill.

Especially if you know clearly, you have to pretend not to know.

Even though you know that you are embarrassed, you still have to carry out the shame to the end. This is not only a skill, but also a kind of scheming and cultivation.

This is exactly Zhu Yihai's strength.

"Come quickly, help Wu Baihu up. Gu was still talking on the road. Gu should thank Wu Baihu and the soldiers who killed the enemy. Just give him a greeting. You saved the court and saved the millions of people in Shaoxing Prefecture."

Wu Zheng was sweating profusely and thought to himself that he was ashamed of his own.

"I dare not, this victory is the soldiers who use their lives. I am just lucky and I dare not be the best of your highness to thank you."

Everyone carried the flower sedan chair.

Although Zhu Yihai hated Wu Zheng, this kid originally wanted to rely on him, but he acted so ruthlessly that he lost all his face.

But at this time, seeing Wu Zheng approaching and desperately setting up steps for him, Zhu Yihai felt that Wu Zheng could still be trained.

"Wu Baihu, this time you have made meritorious in killing the enemy, I will never be reluctant to give me rewards. Come, all my dear ministers will come to the mansion to discuss how to reward these meritorious people."

A group of civil and military officials responded to the voice.

The scene became very weird.

Wei Wenyuan knelt down on Wu Zheng's left side, but Zhu Yihai ignored him at all.

He didn't even give a trace of the light from the corner of his eyes.

You know, Wei Wenyuan came to reinforce with three thousand elite soldiers.

Previously, a mere hundred household Wu Zheng ignored him, which made Wei Wenyuan angry.

How can you swallow this now from the Lord’s contempt?

Not only did Wei Wenyuan lose face, but all the three thousand soldiers behind him showed no surprise.

Wei Wenyuan wanted to catch up and argue with Zhu Yihai, but he didn't dare.

Not to mention that Wang Zhiren did not authorize him to do this, but insisted on doing this. Wei Wenyuan was also afraid of the more than 500 soldiers in front of him.

Wei Wenyuan has been in the army for twenty years and has never eaten pork. He has always seen pigs running.

Wei Wenyuan was not sure if he could get the advantage of the 3,000 people under his command.

Needless to say, Liao Zhongping's troops were alert.

Wei Wenyuan could only stomp his feet and swallowed his breath.

....

After entering the royal palace, Wu Zheng became much more pleasing to Zhu Yihai.

Zhu Yihai did not discuss with the ministers at all, but announced the reward decision directly.

Wu Zheng was promoted to a thousand households of Lianghu Guards, and all officers under him were promoted to one level. The Lianghu Guards were replenished on the same day, and all supplies were given priority.

But Wu Zheng immediately discovered that Zhu Yihai became disliked again.

Because Zhu Yihai didn't mention any words about the pensions for the injured and disabled soldiers.

What are you doing?

Wu Zheng is not a person who is willing to suffer losses.

"Report to the supervisory country. Due to insufficient military strength, I promised the temporary recruitment of strong and righteous men in Shining Town before the war. If any casualties occur, each person will be given 20 taels of pension. After this war, there will be more than 500 casualties. In summary, the pension exceeds 10,000 taels of silver. I beg your highness to allow the payment."

Zhu Yihai's original vivid expression and movement instantly froze.

There was silence in the hall.

Ten thousand taels of silver, it is actually not much.

But the problem is that the court cannot provide it.

Really can't come up with it.

The Minister of Revenue came forward and said, "The Wu Qianhu didn't know anything. The taxes paid by the counties that were controlled by the court this year were all the Xing. The two Dukes of Yue intercepted them, and the treasury had no spare money to provide for pensions to the soldiers."

Wu Zheng was stunned.

Xing and Yue Dukes intercepted taxes and knew that they were not aware that the treasury could not even take out ten thousand taels of silver.

The court and the treasury.

I can’t even get ten thousand taels of silver. Which one of the slightly handsome men in Shaoxing Mansion doesn’t have ten thousand taels of silver?

Wu Zheng was silent.

Zhang Guowei suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I think it's time for the imperial court to hire people, and no matter what, I can't lose the hearts of the soldiers. I think that each of the civil and military officials in the church can raise 500 taels of donations, so I can make up this number."

This is messy.

An official took the lead and said: "Your Majesty Zhang said this inappropriately, and it is natural for the soldiers to provide support to the soldiers. This is why civil and military officials can raise funds, and it is difficult to convince the public. Once this example is opened, what will we do? Will the gold mine and silver mountain be successful?"

"Mr. Chen is right. Wu Qianhu agreed to such high pensions from his soldiers without the consent of the court. This is contrary to the law and cannot be tolerated."

"The state has its own laws and family rules. Wu Qianhu has made contributions to resisting the enemy, but the standard of pension has its own old rules. We cannot let the generals speak freely, and this wind cannot be long."

Zhu Yihai coughed dryly, "Wu Zheng, what do you think?"

What else can Wu Zheng say?

If you think you are unlucky, you are indeed inappropriate. Every general will reward as much as you want. If the court wants to recognize it, wouldn’t that be a mess?

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Your Highness, the words of the public just now are reasonable. Wu Zheng was wrong and acted recklessly. In this way, follow the words of the public and follow the old rules. I will find a way to raise the money for myself."

Zhu Yihai was overjoyed and Zhan Yan said, "Wu Aiqing is indeed a loyal minister of the court."

But the question came again, and the Minister of Revenue raised an objection, just two words, there was no money!

When Zhu Yihai turned his attention to Wu Zheng again, Wu Zheng was angry.

"Your Highness, if you cannot afford to pay the soldiers, how can you face the elders and fellow villagers, and how will you lead the soldiers in the future?" Wu Zheng put on a fierce medicine. "Your Highness and all the dukes know that there are two thousand cavalrymen in the invading enemy this time. Only half of them were wiped out in Shining Town, and half of them were unknown. If this appeared around Shaoxing Prefecture, how can I call on the soldiers to use their lives?"

This is intimidation.

Everyone present is a human being, how could they not understand?

If this were before, it would have been a punishment for Wu Zheng's crime of deceiving the emperor.

But now, who dares to mention it?

Zhu Yihai's face changed, "Dong Aiqing, you have to think of a mistake."

The Minister of Revenue looked embarrassed and replied: "Why would you rather follow the old rules and impose additional taxes on the people of Shaoxing Prefecture? But this year, I have already imposed three more times. If you pay it again, it will probably cause public anger."

Zhu Yihai squinted his eyes and said, "Dong Aiqing himself is the one who takes charge of this matter. He only needs to see ten thousand taels of silver within three days to provide pensions for the casualties."

The Minister of Revenue said: "I will accept the order and today I will order the officials of the eight counties of Shaoxing Prefecture to collect the captive tax from the people in Shaoxing Prefecture in the name of pension for the casualties."

Wu Zheng was stunned when he heard this. It was not up to him to impose additional taxes or not. To put it bluntly, Wu Zheng did not have the kindness of mercy to cut his flesh and feed the eagle.

But Zhu Yihai wants to impose taxes in the name of pensioning for his soldiers. So wouldn’t the people who were levied pointed at the Old Wu family and scolded him?
