Chapter 127 Three hundred million gold baht

In the feeling of pain, Li Ang woke up. He covered his head and opened it and saw Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang. They were sleeping beside him, squeezing on a bed, and there was a charming fragrance in the gauze tent.

Li Ang's head suddenly turned blank. Of course, he understood what was going on. At this time, the jade man beside him woke up. Looking at Li Ang who had opened his eyes, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang blushed and got into the bed. They were heroes of the girls, but they were always girls' homes.

Li Ang reached out and hugged them. He didn't know how to say sweet words, but he knew that from this moment on he was a husband, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang were his wife, people who would never leave him in their lives.

Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang leaned against Li Ang, and the blush on their faces gradually disappeared. They knew what kind of person the man they liked was, and they also didn't care about those love words that deceived the girl. They just hugged Li Ang tightly together. They liked the feeling of being hugged tightly.

After a long time, Li Ang looked at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang who were nestled in his arms and said quietly, "Si Niang, Fengshuang, I don't know if I will be a good husband, but I will work hard to be a good husband."

"Well!" Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang had smiles in their eyes. They would never doubt what Li Ang said, because in their hearts, the words that this man who has become their husbands said were like an arrow shot and would never look back.

Just as Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang were immersed in the silent sweetness, a knock on the door sounded outside the door, and then Li Yanzong's voice sounded. "Master, something happened."

"This is a damn slut." Feng Siniang said lightly in Li Ang's arms. Together with Lin Fengshuang, Li Yanzong was scolded in his heart.

Looking at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, Li Ang smiled and kissed them gently, "You sleep for a while, I'll go see him and see what's wrong." He said that. He gently got out of the bed, put on his clothes, covered Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang with a quilt, and then walked out of the room.

"What happened?" Seeing Li Yanzong's face full of panic, Li Ang frowned. In his impression, Li Yanzong rarely looked like this in front of him.

"Master, the Persian princess was rescued, Feng Sha and Qin Feng were in the outer hall." Li Yanzong did not dare to look up at Li Ang, but just lowered his head. His voice was full of shame.

"Is it rescued?" Li Ang was a little surprised by the news, but he still didn't take it to heart. He just said to Li Yanzong, "I understand, please let Qin Feng and Feng Sha go back."

"Yes, Lord." Li Yanzong didn't expect that Li Angdi's reaction was so calm, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Looking at the figure of Li Yanzong who was leaving, Li Ang walked to the kitchen. To him, no major matter today is as important as Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, and he knew a little about those who rescued the Persian princess, but these people were not something he could move.

In the room, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang were whispering in the quilt, and suddenly the door was pushed open, and then the aroma of clear porridge filled the room. Li Ang closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed with the cooked porridge and some side dishes.

Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang had already put on their clothes and drank Li Ang’s porridge to cook with their own hands. Their eyes and hearts were filled with honey. Li Ang sat on the edge of the bed, looking at them, his cold eyes were always filled with gentleness.

"What are you watching? You've been watching for so long!" Seeing that Li Ang has been staring at him and Feng Siniang, Lin Fengshuang blushed and said.

"Look at you, I think I will never get tired of watching it all my life." Li Ang smiled. His words made Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang lower their heads in shame. The delicate and tenderness of their heads was the most touching.

Drizzt pushed open Li Ang's door with Qingzhi, and then they saw Li Ang, as well as the shy Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang. Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then ran to Li Ang, "Brother, should I call Sister Lin and Sister Feng's sister-in-law?"

Before he knew it, Qingzhi had grown up too! Looking at her smiling sister, Li Ang touched her little head and nodded, "From the future, you will call her sister-in-law."

"Acui, I, Si Niang, and Fengshuang, will help you arrange your marriage." Li Ang looked at Drizzt and said with a smile.

"Yes, young master, I will definitely make the wedding lively." Drizzt replied loudly. He finally saw that Li Ang, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang were about to get married, and he was very happy.

Soon the news spread throughout the mansion. Cen Ji was the first to scream. Li Yanzong was also shocked when he came back, and then everyone was happy. After all, this was a great joy.

On the second day, put on the military uniform of the emperor who was dressed in a military uniform, Li Ang went to Weiyang Palace under the gaze of Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang. Thinking of Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang's eyes before leaving, Li Ang smiled slightly.

In front of the underground palace of Weiyang Palace, Li Ang met Guo Nu. Looking at Li Ang who had changed, Guo Nu just frowned and laughed, "Is it going to have a wedding?"

"Well, I'll do it when the spring is coming. Brother must come over then!" Li Ang looked at Guo Nu and smiled. Even if he doesn't like the excitement, this lifelong event cannot be careless, and he will not let Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang feel wronged.

"Well, it's time to prepare well. If there is not enough money, I'll just talk here." Guo Nu patted Li Ang's shoulder. He really regarded him as his younger brother. He couldn't express his happiness to see him get married.

"By the way, brother, I don't understand why I can attend the grand dynasty meeting?" Li Ang suddenly asked. He had never figured out this question. With his family background and achievements, he should be qualified to attend the grand dynasty meeting.

"The Imperial Dynasty is about to use troops overseas. As an elite secret force directly under the jurisdiction of the military hall, your secret cavalry camp is definitely qualified to participate in this grand ceremony." Guo Nu looked at Li Ang and smiled, "Who is born from a noble family? After this grand ceremony, there are many opportunities to make achievements. With your ability, it will be a matter of time before the founding of the sect."

While they were talking, they had already walked into the main hall of Weiyang Palace, and they saw that the main hall was swept cleanly. The road on the left was full of civil servants, while the generals in black uniforms all walked into the tunnel on the right. They were clearly distinguished from each other.

Deeply stained by the solemn momentum, Li Ang also put away his face because of the joy brought by the marriage, and followed Guo Nu to the magnificent Weiyang Palace. In the old Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han started a war against the Huns and set up a territory of the Han people in this palace. After the founding of the Qin Dynasty, Wei

There are countless wars in the area that have been initiated, and these wars have pushed the Han people to the world. This is a place that all countries called barbarians by the Han people are respected and hated.

In Weiyang Palace, generals in black uniforms stood on the right, and civilians in red uniforms stood on the left. Everyone looked at each other, as if there were only irrelevant people opposite. Li Ang looked at the throne at the head of the hall. He was not as luxurious as he imagined, but simple and grand.

As the eunuch sang the rituals of the eunuch, the emperor wearing a black embroidered dragon robe sat on the throne under the escort of the Black Cavalry soldiers, "The Wuwei of the Great Qin." The three chiefs of the military hall, who were on the left and right, broke their bodies and shouted loudly. Li Ang shouted with Guo An beside him, without kneeling down or saying "Long live the emperor". What Li Ang could feel was the belief in the strong national force in the entire court.

"Please sit down, please." The emperor glanced at the civil servants and generals in the hall, knelt on the throne, and nodded.

Amid the loud prayer of the inner room ritual officer, Li Ang knelt down, and the huge Weiyang Palace suddenly became extremely quiet. No one spoke, and Li Ang felt only solemn momentum.

"Xuan." The emperor looked at the eunuch beside him and said quietly. The ritual officer respectfully took the edict handed over by the general behind the emperor and read it out.

The content of the edict is very simple. The only meaning to convey is to expand the army. The empire must restore the number of troops thirty years ago and re-station in Persia and other vassal states to ensure the hegemony of the empire.

After listening to the eunuch ritual chanting the last word, Li Ang looked at the civil servant opposite him. He had heard that Confucian faction officials have always opposed the expansion of the imperial army and stationed in other countries. In the past thirty years, what they have been committed to continuously reducing the number of imperial troops and limiting military equipment.

The edict had been read, and the emperor looked at the left hall where the civil servant belonged, "Do you have any objections?" The emperor's voice was not loud, but no one could doubt the unquestionable tone inside.

However, although Confucian officials were not good, there were always people who claimed to be tough. The Minister of Rites stood up from where he sat, walked to the center of the hall, saluted the emperor, and expressed his objection.

"Pediatric." This is Li Ang's only evaluation of the Minister of Rites who stood up. If you want to stop the expansion of the army, you should start from the disadvantages of the expansion of the army, rather than talking about the way of saints. What's more, after the founding of the Qin Dynasty, you never recognized the status of saints as Confucius and Mencius. In the eyes of the emperor and aristocratic families, the saints worshipped by Confucianism were just sages like the various schools of thought.

After listening to the lengthy and meaningless advice from the Minister of Rites, the emperor continued to ask, his expression was still so tepid, which was elusive.

This time the Minister of Revenue came out. He did not directly oppose the expansion of the army, but only listed the military expenditure required for expansion and the current financial situation of the entire empire. In his statement, the fiscal deficit brought by expansion will be huge and dangerous, and the economy of the entire empire will collapse in the huge military expansion plan.

"That is to say, with the current treasury financial resources, the military expenditure is still short of 120 million gold baht every year, right?" the emperor asked, looking at the solemn and worried Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Yes, Your Majesty, 120 million gold baht is just a conservative estimate. If the war factors are included, this number will be higher." The Minister of Revenue replied in a deep voice. The expression on his face made people unable to help but believe everything he said. It seemed that once the empire expanded its army, it would fall into a complete financial black hole.

There was a commotion in the left hall where the civil servants were located. Li Ang looked at the military generals who stood up and knelt down, as if they were still as motionless as a mountain, and looked at the three commanders in front of the hall with some confusion. Expansion of the military should be what the military expected. Do you just do nothing, just watch the civil servants oppose it? Li Ang frowned, he didn't believe that the three commanders of the military hall would remain indifferent.

"Silent!" The emperor's voice suddenly sounded, and it was still the kind of joyless and angry voice, but it suppressed the commotion of the civil servants in the Left Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have the right to report." A loud male voice sounded, and a square-eyed civil servant walked out of the left side of the hall. Seeing him walking out, a trace of eloquence flashed in Guo Ran and Zhou Ting's eyes, and the Supervision Office finally attacked.

"Your Majesty, I have thirteen investigation documents from the Censors over the past few years. Please check your Majesty." Guan Wenxuan took out a memorial from his arms and handed it to the eunuch who came.

Although the emperor had already known that the Supervision Bureau would attack, he did not expect that such a memorial would suddenly appear, and he took the memorial from the eunuch. The emperor looked at it, and his face became more and more gloomy as the memorials were flipping through.

The changes on the emperor's face made the civil servants feel uneasy. They didn't know what the memorial presented in the Supervision Bureau actually wrote, which made the emperor's face look so angry. The officials of every Confucian faction began to feel uneasy. They seemed to have been pinched by some invisible force, as if they were suffocated.

"Okay, very good, this is the official of the Qin Dynasty, well, very good." The emperor closed the memorial and made a chilling laugh. No one would think that the emperor was talking about praise.

"You can see it yourself!" The emperor threw the memorial to the door of the Prime Minister of the Secretariat and said no more.

Yin He trembledly picked up the memorial in front of him and looked at it. Then his face turned pale, as if he had lost his soul.

"You read it out for everyone." The emperor looked at the Prime Minister of the Secretariat, and his voice returned to his usual calmness, but the Prime Minister of the Secretariat just leaned down and only had those three words in his mouth, "I am guilty!"

"Since you refuse to say it, then Guan Qing's family, please tell me!" The emperor did not look at the Prime Minister of the Secretariat who was lying on the ground, but looked at the right-level Censor standing next to the Minister of Revenue.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Guan Wenxuan cleared his throat and said the investigation data of the thirteen inspectors of the Supervisory Institute who had been working hard for several years on the memorial.

"The population of our dynasty thirty years ago was 170 million. There were 500,000 officials of all sizes across the country, earning 400 million gold baht every year, and the official salary paid was 30 million gold baht. Now, the population of our dynasty is 300 million, and the number of officials has reached 4 million. Although it earned 600 million gold baht per year, the official salary paid was 200 million gold baht. If we count the public funds for eating, drinking and having fun every year, it is 300 million gold baht."

Guan Wenxuan's words were like a pot of boiling oil, dripping water into it, and the flowers exploded.
