The Valiant Farmgirl’s Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

   "In this way, it will be much easier to suppress bandits later."

  Qin Xiaoyao smiled, and continued: "Although Benhou didn't capture those bandits, my people have already followed them into the mountain."

   "I believe that soon, there will be news back."

  As early as when Song Rui had mentioned to her that she should act in this scene, she had already planned everything.

  Even if the old fox went to investigate, he couldn't find out why.

  After all, there is indeed a group of bandits on Maoer Mountain.

   And she did receive the order to exterminate the bandits.

   It's just that I'm too busy these days, so I put it on hold.

   Shen Xiang immediately understood.

   It is also clear why Qin Xiaoyao was in Maoershan at that time.

   It seems that everything is a coincidence.

  Thinking of this, Shen was a little more enthusiastic than Qin Xiaoyao.

   "Well, Lord Hou's plan is very clever. With Lord Hou on the way, I believe the days of those bandits will not last long."

   "Okay, don't stand at the door, Lord Hou. Let's go into the mansion and talk about it in detail." As Shen Xiang said, he invited Qin Xiaoyao inside.

   "Please." Qin Xiaoyao replied with one word, and entered the prime minister's residence.

  The front hall of the Xiangfu.

  Qin Xiaoyao and Song Rui just sat down, and the servants served tea.

   "Please—" Sitting in the upper seat, Shen Xiang stretched out his hand to Qin Xiaoyao.

   "Master Shen, please." Qin Xiaoyao replied, holding up the teacup.

  Take a sip and find it tastes pretty good.

   "Good tea!" So he said.

   "Haha!" Shen Xiang laughed twice.

   "Longjing tea is newly produced in Jiangnan tea house. If Master Hou likes it, I will ask the servants to fetch some and bring it to Master Hou later."

  Qin Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.

   "Then thank you, Mr. Shen!" Thank you.

   Do not take white do not take.

  Although she doesn't know how to taste tea, she also knows that this tea is a good thing.

   It is also good to keep it in the mansion to entertain people.

  Song Rui watched his daughter-in-law's reaction, and couldn't help laughing.

  His wife is an honest person.

  President Shen Xiang was taken aback for a moment.

   Unexpectedly, Qin Xiaoyao actually asked him for tea.

   It was only a moment before he returned to his previous look.

  It’s just tea leaves. If Xiaoyaohou likes it, it’s okay to give her some more.

   "Master Hou, you're being polite." So Shen responded.

   Immediately, he ordered the servants waiting outside the door to prepare tea.

   Then, Qin Xiaoyao was asked about the details of how she rescued Shen Lian and Song Rui.

  Qin Xiaoyao said it lightly.

  Song Rui made supplements on the sidelines.

  Of course, during the supplementary process, I did not miss Qin Xiaoyao's flattery and expressed my admiration for Qin Xiaoyao.

   "Haha, Master Hou's martial arts are really amazing!"

   "With Lord Hou in Dajin, it is as solid as gold." Shen Xiang looked at Qin Xiaoyao with admiration.

  Not to mention, this Xiaoyaohou is indeed a good fighter.

  Before she reversed the battle with Daliao.

  If this person is here, Daliao may not dare to commit another crime.

  On this point, Xiaoyaohou deserves the respect of all Jin people. Of course it also includes him.

  Qin Xiaoyao had a polite exchange with Shen Xiang.

   Later, he proposed to discuss some military affairs with Prime Minister Shen.

   Shen Xiang was easy to talk to, so he agreed.

   Immediately, Qin Xiaoyao talked about the lack of welfare for the soldiers and generals in the general.

   He also said that when he applied for those benefits, the Ministry of Household Affairs did not give approval.

   "The soldiers went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and what they did was desperate work."

   "We fought **** battles, in addition to defending our home and country, we also wanted to gain fame, or get some money to subsidize our family."

   "Especially those soldiers who died in battle. When people die, they die."

  “But their family members have been unable to get the pension money for a long time. They not only have to bear the pain of losing their loved ones, but also have to face the oppression of life.”

   "If things go on like this, won't it be chilling to the officers and soldiers?" Speaking of this, Qin Xiaoyao raised his voice a bit, looking a little bit filled with righteous indignation.

  She came to look for Mr. Shen this time, apart from her husband-in-law, another reason was indeed for this matter.

  The soldiers of King Huaiyin, before, the imperial court had tacitly let King Huaiyin raise them himself.

   And her soldiers are also the soldiers of King Huaiyin.

  Based on the previous situation, King Huaiyin should pay for it.

  However, after returning to Beijing and she was formally canonized, King Huaiyin didn't care about her and her soldiers.

  She knew that King Huaiyin was deliberately keeping a distance from her.

   But the lack of money did cause her a lot of trouble.

  Thousands of people, let her support, in fact, she is not unable to support.

  But I can't bear it.

   Wouldn’t it be nice to save her own money for herself and her family? Why give it to outsiders?

   It’s not going to work if you don’t raise it.

  Soldiers went into battle to kill the enemy. Now there is no battle, and they are also training every day. Everyone is very hard.

  Everyone's military pay is just that little.

  If she didn't give it, she would feel a little sorry. After all, she still has the fief in Xiaoyao County.

  Adding up the taxation of the fief, it is barely enough to support these thousands of people.

  However, if she could not give it, of course she didn't want to.

   After all, those soldiers are her soldiers. But once she resigns from her current position as general, they will not belong to her anymore.

   And she is planning to resign in the future.

   Shen Xiang was taken aback.

  Think of something.

   "Did the king of Huaiyin approve the military salaries and pensions of the soldiers?" Chong Qin Xiaoyao asked.

   Empress Jia appreciated Xiaoyaohou and often called her into the palace. He also asked Princess Xiangyang to worship her as his teacher.

  Is it because of this reason that King Huaiyin excluded Xiaoyaohou?

  Qin Xiaoyao showed distress.

   "My lord learned that the Empress appreciates Ben Hou, and that Ben Hou accepted Princess Xiangyang as his apprentice. He has a lot of complaints about Ben Hou."

   "The matter of food and payment was cut off by the prince as early as a month ago." Qin Xiaoyao's face was full of bitterness.

  Seeing Shen Xiang looking over, he continued: "My lord knew about the quarrel between the prince and the empress before. But I didn't expect it to have reached this point."

   "The Marquis can actually guess a thing or two about their thoughts."

   "Keep Benhou is not interested in forming cliques and standing in teams."

   "This Marquis only wants to be loyal to the Great Jin and the Emperor." Qin Xiaoyao said, cupping his hands upward.

   "As for other things, Ben Hou really doesn't want to get involved too much."

   Shen Xiang's eyes moved.

   "Master Hou is right."

   "It's a pity, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, there are too few people who have such thoughts as Lord Hou." Shen Xiang sighed.

   Immediately, my heart skipped a beat.

   "The food and salaries of Lord Hou's soldiers should indeed be paid by the imperial court."

   "This matter, the truth is recorded."

   "Tomorrow, I will go to the household department in person to help Lord Hou get the food and payment." Prime Minister Shen said.

  Neutral is good, he also wished to completely get rid of Empress Jia and Jia's family and become a neutral person.

  Selling the favor to Xiaoyaohou right now, maybe he will be rewarded in the future.

  When Qin Xiaoyao heard this, his eyes lit up with joy.

   "Master Shen is serious?!" asked Shen Xiang excitedly.

   Prime Minister Shen nodded.

   "I'm not joking." He said with a smile.

  Qin Xiaoyao got up quickly, stood up straight, and bowed to Chen Xiang.

   "In this way, Xiaoyao will thank Lord Shen! Also thank you for the eight thousand soldiers!"
