Nie Chen told Qi Huan about Jiang Lan. After listening, Qi Huan nodded in agreement.
After that, Nie Chen asked Qi Huan to take Jiang Lian and Jiang Lan to Li Yuanjun for treatment.
After the explanation, Nie Chen walked towards the backyard. It was already noon.
After arriving in the backyard, Nie Chen couldn't find Weng Qiuchan. After asking around, he found out that Weng Qiuchan and Ouyang Mingmo Wan'er had gone to the treasury together to take stock of the remaining money and food in the treasury and make statistics.
Ouyang Ming and Weng Qiuchan are generally responsible for frontline army logistics matters.
Ouyang Ming was the military advisor and was responsible for all military affairs under Nie Chen, including the allocation of money, food, supplies, equipment, etc. It was not as simple as just making suggestions.
Zhou Ping, on the other hand, was responsible for collecting money and food from the rear, building supplies, and transporting them to the front line.
These two people can be said to be natural prime ministers. One is good at government affairs and the other is good at military affairs.
Nie Chen has a lot of talents under his command. They have people in charge of government and military affairs. There are generals who command the entire army, generals who charge into battle, Qi Huan and Jiang Lan who are responsible for intelligence and assassination, and now there are civil servants like Li Ze and Jiang Lian.
He left everything to others and felt relaxed.
An excellent lord should be like this. If the lord is busier than anyone else, it can only be said that he does not know how to employ people and cannot know how to assign people well.
Nie Chen was wandering around the backyard, thinking that he hadn't had lunch yet, so he was going to eat in the canteen.
Suddenly, a maid came to find him and said that the Queen Mother was inviting her.
Why is the Queen Mother looking for me?
Out of curiosity, Nie Chen followed the maid to the courtyard where the Queen Mother was.
The maids were guarding outside, and Nie Chen went in alone.
On the Queen Mother's table, there were some food, two bowls of millet rice, and two pairs of chopsticks.
"Your Majesty, I'm looking for you. What's the matter?"
Nie Chen came over and asked.
Murong Xueran glanced at him and said timidly,
"I...I just want to see if you have eaten. If not, let's come together."
"Okay, I've been busy all morning, and I haven't eaten yet."
Nie Chen sat down directly, took off his chopsticks and started eating.
Nie Chen ate very quickly because he was always busy making weapons and fighting wars. Especially in the army, whether he was a general or a soldier, he ate very quickly because the tense atmosphere on the battlefield determined that everyone They all eat in shifts and guard in shifts.
Although Nie Chen didn't wolf down his food, he still ate at a steady pace and soon finished a bowl of rice.
Murong Xueran, who was opposite, had only taken two bites.
"Why do you eat so fast?"
Murong Xueran was stunned and looked at Nie Chen blankly.
"I'm used to it in the military. It's okay. You eat what you have and don't worry about me."
"good."
Nie Chen had eaten and drank enough and had nothing to do, so he asked,
"How is your life here? Tell me what you need, and I will arrange it for you. In the afternoon, I will ask someone to send you some gold, silver and jewelry. Although you don't go out often, you can occasionally reward others. of."
"No, I don't usually talk to people, so there's no need. People here are very nice to me. I've saved a lot of money in the past ten years. No one is grabbing my money, so it's enough. "
Murong Xueran whispered.
Nie Chen felt sour in his heart when he heard this. This woman was very satisfied if no one robbed her of her money.
This is how much bullying you have suffered.
She was a very quiet woman who didn't talk much and rarely communicated with others. Nie Chen chatted with her for a few words, and she echoed her answers.
If Nie Chen didn't ask, she wouldn't tell.
After finishing the meal, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, rinsed her mouth with tea, tidied her appearance, and sat up, looking dignified and very elegant.
Apart from anything else, the Queen Mother's majestic appearance is also a pleasure to look at.
Beautiful and delicious.
Nie Chen sat on a chair, crossed his legs, and looked at the Queen Mother up and down, getting more and more beautiful.
Murong Xueran's face turned slightly red when he saw her, and then she said slowly,
"Your wife came to see me in the morning."
"Um."
"She said, let me serve you well."
"Um?"
"So, little Niezi, why don't you come over and serve the Ai family?"
"Um……"
Looking at the Queen Mother who deliberately put on a majestic posture in front of her, Nie Chen was surprised at first, and then laughed.
Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
"If your Majesty says that, then I will be interested."
Nie Chen walked over, pulled the Queen Mother up, and then carried a princess into her arms and walked towards the inner room.
The queen's face turned slightly red and she said,
"I want you to serve me! You have to understand."
"I heard this very clearly. Now I will help you take off your shoes."
Nie Chen put his wife on the bed, squatted down, served her with his own hands, and took off her shoes.
After taking off her shoes, the Queen Mother lay on the bed, waved her hands and said,
"Okay, the Ai family is going to take a lunch break. Little Niezi has nothing to do, so just kneel down and pay your respects."
"Don't you take off your clothes when you sleep? Since I want to serve you, of course I have to serve you properly. Come and help me change my clothes."
"Well... no, how dare you, Nie Chen, dare to commit the following crime and attack the Ai family. The Ai family will punish you..."
The rebellious minister Nie Chen indeed attacked the Queen Mother mercilessly. The bedroom in the afternoon was filled with the beautiful spring light and the rippling beautiful sounds.
…
Prince Nie didn't go out for the entire afternoon. He had been waiting on his wife, making her very comfortable.
In the evening, the exhausted Prince Nie came out of the bedroom, holding his waist, and sneaked towards the main hall.
Alas, I can't bear it. I can't bear it.
It's really hard to be a man. Yesterday I served my queen in the afternoon, my wife in the evening, and I waited on my queen all afternoon this afternoon.
This iron-clad waist can't stand it.
No, I have to give Kunkun a break tonight.
In the evening, Weng Qiuchan, Ouyang Ming, Mo Waner, Lin Guang, Ning Wushuang and others returned.
People were sitting in the hall, eating, and reporting to Nie Chen the inventory of the treasury and the remaining silver in the internal treasury, etc. After listening, Nie Chen nodded and said,
The treasury is the country's general storehouse of money and grain, and is the tax and national fiscal revenue of the entire country. It is used for military, water conservancy, disaster relief and other national affairs and for paying officials' salaries.
The inner treasury is the emperor's own small treasury for the use of the emperor and his family.
“Part of the money from the inner treasury will be taken out to subsidize the military, and the remaining part will be reserved for the emperor to use when he returns to the capital.
As for the military part, we can divide it between King Ping Xi and make adjustments according to military needs. We will discuss it with King Ping Xi tomorrow. "
Ouyang Ming nodded and said,
"It should be so. The royal family is gone. Only the emperor and the queen mother are left. There are not many places to spend money. Money can indeed be saved to fill military needs."
