When Zhuge Yuanqiu came to Nanyun City with the rewards from the imperial court, he finally ignited the passion of the frontier army, and the 20,000 soldiers who participated in the battle received different awards.
The soldiers who did not participate drank the fine wine brought by the imperial city. The most amazing thing was when Zhuge Yuanqiu announced the decree to confer Mu Mu as the Princess of Nanyun. Even Yang Kaiyi was very excited.
This shows that the emperor recognizes him as the lord of Nanyun City. Otherwise, why not consecrate Mu Mu as the lord of Tianfeng Princess?
Mu Mu was really excited after hearing the announcement for two days. She held the gold medal with her name engraved on it in front of Li Ye all day long, and kept mumbling: "Now, am I as famous as that guy Wutong?"
Li Ye glanced at her with disgust and said with a smile, "How about you work harder and become the Queen in a few years?"
When Mu Mu heard this, she immediately became furious and threw away the gold medal in her hand. Li Ye looked at him and comforted him quickly: "I'm just kidding you, I think you're in a hurry."
After speaking, he stepped forward and touched her hair.
Mu Mu reached out to knock his hand off and said viciously: "Don't touch my head!"
Li Ye was helpless, looked at her, smiled, and said, "Show me the sign. I have never seen such a valuable thing before."
Mu Mu glared at him and threw the sign in her hand to him.
Li Ye reached out to catch it and looked at it carefully. He saw a palm-sized gold medal with two words on the front: "Nanyun," and a phoenix bathed in fire carved on the back. It was heavy in his hand.
"Is this gold medal likely to weigh more than twenty gold coins? This is your certificate for entering and exiting the palace in the future, and it is also a symbol of your status. You must keep it and don't take it out to hit people."
Li Ye smiled and put the gold medal into Mu Mu's hand.
"One day I was so poor that I had no money to spend, so I sold it!" Mu Mu looked at him and said bitterly. She was still angry about the teasing just now.
In her eyes, everyone can be ignored except Li Ye.
"Okay, I said something wrong. I want to think about how I can apologize to you." Li Ye pretended to touch the back of his head and said leisurely.
"How about making amends with this princess?... Let's get something real. How about giving me more gold coins?" Mu Mu's eyes lit up and she held his hand and said.
While he was talking, Wu Nashi led Yueying in.
He looked at Li Ye and asked, "Master, are you going to have dinner at the mansion tonight, or are you going out to socialize?"
These days, Li Ye and Mu Mu often eat out, while Yue Ying basically stays at the house with her mother to eat by herself.
Li Ye shook his head and said, "I'm not going anywhere tonight. I'm just going to eat at home."
As he spoke, he took Yueying's little hand, sat down next to him, and waved to Mu Mu again.
Mu Mu thought to herself that she really wanted to give the princess gold coins, but she thought that this small amount of money could not buy me.
Li Ye picked up a cloth bag from behind and placed it heavily on the table. He looked at the three of them and said, "Here are 10,000 gold coins. Mu Mu and Yue Ying each have 3,000 gold coins. The rest will be given to Yue Ying's mother. We are here." You still have to stay for a year and a half, so you’ll have to pay for the necessary expenses here first, and if you don’t have enough, you’ll ask me for more.”
"Three thousand?" Mu Mu scratched her head with a look of reluctance. She knew that Li Ye had a lot of gold coins. "Forget it, let's do this for now, sister, quickly divide the money."
After speaking, he reached out to untie the rope on the bag.
Wu Nashi and Yueying on the side were already stunned. They had never seen so many gold coins before, and they were stunned for a while.
Mu Mu poked Yueying and muttered: "Hurry up and count, why are you so dazed?"
Yueying then stretched out her little hand and tremblingly reached into the bag.
Li Ye shook his head and took out two space rings of different sizes with a wry smile.
Put it on the table and said softly: "Too much money is not a good thing. Mumu, please teach her how to use this thing later. Don't put any valuable items around in the future."
Mu Mu nodded, looked at Yueying and said, "Count the money first, and I'll teach you later."
Yueying nodded, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
...
While the two women were dividing the gold coins on the table, Nalan Yu walked in quietly carrying a jar of wine.
He looked at Li Ye and said, "Brother, you have so many rewards, but what I have is not enough for you."
Li Ye looked at his depressed look and smiled lightly.
Said: "The emperor has been very kind to you. I heard Master Zhuge said that the emperor paid off Hua Xiaoniu's debt for you, gave you several jars of good wine, and actually gave you two thousand gold coins for the first time. You Even if you are dreaming, you should wake up with a smile."
"But I don't want to repay Hua Xiaoniu's debt. I want to keep paying it off." Nalan Yu dragged a chair and sat down next to the table.
Then he looked at Mu Mu and Yue Ying with wide eyes and said, "This...are you trying to make me angry? Then who, can you share your feelings with me?"
When Mu Mu heard this, she kicked him in anger and shouted: "This belongs to the three of us, you are not allowed to make any decisions!" After saying that, he grabbed the gold medal on the table and shook it in front of him.
Nalan Yu shrank his head, knowing that he could not offend Mu Mu.
She was a little witch to begin with, let alone being crowned a princess now, which was completely uncomfortable.
"I have to eat and drink. How long will these two thousand gold coins last?" Nalan Yu muttered in front of Li Ye.
"Come on, I'll take care of you from now on. When it's time, your master will come over for dinner, and Yueying's mother will cook for you." Li Ye laughed softly.
Nalanyu was stunned, turned to look at him, and said angrily: "Come here, I might as well eat in the military camp. You have been a vegetarian for the past three days, and no one can stand it."
Mu Mu raised her head and glanced at Nalan Yu, then at Li Ye. She didn't say anything, but quickly collected the pile of gold coins she had counted.
Li Ye shook his head speechlessly and said with a smile: "If I had known you were this kind of person, I shouldn't have recognized you as my elder brother in the first place."
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up a cloth bag and threw it heavily on the table.
Mu Mu and Yue Ying were counting the money, and were startled by Li Ye's throw. Mu Mu glared at Li Ye and yelled, "Try to scare me again. Will I bite you?"
Nalan Yu was also startled, pointed to the money bag on the table, and asked dully: "These...are all for me?"
When Mu Mu and Yue Ying heard this, they turned their heads and stared at Li Ye.
Li Ye looked at the expressions of the three people and couldn't help but sneered: "What a beautiful idea you have! There are ten thousand gold coins here, and there are four hundred craftsmen in the foundry. You go over tomorrow and give them twenty each. This is what I say I want to reward them."
"The leaders of the four factories will each give another 100, and 600 will be given to Mr. Lin. The remaining 1,000 will be given to you so that you can get the same gold coins as Mu Mu and Yue Ying. By the way, Mu Mu and Yue Ying are the same. My sister, you are my eldest brother?"
When Nalanyu heard this, he quickly put away the cloth bag on the table.
Without even counting, he smiled and said, "You are my brother. If your elder brother doesn't help you spend your money, who will?"
After thinking for a while, he then said: "Don't worry about the foundry. I promise to pay them every penny. I guess these guys will have to buy wine on the street again."
Mu Mu glared at Nalan Yu fiercely and shouted: "Brother, all the money belongs to Mu Mu. If you dare to make any plans in the future, don't blame me for not letting you in!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Li Ye frowned, waved his hand and said to Wu Nashi: "Put all the money away, stir-fry some meat tonight, and leave the elder brother to have a drink."
Mu Mu picked up the money bag ring on the table and pulled Yue Ying to follow him outside.
...
Looking at Mu Mu following him out, Nalan Yu and Li Ye smiled and said, "Master Zhuge asked me to tell you that in the next two days, Mu Mu will be arranged to learn the etiquette of the palace. He was brought from the imperial city. After teaching Mu, Mu has to go back with us."
Li Ye nodded and replied: "I told her about this before. No matter whether you are made a general or a princess, you must learn etiquette. You can't be as wild as before."
"It's nothing in Nanyun City. I don't dare to laugh at her. I just wait until the war is over and return to the imperial city." Nalan Yu thought for a while and said seriously.
"She's not young anymore. It's time for an old man to teach her these rules."
Li Ye sighed, Mu Mu was so wild and he couldn't do without her.
"Besides, City Lord Yang and Generalissimo asked me to ask you, these 40,000 troops have arrived in Nanyun, and the wasteland and fields outside the city have been prepared. When will you lead the army to open up wasteland?"
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's start from tomorrow. You can make arrangements when you go back in the evening. I will go with the army to open up wasteland outside the city early tomorrow morning. It's snowing, so what? An army of more than 100,000 people is afraid that it won't be able to open up wasteland. Hundreds of acres of wasteland?”
Li Ye replied quietly.
"Are you really going to do this on a snowy day?" Nalan Yu was shocked.
Li Ye looked at the gloomy sky and sighed helplessly.
Said: "I have no choice but to do this. I don't know when the grassland army will launch an attack after the spring begins? I have to reclaim the wasteland outside the city. After spring, I can plant whatever I need. ."
Nalan Yu nodded and said angrily: "Listen to what you said, this is true. We can't make the decision in the war after the spring begins, which makes our training and production passive."
He was also speechless and angry.
"The teacher said: Reading and walking are all practices. The old monk also said: Chopping firewood and sweeping the floor are all practices. Today I say: This kind of land clearing is not practice, and the army is also a mortal!"
Li Ye frowned.
Nalan Yu looked up at him and said with a smile: "I'll have to trouble you to mobilize with the army tomorrow. I won't pay attention to you. You are different. As long as you go to the ground in person, you probably won't dare to stand on it and give advice. ."
"Are you hurting me, or are you praising me?" Li Ye laughed angrily when he heard this.
Nalan Yu shook his head, looked at him and said seriously: "I'm just talking about the matter. When we get to Nanyun City, I really obey you. I can do whatever you ask me to do."
Li Ye felt as if he had heard something wrong. He scratched his ears and asked, "Anything is okay?"
Seeing Nalan Yu's aggrieved look, Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.
After a long while, he continued: "I still have 60,000 gold coins here. I will keep some for emergencies. The remaining 50,000 will be handed over to the eldest prince after we open up wasteland tomorrow. At present, there are so many soldiers in Nanyun City. Every day It consumes a lot of money.”
"This,... I said, isn't this a reward from His Majesty? Why are you using it to fill military expenses?" Nalan Yu was really confused here.
"If I can use all this money, I won't only have 20,000 yuan left at home. He will send the remaining 80,000 yuan over, knowing that the war on the front line is tight and there is a lot of money to spend."
"The dynasty has not been at war for more than ten years. Once a war breaks out, if there is insufficient supply of food and grass, it will seriously affect the war situation."
Li Ye lowered his head and let out a long sigh.
"Why do I feel like you are like an old general who has experienced hundreds of battles? You give people a deep feeling?"
"Since I came down from Fangcun Mountain, I have entered the battlefield and learned a lot of knowledge from the books my husband gave me. At that time, you were still flirting with the flower girl, how could you understand my suffering?"
Li Ye said quietly.
