"That's it, let's all get up and talk!" Wang Wenzuo said coldly: "We are all brothers, let's talk about it? What are you going to do?"
"Pay salaries to the soldiers? Just like before?" Cui Hongdu whispered: "If you get money, no one will make trouble!"
"Salary money?" Wang Wenzuo turned to He Boyong: "He Ba, what do you think?"
"This is a good idea!" He Boyong hurriedly said: "We have a lot of property under the name of Dinglin Temple. Let's ask Zen Master Huicong to spend some of it first, and we will make up for it after autumn!"
"How many people are there at the head of our camp?" Wang Wenzuo asked.
"There are probably more than a thousand people between me, Lao Cui, and Lao Shen, right?"
"There are more than a thousand people. Does that mean there are not more than 8,000 people?" Wang Wenzuo asked.
"Of course not!" He Boyong said with a smile: "They are not our subordinates, why should we use our own pockets to pay them?"
"Forget it, let's all sit down and talk!" Wang Wenzuo pointed to the seat next to him and sighed: "He Ba, Hongdu, it's good that you two can think of paying the soldiers from public property, but You are no longer the little military attaches who led dozens or hundreds of people. This time when I came back from Chang'an, I was already the ambassador of peace to the Japanese country, with the power to open a government. You will be the judges, generals, and generals in my government in the future. Governor, when it comes to the big things, you have to take charge of the field, but also when it comes to the small things, you have to lead the army alone. When you think about the problem, you can't just think about your own people? You have to think more about what impact your actions will have on the overall situation!"
Cui Hongdu and He Boyong both looked happy when they heard that Wang Wenzuo said that they had the authority to open a government office. It turned out that the word "opening a government office" at that time referred to senior civil and military officials, who had the right to establish government offices and select their own officials. Under the influence of the concept of dual monarchs since the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is a very special relationship between the officials who open the government and their subordinates. Wang Wenzuo said that he had the right to open the government, which meant that their political destiny had been completely tied to Wang Wenzuo, which was undoubtedly a good thing for them.
"Congratulations, Sanlang! No, congratulations, Mr. Fu!" Cui and Heba said in unison.
"Okay, don't rush to congratulate me!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand: "You just said you would pay the soldiers, but have you ever thought about what the other 8,000 people who didn't get it will think? What will they do? ?」
"I'm sure they won't be very happy, but it's none of our business, right? After all, we're not their generals!" Cui Hongdu said.
"Yes, this is really none of your business. But have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? Other soldiers without pay will be more dissatisfied and more likely to mutiny, and their generals will not be able to pay them. They are paid, but what will they do if their superiors accuse them of this?"
"Will they sue us?" Cui Hongdu whispered.
"That's right, you finally thought of it!" Wang Wenzuo said in a low voice: "How do you think Governor Liu will deal with you if you use your personal wealth to pay?"
"Yes, but did you also pay the soldiers back then? Governor Liu didn't blame you?" Cui Hongdu said.
"We were at war back then, and at critical moments, as long as we can win, the superiors will turn a blind eye to many things!" Wang Wenzuo said solemnly: "At this time, what Governor Liu wants to do is to prevent trouble. If you cause trouble for him, he will naturally I will deal with you severely!"
"Then what should we do?" Cui Hongdu was stunned: "Who can do anything if the soldiers want to go home? If we didn't have property in Baekje, we would also want to go back!"
"This will take more effort!" Wang Wenzuo pointed to the corpse outside: "Everyone is homesick, but not everyone will mutiny. The two of them probably did this because something happened at home. You guys As generals and generals, you should spend more time in the army, use money where you can, use strength where you can, and try to solve things for them as much as possible. If it doesn't work, you should say some kind words and help them. It’s better to solve it instead of just taking money to get rid of it, which will only raise a bunch of weak soldiers.”
"Yes, we understand!" After Cui and He Ba heard this, they were already convinced. They said a few more words before leaving.
"Master!" Sancho whispered while pouring hot water into the footbath: "You have changed a lot this time when you came back from Chang'an. I didn't even dare to recognize you just now!
"
"Don't you dare to admit it?" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "It only took a few months to change so much? Could it be that you have gained weight?"
"He's a little fatter!" Sancho said with a smile, "But the villain doesn't dare to admit it. It's not because of this, but because he feels that the master is more impressive and looks like a great nobleman!"
"Your Majesty?" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Where do you start talking about this? I just rose a few ranks. Maybe I didn't have much exposure to the weather in Chang'an, so I became a little whiter and a little fatter. After a while, I became the same as before. Got it!"
"No!" Sancho put down the kettle, wiped his hands and massaged Wang Wenzuo's shoulders and neck: "You are getting bigger and bigger, how can you remain the same?"
"No matter how big the official position is, am I still the one?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, his feet in the hot water bucket and being rubbed soothingly: "By the way, when I was not in Baekje, you married a wife, right? So let's figure it out. I still owe you a favor, and I’ll make up for it tomorrow!”
Hearing Wang Wenzuo mention his daughter-in-law, Sancho chuckled twice: "It's all thanks to your blessing, how dare you ask for joy again!"
"Thanks to my blessing?" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "I was in Chang'an when you married your wife. What does it have to do with me? That is your own responsibility!"
"Master, what the villain is telling the truth is not a joke!" Sancho said with a smile: "The villain's wife is the maid of the ghost room Yun. She falls in love with the villain, and to be honest, it is for her own master! I won't hide it. Master said, that little lady’s whole heart is attached to you, Master!”
"Hang on me? Ghost room Yun?" Wang Wenzuo was stunned. He opened his arms, broke away Sancho's hands from his shoulders, and stood up: "Is it true or false?"
"Really, absolutely true!" Sancho said quickly: "This is what my mother-in-law told me on the bed. She and the ghost room Yun grew up together since childhood. They are closer than sisters. This How could you lie to me about such a thing!"
Wang Wenzuo didn't speak. The pretty figure in mourning clothes flashed in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but move. He slowly sat down and said, "Sancho, that Ghost Room Yun has a special status. This matter is of great importance, so you must be stricter!"
"Don't worry, little one!" Sancho hurriedly laughed, and while beating Wang Wenzuo's back, he said, "My wife has already warned me that I won't even say a word about my master's affairs outside."
"Oh?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Listen, the person in your family is very strict with you!"
"Hehe!" Sancho laughed twice: "She is very strict, but she does have some skills. My family was originally very messy, but after she came here, it was organized in three or two days. To be honest with the master, If you have seven or eight more brats, you will be a big landowner by then!"
Wang Wenzuo smiled and said nothing. Of course he knew that the biggest problem for little people like Sancho who climbed out of the bottom was that they did not have the ability to manage the wealth and power that fortune had brought to them, and his newly married wife happened to be the replacement. He made up for this shortcoming. If nothing happens, a wealthy and famous family will appear on the Korean Peninsula in seventy or eighty years, and Sancho will be the originator.
"Sancho, do you want to go to Japan?"
"Master is going to Japan?" Sancho's hand stopped.
"Yes, I am returning to Baekje this time to serve as an envoy to Japan according to the emperor's decree!" Wang Wenzuo said, "I won't be able to stay in Baekje for long!"
"Yes, as long as the master wants Sancho to accompany him!" Sancho moved his hands again: "Anyway, my wife already has my seed in her belly, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Oh? Are you pregnant so soon?"
"Well, I found out about it just a month ago!" Sancho said happily: "If possible, I will tell her when I go back and let her get ready!"
"Let's wait a few days for Governor Liu and I to talk first!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile.
"Okay, let's wait a few more days!" Sancho exerted force on his hand twice: "Master, what do you think of the strength?"
"Well, just use this strength, rub it for a while and then go back! Your wife has a baby in her belly. Stay with her at home for a few more days. I'm afraid you won't be able to see the baby born when you accompany me to Japan this time!"

Sancho House.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!" Sancho entered the door happily, kicked off his straw sandals in the hall, and rushed up to the hall in three steps at a time.
"Lang Jun is back!" Acheng came out of the house and said with a smile: "Didn't Wang Canjun come back from Chang'an? Why are you back so early!"
"Master heard that you are pregnant and asked me to come back early!" Sancho smiled and kissed his wife on the cheek: "My wife is still sweet!"
"Bah!" Acheng spat, covered his nose and cursed: "My whole body smells like horse manure, it stinks so much, why don't you go wash it off!"
"The smell of horse manure is also your husband!" Sancho sat on the chair nonchalantly: "Is there anything left to eat? Get some, I'm starving! Also, my master has been promoted again. He is no longer joining the army, but is a member of the Japanese government. Ambassador, General Dingyuan, is the fifth rank, is the fifth rank!"
"It's heating up on the stove! I'll bring it over right away!" Acheng looked at Sancho's face. He sighed: "You are really a blessed man. He is a nostalgic man and will definitely not treat you badly. You must do a good job for him!"
"You don't have to tell me!" Sancho said with a smile: "I haven't done anything my master has asked me to do! Bring me the food quickly, I'm starving!"
"Okay, okay, bring it, bring it right away!" Acheng smiled bitterly and shook her head. She came back. After a while, she came back with a tray in her hand and two big bowls on it: "Eat it. ! After eating, go back to Wang Sima and wait for his orders!"
"No need!" Sancho said while eating: "I don't have to go to the master's house tonight, just stay at home!"
"No need to go?" Acheng asked anxiously: "How can that happen? I remember that you are not the most trustworthy person around him? How come he doesn't need you to listen to him? Could it be that when he goes to Chang'an, there are more capable people and he doesn't want you?" "
"Don't talk nonsense!" Sancho said with a smile: "You just said that the master is nostalgic. Back then, the master and I were covered by the same blanket. How could he not want me?"
"What is that?" Acheng asked anxiously, grabbing Sanqiu's chopsticks: "You know how to eat, eat, eat, and you are not afraid of dying. This matter is not a joke. Do you know how many people are staring at Wang Sima? The location? You can’t be careless!”
"You bitch, you just like to worry!" Sancho sighed helplessly: "My master heard that you were pregnant and said that I would follow him to Japan for a while, so I'm afraid I can't watch this. The baby is born, so let me stay at home with you for a few more days before departure!"
"Ah!" Acheng was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "So that's it. Oh, Wang Sima is really thoughtful. He even thought of this. You are really far behind him."
"Nonsense!" Sancho snatched the chopsticks back and said while eating: "If I can catch up with the master, it will be my turn to be a woman like you? Even princesses have to queue up!"
Acheng was not annoyed after hearing what Sanqiu said. She smiled and watched her husband eat porridge. She took out a comb from her sleeve and combed Sanqiu's hair. She smiled and said, "By the way, he went to Japan to work." Well? Are you looking for trouble with Fuyu Fengzhang? Ayun would be extremely happy if she knew about it!"
"Who is Fuyu Fengzhang, worthy of his master going to Japan in person?" Sancho snorted coldly: "There must be more important things -" As soon as he finished speaking, Sancho suddenly coughed violently, and his nose, tears and food residues were everywhere. Splashing, Acheng thought her husband had choked, and hurriedly slapped Sancho's vest hard, shouting: "Master, are you okay? Don't scare me!" After a while, Acheng calmed down, and Acheng hurriedly hit Sancho again. He came over with a glass of water and handed it over: "Come on, drink some water quickly and take a breath, I'm scared to death, really, no one is trying to compete with you, you're in such a hurry to eat!"
Sancho drank the glass of water in one gulp and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'm in trouble!"
"Why are you so frightened? Did you kill someone?"
"It's much worse than killing people!" Sancho said sadly: "Just now, my master told me not to leak the news that he was going to Japan, but I told you in the blink of an eye. What should I do? My master will definitely punish me severely. of!"
"Ah, God knows this kind of thing. You know it and I know it. As long as the two of us don't tell it, who knows! If your master doesn't know, how can he blame you?"
"Well, don't tell anyone else, or you'll get in trouble!" Sancho whispered.
road.
"Don't worry, why would I spread such a thing everywhere? You are my husband! Wang Sima is also kind to my mistress!" Acheng said with a smile: "You have a drink, a good sleep, and everything will be fine." If it doesn’t happen, there will naturally be no consequences!”
"Just pretend nothing happened!" Sancho repeated in a low voice. The panic on his face gradually disappeared. He took a long breath and said, "It's getting late, I should rest too!"
"That's right, have a good sleep and everything will be fine!"
"Yes, everything will be fine!"
