Beast Summoner

Hearing Zhao Tianlong's words, many people's eyes couldn't help but turn red, especially those from families that were not rich in wealth. Their eyes could not help but stick to the gold crystal card.

Many people are very upset, why did this kind of thing not happen to them? How can the Red Maple Leaf family be so virtuous? Isn’t it just that they paid some military expenses in advance? If I had known that this was the case, I would have paid for it myself!

You know, it's not just military expenses that are in arrears, the expenses of many departments are also in arrears. People in the military can still have enough to eat, but some departments are in arrears and can't even eat.

Of course, not being able to eat means not being able to eat from the country, but it does not mean that they really cannot be fed.

Some of the well-oiled departments have not even seen a salary for more than a year, but there are many ways for them to make money.

Not to mention voluntarily resigning without salary, if in order to keep their positions, they are asked to pay a portion of their expenses every month, they will not have any complaints.

"Your Majesty, this reward is too generous, and I deserve it. Let's write down the extra money for now and treat it as military pay distributed to the troops in advance! When the next military expenditure is distributed, just remove this part.

It's over." Before he understood Zhao Tianlong's purpose, Li Zhanfeng dared not accept the money.

Li Zhanfeng is not a child, and he does not believe that Zhao Tianlong would give him such a large reward for no reason.

But he couldn't bear to just hand over the money he finally got and send it back. After all, the army has been going crazy for money in the past few years. If it weren't for the strict military discipline of the army [Youyou Reading www.uutxt.info], I'm afraid it would be all gone.

Went on a highway robbery.

It is true that Zhao Tianlong paid up the military expenditure this time, but there is no guarantee that he will not be in arrears of military expenditure again in the future. He does not think that he will have the opportunity to collect the military expenditure every time.

"The money has been given to you. As for what you want to do with it, that is your own business. I will not interfere." Zhao Tianlong said very bachelorly.

Li Zhanfeng gritted his teeth. He could guess some of Zhao Tianlong's intentions. It was obvious that Zhao Tianlong was sure to take over him, or to be precise, he was sure to take over the Red Maple Leaf Family.

Before this, the Red Maple Leaf family would advance military expenses themselves. After that, if military expenses are needed, the Red Maple Leaf family will definitely advance them, so it won’t make much difference where the money is placed. But

If placed in the Hong Maple Leaf family, it can maximize profits.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" Just as Zhao Tianlong finished speaking, a fat official suddenly walked out of the train, knelt on his knees in front of Zhao Tianlong, raised his hands and started to say loudly.

Zhao Tianlong frowned. It was definitely not a good time for Yan Guan to step out at this time, and it had already interrupted his plan.

But since Yan Guan has come out to remonstrate, Zhao Tianlong cannot stop him, at least let him finish his words, because it is Yan Guan's right and duty to remonstrate anytime and anywhere, and as long as he is a wise king, he cannot stop him.

Since you can't stop it, you can only listen and see what the speaker wants to say.

Yan Guan is actually a very special existence. He has no real power, but he has a very high status in politics.

Yan Guan has always been a person who speaks out and gives advice. What he is best at is gossiping. Impeachment of civil and military officials is commonplace, even when Zhao Tianlong was impeached, so Yan Guan has always given Zhao Tianlong a headache.

Position.

In fact, Zhao Tianlong had wanted to abolish Yan Guan many times, but in the end he never brought it up, so he had to let it go.

One is because Yanguan was established by our ancestors to supervise civil and military officials and even His Majesty the King. A monarch who dares to allow others to supervise him is not a coward.

Another reason is that Yanguan often has a certain family background, and some people have semi-saint-level or even saint-level powerful people in their families. Once Yanguan is abolished, the official positions of these people will have to be rearranged.

It will also be a very troublesome thing at that time.

However, although Yan Guan could not be abolished, Zhao Tianlong had his own method and simply found a suitable person to manage Yan Guan, so the official position of Yushi doctor finally fell to Shi Zhiping, the patriarch of the Bai Baihe family.

Shi Zhiping did a good job in the position of imperial censor. It cannot be said that he never caused trouble for Zhao Tianlong, but he did rarely cause trouble for Zhao Tianlong. Therefore, Zhao Tianlong lived a relatively comfortable life.

Zhao Tianlong turned his head slightly and looked at Shi Zhiping, giving him an accusing and questioning look. Logically speaking, Shi Zhiping shouldn't be so clueless.

In fact, Shi Zhiping was feeling a lot of pain that he couldn't express, and he didn't know why the official suddenly got into trouble.

Under normal circumstances, before remonstrating every day, Shi Zhiping would arrange which people would come to remonstrate today, who to report, what to say, and how to cooperate.

But Shi Zhiping didn't arrange for anyone to give advice today, because he knew very well that today was definitely not a good day to give advice. The most suitable day today would be to pretend to be deaf and mute and make a fortune in silence.

Zhao Tianlong did not dare to prevent Yan Guan from speaking at will in the court. Although Shi Zhiping was the imperial envoy and the leader of Yan Guan, he also did not dare to make any mistakes in the court.

However, Shi Zhiping is also a ruthless person. Since things are no longer within his control, he simply keeps an eye on his nose and his heart, pretending not to hear or see anything.

Seeing Shi Zhiping sitting down like an old monk, Zhao Tianlong glared at Shi Zhiping fiercely, and then looked at Yan Guan who was kneeling in the middle.

"As a public official, it is your duty to report something, so just say it!" Zhao Tianlong said in a calm voice, and there was no hint of the impatience and annoyance in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it's not just the military that is in arrears. In fact, the expenses of many departments are in arrears. Especially as officials, we always advise the country and the people, and it is inevitable that we will have grudges with others. As a result, many of us have already suffered.

It's too late to eat, even

Some people can't open the pot! So... Your Majesty, do you think... it's time to..." Yan Guan looked at Zhao Tianlong with a miserable expression. Although he didn't finish his words, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

I just hope that Zhao Tianlong will continue to send money.

If the person who initiated the performance was a skinny man with a rosy face, then this would be somewhat convincing, but the person who initiated the performance happened to be a fat-headed, big-eared man with a red face.

Not to mention that such a person is starving without being able to open the pot, even eating bran-pharyngeal vegetables must have nothing to do with him, but for such a person to stand up and say that he has no food, it really makes people hate him to the core of his teeth.

This fat-headed and big-eared Yan Guan did have an impromptu idea. When he saw that Zhao Tianlong casually gave Li Zhanfeng 300 million gold coins, he was so excited that he thought that the opportunity to ask for money had come, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to stand up.

.

In fact, this fat man does not have a big background. He is just a member of a small family with the surname Si. Although he is not as upright as some officials, he is not like some officials who only know how to flatter. If we really want to talk about his shortcomings,

, that is, having a very strong obsession with money.

Although this fat man loves money very much, he also has his own rules. He will not take any money he shouldn't take, but he will not let go of a penny of the money he can take.

This fat man is quite famous among officials, but it's not a good name. His name is Si Yaoqian, which sounds very humble, but in fact it is not the case at all. People who are familiar with him call him dead

He wants money. Just from this nickname, you can see how obsessed this fat man is with money.

"I'm desperate for money! I'm desperate for money! No wonder everyone calls you desperate for money. As long as it's something that can be linked to money, you will never be left behind!" Zhao Tianlong pointed at Si Yaoqian, who was given a thumbs-up by Si Yaoqian.

He was so angry that he directly called Si Yaoqian by his nickname.

"Your Majesty, we are all from a small family, we can't compare with those big families! They can live a very prosperous life even if they don't pay for a few months, let alone a few months. But I can't.

!You don’t know! I haven’t seen any meat for several months, and I have already lost more than ten kilograms!” Si Yaoqian looked at Zhao Tianlong with a sad look on his face.

Looking at Si Yaoqian's trembling fat, Zhao Tianlong grinned. He had lost more than ten kilograms and was still like this. What would he have looked like if he hadn't lost weight?

"Then it's even more important for you to lose weight. I'm really afraid that one day you'll walk down the street and be crushed to death by your own body fat!" Zhao Tianlong said with a smile.

Si Yaoqian chuckled, "Your Majesty, that... I just made an immature suggestion. Actually! I think, sometimes! It would be good to lose weight."

"Ouch! Your Majesty, I...I need to take a leave of absence. My stomach feels uncomfortable. I can't bear it any longer. I need to be relieved." Si Yaoqian held his stomach, his eyes and nose wrinkled together, looking very painful.

Look.

"Then it's convenient for you to go down first!" Zhao Tianlong waved his hand, as if he was driving away flies.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Si Yaoqian stood up in a hurry, covering his stomach with one hand and his butt with the other, jumping up and down and running towards the door. He looked as funny as he could, and it looked like he was really about to choke.

Can't stand it any longer.

No one noticed that just after Si Yaoqian ran out, all the pained expressions on his face disappeared. Looking back, he found that no one was following him, so he covered his chest with his right hand and gasped violently. His back had already been

Soaked in sweat.

Si Yaoqian looked back again, and then hurriedly started running towards the outside of the palace...

"Li Zhenbang, since the issue of military expenditure has been solved, let's solve the rest of your problems, right?" Zhao Tianlong ignored Si Yaoqian who ran out, but turned to look at Li Zhenbang, showing a kind smile.

"How are you going to give me an explanation?" Zhao Tianlong looked at Li Zhenbang with sinister eyes, but still kept a smile on his lips.
