This is an unprecedented victory.

Although the bandit army was only more than 10,000, this bandit army, under the banner of Li Tang, brought a huge blow to the Wu family in Luoyang City.

It can even be said bluntly that if it were not for the collapse of today, it might have even shook the foundation of Wu Zetian's rule.

Wu Zetian looked at Qin Shaoyou with a faint look. This guy...the surprise brought to him was so great that Wu Zetian was still in an excited state and could not come back to his senses for a moment.

After a long time, Wu Zetian looked around and said, "Yang Shaofu has been punished for rebellion, but the court has to face it, and there are also thieves from Shandong. What the ministers think is better to quell the rebellion?"

Wu Zetian did not turn his attention to Qin Shaoyou, but began to "care" the situation in Shandong.

This is obviously of a bit profound meaning.

If Wu Zetian said that before, what happened to him, many people in this palace would probably fall into silence, because for Li Tang and Wu Zhou, it is not appropriate for them to pay their lives to bet before they decide the outcome. But now... the sun is clear and the overall situation is determined, and it is time to show their loyalty to the winner.

"Sage, I think... After this Mengxi battle, the thieves in Shandong are no longer a problem. The defeat is only a matter of time. You only need to issue an order for all states to guard against each other and order the chief general Chen Jingchun and Xu Tu to attack the attack. What the saint is concerned about now is how to restore farming after the attack, so as to prevent the people of Shandong from suffering from military disasters and suffering from the suffering of the defeat."

Wu Zetian looked at the person who spoke, and this person was Fang Yi, the prince of Taiyuan County.

Wang Fangyi was once a famous general during the late emperor's period and had a high reputation in the army. However, Wang Fangyi was a close relative of Queen Wang, so Wu Zetian had long been suspicious of him and had already planned to cut him off. However, Li Chong's mutiny completely disrupted the deployment. Now he never expected that even Wang Fangyi would come out at this time. He talked about the victory of the court, and Li Chong was just a grasshopper in the autumn.

It can be seen from this that the civil and military officials in the court had completely no longer had expectations for Li Chong.

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Although this is the case, suppressing rebellion is not a trivial matter. It is always better to be cautious." She was particularly cheerful and seemed to think it was not enough, so she said to Cui, "What do Cui Qing think?"

Cui Feng said seriously: "Li Chong is just a slut, not to be afraid. The county magistrate said very well, and I agree with it."

Wu Zetian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask Fengge to draw up a method for the aftermath as soon as possible, and then order the Ministry of War to urge all the troops to carry out as soon as possible to capture the thief army in one place."

After saying that, she seemed excited and suddenly said: "I heard that Tuanjie Camp has been established until now, and most of them are floating in the matter. The combat power is low. There are all Tuanjie Camps in the world, and the only ones who are good at fighting are Meng Xi's camp and Qin Shaoyou. Let me tell me, why is this?"

Everyone in the hall knew that at this time, the Unity Camp could no longer be a grass-roots team.

Perhaps when the Unity Camp was founded, it was just a sudden whim of Wu Zetian, but now, once the emperor personally inquires and makes such great contributions, how could he ignore it?

Qin Shaoyou cheered up and said, "In fact, the crux of the various Unity Camps is nothing more than two. First, the Unity Camp is classified under the prefecture, and the prefecture is responsible for political education and criminal prisons. How can you be concerned about this military affairs? In this way, the prefecture does not know that there is a Unity Camp, and the Unity Camp is difficult to achieve its ambitions. Naturally, the grandmother does not love it, and the uncle does not love it, and is let go of others. The vast majority of people are just offends. The difference between the Mengxi Camp of my hometown is that although the prefecture ignores it, I don’t want to see the good men in the camp was wasting their time, so I stepped up my training and looked a little bit."

Wu Zetian nodded in agreement with the gods and said, "It is the role model for all the ministers. There are so many officials in the court, including the Ministry of Personnel, the Censorate, and the Supervisor, but even so, there are still many people who are still letting themselves go. On the other hand, Qin Qing was in charge of the Unity Camp, but he could always take loyalty and duty to heart. If everyone did this, why worry about my great Zhou being unrestrained?"

Qin Shaoyou felt a little embarrassed. Having said that, being praised by Wu Zetian was quite a bit like other people's children. I am afraid that the ministers in the palace would feel a little uncomfortable after hearing this. Your Majesty, you are cheating me.

But despite this, Qin Shaoyou is not a very cautious person. He has become a child series of other people. He is very popular and may be hated, but so what? When you bastards suppressed me, Qin and sent Qin to Mengxi, I thought I would not have thought that there would be today!

After thinking about it, Qin Shaoyou felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart and continued: "Your Majesty, the second problem is that the food households are in the food households. The court has rules. One 15 households are collected, and these fifteen households also provide for one 1. According to logic, there are nearly two hundred people in Mengxi camp and three thousand households. But in fact, Mengxi County has only allocated eight hundred people, and eight hundred households are raising one 176 people. This group of brave men even had food and drink problems, not to mention the problems of swords, guns, swords, halberds, war horse supplies and training. But the problem is that if my Mengxi camp asks for three thousand households from Mengxi County, then the first problem will arise again, because the court ignores it and because the prefecture ignores it, the people in the county will naturally work as well as the ups and downs when they see this, so the united camps of various ways are almost poor and miserable. The reason why Mengxi camp has the combat power today is because... I... I have paid my own pocket."

Qin Shaoyou is a very realistic person. He won a battle and trained his soldiers for you. Logically speaking, it should be reimbursed.

So he began to count on his fingers and said, "Take Mengxi Camp as an example. When I first arrived at Mengxi Camp, I spent nearly 3,000 guan just by purchasing weapons, armor, war horses, etc. In addition, the soldiers also had to eat, drink and various supplies. The horse materials required, at least 200 guan per month. Now, I am afraid that it will cost no less than 4,000 guan..."

Four thousand stakes...

You have spent 4,000 guan a battalion with less than 200 people in a few months.

This moment... Wu Zetian was a little stunned.

She had to pursed her lips and smiled, "Qin Qing has both contributions and hard work...I..."

When Qin Shaoyou saw her interrupting herself, his heart trembled suddenly, "Damn, I'll talk about money with you, you actually talk about feelings with me. After talking about feelings, can you talk about money again?"

Qin Shaoyou came this time for two purposes, one was to accept rewards, and the other was of course to ask for salary. No matter what, after spending so much money, the court should reimburse a little. After all, if you have made such a great contribution, it would be fine if you only reimburse half of it.

However, Qin Shaoyou obviously didn't have much knowledge of Wu Zhou's tax system. Wu Zhou's taxes followed the equal-field order issued in the early Tang Dynasty. The main taxes were not actually money, but renting millet, silk, cotton, linen, nab, etc. As for commercial tax, it was not without it. It was just that the commercial tax was very troublesome in this era, so if it was money alone, the annual income of only one year was only millions of coins.

Millions of guan seem to be a lot, but for a big man like the court, it is a drop in the bucket. If you raise less than 200 soldiers, you will only get thousands of guan in a few months, and only a fool will be reimbursed.

Qin Shaoyou was very confused about this issue. After plucking up the courage, he decided to continue to interrupt Wu Zetian and said, "Your Majesty, I have not finished my words yet. Apart from that, this time..."

Wu Zetian seemed a little embarrassed. Although Qin Shaoyou did not directly ask for money, the meaning was very obvious. In front of so many people, would you be embarrassed to talk about money?

Wu Zetian said lightly: "The Qin Qing family has made great contributions. Every word you said just now is a point of reference to the disadvantages of the Unity Camp. It is said that even if the country is big, it will perish if it is wary, and if it is forgotten, it will be dangerous if it is dangerous. Therefore, this military matter must not be abandoned. The Mengxi Unity Camp has set an example for the Unity Camp in the world. Since I know the root of the problem, I can only overcome all obstacles and eliminate the ills. In this way, the court can rest assured."

She deliberately began to ponder, and looked quick and decisive, and continued: "From now on, the Tuanjie Camp will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the prefecture... I want to set up a Tuanjie Camp in Luoyang, follow the example of the Nanya, and arrange the 15th Regiment of the Wuqi Tuanjie Camp to govern all the Tuanjie Camps. As for the matter of food households you mentioned, I also need to make sure that the 3,000 food households are 3,000 food households, and it is impossible to lose one household. What does Qin Qing think?"

Qin Shaoyou was really amused and crying. He finally understood why asking for wages has always been a huge problem. He had to smile bitterly and said, "The saint is wise."

Seeing Qin Shaoyou's frowning face, Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing. No matter what, he was a great hero who paid out of his own pocket. He had only heard of the matter of eating the king's fortune and loyalty to the king, but he had never heard of the one who paid out of his own pocket to relieve his worries.

Wu Zetian pursed her lips and said, "As for Mengxi's Tuanjie Camp, all have made great contributions, how can I not reward me? This is why the things you captured, whether they are swords, guns, swords, halberds, war horses, or ships, are all given to the officials of the Tuanjie Camp. In addition, those who make meritorious will be awarded Yongye fields, and if the meritorious ones are given 50 acres of land, if the meritorious ones are given 200 acres of land, what does Qin Qing think?"

In feudal dynasties, there were indeed few direct rewards, and they were usually given land. Of course, there were even more crazy people who directly used cloth and food as your salary. You not only had to be responsible for being an official, serving the court, but also devoted to commercial activities after paying the salary. Of course, this is not really a ruthless thing. The real ruthless thing is to directly send you treasure money, and it is also the kind in Zimbabwe, which makes your family eat all the braised vegetables.

The current teaching of fields is actually the best result for Qin Shaoyou. To some extent, Qin Shaoyou feels that he is very lucky. Fortunately, there is no Jiaozi or Baochao in this era. Otherwise, with Wu Zetian's temperament, he is not satisfied with the world's printing face value of 1,000 yuan, and he will go out to pay the salary. Qin Shaoyou and his soldiers are probably going to make plans to chew the bark.
