She said dejectedly, ”What else can we do? I can try my best to supplement it. If not, we can only go and urge the emperor again.”

”If you don't stay for a few years, the Central Plains wouldn't be too good either. It's either a drought or a water disaster. Royal Brother is both a disaster relief and a water cure.

”I know.”

She knew it was difficult for him, so she didn't want to bother him with it. She wanted to shoulder the responsibility herself, but in the end, she discovered that she didn't have the ability.

Since ancient times, asking for money was always the hardest, she once again raised the salary in the imperial court, with the words of 50 million, she was the first to be refuted by Lin Jing.

”Your majesty, there are frequent floods in the south, and hundreds of thousands of disaster victims have been displaced and homeless. Right now, they are all fleeing towards the capital, and this subject believes that hundreds of thousands of disaster victims need these silver taels more than the hundred thousand soldiers at the border.”

After Lin Jing finished speaking, sounds of agreement rose and fell.

Zhou Leping clenched his fist, the smile on his face could not be held back any longer.

Lin Jing continued, ”Among these hundreds of thousands of victims, many of them are the parents and family of the soldiers of the border, General needs to know that water can carry boats, and the people are water, the Sovereign is the boat, which is which is light, General should be able to weigh it clearly, right?”

Zhou Leping really wanted to fiercely punch him in the face. The military pay had been delayed for two years, wasn't he afraid of the soldiers revolting?

Without them in the front bathing and fighting bravely to kill the enemy, would an old man like him be able to talk back?

Zhao Deng stood by her side, afraid that she would say or do something out of line to make him fail, quietly pulling on her sleeve, ”This old thing is purposely provoking you, you better not be fooled.”

This time, she was obedient and didn't fall for the trap, but she did it in an aggrieved manner.

The military salary was a huge problem. As long as she could not raise any money, she would not be able to sleep until the next day. She had a headache from settling accounts in the middle of the night, so she brought wine to the courtyard to cool the wind.

Zhu Guanliang also couldn't sleep, it was inconvenient for him to go down to the fields during the day, so he only came out at night to take a walk.

She sat in the pavilion, one leg crossed over the stone bench, leaning on her head, humming a song.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a nursery rhyme.

Shame, dig, you say, wave, he put out his hand.

It didn't sound like a tune, but it was still quite loud.

When she was done, she scratched her hair and drank.

Without warning, Zhu Guanliang suddenly spoke out from behind her, ”You want to use the wine to dispel your worries?”

Zhou Leping turned his head. Seeing that it was him, he could not help but hold onto the bottle of wine in his hands.

”Why are you out wandering when you haven't slept in the middle of the night? ”You've recovered from your injuries?”

”This is exactly what I wanted to ask the general. Who gave you permission to drink? ”

”I need permission to drink? My injury is already fine, you should just take care of yourself. ”

Zhu Guanliang covered his waist and walked slowly, but he was not in a rush, he slowly walked to the front of her and sat down, ”It's more worrisome to drink, if the general is unable to sleep, I have a sleeping pill for the general.”

”There's no need. Even if you apply the medicine, I would still be able to wake up.”

Since she said that, then Zhu Guanliang should ask her why she was worried.

She waited for a long time, but he didn't come. She looked over and saw that he was looking up at the stars.
