Chapter 574 A Piece of Fish

The red candle burned out and the sky was bright. Su Mianyue, who had been tormented for the whole night, had no strength to get up. Ji Xun, on the other hand, was dressed up with vigor.

Although Ji Xun really wanted to stay and sleep with Su Mianyue, once he stopped going to court on the second day of the wedding, it would definitely attract negative comments about Su Mianyue.

Perhaps those who dared not speak up would use this as an excuse to impeach, not to mention there were so many vassals watching, Ji Xun could not bet on Su Mianyue's reputation.

Perhaps because the emperor was newly married, or because the vassals were all in Capital City, there were fewer discordant voices in the early court today.

Only Ministry of Revenue officials were reporting yesterday's revenue from the treasury, and judging by their bruises, they knew that they must have been checking the data overnight, but the excitement on their faces was obvious.

For the first time in many years, the Ministry of Revenue had experienced a state where the treasury was no longer empty and almost non-existent, and did not have to worry that they would not even dare to fart when the country was in trouble.

However, Su Mianyue's dowry had not been fully stockpiled, and Ministry of Revenue officials did not dare to predict how much more gold, silver and food would be stockpiled, but they were all thinking that the more the better. Now that the Yan Country is in full swing, with these things, it can last a year and a half in peacetime, and even war can last a quarter.

Ji Xun listened calmly to the reports of the Ministry of Revenue officials, but his eyes swept over all the courtiers and vassals. Seeing their different expressions, he was happy and disdainful at the same time. Those who opposed Su Mianyue now could not even raise their heads.

Su Mianyue had given Ji Xun his information before, so he knew roughly how much gold, silver and grain Su Mianyue had prepared for the treasury this time, but he did not want the officials to know the answer in advance, so he stepped back and said: "With the help of the other five officials at least of the third grade and above, and the distribution of the pensions for the dead and disabled soldiers as soon as possible, the previous proposals on the issue of si nong should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Within three days, give me a satisfactory constructive proposal and withdraw from the dprk."

Ji Xun's words caused a headache for all six officials. They had many things on their hands, and now they had another job. However, they were not good at it. How could they satisfy the emperor?

Now that zuo xiang had returned to his hometown due to his serious illness, the right xiang, who was the top official in the dynasty, was immediately surrounded by civil officials and asked what to do next.

"Since the emperor has a verbal order, all your colleagues should just follow the holy will. Now that you don't lack the financial resources and physics, are you still afraid of doing something bad?" The right-hand side practiced tai chi in speech, seemingly to reassure everyone, but in fact, he did not say anything.

In the whispers of the crowd, the right-hand man had left first with the Ministry of Revenue officials to discuss something in a low voice.

He also had a dark eye on the matter of si nong. There was no suggestion, but there were a few poor officials in the imperial court who might be able to give some effective suggestions.

The right-hand man was now one of Ji Xun's most important courtiers. He knew that he was trying to guess the holy will, and these poor officials would be the main target of support in the future. He had to pull one or two together first so that they could support each other.

Ji Xun did not return directly to the harem, but went to the imperial study to meet Yuan Shaoqiu.

But on the way, she also asked Su Mianyue about her condition. When she heard that Su Mianyue was breastfeeding Little Prince, Ji Xun regretted that she shouldn't have been so affectionate last night, but the love was so strong that she couldn't control it.

Since the matter was confidential, Ji Xun met Yuan Shaoqiu in the secret room.

"Good for you. You came back to my wedding on the day of the wedding. Aren't you afraid that it's too late?" Ji Xun punched Yuan Shaoqiu in the chest and heard yuan shaoqiu snort. He frowned and asked, "Are you hurt?"

"No problem, it's just a flesh wound." Yuan Shaoqiu chuckled and changed the subject, "If I want to invite you to a wedding in a few days, I can't go wrong with your wedding. Otherwise, you'll make a scene and I won't be able to marry my wife."

"Are you getting married?" Ji Xun was stunned for a moment, then patted Yuan Shaoqiu on the shoulder, "Could it be a beauty from the Yulin?"

"How do you know?" Yuan shaoqiu asked with his mouth open.

This next time, ji xun put on a'don't look who I am' attitude and sat down together with Yuan Shaoqiu on his shoulder. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the other party's identity? Are you sure it's reliable?"

"I thought you could figure it out. I didn't know who it was," yuan shaoqiu snorted.

"It can't be one of those sisters, can it?" Ji Xun asked in a daze. After Yuan Shaoqiu left, danzhu and the Don Joo sisters also disappeared. Ji Xun guessed something from Yuan Shaoqiu's tone.

"Wrong, two." Yuan Shaoqiu said triumphantly, "The sisters are so close that they can't be separated. I can only take advantage of the situation and accept them. Fortunately, they won't compete for favor. Otherwise, I will have a hard time in the future."

"You're a good boy after getting a bargain." Ji Xun laughed out loud. This time, without asking whether it was reliable or not, Su Mianyue's people must be trustworthy, so he asked, "Say it, what other great gains this time besides getting the beauty back?"

"You guessed right. The headquarters of that group of mysterious people is in the Yulin. Nowadays, the Yulin seems to be rich, but in fact, the people are poor. The people have been brainwashed and listen to those people's commands. The court is simply living in name and dying in reality, and the people have been controlled for a long time. Many people are already immortal."

Speaking of business, Yuan Shaoqiu immediately straightened his posture. Seeing Ji Xun frown, he said, "Don't believe me. Although it's a bit exaggerated, these people's bodies can't be broken unless they have strong internal strength. Ordinary soldiers can't do anything about them. Fortunately, there are no disadvantages."

"Drawback?" Ji Xun raised his eyebrows again. These two words might be the key to peace in the world.

Yuan Shaoqiu knew what was important, so he didn't try to keep a secret, "These people need to keep taking medicine to keep king kong's body, and these herbs are extremely rare. According to my investigation, the chances of survival of the herbs planted in the Yulin kingdom are very low, so not all people can take medicine. Only those with strange bones and suitable training will be selected. Once they stop taking the medicine for more than a month, their body functions will drop. The light ones will be weaker than the normal ones, and the heavy ones will be in danger of their lives."

"Then did you find out that the herbs came from other sources than the Yulin?" Ji Xun asked.

Yuan Shaoqiu shook his head helplessly, "I only found out that their source was broken. As for where they got the source, they couldn't find it at all. This is their core secret."

"If those medicine men keep taking medicine, is it impossible to defeat them?" Ji xun calmed down and added, "I mean there's no other way to defeat them than those with deep internal strength?"

"Yes, but it's a big sacrifice. You have to sacrifice at least ten ordinary people to kill one person." Yuan Shaoqiu frowned and told Ji Xun about an experiment he had witnessed.

Before Ji Xun could say a word, he said angrily, "Those people are simply inhumane. They keep experimenting to perfect the medicine man, but they don't treat them as human beings. Once they use these medicine men on the battlefield, it will be a bloody war. Unfortunately, the people of the neighboring countries have been brainwashed. They just think that the current superior will lead them to glory. I don't believe they're just pieces of fish."
