Chapter 878

At that moment, Cheng Cen knew that she could gain a foothold, otherwise after her grandfather passed away, she would completely become an ordinary woman in the Marquis's Mansion. Now Cheng Cen is not only Chen Tianxiao's house, but also one of his wisdom teams.

Cheng Cen was standing in front of the window and looking at the white banners in the courtyard. Chen Tianxiao came in. He was still wearing armor and sweating at the end. A maid came in with an ice cube. Cheng Cen looked surprised. Can he get ice cubes here?

Chen Tianxiao was not happy that there was someone in the house. Cheng Cen discovered that Chen Tianxiao did not care about beauty, and women were just a thing for him.

This person has great ambitions and is a character.

The maid went out, Chen Tianxiao closed the door and stared at Cheng Cen: "Did you arrange the people in the mansion?"

Cheng Cen knew that he was talking about hanging white banners. Not only that, she was also wearing a plain dress today. Although it was not a filial piety uniform, the shallow blue was extremely light, with no rouge on her head, and no hairpin rings on her head.

"The Marquis calmed down, the court's eyes and ears are still here, and the superficial skill still needs to be done." Cheng Cen said calmly: "Although the letters to the capital were written by me and replaced the original content, only half true and half false can make that person not suspicious."

"I have already told the Marquis that my Majesty knows my ability to imitate other people's handwriting." Cheng Cen said, and walked over to wipe the sweat on Chen Tianxiao's forehead: "It's only half true and half false, your Majesty is suspicious by nature."

Wu'an Hou was nominally the eldest son of the Chen family, and the queen was his legitimate sister. If his legitimate sister died, he would lose the population if he acted too coldly. After all, it was a national funeral, and the two of them would hold the handle.

The two so-called governors actually lived in the Marquis' Mansion. When they first came, they learned to endure. They pointed at them without coming up, saying that they had just come to Beiguan and were not used to the water and soil here, and wanted to stay with the Marquis.

After a while, he stayed in the Marquis' Mansion and stopped leaving. Chen Tianxiao followed the boat and kept them there, but he had some thoughts.

These two Yuan Emperor's watchdogs are much better under their noses than outside. They keep in mind in time, and even their messages can be cut off in time. Cheng Cen then replaces other content. Until now, the two of them don't know what they have done.

In Chen Tianxiao's opinion, these two supervisors were actually quite adept, and they did not make any moves in the army. Perhaps they knew that the strong dragon could not defeat the local snake and could lose their lives at any time in Beiguan. However, the supervisors have never been killed, and if they die, they will be investigated.

"You are very careful." Chen Tianxiao felt that this relationship was not bad. Not to mention her past experience, she was born in the Cheng family, full of poetry and literature, and although her appearance was not good, she was considered to be of high quality. The children she gave birth to must not be bad.

When I think of the child, I have to think of Chen Boyuan. Chen Tianxiao didn’t know the truth, and this account was firmly recorded on Emperor Yuan.

"The Marquis was joking. What I said to the Marquis before was all my heart. Since I was marrying into the Chen family, I must plan for the future of the Chen family. In addition to giving birth to a legitimate son, I also want to see that the Marquis do not have to be deceived by His Majesty and worry about military supplies every year."

The inability to raise the army independently was always Chen Tianxiao's pain point. Cheng Cen knew that Chen Tianxiao had no affection for Empress Chen, because Emperor Yuan was even more uninterested in the national mourning. Her arrangement today was a bit like a slap in her foot.

"The old man of the Chen family once thought about looking for a mine to support the army, but before he could succeed, he let His Majesty discover it, and prompted His Majesty to attack the Chen family early." Chen Tianxiao told him the truth when he thought that Chen Ci could not hide it, and he was amused.

Chen Ci naturally would not be so kind-hearted. He also had to help him find a mine at the risk of rebellion. He was afraid that he wanted to help him first, then help Xiao Lingzhao and even reach the highest position by himself. Unfortunately, Emperor Yuan was not easy to fool.

The search for mine failed, but the male men of the Chen family were far away from the official career, which was not worth the loss.

In fact, Chen Tianxiao was also doing the mining search and gained some small gains, but this move was slow to take effect and took a long time. He couldn't wait. Cheng Cen's words aroused his worries, and the expression on his face immediately became cold.

"Candle can't stand both ends of burning. The military supplies of Zhenbei Army are indeed very expensive, but the Ministry of War and Ministry of Revenue above have to be deducted layer by layer. In the end, the ones sent here always shrink. In fact, I have a way to do it."

Cheng Cen has always had a big idea, but there are good solutions from time to time. Chen Tianxiao suppressed his desire to be angry: "Say."

"I didn't know the specific situation of Beiguan before. After I came, I realized that it was Beiguan and the border between Dongyue and Beimo. Although the two armies had not officially started a war, they kept minor frictions and would attack from time to time, and both were injured."

Although he was injured, he was not killed. Chen Tianxiao thought of this as she said, and his eyes raised slightly: "You mean?"

"According to the regulations of the East Vietnam, if there are soldiers who have fallen in battle, the court needs to pay the money," Cheng Cen said: "The soldiers in the North Desert are arrogant and fond of fighting. If so, it is reasonable for our army to suffer casualties. But this money is given according to the head."

Even if a list of dead soldiers is created, these people will not be used again after using them, and the total number of troops will still be reduced, which will affect the normal allocation of military supplies. If you want to get more money from the court, you will need to make up the number of people.

If Qin Feng was there, he would give Cheng Cen a more professional statement - to earn a salary.

If you falsely report more people in the army, more people will also need to receive military pay. In fact, you will get the money you receive. Chen Tianxiao has actually used this trick.

However, Cheng Cen took a step further on his basis, first taking military pay and then taking compensation for the death. The compensation for the death was quite considerable, and both ends were eaten! It was used to quickly fill the private treasury of the Hou Mansion!

This woman is even stronger than he thought, her heart is even more cruel, and she doesn't even let go of the value of a dead person.

"It is indeed not common to falsely report a job for empty wages, but if you can take advantage of the death of the battle, it will be considered a lie to me. Besides, there are military conscripts every year, and this trick is unsatisfactory." Cheng Cen said: "The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue have been taking the cheap price for so many years. It's time to spit it out."

Cheng Cen's words were a bit sarcastic. Why is the treasury empty? It's not because of the people below. If there are too many countermeasures below, even if they vomit, they will be vomited out, rather than the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War.

Chen Tianxiao looked at Cheng Cen. This woman's mind was much more useful than that of an ordinary woman. The thing in his eyes was that the white banner was hung in the mansion: "Forget it, just make some face, even though the emperor is far away, there are still people in the mansion."
