Eunuch Hou was sweating coldly as he listened. He thought to himself that this boy was really not afraid of tigers. There were so many questions that the big men in the army did not dare to ask. Qin Hao actually dared to question Emperor Qing directly to his face.

However, Emperor Qing was not angry but sighed.

"Does Qin Aiqing know how many troops there are in Nanqing?"

"It's one million. If all military pay is fully paid, half of Qing's annual taxes won't be enough to support you. I know you want to do a good job, but the treasury can't change the money."

If it were placed on others, Emperor Qing would definitely have died down just because he had spoken so much. However, Qin Hao did not intend to go back in such a dejected manner. There was no joke in the army. He had just established a little prestige and would not make trouble.

If you make some noise, how can you convince others when you go back?

"Your Majesty, the treasury cannot produce any money. What if the Army and Horses Division raises its own funds?"

Emperor Qing was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "If you let the soldiers and horses exploit the people..."

"If this is the case, your majesty can severely punish you according to the national laws if you have your own imperial censor, and I will not even frown." Qin Hao cupped his hands and said.

Emperor Qing looked at Qin Hao with great interest after hearing this: "Oh, can you still conjure money out of thin air?"

"Please give me three months, Your Majesty, and you will find out after three months."

"You're still cheating on me, well, after three months, I want to see how you can make money."

After Qin Hao left, Emperor Qing suddenly smiled: "This guy is a bit interesting."

Seeing that Emperor Qing was not angry, Eunuch Hou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and echoed with a smile: "Commander Qin is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers, he is just a little reckless."

"Oh? Do you really think he is reckless?"

Eunuch Hou looked confused. He decided to lift the lid on his first day in office. Wasn't it reckless?

"You were deceived by this kid. If he was reckless, how could you let me give him three months to raise his own salary?"

"Speaking of which, I'm really curious about how he could raise this salary without exploiting the people."

When Eunuch Hou saw Emperor Qing getting up, he quickly prepared to follow him, but heard him say something in a low voice.

"Eunuch Hou, do you think that all the princes in this dynasty are too old?"

Eunuch Hou was so frightened that he almost squatted on the ground.

........

After coming out of the palace, Qin Hao returned to the Army and Horses Division camp, and walked into the commander's tent under the expectant eyes of all the soldiers.

"Looking at it like this, Commander Qin didn't ask for any money, right?"

"Oh, I should have thought of it a long time ago, but Commander Qin can't be blamed for this. The Forbidden Army also owes them money."

"If Commander Qin has such a heart, I will be very satisfied."

It wasn't until lunch time that Qin Hao came to the kitchen with a stack of paper.

"Brothers, I went to the palace today, but His Majesty said that the court was in trouble and could not come up with the money..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sigh from the scene.

However, Qin Hao changed the subject next.

"The imperial court is in trouble, but I can't watch my brothers live a hard life. What should I do?"

As he spoke, Qin Hao unfolded the rice paper in his hand and asked the quartermaster to read it.

The contents on Qin Hao's paper are all in vernacular. Although many of the soldiers are illiterate, they can understand it. However, some new terms pop up from time to time, which makes them look confused. Whenever this time, Qin Hao will

Stand up and explain.

When the quartermaster finished reading everything on the rice paper, the soldiers on the scene started talking about it.

"Will this work?"

"I think it's okay. We don't exploit the people. The money comes from a legitimate source and we can collect it with peace of mind."

"Others are fine, but I'm afraid of provoking those dandies..."

"I'm afraid of a ball. The commander-in-chief has said that anyone who resists the law will be caught. If anything happens, he will bear it."

Turning around, the people of the capital discovered that wooden signs had been erected on every street, with notices posted on them.

"In order to maintain the public order and image of the capital, from now on, all shops are not allowed to set up stalls on the streets. Violators will be fined five taels of silver. All mobile vendors are not allowed to set up stalls at will. Vendors must be in designated areas and obtain permits before setting up stalls.

......."

"No carriages are allowed to be parked at will. Violators will be fined two taels of silver. The city will plan a parking area for carriages. All carriages must be parked in designated areas..."

"No one is allowed to litter randomly. Violators will be fined ten cents of silver. They are not allowed to dump feces into ponds or rivers. Violators will be subject to three days of hard labor to clean the rivers..."

Soon, the contents on these noticeboards became a topic of conversation for people in the capital.

"Is this military commander obsessed with money? Is he fined silver for anything he does?"

"You don't know yet, don't you? There is a new commander in the Army and Horse Division. He is obviously here to plunder the people's wealth and anointing."
