Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

And these brothel girls here, due to identity issues, naturally dare not keep the dragon seed of that old boy Zhao Ji secretly.

So and so, over time.

Under the various tortures of those brothel girls, their yang energy leaked out, their kidneys were weak and their bodies were weak, so that they could not give birth to a son or a half for a long time.

It seems to make sense!

No wonder my waist always feels so sore!

It turns out that it was all the evil consequences that old boy Zhao Ji had planted for me before!

Hey……

That crooked old guy Zhao Ji is trying to trick me!

At this moment, Zhao Ji felt more helpless the more he thought about it.

When looking at the women around them, there was also a lot of disgust in their eyes.

I, Zhao Ji, don’t have that old boy’s vulgar habits!

He doesn't care for the large number of good women in the palace, but he only loves this kind of ruined beauty!

Tonight, even if I sleep alone until dawn, I have no interest in doing that kind of flirting with such a woman.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji took advantage of the situation and waved his hands gently to the group of slutty women:

"I'm tired."

"You all go down."

"Tonight, no one is needed to sleep with me."

Those dissolute brothel girls couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief when they saw that today's official family of the Song Dynasty was so abnormal.

You must know that in the past, if these sisters did not beg for mercy repeatedly, the officials of the Song Dynasty would not let them go easily.

Although it is a bit hard to serve the official family, when I talk to other sisters, I feel quite proud.

But today, it has become like this?

Although the women in the brothel were reluctant to give up, now that Zhao Ji had spoken, how could they dare to stay here.

At this moment, everyone looked at Zhao Ji who was lying on the bed with complicated expressions. After saying a blessing ceremony, they hurriedly left the room.

At this moment, Zhao Ji looked at this empty house.

For a moment, I had mixed feelings.

He wanted to scold that old boy Zhao Ji, but then he suddenly felt that there was no point in doing those things now?

After all, he had done it many, many times before.

But the result, apart from making him even more depressed, really had no benefit.

Zhao Ji was lying on the bed. After tossing and turning for a long time, he wanted to fall asleep as soon as possible.

After all, I have to get up early to go to court tomorrow morning.

But sometimes, people are like this.

The more I want to sleep, the more I can't sleep.

The more you think about, the more you think.

In the end, Zhao Ji simply stopped sleeping.

After simply packing up his belongings, he planned to leave here and return to the palace.

After all, if it were early tomorrow morning, Eunuch Sheng wouldn't be able to see him.

Then there will definitely be trouble.

Zhao Ji originally wanted to say goodbye to Mother Li, but now looking at the entire Fan Building, where can he find the figure of Mother Li?

With a look of helplessness on his face, Zhao Ji had no choice but to go to Fan Lou's backyard alone again.

After lighting the candle that had been placed by the well, Zhao Ji slowly climbed into the dry well.

When Zhao Ji passed through this secret passage and returned to Shangshu's room again.

At this time, it has already arrived in the second half of the night.

The fatigue in his brain no longer allowed Zhao Ji to return to the palace.

As soon as he stretched out his arms, he lay down on the desk in the study room and fell asleep soundly.

When the sky is getting brighter.

After searching everywhere for a long time, Eunuch Sheng finally discovered the trace of Zhao Ji.

So, he quickly called to the serving maids who were still in the palace to help Zhao Ji put on court clothes.

And followed all the way, with Zhao Ji's slightly frivolous body, to the Jinluan Palace.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials had been standing quietly in the middle of the hall, waiting for Zhao Ji to come to court.

Because Zhao Ji didn't sleep much last night, the only thing he was thinking about now was...

If there is nothing else to do in this morning's court, then let's leave the court as soon as possible.

If I can do this, then I can sleep a little longer when I go back.

But sometimes it's like this. The more a person thinks about something, the less he thinks about it.

Just when Zhao Ji wanted to wink to Eunuch Sheng who was standing aside and ask him to hurry up and announce the dispersal of the court...

Taiwei Su Yuan Jingsu, who was standing third in the row of civil servants, slowly walked out of the queue.

Facing Zhao Ji, who was sitting at the top, he bowed down with great respect:

"Report to the official family, the humble minister has his own original intention to report."

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows.

He glanced at Su Yuanjing, who was kneeling under the imperial steps, with a slightly puzzled look.

When he hesitated a little, there was also a trace of dissatisfaction on his face:

"Su Aiqing, what's the matter?"

As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, Eunuch Sheng, who was standing aside, hurriedly walked down the imperial steps.

He took a memorial from Su Yuanjing's hand.

Then it was quickly presented to Zhao Ji.

While Zhao Ji was reading the memorial, Su Yuanjing, who was standing under the imperial steps, also slowly said what he wanted to report:

"We are reporting to the officials that the forces of bandits such as Jiangnan La, Huaixi Wang Qing, and Hebei Tianhu have become increasingly rampant in the above-mentioned areas in recent days."

"Not only do we have more than ten thousand thieves in our hands, but our behavior is also much more arrogant than before."

"Every county in the surrounding area is harassed by these gangs of bandits."

"Although now, there is no report saying that these groups of thieves have the intention to attack the city and seize the territory."

"But if you let it go over time."

"According to Wei Chen's prediction, serious trouble will definitely occur in those three places!"

"So Wei Chen believes that the imperial court must plan a response as soon as possible."

Zhao Ji frowned slightly and nodded slightly.

In his heart, he also agreed with Su Yuanjing's statement.

The power of these groups of thieves is still small now.

There are only more than [-] traitors under his command.

If you don't care about it now, it will be extremely difficult to deal with it later.

You know, in its heyday, Fangla not only had territory in 52 counties in eight states.

The number of troops under his command reached more than [-].

And what about Wang Qing from Huaixi and Tian Hu from Hebei?

Perhaps in terms of strength, it is still slightly weaker than Fang La.

However, the number of soldiers and horses under his command is still hundreds of thousands.

But if now, the imperial army is sent to conquer.

Let’s not talk about whether it can be effective or not. After all, after so many years of suppression that focused more on civil service than military force, the combat effectiveness of the imperial army was also very weak.

Cai Jing's faction will inevitably intervene.

And then once again stabilized the military power of their faction.

This will be extremely detrimental to my future purge of the court.

And now, even if I want to send troops to fight.

In terms of silver expenditure, it was also a very serious problem for the Song Dynasty at this time.

After all, if there are fewer soldiers and horses sent out by then, then in all likelihood, they will not be able to win.

What if more troops and horses are sent?

Then the troops, horses, food and wages needed will definitely not be small.

I previously received gold and silver jewelry worth nearly 10 taels from Cheng Wanli.

After sending Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Wu Song and others to the northeast to provide disaster relief, another 35 taels were left.

A few days ago, I got nearly 70 taels of silver from selling geothermal systems.

What if we add all these silver coins together?

The total number should probably be more than 110 taels.

Such an amount of silver seems to be a lot.

But the expenditures over these days are also quite huge.

One is that 50 taels need to be returned to the queen.

As for the monthly salary of officials, they have to be paid in recent days.

Even though the amount of silver required is not much, according to statistics, it is probably tens of thousands of taels.

Coupled with the geothermal systems made by officials from the Ministry of Industry.

The cost also costs money.

This time, by selling the geothermal system, I also earned a lot of money from civil and military officials.

So should we also give certain material rewards to those officials of the Ministry of Industry who have made meritorious services?

After all, after this, I will still have to rely on those officials from the Ministry of Industry to build a steam engine for me.

In order for those officials from the Ministry of Industry to work harder and be more motivated while making steam engines for me.

Then this reward expenditure is probably indispensable.

The cost of the geothermal system plus the silver taels of the reward must be at least more than [-] taels.

Apart from these, I'm afraid it's not enough.
