    After returning to the palace, Liu Deng began to get busy again. After the spring, the emperor would come to represent the country. The emperor always paid the most attention to appearance when he went on tour. The renovation of the palace should also be put on the agenda.

    In addition, there are the resettlement of meritorious soldiers, the rebuilding of Mo Dao Army, the compensation for fallen soldiers, and all kinds of things are complicated.

    In the days when he was lazy, officials at all levels had listed all the things that needed to be prepared. After all the preparations were completed, Liu Deng discovered that for the compensation of fallen soldiers, all the budgets were added to  It was only 30,000 guan at the same time.

    The total number of soldiers killed in the Mo Dao Army this time was nearly 1,400. If you calculate it this way, one life is only twenty damn

    ¡°Come here, go find me the lieutenant!¡±

    Liu Deng¡¯s face was ugly. Such a warrior who had served the country so well, but what happened behind them was so simple.

    A living life can only be exchanged for twenty copper coins in the end, and then a title that is neither important nor important. Although the family has indeed received the benefits of tax reduction, what should the orphans and widows left behind have to do with it?  How to live?

    Liu Deng felt his conscience aching. If things continue like this, who else would dare to contribute to the country

    "No!"

    Seeing the king's gloomy expression, the guards around him didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurried to the Lieutenant's Mansion to summon Wu Guoxiang to come.

    "Did your Majesty say what happened?"

    After hearing the king¡¯s summons, Wu Guoxiang felt a good premonition. Could it be that he had made some mistake again?

    Ever since the weapons inspection incident happened, he has always felt that he was ignored by the king. Especially during this expedition, he, the lieutenant, was not able to accompany him. Even Tian Chong went to the battlefield to plate.  A layer of gold, but he could only silently bury his head among the documents in Jinyang City. How could this make him feel less uneasy?

    In desperation, he could only reach out and take out a piece of gold barley from his arms, then quietly put it into the guard's hand, and asked carefully.

    "The king didn't say anything, but the king's face looked a little unsightly. Mr. Wu was still a little prepared in his heart"

    After collecting the money, the guard looked around to make sure there was no one around, then lowered his voice and said to Wu Guoxiang.

    ¡°In that case, please wait for me here for a moment, I¡¯ll get a document and we¡¯ll leave right now. It just so happens that I also have a document here that I want to show to the king!¡±

    With the excuse of getting paperwork, Wu Guoxiang returned to the back hall. After carefully recalling what he had done recently, he confirmed that there were no mistakes. Then he took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and followed the guards to the palace.

    "Sir Lieutenant, was this document issued by your Lieutenant's Mansion?"

    Liu Deng looked gloomy and spoke directly before Wu Guoxiang saluted.

    "Back to Your Majesty, this document was indeed issued by the Lieutenant's Mansion. This is in accordance with previous practices. Does Your Majesty think there is anything wrong?"

    After glancing at the things on the table, Wu Guoxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. This document was completely compliant and reasonable. He checked it three times before handing it in. There shouldn't be any flaws, right?

    "Is a human life worth twenty dollars?"

    Liu Deng said with a gloomy expression.

    "Reporting to your Majesty, the rewards that should be paid out are distributed separately, but the death pension is, according to convention, twenty guan"

    After talking for a long time, it turned out that it was because of this, but this was indeed decided by the great ancestor Liu Bang. Over the years, the army has always done it this way. The rewards for the army have been distributed, and everything is done according to the process.  There shouldn't be anything wrong with it

    "The soldiers of the Mo Dao Army fought bloody battles this time. It is a blessing for our country to have such warriors. As a king, I cannot let them cry for their families one by one after they have devoted their loyalty to the country! Pass the order.  , all the pensions for fallen soldiers will be treated as one hundred pensions for ordinary soldiers starting this time, and for meritorious officers, they will be stacked according to the rules!"

    Liu Deng¡¯s hands were shaking for a long time. Although he also knew that if he did this, he might be severely stabbed in his wallet, but he still could not feel at ease like other princes and kings.

    "Your Majesty, if you do this, you will be impeached by the imperial censor"

    Of course Wu Guoxiang also knew that this was the king's good intention, but doing so really broke the rules of the court.

    You represent the countryNow that you have done this, how do you want the court and other vassal states to deal with it?

    "Let them talk what they like. I am also a descendant of the ancestors. Is it possible that they treat the soldiers harshly and I have to join them in their evil deeds? If anyone is not willing, let him come to me at the beacon outside Yanmen Pass.  Become a garrison!"

    Liu Deng didn¡¯t give Wu Guoxiang a chance to continue. He slammed the table, glared, and roared angrily.

    "No!"

    Wu Guoxiang shrank his neck. He also had good intentions, but he didn't expect Liu Deng's reaction to be so big. In desperation, he could only respond.

    "You should hurry up and take care of this matter. There is also the matter of rebuilding the Modao Army. The Lieutenant's Office must work together on this matter. Whether you want people or things, give them what you want! The Modao Army must be rebuilt!"

    "Reporting to your Majesty, this matter has already been taken care of. As well as the war horses you brought back, apart from some of the horses being kept as stallions in the newly built racecourse, please tell me what to do with the rest of the horses now!"

    Liu Deng then remembered that the training of cavalry troops had not been officially put on the agenda until now. It turned out that Dai State did have some cavalry, but these people were basically a group of infantry on horseback.

    Not only are the fighting methods old, but even the soldiers' tactical literacy is far different from that of the Huns. If they were actually encountered in the wild, I'm afraid they would be killed by the same number of Huns cavalry in just a few encounters.

    "I have already taken care of this matter. Our country should indeed have a cavalry unit of its own. You go back and prepare first. Post the recruitment notice to me first. The commander of this cavalry will naturally be there in a few days.  Report to your place!¡±

    Although Liu Deng has not found a qualified cavalry commander so far, those Qiang people are just right and can be put to use first. First, teach those raw melon eggs how to ride. As for riding, shooting and combat, after all, it cannot be done overnight.  Completed.

    After Wu Guoxiang left, Liu Deng began to have a headache again. After all, he still had no one under his command, but this talent was not like a leek in the field. After one harvest, there would be another one. Where could he find a qualified cavalry general?  Woolen cloth?
