Lu Chen has always been very cautious when it comes to cooperating with the military.
It's not that I'm afraid of anything, it's just that there's no need to be.
He has now established a firm foothold in Da Qi, so there is no need to cause himself more trouble.
The main reason why he finally agreed was that he was such a kind person.
What these military personnel said is right. They defend the country and guard the borders, and they eat sand in the frontier areas. They have no time to take care of their children at home. If this continues, there will definitely be fewer and fewer talented people among military families.
This directly determines the quality and quality of Da Qi's future soldiers. Lu Chen feels that he cannot ignore it.
Because whether it is foreign trade or lending to neighboring countries, there needs to be a prerequisite, that is, a strong army.
If you don't have a strong army to back you up, and foreigners refuse to pay you, you won't have any patience at all.
There are even some aliens with mental problems who think you are too weak. Why should I borrow money from you? I will just defeat you directly, and everything you have will be mine!
Therefore, military construction cannot be vague. Lu Chen even has a vague idea in his mind. He decided to wait and see how to proceed.
First, agree to give the military some quotas. This kind of thing can be done in advance to see how others react.
As for why some strong and durable ones are necessary, it is naturally because some experiments have certain risks, and if it is really not possible, these people are really needed.
There is no such thing as taking advantage without paying anything in return. If we make an exception and let you in, then you have to pay more than others, which is reasonable.
Besides, Lu Chen still remembered that a big shot in the military had caused trouble for him before, and finally pushed the Marquis of Huaiyin to take the blame.
At that time, Lu Chen did not continue to care about this matter because he was not strong enough, so he could only choose to keep quiet.
But now it’s different. His strength is expanding rapidly at a speed that others can’t understand. He feels that now is the time to settle the score with that old guy.
So the news that Lu Chen had taken in some children from the military was spread out on the same day, and immediately the attention of the entire Da Qi upper echelons was once again focused on the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Many people want to know what Lu Chen is doing and why he suddenly got in touch with the military?
Wei Yong found Lu Chen that night, and the two talked for a long time in the study. It is said that a fierce quarrel broke out between them.
Finally, Wei Yong left Lu Chen's study with a gloomy face, and after returning home, he took a ten-day sick leave.
Wei Yong's bizarre behavior left many people confused, and they had to suspend their original plans.
Nowadays, the entire Da Qi and even the surrounding countries have a clear view that Lu Chen should either not make trouble or, if he starts to make trouble, the noise will definitely not stop and may even change the situation in the surrounding areas.
The next day, Li Mingyue was called into the palace. She did not come out until the evening. Two carriages accompanied her back to the princess's mansion. It was said that they were all filled with pregnancy-maintaining medicines given by His Majesty the Emperor.
To others, the emperor's action was intended to appease Lu Chen.
Many people speculated that Lu Chen suddenly did this because he was dissatisfied with Li Zhuo's closeness to Yangxuzi.
After hearing this news, Yangxuzi burst into laughter. The eldest prince beside him was very puzzled and asked, "Why is the Immortal Master laughing?"
"I laughed at that kid Lu Chen, but I thought he was a gloomy person before!"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"I was just discussing some more techniques of longevity with His Majesty, but I didn't expect that kid Lu Chen to lose his patience and make such stupid moves. Do you think I overestimated him before?"
The eldest prince pondered for a moment and said, "Master, do you think Lu Chen shouldn't have any contact with the military?"
"That's natural. Since ancient times, which emperor didn't regard military power as more important than anything else? Lu Chen has really touched your Majesty's reverse scale."
"But the emperor clearly rewarded him, didn't he?"
"This is the wisdom of Your Majesty. It is not the right time to deal with Lu Chen now. His existence is indeed very important to Da Qi. But if Lu Chen can be replaced, then Your Majesty will never allow such a person to continue to exist."
After hearing these words, the eldest prince said excitedly: "This is the legendary "don't seek death, you won't die, right! Once Lu Chen loses power, Xiaoyao won't be a concern anymore!"
"Humph, I originally thought Lu Chen and Wei Yong were in the same group, but now it seems that their relationship is just like that. Or maybe they just broke up because of this incident."
"That's great! This is really great! Wei Yong has always been wary of me. With him in the court, I can't use many of my tactics. Now that he's on sick leave, we must seize the opportunity and use this time to place our people in important positions!"
"Okay, I'll contact them now and have them take action immediately!"
Just as Yangxuzi and the eldest prince were plotting these things, Wei Yongzheng returned home and ate his meal with a grim expression on his face.
At this time, Wei Cai'er and Madam Wei walked in from outside. Seeing Wei Yong with a sour face, they looked at each other. Madam Wei stepped forward and said, "Master, didn't you go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences? Why are you back?"
Wei Cai'er also hurried forward to pour wine for Wei Yong and said, "Yes, father, didn't Brother Lu invite you to have a meal there?"
"Humph, why are you still eating? I'm so angry!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Cai'er and Madam Wei felt a pang of anxiety in their hearts. It was obvious that the negotiations had broken down.
