Chapter 352: Money makes the world go round. The ancients were right!
General Lei Zhixin of Guide showed disdain on his face and let out a long "tsk——" sound.
In the past, when we asked this iron rooster for some military supplies, we would fail five out of ten times. For the remaining five times, we would always drag our feet and send people to investigate for a long time, and judge from various perspectives how much money they would need at least, for fear of paying them too much.
Now this man can actually take the initiative to propose attacking other countries...
The expenses required are as huge as water. If I hadn't heard that the two countries are so rich, I'm afraid I would have hidden in my quilt and cried for a long time!
Lei Zhixin uttered another disdainful "Haha".
Money can make the world go round. The ancients were right!
Jiao Hongmiao did not blush or feel nervous in the face of two consecutive taunts, and said passionately: "Our great Rui has strong soldiers and horses, and our national strength is strong. How can we allow the scoundrels of other countries to provoke us like this?!"
beat!
Must fight!!
This is an excuse that comes right to your doorstep!!
It’s a waste if you don’t fight!!!
Minister of Revenue Jiao Hongmiao clenched his fists in his heart and roared heartbreakingly.
Although the group of people who could hear the young man's inner voice did not dislike Jiao Hongmiao's flexible stance, their eyes lit up and they looked at Emperor Mingze who was sitting on the main seat with burning gazes.
"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Jiao said is absolutely right. If we allow this group of villains to stir up trouble in our Great Rui this time, there will definitely be evildoers from other countries who will follow suit in the future!"
"Your Majesty! This matter concerns the dignity of our country, Rui. You must not take it lightly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty—"
——The ministers, who were often constrained by insufficient funds, had green lights in their eyes and responded with voices.
Jiang Yanchuan raised his hand to suppress the noise in the room, and pressed his forehead twice with a headache.
The overlapping of several voices finally subsided, and the only sound left in the world was the little guy's screaming voice.
Just one person is worth thousands of troops.
[Ahhh, the uncles are right, that's what we have to do! We can't let go of those bad guys who came to bully us! ]
[Wuwuwu, why does Father seem... not interested?! Damn it, doesn't anyone know how rich those bad guys' families are?!]
[Let’s not talk about Xiliang. The burial objects hidden in any of the ancient tombs underground are three times as much as those in Yuntong Mountain. Not to mention the two large tombs near the Xiliang Dragon Vein. The treasures buried there are ten times more valuable than the burial objects in the mausoleums prepared by the previous emperor for himself!!]
Ten...ten times? ! !
Everyone present was breathing rapidly and wished they could kneel down on the spot and beg for troops!
They had all been fortunate enough to see with their own eyes the huge tomb that the previous emperor had prepared for him. The room was filled with gold, silver, jewels, and treasures that almost blinded their eyes. The money inside was enough to support the national needs of their Great Rui for a whole year!
“Your Majesty—”
Can we really not consider letting Xiliang cut in line? !
[Also, the group of people hiding in Zhiquan Road are spies sent by Pingxu State to gather information. They have been lurking here for half a year, and have been able to pass on information - huh?]
[Two letters of inquiry were sent back? ! ! ]
Jiang Yingcheng was simply stunned, and kept using his mind to scroll through the information on the screen: [Nothing else?! Is there really nothing else to send back?!]
After hiding in Da Rui for half a year, you haven't been able to find out any useful information?!
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes widened, and his dark pupils were filled with indignation at the low abilities of the two Pingxu Xizuos.
——Isn’t this too bad?!
With such little ability, why do you want to be a clerk? !
Wouldn't it be better to give the opportunity to someone more capable? ! !
Jiang Yingcheng curled up in the arms of her beautiful father, unconsciously finding a more comfortable position, and then sighed: [This is not a good reason to send troops, right? ]
After all, Dayui has always had trade with the surrounding countries. Fengjin County, as a famous and prosperous place in Dayui, has always been a place for traveling merchants to rest. It would be difficult to develop to the point of sending troops to fight with only two useless letters.
[But...] Jiang Yingcheng swallowed suspiciously, [Ping Xuguo is really rich, so rich——]
[Although their territory is small, they completely encompass the two gold mountains. Pingxu State was afraid that their actions would be too big and attract the covetousness of surrounding countries, so they have not mined for more than ten years since the discovery...]
[Wow! There are millions of taels of gold here. Isn't this the gold mountain that Cheng Cheng wants? ! ! ]
"!!!"
Over a million taels?
Over a million taels!!
The civil officials present suddenly rolled up their sleeves, revealing their thin arms without any muscle inside.
Your Majesty! If my army is overwhelmed, I can also go to the battlefield!
Jiang Yingcheng didn't notice the uproar on the field. In his little head, he was still thinking about how to justify his actions.
[How about... a little bit of luck? ]
[Emperor Darui's most beloved little princess was tricked by Pingxu Guoxi and was unconscious for more than three days. Emperor Mingze was furious and sent troops to attack. This can be considered a legitimate reason! ]
The Qingliu present: “!!!”
This is unacceptable!
"Your Majesty!" Minister of Rites Chu Jiaxu stood up suddenly, and in his excitement, even the table beside him shook twice. "I remember that Mr. Liu was very good at imitating other people's handwriting. If..."
The words stopped here at the right time. The deep meaning implied in it was understood by the old-timers who had been immersed in the court for many years.
——If they can’t find clear evidence, they can create “clear” evidence.
[Yes! It can be done this way! ]
[If the letter cannot be found in the hiding place of the spies, Uncle Lu can come forward and use threats, inducements, and torture to extract a confession. If they still refuse to confess, their arms can be broken with a stick. Then Master Liu can come forward and write a letter with crooked handwriting, saying that they are disabled but strong-willed, and they wrote it stubbornly despite their broken arms! ]
[When the time comes, we just need to exchange them for some drugs that can make them lose their voices, and they will be speechless! ]
Anyway, these people came with the intention of harming Da Rui, and Uncle Lu's methods of torturing them must have been much more severe than this idea, so she didn't need to have too much psychological burden!
——This is what Jiang Yingcheng, who had broken a bone before his rebirth and fully recovered later, thought.
Lu Yao: “…”
Qingliu at the scene: "..."
A confident smile froze on the corner of his lips, and everyone didn't know where to look for a moment.
no.
They didn't mean that?!
They just wanted to find a letter with that person's handwriting and copy it! !
How did a little kid become the violent gang he is today? ! !
The court officials who were unable to hear the young man's thoughts were puzzled. They could not understand why the situation had developed to the point where they had to send troops to attack another country just because they encountered a skinny horse while boating on the lake.
only--
Some things need to be said!
Bi Honglang, the Minister of History, suddenly stood up, walked straight to Ding Ruihan's side, faced Mingze, bent down, and saluted in a proper manner: "Your Majesty, I think this is absolutely not allowed!"
