Chapter 78 Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs (1)
"Liu Zhengming." I shouted again: "You will immediately prepare to pay the corresponding money, food and grass to supply the army to the expedition."
"I obey the order." Liu Zhenming replied quickly.
I turned around and said, "Liu Aiqing, I am making things difficult for you. Now the country is in turmoil and the treasury is empty. Let's do this, I have one million taels of private money here, and I will first use it in the treasury."
"Prince, please rest assured." Liu Zhenming said seriously: "I will naturally find a way to solve the problem of military pay. This matter is the responsibility of me. I should not refuse, nor should I ask the emperor to take out my private money."
I was slightly moved. Although Liu Zhenming has many bad habits, he is indeed a good person in managing money. He can operate his limited funds ten times. Then he thought about it again: "By the way, go find Chu Qing. Her Mochou Village has been doing a lot of business recently. I will allocate a batch of military pay from her first. Alas, I know your difficulties. If you don't take charge of your business, you won't know that your food is expensive. These days, you will suffer."
"Thank you for your consideration for me." Liu Zhenming knelt on the ground excitedly and said, "Others only know how to ask the Ministry of Revenue for silver. When the Wei minister tightened his finger, he was criticized as a stingy and stingy person. What's more, they thought that the money had fallen into the Wei minister's pocket. In fact, I wish I could break a monday of silver into ten portions to spend. Thank you for your words, if you don't take charge of your family, you don't know how expensive it is to be a firewood, rice, oil and salt."
"Get up." I laughed and said, "As long as I can successfully pass this cold winter, everything will be fine. I will let your Ministry of Revenue count the money one by one until your hands cramp. Haha."
Liu Zhenming stood up and laughed with fat, "Your Majesty, I am very much looking forward to the arrival of that month. At that time, I can also serve as a big money. If the Ministry of Works comes to ask for 100,000 taels of silver, I will give 1 million taels of silver with a stroke of my pen. The Ming Dynasty said that the Ministry of War comes to ask for 300,000 taels of military salary. I will give 3 million taels of military salary with a stroke of my pen. Let me just transfer 3 million taels of rice. Who dares to say that I am a stingy person?"
I almost smashed the cup over, and my face changed in surprise: "Get out, you guy, you can't spend money like this even if you have money? It's a prodigal son." After that, I laughed loudly: "You guy doesn't dare to do it either. I will punish you to be a turtle man at that time, so that you can watch it and not eat it."
"Your Majesty, please spare the young one. The young one is just thinking about it." Liu Zhenming smiled bitterly and said repeatedly: "I never thought of this idea, Yiyin would be punished."
"Get out, I don't have time to talk to you at this time." I laughed and cursed, "I want Yiyin to go home." The two of them laughed and made a fuss, and the originally quiet atmosphere in the court suddenly became alive.
"Xu Liang, how is the production of the magical crossbow cannon, how is the crossbow gun?" I turned to Xu Liang and asked.
"Return to the emperor, I have added three arms production bases. Now the output has reached three divine machine crossbows, two hundred divine machine crossbows, and ammunition, etc., and there are no details on each one." Xu Liang replied respectfully: "Now there are about five thousand divine machine crossbows in stock and one hundred and thirty divine machine crossbows."
"During these days before the war, Xu Liang, you stay at the military production base and don't come back. It's good to have a continuous production span and a magic machine crossbow cannon for twelve hours." I ordered in a deep voice.
"I obey the order." Xu Liang is a guy who is not afraid of hardship. It is indeed a blessing for me to have such a person in the Ministry of Works to be the Minister of the Secretariat.
"Duan Hong, you will start preparing, prepare for the troops, and gradually transfer the troops to the border for strategic deployment. At that time, Jian Lingtai will succeed, launch a general attack immediately, and make sure to achieve the greatest military power in the shortest time."
"I will do it immediately." Duan Hong bowed.
"Since everything is ready, then let's break up." I looked at the sky outside the hall, and noon was over.
"The emperor retreated to the court~." Xiaodaozi heard what I said, hurriedly stepped forward and shouted in his sharp voice.
"I respectfully send you to the emperor, long live my emperor."
...
After coming out from the Zhonghe Hall, an unbearable hunger came from my belly. Then I remembered that Jin Yu came out of Yingying and forgot to use breakfast. I couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook my head: "I didn't expect that for the sake of national affairs, I would have the state of forgetting to eat and sleep." It has been a year since I came to this world. In this whole year, I have experienced more ups and downs than in that world for twenty-five years. From the beginning of my mentality of having fun and worry-free to the people around me, I have become more and more concerned about the people around me, which made me realize my integration. Looking back, I couldn't help laughing. The impression of the world before became more and more indifferent. Many times, I unknowingly regarded myself as a person of this era. Especially after the birth of the girl and Lin'er in Changping, I felt a blood-connected family affection.
Since the last rebellion, I have understood a truth. If I can't control the absolute power in my hands, I don't even have the power to protect my family. Whenever I think of that, I can't help but sweat all over my body. In this situation, I can't let it happen again.
"Emperor, Emperor." Xiao Duozi was beside me. Seeing me stunned for a while, he had to whisper to remind me.
I woke up in shock: "Xiao Duozi, what happened?"
"Your Majesty, are you going to move to Xinzhai or to Kunning Palace?" Xiao Duozi said this, and his stomach started to growl.
"Haha." I patted his shoulder and laughed, "It seems that you are too hungry, right? Let's go to Kunning Palace for a meal together."
Xiao Duozi was embarrassed, but he was immediately delighted again. He quickly called Long Yan and went straight to Kunning Palace.
"Youhong, Youhong." I laughed and walked into the queen's warm room, laughing, "I'm here to have a free meal again."
Dong'er happened to be in the warm cabinet. When she saw me, she immediately turned red and wanted to avoid it but couldn't find the place. I laughed and said, "What do you always hide when you see me?"
"Your Majesty, I can't get up to welcome the sage." The queen said softly.
"No, no, no." I hurriedly approached, held the queen, leaned on the bed, and said caringly: "Youhong, are you better?"
"Your Majesty, it's not too much." The queen smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't had lunch yet? It's already time for us Kunning Palace. Let's do this, Dong'er, go to the imperial kitchen and get some food for the emperor."
Dong'er responded and walked out quickly. Looking at her walking look, her little waist was barely squeezing, which made me feel moved again.
The queen saw it and said with a serious look: "Emperor, I should not have said it. Although the emperor is the king of a country, even if he favors a maid for a while, he is not responsible at all. However, Dong'er grew up serving as a servant, and although she is called a master and servant, she is actually like a sister. Dong'er is very uncomfortable now. I hope that the emperor can give Dong'er a share and settle her."
I held the queen's hand and said, "Youhong, what's this? Is this an irresponsible person? But you also know that the court has been in a heavy stake recently, and I didn't think of this for a while. So, I will make her a consummate conscience."
The queen smiled: "Since the emperor has this intention, I am very happy. I should talk about the matter of Cefeng when the emperor is free."
"The Queen is not angry anymore." I laughed and said, "Come on, kiss me."
"It's broad daylight, you're going to make trouble again." The queen resisted my last name to disturb me.
"It's an old husband and wife, what are you afraid of?" I was shameless and cursed, and leaned straight towards her. Just when the queen was unable to stand the attack and declared her loss, a baby cried suddenly.
I hurriedly stopped the wolf kiss and looked at Lin'er lying beside the queen. I saw the little guy, howling with his mouth, howling. I quickly hugged him up and teased, "Little guy, how can a real man cry whenever he says he's crying?" Unexpectedly, this little guy didn't even shook him, and he still cried on his own.
I scratched my head and said embarrassedly, "Youhong, is our son hungry?" As I said that, my eyes glanced at his chest.
"The foolish lord, where are you looking?" The queen blushed and scolded softly: "I just fed him, I probably didn't have to be hungry. Maybe I'm urinating."
I suddenly realized, and opened my son's swaddle clothes clumsily. Sure enough, the little guy drew a map. After I changed his diapers, I wrapped it up again, hugged it in my hand and smiled: "Sure enough, I won't cry anymore. Our son is so smart, he will cry even if he pees."
"Puchi." The queen couldn't help laughing: "Yes, yes, I'm so smart, I'll cry even if I urinate. This is like you, the emperor."
My smile froze on my face, and I understand that I have to ask for trouble, but it is difficult for women to raise villains. It seems that Lao Kong still has some philosophical principles when talking.
Lin'er in his hand suddenly started crying again. I wanted to fight back to the queen, but hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "Empress, what's wrong with Lin'er now? I've eaten it and scattered it."
"This?" the queen smiled sly: "Maybe he is bored and lonely, and someone needs to sing for him."
"Sing?" I was stunned and smiled quickly, "This relationship is good, you can sing it to him."
"I feel sore today, I can't sing." The queen turned her head away.
"Then." I turned to Xiaoduozi and said, "Xiaoduozi, sing to the prince."
"Your Majesty, please spare me." Xiao Duozi was so shocked that he was no longer looking at him: "I really can't sing."
"If you don't sing, do you want me to sing?" I couldn't help but blurt out.
"Your Majesty, look how sad Lin'er cried. Just feel wronged and sing one." The queen covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
I'm speechless...
