Chapter 352: Money makes the world go round. The ancients were right!
General Guide Lei Zhixin showed disdain on his face and let out a long "Tsk——" sound.
In the past, when we asked this stingy guy 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, trying to determine from various perspectives how much money they would need at least, for fear of paying too much.
Now this person 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 the quilt and cried for a long time!
Lei Zhixin uttered "Haha" with disdain again.
Money makes 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 door!!
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 upright people who could hear the little fellow's inner voice disdained Jiao Hongmiao's flexible stance, they all had shining eyes and 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 thieves to stir up trouble in our Great Rui this time, there will definitely be villains from other countries who will follow suit in the future!"
"Your Majesty! This matter concerns the beauty of our country, Da Rui. You must not take it lightly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty—"
——The ministers, who were often constrained by lack of funds, had green lights in their eyes and responded loudly.
Jiang Yanchuan raised his hand to suppress the noise in the room, and pressed his forehead twice with a headache.
The situation of several overlapping voices finally eased, 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! ]
[Wow, 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 ancient tomb underground are three times as much as those in Yuntong Mountain, not to mention the two large tombs near the Xiliang dragon vein. The preciousness of the burial treasures there is ten times the value of the burial objects in the mausoleum that the previous emperor prepared for himself! ! ]
Ten...ten times? ! !
The Qingliu present were breathing rapidly, wishing 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 himself. The room full of gold, silver and jewels almost blinded their eyes. The money inside was enough to support the national needs of their Great Rui for a whole year!
"Your Majesty... 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 passed on - huh? ]
[Two greeting letters were sent back? ! ! ]
Jiang Yingcheng was simply stunned, and kept using his mind to scroll through the information on the screen: [Nothing else?! There really is nothing else to send back?!]
After hiding in Da Rui for half a year, you couldn't find any useful information? !
Jiang Yingcheng opened his eyes wide, and his dark pupils were filled with indignation at the low abilities of the two ordinary spies.
——Isn’t this too bad?!
With such limited abilities, why do you still want to be a spy? !
Wouldn't it be better to give the opportunity to someone more capable? ! !
Jiang Yingcheng huddled in the arms of her beautiful father, unconsciously finding a more comfortable position, and then sighed deeply: [In this case, this can't be used as a reason to send troops, right? ]
After all, Dayui has always had trade exchanges 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 based on only two useless letters.
[But...] Jiang Yingcheng swallowed suspiciously, [Ping Xuguo is really rich, so rich——]
[Although their territory is small, it completely encompasses the two gold mountains. Pingxu State was afraid that their actions would be too big and attract the covetousness of neighboring countries, so they have not mined them 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 skinny arms without any muscle.
Your Majesty! If my army is too busy to handle the troops, I can also go to the battlefield!
Jiang Yingcheng didn't notice the turmoil on the field, and was still thinking about how to justify his actions.
[How about... a little bit of tea? ]
[The beloved little princess of Emperor Da Rui was tripped by a spy from Ping Xu State and was unconscious for more than three days. Emperor Ming Ze was furious and sent troops to attack. This can be considered a legitimate reason! ]
The Qingliu present: “!!!”
This is impossible!
"Your Majesty!" Minister of Rites Chu Jiaxu stood up with a bang. In his excitement, he even shook the table beside him. "I remember that Mr. Liu was very good at imitating other people's handwriting. If..."
The words stopped here at the right moment. The deep meaning implied in it was understood by the old foxes who had been immersed in the court for many years.
——If they can't find clear evidence, they can also create "clear" evidence.
[Yes! It can be done this way! ]
[If we can't find the letter at the hiding place of those spies, we can ask Uncle Lu to come forward and use threats, inducements, torture and torture to extract a confession. If they still refuse to confess, we can break their arms with a stick, and then Master Liu will come forward and write a letter with crooked handwriting, saying that they are strong-willed and wrote it tenaciously despite their broken arms! ]
[When the time comes, we just need to exchange some medicine that can make them lose their voices, and they will be unable to defend themselves! ]
Anyway, these people came with the intention of harming Da Rui, and Uncle Lu's methods of torturing them must have been much more harsh than such thoughts, so there was no need for her to have too much psychological burden!
——This is what Jiang Yingcheng, who had suffered a broken bone before his rebirth and then fully recovered, thought.
Lu Yao: “…”
The Qingliu present: "..."
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 this little guy become the violent gangster he is now? ! !
The court officials who were unable to hear the little guy's thoughts were puzzled. They couldn't 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 Imperial Censor, suddenly stood up, walked straight to Ding Ruihan's side, faced Mingze, bent down, and saluted politely: "Your Majesty, I think this is absolutely not allowed!"
