It can be said that if sang Weng La is the representative of a military general, long Qi is an example of civil servants.
Such a person stood up and expressed his opinions, which soon won the support of many civil servants below. Not only that, some people simply talked about the previous sneak attack on Hanoi City, accusing it of being a mistake, playing with fire and only putting Lancang kingdom in danger.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult for civil and military to coexist, which is determined by their nature.
Just as generals can only show their role on the battlefield, civil servants need peace in the world. Only in this way can they display their talents. Once there is a war, their skills are difficult to use. This is why once there is a war in history, civil servants always advocate peace and military generals always advocate war.
Payasai was still sitting in a high position and looked at everything with a smile. For an emperor, balancing power represents their means. Civil and military opposition, which is even what he hopes to see in the bottom of his heart. But when seeing the morale of civil servants getting higher and higher, sang Weng La and other military generals slowly stopped talking and kept silent, he also saw that things were wrong. He wants the art of balance, but he absolutely doesn't want to see either side become bigger.
"Enough, enough." seeing that the situation was completely reversed, payasai finally had to stand up and speak.
With this cry, the hall soon quieted down, indicating that the authority of the king payasai was still very heavy. "The matter about the alliance with fan Yuhai was discussed before. How can we break the appointment? Besides, the mercenaries first attacked general Ratti and killed him. This time, they killed general Ceci. They are already at odds with us. Don't think about peace. Sang Weng, the king will order you to take the army north to meet general fan Yuhai in sangnu city now , we must keep the enemy's army out of the country. "
"Minister, take orders." Sang Weng La bowed his head and respectfully agreed. When he looked up, he also looked at Longqi and others with some provocative eyes. The meaning of the demonstration was very obvious.
The court meeting ended with the king's words. If sang Weng began to send troops, he also sent people to urge the army to solve the problem of food and grass. This time, a hundred thousand troops set out to fight. It's not a small expense to eat, drink and Lazar every day.
"National division, general sang came to urge food and clothes." just as he returned to the house, Longqi saw some relevant officials waiting for him in front of the house. In a bad mood, he waved his hand impatiently, "here, give what you want."
"National teacher, there are few military supplies in the Treasury. Do you want to take them all out at one time?" several relevant officials asked for instructions with constipation on their faces. I don't blame them for their embarrassment. First 100000 troops were defeated, and then 50000 troops were defeated. There were a lot of military supplies lost with them. After several wars, the inventory in the Treasury has become less and less. This time, sang Weng was even more open to the lion, asking for 100000 people's guns and clothes. This is their limit. If they take them out according to this requirement, the Treasury will be empty. Once there is a need, they really can't take out anything.
At that time, once the king gave orders, what would they do? Then I came to ask the national teacher for advice.
"Few? Haven't you been making weapons and uniforms?" Longqi asked with a slight frown. As a national teacher, he needs to manage too many things on weekdays. It is impossible to know everything very clearly.
Several officials looked embarrassed and replied, "if we return to normal university, we have been working hard, but we can't stand the consumption. Now many weapons have only been polished for the first time, but they look shaped, but there is still a big distance from toughness."
"Yes, sir, military clothes, shoes and hats are the same. Only a part of them have been made, and the others are only semi-finished products. It still needs a lot of embroidery women to work overtime for at least two months."
Several lower officials spoke in all directions, which also made Longqi know more about the situation.
Just because he knew enough, his eyebrows were raised gently, and an unknown strange color flashed in his eyes. Then he quickly recovered to a calm state, pondered for a moment and said, "it's true. It's hard for you. Alas, it's all those generals who only know how to fight and don't care about your feelings. That's right. If they hurry, give them the semi-finished products."
"Ah!" listening to Longqi's answer, several lower officials were stunned and looked incomprehensible.
"Why? You don't want to. If you don't want to, go and explain to them yourself. Our teachers don't care." seeing that you have an idea, these people don't seem to agree. Longqi turned angrily and wanted to go to the house. This frightened the officials. They quickly stopped Longqi's footsteps, and then asked, "if it's semi-finished products for them, what should we do once they find them on the battlefield?"
"When you find out, you'll find out. It's beyond their capacity. Besides, this time, we were supposed to cooperate with fan Yuhai to fight, but it's just to build a momentum. Of course, if you have other ways, you can think about it." Long Qi said with an indifferent attitude.
If there were any other way, would they come to longzina for advice? Thinking that there was really no better way, those people in the army were like wolves one by one, and they would be beaten at any time if they didn't give anything. These officials finally made up their mind. Anyway, the idea was developed by Longqi state. Once something happened, they were not alone. Finally, one by one said they would obey orders, so they left the National Teacher's house.
Finally, his ears were quiet. Longqi strode to the backyard of the mansion. "You all stay outside. The national division wants to be alone." waved back the pro guards around him, and he entered the courtyard alone.
After there was no one around, Longqi's steps became faster. After seven turns and eight turns, he stopped in front of a small room. After taking a deep breath, he pushed the door and entered.
The cabin is not very big. Except for a bed, two chairs and a small wooden table, there is nothing else. It looks very simple, but at this time, a person is sitting on the chair and playing with the tea in front of him. He seems to be very focused. He doesn't look any unhappy because of the simplicity of the environment.
"Mr. Yun." Longqi's attitude became respectful, far from being as high as he was to several lower officials just now.
"Here comes the national master. Please take a seat. It's just right. Taste the tea I just made." Mr. Yun smiled and pointed to the empty chair in front of him.
"Then try Mr. Yun's craft." Longqi squeezed out a smile on his face and sat down on the chair.
The cabin suddenly became much quieter until the tea had been made. After Mr. Yun took the initiative to pour tea for the two people, Longqi took a sip of the tea cup, then pretended to be very intoxicated and said, "it's really good tea."
Whether tea is really good or not, naturally no one cares. All we want is an atmosphere. Mr. Yun looked at Longqi's performance and smiled. He knew that the other party was taking this matter to express his position. That is to say, his tea is good and his attitude is so respectful. Needless to say, this person has made a decision. Thinking like this, the smile on his face was more prosperous. Then he took out his right hand in his arms and held a million Liang silver ticket in his hand. "Guoshi, this is given to you by our loyal and courageous public. With this ticket, anyone can exchange the same amount of silver in any Yang bank."
"Hee hee hee." Long Qi took the silver note with an impolite hand and said with a bright smile like flowers on his face: "Zhong Dan Gong is really generous. Long Qi admires him."
This is a million taels of silver. Think how big the Lancang kingdom is, the revenue of the National Treasury is only about 2 million Liang a year. This move is half a year's revenue. Who can't be greedy.
He carefully collected the silver ticket into his arms. Long Qi didn't wait to speak. Mr. Yun's words had been spread, "by the way, this is just the beginning. Zhong Dan said that as long as the national teacher does well, he will give you a total of 5 million Liang, which is a kind of support for long's business in the future."
"Hiss!" when hearing the figure of five million Liang, long Qi, who had just smiled, couldn't help taking a breath. What a fortune it would be. With these, the long family can eat several generations even if they do nothing.
Once the figure of 5 million Liang was said, Longqi had some hesitation in his heart, and he was completely firm. Of course, he is not worried that if he does something for Zhongdan Gong, the other party will not honor it, because he will become an example. Many people will see whether it is good or bad. If Zhongdan Gong really dares to play tricks with himself, it will only cold the hearts of more people. It's said that the loyal and courageous man is a man who does great things. He can't do things like this. It's just lack of discretion.
Longqi thought well. Yang Chendong didn't mean to play tricks with him at all. The figure of 5 million Liang was immediately said, and of course it would be fulfilled. This is related to his external image. How could he do that kind of thing of self destruction of the Great Wall?
Then again, the reason why we have to pay such a high price is also because Longqi itself is worth the price. Five million taels is not a small amount in any country, but it is really nothing in chixian City, which produces all kinds of novel goods.
This is the advantage of capital. The so-called money can make the ghost push the mill. Even when the silver reaches a certain amount, it is not impossible for the mill to push the ghost in turn. Moreover, fighting is money, and winning a war can plunder more resources and good things, which seems to have become a cycle. It's just that some people play well and can form a virtuous circle. Some people don't play well and it's easy to collapse.
