The tripartite forces maintain the balance of power, the most reluctant to start a war are the countries in the Western Regions, their forces are relatively weak, the forces of the countries are too scattered, and the mobilization is too slow, the most want to start a war is the Northern Barbarian State, their resources are few, the environment is too bad, although the territory is vast, but there are too few places suitable for human habitation, and they are relatively scattered.

If the two forces of the three parties jointly attack a third party, they will naturally have a greater grasp.

The point is that the country of Makino also has enemies in southern Xinjiang, and the war may not be in the interests of the country of Makino, and it may also be the beginning of a disaster.

What does Emperor Dingyuan mean?

Li Meng: "Manager Wang, the spirits rewarded by my father, this king must taste them well, but these spirits may not be suitable for the taste of my Muye country, I heard that there are people from the Western Regions who are good at blending, mixing a variety of wines together, the taste will be very different, and these people from the Western Regions also have merits." ”

Wang Denian said curiously: "Is there still this way of drinking? Will it be a cross-flavor? It is also easy to make people drunk unconsciously, just like our Yunjing wine and grass barley wine, once mixed together, the stamina is not something that ordinary people can enjoy, so it is not advisable to mix several wines and drink them together, and we have not studied this method." ”

......

Wang Denian returned to the palace and truthfully reported to Emperor Dingyuan what Li Meng said, and Emperor Dingyuan pondered for a while and asked, "The Northern Barbarian Kingdom also sent gifts to Yang'er?"

Manager Wang hurriedly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, a pair of cloud spirit birds were stewed by His Royal Highness II and given to Princess Xian, three good horses were intended to be given to the outstanding people of the teaching regiment in the military department, and there were two hundred catties of spiritual materials. ”

Emperor Dingyuan was silent, waved his hand and walked towards the harem, he seemed to be older, and he walked a lot slower than before.

At the small court meeting, Li Meng brought the three folds revised by the military department into the palace, the old emperor did not appear, according to the usual practice, the prime minister Yang Mu presided over the small court meeting in the side hall, in the middle were the three prime ministers, the representatives of the six ministries and the two secretaries were listed left and right, and then there were more than 20 department heads who had something to report, and the eldest prince and the third prince did not arrive as if they had made an appointment.

Yang Mu: "Second Highness, this condolence group and teaching group don't need to report to the emperor, let the people in charge of the military department watch it, 3,000 people will be 3,000 people, but the 100,000 overseas trade protection team is no longer the scale of the protection team, it is enough to form a garrison scale, the emperor must come to decide, I am afraid that a special yamen will be established to manage." ”

Dozens of people in the side hall looked at Li Meng, this establishment of a special yamen is a big deal, once Emperor Dingyuan vetoes it or makes a donkey that is not like a donkey or a horse is not like a horse, then there will be a good show, if it is done well, the positioning of this waste wood may change a lot, it seems that the second prince really intends to make a noise about this matter.

Li Meng casually handed over the first two copies of the memorabilia and the attached charter to Huang Shi, the squire of the military department, and said: "In this way, it will be troublesome for the three ministers, today the imperial court uses money everywhere, and the huge military department does not think of how to be worthy of the soldiers guarding the border and their wives and children and parents at home." ”

Li Meng couldn't help but become serious when he said this, and made a look of worrying about the country and the people.

Yang Mu suddenly realized and said: "It turns out that the second prince has been tired and worried about this matter, and I think that the emperor will definitely approve it in person, but it is a little difficult to invest millions of taels of silver." ”

Li Meng laughed and said: "Yang Xiang doesn't have to worry about this, millions of silver don't need to be spent by the imperial court at all, and there is even an income." ”

The people above the side hall couldn't help but be very curious about Li Meng's words, this is a few million taels of silver, not just someone to take it out, but it is not appropriate for the court to do things privately, could it be that the Muyang Mansion wants to pay for it? Where did these millions of taels come from? I'm afraid it's hard to say the source.

Yang Mu asked with a trace of confusion on his face: "Second Highness, according to this statement and the articles of association, even if there is some profit in the future, how should we raise these millions of taels of investment in the early stage? ”

Li Meng laughed and said: "Yang Xiang, have you heard of the joint-stock system? This business license can be sold for a sum of money, and this license, trade zone, etc. are all a considerable amount of income." ”

......

By the time Li Meng finished arguing with these ministers of the DPRK and China, it was already noon, and the palace had something like a snack to fill his stomach, but Li Meng was the prince after all, and he would withdraw first after his affairs were done, and Daobai and the others were still waiting in Yueyangmen.

"Daobai, if this meeting is held for a day and a night, how will you solve the problem of eating?"

Daobai bowed down and replied: "Back to the prince, the court meeting rarely celebrates noon, and if it is too late, the guards will bring some meat to satisfy their hunger." ”

Back in the palace, Li Meng became bored again, how did he feel that he was a prince but did not have a leisurely and unrestrained life in his private kitchen.

Li Meng's thought about it turned out that he had no friends here, and there were too few entertainment projects here, especially for high-end people, at most, to enjoy a few dances, listen to music, sing and do a few small games, and it was a good project to organize a group of people to hold a Keju conference, but Li Meng preferred to be a project he participated in, if he only watched it from the side, the fun was greatly reduced, I don't know what happened to Lao Jiu?

In the afternoon, when Li Meng was sleeping in a daze, a rush of footsteps came, and as soon as Li Meng opened his eyes, he was a little dizzy, and he slept for two hours.

"Lord Wang, Yunjing commanded the envoy to send someone to ask for a meeting. ”

Yunjing's commander is responsible for Yunjing's daily security, and he has some involvement with the military department, but he is in charge of the prime minister, and his top boss is Yang Mu, and the commander will report to the higher authorities to mobilize the troops of other departments if the more than 20,000 people can't solve it.

"Lord Wang, the villain came to report on the order of the commander of the envoy, this afternoon Shen o'clock or so, there was a group of about 100 assassins to the Northern Barbarian delegation team, two Northern Barbarian princes and more than a dozen guards died on the spot, the location is at the entrance of the Northern Barbarian Country Post House, after the incident, the assassins were killed on the spot, the others have been scattered and fled, the commander is being hunted around, please pay attention to safety. ”

Shen Shi moment?

More than an hour has passed, and Li Meng has not received any news.

"Got it, go back and thank you for the commander, as long as Yang Xiang agrees, the Yunjing Right Guard can also make some efforts, this king still has this power, go to the gatehouse and take two taels of silver to buy a tea to drink, this day is too hot." ”

The man looked around blankly, as if it wasn't hot, how could the prince say that it was hot?

"Thank you, the villain, this will repay Lord Wang. ”
