Chapter 108: Discussion
Mu Yu comforted Mo Ziyi well, gave her a deep tongue kiss, asked the baby maid to take good care of her, and walked towards the palace with a solemn face.
The main hall of the Royal Palace
Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together to discuss the secret rift that suddenly appeared in the east.
Only those who had been notified beforehand, closed their eyes and pondered, thinking about what to do next.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
The holy king spoke, and the crowd ceased to be noisy, waiting for the will.
Long Jingtian: "The empire is about to face a war, officials at all levels must make logistical preparations, and must ensure that the front-line materials are sufficient, more than six departments remain, and the others are in place and retreat!"
"Yes!"
The low-ranking officials dispersed, and less than ten people remained in the main hall.
"Let's talk about it, what suggestions do you have?" Long Jingtian frowned, although he had already laid out the layout in advance, and even because of Mu Qingtong's foresight, the defenders of Sifang Town had been sent to the east in advance.
But the enemy still came too quickly, and many things had not yet had time to be arranged.
"Your Majesty the Holy King!" Cheng Liguang, the head of the household, stood up.
"Your Majesty, due to the sudden transfer of the army, all kinds of materials have been consumed in large quantities, and the treasury is empty, do you want to suspend the payment of grassroots guidance fees first?"
"No!" Long Jingtian vetoed instantly, the education cause cannot be stopped at the beginning, if it is suddenly stopped, the initial investment will be in vain, and even civilians will riot.
"Then Your Majesty, do you want to ask for support from the Mu Mansion?" Cheng Liguang said the real purpose.
Long Jingtian frowned, "Isn't there any other way for you to solve it except to ask Mu Fu for help?" After so long, can't the household department make money?
Long Jingtian was dissatisfied, and asked Mu Fu for help, didn't he beg for mercy from Mu Yi's brother-in-law?
"Your Majesty!" Cheng Liguang looked helpless, "The household department has also made a lot of money during this time, but the expenses are also large!"
"The destruction caused by the Immortal Alliance, the household department has to allocate funds, the equipment of the various armies is upgraded, and the cost is even greater, and even Your Majesty, you recently set up a Quartet Town Guard Reserve Army, which directly doubled the military expenditure, Your Majesty, you have also canceled all kinds of food taxes, slave trade, ......"
"Stop!" Long Jingtian had a headache, "I want to find a way!"
Alas, I really can't do it, I can only compromise with Mu Yi's kid, anyway, I don't have to worry about the debt, at most let him despise it.
"Your Majesty!" Jiang Shuwen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, came out, "Do you want the reserve army to be ready to go to the battlefield?"
"I'm against it!" Cheng Liguang looked dissatisfied, "Let the reserve army be dispatched, the material consumption will be doubled, and the cost of all kinds will be higher, is it not Lord Jiang that you will pay?"
Jiang Shuwen raised his eyebrows, "Master Cheng, you are the head of the household." ”
"Cut, why don't we change it?" Cheng Liguang looked at the military department provocatively.
Although the household department is still beautiful, the ministries are all kinds of flattery in order to obtain grants.
But Cheng Liguang knows his own business!
During this time, the empire has developed too fast, and the money consumed can be said to be astronomical, even if there is a huge tax support from Mufu, it is also stretched, if he doesn't save some money, let them lose like this again, and the household has no money, so does it still have status?
"Okay, okay!" Looking at the two Shangshu who were fighting each other, Long Jingtian looked disgusted.
If it weren't for Mu Yu's unwillingness, he would have been eager to let Cheng Liguang go home to retire and give up his position to his nephew, who would have told his nephew to make money!
Wait, you don't have to ask your brother-in-law Mu Yi to borrow money, you can find your little nephew Mu Yu!
Long Jingtian's eyes lit up, it shouldn't be difficult to find him to get money in the name of his baby daughter, right?
He found that it was very good to have a nephew who could make money, and at the same time, this nephew was also very obedient to his baby daughter, hehehe.
Mu Yu didn't know that his uncle was thinking about his wallet, and went directly to the wolf's den.
"Front-line emergency, front-line emergency!"
"Wait!" Mu Yu stopped the herald, "Let me come, you go and have a good rest!"
As he spoke, Mu Yu took out a piece of golden calligraphy and handed it to the herald.
"You know what it is, right?"
"Know, know!" the herald took the golden note in surprise, his eyes lit up.
Free hospitality post, with this post you can enjoy all the pleasure facilities of Mufu for free for seven consecutive days, he feels that these seven days, Wangtianlou is his home!
Watching the herald leave happily, Mu Yu smiled, the happiness of ordinary people is so simple.
With the battle report in hand, Mu Yu walked directly to the main hall.
Looking at the few officials who were blushing and thick-necked, Mu Yu looked confused.
"Uncle?"
Seeing Mu Yu coming in, Long Jingtian's eyes lit up, and he was just thinking about his nephew's wallet, so he took the initiative to send it to the door.
"Yu'er, come over here!"
Looking at the enthusiastic uncle, Mu Yu's body tensed and had a demonic aura!
"Uncle, I'll just stand here!"
Long Jingtian smiled awkwardly, and he also found that he seemed to be overly enthusiastic.
"Uncle, this is the battle report I just received!" Mu Yu asked the guards to hand the battle report to Long Jingtian.
Long Jingtian looked at the battle report with a solemn face, his face turned blue, and he slammed his fist on the table.
The main hall was silent for an instant, and everyone looked at the Holy King.
"There was a battle report from the front line, as soon as the crack in the secret realm appeared, a large number of enemies appeared, and the defenders of Qinglong Town met the enemy, and the bloody battle began, outnumbered, and suffered heavy losses!"
Everyone looked at each other, "Your Majesty, what about the other three armies?"
"Because I don't know the specific location of the enemy, so the defenders of the four sides of the town are scattered, who knows that the other party is fully prepared, and a large number of enemies will emerge in an instant, if it is not for the timely support of the other three armies, the Qinglong army may be completely wiped out, even so, the defenders of Qinglong Town have also suffered heavy losses, and after the Qinglong Lu Zhenshou broke alone, he died!" Long Jingtian looked sad.
"Your Majesty, I think we should let the reserve army rush to the front line as soon as possible!"
"No, no money!" Cheng Liguang disagreed, looking at Mu Yu with his eyes.
Mu Yu's mind is full of question marks, what do you see me doing?
"Ahem, Yu'er, I wonder if you can support some military spending?" Long Jingtiankuo went out, it was better to bow his head to his nephew than to be despised by Mu Yi's little fat man, and at most let his baby daughter take revenge on him.
"Groove"
Mu Yu instantly understood, no wonder his uncle was so polite to him, he was worried about his own small money.
If it was usual, Mu Yu still didn't care, but now he needs to fill in a huge hole, and the money spent on building the city may make him temporarily bankrupt, so there is extra spare money for his uncle Lang.
If he told Tang Tang now that the matter of building the city was delayed, Sister Tangtang would definitely be so angry that she wouldn't let him touch it, for the sake of the beautiful girl, how could Mu Yu compromise?
"Uncle, I don't have any money!"
"Poof!" The officials in the main hall couldn't help but squirt out when they saw Mu Yu talking nonsense with wide eyes.
Long Jingtian looked at Mu Yu quietly, and almost slapped him over.
"Yu'er, I think Dragon Dance's cultivation progress has been too slow recently, and she should retreat for a while when she comes back, right?"
Mu Yu was dumbfounded as he watched his uncle shamelessly threaten himself with his cousin Dragon Dance.
I have never seen such a brazen person, but he can only surrender, who told him to be not simple-minded!
"Uncle, aren't you short of money, you can try your lottery career!"
Mu Yu briefly said about the lottery, which made the eyes of everyone in the hall shine.
"Specifically, I'll write a report later!"
Mu Yu didn't want to propose the lottery method, after all, once Pandora's box is opened, the consequences are difficult to predict.
But when it comes to the easiest way to circle money, it's just the lottery ones, and it's very stable, so he can only try to let the state strictly control it.
"Young Master Mu, I don't know if there is anything that can help you?" Cheng Liguang looked like a dog, and almost offered Mu Yu up.
Just after listening to Mu Yu's simple words, he had already seen the bright way of money.
Mu Yu glared at him, too lazy to pay attention to this Hubu Shangshu who was thinking about his wallet all day long.
"Okay, let's do it first!" After talking about it briefly, Long Jingtian filmed it:
"Order Lu Changkong, let him lead the Qinglong Reserve Army to support, temporarily take over the position of the town guard, and the other three reserve corps are also ready to set off at any time, disperse!"
"Yes!"
Everyone dispersed, and Mu Yu was kept by Long Jingtian.
"Yu'er, you go and inform the Marquis of Dingguo, and ask him to set off immediately to rush to the border, just in case!"
Mu Yu: "Got it, uncle!"
"And!" Long Jingtian looked embarrassed, "Your report should be handed in as soon as possible!"
Mu Yu glanced at his uncle and turned to leave.
Dingguo Marquis's Mansion
Mu Yu conveyed the Holy King's message.
It was agreed that Yuan was already ready, and the Holy King Talisman had already been received, and now that he had obtained the edict, he would simply pack up and set off.
"Brother Mu Yu!" Shang Mei was dressed in silver close-fitting armor, and her perfect figure was hidden, but her long straight legs were exposed.
Mu Yu gently hugged Shang Mei, with a reluctant expression, "Mei'er, why don't you go!"
Shang Mei shook her head, "I don't want to be Brother Mu Yu's tiredness!"
"Then you should be careful in everything, don't be too impulsive when you encounter things!" Mu Yu touched Shang Mei's hair and said softly.
"Hmm!" Shang Mei took the initiative to offer a fragrant kiss, and the two of them became entangled.
For a long time, the lips parted.
Shang Mei whispered in Mu Yu's ear and tempted: "Brother Mu Yu, next time I will challenge you in a skirt!"
Leaving a laugh like a silver bell, Shang Mei caught up with her father, who had already set off.
Mu Yu swallowed his saliva, little goblin!
On the way home, Mu Yu ran into her cousin-in-law Lu Changkong, who said goodbye to Long Miao's cousin.
"Cousin-in-law!"
When Lu Changkong saw Mu Yu, a little smile barely appeared on his painful face.
"Husband, be careful!" Long Miao took Lu Changkong's hand, reluctant to give up.
"Cousin-in-law, mourn!" Mu Yu looked sad, no one expected Lu Zhenshou's sacrifice.
"I'll try my best!" Lu Changkong gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of hatred, he wanted to kill now.
"Cousin, Miao'er will be taken care of by you!"
"Don't worry, I will take care of Cousin Long Miao happily. ”
With Mu Yu's promise, Lu Changkong set off with his reserve army.
Alas, Mu Yu didn't know what to say, hoping that hatred wouldn't let Lu Changkong get lost.
"Cousin Long Miao, go back! I will take good care of your cousin-in-law!" Holding Long Miao's hand, Mu Yu said with a pun.
Long Miao's face turned red and lowered her head.
One night of spring breeze, the two were so tired that they hugged each other and fell asleep.
In the morning, Mu Yucai reluctantly said goodbye to Cousin Long Miao, he had a lot of things to deal with!
