Chapter 60: Controversy

"Naturally, it's very good, General Luo is too nervous." Mo Shen said casually, with a just right smile on his lips, seemingly approachable but more alienated.

The ministers who were still agreeing with what Luo Qi said just now were stunned for a moment, no longer spoke, and there was some uncertainty on their faces, which looked a little funny.

No one thought that Gongzi Mo would speak out at this moment and come against General Luo Qi?

Luo Qi also looked up at the person beside him, only to see his angular side face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked as if he was smiling.

Emperor Chen, who was on the upper level, saw Mo Shen and glanced at Luo Qi again, and suddenly the interest in his eyes became stronger.

"Oh? What is Childe's unique opinion this time? ”

Mo Shen took a step forward, bowed to the king without hurry, and then said slowly: "Military spending is indeed a huge part of the current cost, and the problem of redundant troops is becoming more and more serious. ”

"As far as General Luo said, it is indeed understandable from the perspective of a military general, but it is inevitably a bit of a well-watching."

W-What!?

What does Childe mean that General Luo is a frog at the bottom of the well?

Manchu officials watched the scene in amazement.

This Gongzi Mo really dared to say it, and he was not afraid that General Luo would cut him down.

Luo Qi snorted coldly, his face expressionless, "That son is talking about it, what the general just said, which sentence is wrong?" ”

"None of that is true."

Mo Shen turned his head and glanced at her leisurely, ignoring the anger that was gradually emerging on her face and continued: "As far as the Three Kingdoms are concerned, the Qi State is the most powerful of the Three Kingdoms, if you really want to provoke a war, why should you take care of this little force?

In addition, Shan Yu has always advocated freedom, and after the new Shan Yu ascended the throne, he clearly stipulated that the freedom of Shan Yu's people should be restricted, especially stating that he should not cause trouble in other countries.

That being the case, as long as I, Chen Guo, do not take the initiative to provoke incidents, the reduction of the army can also alleviate the problem of redundant troops, so what's wrong? ”

Luo Qi stared at him directly, and his tone was indifferent, "Then how can the son ensure that the soldiers' salaries will not be caused by riots in the army and chill the hearts of the soldiers?" ”

"After the war is over, the military pay continues to remain the same? Scold! Chen Guo does not raise idlers. ”

These words came out of Gongzimo's mouth, which was a little surprising.

There is a taste of superiority in the words, which does not match the image of the usually gentle and elegant son.

But it is beyond reproach that he is right, no country wants to raise a large number of soldiers in peacetime.

Luo Qi's eyes were even more angry, he was a good idler!

"But this is the military salary they exchanged for their lives, why should it be lowered?"

"But now there is no war, there is no change in military salaries, and there will be riots in the long run, but it is only a matter of time." He paused, meeting the woman's eyes, "General, do you understand?" ”

Luo Qi looked into his eyes, speechless, she could understand what he meant.

Military salaries remain unchanged, and in a relatively stable environment, soldiers will slowly form a psychology of course.

At the same time, the problem of redundant troops and redundant expenses will become more serious, and then the contradictions will only become more acute, and riots may occur at any time.

Mo Shen saw that her expression softened, and then continued: "General, it is the general trend for the disarmament team to reduce military salaries, and now the Hubu Shangshu has proposed it, but it is just earlier. ”

After the argument just now, Luo Qi had actually agreed with Mo Shen's statement in his heart.

But inexplicably, she felt a little empty and sad in her heart.

In this debate between the adviser and the general, it is obvious that the adviser wins!

Emperor Chen's eyebrows and eyes were dyed with joy, and his eyes looking at Mo Shen became more and more gentle.

There is no king who does not want the treasury to be full!

He laughed a few times before he said to the ministers below: "Everyone understands what Gongzi said? So do you still have any objections to the move proposed by the head of the household? ”

The officials shook their heads lightly, even the female general Luo Qi was convinced, where did they dare to say that they had objections?

After half a ring, no one came forward, so the matter was settled.

In the end, Emperor Chen handed over this task to the head of the Hubu Shangshu and the Military Department, and it was clearly stipulated that it should be completed before the end of the year.

At the time of the final retreat from the dynasty, Emperor Chen also specially commended the two of Hubu Shangshu and Mo Shen.

Luo Qi has been hanging her head since Emperor Chen announced the results, making it impossible to see her expression.

After Emperor Chen left, the civil and military officials gradually withdrew from the palace, and Luo Qi and Mo Shen stayed until the end.

Luo Qi didn't seem to notice that he had descended, and his head kept hanging down, as if he was in a daze.

He watched her bow her head and remain silent, and as he passed by her, he moved closer and whispered something that was a little confusing.

"They have not been abandoned, they are still the people of the Chen Kingdom."

When the words fell, the man had already stepped out, and Luo Qi looked up, only seeing his figure in the distance.

Was he comforting her?

Obviously, there was no word of comfort in this sentence, and her tone was a little cold, but for some reason, she was really comforted by this ordinary sentence.

……

In the Xiyuan Palace, not long after Mo Shen returned from the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Chen's reward followed.

The palace ladies and eunuchs here have long been accustomed to this, and they are very skillful in placing all the rewards in a small room at will, and no longer take care of them.

Mo Shen was sitting in the upper hall of the main room at the moment, holding his head with one hand and his eyes narrowing slightly.

He dismissed the people in the house, closed the door, and stayed quietly alone.

Suddenly, a breath appeared, and a figure in black appeared in front of him.

"Lord today, I argued with the female general Luo Qi?" He was ecstatic when he received the news, and he finally started his career in earnest.

Mo Shen didn't lift his eyelids, "um", and nodded slightly.

The man in black watched the man's every move in front of him with shining eyes, worthy of being a master, so that Emperor Chen's vigilance was lowered, and he was just a little far away from the female general.

"Master has to remember, stay away from that female general."

When Mo Shen heard him mention Luo Qi, he instantly opened his eyes and glanced at him, "People from the Situ family, don't worry about me!" ”

I don't know if I heard the coldness and danger in his tone, and the man in black quickly left, just as quietly and silently as he came.

Mo Shen looked at the void with a cold look in his eyes.

The people of the Situ family can't help but stretch their hands too long......
