Sun is also an extremely shrewd person, constantly thinking about the whole thing in his head, and then said: "Master, this is eating the money of the official's family, there will be no problems, right?" ”

Li Linhu waved his hand and said with a smile: "This civilian spare refining division is originally controlled by the merchants of various provinces, in order to fight together, once the official refining division of the government can't keep up with the use of front-line soldiers, the military department will immediately activate the backup refining division of each province, and it will also allocate funds at a cost price thirty percent higher than that of the government, as long as the required weapons and equipment are handed over on time." ”

Sun didn't seem to understand, Li Linhu continued: "This Sun Dacheng has a great appetite, he actually wants to create chain mail. As far as I know, each of the generals of the four frontiers now has a piece of chain mail rewarded by His Majesty, and I have heard that the cost of each piece of chain mail is more than four or five hundred taels, so according to the law of Dahua, Sun Dacheng will earn at least a hundred taels of profit on each piece of chain mail! ”

Li Linhu and Sun felt excited when they thought about it, if they could make a thousand pieces every year, they would have at least a profit of more than 100,000 taels.

Sun Shi was happy but still felt that something was wrong, looked at Li Linhu and asked, "But master, I heard that it takes a long time to make one." ”

Li Linhu said with a smile: "That was a few years ago, and now the smelting and forging process has been greatly improved, especially this year, a craftsman invented a new process, which can raise the refining technology to a higher level, so Sun Dacheng said that now he can complete one piece per person every three days, but the cost will be quite high." As for how he learned about this core craft, I don't know, it seems that I have to go out and move this old face. ”

In the Military Aircraft Pavilion of Anhua Palace, Emperor Zhu Chengyuan looked at several ministers in front of him and said: "Let's talk about it, the frequency of Anri's recent actions has completely exceeded my imagination, what are your best plans." ”

Wang Yongwen, the head of the military department, said: "Last time, His Majesty asked Weichen to lead the people of the military department to deduce, according to the recent deduction, our army has a greater chance of winning, but the casualties will be much greater. ”

Zhu Chengyuan said with a straight face: "The casualties are too great, so what's the point of me winning this battle, Aiqing goes back and continues to deduce, if it doesn't work a hundred times, then a thousand times, I don't want the soldiers in front to leave a little more blood, they live one more, and our territory will have more peace." ”

Wang Yongwen hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this battle with An Liguo is prudent, and the Chu State in the northwest and the Qingqiu State in the northeast are staring at the border of our Hua Kingdom. ”

His Majesty the Emperor said solemnly: "Do you think that the Chu State and the Qingqiu Kingdom will take the opportunity to attack my northwest and northeast borders?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, our military department has conducted hundreds of deductions, once the Chu State or the Qingqiu State sneak attack the flank of the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry while our army is fighting, the consequences will be unimaginable, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the 150,000 Iron Cavalry in the Northern Xinjiang to resist."

Li Xianlai, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Lord Wang's opinion, as early as the beginning of our founding of the country, the border in the northeast was not very peaceful, and the Qingqiu country has always been ready to move, if we do something to the Anli people, then the Qingqiu country will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob." The minister heard that the people in Qingqiu are hungry and poorly clothed, as long as a country like this is a little vacant, it will definitely drill into it, and if a hungry jackal sees a piece of big fat meat, it must be a wolf spitting and swallowing, and it is not cost-effective for the soldiers of our border army to fight for their lives! ”

Emperor Zhu Chengyuan nodded, lost in thought. At this time, Lai Si stood up and said: "Your Majesty, my lords, according to my humble opinion, you can fight the Chu State first." ”

This remark caught everyone off guard, why did you kill Chu first, everyone, you look at me, I stare at you, I don't know why. Emperor Zhu Chengyuan opened his mouth and asked, "Laisi, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up and listen to it." ”

Lai Si bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen feels that he can attack the border of Chu State first, and force it to retreat three hundred miles on the northwest frontier line, and our army can advance two hundred miles." These 200 miles are the last buffer left for the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry. ”

Wang Yongwen stared at the sand table on the ground, and after studying for a long time, he didn't understand why Lord Jifu Lai said that.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't know what Lai Si meant, so he said, "Lai Si, you said something more detailed. ”

Lai Si smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask everyone here, why do the lords of the military department think that the Chu State and the Qingqiu Congress sent troops to harass us when our side was fighting against the Anritsu people?" ”

Lord Lin of the military department behind Lai Si stood up and said: "Lord Shoufu has said that the people of Qingqiu Country are hungry and poor, so naturally they will not let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob, and the Chu State is to wash away the shame of being beaten outside the imperial capital by the Western Frontier Tiger Guard ten years ago." ”

Rice smiled and didn't speak, and continued to wait for everyone's answer. Soon, another adult stood up and said: "They have been suppressed by our country for so long, and with the 450,000 flying horses of An Liguo as their backing, their courage will swell sharply, and they all think that this will be a piece of fat, and everyone wants to come up and take a bite." ”

Raisi looked at everyone and smiled and said, "What you adults said is not right or not. As soon as these words came out, everyone began to talk about it.

Weng Shixiao, who had been sitting in the chair, slowly opened his eyes and said softly: "Qingqiu National Elementary School, weak military strength, typical barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes. Once there is an opportunity to turn over, they will not hesitate to seize it, even if they are defeated, for them, it is less than half of the mouths waiting to eat in the country. ”

"Since they are so weak, why don't they just take down the Qingqiu Kingdom?" One asked.

Lai Si took over and said: "Qingqiu Country is located in the middle of the Hungji Kingdom and the Anli Kingdom, and there is basically no land suitable for agriculture in the country. Therefore, even if our army invades the imperial city of Qingqiu, it will not get any compensation, and even the simplest rations will not be solved in Qingqiu. Not only did we have to send troops to garrison, but we also had to solve the problem of food and clothing for the soldiers stationed there, which meant that we had to distribute grain from various granaries in Dahua to Qingqiu for follow-up supplies. This is not the end, who can guarantee that the supply line will be smooth all the way, and there will be no attack by the Qingqiu Liukou? ”

"What about the state of Chu?" Another adult asked.

"Chu is strong and middle-class, and the fundamental reason why it still exists now is that the national heritage that has been precipitated for more than two hundred years is supported." Weng Shixiao yawned and continued: "Those people and ministers in the imperial capital of Chu have long lost their ambition to rule the country and level the world, and as long as they exert a little pressure, they will become frightened birds. ”

Li Xianlai said with a smile: "What the master said is true, but I am worried that the young Zhuang faction of the Chu State will not be willing to indulge in this, if they are allowed to see the opportunity to make a timely move, it will also cause immeasurable losses to my frontier." ”

Weng Shixiao slowly got up with the support of Laisi, he was on crutches with one hand, and pointed to the sand table on the ground with the other and said: "The state of Chu can be fought and defended, and the way to choose will have to wait for the news of Huangfu Leng." And why do you need to make a big move in a small place like Qingqiu, just disintegrate from within. ”

There are very few people who dare to call Huangfu cold, but Huangfu looked at the old man in front of him coldly but did not dare to make a mistake at all, and leaned over respectfully and said: "The student has already made arrangements, and you can know just when the news comes back." ”

Weng Shixiao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, he once felt that he had the ability to seal the territory, but he loved this inspector. The master remembered that once he was drinking, and he asked Huangfu Leng why he didn't want to sit in the feudal official, but he liked the corner of the inspector department. His reply was that Your Majesty has no shortage of generals and commanders on the frontier, but there is one less person to guard the door in the dark place, and I am willing to do my best to guard this ghost gate.

Emperor Zhu Chengyuan looked at the three of them singing and harmonizing, and couldn't help but smile at Huangfu Leng and Lai Si: "Did you two go to the Erudite Mansion to steal the century-old wine I gave to my husband again?" ”

Rice smiled: "I didn't drink much, it's just half a jar." ”

"Half an altar? There are only five jars of wine in total, and I am not willing to drink it! The emperor said angrily.

The master turned his head to look at His Majesty the Emperor, and said with a slight smile: "The Emperor Fu Leng also drank half an altar. At this time, the emperor pretended that nothing had happened, and looked around, but he didn't dare to look at His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhu Chengyuan's grievance, he has a total of ten jars of century-old wine, and he is reluctant to drink it over the years, leaving seven altars. He knew that his husband loved wine, but he was too old to drink more, and if he drank too much, he would get up. So as soon as the emperor gritted his teeth, he asked Qiu Sihai, the chief administrator, to send five altars to the master, and he only left two altars to satisfy his hunger, just because the aging was not on the head and did not hurt his body. Who knew that these two people were so good that they killed a whole altar in one meal, which is really a tyrannical thing!

The emperor stared at Huangfu coldly and said, "Huangfu, the wine is all down, what else is there to be embarrassed about." ”

Huangfu turned around coldly and said: "Weichen is ashamed, it was Lord Lai who pulled me to drink, and he also threatened me to join me when I went to court today if I didn't drink with him." ”

Lai Si stared at the emperor who lowered his head and looked sincere, and said in his heart If I hadn't pulled it, I'm afraid you would have to open another altar.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said, "Laisi, is there such a thing?" Raiss bowed his head and said nothing.

The emperor looked at Huangfu again and asked coldly: "Sir said that the Qingqiu Kingdom will be disintegrated internally, what good ideas do you have for the inspector?" ”

Huangfu said coldly: "The Qingqiu Country is composed of nine tribes, large and small, of which the three larger tribes, the Harvey Clan, the Ganhe Clan, and the Qingyuan Tribe, determine the direction of the Qingqiu Country. According to the spies, the Harvey and the Qingyuan tribe have always been at odds, and the Ganhe tribe has always been neutral, so the attitude of the Ganhe tribe is very important to the other two tribes. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Once this Ganhe clan is co-opted by either side, the Qingqiu country will gradually become stable, which is not a good thing for us." ”

Huangfu sneered: "Your Majesty, rest easy, among the remaining six small tribes, my people have already contacted three, and they are willing to unite to resist these two major tribes." "The emperor applauded after hearing this, in this way, there will be chaos in Qingqiu, and the country will be too busy to take care of itself, how can he have the energy to care about the affairs of other countries' borders!
