Although Su Muzhi ate this meal very unnaturally, the fact that the king was able to invite him was enough to show that he valued him, which also made him very useful in his heart.

After retiring after eating, the palace maid came in to collect the dishes and chopsticks, and King Jing also began to complain: "Brother Wang, Su Muzhi is cold-blooded and ruthless, you should have punished him a long time ago." ”

"That's it!" Lu Chen interrupted her impatiently, and said with slight displeasure: "As a princess, General Su came here as a guest just now, look at you, how do you look like a princess!" ”

When he said this, King Jing didn't dare to refute it.

Afterwards, Lu Chen also beckoned to the third son, Lu Zheng, and said, "Stinky boy, come here." ”

"Mother" Lu Zheng shouted aggrievedly, clutching King Jing's sleeve tightly, for fear that Lu Chen would beat him again.

King Jing couldn't help but glance at Lu Chen.

"Huh? You little bunny! Come over to me! Lu Chen shouted again.

The fear of his father made the little guy not mention how wronged, and then, the family of three sat together, and Lu Chen also hugged Lu Zheng into his arms, touched his little head and said, "Father asked you, what have you learned in the past few days?" ”

Lu Zheng replied: "Mr. Yesterday had a teaching: although there are things that are easy to live in the world, one day is violent, ten days are cold, and there is no one who can live. ”

When Lu Chen heard this, he thought for a moment, and then asked, "Maybe you understand what it means?" ”

"Back to my father, these are not difficult." Lu Zheng said.

"Stinky boy, arrogant, this problem has to be changed!" Lu Chen said unhappily.

"Oh," Lu Zheng whispered.

The next day, the Military Academy.

For Lu Chen's royal order, Xia Baoshan didn't dare to be perfunctory, but took the real forty military sticks by himself, and after entering the hall, he saw him limping when he walked, and he was holding his waist with one hand, and some officers couldn't help but surround him and said: "Yo, Baoshan, what's wrong?" ”

"Looks like it's a stick."

"Fuck you! It's not your fault! Xia Baoshan was annoyed and angry, and pushed the two officers away.

At this moment, Su Muzhi walked in.

Seeing him, many of the generals of the former Tiger Power Army were shocked, and they immediately stood up straight, and said in a shocking voice: "Su Shuai! ”

Hearing the words 'Su Shuai', some of the other officers were also shocked.

People stood below, their waists straight, and they all looked at Su Muzhi without blinking, where was there still the phenomenon of chaos before.

In terms of military rank, Su Muzhi is much older than these officers.

He held the horsewhip together, walked to the officer who was the first to coax, and then unceremoniously whipped him twice on the chest, and said in a loud voice: "As an officer, in the academy, what kind of body is it to be noisy and frolic!" ”

The officer was whipped twice, but he dared not say a word, and he stood in place, his waist still straight, and he did not dare to make the slightest move.

Su Muzhi looked around for another week, and said angrily: "You are all arrogant and arrogant, you think how great you are!" This is the Military Academy! Although you are a fourth-grade military attaché, if you dare to disobey the rules and make trouble, you will be punished by military law! ”

He moved out of the military law, and when all the officers heard this, they couldn't help but slide their throats and swallow their spittle.

And after Su Muzhi came, these officers also began to be honest, and they no longer had the same appearance as before.

After this incident, a few days later, Lu Chen was in the court, and suddenly brought up another thing.

Now that the Yandi Great River Canal has not been completed, for the sake of the national treasury, Lu Chen can be said to have racked his brains, and in the end, he really thought of a clever plan.

On this day, he said in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty: "After these years of war, there are three kingdoms left in the world, and the palace of King Yan and the palace of King Zhang are all within my wind, such a big palace, of which there are not many palaces, empty there, it is really tyrannical, this king thought about it, decided to tear down the palace wall, in order to receive the market, and then sell the palace temple to the big merchants from all over the world." ”

Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and many people couldn't help but glance at each other left and right, and then, the imperial historian Lu Boyan came out and said: "O king, this, if you sell the Yan Palace, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”

"What's wrong?" Lu Chen asked rhetorically.

Lu Boyan swallowed his saliva, and said cautiously: "No matter what, that is also where the imperial court of Yan Kingdom is located, if it is sold as a residence, I am afraid that it will be criticized by the people." ”

"What is the Yan Kingdom's court, the Yan Kingdom has long been destroyed by this king! The current Yanwang Palace, staying there is just a decoration, Lord Lu told the king, if you don't tear down its palace wall, will it always be empty there? The king also has to send troops to garrison to prevent the people from entering the palace, which is extremely troublesome! Lu Chen said.

Hearing this, another minister stood up and said, "Weichen suggested that the Yan Wang Palace and the Zhang Wang Palace can be used as the king's palace, so that they can kill two birds with one stone." ”

"No need!" Lu Chen directly objected: "The matter of the palace is indifferent to this king, and a Yan Wang Palace, which covers an area of such a large area, if it can be sold, it will be a huge amount of gold and silver!" ”

"Coco, if the Qing King knows about this matter, I am afraid that he will make fun of the king, is the king not, do you want to think about it again." There is also a minister's way.

"Teasing?" Lu Chen smiled and said, "Then let him make fun of him, do you think this king will care about this?" What this king wants is a full treasury, and what he wants is military spending! With this huge amount of gold and silver, Yandi Water Conservancy can speed up the pace and complete it as soon as possible, what is not to make fun of! What's the use!? ”

At this time, Li Gongfu also stood up and said loudly: "I'm Wang Yingming! Weichen thought that since the Yan Kingdom and the Zhang Kingdom had perished, there should not be the existence of the Yan Palace and the Zhang Palace, and it was the best policy to sell them. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Huairen also stood up and said: "The minister also thinks that the king's policy is feasible, and the sooner the Yandi water conservancy is completed, the sooner our country's national strength can be accumulated." ”

"Yes." Lu Chen nodded, and then immediately decided: "This matter is so decided!" The right minister can be fully responsible, and as for the matter of the big businessman, the king will contact someone. ”

"Wechen takes orders." Xue Huairen said.

After going down, Lu Chen returned to the study, also called Liang Xiao, and said to him: "Luo Chen, that big businessman in Yujing, do you remember?" ”

"I still remember that this person is generous and spends money like dirt, and I am afraid that the money in his family has long been rich and rivals the country." Liang said with a smile.

"Yes." Lu Chen nodded and said, "This person is one of the top two giant merchants in the empire, you send someone to Yujing and ask him if he is interested in Yanwang Palace." ”

"No." Liang Xiao hurriedly responded.

Subsequently, Lu Chen ordered the palace wall of Yanwang Palace to be demolished, so that this place could no longer be called a palace.
