Chapter 845: Raised Fist (Twenty-Five)
Originally, he was still very excited when he asked the question, and he thought that the ambassadors had returned with positive news. But seeing the sad look on Lenta's face, he knew that the matter was not so optimistic.
Then he asked again and said, "Prime Minister, don't these countries want us to set up a supervisory ambassador?" He asked, a little nervous.
"Oh, not really." Renta said.
Hearing this, I was a little relieved. Then he asked, "What's going on then?" ”
Lenta continued: "Holy Lord, the envoys sent by the ministers were all captured and killed by the Han army. In other words, none of the westward bound people were able to pass, but they were all sacrificed. ”
After listening to Lunta's words, he slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "It's the Han army again." ”
Lunta said: "Holy Lord, now the Han army has blocked the only mountain road from the mountainous area north of Pingliang Prefecture to the west, plus the main road of Pingliang Prefecture. At this point, the road directly from Middle-earth to the west was blocked. If we want to go to the west again, we have to take a detour from the desert to Shenlong Mountain. ”
The stunned said, "That will add a month to the journey." ”
"yes, but there's no other way around it now." Renta said.
"Then you're sending someone again?" Na asked stunned.
"When I returned to the Holy Lord, the minister had already sent someone out again. It is estimated that it will be two months later. However, the minister has changed his strategy. Renta said.
Na stunned asked, "What strategy?" ”
Lenta said: "The minister has already issued an edict directly to the countries in the name of the saint, and the people sent by the minister do not need to be consulted, and will take office directly. Exercising interference in the politics of individual countries. ”
After listening to this, he first frowned and thought about it, and then nodded.
"Due to the urgency of the matter, the minister did not report to the Holy God in advance. Please also condemn with both hands. Renta bent down and said.
He was stunned and said, "I forgive you for your innocence." ”
Lenta said, "Thank you, Holy One. ”
Na was stunned and said, "You did the right thing, this will save time." Otherwise, the four months of going back and forth, plus another two months of the people who were sent, would have passed the half year. This year's New Year's Offering has made them mixed up again. ”
Lenta said, "That's why the minister thinks so, that's why he uses the Holy Lord's message." ”
Na nodded in a daze, pondered for a moment, and said, "I hope these people you sent don't encounter strong resistance!" ”
"Rest assured, Lord, don't forget that we have all the armies of the nations under our control. Moreover, we have troops stationed in various countries. They don't dare to disobey. ”
Na nodded in a daze, thought for a while, and said, "Lunta, since you sent people, then you will empty these countries to me." ”
Lenta said ruthlessly: "Don't worry, Holy Lord, the minister has already explained to them, to get the greatest benefit, don't spare the lives of the local people." Now the imperial court needs money, and the more the better. ”
The stunned listener and smiled, satisfied with what Renta had done. Since it is already a loot of these vassal states, it is necessary to loot them all, and the looting is all over the place.
Lenta continued: "Holy Lord, the minister has already told these people that after they go, they will first contact the local army and let the army back up. so as not to be revolted by the local rulers. ”
"Okay, the prime minister did a good job, it seems that I was right to let you be the prime minister." A smile finally appeared on his stunned face.
"Thank you for your praise, and you will do your best." Renta bowed and said.
"Well, when this is done, I will celebrate your success, and then I will say goodbye to you. From now on, you will be my stunned royal family. He said with a big wave of his hand.
This is the highest reward for Renta. It is also a great honor. When Renta heard this, she immediately fell to her knees and gave thanks.
"Thank you, Holy Grace." Renta kowtowed.
He smiled and said, "Get up, you haven't finished your task yet!" ”
Lenta stood up and said, "It's the Holy One." ”
He was stunned and said, "I am the motivation for you." ”
"I understand." Renta said.
"It's good that you understand, there is nothing I lack now but silver and gold." Na said stunned.
"Your Majesty," said Lenta, "the Lord estimates that if these countries are hollowed out, the gold and silver obtained will last for at least five years. ”
"So many?" Na asked stunned.
Lenta said: "Holy Lord, our Great Yang Dynasty has a total of sixteen vassal states, and each country has taken out 500,000 taels of silver, which is nearly 10 million taels of silver. And occasionally, the annual military expenditure is 1.2 million taels, so that five years is more than enough. ”
After listening to Lenta's calculations, the stunned little eyes suddenly lit up. With a beautiful smile, her eyes seem to be full of gold and silver.
Then, as soon as he came back to his senses, he said: "If it is really weak, then we don't have to be afraid of the Han army." And it will definitely be able to hold on to the land that we have now. ”
Lenta nodded and said, "What the Holy Lord said is right, as long as we have enough troops in the Great Yang Dynasty, it is impossible for the Han army to do anything to us." A sneak attack like Pingliangzhou will not appear again. ”
Na was stunned and said: "But this Han army is extremely cunning, sometimes I feel that it is impossible to prevent it!" ”
"Therefore, the minister thinks that the army should implement a system of patrolling the whole territory and try to find loopholes that may be caught by the Han army. Sit to the defense without leaking. ”
"Well, well, you'll do all that. Now in this court, I can only trust you. Other people are doing things, I really don't feel at ease! He said in a daze.
"Thank you for the trust of the saints, the ministers will definitely not fail the grace of the saints." Renta bowed and said.
"Okay, I'm just waiting for your good news!" Na said stunned.
"Yes, Holy." Renta said.
"Alright, if nothing else, you can go down! I feel tired and want to rest. He said in a daze.
Lenta said: "The saint has been worrying about state affairs these days, and he must have been too tired. Do you want to find a doctor to take a look? The medical skills of this Han people are still very good. ”
"No need, I'm just tired, just take a rest." Na shook his head and said.
Lenta bowed again and said, "Then the minister will leave." ”
"Well, there you go!" He waved his hand and said.
Renta turned and stepped back. He was stunned and held his head with his hand, and he felt a little headache. He wanted to talk to Lenta more and study the development of the economy, but his headache was too great. He held back, but didn't let Renta see it.
He had such a headache for a month now, and he thought it was the cause of poor sleep. So he's going to sleep now. However, whether you can fall asleep or not is another matter. The insomnia caused by the heavy mind is too painful.
