"King Zhuang, the expansion of the army is very important, especially the number is twice as much, whether it is equipment or military rations, it is not something that my Chu State can afford now, please think twice!" Beside Cheng Jia, an old minister surnamed Sun knelt down on the court, tears flowed down his face, and he said that he did not agree to expand the army.

This is not because he doesn't want the Chu State to be strong, on the contrary, as the old minister of the Chu State, he hopes to see the day when the Chu State becomes the overlord of a powerful country.

However, he knew very well that this was not something that could be achieved overnight, just like expanding the army, it did not mean that if it was expanded twice, it could be expanded twice. Although granaries have been established in various places, it is not just food to feed the army

"I never fight uncertain battles, since I have said it, I must be prepared, I am very pleased with Sun Ping's patriotism, I don't seem to have some old ministers, I only think about my own glory and wealth."

As he spoke, his eyes on the weekend inadvertently glanced at the courtiers who bowed their heads and were silent, and said secretly in his heart. "It looks like we really need to train some talented people who can really contribute to the country to replace these parasites!"

Although these old and important ministers left behind by the Chu State seem to obey him, in fact, who knows what they really think in their hearts? All of them are scheming and have their own calculations in their hearts. It's all tough guys.

If you want to count it, the only people who can really be trusted on the weekend are Cheng Jia and the ministers who are subject to him, and the only one who is the old minister Qin Qian, whom he has single-handedly promoted.

What's more, Qin Qian and Cheng Jia clearly knew the current family background of the Chu State. The liquor shops and teahouses operated by the Nian Pole Department not only blossomed everywhere in the Chu State, but also opened a few in the Jin State and the Qin State, and now all of them are in a profitable state.

With these advances, the number of people in the army was completely depleted. King Zhuang wanted to expand his army, and they raised their hands and feet in favor. In addition, although Doujiao and Bao Jia didn't know the inside story, in view of the "poison", they didn't dare to jump out against any decision of King Zhuang.

It was precisely because of this that I learned on the weekend that there were moths like Liu Cheng in my court.

"Well, I have made up my mind about expanding the army, so I don't need to say anything more, I know what I know." glanced at Sun Ping over the weekend, such a loyal person still needs to be promoted.

With his departure, the weekend also ended the early dynasty, leaving only Cheng Jia and Qin Qian, intending to discuss the expansion of the army.

Actually, it's not a discussion, at most it's just a hello to the two of them. Let them do the ideological work of the other ministers, so that the ministers will not talk endlessly.

He is now full of money and full of confidence. After the expansion of the army was properly explained, he ordered his chamberlain to send summons to all the local prefectures and counties, and recruited nearly seventy percent of the craftsmen in the Chu State, and ordered them to build enough equipment for 100,000 people within three months at a salary half a percent higher than usual.

As for the raw materials needed to build the equipment, the national treasury was responsible for the preparation, and the specific matters were handed over to Cheng Jia's younger brother Cheng Pan to be responsible for the weekend.

Cheng Pan is a military general, and he is very familiar with the equipment of the army, and he is in charge of this matter, so he should be able to do it very well.

"King Zhuang, although his younger brother Cheng Pan is a military general, he is not familiar with things like transferring money and preparing raw materials. Weichen dared to ask King Zhuang to issue an order, and Weichen and his younger brother were responsible for this matter. In this way, it will not be necessary to abandon the younger brother and spend unnecessary money, which will increase the pressure on the treasury. ”

Cheng Jia knows very well what his younger brother is, if he leaves this matter to Cheng Pan, although there will be no big mess, but he will still do things like filling his pockets.

If it's just a few dozen taels of silver, it's fine. I was afraid that I would become a greedy person, and I would treat this matter as a money-making business, and I would put money into my pocket. When the time comes, the raising of armaments will be delayed, and the consequences will be unimaginable, and the entire family will bear the wrath of King Zhuang with him.

Especially, after seeing Liu Cheng's fate today, if possible, he really didn't want his younger brother to be in charge of this matter. However, it was King Zhuang who was appointed, so he could only be a little tired and accompany Cheng Pan on a trip.

"In that case, Cheng Jia! I will appoint you and Cheng Pan to be in charge of this matter together, and you must give me this matter properly, you know? ”

"Whoa!" Cheng Jia received the order and retreated. Qin Qian was left alone, still standing respectfully in place, waiting for the weekend's will.

Qin Qian's heart was like a mirror, since King Zhuang didn't let him leave, he naturally had something to do.

I was about to open my mouth on the weekend, but I saw a series of barrages pop up in the system: Host, it's not good. I was attacked.

Weekend was taken aback: "What's going on?" ”

"More on that later. You'll have to find a way to replenish my energy right away, or I'll probably break down and you'll stay in the Warring States period forever. ”

"What? System, do you dare to pit a little more? Where can I find energy for you at this time? "Fan Ji is the person with the most energy in this era, but it is impossible to unlock the energy in her body before letting King Zhuang dominate.

"Didn't you just take in a few concubines? One is called Xi Xuan, who is from Xi Guo and is the princess of Xi Guo. There is also a person named Lin Fei, who was sent by the local state and county of Chu State. All you need to do is unlock their energy, and I'll be able to use it. ”

The weekend was dumbfounded, and he didn't care about choosing a concubine at all. He didn't know what Xi Xuan Lin Fei was, whether it was round or flat. "Didn't you say you needed to refuel right away?"

"I'll hold on for a while. However, on the weekend, you have to unlock their energy in one day. ”

"Did the original researcher at the institute do it?" Asked over the weekend. The time he sabotaged the researcher's plot, the researcher would certainly not give up.

"Well, they want me to crash first, and then slowly find a way to control me."

After listening to what the system said over the weekend, the old god is still there.

"Why haven't you acted?" The system is in a hurry.

"I don't want to do day jobs, let's talk about what reward will be given to me if this thing is completed."

The system was stunned for a moment and asked, "You don't want to see Yuhuan Suyuan and them?" ”

"I've got to get something good for me to complete the mission, right?" Brothers have to settle accounts, not to mention that the system is a pit, three days and two ends to find various reasons to deduct his chasing women's coins, if you don't take this opportunity to make more money, then maybe soon his chasing women's coins will be deducted. In the face of stunning beauties like Fan Ji and Cai Yunxi, but he can't be intimate, then he will be suffocated as a eunuch sooner or later.
