"No! You and I both know it! This is very difficult! Even if it is another ten or twenty years, there will still be discrimination and prejudice between various ethnic groups in the kingdom!" Ye Gucheng said with a heavy expression: "And if this kind of discordant relationship cannot be eliminated, even if the kingdom is unified and there are no foreign enemies, there will still be endless internal strife! What will be the fate of the clansmen in the future, who can say clearly!"

Xuanyuan Jing seemed to know Ye Gucheng's intentions, and said solemnly: "The commander but there is an order, Xuanyuan Jing will not hesitate to do anything. ”

"Ben Shuai has ordered a group of children to be colored, and this group of children includes all races. Ye Gucheng stared at Xuanyuan solemnly and said: "Ben Shuai has only one requirement for you, to train them to become talents, I want them to be able to be literate and martial, the most important thing is that they can only remember one identity forever, Huaxia people!

"Xuanyuan Jing is just a martial artist, if he goes into battle to kill the enemy, it will be no longer a problem, but... In this context... Subordinate. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, Ben Shuai will arrange for others to assist you. ”

In this way, Xuanyuan Jing will definitely do his best and swear to live up to the trust of the commander. ”

"Okay!" Ye Gucheng was overjoyed and saluted deeply: "The future of the kingdom and the fate of the clansmen are entrusted to you!"

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Jing hurriedly wanted to return the salute, but he didn't want to touch the wound, and bared his teeth for a while.

Ye Gucheng chuckled and said, "You don't have to be polite! Take care of your injuries! After recovering, you will go to the appointment, and the appointment book will be issued later." ”

"Yes!"

Military Manufacturing Bureau.

The largest military equipment manufacturing base in Huaxia, where many military armor and weapons are produced.

In the main hall, there is a drawing on the rectangular wooden table, in which is a design drawing of the Zhuge Repeater, Ye Gucheng stands with his hands in his hands, and several principals accompany him quietly.

"What's the difficulty?"

"Technical overcoming!" one of the principals said respectfully: "The crossbow invented by the commander is unheard of by us, and it is a sharp weapon for a strong country!

On the side, the other director saw that Ye Gucheng didn't gnaw, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Actually, we have also studied some plans, and a few of them may work, but... The Construction Bureau is short of funds, and there are problems in the procurement of some materials! We have also asked the Ministry of Finance, but the Ministry of Finance has not responded for a long time!"

Ye Gucheng instantly understood! To put it bluntly, there was no money! This headache had also been tossed for a long time, and the treasures harvested from the temple and the rebellious ministers' homes had also been spent! Now the treasury of Guangcheng was still insufficient, not to mention the large amount of money that had been allocated to invest in research and development!

"There is no need to worry about the funds, it will be reached in a few days, this commander has only one requirement for you, power, range, accuracy, and loss must meet the standard. "Ye Gucheng didn't want others to know the current state of the treasury.

All the principals were overjoyed and gladly agreed.

Ye Gucheng walked out of the manufacturing bureau, and the calmness on his face gradually faded!

Increasing taxes may increase the revenue of the national treasury, but Ye Gucheng doesn't want to do this, he knows better than anyone that life is not easy, and the life of the common people at the bottom is even more difficult!

"Get ahead, Ministry of Finance!"

The convoy moved slowly.

The Chancellor's Mansion is magnificent, as far as the eye can see, carved dragons and phoenixes, and antiques and treasures can be seen everywhere, which is in stark contrast to the residences of most military generals.

Ye Gucheng stood proudly in the hall, looking around, his eyes flashing with anger.

A rush of footsteps sounded, and as soon as the Chancellor stepped into the hall, he knelt heavily on his knees and bowed his head, saying, "The minister does not know that the commander is coming, and he is late to take over, so I beg the commander to forgive me." ”

"Get up!"

"Commander Xie!" the Chancellor of the Exchequer stood nervously to one side.

Seeing this, Ye Gucheng grinned toothily and said slowly: "Don't be nervous, Ben Shuai just thought that he had never visited you, and he had nothing to do today, so he came to visit." ”

"Commander Xie cares, minister, panic!" The Minister of Finance's words are not false, although he doesn't know what Ye Gucheng's purpose is, but he knows that it must not be a good thing!

"I heard that the Manufacturing Bureau has asked the Ministry of Finance for instructions on manufacturing costs, but the Ministry of Finance has not responded for a long time, I don't know if it's true or not?" Ye Gucheng seemed to be careless, but his eyes became sharper and sharper.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer panicked and hurriedly said, "The Chancellor doesn't know, and there has never been such a recital below." ”

Ben Shuai said that the victory or defeat of the soldiers related to the manufacturing bureau, and even more importantly, whether the kingdom is stable and prosperous, how could Li Qing not know the key points! It seems that it is the people below who are not doing things well. ”

"Yes! Yes! The minister is derelict in his duties, and the minister will definitely investigate and deal with it strictly. The Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat.

"It should be strictly investigated, and those who do not do well will be dismissed. ”

"Yes!" the Chancellor of the Exchequer's waist was bent to the ground. "The silver taels required by the manufacturing bureau will be personally asked for approval by the minister. ”

"Very good!" Ye Gucheng smiled indifferently.

"It's just... Many places on the border need to be rebuilt, the cost is very high, and the treasury is unable to support it. I don't know what to do, I'm thinking about asking the commander-in-chief!" the Chancellor of the Exchequer glanced cautiously at the figure standing with his hands in his hands.

"Li Qing! Ben Shuai has also been sighing! It stands to reason that the kingdom is peaceful and the people are safe, why is the treasury vacant for a long time!"

That's not a good thing you did! Forget about disaster relief, what kind of free compulsory education, provide free education for countless civilians in the kingdom, and do not raise taxes, the treasury has been gradually emptied, and now it has just experienced internal strife from foreign enemies, and it is the first time that the loser has seen and defeated the country.

Of course, the Chancellor of the Exchequer didn't dare to say this, so he could only smile bitterly: "The minister is also incomprehensible!"

"Li Qing, this is yours!" Ye Gucheng's eyes were cold, and he said indifferently: "As the Minister of Finance, it is really taboo to not know how to manage money. ”

This pot is too wronged!

The Chancellor of the Exchequer came back to his senses, hurriedly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Minister... Confess the guilt, please punish the commander!"

"Don't take it as an example, get up!"

"Commander Xie!" the Chancellor of the Exchequer stood up in fear.

"Hey! Speaking of which, Ben Shuai also has a place of dereliction of duty! Knowing that the treasury is vacant, there are still countless antiques and treasures in the palace!" Ye Gucheng was full of self-blame, and then said slowly: "Ming Nishuai will order someone to send it to you, and you can arrange an auction." ”

It's this trick again!

The Chancellor's expression changed, he had a lot of pain in the last auction, and now Ye Gucheng's behavior, how could he not guess what he wanted!

"In addition, you can gather all the rich merchant tycoons in the kingdom, and Ben Shuai would like to meet them. ”

"Commander-in-chief ... What does this mean?" the Chancellor of the Exchequer suddenly had a bad feeling.

"If you shouldn't ask, don't ask!" Ye Gucheng's eyes were cold for no reason.

"Minister, confess!" the Chancellor of the Exchequer hurriedly buried his head.

"That's it! Ben Shuai was also tired, so he went back to the palace first. ”

"Congratulations to the commander-in-chief!" the Chancellor of the Exchequer looked at his distant back, and his expression was about to cry!

After a long time, he sighed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Someone is coming!"

The guards quickly entered.

"Get ready, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Yes!"

Nansheng Continent.

Beaulieu City.

"What did you say?" Tuoba Jing changed his previous composure and said in a loud voice: "Tell me again." ”

"General Tuoba personally led a large army deep into the hinterland of the enemy country, intending to be in the royal capital. The general was a little puzzled, this was an exciting good thing, why the third prince was angry.

"Tuoba is a fool, not enough to succeed and more to lose. Tuoba Jing was angry and slapped his palm on the table.

"Third Prince, if General Tuoba can set foot on the royal capital and destroy Ye Gucheng in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be a good thing for the kingdom? ”

"Destroy Ye Gucheng? Even the gods won't let him die, Tuoba will never be able to destroy Ye Gucheng?" Tuoba Jing smiled coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "If you can really destroy Ye Gucheng, it is a good thing, but if you can't destroy it, the wanton killing in the enemy country will not help Ye Gucheng instead, don't forget, Huaxia Kingdom is not those mediocre kingdoms, Ye Gucheng has won the hearts of the army, if you miss a blow, the whole country will hate the enemy, the army and the people will want, and Nansheng Kingdom will fight back." ”

The general was stunned, he didn't seem to think of this layer.

"The order is to step up the defense of the Western Regions border and guard against the invasion of China. ”

"Yes!" the general hurriedly agreed, thought for a moment, and said softly: "If the Northern Netherworld asks for help, what should our country do?"

"Take it, answer it, let it be!" Tuoba Jing gradually regained his composure.

The general understood his intentions and walked away quickly.

In the empty hall, Tuoba Jing frowned and paced back and forth, for a long time, and said in a loud voice: "Pass, Tuoba Gao." ”

Soon, a Wenchen walked in.

"See the Third Prince. ”

"Flat. ”

"Third Prince Xie. ”

"This king asked you to send envoys to the southern land, is there any news to send back?" Tuoba Jing thought of Zhang Hao, his eyes were as cold as water, and he could almost conclude that Zhang Hao had already rebelled, and if it wasn't for the extraordinary moment, he would definitely wave his army south.

Tuoba was stunned for a moment, and he wanted to speak and stopped.

Say. Tuoba Jing couldn't see it, and said indifferently: "Is there no news?"

Tuoba Gaoyi gritted his teeth and said prostrately: "Back to the third prince, the minister thinks that Tuoba Zhangqiu has lost his mind and gone crazy, he... He wrote back ... Most of the land in the south fell, and he pleaded for mercy and sent troops to support him. ”

"What do you mean?" Tuoba Jing's brows furrowed even more.

He said... He said... ”

"What are you talking about?" Tuoba Jing saw that Tuoba Gao was submissive, and as soon as he got angry, he couldn't wait to kick it over.

"Dead ... The Legion of the Dead is attacking ... The soldiers of Nantu were killed and wounded countless times, and they also said... These soldiers ... Now he is part of the army of the dead. ”

Tuoba Jing was stunned for no reason.

"The third prince forgives his sins. Tuoba Gao bowed his head again and again, he did not forget that the previous Minister of Military Aircraft was dismissed because of these unbelievable words.

Regarding the incident of the death army in Nantu, Tuoba Jing had heard a lot during this time, and he thought that it was just Zhang Hao's intention to fabricate the kingdom of chaos, and now the envoys sent out also said this, and he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

"Ordered Tuoba Shao Hua to lead 5,000 elites to Nantu to check the authenticity, if there is really any dead army, catch it and give this king a return to the royal city, this king wants to see what the dead army is. ”

"Yes!" Tuoba Gao was relieved.
