Chapter 71: Feng Chen's helplessness

On the second day, the weather was clear. Meng Li, who came to the appointment, took Guo Jia, Dian Wei and all the guards to the mansion of Feng Chen, the left envoy of the Privy Council, who sent out the banquet signal yesterday.

And Feng Chen, the left envoy who was waiting there at the gate of the mansion, saw Meng Li's horse team and walked forward quickly to consult.

"Feng Chen, the left envoy of the Privy Council, has seen His Highness~"

Although it was a courtier's greeting gift, after Feng Chen, a hawkish figure in the army, it came with a sense of coolness and slaughter.

"The left envoy hurry up~"

Different from ordinary people's courtesy, Meng Li will indifferently return to the word flat. This left envoy can be said to be an important person who controls Meng Li's salary in the next few years, so why not have a good relationship, or even get in an equal position! Meng Li, who was prancing off the horse, was ready to step forward and hold the arms of the left envoy. A gentleman can bend and stretch, and he wants to be a hero in troubled times, what is this!

"Your Royal Highness Thank you for your love~"

Feng Chen, who took advantage of the situation, did not put on any shelf, but asked Meng Li very seriously to go first, and he led Meng Li in a position behind.

"You wait outside the house~"

Meng Li, who had said a word to the guards behind him, turned around and prepared to enter this Feng Chen's mansion.

"Feng Nan, don't hurry up and lead all the military masters to take a rest."

Meng Li said so, but Feng Chen still couldn't let it go at this time, they were all Meng Li's personal guards, what do you want to express by throwing people outside the mansion?

Hearing Feng Chen's words, Meng Li continued to stride forward without saying anything, while Feng Chen hurriedly trotted to catch up with Meng Li after saying that, and continued to guide Meng Li's progress in a position behind him.

"Your Highness, please take a seat~"

The hall of Feng Chen's mansion was also full of simple colors, without the slightest luxury and atmosphere that a second-grade master should have. The bottles and cans in the hall are all useful, and the paintings around them are painted with all kinds of images of military battles. Meng Li, who had been in the capital for more than a month, felt a little uncomfortable.

"Please~"

Meng Liyan, who came to sit down on the upper seat, said to Feng Chen with his hand.

"Your Highness, regarding the situation of this ration, Your Highness will tell Your Highness in detail here."

After picking up an account book on the table, Feng Chen took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"His Royal Highness's 30,000 new troops need 300,000 deniers of grain and grass every year, and 200,000 taels of military salaries, and it will take time for the Privy Council to raise these grains and grasses, and it will not be able to take out the food and salary from the treasury to supplement the needs of Yannan Province, so His Royal Highness will send troops to the capital to escort the grain and salary back to Yannan Province after the autumn harvest every year. As for next year's food and salary, His Majesty decided to allocate some from the treasury this autumn to allow His Highness to transport it back to Yannan Province, of course, the amount may be less than a year's needs, but if His Highness starts to prepare for the army expansion plan in the spring of next year, it will still be enough~"

Without waiting for Meng Li to answer, Feng Chen followed closely and said: "Of course, there are also ordnance and war horses, the capital will allocate a set of ordnance and two thousand war horses enough for 30,000 people in the spring of next year, and there will be 10,000 people of ordnance and 1,000 war horses every year in the future, this is already the greatest support that the capital has done to you, after all, my kingdom has adhered to the concept of peace and stability for a hundred years, and it is impossible to build armor on a large scale to make other countries doubt the birth of my kingdom, like this, It has already squeezed out a large number of armor and equipment from my kingdom to His Highness, and His Highness must understand the importance that His Majesty attaches to the Northern Expedition to the grassland. Of course, within the scope of my personal authority, I can also give His Highness a few sets of Zhan Kai's construction drawings and mobilize hundreds of catties of fine iron to His Highness, which is a small expression of the Northern Expedition. ”

"Oh? That's thanks to Feng Zuo's envoy~" As soon as he heard that there was still Zhan Kai's construction map and the hard-won support of fine iron, Meng Li was sincerely moved, this is not something easy to obtain.

In this era of stability in the continental environment, various countries have transferred the ordnance and equipment developed on the surface to the underground, so that a good Zhan Kai has never appeared on the battlefield, so it has caused that now, a good Zhan Kai design can even be exchanged for a small county town at such a big price.

Of course, the price is for some small forces that are incapable of development, and the big forces have all thrown money and people to conduct research, so how can this kind of thing be carried out.

And what Meng Li lacks most now is time, and what he needs most is time. He has no background, and now he is just relying on the assistance of the system to falter on the road of dominating the world, as long as he falls unsteadily, he will no longer have the opportunity to get up and continue to fight~

And now, what a precious treasure it is for him to be given the design of Zhan Kai and the refined iron for forging a hundred refining weapons, given to him by Feng Chen, the left envoy of the Privy Council! I can't help but be moved, but why did he give me so many things?

"Haha, Your Highness has the opportunity to expand the territory, but Chen can only stay in this capital of singing and dancing, he~"

Looking at Meng Li, who sighed helplessly at Feng Chen, he suddenly had a feeling of understanding. It turned out that the left envoy of the Privy Council was a hawkish figure, and he was helpless to be pressed by the court seeking stability in this peaceful capital, and it was also in his temperament to give himself the help of Yannanhou, who was about to kill for the lord of the country.

"Feng Zuo envoy don't mourn himself, the court said that he had no other intentions~"

Seeing that Feng Chen had a depressed mentality, Meng Li couldn't help but comfort him, he was also a military figure who loved to fight and was placed in this place in the capital, although the level was raised, but it was better to let him be a soldier to be happier~

"Anything else? Hmph~"

After gulping down a cup of tea, he slammed the cup on the table with a sense of indignation.

"Although I, Feng Chen, am a martial artist, I also know that this thousand-year-old tribulation will come soon, so why don't I take advantage of this last opportunity to hone my generals and let them see the blood. Otherwise, we will use a group of soldiers who are still trembling on the battlefield to deal with this catastrophe! ”

"The left envoy is angry, the left envoy is angry~" Looking at Feng Chen, who was angry with himself, Guo Jia, who was sitting on the side, persuaded him with a wry smile, this is to invite us to vent the dissatisfaction in our hearts~

"Yannanhou, you can defeat the Northern Huns with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, my old Feng admires it so much! It's a pity that you can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and drink blood with Your Highness. Alas, I, Feng Chen, also know that the opportunity for Yannan Hou to send troops this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I can't go to the battlefield, so this battle plan and fine iron are all Lao Feng's contributions, and my Lao Feng participated in this battle~"

At this moment, Feng Chen, the left envoy of the Privy Council, was babbling like an old woman, and his words all revealed his desire and expectation for the battlefield.

"Haha, that Gu will accept Feng Zuo's intentions, chaos is coming, and talents like Feng Zuo will come in handy at that time~"

Today's Meng Li has discovered the cuteness of this Feng Chen, not to mention the ability to experience and fight abroad, and his mind is still simple, this kind of character is only the favorite subordinate of every person in power. If it weren't for the fact that the situation on the mainland was becoming increasingly tense now, and the emperor who didn't want to provoke disputes put him in the capital, otherwise, a figure like Feng Chen would definitely be appointed as a party leader.

"Then my old Feng should be looking forward to the chaos in the world?"

Feng Chen, who shook his head a little helplessly, was also speechless, the chaos in the world is something that everyone does not want to experience, the national war is together, all the people are soldiers, and the slaughter of cities is even more common, and the dead are the death of one city after another. But on the other hand, if the world is not in chaos, he has to honestly stay in this capital where he can only deal with some trivial things on weekdays, how can he raise the long soldiers, step on the war horse and rush to the battlefield? So, whether he should look forward to it or not, he is a little entangled~

At this moment, Meng Li and Guo Jia glanced at each other speechlessly, how should they answer this~

"Oh, by the way, Chen has a nephew who gave up his position as a border pass when Chen was ordered to be transferred to the capital to accompany me, an old fellow~, and now Yannanhou is preparing for the Northern Expedition, so he will take him with him, and he will accompany me in this capital with nothing to do."

Feng Chen, who seemed to suddenly remember something, said again.

"Oh? This young man was able to give up the battlefield to accompany the left envoy, and this temperament and perseverance alone were worth it, and he accepted it~"

After fighting at the border for many years, he suddenly gave up his position and accompanied his uncle back to Beijing, and his perseverance was really not underestimated. As for the nature of the heart? If it's not good, then Feng Chen, a clear-eyed person, won't recommend it to himself.

"Okay, then, Feng Jun, you came out to see Yannanhou."

Behind the screen came a young man, with a white face and a sharp and angular face.

"Grass people Feng Jun has seen His Highness~"

There was a solemnity in the voice, rather than the frivolity and sharpness of young people.

"Well, Lone will accept you, Feng Zuo, it seems that the purpose of inviting Lone to come today is not pure~"

After seeing this Feng Chen recommend his nephew to join his command, Meng Li felt that the relationship between the two had suddenly become closer, so he laughed easily.

"Haha, Lao Feng is just looking for a way out for this child today, please allow a wine banquet to apologize for the offense, Your Highness, please~"

"Oh? That lonely is going to eat two glasses of wine from you~"
