Even if Lu Cheng said the ministers dumbfounded, the ministers still refused to let go.

The essential skill of a courtier is, of course, to have a thick skin.

How can a thin-skinned person live a moisturized life in the imperial court?

After all, people are not sages, and slapping their faces will always happen, and it is especially important to have a cheeky skin at this time.

Can such a thing as a slap in the face be called a slap in the face? That's called growth!

If you play with a thick skin, you will be thicker, and if you have a thick skin, won't it be stronger.

If Lu Cheng insists on going his own way, it really can't work.

The escort of grain and grass on this road needs people.

The manufacture of this weapon requires man.

This logistical support also requires people.

What is the war fought? The big thing about fighting a war is logistics.

To fight a war is to burn money!

In the old story of Jianzhao, why was Da Zhou able to achieve the final victory?

A large part of the reason is that Da Zhou has money, a thick foundation, and can afford it.

Which battle in the old things of Jianzhao is not won, but won.

In fact, Lu Cheng knew what they cared about, just like Chen Chuan, the head of the household department, repeatedly mentioned that the treasury was overwhelmed, what did he care about, didn't he care about money?

They don't care how many people die underneath, what they care about is the money and food spent, and whether they can recover their capital.

In the past, Da Zhou has been losing money and fighting with Beidi. If you win, you won't be able to harvest anything, not to mention that you will spend a lot of grain and grass, and if you lose, you will lose more grain and grass when you enter the big week.

On the other hand, Beidi, every war launched by Beidi can gain something, whether it is won or lost, there is always some gain.

Not once Beidi went south, they were able to plunder a lot of things from the Great Zhou. In the eyes of the Beidi people, everything in the Great Zhou is useful and valuable to them. It even includes quilts, cloth clothes, clay pots, and so on in some people's homes.

Every war between Da Zhou and Beidi, no matter who loses or wins, Da Zhou always loses something, but can't get something, on the contrary, Beidi can always gain something, and the loss will not be a big loss.

The inequality in the access to benefits made Da Zhou often reluctant to go to war with Beidi.

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.

No benefits, no benefits, what kind of war? Isn't it good to develop the country well?

As for the border cities that are often invaded by Beidi in a small area, they can still be tolerated, after all, compared with the losses of being invaded, there will be more losses in the war, and no matter whether they win or lose, the losses cannot be replenished.

This is actually the opinion of most courtiers.

Lu Cheng looked around, and then said firmly: "This battle is funded by the inner library, Beidi can be regarded as betting on the family this time, the opportunity is rare, this battle can calm the north for more than ten years, and after this battle, the people of the border city can be plundered." It's hard to miss such a good opportunity! ”

The inner treasury's contribution suddenly brightened the eyes of some courtiers, and it was still possible to consider not letting them pay.

But they are courtiers, although they have thick skin, but they still have to be doughy, and they are tempted but cannot act immediately.

If they won, they will write a memoir of their later years.

If you lose......

Thinking about it again, it's hard to know whether you win or lose in such a thing as war.

It's really not good, and if you lose, you will push it to the emperor. Ah, no! Originally, the emperor pushed for war, how can it be said that it was pushed to the emperor?

Yes, that's it!

This can be a very guilty routine.

In a disaster year, whose pot is it? Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven, if it's not the Son of Heaven, can a pot still be me, a mortal man?

In the end, with mutual compromise between all parties, the counteroffensive was passed, the leader was chosen, and some details were almost finalized.

No matter what the process is, Lu Cheng is quite satisfied with the result.

Beidi this time, I want you to lose your wife and break your soldiers!
