Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui took An Fu back to the National Teacher's Mansion. There are many more people waiting to celebrate Anfu's birthday.

Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui cordially mingled with the relatives, friends and dignitaries who came to congratulate and socialize. The day lasted until midnight.

The next day, Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui went to be busy early in the morning, since the big war was about to start, of course, the sooner the better.

It has been busy for three or four days, and the husband and wife finally have time to sit down and drink tea and chat. At this moment, it is already the weather of late autumn, and the chrysanthemums still have the last gorgeous days, and the two of them remembered that the various famous chrysanthemums in the garden were not appreciated, so they ordered to go down and enjoy the chrysanthemums in the distant mountain pavilion in the garden, only their family of three.

Qin Mingyue looked at the faint mountains in the West Mountain in the distance, the various famous chrysanthemums scattered around the pavilion, and the two tall ginkgo trees next to the pavilion, the ground was already a golden leaf shop, which was deliberately not cleaned and placed there to watch.

Qin Mingyue sighed and said, "Winter is coming, and after the New Year, the big war is probably about to begin, right?" ”

Xiao Rui looked at the wet nurse, and the grandmothers took the well-fed Anfu back to coax him to take a nap, and only the two of them were left in the pavilion, so he said, "It's not." The army has already prepared, grain and grass, it has been prepared for several years, and in the past few years, it was only to build some secret granaries on the border, and in the past few years, it has been full of grain and grass. The ordnance was also ready to stop, and it had already been transported to the secret warehouse on the border. We've overseen it. It's more than twice as powerful as the previous ordnance. ”

Qin Mingyue smiled: "Of course, first of all, we have been all over the world in the past few years to break the Twelve Talents Division, and every time we go to a place, Lord Xuangui will point us to a treasure or a mine." Gold and silver ore or something, we are not very rare, there is no way, his old man will try to point us out iron ore and the like, with so many iron ore, plus, the technology we got from the treasure of the Mo family, forging all kinds of alloys, creating a lot of weapons that we have only heard of before, can it be good? ”

Xiao Rui said: "If you want to talk about this, you are still smart, others get the treasure quietly, you are good, after getting the treasure of the Mo family, not only did you not hide it, but instead released the wind on the rivers and lakes with great fanfare, and in the end, it really attracted the hidden inheritance of the various factions of the Mo family." Now it's all for you, these people, plus the inheritance of their ancestors, of course make the best weapons? ”

"Not only ordnance, agricultural tools, looms for all kinds of purposes, but also new methods of firing porcelain, and even new methods of sauces, all kinds of strange things have new technologies. That's a lot of money for you. ”

Qin Mingyue glanced at Xiao Rui and said, "Do we still care about money?" At the beginning, which of my four national teacher industries was not a cornucopia, but if you look at me, since I got married, I have successively sold the technology of these four industries, not only so that our friends around me have made a fortune, but I myself have obtained no less than 40 million taels of silver for these technologies alone. Half of this silver went to the Daomen, used in Taoism, Taoist medicine, spiritual seed promotion, and Keats Hall, and half went into the emperor's inner treasury. Although the emperor did not say it, I also know that all this silver is used for your army. ”

"In addition to these 40 million taels of silver, as well as the past ten years, Lord Xuangui has pointed out to us several treasures, the things inside, slowly sold, add up, there are also 20 or 30 million taels of silver, these are of no use to me at all, they are all sent back to the capital and given to the emperor, not surprisingly, it should also be taken by you to raise the army."

Xiao Rui sighed and said, "There is no way, without this silver, where can so many brand-new weapons be made, where can such a strong army be trained?" ”

Qin Mingyue said: "We don't have much windfall now, in the future, we can't afford to raise your army, you better hurry up and fight and raise your army, right?" ”

Xiao Rui said: "Don't worry, as long as the fight starts next year and the monks don't participate, my army will definitely be invincible in the world." I will sweep the Three Kingdoms one by one. After the defeat of Great Xia, it is estimated that there were many casualties, and this is a huge expense for training the new army, purchasing and repairing ordnance, and compensating for casualties. However, I think that after the Great Xia is breached, their treasury should be able to meet our expenses. ”

Qin Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "If the nobles and nobles of Great Xia didn't jump over the wall in a hurry, their treasury and Wumen Treasury would not only be enough for our expenses for this war, but even for us to defeat the Great Shang." Therefore, the matter here must be arranged well, and I will discuss it with the people of the Star Washing Hall when I go back. There is no rush in this matter, there is still time to arrange. ”

Xiao Rui looked at Qin Mingyue and smiled, these things, his wife is the strong man, he can only fight, fight, he doesn't know about these.

Xiao Rui suddenly remembered something and said: "Mingyue, when you wanted to sell those four national teacher industries, everyone persuaded you not to sell them, after all, it was a golden rooster that made money." But look at it, you sold those national teacher industries, and you didn't get poor, and you still have about 10 million taels of silver a year, but you still make more money than when you had the national teacher industry? ”

Qin Mingyue laughed and said, "Others don't know, can you still not know?" What am I relying on? Didn't I rely on so many elixirs in the Jade Plate World? Nowadays, the Yupan World has developed into a place larger than the land of the Great Zhou. The total number of people in it has also reached tens of millions, otherwise, where did your five thousand martial sects and thirty-nine thousand masters come from? It can't be done just by relying on our Great Zhou. ”

"Today's Yupan world has four distinct seasons, there are oceans, continents, lakes, the sun, moon and stars in the sky, and even the place is larger than the Great Zhou, although there are tens of millions of people, but most of the area is still barren, fortunately, Shen'er sprinkled a circle of seeds, plus the Yupan world has a strong aura, and the speed of time is fast, and now all the continents are still vibrant. It's just that the population is too small, and the land used effectively is too little. ”

"Our elixir field is also expanding more and more, and there are special Daomen people in the Jade Pan World to manage it, which has eased Shen'er's work. The elixir produced is more, and I can't use it up myself, so I sell part of it to the Star Picking Tower every year, sell part of it to the palace, and sell part of it through the medicine shops of relatives and friends like Minghuan. However, just selling all kinds of elixirs has already brought me an income of almost 10 million taels of silver a year. Actually, if I need money, I can sell more. However, I don't want the elixir to overflow, so if I earn enough 10 million taels of silver every year, I won't sell it. ”

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "So, the people who were worried about your betrayal of the national teacher industry at the beginning are actually unfounded. Where will the national teacher be poor? ”
