Chapter 242: Revenue
"Give me a moment...... Let me think about it, okay? Chelsea trembled violently, as if she might fall down at any moment, after all, the amount of information she received was so amazing that her brain couldn't function at all.
"Okay." Zhang Chai patted her on the shoulder and took the initiative to pour her a cup of tea, "Drink saliva and suppress the shock." ”
"Thank you......" Chelsea took the teacup and cleared the messy thoughts in her head as she sipped her tea, "you...... Can it really change this corrupt empire? ”
Zhang Chai nodded and said, "You know, I am the imperial general with real power, and I definitely have the ability to change the situation!" ”
Chelsea hesitated, "However, your official position was given by the minister, and you can really ...... Wait a minute! ”
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something very important, and couldn't help but glare: "I once heard that you are the minister's emperor!" What you just said...... You can't be lying to me, right?! ”
In Chelsea's impression, the image of Minister Earnest is basically associated with heinousness, and it seems that the source of all evil comes from Minister Earnest, so Chelsea has to be cautious.
"I don't have to lie to you! The minister is the minister, I am me, and the minister cannot be at my mercy. Zhang Chai didn't explain too much, because he knew that the more he explained this kind of thing, the more it would make people feel that it was a cover-up.
In fact, only some middle- and high-level imperial officials know about the fact that he is the 'Emperor', but one of the insiders, the internal affairs officer Sauer, is a spy of the revolutionary army, so it is not surprising that Chelsea knows that he is the 'Emperor'.
Chelsea was silent for a moment. Said slowly: "If you can kill the minister, then I will join your camp......"
Zhang Chai didn't think about it, and directly refused: "No! The Chancellor was the central figure of the Empire. Once the minister is dead, how many of those officials will obey the orders of the empire? At that time, the empire will be in turmoil, not only will the chaos not be pacified, but the war will become more and more intense! ”
Bang!
Chelsea put down the teacup heavily, and snorted disdainfully, "How can you change the empire by making such compromises?" If you don't kill the prime minister, the culprit, the country will be even more chaotic! ”
"You have been brainwashed too deeply by the revolutionary army!" Zhang Chai sneered and said, "Now you." I won't understand the importance of ministers at all! The Minister is not the main culprit in the decline of the Empire, on the contrary, the Minister has been trying to restore the decline of the Empire. However, the minister's ability alone is limited, and there has always been no significant effect, and the gang under him are all unruly, and secretly do a lot of bad things in the name of the minister. and the image of the Revolutionary Army in smearing imperial officials. Then, the minister in a high position must have become the first target to be smeared. ”
"You've just been brainwashed! If the culprit is not the minister, then who do you say? Although Chelsea had lost all her affection for the revolutionary army, Zhang Chai mocked the revolutionary army in front of her, and she still felt a little unhappy in her heart.
"Do you need to ask? The culprit, of course, is the war! Zhang Chai explained: "If there is no war, how can the people bear the heavy taxes? Over the years, there have been many wars, and military spending alone has accounted for half of the fiscal revenue. If this situation continues, will the problems of people's livelihood be solved? And also. If it weren't for the fact that the revolutionary army had been inciting the people to rebel, the empire would not have been so distracted by dealing with foreign enemies and distracted by suppressing the people, which led to the intensification of contradictions between the government and the people, and the increasing tension between the government and the people. ”
In terms of eloquence, Chelsea is naturally not as good as Zhang Chai, a modern person who can speak well, and Chelsea feels that what Zhang Chai said is indeed reasonable......
Her face was full of trouble, and she squirmed for a while before she whispered, "What if...... What you say is true, and I will assist you......"
Seeing that Chelsea had finally made up her mind, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Chai's face, and he immediately stretched out his hand to Chelsea and said sincerely: "Chelsea, you are welcome to join." ”
"Hmph, don't be too complacent, if I find out that you are lying to me, I will not help you." Chelsea tilted her head a little uncomfortably, and then gently shook Zhang's outstretched hand.
"Don't worry, I never like to deceive people, especially a cute girl like you, who is willing to deceive?" In addition to making a guarantee, Zhang Chai did not forget to praise her, and wanted to take the opportunity to mediate the atmosphere.
As he said, Chelsea is a beautiful and beautiful girl, and her unique youthful aura is very attractive.
When he first read the original book, he had a deep impression of Chelsea, and he regretted Chelsea's death for a long time.
Now that he has succeeded in taking Chelsea under his command, he will never let the tragedy of the original book be repeated, which is one of the important reasons why he has gone to great lengths to persuade Chelsea.
"Who wants you to praise me, I'm already very cute." Chelsea's face was slightly red, and she said with disgust.
"Hehe......" Zhang Chai smiled silently.
He knew that Chelsea was more adaptable, and her personality was cheerful and lively, and once she let go, she would not hold back.
After the two of them each smiled, Chelsea asked, "General, how can I help you in the future?" ”
Zhang Chai thought for a while and said, "You are not good at frontal combat, but your transformation ability is very special, and it will definitely come in handy in the future, so you can be my maid by my side first." ”
"When you're your maid?" Chelsea was stunned for a while, and then said dissatisfied: "Then don't I just have to do nothing?" You're underestimating me! I can infiltrate the Revolutionary Army and spy on you. ”
Zhang Chai immediately shook his head and said: "There's no need, besides, you still have feelings for the revolutionary army, I don't want to force you to do nasty things." ”
"Whew." Chelsea exhaled slightly, and she spread her hands disappreciatively: "Since I am already on your side, I will not be in a dilemma." ”
"Forget it, spies aren't that easy! You'll be my maid for the time being. Zhang Chai resolutely refused.
Chelsea's own strength is too weak, in case the revolutionary army finds a flaw, then her fate will undoubtedly be miserable, he doesn't want Chelsea to take this risk, after all, the tragic end of Chelsea in the original book impressed him too deeply, it is safer to stay by his side.
Chelsea licked the lollipop happily and muttered, "I really don't understand what you're thinking, you have to give up such a good opportunity...... Unlike people who are determined to do big things. ”
Although Chelsea was quite dissatisfied with this, Zhang Chai's expression of protection made her bad mood much better. (To be continued......)
