Chapter 458: Some Things Must Be Changed
Without Yu Xilang's interjection, Xiao Meier told the whole story of the matter.
"This Eastern Monarch and the Eastern Monarch are too affectionate!" After listening to what Xiao Meier said, Huo Dongpeng was also full of emotion in his heart.
"This Oriental Monarch is greedy for profit, but the Oriental Monarch is too ruthless. It's not that his methods of governing the city-state are more violent, but he is also a thoughtful and decisive emperor. He Weijie was also uneasy: "If this Eastern Monarch is really good for Changyi City, he shouldn't have lost such a good helper as the former city lord of Yuncheng, it's a pity that the former city lord died so young!"
"The two are worthy of being father and son, one is virtuous!" After Yu Xilang commented on Dongfang Jue and Dongfang Rui, he asked Huo Dongpeng, and He Weijie said: "After talking about it for so long, I still don't know what kind of benefits Dongfang Jue said he wanted to give to the two monarchs at that time?"
This is also what Long Tingxiao, Zhang Mengjie, Yu Xiyao, and Xiao Meier want to know, so they all looked at the two.
Huo Dongpeng said in the eyes of everyone: "After the Eastern Lord said that the Dragon Monarch has the intention of dominating the world, he said that he could give the weapons of the Momo Kingdom to protect himself when the Dragon City attacked the Momo Kingdom. He also said that if the defense was successful, Changyi City would definitely coexist peacefully with Momo Kingdom. Speaking of this, Huo Dongpeng laughed at himself: "If the Dragon Monarch really has the heart to deal with Momo Country, even if Gu accepts the weapon of the Eastern Prince, not to mention that there is gunpowder in Dragon City, even if there is none, the total number of people in Momo Country is not as large as the number of people in a city of Dragon City, except for the thousands of soldiers guarding the Imperial City, the others are ordinary people, what is the use of that weapon in Momo Country?"
Long Tingxiao said to He Weijie: "Dongfang Jue is also good for Monarch He?"
He Weijie nodded embarrassedly.
Long Tingxiao smiled and said: "Dongfang Jue wants to win people's hearts with this sincerity, or does he think that Changyi City has a perfect grasp of dominating the world?"
Zhang Mengjie also smiled and said: "The emperor's words are wrong, the Xue monarch of this tin country was not moved by Dongfang Jue's words!"
"That's right!" Long Tingxiao smiled faintly.
At this time, Yu Xiyao was inexplicably shocked in his heart, thinking of his impetuous prince brother Yu Xizhao, hoping that something would happen to Yusha Country.
"Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?" Yu Xilang asked when he saw Yu Xiyao's strange appearance.
"It's fine." Yu Xiyao didn't want his inexplicable thoughts to make Yu Xilang annoy him.
Yu Xilang thought that Yu Xiyao was because of the ambition of Dongfang Jue's father and son, so he didn't think much about it.
"If the Eastern Monarch really has the intention of dominating the world, the Dragon Monarch really won't use gunpowder when the two armies face off?" He Weijie asked.
Long Tingxiao said: "It will not be a last resort. The damage of this gunpowder is too great, and the use of gunpowder is very beneficial to Dragon City, but no matter what the other party's purpose is, they are also living people. Many of them are unwilling to help the abuse, but they have no choice but to do it in their position. Besides, now Dongfang Jue's intention to dominate the world is just our speculation, and I still think that if it can be resolved peacefully, it will be resolved peacefully. If you can't, keep the damage to a minimum. ”
"If all the strong people have such a heart as the Dragon Monarch, the world will be peaceful!" Huo Dongpeng smiled bitterly.
Everyone here knows that if you believe that Dongfang Jue does not have the heart to dominate the world, it is self-deception.
"This palace doesn't have such a mind when it comes to Emperor Huo!" Zhang Mengjie said: "Now let's not go to those who don't hurt our spirits." This palace wants to ask Huo Jun, does Momo Country have any other food besides rice? ”
"I wonder why the queen asks this?" Huo Dongpeng knew very well that in addition to rice, it was impossible for Longcheng to buy other grains.
Zhang Mengjie said: "If Monarch Huo can trust the palace, tell the palace the questions first, and then the palace will tell you the meaning of the palace."
Huo Dongpeng said: "Actually, it's not a secret that there is any food in Momo Country like gunpowder in Dragon City, even if you don't say it, just ask the people you know, so it's not a question of believing it or not." The queen had the heart to ask, so why not tell Lonely. In addition to rice, in addition to the grain grown, ordinary grain can be seen in Momo country. ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "As the palace said just now, Monarch Huo is also a good monarch who loves the people, and we think about what we don't have now, so it's better to think about it."
Huo Dongpeng said: "The queen is in love!" I wonder what the queen means? ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Just now, Longcheng and the two countries negotiated the sale of grain. But although the raincoat matter has not been negotiated, no matter how you say it, the two countries will not be able to buy a raincoat for 2.5 million taels of silver, so the exchange that the palace said is too much. ”
Huo Dongpeng said: "The queen doesn't know how much food Longcheng has to buy to think so. How did the queen live? ”
Zhang Mengjie knew that Huo Dongpeng was giving herself a step, but she also considered it improper, how could the food of a city person be compared to the silver of a country's clothes.
"This palace just likes Monarch Huo's bearing, so it will give Monarch Huo some more proposals."
Although Huo Dongpeng didn't know what Zhang Mengjie's proposal was, he knew very well that it was a good thing, so he looked at Zhang Mengjie with bright eyes.
"This palace doesn't know how much land there is in other city-states, but there must be some city-states like Dragon City when there will be a shortage of food, so when the two countries can send envoys to other city-states, find an opportunity to communicate with the envoys of each city-state, saying that the two countries can sell grain to them when they are in need." Although Zhang Mengjie has always praised Huo Dongpeng, she said that the two countries were talking about the two countries when she gave advice, which also made He Weijie not lose a lot of face.
"The queen's suggestion is good, but it doesn't necessarily pay off." Huo Dongpeng said.
Zhang Mengjie said: "This palace knows, and this is what this palace will say next." Food is not enough, but some things are very popular in a different way. Just like flour, when it is flour sold for silver, it can be made into cakes, and it is delicious, not only sought after but also sold at a high price. ”
"Everyone understands this truth, but I don't know what it has to do with the grain we grow, we can't turn the grain into cakes and sell it, right?" Huo Dongpeng still didn't understand what Zhang Mengjie meant.
Zhang Mengjie smiled: "Monarch Huo is wrong and right."
Huo Dongpeng had a feeling of confusion.
Zhang Mengjie said: "Monarch Huo may think that the common people grow rice and rice, flour is sold by merchants, and pastries are sold by pastry shops. As everyone knows, there are some things that anyone can sell to those in need as long as they are willing to put their mind to it. ”
He Weijie listened to it for a long time: "Lone still doesn't understand what the queen means."
Zhang Mengjie said: "The two monarchs are not merchants, they are not laboring people, and it is not embarrassing to not understand what the palace said. When the two monarchs have lunch in the Luanfeng Palace, the palace will tell you the reason, and the reason may be clear. ”
"Is today's lunch cooked by Sister Jie'er and Sister Mei'er?" As soon as Zhang Mengjie's words fell, a childish voice was heard. (To be continued.) )
