The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Wu Mingkong sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face.

Although before going to Zuo Xiaowei, he was already mentally prepared.

But I didn't expect that armaments could be wasted to such a degree.

The Zuo Xiaowei of Gongwei Chang'an is like this, not to mention the Zhichong Mansion in various places.

No wonder in the face of foreign enemies before, Fang Xiu always compromised.

It turned out that it was not that he was weak, but that he knew that it was impossible for Daqian's army to win against any enemy!

Come to think of this.

Wu Mingkong couldn't help but look at Fang Xiu and said, "I know, you have a way, tell me what you plan to do." ”

Fang Xiu said: "The minister doesn't understand what His Majesty is talking about. ”

Wu Mingkong said: "You know! ”

Fang Xiu said: "The minister doesn't understand. ”

[Mood +1000]

Wu Mingkong took a deep breath and said, "As long as you tell me, I can reward you with the Huren Dancing Girl who entered the palace last year." ”

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows, looked like a decent gentleman, and said loudly: "Could it be that in the eyes of Your Majesty, the minister is a womanizer who only knows how to be lustful?" ”

Wu Mingkong nodded seriously.

"Of course!"

"I still remember that day in Yirenju, your eyes never took off the legs of those dancing girls."

"The Hu people and dancers in my palace have longer legs than them."

Fang Xiu: "......"

It seems that this little empress has some misunderstandings about herself.

The posture of those dancing girls, not to mention Daji, Yang Yu, or Lin Wan'er, may not be comparable.

How could I possibly look down on them.

Fang Xiu was silent for a moment, looked at the empress, and asked, "What about how to compare with Your Majesty?" ”

The empress also has a pair of long, slender and straight legs.

"If you tease me again, I'll fight with you!"

Wu Mingkong's silver teeth clenched and glared angrily.

[Mood +3000]

The system prompt sounds.

Adhering to the concept of thin water and long flow.

Fang Xiu accepted it when he saw that it was good, and returned to the topic: "Your Majesty wants to know, how to improve the combat power of the Zhichong Mansion?" ”

Wu Mingkong took a deep breath, calmed down, and replied, "Yes." ”

Fang Xiu said: "Your Majesty has also seen the current situation of Zhechong Mansion, don't say that the ministers, even the immortals, may not be able to change it." ”

Wu Ming said hollowly: You said that you were an immortal before.

She thought for a moment and said, "Then how are you going to rearmament?" ”

When Fang Xiu heard this, he subconsciously glanced at her.

"Why is Your Majesty so sure that there is a way to rearmament?"

There is no why.

I just know.

Wu Mingkong suddenly had such a thought in his heart.

But when you say it, it becomes.

"I just asked casually."

Fang Xiu said: "Your Majesty really thinks so? ”

Wu Mingkong didn't speak, just looked at Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu was a little embarrassed by her, cleared his throat, and said:

"The armaments have been depleted to such a point that it is almost impossible to reverse them."

"In that case, why not abolish the Ochichong Mansion and change to a conscription system."

"Recruit young and strong people all over the country, provide weapons and equipment by the imperial court, regularly distribute salaries, train every day, and in less than half a year, you can get a real elite!"

Conscription?

Wu Mingkong was slightly stunned, and then his face was thoughtful.

After a while, he said: "The imperial court does not have so much food and silver to support them. ”

Fang Xiu said: "Don't worry about the problem of food, the first batch of sweet potatoes is about to ripen, although it cannot be used as a staple food, but the yield is high enough, with rice, it can effectively solve the food crisis." ”

"As for the silver, with the three million taels of silver sent by Wu Guo, it is just enough to support an elite team of 10,000 people."

When Wu Mingkong heard this, he hesitated and said, "That amount of silver can only solve the urgent need, not a long-term solution. ”

Although she has been on the throne for less than half a year, she handles the recitals every day and is very familiar with political affairs.

I know it in my heart.

The big drought is barren, and even if there are sweet potatoes, they may not be able to support an elite army that is out of production.

Fang Xiu said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why the minister has been suppressing the output of sugar and monosodium glutamate and only selling them in Chang'an?" ”

Wu Mingkong heard this sentence without a beginning or an end, thought about it, and replied: "You are afraid of causing other countries to covet it, and you can't protect the interests of Zhenbao Zhai!" ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized:

"I see! You have to use the silver of the Wu Kingdom to support an elite army to protect the business of Zhenbao Zhai! Jumbo Zhai earns silver, and then in turn provides for the elite! ”

The corners of Fang Xiu's mouth hooked up a smile, and he praised: "The son can be taught!" ”

When Wu Mingkong heard this compliment, he felt a little proud in his heart.

That's nature, I'm smarter than you think!

In the next second, he suddenly reacted.

He is a king, and he is a minister.

How could he say that about himself.

So, he gave Fang Xiu a roll of his eyes and said, "I am a king, you are a minister, you are not allowed to say this next time!" ”

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, don't forget, the minister is Your Majesty's father." ”

Wu Mingkong glared at Fang Xiu, but he didn't say anything, just asked, "Then when are you going to recruit troops?" ”

Fang Xiu said: "Yesterday." ”

"Yesterday?"

Wu Ming's blank face showed a blank look, a small head, and a big doubt.

Fang Xiu said: "Yesterday, the minister has asked the secretary of the military department to draw up a notice to recruit young people across the country and form a new army!" ”

When Wu Mingkong heard this, his face showed annoyance, and he asked, "Why don't you tell me!" ”

Fang Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Didn't the minister say it. ”

Wu Mingkong gritted his teeth and said, "I mean, before that! ”

Fang Xiu said: "The minister wanted to talk to His Majesty yesterday, but seeing that His Majesty was unwell, he thought about it and forgot it. ”

Wu Mingkong glared at Fang Xiu, feeling annoyed in his heart.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! It is nothing more than to show your power in front of me! ”

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi......"

"Don't bully girls into being poor!"

"One day, I will break out of your grasp and pull you out of your position as a minister!"

"Let you hand me tea and water every day in the future, and beat your back and pinch your legs!"

She thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, she just stared at Fang Xiu like this, expressing her anger.

[Mood +1000]

Fang Xiu pretended not to understand her eyes that seemed to be about to kill, his face showed concern, and asked:

"What's wrong with Your Majesty's eyes?"

When Wu Mingkong heard this, his eyes became even more angry.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu stood up, walked in front of her, and said, "Is it in the sand, the minister will blow it for Your Majesty." ”

"Fuck off!"

When Wu Mingkong heard this, he didn't know why, and he couldn't get angry all of a sudden.

A flush appeared on his fair face, and he scolded in his heart:

"Deng's disciple, even I dare to tease, and say that I am not a pervert!"

............

Chang'an City, North Gate.

Dozens of civilians gathered together, looking at the new notices on the city walls, and pointing.

"Is there anyone who can read, read it to us, what is written on the notice?"

"What else can I write, it's nothing more than to levy taxes again, which year is not like this, I'm used to it!"

"The Prime Minister also beheaded a group of profiteers some time ago, so he shouldn't do such a thing!"

"Yes! I think the Prime Minister is quite sympathetic to us poor people now. ”

There is a lot of discussion.

A scholar in a patched robe stood in front of the notice, looked at it for a while, and said:

"It says that the Prime Minister ordered to recruit young people across the country and form a new army!"

"Those who pass the assessment will have two taels of silver per month, including food and housing!"
