"Please quit the minister!" Chen Wenqi is about to walk away, people tell you about business, but you don't talk about people!

"Two million." Xiao Chen immediately took the initiative to reduce the price.

"You cut me in pieces to see if it's worth two million?" Chen Wenqi sat down again.

"It's not worth it if our brothers are all fragmented." Xiao Chen smiled and stretched out a finger, "That's one million, right?" ”

"500,000 at most, not one or two more." Chen Wenqi said, "Your silver is likely to be thrown directly into the water, you know!" ”

"Then 800,000, let's listen to it!" Xiao Chen also made great concessions.

"Alas......" Chen Wenqi agreed with a sigh.

If you don't agree, you can't do it, because the emperor has something to say that he wants to dare to be the first in the world, and he said that he wants to try, and he will try it, but the price is too great.

800,000 taels!

It's not that Chen Wenqi is stingy.

Because the war with the Rus' began, there were more places to spend money!

Not to mention anything else, how much silver does Qin Gang's 20,000 people get for eating horses and feeding them for a day?

"Lord Xiao, I have to inform you about something, you five thousand people can't wait in Changshan Prefecture, and when the spring begins, you have to let them go to Yanyun Pass first to stand by, and you have to prepare the means of transportation such as mules and horses and carts." Chen Wenqi felt that it was better to compact this matter first, and he would make arrangements when he turned back.

"Okay, it's all as ordered!" Xiao Chen was very generous, "As soon as your driving fee arrives, my carriage and horse will set off immediately." ”

"What's the opening fee?" Chen Wenqi was stunned, "Isn't it just to take care of rice?" How much silver is this? You pay in advance first, and the account department will always settle with you. ”

"What?" Xiao Chen's voice immediately rose several times higher, "How can you just manage the rice?" You've got to pay your wages! ”

"You, you, you didn't say that in the afternoon, you said you just need to take care of the food! The emperor and several adults heard Ang! Chen Wenqi was taken aback, you want to regret what you just said?

Shameless you!

"Impossible!" Xiao Chen shook his head like a rattle, "What the emperor said is clear, exempt our Yanyun County from three years of tax and servitude, and now you want to requisition the people, isn't that disrespectful?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Chen Wenqi's nose is crooked, Xiao Chen, you scoundrel!

"Don't quarrel about this little thing, I have indeed exempted Yanyun County from taxes and forced labor for three years, and now the people of Yanyun County are suffering, Wen Qi, you also have to understand Xiao Chen's difficulties, this silver should be spent." Li Wanjiang said.

"The emperor is wise!" Xiao Chen said loudly.

"The soldiers and horses on land are controlled by Qin Gang, but who is the right person to lead our joint sailors?" Li Wanjiang was thinking about this matter.

Everyone was silent again, because no one who felt suitable could come, and there was no suitable one in front of them.

If this joint sailor is established, the ingredients will be too complicated.

The Great Zhou Naval Division, the Dongying Fleet, the Yizhou Naval Division, and the pirates......

In fact, even if you feel the right person, it may not be suitable, Li Wanyun, Li Feng, Li Yan, Murong Heng, Black Dragon Four Heroes...... Just add Zhu Xiaochuan, Wu Zicheng, and Wu Zhongze, and they are not suitable.

Because they are all god-like beings on land, they don't know much about water warfare, and they can't say that they don't understand it at all, but they can't say that they are proficient.

If you only lead a smaller Great Zhou Naval Division, you can at least command Ruoding, but if you command such a large-scale combined fleet, I am afraid that it will be enough.

There are also many excellent generals in the water division, such as Liu Haishan and Lin Zirui, but the qualifications of the two of them are relatively shallow, and their ranks are too low to be commanders-in-chief.

There is another problem, that is, among this combined fleet, the Dongying fleet is definitely the strongest, followed by the Yizhou fleet, and the Great Zhou Naval Division can only be ranked third, and it may be limited to be stronger than the pirates.

Although this was a battle in the Great Zhou, it seemed quite reasonable if the Dongying people proposed that their general should be the commander-in-chief.

It just doesn't make sense.

And it's not as simple as a matter of face.

In order to defeat the powerful Rus' fleet, the Dongying side may send at least ten large warships, plus frigates, warships and small warships, for a total of more than thirty ships.

Such a large-scale fleet must be led by a person at least at the level of a general, so the commander of Da Zhou's side must also be two levels higher than him.

So for now, maybe Li Wanjiang is the most suitable candidate......

If he is the boss, even if the opponent's boss is Emperor Kamisho, he will have to be the second.

"The minister thinks that the prince is the most suitable to be the boss!" Xiao Chen directly recommended Li Shi, who was contemplating his eyebrows.

Yes? Several people were taken aback when they heard this.

Because no one, including Li Shi, thought that Xiao Chen would recommend him to be the coach.

"Hmm......" Li Wanjiang pondered for a long time before slowly, "Wu'er, can you take on this important responsibility?" ”

"The son is willing to share the worries of his father!" Li Shi was so excited that he almost stood up.

"It's naturally good if Wu'er is willing, but your body is ......" Li Wanjiang hesitated again.

"Father, the son is only inconvenient, but there is no problem with taking a boat or car, this is to command the battle, and there is no need for the son to personally go into battle to kill the enemy, even if the action is slightly inconvenient, it is not hindered." Li Shi said busily.

"Although the minister doesn't know much about water warfare, he is also willing to follow the prince!" Xiao Chen took the initiative to ask for help.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also willing to go!" Zhu Xiaochuan felt that as the only military general here, he must also make a statement.

"Well, I have to think about it again." Li Wanjiang was unable to make a decision for a while.

Li Shi is also from a military background, and it is definitely no problem to command operations, his status is noble, and he is completely qualified to be the commander of the combined fleet, in fact, there is really no more suitable candidate than him in Fengyang City now.

If he fought on land, he might not hesitate to agree, but this is a naval battle, and the enemy is the powerful Rus' fleet, when the two armies are engaged, the commander of the flagship, will definitely suffer the most fierce attack!

If Li Shi had any mistakes, it would inevitably outweigh the losses.

He has a total of three sons, one is dead, the other is leading troops to fight outside, and now Li Shi is left by his side.

He didn't want him to take the risk.

Xiao Chen, this kid is so smart, how could he still give me this problem?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that in addition to the prince, this boss doesn't think about being a second person! It is also easy to decide this matter as soon as possible, so that the prince and his ministers can also prepare in advance. Xiao Chen said.

"Alas...... Xiao Chen, do you know that I love you and hate you, and you recommend Wu'er as the coach, which is indeed suitable, but if Wu'er has three longs and two shortcomings, how can I be embarrassed? Li Wanjiang sighed, revealing a little sincerity.

"Father!" Li Shi struggled to climb out of the wheelchair and knelt at Li Wanjiang's feet, with tears in his eyes and sobbing softly.

The scene was very touching at one point.
