"Today those guys are talking about the street lights in the palace again. The empress sat at the table and said with an unhappy face.

On the table between the empress and Ren Baqian, there was a steaming hot pot with an attractive aroma, and not far from the two of them, there was an ice basin and a fan blowing cool breezes on the two.

"Your Majesty has lost your temper again?" Ren Baqian asked with a smile as he filled the empress's wine glass.

The empress snorted lightly, anyway, Da Yao is full of rough skin and thick flesh, and it doesn't matter if he kicks two feet and turns his head twice.

"I explained it first, but they didn't understand it, and they always thought I was too extravagant. And I do things, where is their turn to be questioned!" the empress said dissatisfiedly after drinking a glass of wine.

In fact, the latter sentence is what the empress wants to say.

If it is someone else, explain it a few more times, and it will be able to relieve everyone's doubts.

However, how could the empress's temperament be calmly explained too much? Da Yao's minister could not understand that this kind of street lamp was actually not valuable.

In fact, the street lamp can also be said to be a treasure in this world, after all, there is no oil smoke and can always be lit and not extinguished. If you put it outside, a lot of people will rush to buy it with money.

And Da Yao has never been a rich country, and the small treasury of the imperial palace is completely dependent on Da Yao's gold mine to maintain the royal family's expenses, and everyone is used to this.

Now that the palace has suddenly become like this, many people feel that it is inappropriate.

It's just that the empress is arrogant, but she just said a few words, and even if others asked, she didn't bother to explain, but now it has made many people misunderstood.

"Or maybe explain it to them. Ren Baqian thought for a while and said, in fact, he had heard about this before, but the empress didn't speak, and no one asked him, he couldn't go out and explain that this thing was actually not valuable?

"You don't have to ask about it. The empress said coldly.

"Pour me wine!"

Ren Baqian filled the empress with wine, raised his wine glass and saluted him from afar, and drank the wine before changing the topic: "What is going on in the northeast and southeast directions now?"

"Izumo has five hundred and seventy-three large and small castles, and now Azusa has laid down thirty-three castles close to the frontier. As for the southeast, it is still a small fight, and there is not much movement. "Speaking of which, the empress has recovered some of her spirits.

Conquering a city is a big deal for any emperor.

Even for the empress.

"Is there enough troops on the front line?" asked Ren Baqian. Originally, there were only 15,000 troops in the Northeast Protectorate, but 40,000 new soldiers were sent one after another, a total of 55,000. Before the war with Great Xia, the Gu clan had less than 100,000 soldiers in total.

The 55,000 is already half of the original amount.

"I am ready to recruit 40,000 new troops again, and I will pass down the conscription order after the year. The empress thought for a moment.

"The problem of food solved?"

"Your sweet potatoes, pumpkins and potatoes have played a lot of roles, and the yield is good under Ge Yihong's promotion, and I am going to promote it more cents next year. In addition, your canning factory has now provided about 10,000 soldiers with military rations, but many people are scolding you!"

"The ministers deserve this scolding! It is possible to exchange canned food for livestock in various cities and send it to the army. Ren Baqian smiled. It's good not to be hungry, and pick the fat and thin.

"For the time being, it doesn't have to be like this, and it can only support 10,000 people of military rations, mainly because the transportation route is too long. After the recruits are recruited next year, canned food and sweet potatoes and pumpkins will be used as military rations for the recruits, so that they will not need to be transported to the direction of Yunguo. The empress said casually.

Ren Baqian thought about it, and estimated that he would have to bear this infamy.

The two drank four bottles of Erguotou and were slightly drunk.

"It's better to drink your wine, I don't know what's left. The empress asked.

"I have already told the Zhang family that this kind of wine has to be brewed for ten years and then highly purified. The Zhang family still has a batch in Yunguo, but there is no way to transport it at this time, and they need to wait for Zidu to protect most of Yunguo. As Ren Baqian spoke, he watched the empress get up and walk out, and also got up and followed behind.

The two of them went out of the main hall, and the empress pulled Ren Baqian and jumped onto the roof.

Looking around, the entire palace is full of light.

The empress sat on the roof, supported her chin with her hand, and said with a little joy: "I like this kind of palace very much. ”

Then the conversation changed: "It's just that those people are too annoying." ”

Ren Baqian smiled bitterly, the empress had turned back again, and she hated them for being verbose and annoying, and she didn't want to explain them in detail.

Reaching out and grabbing the empress's palm and rubbing it in her own hand, the empress's palm still feels delicate, soft, and full of warmth.

"What do you imagine Da Yao to look like?" the Empress let him grasp her arm, looking ahead and suddenly lost her thoughts. In fact, the two of them had discussed it many times, but it would take too long to make it happen, and she would imagine it from time to time.

Like a fantasy girl.

"Standing with Your Majesty is what I think of in this world. Ren Baqian said softly.

The empress tilted her head to look at him, then turned her head and said, "The answer to the slippery head, what I want to know is what the future Da Yao should be like in your mind." ”

"Flying cars are everywhere...... Robots do most of the things, and the common people have nothing to do after entering communism, and they look at this and that on the street every day to have some fun. Then they looked at each other, and one of them said, 'What are you looking at?', and the other said, 'What are you doing?', and then they punched and kicked, and then there was a street fight, and then they were both caught in the sheriff's department and whipped. ”

After Ren Baqian finished speaking, he was kicked down by the empress.

This guy's words...... It's so scenic.

Ren Baqian got up from the ground, first jumped to the wall next to him, and then jumped to the main hall to sit down next to the empress, and when he saw the empress raising his foot to kick, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Although it is said to be fun, it is not completely fake." This is what happens when the rate of spiritual progress lags far behind the rate of material progress. But I'm afraid I won't be able to see this scene, but Your Majesty may be able to see it. ”

Even if Ren Baqian and the Empress are at the same level, their lifespan will be much lower than that of the Empress, not to mention that Ren Baqian has to travel between two worlds, consuming a lot of lifespan on the earth.

"I won't let you die too soon. It's just that you don't move until you whip it, and tomorrow I will prepare a whip for you, and if you don't work hard to cultivate, I will whip you with a whip!" the empress tilted her head to look at him and said, her tone full of ...... Eager?

Ren Baqian's expression suddenly froze.
