But there are already a group of pessimists among the court officials. They believe that Daxia has become weak in recent years and that once a big war breaks out, Daxia's defeat will be decided.

The country is destroyed, after all, the vast Xia Dynasty has a vast territory, and there are many people from the world, with many strong people. Although they will not participate in the war, once they really face the country's destruction, these strong people from the world will definitely take action to resist foreign enemies together.

A country will not be destroyed, but treaties such as land ceasing compensation will definitely not be missing. After all, if you suffer a defeat, foreign enemies will not be able to let Daxia go so easily. The conditions to be claimed will definitely be a place that will be a place that will be food, grass, cloth, land, etc.

The court officials listened very seriously behind Zhao Wujiang and others, their hearts were surging and their thoughts were different. The words of court officials who put forward different opinions would also cause many colleagues to seriously think about whether it was feasible.

The ministers became more and more prone to chat under Xiaoxue. Someone next to Zhao Wujiang made suggestions that there will be no morning court tomorrow and the next two days, so why not hold a banquet today and chat while eating?

The vast majority of court officials happily agreed that it would be a pleasure to eat wine in the warm pavilion in deep winter?

Soon, the court officials made an appointment with the Furong Restaurant in Kyoto to share a lunch. Except for some officials who cannot leave their posts, those who can free up their time will participate in the banquet.

Zhao Wujiang and Liu Zhe both cage their hands in their sleeves, looked at each other, smiled silently, and saw some cunning in each other's eyes, as if they had made up their minds at the same time.

———

Noon.

Furong Restaurant.

The court officials exchanged cups and talked about the affairs of the court.

After three rounds of drinking, the ministers became less restrained and more bold. They were not stingy or worried about their lack of insights, and they all spoke up to their opinions.

Which border defense should focus on which aspect, and whether there should be more supply lines, just in case.

Should we recruit soldiers and recruit people from the world to join the war?

One by one, some people questioned and some agreed.

Zhao Wujiang sat comfortably on the soft collapse, drunkenly, silently shaking his white jade wine glass with his right hand, rubbing his fingers with his left hand, quietly listening to the court officials' speeches.

Liu Zhe and Dugu Yihe approached their heads slightly and whispered to each other.

The Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works left their seats with wine and walked towards Zhao Wujiang, giving them friendly toasts.

The Minister of Revenue has been at a high position this year and has received a lot of help from Zhao Wujiang. He is also from the Liu family in the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. He is considered a businessman of the first half of the businessman. He respects Zhao Wujiang when toasting and is grateful.

He did not hesitate to give Zhao Wujiang many financial opinions, such as the annual dividends of the Liu family of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, which could be given part of Zhao Wujiang.

For example, if Zhao Wujiang needs something, the Liu family will definitely provide it, and if there is not, they will try their best to find it, etc.

The Minister of Works also came to thank Zhao Wujiang. It was Zhao Wujiang who let him, the minister who loved to commit suicide, witnessed the power of gunpowder that he had never seen before. It was Zhao Wujiang who was the chief of the two ministries and one temple who was requesting credit for his contribution.

He still remembered that he was a supporter of Xuanyuan Yuheng before, but when he was threatened by Xuanyuan Yuheng's poisonous insects, it was Zhao Wujiang who relieved the power of the poisonous insects for him and made him lose his way.

Now Zhao Wujiang is not worried about his past grudges and trusts him with his previous faction.

So he admired Zhao Wujiang's character from the bottom of his heart, as gentle as jade and tolerant.

Zhao Wujiang smiled gently and returned to the wine, with deep eyes and smiled:

"Two sirs, how much money do you bring with you today?"

The Minister of Works and the Minister of Revenue were full of confusion, wondering what Zhao Wujiang was suddenly asking about?

After all, the Minister of Revenue was half a businessman and he was more active. He suddenly remembered the fact that Zhao Wujiang had a banquet for his ministers to raise funds to fill the treasury.

At this moment, perhaps he heard Zhao Wujiang's question. Liu Zhe, who was sitting aside and talking in a low voice with Dugu Yihe, filled a glass of wine for himself. He smiled and looked at Zhao Wujiang. Both of them were smiling slightly, like two foxes, one big and one small.
