Chapter 52: What is the Emperor’s Intention (2)
"I have met Duke Wei!"
Li Qi quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.
Xu Huizu, who entered the door, dared not be proud of himself. The young man in front of him was not only the person around the prince, but also the emperor's cousin's husband.
"I dare not!" Xu Huizu smiled slightly, "I didn't expect that Jun Ma was here too!"
"I haven't seen my father for several days. I'm thinking about coming over to have lunch with him!" As he said that, Li Qi looked at Li Jinglong and leaned over and said, "Father, son is back first!"
"Yes!" Li Jinglong waved his hand.
Then Li Qi saluted Xu Huizu again, "Give up with a humble position!"
"Mr. Ma, the county, walked slowly!" Xu Huizu turned sideways and did not receive the full courtesy.
Seeing Li Qi walking away quickly, Xu Huizu suddenly felt a little moved in his heart.
"The third generation of the Li family has become a talent, what about the third generation of my Xu family? If nothing unexpected happens, he and his son will have to go through three generations of emperors and be honored for decades? Hiss!"
On the side of the table, Li Jinglong smiled and said, "Duke Wei, you are here just now. I just moved my chopsticks!" As he said, he continued to smile, "Come on, we guys have not gotten together one day!"
Xu Huizu sat down with a smile, but thought to himself, "Who is the two brothers with you?"
"You...are you...are you?" Li Jinglong asked directly without beating around the bush.
Xu Huizu didn't beat around the bush and took out the slap in his arms and handed it over, "You can see it yourself!"
Before coming, Xu Huizu had a plan in his mind, and Li Jinglong must use these military supplies to do some articles with him. The so-called article should be a bargaining for the interests involved in the Myanmar war.
But unexpectedly, Li Jinglong only glanced a few times, put down the ban and said, "Okay! I will issue a warrant to the Foundry Bureau of the Firearms Bureau in the afternoon." As he said, he paused, "There were originally a batch of good firearms that were to be transported to Ningxia. I will allocate this batch to you first. It would be okay to delay Ningxia for a few days!"
"As for you want warships, I will let the treasure shipyard adjust it to you to the greatest extent... It's really not possible. I will transfer four warships to you."
For a moment, Xu Huizu didn't expect Li Jinglong to be so happy and was a little stunned.
"The 30,000 people who entered Burma to fight are all the old and weak in the border army. The combat effectiveness of these people is not even higher or lower. No matter how strong they are, they are not much stronger!" Li Jinglong said in a deep thought, "If you can't do it, you have to be good at doing things. Do you play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses!"
Xu Huizu bowed, "I'm working hard!"
"It's all state affairs, so what's the work!" Li Jinglong smiled slightly, "But I looked at a few things about the Burmese army. It's not appropriate!"
Xu Huizu's eyebrows moved, "You said!"
"Don't be too careful. I'm just so straightforward when I think you are not an outsider!" Li Jinglong smiled again, "Maybe the words are not very nice, but I'm definitely kind!"
"Look, you have been in charge of the Governor's Office over the years, and the big situation... I'm still a little bit unthinking. In addition, you have never been to the foreign country and don't know the situation there! As for the second generation of nobles who are clamoring to advance, no one has ever killed them several times." Li Jinglong said, "Take the day when I went to Luzon, there is something very hot there. Mosquitoes, snakes and rats are all plagues, and it's not good if they get infected!"
"So, in the military supplies, you must prepare medicine to prevent epidemics. During the march, clean water and feces should be buried on the spot away from the military camp. If the sick soldiers are isolated immediately and cannot be transmitted to others!"
"In addition, the barbarians in the smoky and smoky land of Myanmar are elusive, so they should bring more hunting dogs..." As he said that, he suddenly looked down at the Chen in his hand, "Well, there is no thunder in the firearm. That thing is a magic weapon. It is of no use to deal with the Tartars on the horse, but when it comes to dealing with the barbarians in the forest, it will be a nest. I will make my own decision and I will give you 20,000!"
After Li Jinglong's faults were identified, Xu Huizu blushed slightly. It was not that he had never seen a big scene as Li Jinglong said, but that was Li Jinglong's disappointment. He was a talent for strategy and overall situations. These subtle details were naturally left to the people below to do.
But he also agreed with what Li Jinglong said, and said with a little heartbroken feeling, "This is the time when Burma is hot. There are already various poisonous gases and insects in the smoke and smoky land. These medicines to prevent epidemics really need to be prepared. But now, the Ministry of Works is afraid that it will take a moment..."
"You!" Li Jinglong interrupted him with a smile, "It's so square, is the ready-made doctor right in front of you?"
"Ah?" Xu Huizu was stunned again.
"I'm wrong. I'm not a doctor! But I believe you know that there are several large medicine shops under my name. When the floods in Huaibei are in trouble, the medicines to prevent epidemics are produced by those medicine shops!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Huizu's face began to silence.
Seeing this, Li Jinglong chuckled, "Don't worry, I, Li Jinglong, are not that bastard, I, have made money to this point. If you want to trust me, prepare medicine from the medicine shop under my name. It is definitely a cost-effective price, and it is real!"
"This matter is inevitable!" Xu Huizu frowned.
"I'm not afraid, are you afraid?" Li Jinglong looked at him squintly, "Everyone said something upright, and he could speak out in front of the Lord Longsheng, why did he put it in the melon field? If you don't believe me, you can do it. If you are not afraid of delaying your skills, you can find a way yourself!"
As he said that, he snorted coldly, "I am helping you. You have fought the war and I have a bright face. We martial artists all prosper!"
Li Jinglong is greedy for money, and Xu Huizu knows it well and even knows it better than anyone else.
But he did not expect that Li Jinglong could speak this matter so bluntly.
But there is no other way at the moment, so I can only nod.
"And there is this cover!" Li Jinglong said again, "You can't count on the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue. Let me tell you the truth. Those civil servants wish we were not good for the advance of Myanmar! We fought this time, and they tried their best to obstruct the troops next time. There is still a reason, are you?"
Xu Huizu frowned, "Where is your opinion?"
"Suzhou, Hangzhou, Songjiang, I have three cotton cloth workshops under my name!" Li Jinglong said again, "There are a total of 260,000 cotton cloth stored. I was originally going to sell it to Semu Hai merchants, so I will take it out as military supplies first!"
After rubbing, Xu Huizu stood up instantly.
What is the concept of 260,000 pieces of cotton? Use it tightly, it is the annual military pay expense for a border army in a town.
He, Li Jinglong, is he so rich?
"Don't stare, who hasn't ordered a business yet? Your family is counting on their salary to live?" Li Jinglong asked back.
Xu Huizu sat down again, "That's too much..."
"Worry about money?" Li Jinglong smiled again, "Whether medicine or taking it, you don't have to give it money first!"
Suddenly, Xu Huizu didn't understand anymore.
He has always believed that his wealth and intelligence are definitely above Li Jinglong, but now he finds that his head is not enough.
"No money? Then..."
Li Jinglong smiled, "After the battle, we will count together! We are all our own people, and you can't lose money to me!"
"You are not afraid..." Xu Huizu pondered for a moment, "Someone is making use of these things, and the censor will impeach you in the future?"
"Who knows if you don't say it?" Li Jinglong just smiled, "I kindly help you. You want to sell me back, are you embarrassed?" As he said that, he paused, took a sip with the teacup, "Besides, I want this, I will tell Master Long live!"
After saying that, he gave Xu Huizu a look.
The latter fell into deep thought again. Looking at Li Jinglong's expression, the emperor should have known and tacitly agreed to him that Li Jinglong did this.
What is the emperor's intention?
Seeing him like this, Li Jinglong said in his heart, "Fortunately you are a soldier. If you are a accountant, you must ruin your business!"
The emperor's intention is actually very simple.
Turning the act of using troops against Myanmar and even in the future into the plundering mode of the Ming royal family and private business groups. The territory of the Ming Empire is the result of the defeat. If you can't defeat it, you are incompetent and have nothing to do with the court.
