Luo Jing.

On the huge school grounds, accompanied by the loud orders of the officers, thousands of strong men were practicing sweating profusely. There were also military judges patrolling back and forth on war horses. Anyone who dared to cheat, cheat or cheat would be punished as soon as they were discovered.

He will be dragged out and whipped.

This was a rare good weather. The warm winter sun hung in the sky, and the bright sunlight slanted down, giving the emperor's golden armor a bright glow.

On the high platform, the emperor stood leaning on the railing, staring at the end of the horizon with a faint golden light in his deep eyes. There was no trace of happiness or anger on his handsome face.

After arriving, after these days of adaptation and integration, the inhuman aura on his body has gradually faded away, and he has regained his graceful, calm and majestic demeanor as an emperor.

"emperor……"

The head chamberlain came over, bowed and carefully reported: "It's almost noon. Should we go back to the palace for lunch, or should we have it delivered to us?"

The emperor turned to look at him and said calmly: "Then send it over."

The head chamberlain agreed and hurried down to make preparations.

"Yu Qing's family, come over and talk to me."

After a while, the emperor said again.

A third-grade civil servant next to him immediately came over and bowed: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

This civil servant's name was Yu Xiang. In the past, he was just a censor who was not taken seriously. During the period when Zhang Minzhong controlled the government, these censors were just decorations, with almost no sense of existence.

However, after the emperor took power, he promoted many people in an eclectic way, and Yu Xiang was among them. Facts have proved that he did have some talents and was not just a mere passerby.

"Although Zhang Minzhong is not a good person, he has turned my country into a mess."

The emperor said calmly: "But he also knows that he has done a good thing by forming these 300,000 new troops. He just wants to clear Yunei, and these troops and horses are far from enough. What do you think we should do?"

Yu Xiang glanced at the emperor's face secretly and said: "Since there are not enough troops, we can only continue to expand and form a new army. However, there is not much money left in the Ministry of Revenue. The taxes collected across the country this year are only equivalent to silver."

More than four million taels..."

The territory that the imperial court was able to control became less and less, especially after losing the prosperous Jiangnan area. In addition, bureaucrats at all levels were embezzling and embezzling money to line their own pockets. Naturally, the money they received from the treasury was getting less and less.

"How much money does the Ministry of Revenue have? If I decide to expand the army by another 500,000, how much money will it cost?" the emperor asked bluntly.

"I'm telling you, Your Majesty, there are still 40 million taels in the Ministry of Revenue's bank balance. If we expand the new army again and prepare the ordnance, materials and food, the total training cost will reach about 30 million taels, plus at least half a year of training time.

Only then can they meet the needs of the expedition." Yu Xiang said cautiously.

Originally, the imperial family had a great cause, and materials such as weapons and armor, bows and arrows, military uniforms and tents had been kept in stock over the years, and they could be taken out and used when needed. However, the imperial court has continued to use troops in recent years, and these material stocks have been exhausted.

You can only prepare new ones from scratch.

All in all, if you want to get these 800,000 new troops to the point where they can go to the battlefield, it will cost about fifty or sixty taels of silver per soldier on average, which is a very reasonable expenditure. Of course, you can lower the standard, but the combat effectiveness of the army will be

It’s hard to guarantee.

The emperor was silent for a while and asked: "How much money was copied from Zhang Minzhong's house?"

"Back to Your Majesty, officials from the Ministry of Revenue have calculated that all the property is equivalent to more than 21,100,000 taels of silver and has been transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Yu Xiang said.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the emperor's private treasury, which is of course separate from the Ministry of Household Treasury. It would be impossible for Yu Xiang to dig into the emperor's private pocket even if he had ten courages.

"In this case, I will allocate the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and use it first. If this trend continues, at most it will be until the end of next year, and the court will have no money to use." The emperor frowned.

The war will begin after the Chinese New Year. The emperor is not sure how many places can be pacified in one year. If the war drags on for a long time, it is hard to say whether the court, which is riddled with holes, can hold on.

Of course, from his current position, whether the imperial court will be finished or not actually has little impact on him. The key is to find and seize the traces of the anomalies as soon as possible and eliminate them to prevent the loss of the source.

It is very possible that the exception is in the south. However, if the imperial court wants to use large-scale troops against the south, it must first try to clear out the princes in the north and the Hu tribes who are taking advantage of the situation.

It's a pity that my strength is limited now, otherwise if I go alone and kill all the senior officials of the Chu Kingdom, I should be able to force the anomaly to show up, and the problem will probably be solved.

"Okay, I will give you a list later. You have confiscated all the houses of those officials. I believe it will not be a problem to collect tens of millions of taels of silver." The emperor said coldly.

Yu Xiang's scalp was numb, and he must have been in awe. He secretly sighed in his heart that many ministers had been killed this time, but for the sake of Da Qi's country, the emperor would not be merciful.

"Actually, there are many gold and silver treasures buried in the imperial tombs of past dynasties. If the silver is still not enough in the end, you can dig them out for emergency relief." The emperor said to himself.

Yu Xiang's vision went dark and he almost fainted. Those were the previous emperors of the Qi Dynasty. As a descendant of future generations, you even spared your own ancestral graves in order to make money. Your Majesty, do you know what you are talking about?

What? Is there anyone like you who can be an emperor?

As soon as this news spreads, the government and the public will immediately explode, and the emperor will be drowned by just spitting.

He bowed silently and resigned, automatically forgetting the emperor's last words.

…

Jinling City.

Songyue Tower is a famous century-old restaurant in the city. It is well-known in Huaiyang for its delicious food and wine. Because of its great reputation, many officials are willing to invite friends to have a banquet here in their free time.

A carriage with an unremarkable appearance stopped at the door. Zhao Cheng, dressed in casual clothes, stepped forward and opened the door curtain. A servant had already moved a step stool beside him.

Qin Feng, who was dressed in rich clothes and brocade robes, stepped out of the carriage, followed by Yun Qijun, who was covered in a veil. The two of them stepped onto the steps surrounded by more than ten guards in civilian clothes.

The steward who greeted guests at the door had a very sharp look in his eyes. As soon as he saw it, he knew that a distinguished guest had arrived, so he hurriedly greeted him and greeted him with a respectful salute.

Zhao Cheng threw him a few silver coins and said, "The best private room on the third floor."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. Your Majesty, please come upstairs." The steward agreed hurriedly.

In the area near the window on the third floor, after the two of them took their seats, a pretty maid immediately came over to serve tea and water. Qin Feng glanced at the menu and ordered a table full of various delicacies.

After a while, the dishes were served and everyone left. Qin Feng began to drink by himself, but Yun Qijun only moved his chopsticks symbolically, and then started to stare at him with complicated eyes.

In terms of looks alone, the man has bright starry eyes and beautiful trees, while the woman is stunningly beautiful and graceful. They seem to be a very well-matched couple. Only Qin Feng himself understands in his heart that the relationship between the two is called an ally.

In fact, she is very hostile and antagonistic. If given the opportunity, she will never hesitate to take care of herself.

Women are good at holding grudges, so if he shot her twice, if nothing else happened, she would remember this for hundreds of years, or even for the rest of her life.

"Invite me out alone. Do you have anything to say?" Qin Feng took a sip of wine and asked leisurely.

Yun Qijun thought about the wording for a while before speaking: "You have obtained so much silver for King Chu, aren't you afraid of causing some bad consequences?"

"Not within a hundred years at least." Qin Feng said simply.

If it is about the proliferation of silver and the hidden danger of inflation, then there is nothing to worry about. This world is similar to the Song and Ming Dynasties in the main world. The long-term supply of silver is an objective fact. During the Ming Dynasty, nearly half of the world's silver output was

All flowed into the country, and there was no price collapse.

This would be possible unless Qin Feng obtained hundreds of millions of taels of silver (tens of thousands of tons) in one go, but he obviously would not do that.

What's more, what he obtained was not only silver, but also a large amount of physical wealth such as food, copper, iron, and medicine. As long as he pays a little attention in the future, there will be no problems.

"That's not what I'm talking about,"

Yun Qijun shook her head and said: "You should understand what I mean, 'it'... has probably noticed the abnormalities in the south and noticed you."

She pointed to the sky.

"So what if you notice it? Of course there are ways to deal with it?" Qin Feng said nonchalantly.

"You have such a big heart that you don't even take it seriously to fight against God's will."

Yun Qijun said angrily: "You are not a true human immortal now, are you? The other party has at least the cultivation level of a true immortal, or even higher! With your kind of weapon, it may not be able to have an effect on it."

"I admit that it is very powerful, but now that it has arrived, it cannot avoid the shackles of the laws of the world."

Qin Feng put down his wine glass and said: "As long as the emperor's body is destroyed by me, he will have to find a suitable target to possess him again. It may take at least half a year. Do you think he will have a second chance?

?”

"...How can you tell? Or how do you know this?" Yun Qijun's beautiful eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief.

"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this world." Qin Feng's expression was calm, as if he had everything under control.

"..."

Yun Qijun examined him for a long time, and finally looked defeated: "Okay, let's assume you have the ability, but this is not a long-term solution after all. As long as God's will is not destroyed, he will never give up pursuing you.

Kill, what are you going to do?"

"If God's will is damaged too much, it will fall into a long period of sleep and recovery, and the golden age of your monks will come." Qin Feng said.

If the will of the world is asleep, the suppression of certain laws in this world will definitely be loosened. At that time, it will be much easier for human immortals to break through to the level of true immortals.

With the starship here, Qin Feng will never lose in the confrontation with the will of the world.

"Is this true?" Yun Qijun was surprised and happy.

Qin Feng was about to answer when his expression suddenly changed and he saw the dome of the restaurant being blown away by a huge force, and three figures emitting a mysterious aura rushed toward him.
