Watching the two of them eating, Village Chief Li said to Zhang Ye: "There will probably be many more ignorant women in the future."
"Well, do you think the Mongols can win?"
"That's impossible. I have seen many battles and been on the battlefield. They all say that when the army goes to war, the people will have a hard time. But this time our Daliang is as stable as Mount Tai. The people in the hinterland of the capital have joined the army one after another. Your Majesty has not missed the benefits of the people, but has always
We can earn a lot of money by fighting a war. I have never seen any country fight like this. There are so many Mongolians. As long as we drag it on, we will be able to kill them no matter what!"
"That's the truth."
Zhang Ye bit the grass root and laughed: "Your Majesty also wants to train troops. Defeat the Mongols. Then I, Daliang, will be able to obtain millions of elites. Uncle Li, the world is about to be unified. How can we turn a blind eye at this time!"
"
Village Chief Li nodded quickly: "You are right, for the sake of obscurity, women have to take action. If others can rob me, a good man in Lijiazhuang can't. If he robs me, it is his own. I will hand over the people in the village to you."
"
"Okay, I will definitely bring them back!"
Village Chief Li didn't say anything, Zhang Ye will do his best.
…………………………………………
In the palace of Daliang,
Zhu Youde looked at the account book and became a little anxious, "There are only 80 million taels of silver left. It's a bit too much money."
Sure enough, a national war-level war is not easy to fight. In just over a month, 100 million has been spent.
It's too expensive.
Wang Zhonghou said with all his heart, what else are you dissatisfied with? There are millions of Mongols!
This money is not spent casually. The bulk of the expenditure is on armaments, and city walls must be built at the border and the people must be requisitioned.
One hundred million is really not much!
Only Zhu Youde in the world can afford this kind of business.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the young man's office will have some income next month."
"If you spend 100 million a month, the remaining money will only be enough for a month. Isn't it enough?"
Who do you blame for being so generous with your own money?
As Zhu Youde's financial manager, Wang Zhonghou felt tired.
In fact, the emperor had enough money, but he couldn't resist Zhu Youde's love of throwing money away.
I have never heard of a battlefield as big as the border crossing, where a little bit of damage was done at one place and money was thrown at every once in a while.
But Zhu Youde likes it, so why not spend money on fighting?
He can't go to the battlefield himself, so he has to spend money. Can he beat the opponent without spending money?
Dad Penguin said it well, if you still want to become stronger without recharging, isn’t it a joke?
Only by recharging can you become stronger. For example, Daliang is now suppressing the war in several border states. This is the result of recharging money.
In fact, this money is enough to talk to the Mongol people and buy peace.
Zhu Youde already knew why the Mongol people went south. The weather in the deep grasslands this year was weirdly cold. The Mongol people would starve to death if they didn't go south. Then they were fooled by Han Wugui from Beiyan and came to take over.
They all felt that Daliang was rich and easy to bully.
Han Wugui, a weakling, should have been shot to death when he first saw him. Zhu Youde regretted it very much.
I was polite to this person at that time.
However, Han Wugui must have been very sad at this time. Without Shanhaiguan, all the land in the pass belonged to Daliang.
Han Wugui could no longer get supplies from inside the pass.
Zhu Youde has secretly sent an envoy to contact the Crown Prince of Yan State in Shengjing, Northern Yan. Brother, I will attack Han Wugui fiercely next year. I will provide you with whatever you need.
Everything is easy to say.
Zhu Youde had no mental obstacles at all to kill Han Wugui, he was eager to do so.
At this time, a eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Fang wants to see you!"
Zhu Youde nodded, and when Zhou Fang came in, he bowed to the ground and bowed, which was especially exaggerated.
Wang Zhong slapped him shamelessly. It meant that this person was not a eunuch. Otherwise, if he was so flattering to the emperor, he would be worried whether this person would take his place.
"Your Majesty, I have already met those Westerners!"
A few days ago, the Westerners who landed from Huating arrived in the capital. Zhou Fang, now the minister of Honglu Temple, met with Zhou Chaozong.
Zhu Youde was still very concerned and asked Zhou Fang to stand up and speak, asking: "How, what are their plans."
Zhou Fang said: "Your Majesty, I thought that the Westerners were here to trade, but their purpose is definitely not that simple. After making inquiries from many parties, I learned that there is a war going on in Nanyang, and that the Western countries are at war with Marin and Sanqi.
, these Westerners should have come to our court to seek help, and they are anxious to see His Majesty."
Zhu Youde decided after thinking about it that no matter what the Nanyang War had to do with him, Daliang did not have the ability to go to Nanyang now. That was all after unification. The key is that Daliang did not have a navy.
Zhu Youde originally wanted to develop the navy, but the investment in the navy was too large, and the court also opposed it.
I don't think it will be useful for the time being. Daliang's focus is now on the north, and he can't afford to fight on two fronts.
That's something only the powerful can play.
But it's okay to do some business with Westerners.
"They are fighting, so they must need weapons."
Zhou Fang nodded: "But they didn't tell me when they met!"
This is all trivial, just a routine for doing business.
Making noises in the east and attacking in the west!
Zhu Youde understands, and he also likes it. When he sees something good later, he will still pay for it when it is time to pay for it.
"Zhou Qing, then you will accompany these Westerners to have a good look at the capital these days, eat and drink, and accompany them to appreciate the glory of our Daliang capital."
Zhu Youde is not in a hurry, he is just a group of Westerners. Are his things something you and others just don’t want if you don’t want them?
Now that you know you are here to pay homage to the pier, why don’t you know how to give gifts?
He seems to be a very immature Westerner.
Zhou Fang is definitely someone who can understand his plan and bring his shameless spirit into full play.
These Westerners had what Zhu Youde wanted, which was a map of the route from Daliang to Nanyang, and even a map to Europe.
What these Westerners who came to the East never thought was that they would bring a great emperor to Europe.
A few days later, Xiao Jing, the eldest princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty, arrived. Zhu Youde was also a little excited, and really wanted to see this light waist in the palm of his hand as soon as possible.
This girl must have very good waist strength and be very powerful.
But after waiting for a long time, Wang Zhonghou finally said that Tang Boyong had picked up the eldest princess.
They did not come directly to the palace.
Zhu Youde was very dissatisfied. What did Tang Boyong, a prodigal, want to do? What was he doing?
When an old lover meets, do you want to cuckold me?
"These people have no king and no father, and they are really worthy of death!"
"Your Majesty, I am going to kill Tang Boyong!"
Zhu Youde rolled his eyes. Do you take what I say casually? He said with a smile: "I am a person without measure. It is only right for the princess to come from afar to meet the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty."
Maybe it was just a normal meeting.
Zhu Youde said in his heart, it's worth waiting, don't be in a hurry.
The next moment Zhu Youde decided: "Wang Banban and I haven't paid a private visit incognito for a long time. Let's go and experience folk life!"
