Chapter seven hundred and thirteenth you sing, I will appear
Liu Mingzhi coughed a few times as he was choked by the smoke, and Sakai Hoshino hurriedly walked behind him.
"Liu-kun, pump slowly, pump slowly, how are you? Do you want Hoshino to bring you a cup of tea?"
Sakai Hoshino raised his hand and patted Liu Mingzhi's chest lightly, as considerately as a wife treats her husband.
While Sakai Hoshino was worried about Liu Mingzhi's health, he was also worried that his nephew's words would make Liu Mingzhi feel unhappy.
It is true that she is the eldest lady of the Sakai family, but this time when she went on a mission to Dalong, she just accompanied her nephew to visit Dalong.
Brother, he has no idea how much military equipment he wants from Lord Liu to reward his mission.
Even if he doesn't know much about military matters, he still understands that the number of military equipment his nephew just mentioned is not a small number.
Otherwise, Liu Jun, who has always been calm and composed, would not show the expression he has now.
The nephew asked for so many sophisticated weapons and equipment as soon as he opened his mouth. No wonder Liu Jun, who was puffing away happily, was choked by the smoke.
Listening to the beauty's delicate and worried tone, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and waved his hand.
"It's okay, it's just a slight choking from the smoke. It's normal. Hoshino, you don't need to worry."
Liu Mingzhi softly comforted the beauty, and continued to remain silent with a slight frown on his face.
He only feels pain in his body now.
Quite a pain in the flesh.
Liu Mingzhi himself could hardly remember how many years it had been since he had felt such physical pain.
I had been mentally prepared before and knew that the amount of troops the Japanese mission wanted should not be a small amount.
However, no matter what I thought, I never expected that there would be so many.
Sakai He who was on the side suddenly became uneasy when he saw Young Master Liu frowning slightly and remaining silent.
He knew that the number of troops and equipment he just mentioned might be too much.
Seeing Liu Mingzhi's frowning expression, Sakai He also felt very helpless in his heart, because the number of troops and equipment he just mentioned was not the number he had set.
It was the amount that his uncle Kazuko Sakai set for himself before he went on his mission to Dairyu.
As the chief military officer of the Sakai family mission, he naturally had to obey orders and tell His Majesty the Emperor Dalong truthfully what the family leader had told him.
Sakai He was very worried now, and he kept praying silently in his heart.
Praying that Liu Mingzhi would not be furious because of the request he just made.
I hope my aunt can help me resolve this crisis.
Naturally, Liu Mingzhi would not be angry because of such a trivial matter. After all, he might not really agree to Sakai He's request.
Even if he agreed, it would definitely not be the amount he asked for.
If you ask for an exorbitant price, I will naturally pay you back on the spot.
Rewards will be given, but the final decision on how much to reward is ultimately in your own hands.
While Liu Mingzhi was silent, the tobacco in the pot had turned into a cloud of ashes, and the last wisp of rising smoke dispersed in the air.
"Sakaiga."
"The ministers are here, the ministers are here."
"Thirty thousand weapons, twenty thousand fine armors, ten thousand ordinary armors, eight thousand crossbows, three thousand serial crossbows, and fifty thousand arrows.
The total number of these troops and equipment is not a small amount."
Sakai He felt that Liu Mingzhi's tone was just a little calm and did not contain any anger, and his tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed.
A feeling of surviving a disaster lingers in my heart. It's great, it's great, His Majesty the Emperor is not angry.
"Yes, yes, what His Majesty the Emperor said is absolutely true. The ministers know in their hearts that these troops are indeed not a small number."
"Well, since you understand it yourself, I won't say any more.
Do you know how much manpower and material resources it takes to maintain these weapons?"
As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, the corner of his eye fell directly on Sakai He's face, and he carefully observed the expression on his face.
"Back to Your Majesty the Emperor, although I am not too clear about it, I have a general conclusion in my mind."
Although Sakai He's face was trembling, his answer to Young Master Liu revealed his calmness.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Liu Mingzhi's mouth, he rolled up the tobacco bag in his hand and continued to walk forward slowly.
He could see that the uneasiness and trembling look on Sakai He's face was purely out of fear of him and had nothing to do with other things.
He answered his questions so calmly.
For the Sakai family, maintaining these weapons does not seem to be a difficult task.
hehe.
The situation of the Sakai family has truly reached a point where life and death are at stake.
At this moment, Liu Mingzhi already knew clearly in his heart that there was no need to continue testing Sakai He.
What is the current real situation of Kazuko Sakai? It combines all kinds of things.
I also understand it well.
"Sakaiga."
"The minister is here."
"You should go back and rest first, and I will chat with Hoshino for a while."
"Your Majesty, what about military preparation?"
"Um?"
"Yes, yes, your majesty, your Majesty the Emperor, you and your aunt will continue chatting. Your ministers will be excused. Your ministers will be excused."
"Well, go ahead,"
"Auntie, please leave first."
Sakai Hoshino glanced at the indifferent Mr. Liu, smiled lightly and waved his hand to Sakai He.
"Okay, you go back first."
After Sakai Hoshino watched his nephew leave the courtyard, he walked lightly to Young Master Liu and gently tugged on his sleeve.
"Liu Jun, if He'er just said something that made you unhappy, I hope you will not remember the faults of villains and don't be the same as him."
Liu Mingzhi casually pinned the tobacco bag in his hand to his waist, and with a smile, he tickled the tip of the beauty's nose.
"What? Do I look unhappy?"
When the beautiful lady saw the chuckle on Young Master Liu's face, she immediately let go of Young Master Liu's sleeves and laughed a few times with a smile as bright as a flower.
"Hehehe, no, no, Hoshino did this just in case.
You don’t blame Hoshino for playing tricks in front of you, do you?”
"Stop thinking nonsense. No one will blame you if I blame you."
"Yeah, yeah, Hoshino knows that Liu-kun, you are the best."
Liu Mingzhi leaned over and kissed the beautiful lady's forehead gently, stretched out his hand to caress the beautiful lady's jade cheek and let out a long and silent breath.
"Xingye, it's getting late, so I'll go back first."
A trace of imperceptible reluctance flashed through the beauty's beautiful eyes, but she still nodded obediently to Young Master Liu,
"Well, Hoshino knows. Hoshino will see you off."
"Okay, let's go together."
A moment later, Liu Mingzhi and his two figures appeared outside the government office of Honglu Temple.
"Xingye, I'm going back first, you can go back too."
Liu Mingzhi waved to the beautiful lady who was looking at him with a sweet smile, and walked straight towards the crowded street.
"Hmm, Mr. Liu, walk slowly."
Liu Mingzhi's figure gradually faded away under the watch of the beautiful woman. When his back had completely blended into the crowd and disappeared on the street, the beautiful woman sighed with complicated eyes, turned around and walked into Honglu Temple with a slight frown on her eyebrows.
Alas, I hope He'er's eagerness won't make Liu Jun dissatisfied.
When Liu Mingzhi reached the corner of the long street, he stopped silently and made a gesture while pretending to tidy up his somewhat messy hair.
Among the pedestrians walking up and down the long street, a man dressed in ordinary people's clothes suddenly walked out and stopped next to Young Master Liu, pretending to be nonchalant.
This person observed the surroundings in a vague manner, moved towards Liu Mingzhi and lifted up his clothes to signal, and then bowed respectfully.
"My subordinate Qinglong Division Woodcutter, please see the young master."
"No gift."
"Thank you, Master."
"Where did Song Shangshu, Yang Shangshu, Wang Siqing and the Goguryeo envoy Kim Tae-eun go?"
"Back to the young master, at the invitation of the Goguryeo envoy, the three adults went to Yunlaiju on Xuanwu Street.
Now they are drinking and chatting in the first-class upper room on the third floor of Yunlaiju Restaurant."
"Let's go to Kesiyunlai Restaurant together."
"As you command, young master, please, my subordinates will follow you."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, shook the jade fan in his hand and walked forward.
After a few cups of tea, Liu Mingzhi had already stopped in front of the door outside Yunlaiju Restaurant.
Liu Mingzhi looked around and gestured towards the third floor of Yunlaiju Restaurant.
"Pretend to be a waiter and go to the third floor. After meeting Song Shangshu, you directly ask him if he wants to taste the 30-year-old Jiangnan wine. He will understand how to make it."
"My subordinate understands. Master, please wait a moment."
After the woodcutter walked into the restaurant, Liu Mingzhi put away his folding fan and happily walked towards the stall next to the restaurant.
"Sir, what do you want?"
"just looking around."
"Okay, whatever you like, just let me say hello."
In about a quarter of an hour, the woodcutter came out of Yunlaiju, and when he passed by Mr. Liu, he quickly thrust a letter into his hand.
"My subordinates resign."
Liu Mingzhi inadvertently put the letter into his sleeve, took out his folding fan and walked slowly back to the long street of Liu Mansion.
After Liu Mingzhi returned to Liu Mansion, he went straight to the study.
Leaning on the chair, Liu Mingzhi put several pieces of rice paper in his hand on the desk with a deep look.
"Oh, Sakai Kazuko, what a Sakai Kazuko."
Liu Mingzhi sighed softly and turned to look out the window. Looking at the pleasant scenery outside the window, he frowned and fell silent.
It was obvious that Kazuko Sakai did not tell Hoshino's sister about his true situation.
If Kazuko Sakai had never confessed to Hoshino, Hoshino would probably never know about the brother he loved so much.
One day, he will hide it from himself and use himself to achieve his own goals.
Although he didn't like Sakai Kazuko's personality, and he and he were on opposite sides, Liu Mingzhi didn't feel that Sakai Kazuko had done anything wrong.
He just deceived Hoshino and wanted to use Hoshino's mouth to achieve what he wanted with him, but he did not do any harm to Hoshino in the slightest.
This is the fundamental reason why I didn't expose him.
Again, no matter what kind of person he is in other matters.
At least when it comes to dealing with Hoshino, his biological sister, Kazuko Sakai is definitely a well-deserved good big brother.
This alone is enough to make you admire him with admiration.
Liu Mingzhi didn't know whether Hoshino would eventually know the truth about this matter, and he didn't dare to make any judgments.
However, I can promise that I will never tell Hoshino the truth behind this matter.
Otherwise, for a silly girl who has a pure heart but a pure heart.
This truth is a bit too cruel.
I hope Hoshino will never know about this.
I also hope that Sakai Kazuko will always be the good big brother who loves him in Hoshino's mind.
After Liu Mingzhi thought about what happened between Sakai Kazuko and his sister, his thoughts instantly moved elsewhere.
Today, the world has been unified for many years, and Dalong's national power is getting stronger and stronger day by day.
Under the checks and balances of such powerful forces, the situation in the Western countries was like a pool of stagnant water.
For me, this situation is indeed what I want to see.
However, if this situation continues like this, it is certainly a good thing for myself, but it may not be a good thing for my children.
Among his many children, any one of their brothers and sisters will inherit the throne and take charge of the country in the future.
They all need a stepping stone to stabilize their throne, to stabilize their prestige in the minds of civil and military officials, and the people of the world.
With the current vigorous situation of Dalong, the successors may not be able to find any stepping stones.
If this is the case, then this stepping stone will have to be placed outside the dragon.
But if the situation of the Western countries and other small barbarian countries remains as calm as it is now because of the checks and balances of the Great Dragon Court and the Great Dragon cruise fleet.
Then, it will be difficult for the new king in the future to find opportunities to establish his imperial majesty.
Therefore, the current situation is what I want, but it is not what I want.
Therefore, it is time to find someone to stir up this calm and stagnant water.
As for the person who can stir up this stagnant water, Kazuko Sakai, an ambitious guy, can barely be considered a qualified candidate for the time being.
As for whether it will be replaced by someone else in the end, I don't know.
It still depends on whether Sakai Kazuko's ability can meet his expectations.
Kazuko Sakai, Kazuko Sakai.
Since you have this ambition, I will help you.
Let's help you stir things up.
I hope your ability is worthy of your ambition and you won't disappoint me.
I don't believe that with your character, after unifying the Japanese mainland, you won't look to other places.
However, I will not let you get what you want easily. After all, the longer you stay in chaos, the greater the losses will be, and the more beneficial it will be for me, the dragon.
If you don't cause chaos, how can my young master's children take advantage of this opportunity to secure this one hundred thousand country?
Make a fuss, make a fuss.
The world is like a play, and life is like a play.
When you finish singing about me, my dragon will appear on the stage.
Liu Mingzhi sighed with deep eyes, picked up the tea and took a sip.
Liu Mingzhi didn't care whether his calculation was despicable or not.
I have never been a saint, and I have never claimed to be one.
Compassion does not control soldiers, and righteousness does not control wealth.
What's more, he is a father and the king of a country with a great dragon?
As the king of a country, in his position, the so-called benevolence.
It no longer exists.
A group of little bastards, your father is in charge of you.
In the future world, just let go and fight.
Benevolence and righteousness are yours, but bad reputation is yours.
No matter what the outcome is, I will fight for you as a father.
