Chapter seven hundred and seventeenth not like your character
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the document Liu Song placed on the dragon table, and then glanced at the civil and military officials in the palace with a calm expression.
"My dear friends, apart from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, who else has a report to report?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I have a report from the Hubu Department."
"allow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Jiang Yuanming, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out of the queue, he took out a document from his sleeve and held it in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the second batch of food and fodder for the 100,000 soldiers of the Second Route West Expedition has now been prepared.
I would like to ask your majesty, veteran, when will the second batch of grain and grass be shipped to the front line and delivered to the hands of Generalissimo Duan Dingbang?"
"The matter of food and fodder for a hundred thousand troops is no small matter. Have the specific circumstances been stated in the document?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I have listed all the situations one by one in the document."
"Liu Song, bring it up."
"I obey, little one."
Liu Song ran down the Longtai again, and when he returned, he handed Jiang Yuanming's documents directly to Young Master Liu.
"Master."
Liu Mingzhi took the document handed over from Liu Song and flipped through it gently, looking at the line after line of content above with calm eyes.
After a long time, Liu Mingzhi closed the documents in his hand, frowned slightly and looked up at Jiang Yuanming who was standing under the dragon platform.
"Housebu."
"The old minister is here."
"The amount of the second batch of grain and grass seems to be about 30% more than what Duan Dingbang requested."
"Your Majesty, the share of the second batch of grain and grass is indeed 30% more than the amount of grain and grass requested by Marshal Duan Dingbang."
"what happened?"
"Your Majesty has learned clearly that now is the season of continuous autumn rain, and it is not easy to escort food and grass.
If the soldiers escorting the grain and grass encountered severe rainstorms, it would be difficult to deliver the grain and grass to Marshal Duan Dingbang in time.
If there is one more day of delay during this period, the consumption of food and grass will be tens of thousands.
Just in case, the veteran prepared 30% more food and grass.
However, as His Majesty just said, the matter of food and grass is no small matter.
Although the veteran had prepared 30% more food and grass, he did not dare to make any decisions and directly asked the soldiers to escort them to the front line for delivery.
That’s why I asked Your Majesty to ask if it’s accurate.”
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a clear expression and casually placed the document in his hand on the dragon case.
"How has the rain in the northwest been since the beginning of autumn?"
"Your Majesty, the autumn rain this year is slightly heavier than last year."
Liu Mingzhi frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned his attention to Xia Gongming, the chief minister of the cabinet.
"Old Xia loves you."
"The old minister is here."
"Continuous autumn rains can easily cause floods. In the past few months, have officials from state capitals in the northwest sent any emergency documents regarding the autumn floods to the capital?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, there are several documents to prepare for the autumn floods in advance, but there is currently no emergency document."
"It's fine if you don't have it, I'll be relieved if you don't have it.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, your cabinet officials immediately drafted a decree and sent it to the officials of the various prefectures, telling the chief officials of each prefecture that I grant them the right to make ad hoc decisions regarding the autumn floods, and there is no need to send them to the capital to report everything one by one.
The decree below is to inform the chief officials in various places that I have granted them the right to make decisions on an ad hoc basis.
If something happens again that causes widespread disaster to the people, I will not be able to spare them."
"Your Majesty is wise, I obey your orders."
"Housebu."
"The old minister is here."
"You thought well and got it right.
After the dynasty dispersed, orders were sent to the soldiers to escort the grain and fodder, and they set off immediately."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"My dear friends, please all take your seats."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Is there any other lover who has a book to write?"
The civil and military officials looked at each other for a moment. When they saw that no one came out, they all raised their imperial huts and made a great salute.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have no intention of reporting."
"Then retreat."
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor."
"Wuyi King Song Qing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, two secondary assistants, Rongwei Hou Cai Jun, six ministers, and the chief minister of Honglu Temple stayed."
"I obey your orders."
After most of the officials left one after another, Liu Mingzhi raised his hand to signal Xia Gongming, Wei Yong, Tong Sansi and others, and took the lead to walk towards the back hall of Qinzheng Hall.
"My lords, please follow me for a walk in the Imperial Garden."
"I obey your orders."
Xia Gongming and other important officials in the court responded and hurriedly followed Liu Mingzhi who had already walked into the back hall.
In the royal garden.
Liu Mingzhi grabbed a handful of fish food from the ceramic jar and threw it towards the water, then clapped his hands and sat on the stone bench in the pavilion.
"You don't have to stand, you can all sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Song Yu and the others took their seats, Liu Mingzhi crossed his legs and adjusted the hem of his dragon robe, took out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve and placed it on the stone table.
"My lords, regarding the Japanese mission's request for me to reward them with a batch of sophisticated military equipment, this is my idea. Please pass it on to each other."
"I obey your orders."
They looked at each other tacitly, and Xia Gongming, the chief minister of the cabinet, took the initiative to pick up the rice paper on the stone table.
After a while, Xia Gongming handed the rice paper in his hand to Wei Yong in a thoughtful manner, raised his hand and gently stroked the gray beard on his chin and pondered.
After about two cups of tea, Wang He, the minister of Honglu Temple, who finally read the contents on the rice paper, gently put the rice paper back to its original position.
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of the tea in his hand, gently fiddled with the tea lid in his hand and glanced around at the people in the pavilion.
"My lords, have you all finished reading?"
Everyone who was secretly thinking about me came back to their senses and hurriedly nodded to Mr. Liu.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have all read the above document."
Liu Mingzhi put down his tea cup, took off the tobacco bag from his waist and waved to Song Qing.
"King Wuyi, give me some of your good tobacco."
"yes."
Song Qing immediately took off the dry tobacco bag from his waist, pinched out a handful of tobacco, stood up and stuffed it into the tobacco pot in Young Master Liu's hand, and then used a fire stick to light the tobacco for Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, please."
Liu Mingzhi blew out a puff of smoke, smiled lightly and looked around at the group of important court officials who kept swallowing their saliva.
"You don't have to look at me. If you like this bite, just do it yourself."
"Hey, your majesty is wise, your majesty is wise."
"Then I would be rude, sir. Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Old minister, I am also rude. Thank you, Your Majesty."
"His Royal Highness King Wuyi, I am used to smoking my own tobacco. Please let me have a taste of your tobacco."
"I want you to have some, I want you to have some. Your Majesty said it is good tobacco. His Highness King Wuyi, your tobacco must be good. Let me have a taste of it."
"It's true, then I should try some."
Song Yu hummed a few times and stretched out his cigarette rod directly in front of Song Qing.
He really couldn't let go of his son calling himself a lower official in front of everyone.
Song Qing was not a stingy person, so he pinched handfuls of shredded tobacco from his tobacco bag and gave them to others to distribute.
After a while, the pavilion became filled with smoke as everyone puffed away.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the old smokers in front of him, picked up the tea and rinsed the bitter taste in his mouth.
"You all tell me your own opinions. Who among you has a different idea about what I mean?"
"Your Majesty, the veteran minister has no objections.
But it's not like your character to agree to the Japanese mission's request.
The number of these soldiers and equipment is worth a lot of money."
