Chapter eight hundred and fifty second time not with me
,!
"Husband."
Liu Mingzhi's expression relaxed and he immediately looked towards Huyan Yunyao.
"Hmm? Yao'er, tell me."
"Husband, Sister Wanyan is right.
For you, my husband, to be crowned king at this time is indeed an act of breaking your own arms."
"Yao'er, tell me what you think."
Huyan Yunyao chuckled and nodded, and said in a soft voice: "First of all, my husband has divided three thrones at once, and the manpower and material resources that will be consumed by then are definitely not a small amount.
Husband, where do you think the manpower, material resources, money and materials they consume come from?"
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and replied without hesitation: "Yao'er, do you need to say this? Of course the money comes from the treasury?"
"Yes, it means taking money from the treasury.
Then, husband, think about it for yourself, it is a matter of conferring a kingship, administering the people's livelihood, recruiting new soldiers, and preparing the food and fodder for the new soldiers to go on an expedition.
With the current status of our Dalong treasury, can we support these consumptions?"
As Huyan Yunyao spoke, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, as if she thought of something again.
"Oh, by the way, in addition to these expenses, the imperial court also spends a lot of money and supplies every year.
Come and support Brother Jiang He in commanding our fleet of dragon treasure ships and patrolling all the nations of the West.
As the king of a country, you, my husband, should know more about how much money and materials you need to prepare for a tour of the West than I do."
Liu Mingzhi raised his brows, gently turned the jade ring on his thumb, and looked at Huyan Yunyao with a faint smile.
"Yao'er, you are wrong about this.
Jiang He led my dragon fleet to patrol the Western nations, nominally to show kindness to the Western nations.
However, that is only in name.
Over the years, Jiang He set sail several times to visit all the Western countries. His real purpose was to trade with those Western barbarians.
My husband, I am not a fool, how can I take my own money and give it to those Westerners?
Over the years, Jiang He has led tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the treasure fleet, and has brought back so much gold and silver treasure from the West, Yaoer, you should know."
After hearing Liu Mingzhi's explanation, Huyan Yunyao nodded without hesitation.
"That's right, husband, I know all these concubines you mentioned."
"That's okay."
Huyan Yunyao'e raised her eyebrows lightly, smiled and shook her head.
"But, husband, you need to know that during the army's expedition, the thing that consumes the most is not the increasing gold and silver treasures in the treasury.
It’s the food and grass supplies that people need to eat horse chews!
In most cases, as long as you have gold and silver treasures, you can buy a large amount of grain and grass supplies.
However, once certain special circumstances occur.
Husband, even if you have a mountain of gold and silver, you still can't buy the food and supplies you need."
After listening to Huyan Yunyao's views, Liu Mingzhi understood what she wanted to express without thinking.
The special situation Huyan Yunyao mentioned was nothing more than the sudden occurrence of a particularly serious natural disaster in Dalong territory one day.
Once this is the case, compared to the so-called gold and silver jewelry.
For the people, food is the most important thing.
Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people.
The common people are not afraid of not having gold, silver and jewelry, nor are they afraid of not having a life of glory and wealth.
The only thing they fear is running out of food and food.
If the people have no food to eat.
The consequences would be serious!
Seeing the thoughtful expression on Liu Mingzhi's face, Huyan Yunyao chuckled and pursed her dry red lips a few times.
She knew that her husband must have understood the meaning of her words.
"Husband, of course, the possibility of what I just mentioned happening is extremely slim.
However, we must take precautions!
Can you guarantee that everything will go smoothly in the future?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently, took out the tobacco bag from his waist, and skillfully lit a pot of tobacco with the fire stick again.
"If you are heartless, smoke less."
"Husband, wouldn't it be better for you to drink some tea and drink some wine than to smoke something like this dry cigarette?"
Liu Mingzhi put away the tobacco, watched the two queen sisters nodding happily, and leaned directly over the soles of the shoes to knock out the smoking tobacco.
"Husband, I will listen to you and stop smoking. I will stop smoking."
As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he raised his foot and stepped on the tobacco on the stone bricks a few times.
Seeing Young Master Liu's actions, the Queen chuckled and took off the wine bag from Liu's waist, and handed it over with a smile as bright as a flower.
"Hey, let's have a drink."
Liu Mingzhi took the wine bag, pulled out the cork and took a sip, then looked at Hu Yanjunyao with a smile.
"Yao'er."
"Hey, husband."
"You said so much before, but later on you brought up the topic of Jiang He commanding a fleet of treasure ships to patrol the Western countries.
You said so many words.
Obviously you don’t seem to agree with your husband’s idea of becoming a king, right?”
Huyanjunyao'e frowned slightly and was silent for a while, then looked at her husband and nodded gently.
"Yes, I, like sister Wanyan, don't agree with your husband's idea of becoming a king.
but……"
"Huh? But what?"
"However, I just don't agree with your husband's idea of becoming a king now. It's not that I don't agree with you all the time.
Husband, think about it for yourself, with the current annual tax situation of the imperial treasury, can it support such expenditure?
There is no harm in delaying the administration of the people's livelihood, and there is no harm in delaying the affairs of the king and the vassal.
But can the major military aircraft event be delayed?
The matters concerning people's livelihood, official administration, and the king's title will be delayed for a while, and they will be solved soon.
But if a major military aircraft event is delayed, it is no small matter.
Husband, you used to be the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. I don’t need my concubine to explain this to you, right?
Pull one hair and move the whole body!"
Liu Mingzhi took a few gulps of wine, and then handed the wine bag to Hu Yanjunyao.
"You two sisters have been talking for so long, so drink some wine to moisten your throat."
"Hey, thank you, husband."
After Huyanjunyao took a few sips of wine, he handed the wine bag to the queen.
"Husband, I don't know what other civil servants will think of me after they know your thoughts.
But Jiang Yuanming and Jiang Shangshu, the Minister of Household Affairs, will definitely be worried about not being able to eat or sleep well."
"To put it mildly, Yao'er, what if your husband insists on being crowned king?"
Huyan Yunyao looked at Young Master Liu quietly, her red lips slightly raised.
"Of course it's okay, but that's it!"
"Um?"
"Unless, husband, you give up your next military plan."
"Besides this, is there no other good way?"
“Husband, you can’t have your cake and eat it too!
How can everything go smoothly?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a complicated expression, reached for the wine bag in Queen Jade's hand and took a few sips.
He wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with his fingers and breathed in silently.
“Huh, yes, you can’t have your cake and eat it too!
Yaoer, your opinion is quite similar to that of elder brother.
Not only do we think about opening up frontiers and expanding our territory, but we also think about the people's livelihood and the administration of officials in the rear areas, not to mention any impact.
Judging from the current situation of my dragon, it is indeed a bit too difficult."
"Oh? What did eldest brother say?"
"Brother means..."
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of wine from time to time and stated loudly to the two beauties what Song Qing had told him before.
After a long time.
Huyanjunyao gently slid her fingers on her red lips, a flash of understanding flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Husband, you are right. My elder brother's thoughts and my concubine's thoughts are indeed very similar."
"So, neither of you sisters agree to make your husband a king?"
"You are heartless, didn't sister Yaoer just say that?
It’s not that we two sisters disagree with your idea of making the king a king, but we don’t agree with your idea of making the brothers Chengfeng, Chengzhi and others kings in the near future.
Let’s not talk about the previous situations.
Let us now talk about some situations that may arise after you let brothers Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chengqian and Zhenghao go to the fiefdom to establish vassalage."
"To put it mildly, Yao'er, my husband understands what you two sisters mean.
Don't you just want to say that once your husband is crowned king, the minds of all the civil and military officials in the dynasty will change!"
"That's right, as long as you understand.
No matter which of their brothers continues to stay in the capital, the minds of the civil and military officials in the DPRK will definitely change.
As for what kind of changes will occur, is there any need to say?
Most likely, we will start paving the way for the descendants below.
And, this is just one of them.”
"what else?"
"There is also what I said before about the situation where the vassal king holds great power and supports his troops with self-respect.
You have no conscience, there is one thing you need to be clear about.
Not all kings of a country are you, Liu Mingzhi.
Not all vassal kings are just brothers like Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chenggan, Zhenghao and Zhengwen.
When you are in power, how many of them can you control?
But, have you ever thought about our children and grandchildren?"
Liu Mingzhi's body trembled, and he looked at the Queen with complicated eyes.
The Queen's thoughts coincided with her own.
The Queen saw the complicated look in Young Master Liu's eyes, chuckled and waved her hand.
"No more, no more.
As the saying goes, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
Whatever happens in the future, just let nature take its course.
Sooner or later, our husband, wife and others will turn into nothing more than a handful of loess.
At this moment, if we think about it so much, we are just asking for trouble."
"Husband, I would like to express my gratitude to my sister.
What's the use of us and my wife thinking so much now?
When we wait a hundred years from now, the situation in the future will be whatever it is.
Just like what you, my husband, said to me many years ago.
Just cherish the moment and that’s it.”
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of the wine, capped it and handed it to the Queen.
"Plain words, put it away."
"good!"
The Queen nodded with a smile, then casually took the wine bag from Liu Mingzhi's hand and handed it to her waist.
Liu Mingzhi casually put his hands on his back and walked forward unhurriedly.
"Since both of you sisters believe that being crowned king at this time would do more harm than good.
Then, let’s postpone the matter of making the king a little longer.
Maybe, the things you consider for your husband may not always be right."
When Huyan Yunyao heard Liu Mingzhi's somewhat emotional tone, a look of worry suddenly appeared on her pretty face.
"Husband, did the thoughts of my sisters affect your initial judgment and decision?"
Liu Mingzhi heard the worry in Hu Yanjunyao's tone, and quickly turned to look at the beauty, smiling and waving his hand.
"That's not true. I am dissatisfied with you two sisters.
The situations you sisters mentioned earlier have actually been thought of in the past two days, and as a husband, I have already thought about them.
Not only did I think of it, I even thought about it several times."
"What's the result?"
"The result is that the situation predicted by my husband is exactly the same as what you two sisters have in mind.
Although there are some differences, there is not much difference at all.
I thought I would hear some different suggestions from you two sisters.
It’s a pity that things went counterproductive!”
"You are heartless, I have something to tell you."
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"You just think too much.
I always think that no matter what happens, I want to rely on myself to solve it once and for all.
However, have you ever thought about how there are so many things in this world that can be settled once and for all?"
Liu Mingzhi paused slightly, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"To put it mildly, I..."
The Queen raised her arm and patted the back of Young Master Liu's hand, with a self-deprecating smile on her lips.
"You're heartless, I said this without any intention of hurting you.
In fact, you are not the only one who thinks so.
Sometimes, I think so in my heart, and I think so more than once.
I think back then, before the world was unified, when I was the empress of the Jin Kingdom, I had considered these things more than once.
In other words, this is what I have thought since the day I just inherited the throne."
"Really?"
The Queen turned to look at Young Master Liu and rolled her eyes with a proud face.
"Of course it's true. Do you think I'm going to lie to you about this little thing?
At the beginning, what I was thinking about was how to leave a relatively stable country and country for Feixiong."
"Sister Wanyan, what happened next?"
When the Queen heard Hu Yanjunyao's curious tone, she raised her lips and gestured to Young Master Liu.
"Later, as Fei Xiong got older, he became more and more resistant to his sister's idea of him inheriting the throne.
At first, my sister thought he was just a child, but she gradually changed.
Unfortunately, with the development of time.
My sister gradually understood that this boy really didn't want to inherit the throne.
It should be said that he had never been interested in that chair.
With no other choice, my sister had no choice but to train Yue'er, a stinky girl.
As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog sons.
This girl Yue'er's character is too in line with the heartless character in our family.
From her, my sister saw hope.
No matter what, time is not with me.
This girl Yue'er hasn't really grown up yet, and we sisters have both been defeated at the hands of this heartless person."
Huyan Yunyao looked at the helpless look on the queen's face, chuckled and shook her head.
"Sister Wanyan, now that the matter has come to this, please just take it easy."
