After Liu Mingzhi murmured softly to himself, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.
The road of life is full of unknown changes.
On the way forward, a person only knows what path he is going to take, but he cannot predict what challenges he will encounter on the road ahead.
For the path I have chosen in my heart, I have racked my brains and carefully planned for three or four years.
Three or four years, more than a thousand days and nights!
well!
I don’t know where the road ahead will lead or how far it will go.
Liu Mingzhi looked a little confused, and after some inner discussion, he held the teacup in one hand and pointed on the map in front of him with the other and started to walk around gently.
It took about half a cup of tea.
When Young Master Liu was scanning the map in front of him with concentration, Liu Song's words suddenly came from outside the study again.
"Master Qi, Duke Protector and Duke Yong'an have arrived."
When Liu Mingzhi heard Liu Song's words, he instantly recovered from his silence, then turned around and looked out the door with a faint smile.
"please!"
"Yes, little one, I obey."
After Liu Song responded loudly, he immediately turned to look at Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye who were standing inside the courtyard gate, and waved with a smile on his face.
"Shuai Zhang, Shuai Nangong, please!"
Arrogant and Nangong Ye both hugged Liu Song with smiles on their faces, and then they set off and walked straight to Young Master Liu's study.
"It's time to work."
"It's time to work."
"I don't dare, I don't dare, it's my duty."
"Liu Song, please come in too."
"yes."
After Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye walked into the study one after another, they immediately bowed and bowed when they saw Young Master Liu standing in front of the map.
"Old minister Zhang Kuang sees your Majesty, long live long live."
"Old minister Nangong Ye pays homage to Your Majesty, long live long live."
"No need to be polite, it's all waived."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi raised the teacup in his hand to his mouth, took a sip of herbal tea, and pointed to the chair next to the map with a faint smile.
"Both uncles, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi took two small steps forward, turned around and sat casually on the chair behind him.
"Liu Song, watch the tea."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
Liu Song turned around and picked up the teapot on the table next to him, poured a cup of herbal tea for Zhang Kuang and the two of them, then slowly stepped aside and stopped.
Liu Dashan saw the situation, smiled lightly and caressed the tea cover in his hand, turned slightly sideways and put his arms on the armrests of the chair, and crossed his legs casually.
"Two uncles, there are no outsiders here, I won't let Liu Song make tea anymore, young master.
A cup of herbal tea, that's all you need."
"Hehehe, Your Majesty, it's all the same, it's all the same."
"That's right, they're all the same, they're all the same."
Zhang Kuang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the herbal tea in the cup, then raised his head and looked at Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, do you have anything to tell me when you came to these two veterans?"
Upon hearing the insolent inquiry, Young Master Liu gently put down the tea cup in his hand, picked up the tobacco bag on the table, and skillfully lit a pot of tobacco.
"call."
After taking a puff of smoke, Young Master Liu smiled lightly and waved to Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and Liu Song.
"Uncles Liu Song, if you also want to join in the pot, you can feel free to do so."
"Your Majesty, that old minister is rude."
"Hey, hey, Master, I'm rude too."
In just a dozen breaths, the four people in the study all started puffing away from a dry pipe.
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and slapped the light smoke lingering in front of his eyes twice, and glanced at Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye with a smile.
"Two uncles, I have come to see you this time because I want to ask you something." "Your Majesty, please tell me everything I know."
"Old minister seconded the proposal. Your Majesty, I would like to ask."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded. After taking a puff of the cigarette, he lightly tapped his fingers on his crossed knees.
"Two uncles, two years ago, I sent a letter to each of you two.
I ask you to reserve as much food and grass as possible as long as the situation in Tianzhu and Dashi is stable.
Now, more than two years have passed, how have you two handled this matter?"
Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye heard Young Master Liu's inquiry and immediately looked at each other.
Immediately, Zhang Kuang took the lead and turned his attention back to Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, shall I speak first?"
"Haha, hahaha, whichever one of you two says first is the same."
"Back to Your Majesty, since I received the letter from Your Majesty, I immediately began to send orders to the main generals stationed in various cities in the Dashi Kingdom to supervise the matter.
Now, Lao Chenzuo's westward expedition army has sufficient food and grass reserves in the granaries of various cities and towns.
According to the veteran’s estimation, the total amount of grain and grass in all the warehouses is enough to support the consumption of a million-strong army for nearly two years.”
After hearing the number Zhang Kuang answered, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across Mr. Liu's eyes.
"Enough to support a million-strong army for nearly two years?"
"Your Majesty, that's right."
"Uncle, as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, I don't need to tell you how important food and grass matters are.
Are you sure that the food and grass currently stored by your left-wing westward expedition army is enough to consume an army of one million people for nearly two years?"
Zhang Kuang quickly put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up from the chair, and saluted Young Master Liu with a serious look on his face.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am very sure.
Regarding the matter of food and grass, I am willing to guarantee it with my head."
Seeing Zhang Kuang's serious look, Young Master Liu quickly raised his hand cheerfully to signal.
"Uncle, I'm serious, I'm serious.
It's not that I don't believe you, the main reason is that the amount of food and grass you mentioned is too much, so much that I can't help but be surprised by it.
Since you have said so, uncle, I naturally have nothing to say.
Sit, sit, sit, keep sitting."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi held the tobacco bag and took a big puff of tobacco, then turned his eyes to Nangong Ye with a faint smile.
"Uncle, how is the situation over there?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, the right-wing Western Expedition Army that I am responsible for is slightly inferior to Brother Zhang's side in terms of storing food and grass.
According to the estimation of the veteran, the amount of grain and grass currently stored in the warehouses of various cities in the Zhu Kingdom can probably support the consumption of a million-strong army for about a year and a half.
As for the specific amount of grain and grass, the veteran dare not say too decisively now.
However, it should not be a problem to support it for a year and a half."
As soon as Nangong Ye finished speaking, Young Master Liu couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Uncle, can the amount of grain and grass you have over there last for about a year and a half?"
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
After Liu Dashao said three times in a row, he raised his hand and slapped his thigh hard several times.
However, just when Mr. Liu wanted to say something else.
Suddenly.
Liu Mingzhi seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Two uncles."
"The old minister is here."
"The old minister is here."
After Liu Mingzhi gently took a puff of dry smoke, he glanced at Zhang Kuang and Zhang Kuang hesitantly.
"Two uncles, with your talents and knowledge, you should understand what it means to be benevolent and righteous, but to have different offensive and defensive forces, right?"
