Chapter 1726 Returning

Chu Qing's mission was completed. He did not see Huang Laosi, but he promoted the alliance between the two countries and conquered Baekje.

The Donghai was riding the wind and waves at full speed, and Chu Qing was standing on the bow of the ship, comforting his uncle.

He patted his chest and promised that as long as Liu Jinxi agreed, he would agree, not interfere with freedom of love, and overthrow parents' arranged marriage.

There was nothing I could do. My uncle was getting more and more depressed. He hid in the cabin every day and drank to drown his sorrows. He never saw the sun and his skin was as pale as a vampire.

The relationship between men and women is really mysterious.

When Liu Jinxi left, my uncle didn't feel anything at all, and he didn't think about it when they got along on Ryukyu Island.

As a result, as Liu Jinxi was away longer and longer, my uncle missed him more and more. The more he missed him, the more depressed he became. The more depressed he became, the more he missed him, and then a closed loop was formed.

Tao Ruolin didn't get involved at all with her eldest brother's behavior, and looked like he was just doing whatever he wanted.

Chu Qing talked for a long time, and his left ear went in and his right ear went out. There was nothing he could do, this is what happens to people who are lovesick, so he had to ask Qiu Baoyu, an emotional expert who was single since birth, to take him back and slowly enlighten him.

As soon as my uncle left, Cuiyu came over with a puzzled look on his face: "I thought you were going to fight again, so why did you return to Guocheng?"

"For such things as war, there are professionals. Naval battles, Chen Dinglan, and land battles, army brothers. I'm responsible for the money."

Cuiyu didn't understand what he meant: "But if you are here, the morale of the army will be strong and the morale will be skyrocketing. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that in the hearts of the navy army, you are like a god. I know that you will be able to lead the army without danger in a hundred battles."

Not to mention, even the people of Silla know your reputation, and with you in charge, the Silla army will fight bravely to kill the enemy."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Chu Qing pinched his waist, feeling proud. Cuiyu didn't say anything, he was used to it.

After laughing for a while, Chu Qing shook his head and said: "Wars require money. Even if I am not a human being, I can't just lead troops to fight and ignore supplies. I can't make suggestions to reduce the number of battle losses for the army, let alone

I can't take the lead and kill more enemies, but I can get more money for the troops, prepare enough weapons and armor, and prepare enough food and fodder for the horses, so that the troops don't have to worry about anything."

"Is this why you ordered all the wealthy merchants and aristocratic families to gather in Guocheng a few days ago?" Cuyu said with a calm face: "You don't use the money from the treasury, but the money from merchants and aristocratic families. Are you, Chu Qing, stupid?"

!”

"How much money can the imperial court allocate from the treasury?"

"How could I know this?"

Chu Qing asked again: "When did the imperial court say that Lao Si represented the imperial court and represented the Chang Dynasty in conquering Goguryeo?"

Cuiyu recalled that after the fight, it seemed that the court had not yet concluded the fight. Everyone thought that the fourth child was seeking revenge for the tenth child, and did not say that the war was officially started.

Chu Qing: "Does the imperial court know that the fourth child wants to devour Goguryeo and Baekje? Does it know that the Silla people are allying with us to attack Baekje together?"

Cuiyu shook his head: "How could the imperial court know? Even we only found out the inside story after meeting the Supreme Emperor a few days ago."

"That's right." Chu Qing shrugged: "That is to say, if I send someone back to the court and ask for money, the court will ask why. If I talk about fighting a national war, Goguryeo, and Baekje, what will happen to the court?

It will be very confusing, and then a group of people will jump out and babble, analyzing this and that, endlessly, even if the prince decides, how much money the court can allocate seems to be a matter of the Ministry of Revenue.

, the Ministry of Household Affairs is also our own people, but the Ministry of Household Affairs still needs to distribute money to other places, and they are all transferred here, can those government offices that are paid money not make trouble? How long will it take to make trouble, except

In addition, the more money is transferred, the higher the price of materials and food is. Do you know how many things are involved? The war has already begun, waiting for the ink to come and go from the court, and how much the soldiers on the front line will be lost during this period.

people?"

"This is the truth, but the name is not justified. You have set a precedent..."

Cuttlefish sighed repeatedly.

He didn't understand what Chu Qing said. The reason why he was worried was not about money and food, but about "degree".

Making money from the people to fight for the army, where does this put the court's face?

The cuttlefish is helpless about this kind of thing.

Although the court has been completely renewed, the ministers who attend court every day in Changjing do not always represent the officials of the world.

This is also the reason why Cuttlefish doesn't want to think deeply about it, and it makes him hateful when he thinks about it.

If you don't give money, you won't let the army get money from other places. This kind of thing has not happened once or twice in Dachang Dynasty. Let's talk about how poor the previous Beibian Pass was. It's time for horses to run away again.

, and don’t let the horses eat grass. This means that the British Duke Feng Luo is the commander-in-chief of the border. After decades, he has created the soul of the border army. Otherwise, he will probably be like Nanguan Bing Tao. Go to hell and quit.

Okay, it's not that disgusting.

"Believe me, it's no problem. The court and the big shots are just for pain. Only by hitting their faces again and again to hurt them and slapping them red will they change."

After Chu Qing finished speaking, he threw out his fishing rod and continued fishing.

Cuttlefish hesitated to speak, but in the end he said nothing.

He felt that if the imperial court was slapped in the face ten thousand times and blushed for ten thousand years, it would be the same as it should be. At least for now, it is like this. The redness lasts for a long time and the beating hurts. These grandchildren will gradually get used to it.

Already.

Cuttlefish was not the first to ask, nor was he the last to express concern.

Chu Qing didn't care at all.

He felt that he was now qualified to challenge some of the corrupt and stupid systems of the country, especially those so-called traditions, which made him feel full of malice.

Not only are big shots unable to empathize with others, but they also consider other people's life-related issues from their own perspective, and at the same time think that they are right.

What makes Chu Qing most angry is that even though the court has changed ministers one after another, these so-called ministers pretend to "correct", but the fact is that the so-called corrections are just under the threat of the butcher's knife.

, I just rethought my prejudices.

This time the return voyage encountered wind and waves, which delayed it for several days, and the temperature at sea became lower and lower. Exactly half a month later, the Donghai returned to Guocheng waters.

Every time I come to Guocheng, I always feel like my heart changes every day.

Looking from a distance, Guocheng seems to have become somewhat prosperous since it was less than two months since I last left.

The first snow has fallen. This pearl city that rose from the ruins did not become depressed because of the cold weather. On the contrary, a large number of merchants brought people and countless money to respond to Chu Qing's call, whether they were in the spotlight or not.

No matter what, after all, it will add a few bricks and a few tiles to Guocheng.

The East China Sea slowly stopped in the deep sea area. Many people noticed the Donghai and ran to tell each other. They stood on the coast and waved and shouted.

When Chu Qing came to the shore, the people who were waving and shouting had left again, and they were busy with whatever they had to do. It was just a formality.

"A bunch of unruly people, damn."

That's right, it's just going through the motions. People always have to live their own lives, strive for a better tomorrow, and race against time. Only children who are new to the world and don't know the ups and downs of life will pay attention to things that have nothing to do with them.
