It can be said that if Sang Weng La is a representative of military generals, Long Qi is an example of civilian officials.

Such a person stood up and expressed his opinion, and soon won the support of many civil officials below, not only that, but some people simply talked about the previous sneak attack on Hanoi City, accusing it of being a mistake at all, playing with fire, and only putting the Lancang Kingdom in danger.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to balance civil and military affairs, which is determined by their nature.

Just as military generals can only show their role on the battlefield, civil officials need peace in the world, and only then can they display their talents. And once there is a war, their skills will be difficult to use, which is why once there is a big war in history, the civilian officials are always the main peace, and the military generals are always the main battle.

Payasai was still sitting in his high seat, smiling at everything. For an emperor, balancing power represents their means. The confrontation between civil and military, this is even what he wants to see in his heart. But when he saw that the morale of the civil officials was getting higher and higher, and the generals such as Sang Weng La slowly stopped talking and kept silent, he also saw that something was wrong. He wants to be balanced, but he definitely doesn't want to see either side grow.

"Enough, enough." Seeing that the situation was completely one-sided, Payasai finally had to stand up and speak.

At this shout, the hall quickly fell silent, showing that the authority of the king of Payasai was still very heavy. "The matter of the alliance with Fan Yuhai was discussed before, how can we break the appointment? Besides, the mercenaries first attacked General Lati and killed him, and this time they killed General Sehi, and we are already incompatible, so don't think about peace or anything. Sang Weng, this king now orders you to lead the army to the north, go to Sang Nu City to join General Fan Yuhai, and you must keep the enemy's army out of the country. ”

"The minister commands." Sang Weng La bowed his head and respectfully agreed, and when he looked up, he looked at Long Qi and the others with some provocative eyes, and the meaning of the demonstration was very obvious.

The court meeting ended with the king's words, and Sangwenla began to send troops, and at the same time sent people to supervise the problem of food and grass for the army. This time, an army of 100,000 went on the expedition, and just eating and drinking Lazar every day was a big expense.

"National teacher, General Sang has come to urge food and clothing." As soon as he returned to the mansion, Long Qi saw some relevant officials waiting for him in front of the mansion. He was not in a good mood and waved his hand impatiently, "Give, give what you want." ”

"National teacher, there are very few military supplies in the treasury, do you want to take them all out at once?" Several officials asked for advice with constipated expressions. It is no wonder that they are so embarrassed, first 100,000 troops were defeated, then 50,000 troops were defeated, and there were many military supplies that were defeated with them. After a few battles, the stocks in the treasury are getting smaller and smaller. And this time, Sang Weng La opened his mouth widely, asking for 100,000 guns and clothing, which is already their limit, and if they really take it out according to this requirement, the treasury will be empty, and once there is a need, then there is really nothing to take out.

At that time, once the king was giving orders, what were they going to do? That's when I came to ask the national teacher for advice.

"Is it very little? Haven't you been building weapons and making uniforms? Longzi asked with a slight frown. As a nation

Division, there are too many things he needs to manage on weekdays, and it is impossible to know everything very clearly.

Several officials looked embarrassed and replied, "If you return to the country, we have been working hard, but we can't stand the consumption too much, and now many weapons have only been polished for the first time, but they just look shaped, but there is still a big distance from tenacity." ”

"Yes, Master Guoshi, the same is true for military uniforms, shoes and hats, only some of them are made, and the others are only semi-finished products, and it takes a lot of embroidery girls to work overtime for at least two months before it can be completed."

Several subordinates were gossiping, which also gave Long Qi a better understanding of the situation.

It was precisely because he knew enough that his brows were slightly raised, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. Then he quickly returned to a calm state, and said after a moment of silence: "I see, but it is also hard for you." Hey, it's all about those generals who only know how to fight, and don't care about your feelings at all, even if that's the case, they are in a hurry, so give them the half-finished product. ”

"Ahh Listening to Long Qi's answer, several subordinate officials were stunned and looked incomprehensible.

"What? If you don't want to, if you don't want to, then go and explain it to them yourself, the national teacher doesn't care. Seeing that he had an idea, these people didn't seem to agree, and Long Qi turned around angrily and wanted to walk towards the mansion. This frightened the officials, who hurriedly stopped Longzi's footsteps, and then asked loudly, "If you give them half-finished products, what if they find out on the battlefield?" ”

"When they found out, they found out that they couldn't do it themselves. Besides, this time it was originally us to cooperate with Fan Yuhai to fight, but it was just to build momentum. Of course, if you have other options, you can think about it. Rhonzi said with a nonchalant attitude.

If there was another way, would they still come to Lunzi for advice? Thinking that there is indeed no better way, those people in the army are like wolves and tigers, and they look like they will be beaten at any time if they don't give anything, these officials finally made up their minds, anyway, this idea was developed by Longqi Guoshi, and once something happened, they were not alone. In the end, one by one said that they would act according to orders, and they left the National Teacher's Mansion.

When his ears finally fell silent, Long Qi strode towards the backyard of Fuzhong. "You all stay outside, the national teacher wants to be alone." With a wave of his hand, he repelled the guards around him, and he entered the hospital alone.

With no one around, Rhonzi's footsteps became faster, and after seven or eight turns, he stopped in front of a small room, and after taking a deep breath, he pushed the door in.

The hut was not very large, except for a bed, two chairs and a small wooden table, there was nothing else, it looked very simple, but at this time there was a person sitting on the chair fiddling with the tea leaves in front of him, and he seemed to be very focused, and he did not look displeased at all because of the simplicity of the environment.

"Mr. Yun." Long Qi's attitude became a little more respectful, far from being as condescending as he was to a few subordinates just now.

"The national teacher is here, please take a seat, just in time, taste the tea I just brewed." With a smile on his face, Mr. Yun pointed to the one in front of him

Empty chairs.

"Then try Mr. Yun's craftsmanship." A smile appeared on Ronzi's face and he sat down in his chair.

The hut suddenly became a lot quieter, until the tea had been brewed, and after Mr. Yun took the initiative to pour tea for the two of them, Long Qi took the teacup and took a sip, and then said with a very intoxicated look on his face: "Sure enough, it is good tea." ”

Whether the tea is really good or not, naturally no one cares, all everyone wants is just an atmosphere. Mr. Yun smiled at Longqi's performance, he understood that this was just the other party's use of this matter to make a statement. Even if he said that his tea was good, and his attitude was so respectful, it would go without saying that this person had already made a decision. Thinking like this, the smile on his face was even stronger, and then he took out his right hand into his arms, and a silver ticket of one million taels was held in his hand, "National teacher, this is given to you by our loyal and courageous father, with this ticket, anyone can exchange the same amount of silver taels in any Yang family bank." ”

"Hee-hee, hee-hee." Long Qi unceremoniously stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket, and said with a smile on his face as bright as a flower: "Loyal and courageous is really generous, Long Qi admires." ”

That's a million taels of silver. Thinking about how big the Lancang Kingdom is, the income of the treasury in a year is only about two million taels, and this shot is half a year's income, who can not be greedy when they see it.

Carefully put the silver ticket into his arms, Long Qi didn't wait to speak, Mr. Yun's words had already come out, "By the way, this is just the beginning, Zhong Dangong said, as long as the national teacher does a good job, he will give you a total of five million taels, which can be regarded as a kind of support for the Long family to do business in the future." ”

"Shhh When he heard the figure of five million taels, Long Qi, who had a hippie smile just now, couldn't help but gasp. What a fortune it would be, with these, even if the Long family didn't do anything, it could eat for several generations just by eating interest.

As soon as the figure of five million taels was spoken, Long Qi's heart, which was still a little hesitant, was completely firm. Of course, he is not worried that if he does something for Zhongdangong, the other party will not fulfill it, because he will become a role model, whether it is good or bad will be seen by many people, if Zhongdangong really dares to play tricks with him, it will only chill the hearts of more people. Legend has it that the loyal and courageous man is a person who does great things, and he will not be so careless.

Long Qi thought well, Yang Chendong didn't have the slightest intention of scheming with him, the figure of five million taels was said, of course it would be fulfilled, this was related to his external image, how could he do that kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall?

Then again, the reason why you have to pay such a big price is also because Lonzi itself is worth the price. Five million taels is not a small amount in the eyes of any country, but it is really nothing in the Red Embedded City, which produces all kinds of novelty goods.

That's the advantage of capital. It is not impossible that the so-called money can make the ghost push the ghost, and even when the amount of silver reaches a certain amount, it can be reversed. In addition, fighting a war is a fight for money, and winning a war can lead to plundering more resources and good things, which also seems to have become a kind of cycle. It's just that some people play well and can form a virtuous circle, and some people don't play well and it's easy to collapse.
