Chapter 31: Barracks!
As soon as the words came out, the audience was shocked.
"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat!" Emperor Xia muttered to himself, and the ministers were also thoughtful: "That's a good point!" β
Emperor Xia stood up all of a sudden and sighed lightly: "Zixuan said well! The metaphor is very vivid! β
Su Xun's eyes were dull for a while, and he said: "Your Majesty, what Your Highness said is very appropriate, the ancient sages must be benevolent, and only by ensuring that the people live and work in peace and contentment, can this country have hope of being strong!" β
"The people live on food! If everyone can meet the most basic food and clothing problems, there will be more spare energy, so in the final analysis, we are still short of money! Luo Chen took over with a smile.
For this, Emperor Xia empathizes, some time ago, there was no military spending of 700,000 to worry about, if the treasury has money, then the army can definitely be expanded to more than one million!
"Since the founding of the country, Daxia has always implemented the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, so that commercial development has been restricted, and how can we be rich and strong if we squeeze the peasants in a blind way?" Luo Chen took a deep breath: "Therefore, not only can we not inhibit the development of business, but also vigorously support it, only when business is prosperous, can the economy prosper!" β
"So how do you get the revenue?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly, unable to understand.
"Business tax!"
Luo Chen said with a smile, "Light agricultural tax, heavy business tax!" β
Hearing Luo Chen's words, Emperor Xia couldn't care about educating his son, and directly led several ministers to leave in a hurry, it seems that he is going to do something again!
As for Luo Chen's decision to open a restaurant, Emperor Xia didn't mention it again, so let him toss!
Luo Chen smiled, brought out a few more plates of food from the kitchen, looked at Xue Rengui and the others and said with a smile: "To be a man, you must learn to keep a hand!" β
ββ¦β¦β
"How can you be so shameless?"
β¦β¦
After lunch, a few people rested for a while, and then came to the forbidden army barracks.
"Your Highness, this is the forbidden army barracks!" Qin Hu pointed to a military camp in front of him, his expression was a little dazed.
In a trance, it seems to have returned to the life in the army again......
"Look, it looks like ...... Commander Qin! The veteran who stood guard saw Qin Hu's figure and said excitedly.
"Like...... It really is! β
"Commander Qin? Which Qin commander? "Some recruits don't know Qin Hu, after all, he has been the commander of the forbidden army for a few years.
"Show your token, please!"
As soon as Luo Chen and the others walked to the camp tent, they were stopped by a young forbidden soldier.
"You are so blind, Commander Qin is like this, you still dare to ask for tokens, when Commander Qin intimidated one side, I'm afraid you were still playing with mud!"
"Right...... I'm sorry, Commander Qin! The recruit blushed and said with a stumbling face.
"It's okay, I'm no longer the commander of the forbidden army, just His Highness's guard!"
Qin Hu smiled and shook his head, Luo Chen couldn't imagine that Qin Hu, who had always been a tiger, would actually have this scene!
"Commander!"
The veteran's eyes were a little moist, although Commander Qin didn't know his name, but he had also sat at a table to eat meat!
Gao Shun patted Qin Hu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, the past follows the wind, no need to say more, let's go in!" β
Lin Jinnan learned that Luo Chen was coming in the afternoon, so he waited here again.
"The last general, Lin Jinnan, see His Highness!" When Lin Jinnan saw Luo Chen's figure, he knelt on the ground from a distance, and there were several partial generals beside him.
"Flatten! This king is here today as a captain of Zhaowu, not as a free king, so it is only natural that I salute the commander! Luo Chen waved his hand, his face was pale, and he said.
As he spoke, he respectfully gave a military salute to Lin Jinnan.
Lin Jinnan suddenly had a good impression, before he came, he was worried that His Majesty would definitely bring him a lot of trouble if he sent Luo Chen, the second ancestor, but he didn't expect that Luo Chen would still salute like him.
This made him panic, Luo Chen's notoriety was widely spread in Chang'an City, but now, he was so polite, could it be that he was playing some kind of ghost idea?
Lin Jinnan was vigilant in his heart: "You must take a good look at Your Highness!" β
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has appointed you as the captain of Zhaowu, and according to the rules, you will command three thousand people!" Lin Jinnan said politely.
Luo Chen nodded: "My father asked me to recruit troops by myself, but I didn't give money or food, so for the time being, there were only seven hundred, so you can allocate seven hundred weapons and armor for me first!" β
Lin Jinnan smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty has already thought of this, so General Ling Mo will allocate 3,000 people to His Royal Highness to form a full battalion!" β
Luo Chen's face was surprised, he was originally going to recruit recruits, after all, recruits are more malleable, but he didn't expect that the cheap dad had already arranged everything for him!
"Take me to see it!"
Lin Jinnan nodded, "Your Highness, several, please follow me!" β
Luo Chen and the others followed Lin Jinnan, turned east and west, and walked for about ten minutes, and came to an open place.
Luo Chen frowned suddenly, the scene was very chaotic, three thousand people stood crookedly, and some even simply sat on the ground and sprayed the sky.
Lin Jinnan's face sank suddenly, he didn't expect that he would have such a big face today!
Seeing that Lin Jinnan was ready to be angry, Luo Chen waved his hand, signaled him not to speak, slowly walked up to a high platform, and swept around with a smile: "Are you going to give me a dismount?" β
Suddenly, the audience fell silent and looked at Luo Chen quietly.
Luo Chen smiled faintly, and had already guessed the approximate situation: "I know that you are dissatisfied with this transfer, because your new chief is a notorious man!" β
There was a commotion below, but as soon as Luo Chen's hands were pressed, he calmed down, this is not to say how high Luo Chen's prestige is, but they want to hear what this highness wants to say!
Luo Chen's face was cold and solemn, and he said solemnly: "I'll tell you!" Today, you are so childish that you have lost the face of your rulers! β
Sure enough, as soon as Luo Chen's words fell, some people retorted: "Why do you say that, you are just a waste!" β
In normal times, absolutely no one would dare to say this, but at this moment, the three thousand people in the audience were already boiling, and there was even a trace of restlessness.
Luo Chen sneered and said loudly: "You tell me, what is the duty of a soldier?" β
Suddenly, the audience fell silent again, and Luo Chen didn't wait for them to answer, he spoke: "A soldier's duty is to carry out orders!" β
"Since your superiors have transferred you out, what you have to do is not to play tricks, not to vent your dissatisfaction, but to obey!" Luo Chen's voice was almost roaring.
"Not only do you give me the impression that you are very naΓ―ve, but you have also told me by this behavior that your commander is incompetent, and that his men are like bears! I can't even do the most basic duty as a soldier! β
Luo Chen pointed to the black crowd below, extremely arrogant: "You guys...... It's just a bunch of rubbish! It's better to take off your armor and go home to farm, if you rely on you to protect your family and defend the country, my Great Xia would have been destroyed a long time ago! β
