My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 2257
Although First Young Master Liu sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, it made Fujino Ninghe and Sakai He feel instantly being targeted by hungry wolves.

The two shuddered uncontrollably, took a sneak peek at the situation in the palace, and found nothing amiss.

Feel it carefully again, it seems that there is nothing wrong.

The two muttered that it might be their own illusion, so they didn't take it to heart anymore, and secretly looked at First Young Master Liu who was sitting on the dragon chair.

This time they came to Dalong to worship, and both of them shouldered heavy responsibilities.

As for the important task entrusted by the head of the family and His Majesty the Emperor, whether it can be completed depends entirely on the young Dragon Emperor on the high dragon platform.

As long as he opens his mouth and agrees to reward his side with a large number of weapons and equipment, his side can completely end the chaotic situation of the North-South confrontation in the mainland.

Liu Mingzhi pulled his mind away from his little calculations, and stood up cheerfully.

"Dear envoys, I have read all your appeals in the letter of credence, and I understand them all.

These things are not trivial when they are said to be small, and they are nothing but trivial when they are said to be big.

However, it is related to the relationship between me and the kings and ministers. These matters need to be discussed in detail with the ministers before I can give you an answer.

In five days, I will let Wang Aiqing of Honglu Temple give you a satisfactory result.

During this period of time, you should live in the wing of Honglu Temple in a down-to-earth manner, and if you are really bored, go to the street to appreciate the customs and customs of my Dalong capital.

Buy some of my Dalong's specialties and bring them back to your king, and share them with your family.

I think they will be very moved. "

"The minister complies with the order, thank you His Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

Liu Mingzhi smiled warmly, and waved to the imperial guards standing aside, signaling him to send these envoys back to Honglu Temple.

"According to the order, the minister will leave."

After a group of envoys left, Liu Mingzhi walked towards the Dragon Terrace without hesitation.

"The memorials of all the ministers are still handed over to the cabinet, the three ministers of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry are left behind, and the minister of Honglu Temple is also left behind.

The rest of the ministers should go to the cabinet to handle their own affairs. "

"The minister waits to obey the order, and the minister waits to retire."

"Liu Song!"

"Master?"

"Find a place that won't attract attention, and bring someone to invite Sakai Ka, the envoy of the Sakai family of the Wa Kingdom, to the palace. Make sure not to attract the attention of Fujino Ninghe, another envoy of the Wa Kingdom."

"Yes, the little one retire."

"Four lovers, the palace is stuffy and depressing. Let's go to the imperial garden for a walk. I haven't come to the palace for a while. I think the scenery of the imperial garden is now a pleasant time."

"Follow the order, Your Majesty please!"

Liu Mingzhi walked towards the Dragon Terrace, picked up two national books and walked towards the apse first.

When Song Yu and the others saw this, they walked around Ting Zhu and followed.

In the wind viewing pavilion in the imperial garden, Liu Mingzhi looked at the surrounding scenery and nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that although he does not live in the palace, Xiao Chengzi did not slack off, leading the palace ladies and eunuchs to keep the imperial garden in good order.

"Your Majesty, drink tea!"

"Four adults drink tea!"

"Ok!"

"There is Mr. Lao!"

"Xiao Chengzi, go for a walk first, and try not to let others approach the Wind Pavilion!"

"Yes, let's leave!"

Liu Mingzhi sprinkled a handful of fish food into the lake.He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yuanming: "Old Jiang, has the second batch of food and grass for the Western Expedition Army left?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it has been five days since we set off, and we promise that the first batch of food and grass will be delivered to the soldiers of the army when they are almost consumed."

"I don't worry about your work, just set off!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Military Department, today is June [-]th.

The Western Expeditionary Army set off on March 28th. According to the speed of all the cavalry, it was almost time to go to Gumo Country in the Western Regions to join forces with Zhang Mo and the others.

Have you received a letter from the Generalissimo of the Left and Right Bing Ma recently?Where are we now? "

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Ministry of War received the Golden Eagle's letter two days ago, and now the Western Expeditionary Army has entered the territory of the Western Regions, and it will take five or ten days to enter the territory of Gumo.

Although the Western Expeditionary Army is full of cavalry, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the speed of both the horses and the soldiers' rushing on the road has been constrained.

Now that he is about to go to Gumo country to join forces at this time, he is already the elite of the elite.

The generals of the two armies and horses also hope to rush to Gumo country as quickly as possible, but they can't just rush to the country as soon as possible, risking dehydration or heat stroke for the soldiers of the army.

Both marshals hope His Majesty can understand.

The document is waiting in the cabinet to be approved and submitted to the Hall of Ten Kings for approval. Why don't the veterans fetch it for His Majesty to review now? "

"no need!"

Liu Mingzhi looked up at the scorching weather, and sighed faintly.

"Zhang Shuai, what Nangong Shuai said in his letter is correct, let the soldiers go out to fight against the thieves, instead of letting them go to die.

This kind of rapid march in excessive weather will kill people. We can't treat the lives of every soldier in the Western Expedition as a trifling matter!
After the documents are approved in the Hall of Ten Kings, they can be placed in the hall directly, and there is no need to reply to the letter.

If they don't receive a reply for a long time, they will understand what I mean. "

"Yes, Your Majesty Shengming!"

"I asked you to stay this time, apart from asking about the situation of the soldiers of the Western Expedition, there is another matter that needs to be discussed with you.

Let's take a look at the credentials of the two envoys of the Wa Kingdom on the stone table first. "

"The ministers obey the order."

The two shared a certificate of credentials, carefully read the content on it, and then exchanged it in turn. The four of them, Song Yu, had read all the contents of the two certificates of credentials within two cups of tea.

Young Master Liu picked up and patted the fish food residue on his hands, took a sip of herbal tea: "What do you want to say?"

Song Yu took another letter of credentials from Wang Hezheng, and put them back together: "Your Majesty, Japanese people really dare to open their mouths like a lion!
Sakai congratulates this party to wish to reward [-] swords and various weapons, [-] sets of armor, [-] bows and crossbows, and [-] arrows. .

Fujino Ninghe was even worse, with [-] swords of various types, [-] sets of armor, [-] bows and crossbows, [-] arrows, [-] bed crossbows, and even [-] cannons.

Why don't they die, and they are not afraid of dying.

It seems that when Hai Ninghou stationed troops in Nagasaki, Japan, as a cargo transfer station, the artillery and the power of the artillery in the hands of the garrison were seen by the king or spies of the Japanese country.

Otherwise, how would he know that our Dalong Dynasty would have such a weapon as artillery!
Even if they were to be rewarded, it would be absolutely impossible to reward them with so many armaments, and it is still possible to reduce them by [-]%.

Ordinary military equipment is okay, but artillery must not be circulated in the hands of overseas barbarians. "

Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly: "Uncle, why should I reward them, even if it is reduced to only [-]%, it is still a lot of expenses."

Song Yu looked at Liu Mingzhi's suddenly serious expression, and his heart skipped a beat, not knowing which sentence he said was wrong.

"The old minister is confused, but according to the usual practice, after the vassal state made them pay a large amount of tribute, in order to express His Majesty's favor to them, our court will return part of the reward according to their request.

The old minister didn't say anything against the rules! "

"I have no other intentions, uncle don't need to be nervous.

The statutes you mentioned were the rules in the past. Now that I am enthroned and proclaimed emperor, this statute must be changed in the future.

What do they want? I reward them with just a few nice compliments. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

It’s okay to return gifts, we are a nation of etiquette, and we really must pay attention to the rules of reciprocity.

But it must be what they want, not what they want.

A state of etiquette naturally pays attention to reciprocity, but in a state of etiquette, there is also the rule that guests do as they please. "

"Yes, yes, the old minister understands!"

"Old Jiang, how much money do we need to build all kinds of equipment, armor, bows and crossbows?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the accounts of various expenditures of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, the veteran has made several calculations.

All kinds of military equipment are spread out. A standard horizontal knife costs about [-] Wen, a pair of standard battle armor costs [-] Wen, a pair of horses costs [-] Wen, and a standard crossbow.
General-level weapons and armor have been turned out several times.

However, most of the generals' handy weapons are made by skilled craftsmen themselves, and the standard military equipment of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry is generally used as a spare.

This is after coal-smelting and steel-making. In the past, in order to forge [-]-smelting steel, more money was consumed!
However, plate armor is now widely poured, and the consumption of battle armor can save at least a thousand coins.

The veteran guessed that now that the entire army can be armored, apart from my big dragon, there is no other court in the world that can be so powerful! "

Liu Mingzhi made a rough calculation in his mind, and slapped the court pillar heavily.

"Damn it, just open your mouth and ask me for military equipment worth more than one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Fujino Ninghe was even closer to the reward of 25 taels of silver.

Do you really think of this young master as a big fool with a lot of money? "

Even if it is reduced by [-]%, and only [-]% is rewarded, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Wang He looked at First Young Master Liu with an inquiring gaze: "I don't know how Your Majesty plans to respond to the request from the two envoys of the Wa Kingdom? What do you plan to use to replace the request for military equipment?"

"Find some good-looking ones that we can't use, and those that are worthless, and reward them all, as much as they can pull!"

"The veteran understands, so the veteran will reject them in a subtle way?"

"Don't worry, the rewards are gone, but we can sell them!"
