Chapter 438

"Liu Qing is here, please sit down without courtesy." Chongzhen waved his hands without knowing what was written on the imperial case.

In three days, the wound on Chongzhen's neck healed successfully, and he was able to get out of bed and move about except for the occasional pain.

Chongzhen seems to be in a good mood. He has been away from the capital for more than two months, and his body and mind are pure. He also regained the land lost by his brother, father, and grandfather.

"Your Majesty, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Liu Hongjian sat on the edge of the table with a small jar of wine in his hand.

The dishes on the table were still steaming, obviously Chongzhen hadn't touched his chopsticks yet.

"Oh? Let's tell the bad news first!" Chongzhen put down the pen in his hand, and Huang He immediately handed him a brocade handkerchief to wipe Chongzhen's hands.

"The bad news is...you're about to go bankrupt again!" Liu Hongjian said while pouring himself a glass of wine with a smile.

"Liu Qing is talking nonsense again, I still have at least 800 million taels of silver in my treasury, how can I go bankrupt!" Chongzhen thought Liu Hongjian was joking, and was not in a hurry.

The word bankruptcy is still fresh in Chongzhen's memory, um, it was taught by Liu Hongjian.

In this world, the only person in front of him who dares to play with him all day is the one in front of him.

"How dare I lie to the emperor, I will do the math for you. During this Northern Expedition, our Beijing camp and the frontier army dispatched a total of [-] troops. This does not include the frontier army recruits that Governor Huang later mobilized to garrison all the way." .

There are also more than 2 soldiers transporting supplies, as well as more than [-] Minzhuang, and more than [-] Dongjiang soldiers from Feng Zongbing. "

In ancient times, there was a fee for going to war. If you only count the total number, there are [-] to [-] soldiers dispatched, which is a small amount of money that can be ignored.

"Since we left Shanhaiguan Pass, fought all the way to Hetuala, and to Heiling in Changbai Mountain, our Ming soldiers have killed more than [-] enemies with testable corpses.

Our Ming army killed more than [-] in battle, including more than [-] frontier troops, more than [-] soldiers from the Beijing camp, and nearly [-] soldiers from the Allied Army in Dongjiang Town! "

Liu Hongjian counted the casualties for Chongzhen, but the frontier army and the Beijing camp were still within expectations, except for the casualties of the allied army. The casualties caused by the fearless black corps were too heavy for the allied army.

In that one charge alone, more than [-] Allied soldiers died under the guns of the Black Corps.

Killing one enemy is counted as 100 taels, and the compensation for one Ming army killed in battle is 500 taels, which is not counted as serious injuries and disabilities.

With these two items alone, the rewards and pensions that the Ming court will pay will reach a terrifying 540 million taels. If you don’t go bankrupt, who will go bankrupt?

Chongzhen was taken aback by what Liu Hongjian said in a few words, thinking carefully, Chongzhen's hand that had just picked up the chopsticks was put on the table again.

"It's all because the reward set by the minister was too high, which caused the emperor to go bankrupt." Liu Hongjian saw that Chongzhen was a little confused, so he quickly apologized with a smile, and took a drink from the wine cup after speaking.

Well, the old Cao's old wine tastes really good, Liu Hongjian praised in his heart.

He put a lot of good wine in the space of his ring long before he set out for the expedition, and in line with the virtue of thrift, he also threw away the finished wine jars in it.

In addition to the wine, there is also a lot of drinking water and bacon in the ring. Anyway, the food in this space will not deteriorate, and it will come in handy in case the sun goes down.

For example, when I went to see the unlucky Cao Sanxi today, Liu Hongjian made a big surprise on the spot, so there was this jar of good wine in front of Chongzhen and his wife.

"Give it to me!" Liu Hongjian's rhetoric did not have any effect. After all, if paying so much money could recover the lost land of the ancestors, even if it happened again, Chongzhen would still choose to give it to him.

Money can be earned when it is gone, and the country and the people are the foundation of everything.

It's just that he didn't expect that this war would cost so much.

Chongzhen is also a person who likes to drink two cups whenever he has nothing to do. Seeing that Liu Hongjian just drank for himself and didn't pour it for himself, he was a little dissatisfied.

"Wait, Your Majesty, you can't drink!" Liu Hongjian picked up the jar and was about to fill it up for Chongzhen, but suddenly withdrew and sat down again.

"Why? Liu Qing don't want to play around, I'm a little upset." Chongzhen's eyebrows were raised, and Liu Qing was not good at this except being lazy.

Always when he is more upset, the more dishonest he is.

"Among the medicines you've been taking for the past few days, there's a box of anti-inflammatory cephalosporin antibiotics. If you take this medicine, you can't drink alcohol!" As a top student in the medical school, Liu Hongjian is still very responsible and clear.

The action of cephalosporins and alcohol will produce a disulfiram reaction. It can be said that the combination of these two things is poisonous, or highly toxic, and will cause internal organ failure within 24 hours.

This is what it means to pair cephalosporin with wine.

"What about tomorrow?" Chongzhen now had no doubts in Liu Hongjian's medical skills. After all, it was a coincidence that he saved the crown prince for the first time. He must have been able to treat the lump a few days ago.

"Not tomorrow, at least seven days after stopping the cephalosporin before drinking alcohol." Liu Hongjian's two words made Chongzhen lose his temper.

Feeling depressed, Chongzhen picked up the chopsticks and picked up the chicken again, as if the meat was fine wine, and put it in his mouth.

"You bastard, you're still having fun, I'm really spoiling you, what's the good news?" Chongzhen raised his eyes and glared at Liu Hongjian and said.

"Hehe, the good news is that I caught a big tiger in Liaodong today!" Liu Hongjian poured another drink, still not forgetting to sip.

"Big tiger? How much silver is a tiger worth!" Seeing that the good news was a tiger, Chongzhen immediately quit. In Daming, although tigers are ferocious, they are not worth much.

"Your majesty, don't worry, this big tiger is not that big tiger." Liu Hongjian put down the wine cup and told Chongzhen about the great businessman Cao Sanxi.

Including Cao Sanxi's behavior in the Three Caves of the Rabbit, he made it clear to Chongzhen.

"What good news is that? His family property has already been transferred, so what's the use of arresting him?" Chongzhen felt that Liu Hongjian was just embarrassing him today, and the beard under his nose was raised.

"Our Ming Dynasty has a vast land and rich resources, and Ming people have always been attached to their homeland, but if there is a way, no one wants to die in a foreign country.

This Cao Sanxi is definitely reluctant to leave Daming. What I mean by this minister, we can discuss it with him. The emperor will not hold him accountable for being an enemy. As the price, he must pay money...

Of course, we just don't pursue it for the time being. Afterwards, hehe, what does the emperor think after seeing his performance? "Although Daming's coastline is long, given time and time for Daming's navy to practice, Liu Hongjian is still sure to kill the damned smugglers.

If Cao Sanxi really had a long-term vision, he would definitely not run away from Daming, which Liu Hongjian had already calculated on the road just now.

"Leave such trivial matters to Liu Qing and you." In terms of making money for the court, Liu Hongjian was second to none in the entire Ming Dynasty, and he was extremely measured every time, so Chongzhen would naturally not refuse.

"Also, I plan to be a teacher in the near future. I plan to burn all the slave palaces in Shenyang City. What do you think?"

 Thanks to the book friend for modifying the nickname and asking for 100 coins as a reward of 100 yuan.
