Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 139 Zhao Lingying's Touch, The Day of Breaking the Ground! 【Ask monthly ticket】

Another memorial?

Wei Yunyi next to him heard this sentence.

He didn't answer immediately, and walked to the bedroom with the other party.

Then he looked at Concubine Ying with a smile, and said softly: "Oh? Concubine Ai, tell me, what kind of memorial is embarrassing you?"

During this period of time, because he handed over all the matters of the memorial to Concubine Ying, he was very relaxed.

And the other party seems to be getting more and more comfortable, handling it very well.

There will be no major problems.

That's why.

Wei Yunyi understood that if Concubine Ying said she didn't know how to deal with the memorial, it must be a big deal.

It's just that he thinks again, isn't the biggest thing in the court now is that the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River go to Beijing to stop the reform.

It should be noted that I have already explained it before, and I can ignore it about the gentry and the reform.

The purpose is to make those people think that the emperor is vacillating about this matter.

In this way, the gentry will definitely continue to add fire.

It caused turmoil in the court.

Now, the other party said that there are memorials that cannot be processed.

In Wei Yunyi's view, this must have nothing to do with the Jiangnan gentry.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Concubine Ying immediately said, "It's the memorial presented by my concubine elder brother, saying that pirates have been active recently and have occupied several islands."

Pirates?

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi was taken aback.

Although there is no threat of foreign enemies in the coastal area.

But there are often pirates to harass, and the Great Wei has a vast territory, and there are many coastal areas.

Even if there are navy guards, it is impossible to take care of all the places.

Therefore, every once in a while, various coastal areas will be affected by disasters.

It's not that the court didn't think about it.

Mobilize the navy to wipe out and strangle those pirates in one fell swoop, so as to avoid worries.

However, due to the vast sea area, and the fact that the navy was established not long ago, and most of the court's energy was devoted to the northern border and other places, in this regard, it has not done so satisfactorily.

The most comprehensive solution I can think of is to move some people from the coast to the inland as much as possible.

In this way, the losses caused by the pirates when they landed can be effectively prevented.

But this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

Because of the coastal people.

Many people have lived from fishing for generations.

Now, the pirates are at it again, and they've taken over several islands.

Even Wei Yunyi can see that those people definitely have other goals, and maybe they will attack the coastal areas in the near future.

At this point in his thoughts, he thought for a while, and then said: "Let Zhao Jiguang patrol the coast, step up defenses, and train sailors at the same time, so as to prevent pirates from attacking."

Although he wants to curb the rise of national power now, the pirates are as ruthless as the prairie barbarians.

If they are allowed to go ashore, then many people will suffer.

Now Wei Yunyi can think of a solution for the time being.

Just stepping up vigilance.

At the same time, let Zhao Jiguang train the navy to be more powerful.

There is no need to drive out the pirates, the most important thing is to resist them.

It is enough to prevent the people from suffering life threats and losses.

"Yes."

"Brother is already working hard to train the sailors, and he said the results are not bad, but" Zhao Lingying said back, but at the end of the sentence, there was a little hesitation in her expression, and she didn't continue.

"But what?" Wei Yunyi became interested. As a noble concubine, she basically said everything.

He never hides it, but he hesitates when speaking today, which naturally makes him curious.

All gestures are good for the other party to speak directly, without any scruples.

After Zhao Lingying saw it, she didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my brother said that in recent years, the military pay of the navy is often not enough, even the garrison in some places is not as good as that, so I want to ask Your Majesty to increase the pay of the navy. "

"In addition, my brother also said that the most important thing for a navy is a sea-going ship, so I want to build a few sea-going ships while there is no war."

"In this way, when facing pirates in the future, my Great Wei Navy will have the power to fight back."

Increase the salary of the navy?
After Wei Yunyi heard it, he immediately fell into deep thought.

He knew that the establishment of the Great Wei Navy was not long ago, only a few decades at most.

Prior to this, in the face of pirate attacks, it was generally resisted by local troops.

Until later, the problem of pirates became more and more serious.

The imperial court began to formally form the navy.

However, after the establishment of the Navy, it did not cause much pain.

Because pirates do not attack every day, but appear at intervals and irregularly.

And this also caused that when there were no pirates, the navy had almost nothing to do except daily training.

In addition, there are prairie tribes in the north, and there are also foreign invasions in the south, and the tax revenue of the imperial court is limited, so the navy's military salaries have been cut since then, and it has been reduced every year since then.

Until now, with the same number of people, the navy's military salary is almost only one-fifth of that of the Zhenbeiguan garrison.

With these reasons, it is no wonder that the navy is not tyrannical.

of course.

Wei Yunyi didn't care about this.

Instead, Zhao Jiguang said that a new sea-going ship should be built.

At first, after hearing this, he felt a little wary in his heart.

After all, Wei Yunyi knew very well that if a country had powerful warships, it could become the overlord of a sea area.Then you can block other countries, and in this way, you can bring great benefits.

But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt that this was unlikely, because with the current ability of Wei, even if he built a warship, how far could he go?

Furthermore, my brother-in-law heard that this was the first time he saw the sea, and he had been defending the grassland army in the north before.

With the opponent's ability, can it really build a warship?
In this regard.

Wei Yunyi expressed doubts.

So after general consideration, he decided to agree to his brother-in-law's request.

First of all, it is not that simple to build a warship. Secondly, once the navy's military salary is increased, it means that the imperial court will be able to spend a huge amount of money.

It should be noted that because of the two major projects, the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts are almost empty.

If the salary of the navy is increased, it will be another burden.

It can consume national power again.

To put it simply, it is militarism on the other hand.

Of course, what Wei Yunyi thinks about is that if the navy is strong, it will be able to protect the safety of the coastal areas without fear of pirates.

Before that, the fundamental reason why he insisted that his brother-in-law had no military talent but insisted on leading the army was that Wei's military strength was very strong, and it wasn't just one or two incompetent generals who could influence him.

After all, there are other generals in the imperial court, such as Shenwuhou.

As long as it is not a defeat in the war, there will be no problem.

It can be expected.

This brother-in-law is too strong, he will destroy the country in one battle.

But now Wei Yunyi thinks that the navy is not strong enough, and if it is carefully trained and built, there will be no problem.

It can not only surround the safety of the people in the coastal areas, but also allow the court to spend an extra sum of money.

why not?

As for why Concubine Ying hesitated before.

In fact, the answer is very simple, after all, it is the other party's elder brother who asked for an increase in military pay this time.

If you say it directly, I'm afraid it's not good.

Immediately, he didn't think too much, looked at Concubine Ying with a smile, and said: "Okay, then follow the command of the Liao Town Commander and increase the salary of my Great Wei Navy."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhao Lingying's eyes lit up next to her, but she frowned quickly and said, "But your majesty, my concubine saw in the memorial that the construction of the Grand Canal and Wei Zhidao has already consumed a lot. of silver."

"If at this time, if the military salary of the navy is increased, will the pressure be too great for the court?"

She was originally happy that Wei Yunyi was able to increase the salary of the navy under the command of her brother.

But quickly thought, at this time.

If the military pay continues to increase, the Ministry of Households will simply not be able to bear it.

In this way, the pressure on the court will be even greater, which will eventually lead to various things happening.

In Zhao Lingying's thinking, His Majesty knew this, so according to the general situation, shouldn't His Majesty think more about it?Why did you agree so quickly?

She was puzzled by this.

But soon, Zhao Lingying's mind moved slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is a big matter. Your Majesty must not agree to my brother's request to increase the military salary for the navy just because of the concubine's reason!"

That's right, in Zhao Lingying's eyes at this moment, the reason why His Majesty agreed.

It's because you care too much about yourself.

After all, the matter of increasing military pay has a lot to do with it.

And Wei Yunyi next to him was stunned when he heard this sentence.

Because he completely understood what Concubine Ying was thinking.

Can't help but.

I wondered if I should justify myself.

But in the next moment, I felt that it seemed to be okay.

Just think about it, if you burdened the court because of a word from the concubine in the harem, and then spread the matter, wouldn't it be more worthy of the name of a faint king?
After thinking of this, Wei Yunyi suddenly became enlightened, then looked at Concubine Ying, and said softly: "It is a great thing to increase the salary of the navy to bring back the people along the coast. Besides, it is also for the sake of my beloved. , it's okay."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Lingying was stunned immediately, her expression changed from panic and hesitation to emotion.

Yes, it must be.

It is because of me that His Majesty agrees to brother's request.

Otherwise, why would you say that?

Zhao Lingying's heart is full of love, she just feels that the whole person is immersed in happiness.

When she first entered the palace, she thought that she would be trapped in this deep palace for the rest of her life.

But Your Majesty, let yourself read the memorial and do what you like.

Now, because of one sentence.

Instead, he chose to agree to increase the military pay.

Zhao Lingying was indeed moved, the joy in her heart could not be described in words, and finally she could only say: "Concubine, thank you Your Majesty."

At this moment, she felt that being able to be by His Majesty's side in this life is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.

"Aifei is like this, it's really strange."

Wei Yunyi smiled and said: "As long as my concubine is happy, I will be satisfied."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

Cui Guo next to him saw this.

I wonder if I should leave now.

But soon, Wei Yunyi said again: "Okay, concubine, let's decide this matter. It's still early, you continue to deal with the memorial. I still have some things to do, and I will come to see you in the evening."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Lingying nodded obediently upon hearing this.

then.

Wei Yunyi didn't stay for long.

Choose to go to the queen's bedroom for lunch, and then plan to return to the bedroom.

Because he could feel that since he took the seven Great Repayment Pills last time, after practicing for the past few days, he was on the verge of breaking through.

In addition, in a few days, the system will be settled, which is a good thing.

And in Jingde Palace.

The back view of Wei Yunyi, the king of Zhao Lingying, left, his face was full of satisfaction.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Cui Guo stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty has treated me, the Marquis Mansion, and the general very well."

A few days ago, because Song Hongzhi was conferred the title of Champion Marquis, she felt in her heart that His Majesty's importance to the Song family had already surpassed that of Marquis Shenwu's Mansion. Otherwise, why would he be conferred the title of Marquis directly as soon as he came up?
But now, hearing His Majesty's words directly increase the navy's budget because of the empress.

It is not difficult to find out from this.

Your Majesty is indeed very fond of your empress.

Moreover, isn't increasing the navy's budget a disguised form of supporting the general?
"Yes, Your Majesty has been so kind to me." Zhao Lingying also sighed at this moment: "Before, Your Majesty suppressed the Hou Mansion just to balance the power of the court. what."

"Look, isn't it the same as letting father lead the army and not punishing elder brother too much?"

She spoke softly, and when she mentioned Wei Yunyi, her eyes were full of love.

But soon, Zhao Lingying seemed to have thought of something, and immediately continued: "Your Majesty has treated me so favorably to the Marquis of Shenwu, and I must not disappoint His Majesty. I want to write a letter to my brother, and I must let him train the sailors well!"

"Just now the pirates are ready to move, I want my brother to make a great contribution and wipe out those pirates!"

After speaking, she no longer hesitated, turned around and started to write a letter.

Cuiguo didn't think there was anything wrong.

Followed directly.

at this time.

on the other side.

Wei Yunyi finished his lunch at the empress's place, and after inquiring about the other's physical condition, he came to the bedroom.

At the same time, he moved away from the left and right, and sat cross-legged on the bed, adjusting his breath.

The Emperor's Transformation Dragon Classic was not difficult for Wei Yunyi.

Because now there is only the next volume.

As for him, he has already reached the seventh rank of Martial Dao. For specific cultivation, he only needs to guide the power of Qi and blood, and operate according to a special method.

Now, Wei Yunyi faintly has a sign of a breakthrough after going through the last time to restore the power of the elixir, coupled with his own cultivation.

So now we have to go all out and break through directly!

And today, it was also the first time that he made a breakthrough without the assistance of medicine.

But in his heart, he is still very confident about it.

At this moment, he did not hesitate.

Immediately start to run the power of qi and blood in the body, and at the same time, start to break through the realm according to the method of the Emperor's Dragon Transformation Sutra.

Between the seventh and sixth ranks of martial arts, although there is only one realm difference, once you reach the sixth rank, it will be a complete change. The cultivation base of the sixth rank, even in the Jianghu, is still a master.

Now, everything is ready.
