Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 129 Li Changfeng, highly praised by the ministers
Ten years ago, Li Changfeng kicked a ball to pieces, and now Li Ji, who was beaten half to death twice in a row, how dare he face Li Changfeng hard.

The old wounds on his body have not healed yet, his nose is still bruised and his face is swollen, he backed up and screamed: "What are you doing? This is Xuanzheng Palace, don't mess around!"

This time there was no great meritorious service, Li Changfeng was just scaring him, and he didn't really want to beat Li Ji.

Seeing Li Ji's appearance like this, Li Changfeng sneered and said, "No balls!"

Emperor Ganwu on the dragon chair saw his two sons so hopeless, with veins on his face showing anger, and wished he could get a good pumping.

Two trash!

Can't you see that Li Changfeng is scaring you?
At the same time, he was also a little annoyed with Li Changfeng.

Let me talk about the welfare lottery, what are you doing with these moths?
Emperor Qianwu's expression darkened immediately, and he said angrily: "You bastard, get down to business!"

Li Changfeng glared at the two of them coldly, then cupped his hands towards the officials, and said solemnly: "Everyone, there is an essential difference between the welfare lottery and the gambling house. The money earned by the gambling shop goes into private pockets, but the welfare What? All the money earned went to the treasury!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone showed a look of astonishment.

Then Li Changfeng explained to everyone in more detail what he had said to Emperor Qianwu that day.

He told everyone that half of the proceeds went to the national treasury. As for the other half of the proceeds, he did not elaborate, and directly said that it entered the prize pool and was used as operating funds.

After everyone listened to his statement, they were all overwhelmed by this novel concept that subverted everyone's common sense.

Gamblers benefit themselves, welfare lottery benefits the country.

Gambling houses can make gamblers bankrupt, and a welfare lottery ticket with two copper coins is impossible to bankrupt lottery players.

Just these two points are enough for everyone to find fault.

For a moment, the entire Xuanzheng Palace fell into silence.

The sixth prince Li Ji's face was ashen.

He thought it was a good opportunity to attack Li Changfeng, but he never thought that it was ordered by Emperor Qianwu. Just reprimanding Li Changfeng was equivalent to reprimanding Emperor Qianwu?
Didn't he plan to see them dog-eat-dog at the beginning, so why did he want to get revenge and step on Li Changhe?
Confused!
Second Prince Li Shou gritted his teeth.

No wonder my father suddenly ransacked the gambling house. I dare say it was your bad idea. Not to mention this prince suffered heavy losses, and was almost beaten to death. This matter is endless!

The First Prince Li Chengye had a proud face.

Neither he nor his supporters took the opportunity to make trouble, and they must have left a good impression on Li Changfeng, which will be easy to win over in the future.

It will also let Emperor Qianwu see his wisdom, and he will have more opportunities when choosing a candidate for the prince in the future.

After a brief silence, Murong Changkong stepped forward and praised: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince's whimsical ideas are really breathtaking. His Majesty's full support for this matter has added an income to the national treasury, and it is even more wise and powerful!"

After some compliments, Murong Changkong changed the subject and said, "Just the price of these two copper coins and one lottery ticket, can it really earn money for the treasury?"

As soon as this remark came out, Chen Dingyuan, the Minister of the Household Department who had endured it for a long time before Emperor Qianwu could speak, jumped out impatiently.

"Why don't you make money? It's too much money!"

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Chen Dingyuan first cupped his hands towards Emperor Qianwu and said, "Please forgive me for being rude, I really can't suppress the excitement in my heart!"

Emperor Ganwu smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, Chen Aiqing will continue."

Even he was surprised by the money handed in last night, and he really wanted to see how the courtiers reacted when they heard that number.

Chen Dingyuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then he straightened his back and his expression became excited.

"If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive firewood is. Do you know how difficult it is for me, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, to be in charge of the country's money and food? You need money in every aspect. Do you know how difficult it is to get money?"

"Treasury! The foundation of the country!"

"You all saw it during the flood in Shangzhou. If the national treasury is empty, it will be a major event that can shake the foundation of the country! If His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince did not try to turn the tide, have you ever thought about the current situation?"

Speaking of this, the faces of all the princes and ministers were a bit ugly.

Who doesn't know the treasury is empty?

Who doesn't know the importance of the treasury?
Isn't it about how much money you make? What are you talking about about the Ninth Prince's management of the flood in Shangzhou?
Is it necessary to question one sentence after another?
Simply inhuman!

Emperor Qianwu was different. Hearing Chen Dingyuan's words, he felt a little emotional. If it weren't for Li Changfeng, the current situation would be really unimaginable.

He subconsciously looked at Li Changfeng, but he saw Li Changfeng looking at Chen Dingyuan angrily, as if he felt a little disgusted and took him out to praise him.

Bastards!

Not happy with such a good thing?
Chen Dingyuan was still making a generous statement.

"If a war breaks out suddenly, have you ever thought about the consequences of emptying the national treasury?! All of you know how to ask for money. Who ever thought of making money for Daqian? You know the idea of ​​the Nine Princes Palace, which made money for the treasury yesterday. How much is it?"

Having said that, Chen Dingyuan paused for a moment, his expression became more excited, and he raised a finger.

"1 taels! To be precise, it is 260 taels! If you can earn so much money every day, will you worry about running out of money for the treasury?"

Hearing this number, everyone was taken aback.

More than 1 taels a day!
Simply incredible!
The eldest prince Li Chengye immediately came out, cupped his hands and said: "The Ninth Emperor Brother is really a great talent. This move can not only fill up my treasury, but also combat the trend of folk gambling. I admire you!"

As soon as Li Chengye started, there was a burst of flattery in the hall, everyone was praising Li Changfeng's brilliant idea and Emperor Qianwu's brilliance and martial arts.

Li Shou and Li Ji were dumb to eat Coptis chinensis and couldn't tell, so they had to follow the crowd to praise Li Changfeng and flatter Emperor Wu.

Emperor Qianwu was overjoyed, and after discussing some other matters, he announced his resignation and called Li Changfeng to the apse.

"It's done well." Emperor Qianwu laughed.

One day yesterday, he got more than 6000 to nearly 7000 taels of income, so he was naturally very happy.

"Are you still worried about my son's work? You just wait to collect the money properly." Li Changfeng said with a chuckle.

"It seems that you can't find the North!" Qianwu Emperor laughed and cursed, then changed the subject and said: "The matter of the lottery is over first, you haven't been to the Artillery Camp and the Firearm Camp for many days."

"Okay, okay, I see, can't I go right away?" Li Changfeng said helplessly.

"Not in a hurry." Emperor Ganwu stopped Li Changfeng, who was about to leave, and frowned slightly: "You are busy with lottery tickets these days, and I didn't ask. Running continuously...what about push-ups and sit-ups?"

Artillery and muskets were what Emperor Qianwu cared most about.

He would ask about the training progress report every day, and found it very difficult to understand Li Changfeng's training methods.

Li Changfeng didn't answer but asked instead: "Father, what do you think of the Thunder Cavalry under my son's command? How is it compared to the Imperial Forest Army?"

Emperor Qianwu had nothing to say immediately.

He knew how badly the Imperial Forest Army was beaten.

After saying this, Emperor Ganwu completely dispelled his doubts, waved his hands impatiently and said, "Go, I'm so angry that my chest hurts when I see you!"

Li Changfeng laughed loudly: "My son will retire now!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Emperor Qianwu looked at his back and couldn't help but smile.

This Jiuzi is really a living treasure.

However, his words seem to have some truth.

Emperor Ganwu didn't think much about it, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "If this training method is really effective, do you want to promote it in the whole army?"

Military promotion?

Gao Dali was taken aback.

This is a real big move!
This new method, which subverts the previous training method, has a high probability of causing a violent rebound from the military if it is promoted rashly before it produces particularly eye-catching results.

This seems like a trivial matter, but it actually negates the existing training system and will make many generals dissatisfied.

Gao Dali felt that this was inappropriate.

But Li Changfeng's favor is now strong, he can't just say no, so he used another method, showing a look of panic and said: "This matter has a lot to do with it, this old slave dare not speak nonsense!"

Seeing that Gao Dali didn't dare to speak directly, Emperor Qianwu realized that it was too early to consider this issue, and said in a low voice, "Let's wait until the effect is obvious."

Then he glared at Gao Dali.

"You crafty old thing!"

"..."

After leaving the palace and getting into the carriage, Li Changfeng began to plan his next plan against Li Shou.

Destroying Li Shou's gambling house is only the first step of his plan. Li Changfeng wants to completely cut off his source of income and make him a pauper.

Li Shou, who has always been aloof, would definitely not be able to accept this kind of huge gap. It would drive him into madness and make some desperate things, but he could take the opportunity to get rid of it.

In a blink of an eye, we came to the training ground of the Artillery Battalion and the Artillery Battalion.

Li Changfeng called everyone together and found that their skin had turned dark, and many of them even had peeling skin on their faces.

Although they looked embarrassed, everyone looked energetic, especially Li Jianye, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"It seems that Thunder Riders have practiced very well."

Li Changfeng nodded, and said indifferently: "I see that the new playground has been built. Let me run [-] laps first, and let me see your training results."

As soon as he finished speaking, the 2000 people responded in unison: "No!"

Then, under the command of Lei Qi's password, 2000 people entered the playground and ran at an alarming speed.

After half an hour, thirty laps were completed.

Many people were still out of breath, but the overall state and speed were much better than before, and the formation was not chaotic at all.

"not bad."

After making a brief comment, Li Changfeng said to Zhang Haihui who supervised the training here: "Organize a martial arts competition immediately, and assign military positions such as deputy battalion commander, company commander, and platoon commander according to the ranking of strength. There must be no fraud at all!"
