Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Luo Binggong led the Jin Yiwei very efficiently. In just a few days, a detailed report on the country's attitude towards war bonds was reported.

After sorting it out, Luo Binggong returned to the palace and said: "After careful investigation by his subordinates, the veteran concluded the reason why the people did not actively buy bonds."

Lu Mou asked eagerly: "What is the reason?"

"People think it's unnecessary to buy bonds for the war."

Lu Mou was stunned: "Why is it not necessary?"

Luo Binggong explained in a dumbfounded manner: "After the last world war, we achieved a decisive victory. At this point, we publicized it according to the emperor's caliber."

"Yes, the purpose of such propaganda is to boost military morale, boost morale, and allow the people to live and work with peace of mind. Look at it, hasn't it been good in the past six months? The people have been actively working to make a living and working with peace of mind. In this year In autumn, there will definitely be another bumper harvest across the country.”

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about the harvest, but a huge problem has arisen here."

"what is the problem."

"During that war, we began to publicize that our Ming Dynasty was connected from the south to the north, with three armies of water, land and cavalry, and millions of soldiers, so we easily defeated many countries. The vitality of our enemy countries was severely damaged, and the country could be destroyed in a matter of days.

Therefore, the common people believe that the empire has millions of soldiers, and the enemy countries are all severely weakened and will be destroyed in a matter of days. So the current army is enough, so why expand the army and recruit more troops? Isn't that necessary? For this reason, there is an argument in the world that it is enough to stop resorting to militarism. Therefore, firstly, the people thought it was unnecessary, and secondly, they thought that although I could not dissuade the emperor from going militaristic, my not selling war bonds was a dissuasion in disguise. "

Lu Mou was dumbfounded. This logic seemed right.

This is really awesome. He put himself on the fire and flipped it, and he also flipped it until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

After sending Luo Binggong away, he summoned his injured friend Li Yan to discuss countermeasures.

After Lu Jian heard the cause and effect, he was silent in thought.

Lu Mou smiled bitterly: "If this continues, war bonds will no longer be issued. We will have to change war bonds into national bonds."

Li Yan heard this and firmly shook his head to reject it: "Your Majesty, you must not do it."

"why?"

"If the emperor does this and changes the name of the bonds, it is untrustworthy. It will make the world think that the emperor is trying to defraud people of their money. The consequences are quite serious.

Also, the reason why the people have so much confidence in our court is that they firmly believe that our finances are good. As long as military spending is reduced, we won't need to issue war bonds at all. It is your excessive military expenditures caused by your aggressive militarism. "

Lu Mou was shocked: "Then it's my fault -"

Li Yan pouted: "Who told you to brag so much in the first place?"

"Then it's your fault too. Why did you end the war so quickly? You promised to fight until October."

"If I didn't end the war so quickly, your hole would be even bigger. I actually saved you money."

"The money you saved was spent on my brother's business."

"Then it cost you less to ascend the throne?"

"Then you mean I shouldn't ascend the throne."

"That's right, isn't it good to be a regent?"

Then Li Yan knew that he was finished. This was really boring. Then he saw the emperor holding his little shoulders and smiling evilly at him.

Li Yan broke out in a cold sweat, and just when he was about to show his unruliness, he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Lu Mou waved his hand: "Forget it, you don't really mean it when you kneel down to me and beg for mercy. If we are bad friends and don't talk to each other, then one of us can't talk."

Li Yan was stunned again.

Lu Mou finally had to lament: "You'd better help me find a solution to the bond issuance problem. Alas - the people are short-sighted and don't know that powerful enemies are still on the side. This is really a life of worry and death of ease." The speaker has no intention, the listener has the intention . As soon as these words came out, Li Yan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Your problem needs to be solved by me, a bad friend."

Lu Mou seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw immediately: "Tell me, what can you do?"

Li Yan chuckled sinisterly: "Since the people of the world believe that our Ming Dynasty is invincible again. The current army is enough to fight against all the invincible enemies in the world. Since the people of the world believe that the enemies around us can be destroyed in an instant, they think that the war has ended Go far away, so we can enjoy the peace of the world, so why don’t we create a tense atmosphere?”

Lu Mou's mouth was so surprised that he could stuff an egg into it. He couldn't calm down for a long time: "What do you mean-"

"We can spread rumors to the outside world, saying that according to absolute intelligence, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still determined to destroy the Ming Dynasty. Li Chuang intends to counterattack Jiangnan. Zhang Xianzhong is unwilling to live in Sichuan and wants to counterattack the northwest. King Turghut of the Qing Dynasty wants to Going south to herd horses, North Korea wants our Liaodong Peninsula, and the Japanese pirates want to come back and occupy the Shandong Peninsula. They are about to form a stronger coalition again and use troops against our Ming Dynasty. Our Ming Dynasty will once again face a multi-national gang fight, and the country of the Ming Dynasty is once again in danger. The Han people will become slaves of these foreign races, and that’s the end of it.”

Lu Mou's mouth was so wide that he could fit a duck egg in it: "Is this also possible?"

"Absolutely."

"Aren't you afraid that once this rumor comes out, people all over the world will believe it to be true, causing people to panic again?"

"Are you prepared to solve the financial problem and sell bonds, or are you prepared to be driven to death by the finances?"

"I want to live, this is the concept that I have always fought for unswervingly."

"That's it."

"But I am an honest person and I don't want to deceive people. This is despicable and shameless."

"Just pretend it for me. We have been brothers for so many years. Is it because you don't know me or that I don't know you?"

Lu Mou touched his nose and laughed: "You are right."

"Besides, why are we deceiving the people? There are powerful enemies on the side, and knowledgeable people are worried. We have to use troops against these people anyway. Isn't this a fact?"

"If you say that, then I will have a balanced mentality." Then suddenly his face turned ferocious: "Since we have done this, let's do it right."

"What other cruel tricks do you have?"

"Come here, I'll tell you."

The heads of the two losers immediately touched each other. After muttering for a while, Li Yan's mouth could be filled with goose eggs: "Is this also possible?"

"Absolutely."

"When it comes to damaging moves, I will only obey you in the world, not the second person."

Lu Mou was very proud: "How about I become the emperor in the end instead of you?"

Li Yanwu knelt down in obeisance: "The Emperor is a saint, the Emperor is extremely wise, the Emperor is evil-hearted and ruthless, and I will never be inferior to you."

The bad friend was impressed, which made Lu Mou laugh proudly: "I'll leave this matter to you."

Li Yan was surprised: "How did this matter come into my hands?"

"Because according to the art of leadership, your suggestion is good. I will leave this matter to you. If it is done well, you will be rewarded. If it is done badly, you will take the blame."

"But--"

"Nothing but, only you and I know about this matter. Once the secret is leaked, I have absolute confidence that you have leaked the secret. At that time, who will take the blame if you don't take the blame? Could it be me, the fraternal and wise emperor? ?”

"minister--"

"That's it, you go and do your errands." Then Lu Mou directly issued an order and sent Li Yan away. (End of chapter)
