Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

Its newly formed Ninth Army is even more capable of fighting against alien races—blood races with a one-to-one battle loss ratio, and it also has the puppetry of the top Matheson family in the human world. According to her The understanding is almost the same as that of a real person...

If such a country fights under the same conditions as Daxia, it may not be able to consume Daxia, but if it receives the support of the entire world of holy bishops, then it may not be so.

"So, we still have to find a way to keep them from going out."

Qin Ji came to this conclusion.

Hard to crack?Then don’t gnaw, labor and management come to eat the meat, tendons, and bone marrow of the bones. How many of those gnawing big bones have you seen really crushed the big bones and gnawed them down?

"This country is not easy to buy with money."

The body is too big, and if they want to buy them off, Daxia's bleeding will probably directly make Xia Yuxiao faint.

"Simple, if bribery doesn't work, let's talk about cooperation."

Cooperation must have common interests.

So, what are the common interests of these two countries that cannot go together?

Hey, it's naturally the church.

Chapter 81 Supper

"Your Majesty, you should rest."

At night, Liu Songyao held the decoction in her hand and brought it to Xia Yuxiao.

"Sleep later."

Xia Yuxiao yawned, then straightened up and drank the soup.Then she moved her body, sat down and continued to review the above documents.

This is a document about food adjustments, which involves possible future wars in Samanjan.According to Qin Ji's estimation, to deal with Samanjiang, it is best to directly mobilize the entire Red Kite Army to deal with it.

Recently, Qin Ji likes to use the Chiyuan Army very much. Although Qin Ji himself mainly controls the three old armies of Daxia, he will always try to get involved with the Chiyuan Army in the near future. His purpose is not hidden at all. of.

On the one hand, the Chiyuan Army is really easy to use. Although it is not as good as Qin Ji's own Tiger Army, Mountain Army, and Dingguo Army in terms of combat quality, it is extremely powerful in light cavalry.

On the other hand, the Red Kite Army is still under the emperor's command. Qin Ji is not a fool. How could he use the army under his control? Naturally, he wants to use the emperor's army.

Of course, Qin Ji himself had a third consideration—the Chiyuan Army was the first batch of troops to undergo reforms in the Great Xia. The equipment was updated, the proportion of practitioners was higher, and the military system was relatively simpler and more efficient.Qin Ji also wanted to see what kind of effect the new army could play. If the effect was good, it could be vigorously promoted in other troops in the future.

Originally, Xia Yuxiao didn't want to mobilize the Chi Yuan Army to participate in this war. She planned to transfer out the Feng Lin Army who had interfered the most with some ministers in the court.But after thinking about it carefully, I gave up this idea.

Releasing Feng Linjun could indeed weaken the control of some ministers and princes to a certain extent.But if this force is placed outside, it is very likely that some of the factional officers of the ministers of the DPRK and China will cause trouble.Therefore, it is good to place the Feng Lin army in the south.There are mostly small countries in the south, which cannot cause any big waves.

In the end, the Red Yuan Army was moved—a very important part of the reason was that she also hoped to test the effect of the reformed military system and equipment.

But now, what has to be done is to prepare for the war, that is, the transportation of food and grass.

At present, Daxia's country has just experienced the catastrophe in Hexi County, the main grain-producing area of ​​Daxia. Qin Ji's previous method of collecting surplus grain from the people has indeed added a lot of reserves to Daxia's granary, but some of it is used To solve the food shortage after the catastrophe in Hexi County, some of the remaining ones have to be reserved for emergencies.

The central granary cannot be moved, and the local granaries must have a surplus. Therefore, a part of the granaries in each locality can only be used as military rations.

This is not a difficult task, but it is a piecemeal job to coordinate and dispatch various places.

"Your Majesty, you should take a rest earlier, and don't rush for success." Liu Songyao suggested this.

"I want to rest, but can I rest?" Xia Yuxiao sighed, and then continued to deal with these things in her hands, "Okay, you go back to sleep first, I still have things to do."

"Forget it, Your Majesty, I'll wait until you sleep, in case you need someone."

Hearing Liu Songyao's words, Xia Yuxiao smiled, and then put down the pen in her hand: "Okay, you go to bed first, I'll be asleep in a while."

Liu Songyao was silent for a while, and could only obey.

Seeing Liu Songyao go into the small room next door - her own bedroom to sleep, Xia Yuxiao let out a sigh of relief.

It's really not a comfortable thing for someone to stare at her work and rest. Although she knows that the other party is thinking about her body, but... She doesn't want to slow down for a moment about Da Xia's affairs.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

She pushed open the door of her room, looked at the dragon guard who was guarding the door, and said:

"You guys go to Chunning Palace to see if the Taiwei ever went to sleep. Just look at the light on the Taiwei's side, don't disturb casually."

"Yes."

For the emperor's order, the dragon guards naturally obeyed, and one of the dragon guards immediately went outside to find out what happened in Chunning Palace.

At this point, Xia Yuxiao turned to another follower of the dragon guard: "Go to the dining room and tell the Taiguan Cheng over there to prepare some evening snacks. I want to eat some."

"I obey, but Your Majesty, what would you like to eat?"

"You can just find one of the few things you eat often. Make more."

Sui Longwei left, and there were two remaining guards at the door - Sui Longwei was on duty throughout the day, and each shift had to ensure that there were at least four Suilongwei in front of the door of His Majesty's room.

It didn't take long for the dining room to prepare a cage of crystal clear shrimp meat dumplings.

While eating, Xia Yuxiao continued to review the documents, approved a few notes on the memos confirming the route of the military rations, and then put down her chopsticks.

Can't eat anymore.

She didn't eat much herself, and after dinner, she wanted to have some supper at night simply because she was worried that she would be hungry before falling asleep and fill her stomach in advance.

At this moment, a dragon guard reported outside the door: "Your Majesty, this subordinate has gone to Chunning Palace to see the Taiwei."

"Oh, how?"

"The lights in Chunning Palace are brightly lit, there are people moving around, the Taiwei probably hasn't slept yet."

"Ugh......"

Sometimes this guy is very irritating, but to be honest, he is also really hardworking. Da Xia is not particularly stable at the bottom, and he has to deal with internal and external situations, and there are not enough people for those old guys and old slippery officials. Replacement, so a considerable part of the matter has to be suppressed by Qin Ji.

It's not easy for him either.

"I can't eat these, so send them to Chunning Palace." Xia Yuxiao covered the cage and pushed it forward, but after thinking about it, she felt something was wrong.

According to Qin Ji's physique, it is estimated that these two or three are not enough to eat, right?

"Forget it, you can trouble the dining room again, make another copy, and send it to the Taiwei."

.......................

At night, Qin Ji, who was about to go to bed, looked at the steaming cage of shrimp dumplings in front of him, and couldn't help showing an embarrassed expression.

The supper personally bestowed by His Majesty is indeed a great gift, but the problem is that he is going to sleep...

What Xia Yuxiao thought about how hard he worked lighting the lamp and cooking oil was not the case at all. He stayed up late purely because he had developed a habit in the previous world. Being a night owl, it was common for him to stay up until one or two o'clock in the morning.He is not staying up late working, but staying up late chatting with his sister.

Talk about things in this world.

This isn't work, it's just chatting and chatting. Qin Ji just finished chatting and was about to go to bed, when Long Wei came with shrimp dumplings.

No way, let's eat.

Qin Ji began to eat while thanking.The taste is good, but it is not necessary to eat it at this time.

I feel that Xia Yuxiao's attitude towards her has eased a lot recently, probably because of the drugging incident, or maybe the other party is really considering marriage and is trying to improve the relationship between the two parties.

Qin Ji doesn't know, but the current focus is to finish eating these things first, and then lie down on the bed and sleep with the quilt covered!

Chapter 82 Working Together

Advisor Cheng received His Majesty's edict today.

In the imperial decree, His Majesty ordered him to follow King An Qin Ji to handle the military and political affairs of Daxia from now on, and asked him to fulfill his duties and abide by the principles of being an official.

Advisor Cheng didn't hesitate at all about His Majesty's will. Anyway, he was working with King An. Although the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel last time, the personal relationship is a personal relationship, and business affairs are business affairs.

Since Cheng Cheng, his advisor, has obtained His Majesty's will, he should do what he should do well. As for the relationship with Qin Ji, that is not within the scope of his consideration. At worst, it is better not to interfere with each other.

With such thoughts in mind, Advisor Cheng stepped into Chunning Palace.

In the Chunning Palace in the early morning, there is an aura of singing birds and flowers. In the Chunning Palace, there are many small animals. These animals are running wildly in the yard, and a few birds bouncing around in the yard are also knocking on the door. The sound rang and flew up.

Consultant Cheng didn't waste too long knocking on the door. Soon, the door of Chunning Palace opened, and a short-haired woman greeted him.

She was wearing a black bodyguard uniform with exquisite patterns but clean and neat, with a ring knife on her waist, and looked at him:

"Is it Gu Shilang?"

"Exactly, by His Majesty's order, come to discuss work-related matters with His Highness King An."

Advisor Cheng said calmly.

Of course he knew this woman, the guard who was from the Demon Cult next to King An.

However, today he didn't come to find fault, and up to now, this person named Lingyan hasn't done anything unconscionable, so there is no need to have any conflicts with her again.

"The young master is already waiting inside."

"Ah."

Master?He is already King An, why is the guard still calling him Young Master?

With such doubts, the consultant Cheng stepped into the study.

"Gu Shilang, are you here?"

Qin Ji was sitting in the study room reading a book, when he saw the consultant Cheng coming in, he didn't show the angry look he had seen in the hall before, as if he was seeing him for the first time, he politely pointed to the seat in front of the book case .

"According to His Majesty's decree, I come to assist His Highness King An, what orders does His Highness have?"

Adviser Cheng got straight to the point. He was ready. If His Royal Highness King An, who was about the same age as himself, deliberately made things difficult for him, as long as it didn't insult his personality and ask him to do something unethical, he would accept it.

Take it as an experience.

"Oh, there is really something I need you to do right now." Qin Ji looked at the vigilant expression of the young man in front of him, and didn't pay much attention to it. The imperial court now needs a batch of grain and grass to support the army. At present, it has already allocated part of the grain from the counties and counties, and if there is still some shortage, it will be supplemented from here."

"Requisition for food? But, it's not time to collect food yet..."

Consultant Cheng's complexion suddenly turned ugly.

It's not that he can't do this job, the main thing is that the grain collection is usually sent to collect grain or tax during the grain harvest season, but now it's not the time to harvest grain, how can we collect grain now? Woolen cloth?In this season, where do the people go to get food?The new food didn't come down again.

"Isn't there a lot of surplus food among the people? I think just a few big families in Hexi County have a lot of food at home. During the disaster in Hexi County, individual officials in Hexi County have always had to eat and drink. See Wake up, there is a lot of food."

Qin Ji sneered and said.

The matter of raising grain and grass was originally not something that Qin Ji should be responsible for. Moreover, according to Qin Ji's estimation, the grain drawn from the granaries in various places is actually enough.

But Qin Ji just wants to squeeze some people's small granary.
