My wife is number one in the world

"Your Majesty, I would rather sleep at home for a whole winter, not to mention that this is not just my own business, [-]%, otherwise I have no way to explain it to Guan Nei Hou. After all, the mine is the family business of Guan Nei Hou, and I can't do it." It’s just acting as a middleman, [-]% at most, otherwise there is really no talk.”

No matter how shrewd and wise the prince is, seeing his majestic father haggling with Young Master Liu like a businessman, he can't help but feel a little lost. Is the person sitting on the dragon chair full of philistinism really his father? ?

Li Zheng thought about it for a while: "Fifty percent, this is my final bottom line. You must know that not only the prince will take the risk of competing with the people for profit, but I will also inevitably be headache by the imperial censor. My face is worth [-] percent." It's not too much to count on the crown prince, right? If the talks fail like this, just like what Liu Aiqing said, it's a big deal to break up."

The [-]% profit was exactly the price in my heart before I came to the palace, but Liu Dashao couldn't be overjoyed, and sighed: "How dare you not give your majesty face, just according to what your majesty said, [-]% is [-]%, and I will fight it out." You have to give Your Majesty a face even if you earn money, in business, Your Highness, sign the contract."

First Young Master Liu took out a folded piece of rice paper from his bosom and put it in front of the somewhat dazed prince, with ink pads and a well-oiled brush: "Your Highness, just sign your name here."

"it is good."

The crown prince is still in a state of ignorance, and following what Young Master Liu said directly, what happened in the imperial study room today is too appalling.

Li Zheng thought about it for a while, and he might have been tricked by Liu Mingzhi. Who could have prepared the contract before everything was settled: before the word "slow" was said, Li Baiyu had already Flying around, he signed his name.

After wiping off the cinnabar ink pad in his hands, only the crown prince came to his senses, what the hell did I do.

Young Master Liu stuffed the contract into his arms with a smile on his face, and sighed, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I really don't make money, I just make hard money."

Li Zheng gave a wry smile helplessly. No matter how many intrigues he had seen in the court, when it came to business, he was still not as good as Young Master Liu, who was born as a son of a businessman.

"There is a specialization in the art industry, I am confused."

"Your Majesty, I will resign." First Young Master Liu got the result he wanted, knelt on the ground and was about to ask the emperor to resign.

Why don't you stay here? Sooner or later, you will be blackmailed by the emperor, a black-bellied guy.

"Wait a minute."

"Your Majesty, you still have orders."

Li Zheng pondered for a while and took out a memorial from the dragon case: "Liu Aiqing, this is the memorial from Yingzhou, Suzhou, take a look."

"Ah? Your Majesty, it's unreasonable for a subject to read the court's memorial before he is appointed as an official?"

"I let you see, who dares to have an opinion, didn't you say that you are willing to throw your blood and blood on my behalf? Why are you still shirking when you are used now?"

I'm just being polite and polite, how can you take it seriously? If something really happens, I'm guaranteed to leave [-] miles away and throw my head away?Sprinkle blood?Just kidding, okay?

Thinking this way in his heart, Young Master Liu didn't dare to say it, so he obediently picked up the memorial on the dragon case and looked through it.

It turned out to be the memorial of Song Qing's uncle Hu Guohou Zhang Kuang, which stated the things in Yingzhou, northern Xinjiang.

Compared with the Dalong Dynasty, the grassland is extremely cold. It turns out that the current grassland has already been covered with thick snow.

According to the spy report, many Turkic tribes froze to death due to the heavy snow. No one can resist the natural disaster, and the disasters suffered by each tribe vary in size.

What happened in the grassland, the northern border of the Dalong Dynasty was also uneasy, because when winter came, such natural disasters occurred in the grassland, and the Dalong would come to snatch the food for the winter in order to survive.

This kind of thing happens every year. Huguohou is afraid that the grassland will be seriously affected by the disaster this year. In order to survive, the Turks will be dispatched on a large scale to plunder the people in northern Xinjiang.

Therefore, I hope that the emperor can mobilize [-] guards guarding Suzhou and [-] guards guarding Fengzhou to support the defense of Yingzhou.

In addition, the Yingzhou soldiers still lack more than 3000 items, and they have to be shipped urgently. Otherwise, I am afraid that before the Turkic cavalry arrives, the Yingzhou soldiers will lose their combat effectiveness due to lack of winter clothes.

Right now, the national treasury is really short of money and food, otherwise Li Zheng would not agree to Mr. Liu's coal business. Incidents can be more difficult to deal with than Turkic harassment.

After carefully reading the contents of the memorial, Young Master Liu closed the memorial gently and frowned slightly. It can be seen that Dalong has experienced internal and external troubles this winter. The country is short of clothes and food, and natural disasters have occurred in Turkic. If you cross a stick, the situation facing Dalong will be even more severe.

Respectfully put the memorial on the dragon case: "Your Majesty, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled, how it was handled in previous years, and everything will be as usual this year?"

Li Zheng walked towards the gate with his hands behind his back: "How can it be so easy? In April this year, a large amount of money was allocated for locust disaster relief in Yanzhou, and a large amount of money was allocated for the drought in Jinzhou and Huizhou. If it weren't for Aiqing, your horseshoe solved the problem of replacing the horses. The problem is that a large amount of silver has been saved in the national treasury. The soldiers guarding the soil in Suzhou, Ganzhou, and Jeju can’t wear winter clothes. At present, there are still 500 million taels of silver and various rare treasures worth 300 million taels of silver left in the treasury. For emergency use, I have no silver in hand and no food in the treasury, so it is not so easy to resist the Turkic cavalry attacking the border, and it is difficult to add that the Jin Kingdom is eyeing the north."

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, I should be anxious to discuss this matter with civil and military officials, and I have nothing to do."

"It's sweltering in this hall, you two go out with me for a walk."

"It's Your Majesty."

"Yes, Father."

"I don't believe that Liu Jieyuan, who can retreat from the Turks with a single word, will be helpless. Your plan of twittering grace has made many ministers applaud. You have solved this matter for me. I am very close to your household department as an official. "

"To be an official?" Young Master Liu's eyes lit up, and he became a little dying again: "Your Majesty, I have an unreasonable idea, and I am afraid that all civil and military officials will not agree."

"Let's talk about it first. If it is a clever plan, I will naturally try my best to appease the officials."

"Your Majesty, there is a saying in the Art of War by Sun Tzu that the first is to attack the army, the second is to attack the diplomatic relations, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city. I believe that peace with the Turks must be the most important thing now. If you accumulate troops, you only need [-]% of the sea ships. As soon as the tax money arrives, His Majesty will be able to form a powerful new army immediately. When the time comes, the combination of six guards and horses will surely defeat the Turks. The Turkic royal family and the Kingdom of Jin are all younger brothers. The only strategy at the moment is peace."

"Liu Aiqing, what is your plan?"

"Dig deep, accumulate food widely, and develop the strength of Dalong to the greatest extent. As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and the strength of Turkic is gradually suppressed by means of commercial warfare. As long as Turkic is weakened, one will ebb and flow, and the time will come." , you can take down the Turks without any effort, and you will be ashamed."

A few thick black lines appeared on Li Zheng's forehead and looked at First Young Master Liu: "Speak humanly."

"Master Liu, you still haven't said how to solve the Turkic crime!" The crown prince reminded Young Master Liu not to digress.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that business should be used first to deal with the natural disasters of the Turks. If the commercial war is used well, it will be as powerful as a hundred thousand elite soldiers."

Li Zheng frowned slightly: "Sit down in the pavilion in front, and tell me what is going on with your business war?"

Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while and sorted out his thoughts: "Your Majesty, there are actually many ways of existing warfare, swords and soldiers are just one of them, and there are many other forms of warfare that the current Dalong does not have. But these wars have only one purpose in the end, and that is the interests of the Great Dragon, the people of the Great Dragon, and the territory of the Great Dragon, as well as its control and threat to foreign countries. All these things are based on the guarantee of the interests of the Great Dragon.”

"Master Liu, can you speak more generally, I don't understand much."

"Your Highness, the fundamental reason for the so-called war is to protect Dalong from being invaded by the Turkic Jin Kingdom. It is precisely because of this that the monarchs of all dynasties launched wars to expand and plunder. In the face of the interests of the country, nothing can To stop the advance of a rising nation is war."

Li Zheng frowned. Some of the words Young Master Liu said could be understood by him, while others couldn't: "Talk about the key points."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, let me tell you slowly. Just now I said that there are many forms of war. Most of the existing forms of war in our Dalong are based on sending troops to conquer. However, in my opinion, if a country's It is best not to implement this method when the military reserve is not very sufficient, which is why I do not recommend fighting with the Turks, but choose a commercial war."

"I understand the current situation of the national treasury, so I will follow your plan, and then talk about how to deal with it."

"Your Majesty is wise, this war is not only a military war, but also a diplomatic, economic, cultural and other forms of war. In the eyes of the minister, the military war is a last resort. It is also what the minister said. .”

Looking at Li Zheng and Liu Mingzhi, who were listening quietly, he said while thinking: "If the Turks meet with the Turks in the same way as in previous years, you attacking and defending will be difficult for both sides, and it will also give the Jin Kingdom a chance to take advantage of it. Longan has just started to recuperate, the treasury is difficult to support, and the rear is unstable, it is really not appropriate to use weapons rashly, otherwise His Majesty's efforts these years will be in vain, so I will talk about commercial wars."

"Prince, take a pen and paper, and write down everything Liu Aiqing said." Li Zheng asked the prince to record the conversation between the two, which has risen to the point where the monarch and his ministers are right.

"Your Majesty, the so-called commercial war is a war of a commercial nature. Your Majesty also knows that the most important thing in marching and fighting is food and grass. This is the reason why the three armies go first before using food and grass. In order to win a war, they often destroy the enemy's food and grass. These strategic materials are a type of economic warfare, either buying the enemy’s food and grass, or burning their food and grass.”

"Yes, once the enemy loses food and grass, the morale of the army will be shaken. If the morale of the army is shaken, they will often lose the battle."

"My Dalong has a vast territory, unlike the Turks where there are grasslands. They cannot grow crops and they all rely on grazing for a living. However, many things of our Dalong are indispensable to them. They cannot produce, but they have to pass Dalong's caravan buys from me, Dalong."
