Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Zhao He saw that Luo Chen had confirmed the approval of everyone present. To be honest, he was in a hurry now.

Zhao Xu, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at his son's expression and knew that Zhao He had no reason now.

At the same time, he felt that his son still had to practice. If Lin Yi was here, it would be Luo Chen who would have nothing to say.

However, Zhao Xu himself actually preferred Zhao Xi's opinion and continued to support Tokugawa Qingxi and Zheng Zaixu.

However, now that all civil and military officials in the dynasty support Luo Chen's proposal, Zhao Xu feels that Lin Yi still has to take action in this matter.

"By the way, where is Prince Rui? Why didn't I see Prince Rui today?"

Zhao Xu deliberately changed the topic and asked Wang Jinzhong on the side.

Zhao Xu didn't know why Lin Yi was hiding behind closed doors now. After all, under the current situation, Lin Yi's best choice is to stay behind closed doors.

When Zhao Xu thought of Lin Yi, he became angry again.

"I don't know who is talking behind your back. Don't let me find you out, or I will let you taste the rules left by our ancestors!"

Zhao Xu thought silently in his heart, and then glanced at Wang Jinzhong dissatisfied.

He suddenly felt that Wang Jinzhong, who was very capable in the past, seemed very unsatisfactory at this moment.

It's been a day and there's no news at all!

Somehow, Wang Jinzhong, who was standing nearby, suddenly felt that his man seemed to have murderous intentions towards him.

He couldn't help but shiver.

Zhao Xu withdrew his gaze from Wang Jinzhong and looked at Zhao He, who was extremely embarrassed.

"Xie'er, go find Yi'er and see what he thinks about this matter."

"Go and come back quickly. My lords and I are waiting for you here."

Zhao Xi, who originally didn't know what to do, suddenly smiled on his face when he heard Zhao Xu's words.

"Yes!" Zhao He responded and quickly ran towards the outside of the hall.

Luo Chen below saw Zhao Xu asking Zhao He to find Lin Yi, and his brows wrinkled slightly, but then he hid himself and acted like nothing happened.

Zhao He ran all the way to the palace gate, immediately mounted a war horse and headed towards Prince Rui's palace.

At this time, Lin Yi was still in his palace, sitting on a rocking chair, listening to Mu Guiying's opera in command on the stage in the courtyard.

Several maids from the royal palace were waiting on Lin Yi.

There was a maid behind him holding a parasol for him, a maid on his left fanning him, and another maid peeling fruit for him on his right.

As for his legs, he was lightly beaten by two other maids.

At this time, Lin Yi could be said to be extremely comfortable. He thinks this is life.

This kind of life was what his predecessor enjoyed every day. But he has never enjoyed it so much since he traveled through time.

Lin Yi just enjoyed the maids' clothes and listened to the show, feeling a little drowsy.

At this time, Lin Yi suddenly saw his housekeeper Lao Fang suddenly appear at the door of the yard, with a somewhat anxious look on his face.

Lin Yi slowly pulled his legs back from the maid's hands, then sat up straight and waved to the maids beside him.

Seeing Lin Yi's gesture, both the maid serving him and the actor on the stage stopped.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here." Lao Fang came to Lin Yi and said softly.

"Brother He is here? Shouldn't he be at the court meeting at this time? Why did he come to me?" Lin Yi was a little strange, but he still asked Lao Fang to bring Zhao He in.

Then, Lin Yi sat in the rocking chair and started thinking.

For Zhao He to come to him at this time, something must have happened at the court meeting, otherwise he would not have come to him for no reason.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi began to analyze what major events would happen in the court recently. After much deliberation, Lin Yi finally felt that it would probably be about supporting Zheng Zaixu and Tokugawa Qingxi.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt confident.

At this time, Zhao Xi stepped into the courtyard where Lin Yi was in a fit of rage.

Seeing Zhao Xi coming, Lin Yi waved to the maids around him, asking them to go down first.

The surrounding maids bowed to Lin Yi and quickly exited the courtyard.

"Brother, it's not good!" Zhao He shouted to Lin Yi as he watched the maids leave.

"What's wrong, Brother Xi? What's wrong?" Lin Yi looked at Zhao Xi's anxious look with a smile on his face.

"Brother, are you still laughing? That old man Luo Chen completely vetoed support for Zheng Zaixi and Tokugawa Qingxi in court today!"

"Brother Xie, don't talk nonsense. No matter what you say, Luo Chen is the crown prince and grand master and your teacher." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, sit down first and speak slowly, and I'll see what he said." Lin Yi pointed to a chair next to him and said.

Zhao He was not polite, he just sat down on the chair, and then told Lin Yi in detail what happened in the court today.

After listening to Zhao Xi's story, Lin Yi smiled again.

"I thought it was something, but this is it?" Lin Yi said with some disdain.

"Brother Xie, you, your uncle, and all the officials have fallen into Luo Chen's language trap."

"Language trap? What do you mean?" Zhao He looked confused.

"Come on, Brother Xie, let me analyze it for you. Did Luo Chen say that the empire's annual financial expenditure is about [-] million to [-] million imperial silver dollars?" Lin Yi asked.

When Zhao He heard Lin Yi's words, he nodded heavily.

"Brother Xie, to tell you the truth, Luo Chen's estimates are not accurate. Let me tell you, in fact, the empire's annual financial expenditure is definitely more than [-] million."

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet. Listen to what I have to say." Seeing that Zhao He was about to speak, he pressed Zhao He on the chair again.

"These expenditures include the construction of railways, minerals purchased from abroad, infrastructure construction in Daxia, and military salaries for officials and soldiers."

"He has calculated these, but what he has not calculated is the cost of sending overseas students, the cost of weapons research and development, the purchase of military factory supplies, raw materials and the wages of craftsmen."

"The most expensive items among them are research fees and the cost of sending overseas students. I preliminary estimate that these two costs may cost the empire at least [-] million imperial silver dollars every year."

"This is where the money is spent. It can be said that the money is flowing like water."

"Especially for research and development, it is very likely that millions of imperial silver dollars will be invested, and there will not even be a blister."

"Ah? Brother, wouldn't it be even less possible for us to provide support to Zheng Zaixu and Tokugawa Qingxi?" Zhao He looked depressed. When he heard Lin Yi's words, his heart was filled with unwillingness.
