Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

At first, Qian Yi didn't understand Lin Yi's proposal, but after listening to Lin Yi's statement, Qian Yi felt that it was not impossible to improve people's social welfare benefits.

He also made careful calculations. According to Lin Yi, although the farmers' taxes were exempted, the empire's finances could be replenished from other places, which was not bad.

In particular, after understanding social insurance, he felt that there was a lot of room for manipulation.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't think about being greedy or anything. He just felt that if he strictly controlled the insurance reimbursement process, it would be possible to save a lot of money.

Therefore, Qian Yi planned carefully after returning home to see how to control the details.

Lin Yi looked at Qian Yi thinking secretly, and he knew what Qian Yi was thinking.

Lin Yi was quite speechless about Qian Yi's character of only getting in but not getting out.

This little old man really kept the empire's money bag tight.

However, now that Qian Yi can agree to go back and give it a try, Lin Yi thinks it's okay.

He didn't expect Qian Yi to agree on the spot.

Zhao Xu sat in a high position, watching the argument between Lin Yi and Qian Yi, with a faint smile hanging on his lips.

In recent years, his health has deteriorated day by day.

The root causes of the disease that were left behind when I was young are becoming more and more obvious as I get older.

Zhao Xu could already feel that his end was approaching.

However, Zhao Xu was quite open-minded about this matter. He felt that birth, old age, illness and death were all normal. He was not afraid of death like those emperors in ancient times.

The only thing he couldn't worry about was the future of the empire.

However, for now, he is relieved that the empire has a qualified heir.

"My lords, since we have no objections to exempting agricultural taxes and improving people's social welfare, let's choose a province as a pilot and give it a try first."

"In addition, regarding peace talks with European countries, the Kaiser's opinion is that he hopes that all participating countries can gather in Europa and then sit down and talk together."

"What do you think about this matter?" Zhao Xu coughed twice, then looked at everyone and asked.

At this time, the war in Europe basically ceased.

Although Gaul wanted a truce and did not tell John's Empire, the people of John's Empire were not stupid either.

Seeing that Paris had been besieged for almost a month, but not a single cannonball fell into the city of Paris, the John Empire guessed that the Gauls had abandoned them again and were negotiating peace with the Hans Empire.

Even if the John Empire was dissatisfied with the surrender of the Gallic Empire and wanted peace talks, there was nothing he could do. It was impossible for the John Empire to challenge the entire Allied Powers with its own power.

Therefore, the John Empire cabinet could only grit their teeth and agree to negotiate a truce with the Hans Empire.

Even if the main participating countries on both sides are preparing for armistice negotiations, there will be no need to continue the war.

However, since we want to negotiate, and it is about such a world-class war, Europe hopes that everyone will sit down together and talk slowly.

Instead of just letting diplomats talk like before.

After all, these diplomats are, to put it bluntly, just a sounding board, and they cannot decide anything. This wastes too much time.

Therefore, William II proposed that everyone gather in Europe and sit down and talk slowly.

Countries are still hesitant about William II's proposal, because there is no precedent for this kind of thing before.

At most, the diplomats are done talking, and the people who can make the final decision come forward to sign.

Using the usual thinking in Europe, they felt that this was in line with the aristocratic style.

However, as the founder of the Allied Powers, the Hans Empire, William II still had a lot of say.

Since he has made it clear that he hopes that the heads of state will sit down and talk, everyone has no choice but to give William II face.

"Your Majesty, I think this is feasible."

As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, Lin Yi took the initiative to speak.

He actually felt that the discussion should be left to someone who could make the decision, so that if anything happened, it could be decided on the spot.

It's not like using a diplomat, who can't take charge of anything and has to ask for instructions on everything.

Doing this would waste too much time.

After hearing what Lin Yi said, the ministers present also felt that it made sense, but they also felt that Zhao Xu should not go to Europe easily.

According to the thinking of these ministers, the emperor should stay in the palace. It would be a waste of money for the emperor to go on tour.

As for visiting incognito, that is a plot that can only be found in dramas.

Therefore, the opinion of the ministers is that the emperor cannot go out and can send a powerful prince, such as Prince Rui.

Anyway, Prince Rui's ability has been noticed by ministers over the years. They all feel that without Prince Rui's guidance behind the scenes, the empire cannot reach its current level.

In addition, Prince Rui has the emperor's trust, so it is most appropriate for him to go.

So, someone stood up on the spot. Li Weitang, the newly appointed chief minister of the cabinet, said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, I believe that as a king, you should sit firmly in the country to control the country's destiny and not to move lightly."

"Besides, Europa is thousands of miles away from Daxia. A round trip takes more than a month. If the king cannot rule the country for such a long time, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Zhao Xu nodded slightly when he heard Li Weitang's words. He also felt that what Li Weitang said made sense.

Besides, he knew very well about his own body. If he was really allowed to drift at sea for a month, he would probably not be able to negotiate after he got there.

"Then how about the prince going?" Zhao Xu looked at Li Weitang and asked.

"Your Majesty, the prince is the prince, and the prince is also the king. Therefore, I also think that it is best for the prince not to go." Li Weitang shook his head and said to Zhao Xu.

"Who do you think Li Qing should let go? Or should the empire not send anyone for this peace negotiation?"

Zhao Xu looked at Li Weitang and asked. He was now a little unsure about what the chief minister of the cabinet who had been promoted by him meant.

"Your Majesty, I think Prince Rui is suitable."

Having said this, Li Weitang turned his head and glanced at Lin Yi.

When Lin Yi heard Li Weitang mentioning himself, he also lowered his head and thought for a moment. It seemed that in the whole of Daxia, he was really suitable for going to Europe.

First of all, Lin Yi is not an emperor, just a prince.

Although it is said that Daxia has developed like this because of his contribution, and the ministers are aware of this, the people below do not know it.

Those common people recognized Zhao Xu as the emperor.

As long as the emperor Zhao Xu is in Daxia, there will be no chaos in Daxia.

As for other dynasties, if the minister suggested that a prince with real power go out, then the prince with real power would still worry about whether the emperor was going to attack him and take away his power.

However, with Lin Yi, he had no such worries.

As for the reason, Lin Yi didn't worry about his uncle's family taking over his power, because he had already handed over the command of Ying Long Army and Long Xiang Army. What power is he afraid of seizing?

Besides, he finally understood Zhao Xu, father and son, and both of them wanted to pass the blame on him.

Seize power? It is impossible to seize power.

As long as Zhao Xu is still the emperor and Zhao Xi is still the prince in Daxia, it is impossible for him to be killed.

Therefore, without any worries, Li Weitang's proposal to go to Europe by himself is indeed the most suitable.
