Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

But these are all three months later. Between now and the start of the war, all Jiang Li can do is to make adequate preparations to minimize all losses.

This is an inevitable war initiated by Liang Guo.

She couldn't explain to others how she knew it, let alone expose herself because of it.

So they will not have foreign aid, and the only thing she can do is to make more preparations and lead the Flame Army to achieve the greatest victory with the least casualties.

To prepare for a war, what she needed most was money.

She needs to prepare enough food and grass, and even better weapons and armor.

This will require a lot of money, and the quarter of the treasure Meng Chong contributed previously will be used here.

But it is estimated that it will not be enough, especially if you want to stock up on a lot of food, you will need to buy it from more places.

So I have to trouble Tan Zhiyu to do this.

Jiang Li sent a secret letter, and all he had to do was wait for news from her.

As for the money on hand, Jiang Peiyao went directly to purchase supplies.

As for weapons and armor, this is not something that can be made privately, let alone used in a war. If she makes it privately, people will be caught in a minute.

So she then wrote a letter and had it sent back to the capital to present to Emperor Qing.

The words were nothing more than crying for poverty, saying that the equipment of the Lieyan Army was so poor now, that he was willing to donate some money, just asking Emperor Qing to build a batch of new weapons and armor.

Of course, Emperor Qing would not be embarrassed to ask for her money, so Emperor Qing had to pay in the end.

As for whether he will agree? Absolutely.

Because Qin Jue and Yuchi Feng are both in the Lieyan Army now, as long as the two of them send back some news to Emperor Anqing in time, he will not be stingy.

At the same time, she also sent a letter to Mr. Lu, the Minister of War, the content of which was nothing more than her improved drawings of some weapons.

She didn't know much, but ancient technology was far behind modern times, and her little knowledge was enough to improve these things.

For example, large-scale destructive weapons such as trebuchets, cannonballs, and crossbows all have some mechanical principles, and she can modify them.

There is nothing to say about cold weapons such as swords. As long as the materials are good, these weapons can be used easily.

For these things, as long as Emperor Qing decrees that weapons should be made, Master Lu will deal with it, and the Flame Army will definitely get what she wants in the end.

After all these things were laid out in a few days, Jiang Li, who was in charge of the overall situation, seemed a little idle.

I have nothing to do, so why not take advantage of this time to attack Chu Junyi?

Otherwise, there would always be a pair of eyes staring at her in Donglin County, which would be annoying.

So on this day, Chu Jun was also listening to a play in the theater and met Jiang Li by chance.

Jiang Li looked at Chu Junyi with surprise on his face, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Chu? What a coincidence! Are you here to listen to the show too?"

Chu Junyi said with a meaningful expression, "It's quite a coincidence. I often come here to watch plays."

Anyone who knows him knows that he doesn't have any hobbies on weekdays. He just likes to come to this theater to listen to plays occasionally.

Therefore, it is not difficult to "encounter" him by just asking around a little.

Chu Jun also knew Jiang Li, and he had never heard that she liked to listen to operas. What's more, the surprised expression on her face at this time seemed a bit fake.

So he was very sure in his heart that listening to the show was fake, but coming to him was the real thing.

He was a little unclear about what Jiang Li wanted to do, so he didn't expose her at this time, but just followed her words and exchanged a few words with her.

Then Jiang Li raised his nose and said, "Master Chu, are you alone? How about we come together?"

Chu Junyi's smile froze for a moment, and then he said with a fake smile, "The princess is a married woman. I'm afraid it won't be good for others to watch the show with me, right?"

Jiang Li was particularly sincere, "What are you afraid of? Qin Jue is not in Donglin County!"

Chu Junyi:? ? ?

No, why does this sound weird?

Before he could think about it further, Jiang Li pulled him to sit down very quietly.

Chu Jun also hesitated for a moment, wondering whether it was better to drive people away.

That's all, let's see what she wants to do.

But in fact, Jiang Li did nothing at all.

She just sat quietly next to Chu Junyi and listened to the scene. Chu Junyi kept peeking at her from the corner of his eye. Except for noticing that she yawned a few times, he didn't do anything special.

This... is even more puzzling.

Chu Junyi had been thinking about Jiang Li, so he didn't listen to the play much.

Unexpectedly, when it was over, Jiang Li suddenly turned his head and looked at him, "What do you think of Mr. Chu's "Female Consort"?"

Jiang Li's unexpected question made Chu Jun confused.

What do you think? He was just paying attention to Jiang Li, so why was he interested in listening to the show?

Fortunately, he had watched the play "The Consort" many times before. Regardless of his singing skills, from an opera point of view, he could still tell something.

Then Chu Jun also smiled and said, "It's a very interesting story. Although the protagonist Feng Suzhen is a female, she is really admirable both for her true talents and her conduct."

Jiang Li nodded with a smile, "So, Mr. Chu also thinks that men and women are not the key factor in determining a person's ability?"

"Then do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing if women can also be officials?"

Chu Jun also frowned. He didn't expect that Jiang Li would get involved in government affairs when discussing a drama.

He calmly practiced Tai Chi and said, "I'm just a fourth-grade prefect. It's not my turn to worry about these things."

Jiang Li refused to let him get away with it, "It's just a chat, what are you afraid of?"

"Or... you actually despise women at all in your heart, but you are just embarrassed to say it in front of me?"

She looked easy to talk, but she stared at Chu Junyi without blinking. Even if he really thought so, it would be difficult for him to nod at this time.

After being stiff for a moment, he finally gave in and said, "Princess, you are overthinking it. Since I like listening to this drama, it means that I am not disgusted with it."

"It's just that important affairs of the government are not something you and I can discuss. To avoid getting into trouble, it's better not to say more."

Jiang Li said "Oh", "So you don't object, then if I propose to the father, I want an official to serve as an official, what do you think?"

Chu Junyi: "..."

He didn't think so.

The sweat on his head was breaking out, and he just wondered why Jiang Li just couldn't understand people's words?

He said he didn't want to discuss it, but she kept asking more and more questions.

At this time, the smile on his face could no longer be maintained, and he said with a smile, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
