Throughout history, not only the Han Dynasty, but also countless dynasties before, the Central Plains fought against the barbarians, and the historical summary of a sentence of mutual victory and defeat is completely putting money on one's own face.

In general, the Central Plains are at a disadvantage.

In particular, Zhongyuan still has a good face.

All kinds of desperation to save face and suffer, euphemistically called magnanimity, grace, and demeanor.

For example, if a war is lost, the Central Plains Dynasty will naturally cede land and pay compensation, bow their heads and profess their vassals, and even let the princess go to marry.

But there are times when you win.What was it like after winning?After the Central Plains won, a large sum of Chinese clothes, delicacies, gold, silver and jewels were sent to the "little brother" who had a different heart.

Therefore, the barbarians have never been afraid of fighting with the Central Plains Dynasty.Not to mention, in most cases, they can win; even if they lose in a small number of cases, they can still make a lot of money.

The grasslands can support only a limited number of people, and it is enough for the "warriors" who died in battle to be honored, and the remaining grasslands, cattle and sheep are naturally distributed to the living people like them.

Fighting against the Central Plains is a sure-fire deal.

Tu Hao didn't have this kind of measurement.As a businessman, he slapped his abacus on the table in a small meeting at home: "No, this account does not make sense. After two months of war, more than half of the treasury that had been saved for several years was suddenly emptied." , but also to send money and food to others? Who came up with the idea? Let him pay for it himself!"

It was said that it was a small meeting of the Tu family. In addition to the father and son of the Tu family, there was also the retired Grandpa Ye.Of course, even if Grandpa Ye retired, he was still the Duke of the country, and what he said still carried a lot of weight.Hearing what his grandson said, the old man clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "The little mouse is right. Not bad, not bad, I'm a fool for not studying." After speaking, he asked Xu Mingxu, "Qilang, do you think this makes sense?"

Xu Mingxu nodded with a smile: "My grandson also thinks it doesn't make sense. It is a gentleman's behavior to report grievances directly. The barbarians are provocative first, so they should compensate our losses."

When he said this, Mr. Xu, Mr. Butcher, and Mr. Zheng's traditional civil servants all frowned: "This is against the rules. I am a big country..."

"What a big country!" The person who spoke was Grandpa Zheng. The little old man spoke too hard, and directly sprayed out the "pearls" that he hadn't swallowed, and rolled them out on the light-colored tablecloth embroidered with plum patterns. Radial traces.

Aunt Zheng was not embarrassed at all, and cupped his hands towards Uncle Zhang who was sitting in the upper seat: "The old minister is rude."

But to be able to swear so directly, the only one present here is Aunt Zheng.He has a high seniority, and with the energy of the old Zheng family, Uncle Zhang has to be courteous.Even Mr. Xu, a holy fighter, would not beat him up.

Although the old man's behavior is inevitable from some aristocratic families, he is still very upright on the whole.When Aunt Zheng was young, he was also a fierce fighter.That is to say, now that he is older, he also has the intention of giving way to his children and grandchildren, so he seems a little out of touch with world affairs.

However, when encountering today's principled issues, the little old man still actively participated.

Uncle Zhang waved his hand and told Eunuch Li, who was the only one waiting in the house at the moment, to clean up, and said with a smile: "Biao uncle, why are you being so polite. We are all our own family today, and we don't need to use the tricks in the court. Go ahead." After he finished speaking, he grabbed a handful of pine nuts from the middle of the table and put them in front of his son.

A long table covered with a gorgeous tablecloth is filled with all kinds of dried fruits, fruits, snacks, snacks, and steaming goat milk and milk tea.The circle of people around did not seem to be holding any serious meeting at all, it was purely a tea party.

Of course Zhang Tuantuan understands his father's virtues, this is not for him to eat at all, but for him to peel it for his father to eat.He took a look at his father's stomach, peeled it decisively and stuffed it into his mouth.

Old Zheng's family is of course relatives of the emperor, and Zhang's family can be said to be intermarried from generation to generation.

Aunt Zheng cupped his hands again, and continued: "A few years ago, I forgot what the state treasury looked like? What did the common people look like? Why, after eating enough food for two years and wearing good clothes for two days, I feel that I have money, right?

Great country?The Rao River has not been treated yet, and the Shun River has just begun. Bandits are rampant in the territory. How many people do not have enough food and clothing?Everyone lives at the foot of the emperor, so the eyes can't see anywhere else?

How much money we have earned, can we spend it on our children?One or two want to spend money on those ambitious barbarians, can they wag our tails for us, or can they graze cattle and sheep for us? The little old man slapped the table angrily, "Bah!If you fatten them up, they will only bleed and cut our flesh! "

This war is undoubtedly a great victory, a victory that is enough to be remembered in history!

The little old man was very happy at first, but before the envoys of the barbarians came, a group of civil servants in the court called for rewards for the barbarians.The little old man was furious.In the court, because the emperor didn't say a word, he could bear not to say anything, but now in private, what can't he say?

I'm so mad, eat another cake!

The traditionalists were so scolded that they couldn't hold their heads up.

Speaking of which, these traditionalists, no matter how traditional they are, can they be more traditional than Grandpa Zheng?With Grandpa Zheng's attitude, those so-called traditional families who follow suit will naturally be shaken.

To put it bluntly, in today's so-called family meeting, Master Zhang actually wanted to unify his own opinions.

When Aunt Zheng got mad, he immediately suppressed all the different opinions.

General Feng, who had been silent all this time, also said with a smile: "What Mr. Zheng said is true. Let's think about how much compensation we should give to the casualties this time." Compared with the barbarians with wolfish ambitions, of course, their own family needs to be appeased first.

"Yes. Pensions first, and then the property lost in the war and repair costs..." Tu Mouse pulled back his abacus, "We have to calculate everything clearly." The pure gold abacus full of local tyrants, the beads are mutually There was a crisp and pleasant sound, "I look at the barbarians as if they were poor."

The butcher thought his son would stand on his side, so he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes. Fighting wars has nothing to do with the barbarians..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, his son glared at him viciously: "It's nothing to do with the common people of the barbarians. When the barbarians burned, killed and plundered my Han people, why didn't they think that fighting has nothing to do with the common people?"

This time, Yangman Pass was not breached, but two other gates were breached.It doesn't sound like much, but the loss caused by these two gaps to the people at the border...how can it be simply described by the word "loss"?

That's family ruin!

It's a mortal blood feud!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, he jumped up, stepped on the chair, raised his arms while holding the golden abacus, "Fuck them to death!"

Aunt Zheng responded positively: "Fuck them!" Then he sprayed the table with cake crumbs.The little old man was stunned, and immediately began to blame, "Little mouse, when uncle is eating, don't tease me, settle the score quickly."

"Oh."

This calculation is very heavy, even if Xu Mingxu has a full set of data here, it is impossible for him to calculate it in a short time.The butcher said he wanted to help.

Mao Nizi pushed his father and said: "Go away, I don't want you, traitor father!"

However, it is obviously impossible for them to calculate the compensation amount directly at a family meeting.Tu Hao calculated a rough figure, and finally said: "I think those barbarians don't have that much money. If they don't have money, they can just give cattle and sheep. If there are not enough cattle and sheep, horses are also fine. Speaking of it Last time I saw Wowoman's Wangcheng area was pretty good. Master, didn't you say you wanted to discuss it with them last time?"

Uncle Zhang, who was named, looked at a table of snacks that could be seen and could not be eaten, and nodded listlessly: "Huh. Tuantuan?"

Zhang Tuantuan was named, and continued to stare at his dishonest father without raising his head: "Don't worry, this time the discussion won't work, so let's discuss it a few more times."

This naval battle gave him great confidence.

The combat power displayed by the navy far exceeded his expectations, even beyond the expectations of Uncle Zhang and Grandpa Ye who were planning to build the navy.The addition of firearms can be regarded as a surprise.

It is undeniable that there are a lot of problems whether it is navy or firearms.The point is that fighting such a battle costs a lot of money.

The current military expenditures still do not include various scientific research expenses.Whether it is on warships or firearms, no one knows how much Tu Hao spent on research except Tu Hao.

Tu Hao didn't mention this matter, and they didn't talk about it, but they agreed.

Although strictly speaking, it is absolutely against the law to develop weapons in private.But what Tu Hao handed over was not a finished weapon, but just fireworks with "biased doses that could easily cause accidents".

And who did Tu Hao do this for?Is it for himself?Could it still be that he wants to rebel?

It's nothing to suspect Tu Hao, but his brain is broken.

Of course there is more than one small group like this.Uncle Zhang took his family members to sit there these days, or called people to the palace to have a heart-to-heart talk, and finally reached a consensus in the next court meeting.

"If you do something wrong, you must admit your mistake. If you have caused a loss, you must admit your punishment."

"Of course, our country of etiquette is still very reasonable. If there is no money to compensate for the loss, you can use cattle, sheep and horses to pay off the debt, or use land to pay off the debt. We don't choose~"

"The captives caught have names and surnames, and each one has a clearly marked price. If you have money, you can redeem it directly, and if you don't have money, we won't click it directly. They can work to pay off their debts. When they pay off their debts, they can get fat home~"

When the barbarian envoys entered the hall, they were completely stunned.

Fuck, this is different from what you said!

Didn't he just come here to present a letter of credence, call the emperor's father a few times, and then he can bring a long list of good things home?

Dahan, you have changed!
