In the next few days, Xu Que began to disappear again.
Xuanyuan Wanrong was still in charge of the affairs of the palace.
The ministers who had been shocked by the good private treasury plan proposed by Xu Que did not have time to be happy for two days before they calmed down.
What Mingjun is back!
What kind of emperor finally knows how to govern the country
Pooh!
I haven't seen anyone in the morning for several days in a row. I'm still a fool!
However, Xu Que's private treasury strategy, under the joint control of several veteran officials, has already achieved great results in the country.
A huge amount of silver was quickly piled up in the private treasury like a snowball, and then part of it was distributed in the name of disaster relief.
The victims in famine areas received relief and were grateful to the royal family.
As for the national treasury, because of the existence of private treasury, the cash flow has been buffered, and there is no need to worry about running out of silver for the time being.
…
At this time, Xu Que was pestering the Minister of War, asking him to find someone for him.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I won't help you, but your idea is really..." The Minister of War hesitated for a long time and failed to say that sentence. It was really disrespectful.
Xu Que put on a serious face: "Master Chen, do you not believe me?"
"I would never dare, but... this is really not possible." The Minister of War quickly denied.
That’s right, I just don’t believe it!
You fucking suddenly asked me for three thousand elite soldiers, and you also said that you wanted to prepare for a rainy day and train soldiers and horses!
Nonsense!
Have you forgotten how you tricked people before
The Secretary of the Ministry of War still remembers this. A group of bandits who came from nowhere outside the imperial city were so bold that they actually occupied the mountain and became king.
Xu Que, who had just begun to pursue his dream, immediately approached the Minister of War to ask for someone to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits.
As a result, the bandits were not defeated, but he became a hostage.
Fortunately, the gang of bandits had some tricks up their sleeves and did not dare to fight directly. In the end, Xu Que had a chance to be rescued by a master.
If the bandits had been more stubborn at that time, Xu Que would have become the most humiliating emperor in the history of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Xu Que actually came to him to ask for people, saying that he wanted to implement an elite soldier policy and train an ultimate assault assassination team.
Oh my god, I'm so scared!
"Your Majesty, with your weak body, let alone training elite soldiers, I'm afraid you will get hurt yourself." The Minister of War had a cold face and was completely merciless.
Xu Que glanced at him and slowly walked to the courtyard of the Ministry of War.
The courtyard of the Ministry of War is different from that of the Ministry of Industry. All kinds of weapons are placed in it. In the center, there is even a bluestone specially used for experimenting with weapons.
When the Minister of War saw Xu Que walking over and making a punching gesture, he immediately started to panic: "Your Majesty, don't hit that bluestone. I was just talking casually. You can't possibly hit it..."
boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise drowned out all his subsequent words.
A small fist hit the bluestone hard, and time seemed to stop at this moment.
Whoosh!
The next second, the bluestone instantly cracked and turned into countless gravels flying around.
The Secretary of the Ministry of War was completely stunned. He didn't even notice that the stone passed over his face and brought out blood stains.
What did you see
That good-for-nothing, sickly king actually blew up the bluestone with one punch!
That is the bluestone that has been lying in the courtyard of the Ministry of War for ten years. It has been hacked by countless knives and axes, but it still cannot stand up!
When did this foolish king become so fierce
Although there is no way to redeem the skills for cultivating immortals, there are as many martial arts secrets as you need.
Whether it's internal Qigong or external Qigong, Xu Que only needs to redeem it and spend some show-off points to get himself to the top.
It only takes three seconds to become a martial arts master!
It's that fast!
Xu Que slowly exhaled, took back his right hand, and asked with a smile: "Master Shangshu, what do you think now?"
The Minister of War was stunned for a moment, ignoring the shock in his heart, and immediately responded: "With the emperor so majestic, why worry about the Eastern Tang Dynasty not being prosperous!"
"Your Majesty, please come this way. I will take you over to select as many people as you want. But Your Majesty, can you put your fist down first? Wei Chen looks so horrified..."
…
Another few days passed in a blink of an eye.
His Majesty the Emperor Xu Que, who had disappeared for several days, finally appeared in the hall.
He finally came to the morning court!
All the officials in the court looked indifferent, and the excitement in their hearts had long since faded away.
I thought His Majesty had come up with a good plan, which was to prepare for a strong return and regain control of state affairs.
Unexpectedly, this guy disappeared without a word for more than ten days and only appeared now.
What the hell is this
"My dear friends, is there anything you can do today?" Xu Que said, sitting on the dragon chair, somewhat uninterested.
He has been running around these days, relying on the six orders given by Xuanyuan Wanrong, and finally arranged what he wanted to do.
Although I had given the private treasury system before and shocked the officials with the pretentiousness I had gained, there was no problem in exchanging system products.
But just by using a good strategy, it is obvious that there is no way to gain the trust of the ministers.
Especially the old guy, Minister of the Ministry of War, who wanted to recruit people for himself, even saying that his mother, the Ministry of War, had recently laid off employees.
It’s simply disrespectful!
So even if everything was ready, it still took Xu Que a lot of effort to convince the six ministers.
After being imprisoned in cultivation and becoming a mortal, one must abide by the natural laws of the body.
At this time, Xu Que felt that he was sleepy to death and wished he could go back to sleep immediately. He sat on the dragon chair and yawned all the time.
Xuanyuan Wanrong glanced at him with a cold look.
After all, this kid is still looking so lazy and useless!
At this moment, a general suddenly stepped forward and began to play: "I have this memorial. Recently, the nomads at the border have frequently disturbed our borders and robbed the people. I would like to ask the emperor to send troops to drive out the nomads and promote the glory of the Eastern Tang Dynasty!"
"Oh, there's going to be a war, right? I'll give you soldiers and horses, let's fight." Xu Que was not very interested in these things and agreed casually.
The general looked embarrassed and muttered: "Well... Your Majesty, the troops and horses are here, but the military expenses for the war..."
Xu Que was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately came to his senses.
This guy is here to ask for money!
Before he could respond, Xuanyuan Wanrong said calmly: "This matter will be discussed later. Nowadays, there are natural disasters in the country, and we still need to develop stably. There is no extra silver for military needs."
The ministers also agreed one after another and deeply agreed.
Nowadays, the Eastern Tang Dynasty is in dire straits, the people's livelihood in the country is in decline, and it has just experienced a natural disaster, so it does need a long period of stable development.
As for the border nomads, they are not a big trouble in the first place, but expelling them requires a lot of silver to maintain the army, which is a money-burning job.
Xu Que suddenly became dissatisfied: "This is unreasonable, how can this be done? People are dancing on your grave, why don't you go out and give him two punches, hit them, push those nomads to the ground and beat them, let them know what It’s called strength!”
"Reckless man."
Xuanyuan Wanrong snorted coldly, "Waging a war wastes people and money, how can it be such a child's play?"
"If we don't fight, it will be even worse. In the future, if people invade the country and burn, kill, and loot, won't it be more wasteful for the people and money?" Xu Que said forcefully.
"Are you determined to fight?" Xuanyuan Wanrong raised her eyebrows coldly.
"Yes!" Xu Fang nodded.
"Okay, you can fight if you want, but the government will not give you half a penny of military expenditures, and you can't touch the private treasury and the state treasury!" After Xuanyuan Wanrong finished speaking, she stood up and left.
Dealing with the nomads is not a big war, but the army consumes easily one million taels of silver, which is not a small amount.
Xuanyuan Wanrong thought that by controlling the finances, Xu Que would recognize the reality and give up the idea.
However, Xu Que sat on the dragon chair with a smile, exuding a scornful aura: "Does a mere million taels of silver count as money?"
Remember, when I earned spiritual stones back then, I would have earned tens of millions of them, okay
