"Okay, go and do your work first!"
Liu Deng said nonchalantly with a smile on his lips.
"promise!"
Wu Guoxiang stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead before retreating.
He couldn't blame him for being afraid of this matter. He was the only son in his nephew's family, so he had been pampered since he was a child, so that this guy developed a lawless character.
The Wu family was originally from the Chu country, but his nephew accidentally injured someone. Fortunately, the family was a poor family, and his parents spent a lot of money to settle the matter.
After learning from the experience, his brother-in-law was helpless, so he wrote a letter and asked several old servants at home to bring this demon king to him.
I just arrived in Jinyang City the day before yesterday, but last night I got into a fight with someone in Jinyang City and injured someone. Moreover, I was captured on the spot by people from Tingwei Mansion.
In desperation, Wu Guoxiang also put his old face aside before pressing the matter.
Originally, Wu Guoxiang was still thinking about this matter. It would be over if the limelight was over, and he would just discipline him strictly in the future. However, he did not expect that Liu Deng would mention this matter directly and calmly today.
In any case, he was using public power for private use. Fortunately, Liu Deng didn't mean to blame him, but he could tell from Liu Deng's words that Liu Deng was warning him!
Originally, Wu Guoxiang's disciples had vaguely guessed that there should be a secret agency under Liu Deng's command to collect all kinds of information for Liu Deng in Jinyang City.
Wu Guoxiang was a little unconvinced at first, but now it seems that this rumor is true. If such an organization really exists, then the king's thoughts are really terrible...
Although Liu Deng didn't do much to deal with him, Wu Guoxiang was really getting more and more scared the more he thought about it, especially since several of his retainers had committed crimes before and were saved by using his privileges.
Although this matter has been in the past for a long time, it still has foundation after all.
I didn't take it seriously before. After all, it didn't matter if his high-ranking followers bullied a few common people.
But now it seems that these guards still need to clean up quickly, otherwise the wildfire may burn themselves.
This official has reached his current position and can be regarded as a high-ranking official in the country, even if he has never made any progress in his life. The lintel supporting the Wu family is enough.
But if something happens to me at this time, then half of my life's hard work will be in vain.
The more Wu Guoxiang thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he could only rush back to his house and ask his family to clean up the rest.
Even when he met Chen Qi when he was going out, he didn't have time to say hello. He looked completely lost. Even Chen Qi was a little surprised. What's wrong with Mr. Wu?
"Your Majesty, Master Neishi is here!"
Du Ziteng hurriedly called outside the door.
"Invite him in!"
Still without raising his head, he gave instructions casually.
"My lord, Chen Qi has met the king!"
Chen Qi was also used to Liu Deng's writing and drawing, and even had some expectations, because every time Liu Deng was busy writing and drawing, he would always come up with something novel, and these things often caught people's eyes. One light.
More importantly, every time he takes out something, it is a huge treasure.
From salt to glass, cement, plate armor, swords, and even crossbows, which one is not an important weapon of the country?
"Master Chen, do you know how many inns there are in our country?"
Liu Deng asked while writing and drawing.
"To tell you what the king is saying, there are a total of 352 large and small inns in my country. I just want to tell the king about these things!"
Liu Deng really didn't expect that Chen Qi actually knew how many inns there were in the entire Dai Kingdom. It seemed that he, as an internal historian, really did everything in detail.
And after hearing what Chen Qi said, Liu Deng simply stopped writing in his hand and looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.
"Reporting to your Majesty, most of the post horses used in this post station have worn out vests and are overwhelmed. This time I have replenished a lot of war horses on behalf of the country. Do you think I can divide some into post horses?"
Seeing Liu Deng stop writing in his hand, Chen Qi said quickly.
"Wait a minute, I didn't understand what you said about the vest being worn? What do you mean?"
Liu Deng was a little confused. It was okay to use these four words individually, but he really didn't understand what they meant when combined.
"Returning to your Majesty, the post horses have been used frequently in recent times. As a result, the soles of the feet of most of the stage horses have been worn out. I am afraid that they will not be able to use them in a short time. My plan is to eliminate a group of war horses from the army and then allocate funds. For their use, this matter has been reported to the Grand Tutor for a long time, but there has been no reply so far. It just so happened that the king asked about it today, and I want to ask the king what he meant!"
Chen Qi was a good guy, but the question he asked made Liu Deng a little dumbfounded. Is that all he talked about for a long time?
However, Liu Deng immediately reacted. If the country of Dai is like this now, is it also the same in the world?
If you put it this way, if you take the initiative to take over this burden now, you might be able to get it done at a very low price!
Moreover, as long as you can get this network into your hands, then the next public opinion war or currency war will be even more powerful!
"If we replace all the stagecoach horses, how many horses will we need? How much food will we need?"
Originally, Chen Qi thought that Liu Deng would just respond with a wave of his hand. After all, according to his plan, it actually didn't cost much.
But I didn't expect Liu Deng to actually ask the question thoroughly, and he looked very interested.
"Back to the king, if all the post horses are replaced, the cost will be huge. All the post stations, large and small, are added together. According to the 15 post horses for each post station, it will be nearly 5,000 war horses! "
After listening to what he said, Liu Deng finally had a rough idea. Just one country needed 5,000 war horses to maintain the expenses of the station.
If he took over the entire Han Dynasty, the loss of horses alone would be an astronomical figure.
Put it this way, as long as you accept this job, you will probably have this entire huge network in your pocket without spending a penny!
After all, the post horse does not need the high quality of the war horse, and the problem of vest wear, is this a big deal?
This is really a God-given opportunity. It seems that I can't wait any longer for this matter and must take action decisively!
If you don’t take what God has given you, you will suffer its chaos!
