This was the first time Amao had seen the general so disappointed.
Even when the national master died, the general could still try his best to find out the cause of the national master's death.
But now.
The general was not thinking about food and tea, and finally came to such a conclusion, which he really couldn't agree with.
"Master, when you were a general, if you encountered a battle and you knew that you would die if you advanced, would you still advance to kill the enemy?"
These words were like an arm suddenly appearing in the fog.
Dragging Descarnato out of the corner that had troubled him for most of the day.
As a general, he naturally knew what kind of combat situation Amao was talking about.
From the day they were built, some teams were suicide squads who sacrificed their lives to attract enemy firepower. Before those suicide squads set out, they knew that one or two people with a thousand people would not survive, so wouldn't they just do it?
No.
Descarnato patted the table and stood up.
"Prepare a sumptuous meal, and I will personally invite the Lord Loulan to come and drink the wine of peace to let go of today's worries."
Since Daxing has forced Ambassador Loulan into a dead end, his expression of goodwill to Ambassador Loulan at this time will only make the relationship between Loulan and Beidi even closer.
For the Loulan Kingdom, which has lost its reliance on Liuli's income, the market value of Daxing is gone. The talented people cannot win over the Daxing people, and the mines cannot be obtained. As Loulan's national power gradually weakens, it is very likely to be lost to the ambitious countries around it. annexation.
In addition, Loulan's environment is deteriorating day by day, with the oasis gradually turning into a desert, and survival is also facing threats.
at this time.
However, Loulan was asked to drain his family wealth and support Beidi in conquering the Daxing territory. When the time comes, the "bitter cold" land with fertile water and grass outside the Yumen Pass of Daxing will be assigned to Loulan Qianguo.
I believe Loulan will definitely agree to his proposal.
As for whether King Beidi will fulfill the covenant because of what he, the envoy, said after the matter is completed.
That will be discussed after the matter is completed.
Descartes had just stepped out of the door, and his head was still a little groggy because he hadn't eaten for the day.
Amao, who went to the kitchen to order food, suddenly came back with a note in his hand.
"Chief Envoy, the news sent from Prince Jin's Mansion must be encrypted and not allowed to spread. It should be a big deal."
Is there any other major event today than the Daxing Emperor who accidentally obtained 20 million taels of silver military expenditure?
Descarnato laughed at himself, opened the note, and almost broke his teeth when he saw the content on it.
"Ning! Wu! I'm sick!"
He squeezed out these three words through his teeth, and he was even more angry than when he heard about the death of the Imperial Master. Amao couldn't help but curiously glanced at the content on the note.
After reading.
Amao also had an expression of disbelief.
Is Ning Wuyan really a god?
The horseshoes he proposed were actually successfully trial-produced by the Ministry of Industry and are they ready to be presented to Emperor Daxing for acceptance? !
If I remember correctly, once these horseshoes are made, it seems to be able to extend the life of Daxing's horses and reduce the damage to their hoofs.
In this way, not only for commercial and civilian use, Daxing's transportation costs can be further reduced, but the goods recently produced by Daxing can be sold to farther places and make more money.
The key is that if it is applied to the cavalry, the horses of the Daxing Cavalry are not good at traveling long distances. Although it will not be solved from the root, it can increase the service life of the horses. If things go on like this, the Daxing Cavalry will become more capable. The number will be doubled.
"Chief, I'm going to verify this news right away!"
Amao volunteered and wanted to go to the Ministry of Works.
Descartes waved his hand, rejected his proposal, and gritted his teeth and said: "There is no need to test whether it will succeed or not. Emperor Daxing is eager to show the power of Daxing's army at this time to scare the countries in the Western Regions not to act rashly. If something happens, If there is any movement, we will get the news soon.”
Descartes did not say much.
Since the news was sent by Prince Jin's Mansion, it must not be wrong.
Horseshoes were really researched and developed by the Ministry of Industrial Development.
Instead of sending Amao to take risks, which is very likely to cost a general, it is better to... let nature take its course.
Thinking of this word, Descarnato felt extremely ironic.
If Daxing is really destiny, then who do they think Beidi is?
Born to live in a bitter cold land, with harsh conditions and harsh folk customs, it is impossible to live and work in peace and contentment like the Daxing people.
Daxing is a place favored by God, is Beidi a place abandoned by God?
If so.
He will not believe in this destiny!
Even if it is against the will of heaven, he has to drag Daxing into trouble and let the people of Daxing, who live and work in peace and contentment, know what kind of hard life they, the people of Beidi, live!
…
Shoukang Palace.
Zhou Gan people are in high spirits during happy events.
I also heard how Miss Jingxian dealt with those people from the Western Regions who wanted to cause trouble, causing those Western Regions people to lose face. So tonight I came here specifically to Concubine Jingxian to tell her what happened outside. .
I drank a tael of peace wine by the way.
Taking advantage of Jiu Jinzheng's warm relationship with Concubine Jing'an for a while, he was about to go to sleep, so that he could be up in the morning to once again strengthen the majestic image of Jingxian. As soon as he lay down, Su Peiyuan's soft call came from outside.
"Has your Majesty fallen asleep?"
"not yet."
Zhou Qian turned over and sat up.
Seeing that Imperial Concubine Jing was also about to sit up, ready to help him change, he stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders.
"You have cooked food and served wine, and you are tired of serving me for so long. Go to bed first, and I will go and find out if those people from the Western Regions are unwilling to repent and have caused other troubles. It has been a troubled time recently. This kind of I’m afraid there are many more cases.”
Faced with Zhou Qian's gentle words.
Imperial Concubine Jing was not polite to him, she nodded in agreement, yawned softly, shrank her head into the bed, and actually fell asleep as soon as she said she was going to sleep.
Zhou Qian was stunned by this. He wanted to laugh but was afraid of disturbing her sweet dream. He suppressed it until his face turned red and his neck became thick. He walked out of the inner room and went to the outer hall in casual clothes.
Su Peiyuan was startled when he saw his blushing face: "Your Majesty, you woke up too early at night and blew your breath?"
Why does it look like you have a cold?
"No...haha, it's Imperial Concubine Jing. I asked her to sleep, and she fell asleep. She was so at ease and had nothing to do. It really makes people want to laugh."
"..."
Su Peiyuan also didn't quite understand His Majesty's thoughts.
Concubine Jinghuang also had such a cheerful temper when she was young. Is it the first time that Your Majesty married the concubine?
Su Peiyuan rarely saw His Majesty pay so much attention to a woman's sleeping state. He actually didn't want to disturb His Majesty's interest, but when the matter was urgent, he could only get to the point and pull His Majesty out of the warm atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, just now Qin Shangshu sent an urgent message, saying that the horseshoes have been made. The craftsmen have figured out a way to make horseshoes quickly and efficiently. They have customized horseshoes for ten horses. After two days of trial, they are indeed as good as Ninghuang Merchant's. That means less wear and tear on the horses' hooves."
"Among these ten horses, five horses were specially selected with seriously worn hoofs. After trimming their feet and installing horseshoes, those horses can walk without any serious problems. It is expected that their service life will be increased by another three to five years. Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty ! Get this sharp weapon! From now on, Daxing’s horses no longer have to be reduced to horse meat because of missing hoofs!”
Zhou Qian was stunned.
He reached out and patted his forehead again.
Until I felt a slight pain and confirmed that I was not dreaming.
He finally couldn't hold it back and laughed loudly.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Why is Your Majesty so happy to laugh so loudly? My concubine is awake anyway, why don't you share it with me?"
