Asuka Inoue was stunned. Now he understood why Li Pingan wanted to help him. It turned out to be for money and women!
Since he is a greedy and lustful person, then this matter will be much easier to handle!
Thinking of this, Inoue Asuka quickly said: "Back to Mr. Li, the foreign ministers brought a total of 6,660 kilograms of gold, 6,000 various gemstones, and 150 singers in addition. "
Li Ping'an's eyes lit up. It doesn't matter whether you have money or not. The main thing is the one hundred and fifty singers. Well, I will leave one hundred people for Brother Xun. I will accept the rest with a smile, hehehe.
He was happy in his heart, but Li Ping'an still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Just a little thing? That's very difficult to handle!"
Hearing this, Inoue Asuka suddenly became anxious and knelt down again and said: "Sir, our Ni country is a small country with poor products. We really can't produce anything good. Please help me, sir. I will be very grateful!" If the singer likes it, I will send someone a few hundred more after I return."
Li Ping'an hesitated for a moment, sighed and said: "Okay, because you are so sincere, I will help you this time. I will send someone to inform the prince of this matter soon, but can the prince agree? , I can’t guarantee it.”
"Thank you, sir. Your great kindness will be unforgettable by foreign ministers. I will definitely choose a good singer to send to you when I get back." Asuka Inoue burst into tears with gratitude, and she burst into tears for a while.
Looking at Inoue Asuka who was kowtowing like a fool, Li Ping'an sneered in his heart. He would never send anyone to report the matter to Yang Xun.
Before he came, Yang Xun had already told him how to face the Ni Kingdom envoy. The reason why he said this was just to reassure Inoue Asuka.
As for peace talks?
Oh, let’s talk about it. You, a stupid pig like you, will never be able to guess what the prince is thinking. Your little Ni country is just waiting to welcome the wrath of Beiyan’s army!
"Okay, you don't have to thank me. Send those singers you brought as soon as possible. When there is news, I will send someone to inform you!"
"Sir, I have another unwelcome request. My guards are in imperial robes..."
Before Asuka Inoue finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Ping'an: "Okay, I understand, I will let people let them go, you go back!"
"Thank you, sir!" Asuka Inoue bowed deeply to Li Pingan again before leaving.
"You damn boy, you talk a lot of bullshit!"
Li Ping'an cursed angrily and hurriedly ran towards the backyard, "Hey, madam, here I come!"
I followed Yang Xun on the expedition for more than a month, but he was exhausted.
Although a foreign meat was opened in the middle, although that muyu roe was a princess, it was just a thing that could be ridden by a thousand people.
It's baggy and not satisfying at all.
As the saying goes, a long break is better than a new marriage, no matter what, you should have a good time with Rushaya.
…
On the other side, Xing Daorong rushed to the Ministry of Household Affairs immediately and found Du Ruhui. At this time, Du Ruhui was discussing military expenditures with Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War. He heard that Yang Xun was building a shipyard and recruiting 150,000 coastal guards along the coast. Du Ruhui immediately raised objections.
Daqian’s treasury has just become abundant, but that’s not how the money is spent!
Seeing the defeat of King Pingnan, the army was about to regain the lost land in the south, but everyone knew that the south had been devastated by the barbarians.
When the time comes, reconstruction and immigration will require huge expenditures. How can the national treasury support it with this little money?
But Yu Qian's opinion was different from his.
Whether it is recruiting coastal guards or building shipyards, it can consolidate Daqian's coastal defenses and prevent threats from pirates and overseas countries, which is a good thing for the country and the people.
If there were coastal guards in Dagan before, would we still allow the Ni people to land casually?
If we don’t do these things now while the national treasury is abundant, will we do it again when there is no money?
As for the reconstruction of the South, it won't be decided for a while. We'll talk about it then. Anyway, there are so many corrupt officials in the DPRK and China, so if that doesn't work, we'll just kill a few more.
The two officials held different opinions, and they had a heated argument for a while, with their faces flushed.
Xing Daorong stood aside and felt embarrassed. He didn't want to start a fight or help, so he simply pulled up a small bench and sat down to eat melon seeds.
"Yu Qian, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Do you know how hard it is for me to save this money?" Du Ruhui said angrily.
"Bah, did you save that? Wasn't it all given to you by the prince?" Yu Qian said angrily.
"What do you know? The south has been slaughtered by barbarians. The money must be reserved for the people to rebuild their homes! What if there is not enough money by then?"
"The South hasn't been captured yet, so what do you want to do so early? Besides, there are constant wars in Daqian and there are enemies on all sides. If the money is not spent on military expenditures, why should we keep it as war reparations?"
"You..." Du Ruhui was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, Xing Daorong stood up: "Two adults, listen to me..."
But before he finished speaking, the two of them stared at him at the same time: "Shut up! Eat your melon seeds!"
Xing Daorong curled his lips in grievance and sat back again.
Yu Qian looked at Du Ruhui again and said, "Look, during this time, there have been more and more soldiers and horses, and wars have become more and more frequent. Are you ever short of money? Isn't there more and more money? Beiyan's gold mines, Qin and Qi Of the millions of coins in the Second Prince's house, which one was not robbed by soldiers? Naturally, the prince did this because of his plan. What do you mean by not giving me the money now? "
"I……"
Du Ruhui couldn't refute it for a moment, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll give it to you. Let's agree first that we will only give you 200,000 yuan."
Yu Qian's eyes widened: "If you recruit 150,000 people, you will give them 200,000. What about the people you send to beg for food? I'll stab you to death, you damn scholar! Five hundred thousand, not a penny less!"
"Aren't you also a scholar?"
…
At the same time, the barbarian army had been circling the mountains and forests for more than a month.
After Dong Yun escaped, Wutu immediately ordered the army to set off, intending to return to Nanman from Kangzhou. In order to prevent Jiang Wei's cavalry from catching up, he kept walking through the mountains and forests.
However, the mountains and forests were dense, and his two hundred thousand people were moving slowly in the mountains and forests. However, although Jiang Wei was chasing after them, they could not move faster, which made Utu feel relieved.
But just half a month ago, he was suddenly intercepted by a large army, led by the country prince Wu Qi.
He didn't know how many troops the opponent had, and he was afraid of being held back by the opponent, so he ordered not to fight and the entire army retreated.
It was precisely because of this retreat that his 200,000-strong army was in disarray and deviated from its original retreat route.
But he was chased and intercepted more than once. Whenever he looked in the right direction, he would be attacked by Jiang Wei's army, led by either Pan Feng or Wen Chou. As a result, he was still wandering around in the mountains and forests for a month.
But Pan Feng and Wen Chou's army were like ghosts, running away after fighting, and soon disappeared without a trace.
And Jiang Wei's army formed a fan shape, driving him deeper into the mountains and forests, seemingly deliberately trying to drive him somewhere.
Although Wutu was worried, he did not dare to fight Jiang Wei's army, let alone risk a breakout, because he knew very well that once he was held back by Jiang Wei's army, he would probably not be able to return to the Southern Barbarians.
