Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 337: Why pretend to be generous?

"The power of heaven's punishment on the battlefield is far beyond our imagination. Tian Lai Xiao said"

Different from Li Yi's focus, Her Royal Highness is naturally not concerned about the envoys of Qi State who traveled thousands of miles. After arriving at the imperial city, the messengers who delivered the good news fainted due to fatigue. Under the treatment of the imperial physician, they had already died. Wake up and describe the battle between the two armies in detail.

The Qi State has a strong military force and borders the Jing State. For decades, there have been constant frictions. The Qi State soldiers are brave and good at fighting and have excellent weapons. On the battlefield, several lives of Jing State soldiers are exchanged for one Qi soldier's life. The strength of the Qi State, It was deeply engraved in the hearts of the people of Jingguo.

This is also the reason why Qi envoys and even Qi people can be arrogant and domineering in Jingguo.

However, the past was gone forever, and Jingguo, who had been weak for a long time, finally felt proud and proud.

Under the punishment of heaven, every city was destroyed, and no one was left alive within three feet. The horses lost control. The Qi army ran away with their heads in their hands, shouting for mercy from the gods. General Xu Dingyuan not only defeated the Qi army, but also pursued the victory and used the power of heaven's punishment to defeat two enemies in a row. The city was closed until there was insufficient food and grass, and then the troops were withdrawn and heavy troops were sent to guard the border. They would return to the court soon.

Before finding a way to break the natural punishment, Qi will definitely not act rashly again.

"Don't rely too much on Heaven's Punishment. After all, this is just an external force. After all, it still depends on the bravery of the soldiers and the excellent command of the general. If the other party also discovers the secret of Heaven's Punishment, the situation will only be worse." Li Yi reminded.

Li Mingzhu nodded, looked at him and asked: "The reason why we were able to win this time was because you played the most important role. What reward do you want?"

"I'm serious, I'm serious------If you really want a reward, just make anyone a duke. The reward shouldn't be too much. Thousands of taels of gold and thousands of hectares of fertile land---this is not enough. Share it?"

This time, Li Yi specially emphasized the tone of "ten thousand taels of gold" to prevent them from fooling him with another ten thousand copper coins.

Although being an official is hard work, sleeping later than a dog, getting up earlier than a chicken, and fighting to the death with all kinds of people, it is different to be a nobleman who only gets a salary and does not work. Now, you have a big house with a beautiful wife and beautiful concubines. You don’t have to work hard on your own, the country will help you realize it. Every day you just lie in the yard and bask in the sun and tease the little maids. When you have nothing to do, go to the brothel to listen to music and watch erotic dances. This is less How many years have you struggled?

Of course, after taking Ruyi over, the beautiful concubine probably shouldn’t even think about it. She probably wouldn’t agree. Even if she agreed, Miss Liu Er probably wouldn’t agree. When she woke up, she probably just married the beautiful concubine yesterday. I have to go to the well to find someone...

"Isn't it too much?" Her Royal Highness the Princess crossed her arms and looked at him and said: "Since the founding of the country, it has been difficult to get a title of nobility without military merit. Even if you want to get the title of a county boy, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. There are only a few princes in the country now. Sir? Ten thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand taels of silver. Do you know how much money was spent on this expedition? If I reward you twice more, the treasury will be empty. As for the thousands of hectares of fertile land, the prince's permanent field is only ten thousand acres. Do you think you can Can it be compared to ten princes?"

Li Yi looked at her with contempt. She was the one who took the initiative to ask him what reward he wanted. It seemed that he couldn't satisfy any of them, so how could he pretend to be generous?

Forget it, they could reward him as much as they wanted, they would just watch Li Xuan fly the kite.

Li Xuan is getting better and better at playing now. I don't know, he invited several mechanism masters from Zhaoli to participate in the development of the glider. In a few days, Li Yi, who had transformed this thing, couldn't even understand it. .

"There is definitely no need to think about the Duke. It is impossible for a small county captain without any title to become a first-class Duke in one step. There is no need to think about ten thousand taels of gold. Even if my father promised to the court, he would not agree. Thousands of hectares of fertile land is just a dream, how can there be so much fertile land for you------"

Li Yi rolled his eyes at the princess who was following him. He said, "I won't give it to you if you don't want it. Is it necessary to be so sarcastic?"

"However, all your contributions combined are not small. Father has clear rewards and punishments, and he will definitely not treat you badly. Be serious and don't always think about messing around with him." Seeing Li Yi's expression Li Mingzhu frowned and said absentmindedly.

Li Xuan said that he was also shot while lying down. He came over and said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean fooling around with me? I am also sharing the worries of Uncle Huang. Think about it, if they can fly higher, on the battlefield , isn’t he the best spy? Isn’t it clear at a glance how many troops, horses and supplies the opponent has, how many troops they are divided into, what the terrain is like, and where there are ambushes?”

In order to prove that he was not fooling around with him, Li Yi added: "Think about it, what would be the effect if our people flew over the enemy and dropped all the punishment they carried?"

We can look forward to having the most primitive bomber manufactured by Li Xuan in his lifetime.

As soon as she mentioned something that was beneficial to the country, Her Royal Highness the Princess immediately became serious and looked thoughtfully at the guard who could already fly over the treetops.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the State of Qi has been recuperating in Honglu Temple for a few days. After presenting the memorial, he is ready to leave the capital."

Emperor Jing didn't seem to hear Chang De's words. He was playing with a clay pot without a fuse in his hand and said, "It's a pity that I didn't see with my own eyes the scene when the soldiers of Jing State defeated the Qi army!"

"Xu Aiqing has made an indispensable contribution to this battle. He has been awarded the title of General of the Auxiliary State. When the army returns, I will personally go out to greet them and reward the three armies!"

A rare smile appeared on Changde's dead face. This victory is of great significance to Jingguo. His Majesty's long-cherished wish is to make Jingguo strong in his lifetime and no longer be bullied by foreign countries. Now it is also Finally the most important step has been taken.

With just this battle, His Majesty's prestige has greatly increased, and he can silence countless people in the court.

"Yan Aiqing reported today that the appearance of horseshoes has reduced our horse fees by as much as 60%. The Ministry of Punishments has also submitted an official document to vigorously promote the torture method in Anxi County. If this method can be implemented in all prefectures and counties, it can reduce the amount of horse fees. Many cruel officials; the Imperial Medical Office jointly signed a letter to claim credit for Li Yi, the captain of Anxi County. CPR and wound suturing skills have been used for a long time. They can save countless lives and are of great use on the battlefield; in the battle with Qi State, Without his "Heavenly Punishment", I'm afraid we would still be defeated, let alone seize the city and expand the land..." Emperor Jing murmured to himself, one by one, and he was very familiar with what Li Yi had done in the past six months.

"I can finally see that he is a unique soldier. When it comes to running the country, most people in the court are better than him, but no one can replace him in what he can do."

The smile on Old Chang De's face became even wider and he said: "Today is Mrs. Li's sixtieth birthday. That lazy boy wants to be as far away from Beijing as possible. Be careful of him running away."

Emperor Jing smiled and said, "I'm glad that I went to Qing'an Mansion, otherwise, how could I have gained so much..."

"Father, father..."

A crisp voice suddenly sounded from in front of the palace door, and a smiling figure ran in. The two guards behind him chased into the palace, their faces frightened. Just as they were about to kneel down to apologize, Emperor Jing waved his hand and said: "Okay, you guys Go down."

Then, he turned to look at the little girl in palace attire and asked, "Shou Ning, why are you free to come to my father today?"

"I just came here to see my father." The little girl giggled and ran over happily.
