Chapter 129 Li Changfeng, highly praised by the officials
Chapter 129 Li Changfeng, who has been praised by ministers
A ball was kicked by Li Changfeng ten years ago, and now Li Ji, who has been beaten to death twice in a row, wouldn't he dare to face Li Changfeng's head?
His old injuries were not healed yet, and he was still bruised and swollen. He stepped back and screamed, "What are you doing? This is Xuanzheng Palace, don't do it nonsense!"
This time, Li Changfeng just scared him and did not really want to beat Li Ji.
Seeing Li Ji like this, Li Changfeng sneered: "It's something that has no eggs!"
Emperor Gan Wu on the dragon throne saw that his two sons were so unpromising, and his face was so angry that his blue veins were exposed, and he wished he could beat him hard.
Two wastes!
Can't you tell that Li Changfeng is scaring you?
At the same time, he was also a little angry with Li Changfeng.
Let me talk about welfare lottery, why are you doing these tricks?
Emperor Gan Wu's face immediately darkened and he said angrily: "Damn it, talk about serious matters!"
Li Changfeng glared at the two of them coldly, then bowed to the ministers and said seriously: "Everyone, this welfare lottery is essentially different from a gambling house. The money earned by the gambling house is put into his private pockets, but the welfare lottery is What about? All the money earned is in the treasury!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone showed a look of surprise.
Then Li Changfeng explained to everyone in more detail what he said to Emperor Gan Wu that day.
He told everyone that half of the income belonged to the treasury, and he did not elaborate on the other half of the income, but directly said that he would enter the prize pool and use it as operating funds.
After everyone heard his statement, they were all impressed by this novel new concept that subverted everyone's common sense.
Gambling houses benefit themselves, and welfare lottery benefit the country.
A gambling shop can make gamblers lose their money, and a welfare lottery ticket with two copper coins cannot make lottery players lose their money.
Just these two points are enough to make everyone unable to find fault.
For a moment, the entire Xuanzheng Hall fell into silence.
The sixth prince Li Ji's face was ashamed.
He thought it was a good opportunity to attack Li Changfeng, but he never thought it was instructed by Emperor Gan Wu. Just scolding Li Changfeng was just like scolding Emperor Gan Wu?
Didn’t you think about seeing them biting dogs? Why did you want to be obsessed with revenge and step on Li Changhe?
Be confused!
The second prince Li Shou gritted his teeth.
No wonder my father suddenly searched the gambling house. It turned out that it was your bad idea that caused the prince to suffer heavy losses, but he was almost beaten to death. This matter is not over!
The eldest prince Li Chengye looked proud.
Neither he nor his supporters took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and they would definitely leave a good impression on Li Changfeng and would be able to win over it in the future.
It will also allow Emperor Gan Wu to see his wisdom, and in the future, he will have more opportunities when choosing a candidate for the prince.
After a brief silence, Murong Changkong came out and exclaimed: "The Ninth Prince's wonderful ideas are really amazing. Your Majesty fully supports this matter and adds an input to the national treasury, and he is even more wise and powerful!"
After some praise, Murong Changkong then changed his mind and said, "But the price of these two copper coins and a lottery ticket can really make money for the national treasury?"
As soon as this statement was made, Chen Dingyuan, the Minister of Revenue, who had been tolerating for a long time, couldn't wait to jump out impatiently without waiting for Emperor Gan Wu to speak.
"Why don't you make money? It's so profitable!"
Realizing that he was a little out of control, Chen Dingyuan first bowed to Emperor Gan Wu and said, "Please forgive me for being rude. I really can't suppress my excitement!"
Emperor Gan Wu smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, Chen Aiqing continues."
Even he was surprised by the silver he paid last night. He wanted to see how the courtiers reacted after hearing the number.
Chen Dingyuan bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then he raised his back and his expression became excited.
"If you don't be a leader, you don't know how expensive it is to get money. Do you know how easy it is to me, the Minister of Revenue, to take charge of the country's money and grain? You need money in every aspect. Do you know how difficult it is to get money?"
"Treasury! The foundation of the country!"
"You all saw it when the flood in Shangzhou is in trouble. If the national treasury is empty, it would be a major event that can shake the foundation of the country! If His Highness the Ninth Prince hadn't turned the tide, have you ever thought about what the situation is now?"
Speaking of this, the princes and ministers looked a little ugly.
Who doesn’t know that the treasury is empty?
Who doesn’t know the importance of the treasury?
Didn’t you talk about how much money you made? What did you do when you deal with the Ninth Prince’s flood in Shangzhou?
Is it necessary to question one sentence after another?
It's simply inappropriate!
Emperor Gan Wu was different. He felt a little moved when he heard Chen Dingyuan's words. If it weren't for Li Changfeng's words, the current situation would be unimaginable.
He subconsciously looked at Li Changfeng, but saw Li Changfeng looking at Chen Dingyuan with some anger, as if he was a little disgusted and took him out and praised him.
A bastard!
Isn't you happy about such a good thing?
Chen Dingyuan is still making generous speeches.
"If a war suddenly breaks out, have you ever thought about the consequences of the empty treasury?! All of you know that you want money. Who ever thought about making money for big things? You know the idea of the Ninth Prince Palace, and I made money for the treasury yesterday. How much does it cost?”
Speaking of this, Chen Dingyuan paused for a moment, his expression became even more excited, and he raised a finger.
"Ten thousand taels! To be precise, it is 13,261 taels! If you can earn so much money every day, will you still worry about having no money when you fight the treasury?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this number.
More than 10,000 taels a day!
It's simply incredible!
The eldest prince Li Chengye immediately stepped out and bowed, "The Nine Emperor brother is really a talented person. This move can not only make me full of the national treasury, but also crack down on the trend of civil gambling. My son admires it!"
When Li Chengye started, a wave of flattery words immediately sounded in the court, all of whom were praising Li Changfeng's wonderful ideas and Emperor Gan Wu's wise and magical martial arts.
Li Shou and Li Ji were so sad that they could not say that they had suffered from coptis chinensis, and they had to follow the crowd to praise Li Changfeng and flatter Emperor Wu.
Emperor Gan Wu was very happy. After discussing some other matters, he announced his retreat and called Li Changfeng to the back hall.
"Things are done well." Emperor Gan Wu laughed.
One day yesterday, he got a profit of more than 6,000 and nearly 7,000 taels, so he was naturally very happy.
"You are not at ease when doing your business? Just wait and collect the money." Li Changfeng laughed.
"It seems that you can't find the North!" Emperor Gan Wu laughed and cursed, then turned to the point of talking and said seriously: "The lottery matter has come to an end first. You haven't gone to the artillery battalion and the musket battalion for many days."
"Okay, okay, I know, can't you go right away?" Li Changfeng said helplessly.
"No hurry." Emperor Gan Wu stopped Li Changfeng from leaving and frowned, saying, "You have been busy with lottery these days, and I have not asked. I heard that the people from the artillery battalion and the musket battalion have been doing all day long. In continuous running…what else is push-ups or sit-ups?”
Cannons and muskets are what Emperor Gan Wu is most concerned about.
He would ask about the training progress every day, and he felt very difficult to understand Li Changfeng's training method.
Li Changfeng asked without answering, "Father, how do you think of the thunder cavalry under his son's command? So what about the Imperial Guard?"
Emperor Gan Wu suddenly had nothing to say.
He knew how badly the Imperial Guard was beaten.
After saying this, Emperor Gan Wu completely dispelled his doubts and waved his hand impatiently, "Go away quickly, I am so angry that my chest hurts when I see you!"
Li Changfeng laughed: "My son is leaving now!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Emperor Gan Wu looked at his back and couldn't help but smile.
This Nine Son is really a living treasure.
However, his words seem to make some sense.
Emperor Gan Wu didn't think about this much, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "If this training method is really effective, should you promote it across the army?"
Army-wide promotion?
Gao Dali was shocked.
This is a real big move!
This new method that subverts the previous training methods will likely cause a violent backlash from the military if it rashly promotes it before it produces particularly impressive results.
This seems like a small thing, but in fact it is equivalent to denying the existing training system and will make many generals dissatisfied.
Gao Dali felt that this was inappropriate.
But Li Changfeng is now in a strong sense of holy favor, so he couldn't say it directly, so he used another method and said in a panic: "This matter is very important, and I dare not speak nonsense!"
Seeing that Gao Dali didn't dare to say it directly, Emperor Gan Wu realized that it was too early to think about this issue, and whispered: "Let's wait until there is a clear effect."
Then he glared at Gao Dali.
"You cunning old guy!"
“…”
After leaving the palace and boarding the carriage, Li Changfeng began to plan his next plan for Li Shou.
Killing Li Shou's gambling house was just the first step of his plan. Li Changfeng wanted to completely cut off his wealth and turn him into a pauper.
This huge gap, Li Shou, who has always been high on the top, will definitely not accept it, and will make him crazy and do some risky things that can be eliminated.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the training grounds of the artillery battalion and the musket battalion.
Li Changfeng gathered everyone together and found that their skin had become dark and many people even had skin on their faces.
Although he looks embarrassed, everyone's spirit looks very strong, especially Li Jianye, with fierce eyes flashing in his eyes.
"It seems that Lei Qi is doing well."
Li Changfeng nodded and said in a cold tone: "I see that the new playground has been built. Let me run thirty laps first and let me see your training results."
As soon as he finished speaking, two thousand people responded in an orderly manner: "No!"
Then, under the command of the Lei Qi command, two thousand people went to the playground and ran at an astonishing speed.
Half an hour later, the run was over in thirty laps.
Many people were still out of breath, but their overall condition and speed were much better than before, and their formation was not at all messy.
"not bad."
After a brief comment, Li Changfeng said to Zhang Haihui who was supervising training here: "All the competition is organized, and the strength rankings are designated as deputy battalion commander, company commander, platoon leader and other military positions. There must be no fraud at all!"
