Ahudala left the palace in a very bad mood, and his complexion did not improve until he returned home.
After hearing the attendant talking about her husband's condition, Gianna Lisse hurriedly came out to welcome him.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Giana Lisser asked with concern.
When Ahhudala saw his wife coming out, he hurriedly concealed the sadness on his face and said with a slightly forced smile: "Jiya, why are you out? You should be resting in the house."
Gianna stood up and said: "Husband, they said you just went to see His Majesty. Did something unpleasant happen?"
Ahudala did not answer, but protected his wife as she walked into the house.
After entering the room and shooing away his attendants, Ahudala sighed heavily, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"Husband, please tell me what's going on? Don't make me anxious, okay?" Giana Lisser frowned in worry.
Ahudala said: "Jiya, do you still remember that before I went to Shengguo, my father promised to allocate a sum of silver to Qingyuan Pass to help the Luna Army build defensive facilities?"
"Remember, what's wrong?" Jiana Lisser realized something as soon as she asked, and immediately said: "Does it mean that this money has not been allocated?"
Ahudala nodded tiredly and said: "About that, only a small part was allocated, which was just enough for General Fan and the others to recruit some new soldiers. The remaining 80% was used for other purposes! What do you think?
Say, what is this?..."
Under Jaina Lisser's questioning, Ahudala told him about the construction of the giant Haoyue statue.
After finishing speaking, the more Ahudala thought about it, the more he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. He couldn't help complaining that his father should not spend money to start projects that would not help the battle at the pass.
Although Jiana Lisser and Ahudala had the same inner thoughts, she did not have any words of blame. She just listened patiently and allowed Ahudala to express his displeasure.
Ahudala complained for a while before noticing something was wrong, and asked: "Jiya, why don't you say anything? Do you think your father is right to do this?"
"Husband, have you calmed down? If you calm down, I will tell you my thoughts." Gianna said.
Ahudala was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Jiya, please tell me what you think."
Gianna Lisser looked at her husband seriously, and said calmly and gently: "Husband, although you have nothing to say about the construction of the Haoyue Statue, I also agree with it, but looking at it from another angle, my father and the eldest prince also have them.
You have to understand their considerations."
"This...how do you say this, Jiya?" Ahudala suddenly couldn't figure it out.
Gianna stood up and said: "Husband, father and the eldest prince are starting to build the Haoyue Statue at this time. Although it will not be of substantial help in the battle at the pass, there is one thing that you must not forget, husband. This can stabilize the people's hearts.
"
"Stabilize the people's sentiments?" Ahudala suddenly became enlightened when he heard this.
The whole country of Muyue Kingdom believes in the Haoyue God. Among the people, many ordinary people do not know how fierce the fighting at Qingyuan Pass is. Many people even think that the pass can be defended because of the protection of the Haoyue God, who is worshiped by the whole country.
After praying devoutly to the Haoyue God, the Haoyue God appeared and helped the Muyue Kingdom, thus successfully resisting the attack of the Pitz people.
Therefore, the country suddenly started construction of the statue at this time, which not only stabilizes the people's hearts and allows the people to work and produce with peace of mind, but also enhances the confidence of the people across the country.
Ahudala was thinking about the problem seriously, and Jiana Lisser didn't bother him, and went to get a glass of water for her husband.
After a long while, Ahudala drank the water in the cup. Although he had figured out some problems, his brows were still furrowed.
"But Jiya, I still think we can't treat the Luna Army badly at this time. Think about it, for those more than a hundred soldiers who died in the battle, how can they get their pensions without money? How can they replenish the ordnance to defend the city without money?
How to strengthen the defense city at Yinzi Pass? All of this is worth a lot of money. If we don't pay attention to it, how can we defend it the next time the Pitzers come over?" Ahhudala was still worried.
Jiana Lisser also agreed with Ahudala's statement and nodded: "Yes, the soldiers are working hard on the front line, we can't just ignore them..."
With that said, Gianna Lisser entered the back room, and then heard the sound of rummaging for something.
"Jiya, what are you looking for?" Ahudala stood up and walked to the back room.
As soon as she took two steps, Giana Lisser came out, holding two brocade boxes, one large and one small.
Ahudala asked: "Jiya, what did you do with the money?"
In these two brocade boxes are part of the family's savings.
Gianna Lisser put the two brocade boxes on the table and said to her husband: "Husband, now that the national treasury is empty, money needs to be spent everywhere. Even if His Majesty is willing to replenish the amount of silver to the Luna Army, it probably won't be possible for a while.
If we can manage it well, why don’t we take some of our own savings and give it to the Luna Army, so that we can do our little bit, which is also good.”
Ahudala opened the two brocade boxes, looked at them, and said, "But Jiya, these alone are not enough."
Gianna Lisse said: "Don't worry, husband, I will send someone to Mo Feng City later to see if I can ask my father to come forward and borrow some from my tribe. I think it should be barely enough.
If it's less, we're thinking of ways to at least meet the immediate emergency, don't you think?"
Gianna Lisser's family is in Mo Feng City, which is two days away from Haoyue City. Their family is a big local family. They do a lot of business and make a lot of money. They are quite powerful. Moreover, Giana Lisser's father is also the city lord of Mo Feng City.
, the power and authority are also very great.
"Ask your tribe to borrow it? Isn't this... not good?" Ahhudala hesitated.
Gianna Lisser understood her husband's thoughts and said: "Husband, it can be said that this is a very critical moment. You should stop caring about the issue of face. To put it mildly, if the Qingyuan Pass is breached,
, people from the Pitz country came in through the pass, not only the people of Haoyue City would suffer, but also my family and my tribe would suffer. My father is the lord of a city, and he will not be unclear about the seriousness of it.
"
"Then...well, I'll leave this matter to you." Ahhudala was no longer stubborn and nodded in agreement.
Gianna immediately said: "Husband, please help me grind the ink. I will write a letter right away so that I can hand it over to my father as soon as possible."
"Okay." Ahudala did not hesitate, and immediately went to the table, poured some water into the inkstone, and then started grinding the ink.
