REINCARNATION GODDESS OF MEDICINE
172. Armament
"Wait a minute ! I want you to tax the Palace 50 percent every year. " Said Yu Lian.
Chang Rui who heard this laughed lightly then looked towards Yu Lian with a cold gaze.
"Ayahanda, what if all this is spread to everyone ? What is the reaction of the people, Your father has led for decades in this Palace, you must know what the consequences are. " Chang Rui said softly.
Although he said all this with a heart and a gentle heart but somehow Yu Lian still felt threatened, she should not be afraid of the threat from girls that she had never considered.
"This will not spread as long as you do not say it. " Said Yu Lian.
Chang Rui smiled coldly and did not respond to this then stared at a given chest.
"Rather than sacrificing the people for a moment's sake, Cheng Qing preferred to seek funding from elsewhere. " Chang Rui said firmly.
His words were loud and clear, it was impossible that anyone outside the Hall would not listen to every word for word he said.
"How can this be considered with a momentary interest ? If you don't manage to find funds and let the people of Wu City trouble then you will be the scapegoat. " Say Yu Lian and assume that Chang Rui will be cornered.
Yu Lian never knew that the 3.5 million Taels she would give Chang Rui would actually have no effect if Chang Rui got it or not.
Yu Lian had viewed herself as too lofty and greedy, even towards the wealth of a City that was on the verge of collapse.
"This servant has no problem in having to take away the sin rather than suffering them more in the future !"Chang Rui shouted out loudly.
"You ! " Say Yu Lian said in high blood when she saw Chang Rui's stubbornness.
"This servant is not polite, but is not afraid to die when it comes to defending the truth. This servant felt that what I had done was in accordance with the words written by the Saints. " Chang Rui's voice pressed on Yu Lian.
With manipulative words, people will think that Yu Lian is the main villain here.
"Then will I not be the bad guy ?!" Yu Lian asked furiously.
"This servant does not dare to accuse His Majesty ! This servant simply thought and carried out each step like a celestial messenger. " Chang Rui said calmly.
After spreading the net then have to wait for a while before finally lifting the net.
The more patient the more fish entered the net, at this time Chang Rui had spread the net.
Just waiting for the fish to get into his finger. Chang Rui observed every expression on Yu Lian's face that looked extremely sour.
"Your Majesty, what if this servant offers something else. Instead, we are ready to be the vanguard of the bar men's attack. " Chang Rui said calmly.
If he said this and Yu Lian agreed then Wu City would truly become a Military Base.
As long as he could take control then he would be able to command most of the soldiers sent there.
"Then, what about the mission I gave you ?" Ask Yu Lian.
"Your Majesty take it easy, I will be able to handle both of them well. " Chang Rui said confidently while Yu Lian just laughed disdainfully.
"Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness. This servant was convinced that His Majesty was a wise man. " Chang Rui said with a sneer.
As long as the other gates near Wu City were closed, then people could only pass through Wu City to go to the Capital.
Since Wu City was in the South of the Capital then another gate in the south would be closed. As long as it could be a stopover for merchants from far away then Wu City would be a lively City.
Chang Rui had thought of all this very well, people from the Capital were more happy to hold broad than swords.
So that if they hear an attack then their hearts will be restless, because he is willing to become an obstacle wall in the South then he will be able to make people feel calmer and safer.
Chang Rui felt that his offer this time had benefited both parties of the exchange, no one was at a disadvantage from this.
"To be inconspicuous, then I'd better send 200 soldiers every day. " Chang Rui said with a faint smile.
"good. " Said Yu Lian.
Chang Rui walked out and a luxurious horse carriage had been prepared for him, the people of the Palace seemed to be very enthusiastic when they heard that he was going home.
His carriage did not directly walk but instead waited for 200 soldiers to walk together to Wu City.
Chang Rui sat in silence while the horse carriage continued walking, in front of him were three chests filled with money.
"Wait a minute. " Said Chang Rui who had been silent since.
The horse carriage was stopped and Chang Rui got off the horse carriage.
"Take all this money to the armament store and buy as much as you can with this money. " Chang Rui said flatly.
"Where will the Princess go ?" Ask one of the guards.
"I'll be right back, no need to worry. Oh yeah, I want about 20 people to follow me. " Chang Rui said.
Then with twenty people, he went to the inn to meet Cuiyun and Lan Qing.
"Bring the crate to the horse carriage. " Chang Rui's orders.
And the property he had obtained from the Lan residence was immediately taken to the horse carriage, because too many were taken so he was forced to buy 2 other horse carriages and 4 stallions.
After it became smooth and in the carriage, sat the three of them in silence. More precisely because Chang Rui was tired so he just kept quiet.
"What about His Majesty's response ?" Quiyun asked opening her voice.
"Initially he wanted half of Wu City's annual tax but I refused, if I agreed. Then, what about the construction costs of Wu City or if it is hit by a plague or even a natural disaster, how can I handle this ? " Task Chang Rui with a sigh.
"So how can Miss ask her to give you this ?" Ask Cuiyun.
"Become a living wall for the Capital. "
