Chapter 379

There is a hot pot on the table in the room. As the water temperature rises, the soup in the hot pot begins to roll upward, and the bottom of the pot comes out from time to time with the boiling water.

Seeing this, Ren 8000 quickly put the meat and wild vegetables in it, and the aroma suddenly came out.

Before, when waiting for the hot pot soup to boil, the three people stared at each other, and there was nothing to say. At this time, when the soup opened, it was considered to open the deadlock.

Ren 8000, the female emperor, and Hongwu, who has practiced the unique skill of changing face.

When facing the female emperor, it's like a breeze. When looking at Ren 8000, it's like frost. The change of expression in a moment is amazing.

I want to ask him whether he ate your food or arched your cabbage? See me with a cold face, what hatred?

With such a person present, Ren 8000 was in a bad mood immediately.

The female emperor is always cold. Ren 8000 doesn't speak, and she doesn't speak.

Hongwu is like an electric light bulb.

Now the hot pot is ready. With Ren 8000 moving, the atmosphere is more or less active.

The female emperor stared at the floating meat in the hot pot, and her attention was all on it.

"Your majesty!" Ren 8000 put the meat rinse on the female emperor's plate and disappeared in a moment.

The empress is greedy these days.

Ren 8000 poured wine for the female emperor and then poured wine for himself.

"I wish your majesty a prosperous future!" Ren 8000 raised a toast.

The female emperor drank the wine in one gulp, and her eyes became clearer.

"I would like to congratulate your highness again for killing Lu Qi, and the prestige will frighten Da Xia!" Let 8000 respect again.

Although Ren 8000 said it casually, it is true. You know, in the past half a year, the female emperor first killed the fifth flower scattered flow in the world, and then killed the second old bamboo and wood who made up the tenth. This time, she killed Lu Qi, who was originally the eighth in the world and rose to the seventh in the world because of the female emperor. The news spread in the summer with the failure of the war and the loss of 500000 soldiers these two days.

The name of the female emperor has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the summer.

I don't know how many martial artists and scholars are discussing the great glory of Qi Zixiao in the streets or pubs.

Everything I said was amazing.

You know, three years ago, because the female emperor was young and didn't have many achievements in fighting with experts, she was ranked in the top ten in the world, and many people were skeptical. Therefore, some people have been challenging the female emperor for the next two years.

Although none of the challengers survived, the female emperor has not made a record of fighting with the top experts after all.

Until recently, three times in the past six months have really shocked the world.

In addition to Dayao, the reputation has overshadowed Hongwu, which has guarded the border for decades.

After all, this kind of top expert is still a young woman. Her beauty is also the best in the world and attracts more attention.

Unfortunately, I heard she has a little white face.

"This third cup... Although I don't seem to have done anything, I still say to myself that it's hard!" Ren 8000 thought for a moment and said sincerely.

As soon as Hongwu heard this, his beard was about to stand up. He almost put the bowl on 8000's face. The shameless demeanor of this goods is better than that bastard tongzhenye when he was young.

If I had known this man was like this, I would have fought to prevent his majesty from choosing him as his husband.

When the empress heard the speech, her eyes bent.

His clear eyes turned on Ren 8000: "do you want me to pour you wine?"

"Just do it yourself, do it yourself!" Ren 8000 laughed and drank up the wine himself.

"I respect the great general's hard work and high achievements!" The female emperor fiddled with the wine glass and said to Hongwu.

"Thank you, your majesty. It's my duty!" Hongwu holds the cup with both hands and doesn't forget to stare at Ren 81.

But anyway, the scope of the room is more or less lively at this time, which is much better than that just now.

"Your Majesty, what's next?" Ren 8000 asked.

"What do you mean?" The female emperor's eyes flashed and didn't quite understand what he said.

"Da Xia came to fight. Now he's lost and retreated. What's next?" Ren 8000 asked.

"Those civilians who fled into the city should return to the stockade and rearrange their fields. However, some stockades have been burned and the crops of this season have been destroyed. I'm afraid it's difficult for people's livelihood in the next two seasons, so it's time to reduce their taxes." Hongwu said that it was a big deal in his eyes.

"There are several broken cities that need to be repaired!"

"And then?" Ren 8000 continued to ask.

"Governor Ren, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Said Hongwu.

"I mean, can't you ask Da Xia to compensate for the defeat?" Ren 8000 said.

"Compensation for defeat?" Hongwu and the female emperor look at him. This word has never existed in this world.

When Ren 8000 saw that they didn't understand, he explained, "they can't fight whenever they want. If they lose, withdraw back?

We have also suffered so many casualties. Isn't it too much to have a one-man round master of one hundred liang? They can't compensate for funeral expenses or something? There are at least 100000 casualties, that's 102 million.

There are also spiritual loss fees. Do the families of the dead and injured people also need compensation? You know, they lost their loved ones because of the atrocities of the summer. Although giving money can't make up for their spiritual trauma, it's absolutely impossible not to give money.

In addition, your majesty, you have lost a kilo because you can't eat well and sleep well these days. Do you have to compensate?

In addition, those towns took a lot of manpower and material resources to build, but they were destroyed by the war because of the summer invasion. This must be solved with money!

And they attacked the city and cut down so many of our trees. It takes ten years for trees and a hundred years for people. How many years will those trees grow? You have to pay for shopping. If they rob the tree, they have to pay for it!

And they left so much garbage when they withdrew. If they want to clean up these garbage, they still need to know how much manpower and material resources... "

"Although it is said that there will inevitably be damage in the war between the two soldiers, these are caused by the summer, and they should compensate in any way. This is compensation. In addition, there are compensation for the defeat. It can't be said that they will fight if they want to fight? If they fight and lose, they must pay compensation!"

Ren 8000 broke his fingers to two people.

"Finally, they robbed me of 5 million liang of silver. Do I have to pay this back?"

Both Hongwu and the female emperor have bright faces. Ren 8000's words have opened their eyes. They have never heard of the saying of losing compensation.

And what happened to your last 5 million liang of silver? When were you robbed of 5 million taels?

"How can Xia Bailong agree to these requirements!" Hongwu was surprised at first, and then said coldly.

"If you don't give it, go and get it yourself. It's said that they have 180000 people at the border? It's even difficult to guard the border. If an army enters the hinterland of summer at this time, they can't help it. No? Their recruits can't train in a few months.

Even if they redeploy troops from other positions, they can't do it in a short time.

With this time, I can do a lot of things.

If we rob them, we have to spread that the emperor of the Xia Dynasty refused to compensate us for our losses. He sent troops to invade us first, but he didn't want to bear the consequences and ignored the civilians in those cities. "

"I'm afraid it will backfire. Those civilians hate us." Hongwu thought carefully. Although he doesn't like Ren 8000, he will put aside his prejudice for the time being.

Go grab one. He's still a little excited. After all, I was beaten for nothing. No one can swallow it. Not to mention the veteran of Rong Mabian for decades.

"The human heart is the most unpredictable thing. It is not uncommon for a person to hate his protector because his protector fails to protect himself, resulting in being hurt by others." Ren 8000 shook his head.

"Besides, they don't necessarily like us now."

Hong Wu agrees with Ren 8000's words.

"The problem now is that there is cloud country!" Hongwu frowned. Now the Northeast capital guard is still at war with the cloud state, and the battle between the northern capital guard and Daxia has just ended. If we fight with Daxia again at this time, I'm afraid we'll fall into the mire again.

"The first batch of 20000 recruits will be ready in two months. If cloud kingdom alone, there will be no big storms in two months. On the contrary, it is summer. They are afraid to lick their wounds and recuperate. It is uncertain when they will hit us again. Especially when we are fighting with cloud Kingdom, they are grinding their claws and teeth silently.

Instead of doing this, you might as well give them some trouble first. At least until we solve the cloud country, they don't care about us. " Ren 8000 said.

"It won't take long to solve the cloud country." Said Hongwu.

He wants to be more stable, first solve the cloud country, and then solve Daxia.

Cloud country is much easier to deal with than Da Xia.

"It's easy to repel the cloud country, but it's not a short time to occupy the cloud country." Ren 8000 said.

Hearing this, Hongwu was surprised and looked at the female emperor.

The female emperor nodded slightly and recognized Ren 8000's words.

"Although the cloud kingdom is bigger and smaller than China, it has a large population and complex situation. If you want to occupy the cloud Kingdom, you may need a large number of troops to maintain it. Although occupying the cloud Kingdom has advantages, it also has many disadvantages. Just like the south, those people are always dishonest. They occupy a large area of land and involve a whole capital guard." Hongwu frowned. He didn't know when the female emperor and Ren 8000 had this idea, but it was difficult for Dayao to swallow the cloud country.

A South plus a cloud country, even if it involved most of the energy at that time, in his opinion, the harm outweighed the advantage.

His first reaction to the idea was to oppose it. After all, in addition to the lack of salt and iron, other aspects of Dayao are OK. And now the salt and iron affairs have been solved. There is no need to risk swallowing the cloud country and spend a lot of energy to rule there. If not, it will fall into the quagmire.

You should know that cloud country is not a small country with a larger population than Dayao. Dayao can't find so many officials who can be used after occupying the cloud country.

"But the cloud is what we need most." Ren 81, 000 words.

No matter salt, iron, minerals, population, all aspects are needed by Dayao. Next, if Dayao wants to develop rapidly, various outputs of cloud country are very important.

"And I have some ideas about how to control there." Ren 8000.

Hongwu looked at him and was skeptical about his words.

"This matter is very important. Your majesty should think twice." Hongwu Gongshou road.

"I have made up my mind!" The empress said faintly. After visiting the earth, she knew how barren Dayao was. Therefore, Yunguo, a land rich in minerals, must also be obtained.

"The general doesn't need to worry too much. You can see the situation at that time. If things can't be done, you can also sweep a lot of materials back in the cloud country." Ren 8000 added.

Hearing this, Hongwu finally put down his dessert, but his eyebrows were still frowned.

War is not a child's play, nor is it a child's play to occupy such a large country and bring it into its own territory.

It seems that I have to find a chance to go back to Lan City and meet Shi Qing and several others.
