Warlock Toxic General Please Control Yourself

Chapter 34 The Most Suitable Candidate

The black cloth bag over the head was removed, and the cloth in his mouth was taken away.

There is no light in the room, only the deserted moonlight shining in from the window.She was still in shock, dressed in single clothes, with disheveled hair, and hugged the quilt tightly around her body.

Looking up at the person in front of him by the moonlight.

Su Xiaonian looked down at her.His eyes were cold, without a trace of emotion.

This is the second time Ji Ziqi confronts Su Xiaonian.

She was slightly relieved.

I just don't understand the current situation!

Why did Master Su tie her up in the middle of the night for no reason?Could it be some shady hobby?

Ji Ziqi couldn't help his scalp tingling for a while, his hair stood on end, and the way he looked at Su Xiaonian changed again and again.

Su Xiaonian was a little uncomfortable seeing her strange eyes, coughed twice, her voice was calm and indifferent, without a trace of disturbance, "The old man asked Ah Ya to secretly bring you here, because there is something I want to arrange for you to do."

Is this kidnapping?Ji Ziqi murmured in his heart, and opened his mouth to ask: "Can I refuse?" "Do you have the right to refuse?" Su Xiaonian stood with his back to the moonlight, but he didn't know that it was the moonlight covering him that made him look even colder. , it was the coldness around him that brought a tinge of chill to the moonlight.

His voice remained calm.

Ji Ziqi remembered the undisguised murderous look on his body when they first met.

The three of her siblings are no different from ants in his eyes.In front of the absolute strong, she has no ability to resist at all.

But Ji Ziqi didn't want to give in so soon, "Let's listen first!"

Su Xiaonian didn't care about the disrespect in her words.

In the past few years, the north has experienced drought every year, and the grain production has been greatly reduced, and some even have no crops.The people had no food at home, so they had to beg everywhere, resulting in refugees everywhere and constant conflicts.There is a lot of grain in the south of Li State, and the treasury has sufficient grain.His Majesty the Emperor ordered all the governments in the south to do their best to help the people in the north solve the food ration problem for the time being.

But the neighboring Cangyue Kingdom was not so lucky.Cang Yue Kingdom has a large area affected by the disaster, and there are many refugees, so robbery and bloodshed incidents occur every day.

The Emperor of Cang Yue Kingdom had no choice but to send officers and soldiers to suppress it.But the root of the turmoil is food, and the more repression and resistance, the greater.

Later, the prime minister of Cangyue Kingdom proposed that since the root of the problem is grain, it can only be solved with grain; since grain cannot grow in the land of Cangyue Kingdom, it can only be obtained from places where grain can grow.

The Li country has always been rich, and this land in the south of the Yangtze River is a land of fishing and rice, which is well known by the world.

Cang Yue Kingdom did not hesitate to break the decades-long peace with Li State and sent troops to attack Li State.

Their purpose is not to occupy the Li country, but to use it as a threat, hoping that His Majesty can send them food to resolve internal conflicts.

His Majesty refused, and the two countries continued to fight for more than five years.

Originally, the military strength of Cang Yue State was far inferior to that of Li State, but this time the two sides fought, those refugees joined the army, in order to obtain food and survive, they did not hesitate to fight each other with their lives.

His Majesty was furious: "Our country of Li is much better than Cang Yue country in manpower, material and financial resources. The Du family's army is also well-known and mighty in all directions, but it was forced to a tie by the opponent. What is the prestige of our country?"

Marshal Du returned to Beijing in person and reported the battle to His Majesty one by one, but it was because the rear bows and arrows, food, armor, medicine, warm clothes and other supplies could not be replenished in time. Although there were [-] troops in the army, less than [-] were able to fight on weekdays.Compared with the opponent's [-] troops, it has no advantage at all.

His Majesty called Lin Shangshu of the household department and asked why!Lin Shangshu replied: "Although our national treasury is rich, building ships in the east, resting dams in the south, building frontier defenses in the west, and food shortages in the north are all major livelihood issues in the world. .

Therefore, the amount of silver allocated to the purchase of military supplies is limited, and there are wars in the southwest and the east. The workshops in various places have been rushing to work day and night for a year, and the expansion of manpower has never stopped.

The purchase and distribution of military supplies by the household department are all provided according to the needs of the front line and according to the degree of urgency. "

Marshal Du snorted softly, and said, "Shangshu Lin, I don't understand these things! All I know is that there are a lot of supplies in the warehouse of the Grain and Grass Department in the cool sky, but what can be used is limited! Especially emergency supplies , always arrives at the end! You have to find a way for Du Mou to solve this problem!"

Lin Shangshu also snorted softly, and said: "If Marshal Du needs to get supplies in time, please write to the imperial court in advance the exact end time of the entire war! The exact number of weapons, food and grass loss! The exact number of casualties! Then the Ministry of Households will follow this Prepare well in advance!"

Marshal Du was furious when he heard this, "How can we be sure about what happened on the battlefield and what hasn't happened yet?" Lin Shangshu said coldly, "Since what hasn't happened can't be said with certainty, the Ministry of Households is stockpiling military supplies in advance. How can the materials be exactly the same?
The production of knives, bows, arrows, guns, medicines, armor, cold clothes, etc., and the deployment of food all take time!It's not that if you just open your mouth and say you want it, the Ministry of Households will be able to change it!

If you lose a battle, find the reason from yourself first! "

Du Yuanshuai was so angry that he pulled up Lin Lishu's chest, "If it wasn't for the fact that the Ministry of Households did not provide supplies in time, I would have lost the battle?"

Lin Shangshu had never been insulted like this before, and immediately fought with Marshal Du, and His Majesty had no time to stop it.

Lin Shangshu, a one-year-old scholar, couldn't even compare to Marshal Du with a single finger, and was beaten black and blue in two or three strokes.

Although the relationship between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households has always been at odds, it has never been face-to-face. Now that it has reached such a level, it has been in turmoil ever since.

His Majesty had been in the army for five years when he was young, and he was in power for another 20 years. He understood the difficulties of both sides, and the war was urgent, so not only could he not be ruthless in punishing them severely, they were only fined half a year's salary. Mediation in the middle.

He first dispatched candidates from the household department to go to the front-line camps in various places to understand the situation on the spot.They also drew people from the Ministry of War and went to the Ministry of Households to understand the operation. It is hoped that both parties can let go of their prejudices after an in-depth understanding and agree to the outside world.

It turned out to be counterproductive.The military department and the household department have had too deep a grudge this time, deliberately making things difficult for the people sent by the other party, not only did they not understand each other, but the hatred grew deeper and deeper.

The ministers of the DPRK and China are also faintly divided into two factions, one faction supports the household department, and the other supports the military department.

There are also some parties who are not partial to the two sides, but no one wants to mediate in the middle and become the common enemy of both sides.The wars in various places are getting more and more stalemate, His Majesty has no choice but to issue an order to Su Xiaonian's immediate superior, asking him to secretly search for hidden magic masters among the people, send them to the front to solve the problem, and secretly mediate the conflict between the two sides. The time limit is three months .

And it's been over two months now.

After hearing this, Ji Ziqi understood, she sneered, "Ziqi is a weak girl with no official position. I don't know why the master thinks that Ziqi can take on such a heavy responsibility?"

Su Xiaonian reached out his hand to stroke his beard, and said calmly: "Do you think that I really don't know what you have done in the Su Mansion in the past five months or so? The general's car, the general's flag, the bidding and guessing, and the distribution of rewards, which one is not right?" Are you strategizing in the future? Mr. Zhao's fancy in the pre-study branch, the confidentiality agreement between you and Jinyan, and the secret guidance to Luo Shu, Tang, Song and Wu Sanduo, which one does not show your magical talent that is different from ordinary people?
In terms of scheming, character and talent, and a grasp of human nature, you have everything!The only fly in the ointment is that you are a woman, a woman under fourteen!

But judging from the current situation, you may not be the perfect candidate, but you are the most suitable candidate at the moment! "

Ji Ziqi sneered, "Master Su, you think highly of Ziqi too much! There are always irreconcilable conflicts between the household department and the military department, just like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. How can I make them become real ones?" Mother and daughter?"

　small theater:

　　Su Xiaonian (with contemptuous eyes): You can't even compare to one ten-thousandth of a hair of my Ayun!

　　Ji Ziqi (囧): Hehe, that’s that~
