Chapter 0010: Chief of Transportation Squad
How about General Yangwei, Feng Qingyun?" The dark-faced civil official hesitated for quite a while before finally uttering a name
The hall was enveloped in silence
Therefore, it is better to honestly engage in resource reselling to make money; quietly accumulating wealth is the true path to success
The current emperor is young, and the chief minister is acting as regent, gradually encroaching upon the power of the court over the years. In the court, he has already gained considerable influence, commanding a hundred responses with a single call. Even the esteemed one in the palace has gradually ceased to hold him in awe
A nation cannot be without a ruler for a single day. Not to mention in the ancient world, where emperors were the most important central symbols of a regime. Even in modern society, can you imagine a scenario where the highest leader of a country frequently goes missing? If that were the case, it would be surprising if no chaos ensued
It is uncertain whether Zhao Yuanjin possesses the fortune of the Ming Taizu, but even with his unwavering assistance, establishing a kingdom is not something that can be accomplished in a short period. Am I to accompany him in this endeavor for several more years?
Meng Luo can be considered one of the few military talents in the court today. If even he has fallen at the gates of Jingnan County, can another person simply resolve the issue? If a great general were to be added, Zhao's arrogance would undoubtedly become even more rampant, putting several surrounding counties in danger
"Adults... are wise." Wei Mingyuan thought to himself with a bitter smile, and could only respond with utmost respect.
Zhang Minzhong snorted softly and said in a lukewarm manner: "In the court, with so many officials and virtuous ministers, is it really impossible to find even one person willing to share the burdens of the country?"
Several civil officials fell silent once again. Recommending talent is often not an easy task; if the person recommended fails to perform their duties, the recommender also faces misfortune. Moreover, this time it concerns the significant matter of leading troops to quell a rebellion. It could very well endanger one's life.
As for you, Wei Mingyuan, you are also a rare talent. Go serve as a military advisor to Feng Qingyun. When the day of the great army's triumphant return arrives, I will commend you both.
I took out my phone to check the balance of my bank account. Over the past few days, I have been shopping extensively, spending nearly half of my savings, and there is still more than 16 million remaining in my account
To say that one must constantly shuttle between two worlds implies that one will inevitably "disappear" frequently in the other. Can the entire court of civil and military officials accept an emperor who occasionally plays at vanishing? The answer is clearly negative
This implies that the process of supporting Zhao Yuanjin's rise to power will inevitably be extremely lengthy. It may take several years to seize the world and establish himself as emperor
Moreover, the world today is in turmoil, with smoke of war rising everywhere. Numerous armies are engaged in battles across various regions, and the capital's critical areas have become quite vulnerable. How many troops are left to be mobilized?
Zhang Min frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said somewhat reluctantly: "Then promote him one rank, grant his family five thousand taels of silver as compensation, and let the Ministry of Rites discuss a more favorable posthumous title. The other fallen officers can be handled according to the usual practices, and you few should return and draft a detailed regulation."
He truly did not know how to express it. The deaths of General Zhenyuan and those military generals had far exceeded the understanding of these officials
"Use ! '' " said Qin Feng
Finally, Wei Mingyuan cautiously inquired: "My lord, regarding General Meng Luo's funeral arrangements, what do you think would be the best way to handle it?"
I have family and friends here, and it is impossible to stay there until I grow old and die. In the real world, as long as one has money, life will never be worse than that of ancient emperors, and many pleasures are not available in that ancient world
After a moment of awkward silence, Zhang Minzhong's voice rang out again: "Forget it, let Feng Qingyun take charge. I will go to the inner palace shortly to request an imperial decree, instructing Chang Huaizhong of the Ministry of War to prepare for the expedition."
After a long while, a sixth-rank civil official glanced at the expression of the Chief Minister and cautiously said: "My lord, the defeat of the imperial pacification army in Jingnan County is indeed somewhat puzzling"
According to the normal course of civilized historical evolution, it may take several hundred years for weapons similar to firearms to appear in this world
Feng Qingyun is the adopted son of the Prime Minister, possessing some talents, but he is incomparable to Meng Luo. However, the Prime Minister values this adopted son greatly in order to cultivate and manage his own power. If he can successfully deal with the rebel forces led by Zhao Yuanjin, he will be able to promote and employ him justifiably upon his return
He sighed inwardly as the first strand of the world's original energy extracted by the starship was spent just like that. However, from this point on, the flow of time in this world would accelerate threefold, with one day in this world equating to three days in that world. This was undoubtedly advantageous for him, allowing him to trade goods more quickly and effectively to amass wealth
As for personally taking up arms and leading a team to rebel and争天下 in another world, as well as the option of establishing a new dynasty and founding a nation, Qin Feng only considered it briefly before abandoning the idea
Qin Feng suddenly recalled something, and his brows slightly furrowed
A calm-faced black-faced official stepped forward and said: "My lord, although General Mengluo has unfortunately sacrificed himself for the court, the main force of the court's army still remains. They are currently stationed in Yangcheng County. As long as a capable and loyal general is dispatched to take charge of the situation, along with the deployment of additional reinforcements, we can surely revive our spirits and eliminate the Zhao rebels"
As long as this batch of supplies is transported, it will immediately generate at least several times the net profit, making it quite easy to become wealthy.
... ...
In the past, the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang participated in the Red Turban Army to rise against the Yuan dynasty, initially claiming the title of Duke of Wu and later that of King of Wu. He defeated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, launched a northern expedition, and captured Yanjing, taking a full fifteen years to achieve his imperial ambitions
The Chief Minister Zhang Minzhong took a few breaths, picked up the teacup on the table, and sipped from it. His emotions gradually calmed down, and he restored his demeanor of being as tranquil as an ancient well, with no visible signs of joy or anger.
"The rebellion in Jingnan Commandery cannot be subdued for the time being, correct?" He slowly sat down behind the desk and asked indifferently
So this is how 'the torrent of time' is used? I was somewhat confused before, but now I understand the value of this concept
"Then... who can take on this heavy responsibility?" Zhang Minzhong's expression softened a bit
Although Zhang Minzhong now holds great power, he still outwardly presents himself as a loyal minister to the state, giving the young emperor a degree of dignity and respect, and he does not dare to appear too unseemly in his conduct
Although there is a time difference between the world one inhabits and this parallel world, the flow of time is essentially synchronized; when one hour passes here, approximately one hour also passes there
I have reviewed all the battle reports from Jingnan Prefecture and the surrounding counties over the past six months, as well as the complete situation regarding the rebel Zhao Yuanjin, and have found no discrepancies. Just seven days ago, the memorial sent by General Mengluo stated that Zhao's forces were at their wits' end and their complete destruction was imminent. However, it is unexpected that just two or three days later, such a significant change has occurred, this ...
After several back-and-forths, at most six months later, he will be able to consider purchasing a standalone villa in the most prosperous area of Binhai City, and it will be a luxury residence of the highest caliber, making the purchase of a car a natural progression.
Just ... ...
A sudden silence enveloped the surroundings, and the cold, piercing gaze of the Prime Minister swept over, making him feel a prickling sensation on his scalp and beads of sweat form on his forehead
I now seem to be taking on the logistics duties for that guy Zhao Yuanjin, what is this called? The head of the transportation team? he thought to himself with a hint of self-mockery
Qin Feng felt a bit of pain as he began to communicate with the starship, and immediately received a response: "Temporal currents. The flow of time in the indigenous world can be adjusted, with a maximum acceleration of three times (relative to the original world). It requires a world essence of 20. Confirm usage?"
This high-ranking minister of the Great Qi court, having surpassed the age of fifty, possesses a slightly plump physique, with bright and piercing eyes, and carries a subtle air of authority in his words and actions
Qin Feng was naturally unaware of the intricate and unpredictable dynamics within the court of the Great Qi, where dark currents flowed beneath the surface. At this moment, he had already procured the items he needed. To this end, he had specifically rented a large cold storage facility to temporarily store the fresh eggs and beef and mutton he had purchased.
Although Meng Luo possesses considerable abilities, he does not belong to the direct line of the Prime Minister, which explains why Zhang Minzhong does not hold him in high regard. However, the world has now entered a tumultuous season, making it a critical time for employing talent. Both in terms of sentiment and reason, it is necessary to make a show of support, so as not to dishearten those generals leading troops outside.
