I want to ruin the country

The monks were a little frightened.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"

Yining Road,

“There’s nothing wrong with it, just tell him to keep it a secret.

Warfare is about taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them when they are unprepared, so as to minimize casualties. Every soldier of our Celestial Empire is a treasure!"

Li Sheng finally met the emperor.

Yining sat on the Sumeru throne in the Qianqing Palace and accepted Li Sheng's three kneelings and nine kowtows!

"Lord Li, please get up quickly! You miss me so much!"

Yining treated Li Sheng with great enthusiasm and cared about him, which made Li Sheng feel like he was basking in the spring breeze. All the boredom he had felt after not seeing the emperor for many days was swept away!

After the greetings, Yining asked about the national economy and people's livelihood!

Li Sheng reported the truth, but he remembered Li Cunxuan's words that the crying child gets the milk, so it was very difficult for him to speak in a roundabout way!

Yining knew the situation in North Korea very well. It didn't matter whether you cried about poverty or not. Yining just listened attentively.

After Li Sheng finished speaking, Yining frowned and said,

"After listening to your words, I realized how difficult your life has been!

My dear minister, you should have submitted a memorial earlier. If I had known this earlier, how could I have watched you suffer so much!

Come, Lin Zexu, Du Shoutian, Duan Hua, and Peng Yunzhang are here to see you! "

After a while, four people came!

Yining Road,

"I just heard from Lord Li Ai that their country is still in dire straits, and I feel very uneasy!

I have decided to strongly support the Li Qing family!

You quickly selected outstanding talents in grain planting, water conservancy management, machinery manufacturing and other aspects.

Let them go to Li Aiqing without fear of hardship and overcome all difficulties to help Li Aiqing!

Du Shoutian frowned and said,

"Your Majesty, we have a lot of work to do, and these are the talents we urgently need!"

Yining Road,

"I also know that since Li Aiqing has come, I can't just ignore him!"

Du Shoutian asked,

"How many people should be selected, and at what level?"

"At least one thousand people must be selected. Those who are below the fifth rank will be promoted to the fifth rank official belt, and those who are above the fifth rank will be promoted one level higher!

When Li Aiqing returns home, I will set off with him!"

Li Sheng was stunned. What kind of operation was this?

I cried poor just to ask the emperor to give me more things and money.

You have to get me a thousand people. How can I deal with so many ancestors all of a sudden? Isn’t this just a pile of hot yams?

"emperor……"

Yining waved his hand and said,

"Lord Li, don't worry about anything else. I will still provide food and wages to these officials.

I just don't know when they'll be able to complete their mission and return. I'll allow them to take their families with them. Lord Li, rest assured, right?

After hearing this, Li Sheng almost cried. Judging from the expression, he knew that he could not refuse!

The emperor is so kind, we can’t be shameless!

What's more, they go there with a salary, they don't eat or drink from you, they just go there to help you. This is a great thing!

Jin Zhongnan, who came with him, saw that the king still did not thank him, and the situation was a little awkward. He coughed hurriedly to remind Li Sheng,

It's time to express gratitude, otherwise it would be extremely disrespectful to always leave the emperor in the cold!

Li Sheng came to his senses and said hurriedly,

"Uh, thank you for your grace, Li Shengming is deeply grateful!"

Yining knew that he was undecided, but now that I have said it, it is not up to you whether you are willing or not!

"Lord Li, I understand your intentions now that you have come.

The Japanese pirates are rampant along the coast. You should have let me know long ago that these pirates are nothing to worry about.

I have strictly ordered the commander of the Northeast War Zone, Senglin Qin, to immediately raise an army of 50,000 to help you suppress the bandits, so as to prevent the suffering of my people!"

Li Sheng thanked him again quickly.

"Long live your majesty!"

Come to think of it, the emperor's suggestion to send troops to suppress the bandits at my request is not a bad idea. Isn't the purpose of my coming here to ask for help?

But once these 50,000 troops enter our country, it will be difficult to get rid of them even if it is easier to invite them!

Li Sheng thought about it and felt relieved.

The emperor's intention is to deal with Japan, but it is just a transit point. Besides, our dynasty has always regarded the mainland as its suzerain state, so there is no need for them to invade us!

Yining said again,

"I will dispatch someone to disburse the food and wages for these 50,000 troops on time. I have only one request of you!"

When Li Sheng heard that he didn't have to pay for food and wages, he was even happier.

"Your Majesty, please give your orders. I will obey your orders!"

Yining Road,

"For the sake of your country's long-term stability, I would like to train 200,000 new troops for you. Are you willing?"

Li Sheng's mind raced. What did it mean to train 200,000 new troops for me?

I already have 300,000 troops, why do I need to train new troops?

However, since the emperor is just sitting there waiting for me, I can't just keep not replying.

Li Sheng replied,

"Ah, ah! I am willing!"

Yining smiled and said,

"Lord Li must be confused, and I know you have an army of 300,000!

But in the future, all wars will be modern ones, so the old almanac is no longer relevant!

My dear ministers, you may have heard that I have trained more than 100,000 new troops since this spring!

Through the suppression of bandits, we can see that the new army is many times more powerful than the original Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers! "

"I have heard a little bit about it!"

"Two hundred thousand new troops are not the goal. From now on, all armies will be trained according to the new army model. I have already issued an order to gather two million new troops to begin training!

Your country can also train hundreds of thousands of troops, not only to protect itself, but also to join my army in conquering the world and achieving great things!"

When Li Sheng heard this, he naturally understood that conquering the world meant fighting against the Japanese pirates.

Isn't the purpose of maintaining an army to guard against Japanese pirates? The mainland is not your enemy.

"The minister obeys the order!"

After the big news was finished, Yining and Li Sheng were relieved.

Yining held a grand banquet to warmly entertain Li Sheng and his party.

In the conversation about Korean history, Yining talked about the Geumgulu ruins in Danyang, North Chungcheong Province, and the Jeongok-ri ruins in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province.

From Gojoseon of Gojoseon to Wiman Joseon, from the rise of Silla to the regicide of Yeon Gaesomun and Emperor Taizong of Tang's personal expedition against Goguryeo.

He also talked about how Lee Seong-gye deposed King Gongyang of Goryeo and changed the name of Goryeo to "Joseon", citing historical records and speaking eloquently.

He casually cited various allusions, leaving Li Sheng stunned!

Oh my god, no wonder he could become the emperor, he remembers this history better than I do!

Not only that, Yining's brilliant comments on various periods not only shocked Li Sheng, but even Lin Zexu and Du Shoutian who were accompanying him were surprised.

Lin Zexu looked at Du Shoutian deeply, meaning that he was a good disciple taught by you!

Du Shoutian shook his head in shame. He did not dare to take credit for it.

Regarding North Korea, I didn’t teach it in such detail.

Moreover, I had not thought of some of the viewpoints myself, and the emperor’s summary was even more insightful.

No wonder everyone said that the emperor read by lamplight every night, it seems to be true!

The emperor is really a diligent and studious emperor! This also explains why the emperor has not yet intended to take concubines!

The emperor was afraid of delaying his studies, and the ministers couldn't help but respect him!

If you don’t mind the affairs of the boudoir, you are a real man!

After finishing his work, Li Sheng missed his family and hurried back!

Less than a month later, 50,000 soldiers and 200 officials sent by the imperial court landed on the Korean Island one after another!
