Chapter 897 A Lot of Hard Labor Is Needed

Ning Chen looked at Ji Mingchen.

Ji Mingchen said, "The firearms blueprints they took away were all modified... If you build firearms according to the blueprints, you will never be able to build them."

Ning Chen was amused, "The old man is really cunning, the old horse is slippery... Well done!"

Ji Mingchen's mouth twitched, this didn't sound like a compliment.

Ning Chen sighed, Zhang Tianlun, that bastard, emptied the treasury, and he would have to tighten his belt to live in the future.

Fortunately, the autumn harvest is coming soon, and the taxes and silver from all over the country should be paid... so there won't be any big trouble.

As he was talking, the waiter of Tianfulou started to serve the dishes.

Soon the table was filled with delicacies.

After Eunuch Quan checked, Ning Chen began to eat heartily.

Looking at Ning Chen's wolfing down, Emperor Xuan was full of smiles.

"Ning Chen, I have already had Ning Mansion cleaned up."

After Ning Chen left the capital, Emperor De ordered the Ning Mansion to be sealed.

The house has been empty.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, father!"

After eating and drinking.

Everyone came out of Tianfu Tower.

Emperor Xuan went back to the palace.

Now he has to deal with the affairs of the palace.

Ning Chen's responsibility is to rectify military affairs.

Ning Chen took Lei An and others back to Ning Mansion.

Looking at everything familiar, he was a little dazed.

When he left the capital, he thought he would never come back in this life.

Ning Chen walked around the mansion, everything was the same as before.

But without Yudie, Zi Su, the Ninth Princess, and Gu Yichun and others...the house was too deserted.

"Old Pan, go and call Old Gao, Old Feng and others, tonight I will treat you to music at the Jiaofangsi!"

Pan Yucheng was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you send Gao Ziping and Chen Chong to Lingzhou?"

Ning Chen slapped his head and almost forgot.

He sent Gao Ziping and Chen Chong to Lingzhou to pick up the Ninth Princess.

The Ninth Princess can ascend the throne directly when she returns to Beijing.

Daxuan now needs an emperor to stabilize the people's hearts.

"Then call Lao Feng, the three of us go!"

Pan Yucheng nodded.

.......

In the evening, Ning Chen and the other two changed into plain clothes and came to the Jiaofangsi.

Although Daxuan is now torn apart, the business of the Jiaofangsi is still booming.

The three of them came to the second floor.

Feng Qizhen, the beast, called a few girls to accompany him.

Ning Chen and Pan Yucheng looked bored.

It's strange, why can't they find the feeling of coming to the Jiaofangsi before.

They used to like coming to the Jiaofangsi the most.

But now, they just think the wine is tasteless.

It turns out that they don't like to come to the Jiaofangsi, but because of someone.

He is because of Yudie.

Pan Yucheng is because of Nanzhi.

"Lao Feng, you can play slowly, we will go back first!"

Ning Chen stood up, and he saw that Pan Yucheng couldn't sit still.

"Ah? I've already paid, aren't you wasting money?"

Feng Qi was wondering, it was Ning Chen who called him to come to the Jiaofangsi, and he was leaving after drinking a few glasses of wine.

Ning Chen pointed at a few girls with his chin, "They are all yours, come on... I believe that with your ability, you won't let the money go to waste."

Feng Qi was smiling lewdly, "Then I won't be polite!"

"Don't be polite, come on!"

Ning Chen left with Pan Yucheng with a smirk.

When going downstairs, he met the madam.

The madam recognized Ning Chen and her eyes widened, "Ning..."

Ning Chen made a gesture to keep quiet.

The madam understood, she lowered her voice, "Is Yudie okay?"

"Very good!"

The madam was surprised, "Are you leaving?"

Ning Chen nodded.

The madam was very nice to Yudie, so Ning Chen was very polite to her.

After chatting for a few words, Ning Chen left.

Back to Ning Mansion.

Ning Chen did not rest and began to deal with military affairs.

Although he had returned to the capital, the dog thing Emperor De left a lot of mess, and he had to clean it up.

Now, the north has been stabilized.

But there is Nanyue in the south, Emperor De in the east, and Leng Wenyan who has declared himself king in the west.

The most important thing is that Zhang Tianlun, this beast, has emptied the treasury.

Ning Chen rubbed his eyebrows and had a headache.

Only he can deal with Kang Luo.

Emperor De fled to the east, and now has more than 100,000 troops in his hands. Who should be sent to conquer?

Yuan Long is a good candidate.

But who should be sent to conquer Leng Wenyan in the west?

Ning Chen found that he was seriously short of capable generals under his command.

Suddenly, he thought of a good way to deal with Leng Wenyan.

"Old Pan, find Tan Tai Qingyue for me."

"Yes!"

Pan Yucheng outside the door responded.

After a while, Tan Tai Qingyue came.

She stared at Ning Chen with a vigilant look, because it was very late... Looking for her at this time, could it be that he had lustful intentions?

Ning Chen looked at her speechlessly, "What's with that look in your eyes?"

Tan Tai Qing Yue asked, "Why are you looking for me so late?"

"Looking for you to sleep with me."

Tan Tai Qing Yue clenched the sword in her hand, she knew that it was not a good thing to look for her so late.

Ning Chen glared at her, "Little Tan Zi, am I a lustful person in your eyes?"

Tan Tai Qing Yue shook her head, "That's not the case, but it is an indisputable fact that you are lustful."

Ning Chen said: "A horse is weak because it is thin, and a man is not romantic because he is poor... I have money, power, and good looks, and I am a normal man with a healthy body and mind. It's not too much to be a little lustful, right?"

Tan Tai Qingyue shook her head, "It's not too much... I can't control your lust, but just don't hit on me."

"Lustful, lustful... If I don't hit on you, is it still lustful?"

Tan Tai Qingyue: "......."

"Are you okay? If not, I'll leave."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "I am okay... and it's very important."

Tan Tai Qingyue looked at him and didn't say anything.

Ning Chen said: "I want to borrow troops from Xiliang."

Tan Tai Qingyue widened her eyes, "You now have hundreds of thousands of troops, and you still need to borrow troops?"

Ning Chen thought to himself, I do have hundreds of thousands of troops... but fighting is really a waste of money and labor.

"Do you know that Leng Wenyan declared himself king in Bianzhou?"

Tan Tai Qingyue nodded.

"I owe you a lot of food and grass from Xiliang. I was thinking of returning it to you recently... But the Daxuan treasury was emptied by that bastard Zhang Tianlun, and the landlord has no surplus food.

Xiao Tanzi, I plan to attack Bianzhou and ask Xiliang to send troops. We will attack from both sides. As long as we defeat Leng Wenyan, you can take away the food and grass from Bianzhou, which will be considered as my repayment to you."

Tantai Qingyue snorted, "You really have a good plan... If we take down Bianzhou, the food and grass will naturally belong to Xiliang. How can it be considered as your repayment to us?"

Ning Chen said seriously: "We will attack from both sides. If we take down Bianzhou, it will be the credit of both sides... How about this, when the time comes, you can take away all the food and grass from Bianzhou, and I will pay back half of it, okay?

I will definitely pay back the remaining half of the food and grass next year."

Tantai Qingyue fell into thought.

Ning Chen could hardly suppress the corners of his mouth, thinking that you can't leave if the Xiliang army comes.

Xiliang captured Daxuan's Xiguan City, robbed a large amount of food and grass, and then lent it to him, and had to pay it back double.

It is said that when Leng Wenyan retreated to Bianzhou, he scraped the Xiguan City three feet.

Now Xiguan City is in ruins, the city walls have collapsed, the houses in the city have been destroyed, and the people are living in poverty.

The city walls need to be rebuilt, and the houses need to be rebuilt... so he needs a lot of coolies.
