Other than Qin Qiong, all the generals were staring at Qin Yu with a faint gaze.
Qin Yu saw the desire in it clearly.
After all, to a general, battle merits were extremely important.
However, there had been fewer battles in the past two years, so it was difficult for them to find opportunities to make contributions.
But this time, leaving Annan was different.
First, they needed a general to lead them.
Second, there was no need to fight, only to exchange food for escort.
But this matter concerned the Great Tang, and as long as he could go and return safely, he would have accomplished a great service.
Such a good thing could only be encountered by chance.
Who didn't want to go?
However, the decision on who could go was actually given to Qin Yu by Second Emperor Li.
This was also the reason why they looked at Qin Yu.
It could be said that Qin Yu's words determined the ownership of this credit.
As for Qin Qiong, she naturally wanted to.
However, Qin Yu was his nephew. He needed to avoid suspicion in everything, so he could only endure that desire.
Qin Yu did not dampen anyone's appetite. He only glanced around and said with a smile,"Your Majesty asked me who is the most suitable, so I naturally recommended my uncle.”
Qin Yu's words stunned everyone. Someone sighed to himself.
Li Er chuckled and said,"You really don't know how to avoid suspicion."”
Qin Yu smiled." We should not avoid relatives when recommending talents. Moreover, Duke Yi has been recuperating for many years. It's time for him to come out and take a walk."”
Li Er looked deeply at Qin Yu and nodded slowly. He said,""What a good way to recommend talents without avoiding relatives.”
Then, he turned his head and said,"Duke Yi."”
"Your subject is here." Qin Qiong hurriedly stood up.
"I order you to be the general manager of the army and be fully responsible for Annan's affairs," said Li Er.”
"I will obey." Qin Qiong's words trembled, and he was naturally excited.
"Yes." Li Er nodded slowly. He thought for a moment and looked at Qin Yu."If Zhen asked you to recommend two more adjutants, would you recommend Duke Lu and Duke E?”
Duke Cheng of Lu bit gold.
Duke of Ezhou, Yuchi Gong.
Qin Yu nodded without hesitation and said,""After all, they are the most familiar with me.”
"Did you hear that?"
Li Er looked at Cheng Yaojin and the other man.
Cheng Yaojin chuckled and said,"Your Majesty, it's not because we're familiar with each other. It's because Qin Yu knows that I, Old Cheng, am reliable."”
"I don't know if Old Cheng is reliable or not, but I can supervise him." Yuchi Gong grinned.”
"Tsk..." Cheng Yaojin suddenly shouted, waiting for Yuchi Gong to shout,"Foolish Yuchi, you want to supervise me? Are you looking for a beating?”
"Why?" Yuchi Gong also glared and shouted,""Don't you know what you look like?”
"Wahhh…" Cheng Yaojin cried out…
Li Er waved his hand impatiently and said,"Alright, alright, don't make a fuss. Zhen is annoyed.”
In an instant, the two of them sat upright and looked straight ahead.
Li Er snorted and said,"In that case, you two will be deputy generals and go together."”
Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Hehe…Haha…"
The other generals felt helpless. Other than regret, there was nothing else they could do.
This opportunity to make a contribution had passed by just like that.
Alas, in a trance...
Li Er nodded slowly. He thought for a moment and said,"This matter is settled. You can prepare tomorrow. You only need to bring 20,000 soldiers with you.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Yes." Li Er looked at Qin Yu and said,"Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"”
Qin Yu thought for a moment and said," It's nothing. I'm just going to get some poisonous insects. I just need to bring some medicine." After that, he would exchange as much as he could and bring back as much as he could. Although the rice of Annan had some shortcomings, the most important thing was to make people full.”
Qin Yu's words stunned everyone.
"What weakness?" Li Er asked quickly.”
Qin Yu grinned and said,"It's three-season rice. It's not very delicious."”
Everyone was speechless.
There was nothing to eat, so who would care if it was delicious or not?
Qin Yu thought for a moment and continued,"As for Your Majesty, send someone to post a notice that locusts can be eaten tomorrow morning."”
Li Er smiled and said,"Don't worry, tonight Zhen will send someone out to post it.”
Why was he in such a hurry?
Qin Yu was stunned. Then, she thought about it and nodded.
On the side, the civil officials who had been watching from the sidelines were deep in thought.
"Your Majesty, even if the rice from Annan can help with the disaster relief, it's a long journey," Fang Xuanling said."I don't know when we'll be back." Moreover, the Great Tang had many people. Would the rice they brought back be enough?”
Li Er did not speak but looked at Qin Yu.
At this moment, although Qin Yu was only eight years old, he had already become a figure like a think tank.
At the very least, everyone was listening to his opinion on locust control and disaster relief.
"Of course not," Qin Yu said matter-of-factly."Besides, it's not certain if we can make it back in time.”
"What?"
"Then if there is a famine, the Imperial Court has no rice, and the Annan rice can't be returned in time, won't it be the same as not going?”
Everyone looked at Qin Yu in surprise.
Qin Yu smiled slightly and said,""Before Annan returns, of course we have to get some more food. Didn't I say that there will be a donation in a few days?”
Everyone was speechless.
They looked at Qin Yu strangely as if they were saying, how could such a smart child come up with such a stupid idea?
Donate money?
Who would donate…
Qin Yu liked to see them being so ignorant!
