My wife is number one in the world

When Liu Mingzhi uttered the words "You're wrong, it's not a thousand taels," the expression on the little cutie's beautiful face instantly changed.

If it weren't for Zheng Jizhong and his group watching nearby, and the need to maintain her image, she would have almost jumped up in anger at Young Master Liu's words.

Good! Good! My own damn old man is actually starting to renege on his debts.

However, before she was sure that her father really wanted to renege on his debt, a faint smile immediately bloomed on Xiao Ke's beautiful face.

As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry; what if you misunderstood something?
The little cutie parted her cherry lips slightly and took a breath, quickly calming herself down.

"Good father, what do you mean by that?"
"Um, um, you're not trying to renege on your debt to me, are you?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ke'ai's words, Zheng Jizhong and the others all looked at Young Master Liu with slightly strange expressions.

"Well, speaking of which, His Majesty isn't really going to renege on his debt to the Fourth Princess, is he?"

When Liu Mingzhi heard the little cutie asking him a question in her sweet voice, and felt the slightly strange looks from Zheng Jizhong and the others, he immediately shook his head gently at the little cutie with a cheerful smile.

"Hahaha, my dear daughter, what are you thinking about!"

"It's just a mere thousand taels of silver; why would I, as your father, renege on my debt?"

Hearing Young Master Liu's cheerful reply, the girl's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and the smile on her beautiful face instantly became even brighter.

"Good father, what did you mean by what you just said?"

"I'm a bit slow-witted, so I'd appreciate it if you, my good father, could enlighten me."

As soon as Young Master Liu finished his cheerful reply to Little Cutie, the slightly strange looks that Zheng Jizhong and his group had given each other earlier were replaced by a hint of curiosity.

Liu Mingzhi casually untied the wine pouch from his waist, gently pulled out the cork, and put it directly into his mouth.

"Gudu!"

"Gudu!"

After taking two large gulps of fine wine, Young Master Liu sipped the wine from the corner of his mouth and slowly turned to look at the breeding camp a few miles away.

"My dear daughter, the views you just shared were so good, far exceeding my expectations."

Therefore, I, as your father, have decided to increase the amount from one thousand taels of silver to two thousand taels of silver.

When the little girl heard her father say that he would turn one thousand taels of silver into two thousand taels, she felt her body and mind instantly enveloped by a strong sense of happiness.

"How...how much? Good father, Yue'er didn't hear me clearly just now, please tell me again, how much silver?"

Liu Mingzhi tilted his head slightly to look at the little cutie, and uttered five words softly with a smile.

"Two thousand taels of silver!"

Upon hearing her father's resounding reply, the little cutie immediately raised her slender arms and jumped up vigorously.

"Long live."

"Long live Father! Long live Father! Long live Father!"

Seeing the little cutie's jubilant expression, Liu Mingzhi shook his head slightly, feigning annoyance.

"Alright, alright, it's just two thousand taels of silver, why are you so happy?"

Those who know what happened know that you received two thousand taels of silver.

Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd received twenty thousand taels of silver just by looking at you like that!

The little cutie slowly lowered her long, slender arms that she had been holding up, and looked at Young Master Liu with a smile, saying in a sweet voice, "Good father, you make it sound so easy, but two thousand taels of silver is still money!"

Besides, two thousand taels of silver is a lot of money, isn't it?

You should know, this money is almost equivalent to my entire year's salary.

Hearing his beloved daughter speak so earnestly, Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded gently.

"Yes! If we're being serious, two thousand taels of silver is a lot of money."

So, you'd better be more careful with your money in the future!

When the little cutie heard her father advising her to be more frugal with money in the future, she immediately spoke up and retorted in a sweet voice.

“Good father, if I may be so bold as to say something, what you just said is quite wrong.”

"Oh? My dear daughter, how could my words be wrong?" After hearing his daughter's sweet rebuttal, Liu Mingzhi looked at his little darling with interest and asked softly.

The little cutie casually pulled off the stopper on the wine flask, lifted it up, put it to her mouth, took a small sip of the wine, and then happily lifted her lotus feet and took two small steps forward.

"Good father, back in the day you served as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in our Great Dragon Dynasty!"

Therefore, dear father, you should know very well that gold, silver, and copper coins can only be called money when they circulate among each other.

If everyone hoards their money and doesn't spend it, where will the government's taxes come from?

If there is no silver in the national treasury, how will the salaries of our Great Dragon Dynasty officials be paid? How will the wages of the soldiers be paid? Where will the disaster relief funds be allocated in times of natural disasters and man-made calamities?

As for the common people of the world, needless to say.

In the short term, they can still barter with each other, but what if this continues in the long run?
Good father, only when the rich spend more and more money will the common people's wealth become thicker and thicker, and when their wealth becomes thicker and thicker, their lives will naturally become better and better.

So, even though I've spent a lot of money, it's not because I'm a spendthrift, but because I hope that the lives of ordinary people around the world can get better and better.

Good father, as the fourth princess of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, I hope that the people under our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty can live better and better. What's wrong with that?

Hmm? What's wrong with that?
Therefore, Yue'er, did I say something wrong, Father, that what you said earlier was incorrect?

After the little cutie finished her well-reasoned rebuttal, no one could find a single fault with it.

Even Liu Mingzhi had to admit that his beloved daughter's words were truly excellent.

Liu Mingzhi smacked his lips lightly twice, silently withdrew his gaze from the distant breeding camp, and turned around with a smile to look at Zheng Jizhong and his group.

"General, brothers."

"What are your thoughts after hearing Yue'er's long-winded rebuttal to me?"

When Zheng Jizhong and his group saw that Young Master Liu had suddenly turned the topic to them, their expressions involuntarily froze slightly.

Immediately afterward, the group exchanged bewildered glances. Finally, Zhang Yao and the rest of the group all turned their gazes to Zheng Jizhong.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Jizhong's lips twitched slightly, and he had no choice but to raise his hands and bow slightly to Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, this old minister believes that what the Fourth Princess said just now is actually very reasonable."

As the princess just said, money can only be called money when it circulates among people.

In my humble opinion, as long as one's own circumstances allow, and as long as the money in hand is spent wisely and not wasted for no reason, then spending a little more money is not a big problem.

After all, once the money is spent, it can be exchanged for all sorts of supplies.

This means that the money spent and the goods purchased with that money are actually equivalent.

Therefore, this old minister seconded the Fourth Princess's words just now.

As soon as Zheng Jizhong finished speaking, Zhang Yaohe, Li Zhihai, Lü Sanlin and the others exchanged glances and immediately chimed in agreement.

"Your Majesty, the old general is right, we agree."

After listening to Zheng Jizhong's loud reply and hearing the unanimous agreement from the others, Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly with a smile.

Immediately, he turned slightly to the side and turned his gaze to the little cutie's stunningly beautiful face.

"Yue'er."

Upon hearing the sound, the little cutie immediately turned her fair and slender neck to look at her father.

"Hey, is Yue'er here, Father?"

Looking at his little darling who had turned to face him, Liu Mingzhi said loudly with an unchanged smile, "My dear daughter, it's now worth three thousand taels of silver."

Upon hearing what her father said, the little cutie immediately cheered and jumped for joy once again.

"Long live Father! Long live Father! Long live Father! Long live Father! Long live Father!"

Seeing the little cutie's joyful reaction, Liu Mingzhi simply raised his right arm and waved casually before turning his gaze to Zheng Jizhong.

"General, regarding the topic we discussed earlier about how I asked you to teach those children the art of war, the views that Yue'er just shared are also my own thoughts."

General, after listening to the questions Yue'er asked you and her final summary, I imagine you have different thoughts now.

Now, I'll ask you one more time.

"General, regarding my instruction to carefully teach those children the art of war, do you have any other questions?"

Zheng Jizhong glanced at the little cutie slightly, then immediately raised his hands solemnly and gave Young Master Liu a heavy fist salute.

"Your Majesty, this old minister has no other questions."

This old minister is ashamed; my previous thoughts were far too short-sighted.

As Zheng Jizhong spoke solemnly, he suddenly turned around and gave the smiling little cutie a big fist bump.

"Your Highness is wise; this old minister has learned much."

Seeing this, the little cutie immediately raised her slender arm and waved gently at Zheng Jizhong.

"General, you flatter me, you flatter me."

After taking a big gulp of wine from the wine flask in his hand, Liu Mingzhi gently sipped the wine from his lips and slowly turned his head with a smile to glance at Zhang Yao and his group.

"Brothers, what about you? Do you have any other questions?"

When Zhang Yao and his group heard Young Master Liu ask them a question, they all immediately shook their heads in unison.

"Your Majesty, we have no further questions."

Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly with a smile, then turned around and looked back at the breeding camp a few miles away.

"General, are all the livestock raised in the breeding camp fed with grain and fodder?"

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's question, Zheng Jizhong immediately got up and walked over to Young Master Liu's side.

"Your Majesty, that is not the case."

The livestock in the camp needed to be fed with grain and various kinds of fodder, and at the same time, they had to be driven out to find the food they needed on their own.

If they were fed only grain and fodder, the energy expenditure would be enormous.

Liu Mingzhi nodded knowingly, then gazed calmly at the breeding camp a few miles away and fell silent.

Little Cutie, Zheng Jizhong and the others saw Liu Mingzhi's silent appearance and silently looked towards the distant breeding camp.

After a long while, Young Master Liu silently withdrew his gaze from the distant camp and stretched his body vigorously with both arms outstretched.

"General, brothers, it's getting late. The second batch of soldiers should have already started eating lunch."

"I'm getting a bit hungry too. Let's go back to the camp for lunch."

Upon hearing what Young Master Liu said, Zheng Jizhong hesitated slightly and asked softly, "Your Majesty, um, if this old minister dares to ask, aren't you and Her Highness the Princess going to take a look at the breeding camp ahead?"

Liu Mingzhi casually hung the wine flask, which had already been corked, back on his waist and shook his head gently with a smile.

"General, no need. I believe in your abilities, as do I believe in the abilities of the Duke of Protectorate, the Duke of Yong'an, and their group."

You, the main generals, have already considered everything so thoroughly. Whether I, this young master, go to the camp at the front or not doesn't really make much difference.

It's getting late, let's go to the main camp for lunch!

As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, without waiting for Zheng Jizhong's reply, he set off directly towards the military camp ahead.

Seeing this, Zheng Jizhong quickly cupped his hands slightly to Liu Dashao, who had already set off.

"Your Majesty is holy."

After quickly putting his hands down, Zheng Jizhong immediately started walking forward.

Immediately, while discreetly observing Young Master Liu and his daughter Xiao Ke'ai walking ahead, he quickly moved closer to Lü Sanlin.

"Sanlin." (End of Chapter)
