Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

"Send a general to march eastward? In other words, Xuan Lang, you don't plan to go out in person, right? That's fine, there's no use in killing a chicken with an ox's knife. It's really not difficult to pacify Liaodong."

After Yu Hongshang nodded slightly, she frowned again, "But if we want to immigrate to reclaim wasteland, there may still be a shortage of food."

The gap is actually not big. People can still get through it if they eat less.

But this year is Yu Youxun's first year on the throne and her first year in power. Yu Hongshang doesn't want the situation to get to this point.

Li Xuan's expression was calm and composed: "You can buy gaps from the countries in Nanyang. Although our Jin Dynasty has banned the sea, the maritime trade in Nanyang is actually prosperous. Apart from spices and medicinal materials, there are not many goods in Nanyang that can be used by the Central Plains, so Most of the cabins returned are empty. In addition, it is also possible to use rice bags to ballast the cabin, as long as there is a proper way to avoid the tide.

The country of Cochin is rich in fields, with a lot of surplus grain every year, and the price of rice is extremely low. Didn't Yu Shaobao donate 20 million taels to the court? I intend to use half of it to buy grain from Cochin. "

Yu Hongshang was stunned for a while: "Ten million taels? You don't need that much, right?"

She knew that rice was indeed abundant in Jiaozhi, but the annual surplus was not much, because even if there was too much rice, it could not be eaten.

And the rice there is also very cheap, it is said that it is less than one-seventh of the price of Jiangnan rice.

Ten million taels is enough to buy up two rounds of Jiaozhi's surplus grain.

"Of course I'm not just buying food." Li Xuan's eyes flashed with surprise: "It's also to help Duanluchuan Si's chieftain. What if there is a wind disaster in Nanyang this year or next year?"

"Wind disaster?" Yu Hongshang was smart and could draw inferences from one instance and understood immediately: "So that's it, are you using Guan Zhong's technique of breeding goods?"

The legendary Guanzi used the method of colonization to destroy the human country.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, when the State of Yue destroyed Wu, they also focused on food.

Li Xuan said in an uncertain tone: "I'm just trying it a little bit. After the cold wave starts, the weather in the south is likely to change abnormally. But whether a wind disaster will break out, I'm not sure, to what extent the storm will be, and whether it will happen." I can't predict the disaster that will happen to Jiaozhi.

But there is no loss in buying these grains, which is better than using them by the Cochin people to aid Si's toast. By the way, speaking of storm disasters, Hongshang, you can issue an order to the coastal areas to remind people to beware of storms. "

According to later research, cold air from the north and cold ocean currents moving southward will increase the probability of tropical storms.

But Li Xuan doesn't know what the situation is in this world.

But as he said, you won't lose much by buying these grains.

Yu Hongshang, on the other hand, looked surprised and thought that if a storm really broke out in Nanyang, she might as well use magic to help.

There are so many magicians in the Jin Dynasty nowadays. It is better to let this storm go to Jiaozhi than to cause trouble on the southeast coast.

Then Yu Hongshang changed the subject: "Enke is approaching and I haven't thought of a topic yet. Do you have any suggestions, Xuan Lang?"

——In fact, she just wanted Li Xuan to write the question. She knew that Li Xuan's foundation among the civil servants of the Jin Dynasty was very weak.

Li Xuan immediately looked solemn: "Let me come up with a question from the Book of Changes, 'To the people of the world, gather the goods of the world, trade and withdraw, everyone gets what he has'! There is also a strategy question, "Book of Rites: Kingship" says, 'The tombs control the state's use' "Must be at the end of the year. All grains will be used; then the country will use them; live within your means." Please try to discuss the way of managing the country's finances.

Speaking of financial management, I also want to add a few arithmetic questions to this year's imperial examination. The questions will be chosen from "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and the proportion must account for 20%. "

He actually wanted to increase the proportion of arithmetic in the imperial examination. What does it sound like for an official who doesn't even understand basic arithmetic?

But for now, we can only take it step by step. If we take too big a step, we will be in trouble.

In the future, it will not be so easy for those scholars to recruit people. Li Xuan is preparing to publish a book called "Elementary Mathematics". It brings together all the mathematics knowledge from elementary school and junior high school in his memory.

Readers who have not studied this book in depth will not be able to stand out in future exams at all levels.

Yu Hongshang nodded slightly: "What about the imperial examination?"

Li Xuan thought that it was still early for the imperial examination, but after thinking about it, he still said in a solemn voice: "Marquis Wu did not have the intention to apply for business, but used his skills, and Duke Jing used the fact that he applied for business but concealed his name."

"Shen Shang?" Yu Hongshang's pupils narrowed slightly. She knew that the so-called Shen Shang was Shen Buhai, who presided over the reform in Korea, and Shang Yang, who was responsible for the reform in Qin.

Wuhou refers to Zhuge Wuhou, and Jinggong refers to Wang Jinggong and Wang Anshi.

Just on this topic, she knew Li Xuan's thoughts clearly.

At this time, Li Xuan finally noticed Yu Hongshang, but this time he did not hold Yu You over.

He couldn't help but feel slightly surprised: "Where is the child? Where do you put it?"

Yu Hongshang's cheeks turned slightly red for some unknown reason: "Today I happened to summon your mother to the palace to talk. When I heard that you were back, I left Youkun in the care of your mother and rushed over to find you."

Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking that Yu Hongshang was really relieved about his mother.

He knew that Yu Hongshang valued the emperor very seriously and never relied on others. Even her mother, Concubine Hang, did not trust him.

But then Li Xuan realized something, and his breathing became heavier.

At this time, in the deep palace of the Forbidden City, Mrs. Liu was holding Xiao Yuyou with a confused look on her face. She thought to herself that the Princess of the Supervisory Kingdom was really capable of throwing the little emperor into her arms, leaving her deep in the palace, and going to find Li Xuan alone? What is this thing called?

At this time, Leng Yurou, who was beside Mrs. Liu and who had entered the palace with her, looked at Yu Youxun in Mrs. Liu's arms with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

"Mother, do you think this little emperor looks a bit like Li Xuan when he was a child?"

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a while, and looked at the infant Yu Youxuan carefully, and then thought that they were not just a little alike, but extremely similar!

But how is this possible?

Didn't it mean that this little emperor was the posthumous son adopted by the Duanhe Wang family?

Ms. Liu thought that she must have seen it wrong. She must have wanted her grandson too much. It was an illusion, an illusion——

※※※※

Li Xuan and Yu Hongshang were discussing state affairs in the imperial palace, forgetting to sleep and eat, completely forgetting themselves.

Unfortunately, Yu Hongshang had some worries and had to rush back to the palace in the afternoon.

Li Xuan also rode back to the capital. Along the way, he kept looking at his hands with a hint of confusion on his face.

Dugu Biluo next to her was a little strange. She faintly heard Li Xuan muttering to himself: "That's wrong, why has it become smaller again? It looked bigger than it does now."

Dugu Biluo looked puzzled: "My lord, what are you talking about? What's too big or too small?"

"You don't understand the national affairs."

Li Xuan shook his head and sped up his return to Beijing.

The third place he wants to go next is the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, where there are a lot of affairs waiting for him to deal with.

Especially the personnel of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion——

Three months after Li Xuan left the capital, the area where moths appeared the most was not the civilian officials, but the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.

Despite the previous incident of seizing the palace, the imperial court had already severely purged the Northern Guard Army and the Beijing Camp under the auspices of him and Young Master Yu Jie.

But there is still no peace in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. In the past few months, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion has been delaying, shirk-passing, taking bribes, overstaffing, and even violating military affairs.

But this time, it was not from the generals, but from many officials of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

Those northern generals, including Jing Nan, had been killed by him to the point of fear.

Since the incident of seizing the palace, a total of three thousand heads have been killed in the army. Coupled with Li Xuan's high reputation in the army and his amazing record, few in the army dare to make mistakes.

But the civil servants in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army remained the same.

They are actually in charge of various affairs of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, but the vast majority of them have not yet realized the change in the direction of the wind. Or you may be aware of it, but resist it.

Li Xuan had even cleaned up the generals in the north, so naturally he would not get used to these swordsmen and pen officials.

However, not long after Li Xuan arrived at the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, Leng Yurou came to the door.

After she came out of the palace, she went directly to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to look for Li Xuan.

What surprised Li Xuan was that after Leng Yurou arrived, she looked at his face steadily and didn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Li Xuan touched his face in confusion: "Is there nothing on my face?"

He wondered if he had become more handsome after his cultivation had increased? Or not seeing each other for three months, like three autumns?

Leng Yurou thought about little Yu Youxun in the palace, and finally gave up her plan to speak.

She thought the matter was serious and it was better not to tell Li Xuande before it was confirmed.

What if she misunderstood? Neither she nor Mrs. Liu can afford the consequences.

Moreover, it was impossible no matter how Leng Yurou thought about it, how could Emperor Jingtai let Li Xuan's child inherit the throne of the Jin Dynasty?

And the royal gold book and jade certificate are not easy to fool either.

Although the prince's direct descendant and the princess's son are both of royal blood, there are still some differences, which can be discerned through the golden book and jade certificate.

"Nothing." Leng Yurou shook her head, then took out a stack of rice paper: "Look at this."

"What's this?"

Li Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. After taking it, he found that it was indeed a list.

Part of it is the money needed to build factories, including two small blast furnace ironworks, four equipment processing factories, a weaving factory with 500 machines, a silk reeling factory with 500 machines, and a silk machine of corresponding size. factory.

Part of it was a list of various supplies, which was so dense that Li Xuan felt dizzy after just one glance.

Finally, he looked at the total price, okay! More than 20 million taels.

Li Xuan couldn't help but rub his forehead with a headache: "More than 20 million? Leng Yurou, you might as well grab it."

Leng Yurou looked calm and confident: "These factories, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, are joint ventures between our Artifact Alliance and you, young master. Young Master, you hold 80% of the shares, and our Artifact Alliance provides the technology and helps you with training. You To promote these equipment factories, we have to build some demonstration factories first, right? But our Artifact Alliance has no funds. My sister-in-law also said that if these factories are built and run by her, she is expected to make money back in two or three years.

As for the latter things, they are used for pre-research of materials. Don’t you want me to build steamships and battleships in the clouds, and try to keep the price as low as possible? Then you have to work hard on the materials. After these materials are developed, you can also take a commission in the future. "

Li Xuan's face twitched, but then he picked up the pen and increased the output of the weaving factory, silk reeling factory and silk machine factory to 1,500 units: "You can get these money and supplies from Dugu Biluo later. It's best to Just use it sparingly."

The corners of Leng Yurou's lips raised slightly: "By the way, the puppet Dharma Body you asked me to create has been completed. Do you want to take a look now?"

She raised her hand, took out an iron coffin from the Qiankun Bag, and placed it in front of Li Xuan.

Li Xuan suddenly raised his eyebrows, showing interest.
