These words are neither long nor short, and all the issues that should be considered have been taken into account.

Fighting is nothing more than the strength of the army and the strategy of the general. The rear requires a steady supply of food and grass and the weapons and equipment of the soldiers.

It boils down to people and money.

The soldiers stationed in northern Xinjiang are the main force of Ji Yucang's command. They have good soldiers and generals, and the treasury is abundant. What else is there to worry about?

Oh, right.

There is also a general.

Xie Tinglan said to Ji Mo: "The regent just said that if Mobei is not destroyed within a year, I will raise my head to see you. Please don't worry about this, King Ming. Since I can hang the head on my neck, then This battle must be won so that Mobei will no longer dare to interfere in Yong’s internal affairs.”

It doesn't matter whether he has been on the battlefield or not, what matters is that he can win this battle.

Ji Mo opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. His expression seemed a little stiff. He was silent for a moment before nodding: "My vision is too shallow. Uncle Huang is thoughtful."

The other ministers in the palace were silent.

Because after the emperor ascended the throne, he was unable to govern personally and was later placed under house arrest.

The regent made the final decision on all major government affairs and foreign affairs. When discussing family and national affairs, the civil and military officials still had room to play, but they really knew nothing about the war between the two countries.

Whether this battle should be fought or whether it can be fought, no one was the first to stand up and question it - except for the three princes who couldn't wait to take the throne.

In fact, although these three princes are older than Ji Jin, in the eyes of the regent, they are as stupid and ignorant as Ji Jin, and they don't know how much they weigh.

Ji Yucang felt it was a waste of time to even deal with them.

There is no need to discuss the war in the main hall. Ji Yucang quickly stood up and looked around the main hall: "I am well aware of the war matters. You don't have to worry too much. The Ministry of Finance is responsible for preparing the money."

After saying that, he announced the dismissal of the court, named a few officials, and went directly to Qinzheng Hall to discuss matters.

In addition to the eldest princess of Pingyao, he also summoned the left and right prime ministers, the six ministers and the left and right ministers, especially the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Several officials below the minister also came.

The eldest princess of Pingyao enters and exits the court openly and openly these days. The courtiers have long been accustomed to it. Anything that is not in line with the rules or deviant has no effect on her.

Especially since Qin Yumo was sent to the Ministry of War for training during this period, the Minister of the Ministry of War was disgusted and annoyed with her. He really wanted to frown when he saw the couple.

However, no matter how annoying she was, there was nothing she could do about it. The eldest princess often went to the Ministry of War to hang out. Supervising their work was a task given by the regent. If he wanted to resist, he had to find the right person.

Just as he was thinking this, the eunuch hurriedly walked in and reported: "The regent, the eldest princess and the prince consort have arrived."

"Let them in."

"yes."

"Is there anything the emperor has summoned me for?" Princess Pingyao swaggered into the palace, followed closely by Qin Yumo, "Let me tell the emperor first that my niece is pregnant now and cannot do rough work or wield a knife. Guns, don’t use force with others, and the adults present can’t make me angry, otherwise——”

"Your Highness." Qin Yumo reminded helplessly, "The ministers are not gods of plague. They know that His Highness is pregnant and will restrain their tempers. Your Highness does not need to worry."

The Minister of War's face turned blue. He always felt that the couple meant something, but there was no evidence to prove who they were talking about.

"I called you here to tell you that I need you to keep an eye on the Ministry of War's preparations for grain and grass." Ji Yucang said, "Xie Tinglan is in charge of the war in Northern Xinjiang. You can discuss the transportation of grain and grass with him later."

The Minister of War's expression changed, and he asked Princess Pingyao to supervise?

"Prince Regent, the Minister of War will lead the officials to handle the matter. The eldest princess is pregnant, or--"

"Since Lord Shangshu knows that I am pregnant, just be careful and don't make this princess unhappy." Princess Pingyao said, "Although you are good at preparing food and fodder, I am not a fool. And it matters. To put it bluntly, the war is related to the survival of the country, and there is no room for negligence. We are supervising each other, and there is no need to refuse, Mr. Shangshu. "

After saying this, she ignored the expression of the Minister of War, but turned to look at Ji Yucang: "Uncle, are you sure you are not joking? Do you really want to attack Mobei?"

Is it a little too early?

"Prince Mobei has put his hand into Yong's internal affairs, and I can't tolerate it." Ji Yucang said coldly, "They must be taught a lesson."

The eldest princess of Pingyao was silent for a moment and couldn't help but curse. If you want to attack Mobei, just say so.

This reason is really far-fetched.

"This matter has been decided." Ji Yucang waved his hand, "Princess Pingyao is responsible for the army's reserve food and grass issues. If the war situation is delayed because of the lack of food and grass, you will be fully responsible."

The eldest princess of Pingyao was silent for a long time. She was sure that Ji Yucang was not joking, so she could only nod in agreement: "Yes."

The Minister of the Ministry of War had an ugly face. He couldn't help but wonder if the regent had deliberately brought the eldest princess of Pingyao to the Ministry of Justice to suppress him. Otherwise, who princess could participate in government affairs so openly?

It doesn’t stop when I’m pregnant.

And who doesn’t know about Princess Pingyao’s selfish intentions? Do you want Qin Yumo to gain a foothold in the Ministry of War so that he can replace him in the future?

dream.

"Prince Regent, there is a shortage of money in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and there may be some problems in raising grain and grass." The Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs expressed embarrassment, "If Xie Chengcheng really only wants to fight for a year and a half, everything will be easy to say, but the war will drag on. The longer the time goes by, the money from the treasury will continue to flow out like running water, and it will not be able to sustain it for two or three years..."

"So Master Shangshu now needs to raise money in advance." Princess Pingyao interrupted him, "Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and no one is sure whether it will be the end of a year or half a year. The officials of the Yong Kingdom are all wealthy. Let them take out some money. If anyone is unwilling to take it, I don’t mind raiding their houses to see who has the most money.”

The eldest princess of Pingyao did not believe that the national treasury had no money, but since the Ministry of Revenue was crying about poverty, she could only act according to the poverty-stricken method.

Nine out of ten people who serve as officials in the government are corrupt. It's just a matter of too much or too little. She really wants to investigate. Is this official afraid of who dares to pat his chest and say that he has a clear conscience?

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several ministers and ministers present changed.
