Wei and Jin cooks

Yuan Li looked up at the stars in the sky and sighed: "It's too late tonight, we can only do it tomorrow." Just in time, he had one night to think about what to do next.

Yuan Li went back to lie down and think deeply, but Zhao Hanzhang was not done yet. She also asked the radio operator to contact Zhao Ming, "Order Nanyang and Ruyang to dispatch 20,000 soldiers to station in the Huai River area and wait for orders."

The operator should exit.

Zhao Hanzhang just left, but the matter was not over yet. This was urgent and required an immediate decision. There were also things that were not urgent but important.

She planned to tell Ji Yuan and Ming Yu her decision tomorrow, so that they wouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing.

"Let Yuzhou and Yanzhou prepare for war." The next day, after the court meeting, Zhao Hanzhang left Ji Yuan and others to discuss, "Let's prepare first and see if there will be a fight this winter."

Xin Zhao was not here yesterday and was a little confused when he heard this and asked, "What did Wang Dun do?"

Ji Yuan smiled and asked, "How did Minister Zhao know it was Wang Dun?"

Zhao Xindao: "King Langya has a weak character. He will not provoke us if he can stay in a corner, but we..."

He glanced at Zhao Hanzhang and said: "The general wants stability at this time and wants to rest with the people, so he will not take the initiative to provoke."

Zhao Hanzhang raised the corners of his mouth, nodded and said: "Yes, it was Wang Dun who started it."

However, Wang Siniang and Wang Xuan were not completely careless. Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and realized that the taxes and grain were robbed. She did not report it immediately, but asked Wang Xuan to send troops and capture two cities before reporting it. Obviously, the two brothers and sisters This is forcing her to make a decision.

I just don’t know, is this the common meaning of the two of them, or is it the meaning of someone else?

Zhao Hanzhang had no intention of asking, at least, not now.

She glanced at Ji Yuan, and Ji Yuan explained to Zhao Xin and other ministers the military report they received yesterday evening, as well as some of Zhao Hanzhang's arrangements.

Xin Zhao: "The general is not worried about the courtiers who went to Jiangnan to investigate the case?"

Zhao Hanzhang said with a serious face: "They have Zhao Jiajun as their backing, even Sima Rui wouldn't dare to kill them."

Zhao Xin thought about the character of King Langya for a moment, and it was true. He nodded and then said: "But Yanzhou and Yangzhou are separated by Xuzhou. It is inconvenient after all. Do you want to hoard all the troops in Yuzhou?"

"Xuzhou..." Zhao Hanzhang tapped the table with his fingers and said: "I don't want to move to Xuzhou for the time being. Liu Kun has a very good reputation in Jiangnan. Not only the wealthy families in the north fled to the south, but also the local wealthy families in Jiangnan and Jiangdong. I admire him, and King Langya also praised him a lot. I would like to ask him to go to Yangzhou and personally persuade King Langya to return to the capital."

Xin Zhao: No wonder he is not worried about the ministers sent to investigate the case. If Liu Kun goes to Yangzhou on the back foot, King Langya will not kill those ministers even to give Liu Kun face.

She had already made a plan. If Yuan Li and Liu Kun could work together to negotiate for King Langya, then preparations for war would only be preparations for war. If they could not negotiate, she would immediately appoint Zhao Ju as Pingnan North Road General to command the military forces of Yan and Hezhou. Attacking Yangzhou from north to south, and Wang Yifeng became the general of Pingnan South Road...

She can also lead her elite troops south immediately. Since she has decided to start, she cannot delay. She must conquer Jiangnan and Jiangdong in one go to unify the world.

From her deployment, Zhao Xin saw her ambition to dominate the world, and he couldn't help but feel excited, and even straightened his back, "Then start preparing food and grass from now on?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded.

Ji Yuan glanced at Chang Ning, who was expressionless, and reminded: "Won't the general ask the minister of household affairs about the situation of the treasury?"

Zhao Hanzhang immediately looked at Chang Ning.

Chang Ning lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then clenched his fists and said: "After allocating the expenses for regulating the Yellow River next year, there is not much left in the national treasury, including the salaries of the ministers, the military pay, and the grain seeds, agricultural tools and farming equipment prepared for the states next year. Expenditures on cattle, etc., even if it is only counted in the first half of the year, the state treasury will not be able to cover its expenses."

They do not distribute grain seeds and farm tools to every household every year, but every year the court has a new task, asking localities to select grain seeds and hand them in. After seeing them at Sinong Temple, they will make some selections and arrangements, and buy them with Beidi. The No. 1 seeds were sent to the East, and the No. 2 seeds were bought from the South and sent to the West. They were mainly given to ordinary people from middle- and lower-income families. The gifts were not much, maybe only two or three kilograms per household.

The purpose is to increase the risk of disaster resistance, and seeds from different regions planted together or in adjacent places can be mated to produce new seeds, and to avoid genetic defects caused by planting the same type of seeds for too long.

After all, some wheat seeds are very prone to insect pests as they are planted, and the plants become shorter and shorter. At this time, new seeds need to be added.

People from well-off families can go to grain stores to choose and buy new grain varieties, but many civilians from poor families do not have this ability or even the awareness.

The imperial court could only do it on its behalf.

The same goes for farm tools, which are mainly given to poor families.

In fact, most people now do not have enough farm tools in their homes. Zhao Hanzhang has always wanted to increase the output of farm tools. To this end, she also directly gave drawings of various farm tools in various newspapers, allowing each county to open three iron shops. , just want more people to buy farm tools.

But there are always some people who cannot afford to buy farm tools even if they have them, so they can only support them from the court.

Farm tools will also wear out, so some funds must be allocated to each county every year to support the cost of farm tools.

In addition, some should be reserved for natural disasters and emergencies. The ministers' salaries and the army's pay cannot be saved. Zhao Hanzhang is also a little sluggish. By the way, how much money does she have in her private treasury this year?

Zhao Hanzhang was thinking about the money in his private treasury when he heard Chang Ning say: "Although it is difficult, I will try my best to raise money and see if I can squeeze out some food and grass from other places."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Chang Ning in surprise. She thought he was going to oppose her sending troops.

Chang Ning seemed to know what she was thinking, and explained: "To recover the south, it would be better to take action after two years when the national treasury is full, but now that we have started, we must fight quickly, or after the world is unified, the general can Peace of mind gives the people rest.”

Therefore, although the beating may be a little bit painful at this time, once the pain is over, you can rest assured that it will be sweet. Chang Ning said that he can bear it.

Zhao Hanzhang was so moved when he saw that he understood him so well that he almost shed tears.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but snorted when he saw this, as if they didn't support her.

Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly looked at Ji Yuan in a reassuring manner, saying that the two of them did not need more words, and everything was said without words.

Ming Yu:...

Zhao Xin shook his shoulders and touched his arms, feeling goosebumps rising. Seeing Zhao Hanzhang and others turning to look at him, he pointed outside and said, "It's cold, is it going to snow?" Bar?"

Zhao Hanzhang withdrew his gaze and glanced at the sky outside, "Since Jingzhou is not at peace, this year's grain tax will be left in Jingzhou for the time being and put into the local grain depot. There is no need to escort it to the capital for the time being."

Zhao Yunxin responded, "I will write the official document now."

It just so happens that Ji Yuan and Ming Yu are both here. It can be reviewed on site, passed on site, and then handed over to Chang Ning. It's so convenient.

Oh, I almost forgot, you still have to enter the file.
