Royal Palace, South Study.

King Wei held a cup of tea and looked at Lei Shaoxuan who was kneeling on one foot without saying a word.

The teacup rose with curling water vapor, obscuring the face of King Wei.

"Hmph!" King Wei snorted.

"Audacious, reckless! Participating in the prince's seizure of the heir, are you afraid that you will not die fast enough?" King Wei shouted, "Is the ability of the Guozi superintendent to fight for power and profit? The front foot has just pardoned the Gongsun family for the crime of rebellion against Zhulian, and the back foot has stepped into the whirlpool again, and the death row prisoner is really not afraid of death?"

Seeing the angry look on King Wei's face, Lei Shaoxuan's heart sank, his forehead was slightly soaked with sweat, and he didn't dare to speak.

"Zhang'er asked for a meeting yesterday and proposed to set up a logistics line, and then the prince and Tai'er played one by one, agreeing and suggesting that Zhang'er be the chief inspector of logistics. In the past, it was a needle, and the three of them had to fight to die and live, even if they couldn't get it, they would never let others get it. ”

King Wei looked straight at Lei Shaoxuan, and said coldly: "Now in the face of the golden mountain of the chief inspector of logistics, on the contrary, he does not fight or grab, and surprisingly unanimously gives in, if there is no one to coordinate in series, how can such a situation occur?

Lei Shaoxuan secretly thought, this matter is going to be bad!

Yuan Wenbo once specially told Lei Shaoxuan about the emperor's mental technique.

All emperors hate courtiers forming factions. However, the so-called no faction in the court, there are thousands of strange things, where there is a court, there are gangs, since ancient times, the emperor has no choice but to let it go.

However, the emperor could not tolerate the lobbying of princes, let alone the collusion between princes. The prince series is the source of the troubled country, just like digging the root of the emperor. How can we tolerate the act of cutting off the roots?

"It's your king's fault!" Lei Shaoxuan said aggrievedly.

When King Wei heard this, he almost exploded his lungs, "Blame this king?"

"The lower official is humble, and when he goes to the door of the prince's mansion, even if he stuffs silver, the porter will not give a report easily, and if he can't enter the door, how can he connect with him? As a five-grade official, if he throws a brick on Xijing Street, he can kill several of them, how can the prince put the five-grade official in his eyes? Let alone listen to the words of the lower official. If you don't listen to the words of the subordinates, how can you coordinate?"

Hearing this, King Wei's face softened.

"A few days ago, the sixth prince didn't know where to know, when the south study was deliberating, the lower official put forward the logistics system, and he was very interested, so he came to the door to inquire, and the lower official explained in detail. ”

Lei Shaoxuan stubbornly said: "This is strange, blame the king for not keeping secrets strictly. The content of the discussion in the south study room has spread all over the capital, how is it different from the enemy?"

The corners of King Wei's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth with hatred. The rivers and mountains are all Lao Tzu, who do you want to give to whom, and you can use the enemy?

Then he woke up, how could he send the country?

My heart is a little empty, and I really blame this kid for something.

"The three princes played at the same time, and they were the rare brothers and friends among the princes, how fortunate they were! This can also be said to be a series of friends? That can only be blamed on the king's lax discipline. ”

King Wei was dumbfounded.

The three princes are connected in tandem, and this kid must not be able to get out of it! However, with a few words, he pushed his guilt away, and it became the sin of King Wei.

At this time, King Wei finally understood one thing, arguing with Lei Shaoxuan, he must not let him speak, otherwise he will definitely be angry to death!

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, cut off your tongue!" King Wei said hatefully.

"King, the matter of logistics support is related to the plan of the southern expedition, so it is better to let the lower officials talk about it in detail. Lei Shaoxuan cautiously diverted the topic.

King Wei nodded. In fact, the original intention of the summons in the south study this time was to listen to Lei Shaoxuan's plan.

The map was spread out, and Lei Shaoxuan pointed to the map, "King, please take a look." ”

"According to the original southern expedition plan, after crossing the Heng River, we must concentrate on consolidating the occupied areas and subduing the people's hearts

Advance slowly, this plan is safe, and avoid the intervention of Eastern Qi and Wu. ”

Lei Shaoxuan said: "South Vietnam's politics are extremely high, and the situation has always been stable, and the root cause of this is that South Vietnam is rich in products. Although the wealthy families of the government levied violently, the people could still barely maintain food and clothing. South Vietnam has stood for hundreds of years, and it is difficult to win the hearts of the people, unless the people fall into a desperate situation, let them be poor, and the people will seek change and accept the new dynasty of our country. ”

King Wei's eyes flashed, and his heart moved, but he was still a little skeptical.

It is easy to say that the people of a country and a city are in a desperate situation, but it is not easy to do.

You can't burn, kill, or rob all of them, right? If you really want to burn, kill, and rob, how can you still win over the people's hearts? It's almost the same to suppress hatred.

"The people were born with only two words, 'food' and 'clothing'. If you can't afford to wear, people's hearts will fluctuate, and if you can't eat, you will raise the flag and rebel. I have a plan to put the people of South Vietnam in a desperate situation......"

Before the words fell, Lei Shaoxuan's heart was full of alarms, and the roar in his ears continued, as if there were bursts of yin thunder, the yin wind roared, his eyes were dark, like falling into a dark ice cave, and his body stiffened in an instant, and his body was like a clay sculpture.

"......" Lei Shaoxuan's mind was blank, and he muttered, "Kill ......"

"Kill ......"

"What did you say?" King Wei's voice came slowly, waking Lei Shaoxuan up.

"I have a plan. Lei Shaoxuan said with difficulty.

smiled bitterly in his heart, he made his own plan, for the sake of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it greatly damaged Yin morality, and he would be punished by heaven, and he would not know whether it would be five thunders or broken corpses in the future.

No wonder the so-called famous ministers through the ages since ancient times have not died well. Suddenly frightened, if he didn't die well, he would never be able to affect his mother, younger siblings and Zhang Qianhua.

Since then, Lei Shaoxuan has secretly made up his mind not to take the slightest benefit from the Northern Wei Dynasty and South Vietnam.

Lei Shaoxuan pointed to the map and said to King Wei: "Your Majesty, please see, Beichuan County has convenient transportation, waterways extend in all directions, extending to Nanyue and reaching Wu Kingdom. ”

"Although South Vietnam is small, it is the granary of the world, but it is the abundant grain production that the price is low, and as long as you take out 50 million taels of silver, you can monopolize the grain market. ”

"You want to monopolize the grain market in South Vietnam, so that South Vietnam has no food to eat and starves to death for the people?" King Wei was taken aback, and finally understood what Lei Shaoxuan meant.

The back is slightly soaked, this plan is too vicious!

After a moment of silence, King Wei shook his head, "This plan is not feasible. After purchasing a certain amount of grain, grain prices will inevitably soar, and it will be profitable to store grain, and many grain merchants in South Vietnam will also participate in it.

"Fifty million taels of silver are not used to buy grain, but to be used for loss. ”

Lei Shaoxuan said confidently, "Secretly organized the grain merchants of the Northern Wei Dynasty, purchased grain at a high price, sold it at a low price, lost 50 million taels of silver, completely defeated the grain merchants of South Vietnam, and occupied the grain market of South Vietnam." This is the first step. ”

"The second step is to keep food prices low for grain traders. Low grain prices make the people unwilling to store grain, leading to all surplus grain, and at a critical time, all the grain is secretly destroyed, there is no grain to sell, there is no surplus grain, and the people will inevitably fall into a desperate situation. ”

King Wei pondered for a moment and said, "This plan is still insufficient. Grain strategic materials, in wartime, if necessary, the South Vietnamese imperial court will inevitably implement military management, as long as the military warehouse is opened to release grain, save some food, can always survive until the next season of new grain mature. ”

"What if the grain can't be ripe next season?" Lei Shaoxuan chuckled, "It's not that it can't ripen, but it's out of production?"

Lei Shaoxuan continued: "The grain seeds of South Vietnam are all official warehouses and cannot be used to do anything, but the seeds are selected and supplied by the three largest grain merchants in South Vietnam. ”

King Wei was terrified.

There is no surplus grain, and the grain production will be extinct in the coming year, not to mention South Vietnam, even the Northern Wei Dynasty will completely collapse.

"South Vietnam must not be allowed to know the background of our grain merchants

The line is extremely high, do you have any alternative firms?"

A large trading house cannot be built overnight.

Lei Shaoxuan nodded.

After several death row prisoners returned to Beichuan, they set up several commercial houses, including logistics, business names, and money villages, and their business has extended to mainland countries. The formation of a logistical support line to provide material for the whole army's southern expedition on the surface was also to set a goal and attract the attention of South Vietnam. ”

Lei Shaoxuan explained: "Several major business companies acted in secret, pretending to be profiteers who specialize in war, national disasters, and wealth, so as to reduce the attention of South Vietnam and better buy the participation of domestic profiteers in South Vietnam. The South Vietnamese profiteers are all involved in the powerful forces behind them, and they have a home in their eyes, and they have no country, and as long as they are beneficial, they will definitely actively participate. ”

King Wei paced in the south study, pondering the feasibility of this matter.

50 or 60 million taels of silver, an extremely large amount, enough for a year's military expenditure, and this matter is unprecedented, and it is not impossible to know how much it will need to increase the cost in the future, and it is not impossible to far exceed the budget.

The more King Wei thought about it, the more faintly he felt palpitations in his heart.

If you don't get it right, this matter can drag down the domestic finances, and then you will be bankrupt before you have a soldier, and your pants will fall off, and the consequences of failure will be extremely serious.

However, if it succeeds, it will also quickly disintegrate the South Vietnamese economy, which will help to quickly consolidate the occupied area, and even quickly expand the occupied area to the entire territory of South Vietnam, and the Eastern Qi and Wu States will not have time to react.

This is a war without gunpowder, but it is even more brutal. This choice is more difficult to decide than the choice of commander-in-chief, and it is not negotiable.

"Someone is coming, Yang Shangshu of the Xuanzhao Military Department, Song Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, General Jin Wuwei Sun, and Sun Tongzhi of Nanzhen Fusi!" King Wei turned his eyes to look at Lei Shaoxuan, and said, "Waiting in the courtyard!"

Yang Shangshu and Song Shangshu hurried over and entered the south study.

After a short time, a middle-aged man in a military robe and a sword in his hand stepped in, this person was undoubtedly General Sun, followed by a tall and beautiful man about thirty or forty years old.

Lei Shaoxuan suddenly understood that he was the senior brother Jin Wuwei Nanzhen Fusi who was always worried about his master Zhang Qing and wanted Lei Shaoxuan to kill him quickly.

In a moment, these people surrounded King Wei and came to stand in front of Lei Shaoxuan.

"Kneel!" King Wei said suddenly, and a eunuch stepped forward with a golden sword in his hand.

"Xuan!"

A eunuch read aloud: "The royal system: Lei Shaoxuan, upright, loyal and courageous, won the heart of the king, appointed Jin Wuwei Zheng Sipin with a sword guard! ”

Promoted!

Lei Shaoxuan was very excited. Zheng Sipin officials have been ranked among the senior cadres of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

However, there was a faint uneasiness in my heart.

Jin Wuwei is the personal guard of the King of Wei, the closest and most trusted person of the King of Wei, and his personnel are selected and appointed as the King of Wei alone, and are not subject to the control of the imperial court, which means that the King of Wei has absolute power over Jin Wuwei, and there is no need for the criminal department to try it.

"Thank you, King Longen. Lei Shaoxuan kowtowed. But he didn't find that King Wei was holding a golden knife, and he had already pulled out half of the golden knife.

Everyone was stunned, the ceremony was not completed, thank you for what?

According to the rules, Jin Wuwei's appointment needs to go through the steps of reading out the letter of appointment, giving the sword to the superior, giving clothes, etc., and just now only one step of reading the letter of appointment has been completed.

It is undoubtedly an extremely rare honor to let King Wei personally preside over the service, but now it makes Lei Shaoxuan a little undecent.

King Wei also felt a little angry and funny, and his face was slightly gloomy.

This person turned out to be an official fan, the ceremony was not completed, and he was already grateful, how to carry out the rest of the ceremony?

Lei Shaoxuan also seemed to be aware of this, and after thanking him, he didn't get up immediately.
