However, Emperor Qianlong didn't bother for long, because Liu Yu took the initiative to help! Smiling slightly, Liu Yu showed his bright white teeth, "Back to the emperor, Keshan has something to ask to see." ”

Qianlong raised his eyebrows, his expression a little surprised. Liu Yu has always been quiet, capable, and strong and independent, even if he wants to be pampered and protected from time to time, he feels that he has nowhere to start, and he is often frustrated by this, he takes the initiative to find himself in front of him, which is still second.

The curvature of the corners of Qianlong's mouth was even more obvious, he leaned over to look into Liu Yu's clear eyes, and said softly: "If Keshan has anything to do, just open your mouth, I will call the shots for you." ”

In this way, Keshan transgressed. Dare to ask the emperor, this time against the big and small Jinchuan, is it really impossible to raise military salaries, money and food? Liu Yu asked very directly. He was not afraid that Qianlong would accuse him of arguing about the government and spying on the military. This is not spying, asking in front of the emperor, if he is willing, he will naturally sue him, if he is unwilling, just reprimand him severely and then drive him away.

This kind of thinking is very simple and bold, and it is not at all like Liu Yu's previous style of acting. He has always been cautious in this world, but since he entered the palace, he has been pampered by Qianlong openly and secretly, and he has gradually let down his guard, revealing a bit of wanton freedom when his strength is still there.

Hearing this, although Qianlong was a little surprised, he was not angry because of his outspoken inquiry into the government, but was very useful for his boldness. He likes Liu Yu's directness to him, his wantonness, and his honesty, if he can be more intimate, like a real folk father and son, it would be better.

Therefore, he didn't hide it at all, looked directly at Liu Yu, and said with expectation: "It's not enough to raise money, it's just a little tight." Every cent must be saved. Keshan is there a good way? ”

Hearing Qianlong's answer, Liu Yu lowered his eyes and groaned. The head was running high, thinking about how to deal with it: "Your Majesty, Keshan has a way to ensure that every cent of this batch of military salaries and food is used on the blade." If the emperor can trust Keshan, give Keshan seven days to draw up a charter. If the emperor can't believe Keshan, it should be as if Keshan hasn't said anything today. "Liu Yu is actually a temptation, he wants to see how deep Emperor Qianlong's favor is for him.

If it is rejected, then Liu Yu can roughly estimate Qianlong's bottom line, and he can try to avoid causing Emperor Qianlong's displeasure in the future. And if Emperor Qianlong agrees, then Liu Yu can take advantage of the matter of raising armaments to gain a chance to take the throne, which will become the beginning of his establishment of power in this world.

In Qianlong's mind. Liu Yu is the reincarnation of his omnipotent emperor Amad, he was still calculating how to let Liu Yu help him solve the problem, at this time Liu Yu's move, in his opinion, is the embodiment of "father and son love", and his heart is full of emotion. He said softly: "Keshan has a heart, how can I not believe it?" Seven days is enough? How else can we help? ”

Seeing that Qianlong didn't want to think about it, he agreed to come down. Liu Yu was a little surprised in his heart. Then he couldn't stop smiling, "Back to the emperor, seven days is enough, now I just need to count the exact number of soldiers who will fight against me, and then report it to Keshan to know." ”

"It's simple, I will command it immediately. Let them count them before the hour, and present them to you. ”

Liu Yu was very satisfied with the desired result, and immediately left after nodding slightly. "Thank you for the emperor's trust, time is pressing, Keshan will go down to raise it."

After Liu Yu invited himself on an errand, he locked himself up in the Nansan Institute and worked overtime for several days, during which he refused all visits, and even Concubine Ling, who came to show his goodwill, was not allowed to enter the door. Seven days later, the closed courtyard door finally opened, and with a relieved smile on the corner of Liu Yu's mouth, he led Sa Fuding and walked towards the Heart Cultivation Hall with a thick stack of materials.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Qianlong pulled Liu Yu to sit down beside him, personally poured a cup of tea and sent it to him, and waited for him to drink it slowly, his face relaxed, and then he spoke, "The thing is done?" Although he didn't know what Liu Yu could do in just seven days, it didn't affect his trust in Liu Yu's ability at all.

"Well, it's done." Liu Yu put down the teacup, bowed slightly, and turned his head to look at Sa Fuding, who was holding a stack of papers and standing behind him, "Bring things up!" ”

Saffodin cautiously stepped forward and placed the stack of paper on the coffee table between the two of them. Liu Yu looked at the stacked coffee table and the thick stack of materials, frowned slightly, and glanced at the huge imperial table in the hall out of the corner of his eye.

Qianlong caught a glimpse of the direction he was looking in, smiled secretly in his heart, picked up the information, got up and brought it to the imperial table, "This place is small, go to my imperial table to see." ”

The two walked to the table, and the table had been cleaned up by Wu Shulai. Qianlong put down the information, raised his hand and motioned for Wu Shulai to move a chair and put it beside him, and placed Liu Yu well, and then he looked at it one by one seriously. Liu Yu sat down beside him and watched with him, and with each one he saw, he whispered the main points inside, and sometimes pointed out some key points that were easy to miss for Qianlong.

The more Qianlong looked at it, the more surprised he became, and finally he couldn't help but stand up, spread out the map, compare the information one by one, and check it. "Haha, yes, yes! With Keshan's armament plan, in this war, I, Baqi, no longer have to worry about military funds. Two hours passed, and finally read all the information, Qianlong patted Liu Yu on the shoulder, and couldn't stop laughing.

Liu Yu's information is extremely detailed, so detailed that each soldier is equipped with how many weapons, clothing, medicinal materials, food, and military salaries are all listed and calculated one by one, and there are no omissions, and he truly achieved what he promised that day, "every cent is used on the blade". Since coming to power, Qianlong, who had fought many wars, never knew that military resources could be calculated to a single cent, and the use of armaments could be estimated down to the smallest detail, which opened his eyes.

In fact, Liu Yu simply used some principles of modern budgeting and logistics to systematically estimate and list the amount of materials needed for the entire war. However, when people fought in ancient times, they only roughly estimated the military salaries and money and food they needed, and then adjusted them in a timely manner according to the war situation after the war, which was often either wasted or in short supply, and would not be detailed to such a point, so Qianlong was so shocked.

The next day, Fu Heng, A Gui, Feng Sheng, Zhaohui and other generals came to the military aircraft early to wait for Qianlong to summon them.

They had already received the news that the emperor had entrusted the matter of raising armaments for the war to a half-grown man who had never received an errand. They have a lot of complaints about such rash decisions, and they are gathering together to discuss how to kill this kid and make the emperor change his mind as soon as possible.

While they were discussing, the voice of the attendant announcing "The emperor has arrived" came, and a moment later he saw a tall bright yellow figure walking with a young man. When the crowd saw this, they bowed down and saluted.

"Get up." Qianlong turned his head to look at the young man, asked him to greet the ministers, get acquainted with each other, and then walked to the main seat and sat down. Waiting for everyone to settle down.

Qianlong didn't care about everyone's thoughts, today is the first step for Liu Yu to show his edge, from today on, he will send him to the clouds step by step, watching him shine. Dazzling. In the previous life, his emperor Ama was the son of the Holy Heaven. This life. His Keshan should also be a famous minister through the ages.

"I have invited you here today mainly to discuss the armament plan drawn up by Keshan to meet the big and small Jinchuan, this is the specific content, you can all take a look, if you have any questions, please mention it." As soon as Emperor Qianlong waved his hand, the guards behind him put the prepared charters into the hands of the ministers one by one. The ministers took it with both hands. Turning the title page and watching carefully, the needle drop could be heard in the military aircraft department for a while.

Half an hour later, several people read the draft armaments budget one after another, and their hearts were amazed. The pen and ink are indescribable. Is this draft really the work of a half-grown child? Isn't it that the emperor asked someone to do it for him in order to build momentum for Prince Duan's son? But that's not right! With such military talents, how could the emperor, who has always loved talent as much as his life, wronged him to marry someone else? Isn't this a tyrannical thing?

With all kinds of guesses in his heart, Ah Gui took the lead in opening his mouth to test, "Lord Shizi, in your plan, the use of armaments is extremely frugal and harsh, and even the daily consumption of rice, medicinal materials, clothing, and silver for each soldier must be limited, which is probably inappropriate." Armaments can be sold, but they must not be strained, and in case of an unexpected situation, there is no surplus food and salary to replenish, which will cause great chaos in the army. ”

Liu Yu put down the teacup, smiled at Qianlong's encouraging gaze, turned his head to look at Ah Gui, and said indifferently: "Dare to ask General A Gui." If two armies of equal numbers face each other and allocate the same amount of armaments and materials, one army will fight according to the general's armament plan, and the other army will fight according to the armament plan of the son, which army will win in the end? ”

When everyone heard Liu Yu's question, they all lowered their heads and pondered, if they realized, the surprise and admiration in Ah Gui's eyes were undisguised. There is no need to think about this question, the answer is already in his mind, the two armies with the same number of armaments are facing each other, and naturally the more economical the use of armaments, the longer the time to support the army wins.

Seeing that Ah Gui didn't answer, Liu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to himself: "In the battle, less against more, fighting for resourcefulness, more for less, fighting for troops, more for many, fighting for armament." Whoever has the most armaments, the most efficient and the most durable will be the winner in the end. There is nothing wrong with this plan to make every cent of the military salary play its greatest effect. The strength and self-confidence in his words made a veteran like Ah Gui a little embarrassed.

These veterans go to the battlefield, and when they raise armaments, they at most ask their subordinates to make a rough estimate, and then report the maximum value to the imperial court, and the spending in the war is also very arbitrary, anyway, the imperial court can supplement it at any time, so the incident of greedy ink and wasting military salaries occurs frequently, how can he ever be like Liu Yu, and consider the use of armaments so carefully?

In fact, Liu Yu only used a simple example to roughly expound the principle of modern logistics, and in modern society, there is no need for a real war when there is a dispute between countries, as long as an arms race is carried out in turns, whoever comes out on top in the arms race will be the winner, and the use of arms has developed into an independent science -- logistics. However, in this era when we rely on flesh-and-blood hard work and armaments logistics have not yet received sufficient attention, this systematic and scientific use of armaments is a pioneering and thought-provoking practice.

Liu Yu didn't know the impact of his words on everyone, and when he saw Ah Gui and the generals staring at him with a pair of bull's eyes, he thought that they were still unconvinced, so he took out a charter and handed it out with an indifferent expression, "If you are still not convinced, there is an emergency budget plan here." Specially designed to deal with the unexpected situation that General Gui said. ”

Ah Gui took the charter handed by Liu Yu in a daze, and his bull's eyes widened. The calculation of this first charter is detailed enough, specific enough, and terrifying enough, and he even considered the special circumstances and calculated and coordinated an emergency plan?! I heard that such a huge amount of calculations was made by him in seven days, how did the prince grow his brain in this life? There are so many people in the household department, and he has to work overtime for half a month in a row just to pay the money, and he doesn't let people live if he does this?

Qianlong, who was leisurely drinking tea and watching the play, took in everyone's stupid reactions, and the smile on his lips deepened. looked at Liu Yu's eyes full of pride. This is the reincarnation of his incomparably beloved Emperor Ama, maverick and amazing. Now that he is still young, he is already so good, what kind of demeanor will he have when he grows up? It must be unique and unparalleled in the world!

Ah Gui and the generals quickly read the emergency budget plan handed over by Liu Yu, and their expressions were already dumbfounded and speechless. It's not about ghostwriting! Damn! Who has such a great ability to write such a thing in seven days, and what is it to hide in the shadows? has already become a generation of famous generals!

Everyone continued to be silent, but Fu Heng, who had never spoken, put down the charter in his hand at this time. raised a question, "In terms of the use of military salaries, the prince has considered it very thoroughly, but there is still a problem with this grain and grass. Excuse me. When the army was transferred from Beijing, your charter stated that the imperial court only needed to provide 200,000 stone of grain and grass. These 200,000 stone grains and grass were only enough for the army to enter the Meinuo camp in Xiaojinchuan from the capital. How to solve the shortage of food and grass after the start of the war? Don't forget the actual situation just by thinking about frugality. The tone was rather unkind.

Qianlong frowned at Fu Heng's tone. Cast a knife-sharp glance at him. Fu Heng, who was glanced at him, smiled bitterly and sighed secretly: I didn't expect the emperor's connivance and pampering of Prince Duan's prince to reach such a degree, and he couldn't even tolerate others speaking a little harshly to him.

Liu Yu didn't notice the eye contact between the two, spread out the map and pointed out several remote towns that surrounded the big and small Jinchuan and said: "The 200,000 stone grain and grass in Beijing was originally a marching food prepared for the army on the road, and if all the military food was allocated by the imperial court, it would be transported to the front line. On the way, most of the people and mules and horses will be consumed and used, and the gains outweigh the losses. After the camp and the war began, the grain and grass were provided by these remote towns and villages close to the main camp of our army, which was the most cost-effective and convenient. These towns are located in low-lying, fertile basins, and have extremely high grain yields. It is entirely possible to raise enough food and grass. ”

When Fu Heng heard this, he stepped forward to check, and the rest of the people gathered around to watch. After reading the map, Zhaohui nodded, shook his head after a while, and reminded, "The prince doesn't know, these places are remote and inconvenient, and the villagers there are fierce and xenophobic. They live in self-sufficiency and have little contact with the outside world, and if you go there with money to collect food and grass, they will not sell it, and they may even attack it wantonly. This is inappropriate. ”

The others nodded when they heard this, and Qianlong pulled the corners of his mouth slightly in an unfathomable manner.

Liu Yu listened to Zhaohui's words, and his expression remained unchanged, "I have already considered this problem that Lord Zhaohui said. These places are remote and have little contact with the outside world, so when I go to collect grain, I do not trade it with money, but barter, and take salt, tea cakes, fabrics, porcelain and other daily necessities to exchange for huàn, and they must be willing. ”

How did this brain come about? The crowd glared again. Why is it just willing to change? If you don't change it, people will have to cry and beg you to change it. For people living in remote mountainous areas, these ordinary daily necessities cannot be bought with money. Not only do you not have to worry about food, but you also save a lot of money to buy food. How much does the Internal Affairs Office have to waste every year? Just take it and trade it.

Before everyone was surprised, Liu Yu pointed out on the map again and again, and dropped another bomb, "Actually, this war doesn't need to raise so much grain and grass. The easiest way to solve the problem of grain and grass in war is to 'fight for food'. What does it mean to be 'in war for food'? It is where there is food, where to fight, to feed the war. If you follow the mixed style of infantry and cavalry, the cavalry infantry will carry 64 stones of grain and grass from the rear to the line, and 63 stones will be lost on the road, which is a huge waste! If the Mongolian hussar style is followed, there is no need to equip grain and grass at all. We divided the 80,000-strong army into small groups of cavalry of tens of thousands of people per team, divided the troops into three routes, and adopted the method of attacking separately and together, splitting and encircling and annihilating. After sweeping the surrounding small camps, we will focus on attacking the two large battalions of Meinuo and Argu, when the time comes, these two battalions will have no reinforcements and no reinforcements, so why worry about the size of Jinchuan not breaking? This way of playing is fast, labor-saving, and does not cost money and food, so you can get more with one stone. For example, Zhang Guangsi's tactics of 'forcing the pillboxes and fighting for them one by one' in the last war really cost money and silver, and also damaged troops, which was really inappropriate, and finally ended in defeat. ”

When Liu Yu said the last sentence, he frowned slightly, sighed lightly, his tone was quite regretful, and he turned his head to look at Fu Heng and the others, only then did he realize that their expressions were very strange, their eyes were burning and they looked at themselves, and they stared at the thief, as if they were a monster. Liu Yu only realized that although he was talking about collecting grain and grass, he inadvertently involved the issue of strategic strategy, and it was really rude to point fingers in front of the commander-in-chief of the first army.

However, with Liu Yu's temperament, he didn't care, and only apologized to Ah Gui casually, "Ke Shan's vain talk about the war is really unintentional, if there is any inappropriate speech, I also ask General Ah Gui and all the adults to forgive their sins." ”

After Liu Yu apologized, the adults still stared at him without words. There is no way, I was talking about the problem of grain and grass, but this little man gave him all the advice, and even the best strategic plan was lightly mentioned, which was really a blockbuster and shocked. They suffered a huge shock in their hearts, and for a time they were unspeakable. (To be continued!)
