Before Yang Kaiyuan arrived in Tanggu, Yang Yingqi had already summoned several important ministers to discuss, and Han Fang, Chen Xian, Zhang Hao, Chen Zhenghui and Guo Hao, who was doing business in Tanggu, were able to hear about the matter.

In this meeting, the first person involved was Chen Zhenghui of the household management department, followed by Guo Hao of the military management department, and then Zhang Hao of the administrative affairs of Ling'an South Road and Han Fang of the administrative affairs of Jinggi Road -- because in the future, whether it is important people or food, it is very likely that they will be requisitioned from these two places. Chen Xian was the least involved in this major matter, so he almost didn't say a word at the meeting.

Yang Yingqi first asked Guo Hao about military affairs, and Guo Hao said: "Yang Shuai has not stopped preparing to increase troops in Mobei since Xiao Shuai went north. The military not only sent reconnaissance cavalry to pay close attention to the situation in Mobei, but also sent some Han soldiers into the Hu veterans under the command of General Mengwuer for training, hoping to let them understand how the people of Mobei fought as soon as possible. In addition, three other teams of centaurs have already left the site of the Great Wall this summer to train on the grassland. ”

Yang Yingqi nodded and said, "I've heard all of this. The third brother's idea is to wait for us to slow down due to the reform of Hebei, and the money and food will be stretched, and the second group of men and horses will go north to reinforce them. His team is waiting, one is waiting for my money, and the other is waiting for news from the sixth brother. If the sixth brother is a genius and can really pacify Mobei in one fell swoop, then our people don't have to go north, and go directly to the clouds. ”

"Yes." Guo Hao said: "However, the news from Xiao Shuai this time is much worse than we expected. Yang Shuai originally expected that the reinforcements would be 60,000 to 80,000 soldiers and horses, but now it seems that ......"

Yang Yingqi asked, "How?" ”

Guo Hao said: "Yang Shuai's letter didn't say, but I estimate that it will be ten to twelve thousand." ”

Chen Zhenghui exclaimed: "Ten to one hundred and twenty thousand, do you mean just a combat team?" ”

"Not bad." Guo Hao said: "The logistics fireman who escorts the grain and grass is not among them. ”

Chen Zhenghui pulled his eyebrows almost together, and stopped talking.

Yang Yingqi asked Han Fang and Zhang Hao again.

Han Fang said: "Xiao Shuai went north at the end of last year, and most of the manpower and material resources mobilized came out of the jurisdiction of Gyeonggi Road. ”

Yang Yingqi nodded and said: "I know the situation in Dading Mansion, and I can't search here anymore, otherwise it will be a cure for the wound in front of me but leave a problem in my heart." It is not advisable to make a big move around Yanjing, otherwise it will create an opportunity for Zong Han to take advantage of. ”

Zhang Hao said: "Liaodong has always been the front line before we conquered Yanjing, but this year it has become a hinterland, the people have been able to recuperate and stretch, the people are still sufficient, and a lot of food has been saved." The military rations of the 100,000 army, plus the consumption along the way, are all counted, and I estimate that Andongnan Road can be responsible for forty percent. But...... However, in order to support Hebei's reform this year, the excess money in southern Liaoning was transferred, and this financial resources could not keep up. ”

Speaking of this, everyone looked at Chen Zhenghui, Han Fang could say that he couldn't, Zhang Hao could say that the money was not enough, but Chen Zhenghui couldn't. He looked at a few colleagues and sighed: "Since the pacification of the Northeast, most of the money and grain in southern Liaoning have been transferred west to Tanggu. The grain of the Northern Expedition ......" he gritted his teeth and said, "You can take it out!" ”

Guo Hao asked, "Why is your face so ugly?" ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "Brother Guo, you don't know, although I can take out this grain, but after taking it out this time, there will be very little inventory left in the second warehouse for war preparedness." In case of another great famine, it will be troublesome. ”

Guo Hao asked: "There is food, but what about the money?" ”

"Money?" Chen Zhenghui didn't answer, but looked at Yang Yingqi.

Yang Yingqi didn't say anything, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this year's harvest in Hebei is good, I estimate that there will be surplus grain among the people." When the people have surplus grain, we can transfer it to prepare for war and prepare for the desert. "It's still about grain and grass.

Chen Zhenghui shook his head and said: "We are going to be tax-free this year, even if the people have surplus grain, I am afraid that we will not have the money to buy it." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Everyone grit their teeth and hold on for another year or two, and everything will be fine." As for money, I'll think about it. ”

After discussing for a long time, all kinds of details and concerns were discussed, and the meeting ended, and everyone withdrew, leaving Chen Zhenghui alone. After going out, Han Fang gently bumped Zhang Hao with his elbow and said, "You say, does our little Chen Xiangye still have any money in his hands?" Among the several deputy prime ministers, Chen Xian is Lao Chen, and Chen Zhenghui is relatively Xiao Chen - in fact, he is not young, and only a few people such as Han Fang dare to joke like this.

Before Zhang Hao could answer, Guo Hao had already laughed: "He must have money in his hands!" If he didn't have money, he would have cried poor like Han Xiang. ”

Han Fang said: "Since you have money, why don't you say it?" Could it be that this account should also be kept secret from us? ”

Guo Hao said: "I don't understand." ”

Chen Xian next to him suddenly sneered: "Others don't understand, don't you Gongmei understand?" Why ask knowingly here. ”

Han Fang said in horror: "If Elder Xian said this, then he wronged me!" ”

Chen Xian glanced at him twice and smiled: "Gongmei really doesn't understand?" ”

Han Fang said: "I really don't understand, please give me advice." ”

Chen Xian heaved and said: "We don't know if Brother Zhenghui has money in his hands, and we don't know if Yang Xiang has money in his hands." But...... This spring, His Majesty resisted Zong Han, not only defending to capture Juyong Pass, but also preparing to take advantage of the victory to take Yunzhong, but in the end it was not done, it is said that Yang Xiangyi book, saying that the center has no money. It has only been half a year since then, and in the past six months, we have spent a lot of money on new things for Hebei's relief, reconstruction, and reform, but we have not seen much new ways to make money. So ......" he won't say anything about it.

Guo Hao was more direct, and said: "So the old man means: I had no money half a year ago, and today, half a year later, I should have no money." If you have money now, it's ...... Is it a bully? ”

Han Fang exclaimed: "Guo Shangshu! You can't say that! No matter what Yang Xiang does, I believe that he is for the sake of my Han's country! Such charges must not be arbitrarily applied. ”

Guo Hao glanced at him, and then smiled: "Han Xiang is too nervous, a few of us are talking nonsense in private, what does it matter!" Hehe, I have been a civil official and a military general, and I know the difficulties of both sides. When there is a war, military attachés must spend a lot of money, and civilian officials must cry poverty. I understand this, but doesn't Your Majesty understand it? Besides, although we have spent more than we earned in the past six months, this money may not have been available half a year ago. It's just that sometimes, you can turn out money that you didn't have before...... Haha, Han Xiang must have this ability. ”

Han Fang hurriedly said: "Lord Guo smiled, where do I have this ability." However, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Xiang was known as the God of Wealth, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiao Chen Xianggong was also known as the God of Wealth. ”

Zhang Hao frowned and said: "If you want to say that Lord Chen did not reveal the amount he had in hand in order to give Yang Xiangyuan a harmless lie, then I understand - just a few of us will talk about this, and we can't talk nonsense outside." But if they can really make money...... I don't understand. ”

Han Fang smiled: "Now we don't understand, let's watch." You see that Yang Xiang looked confident just now, and you know that he must have a way. This method has to be used, we can't guess his idea in advance, and if we look at it afterwards, we can always see it! ”

Chen Xian, Guo Hao and the others all stroked their beards and said, "Not bad, not bad." ”
