Chapter 389: Rat Eyes
Luoyang, Cabinet!
The atmosphere in the hall is a little dull, everyone you look at me, I look at you, and my face is full of helplessness.
"Your Majesty's move is really high......" Chen Ping took the lead in breaking the balance.
Of those present, he was the only one with the best chance of sitting in the position of cabinet chief.
As for Xiao He, the position and level are enough, but the qualifications are still a little worse than Chen Ping.
Moreover, the cabinet was formed on an ad hoc basis during wartime, and everything now is centered on warfare.
This is precisely Chen Ping's advantage, Xiao He is better at governing internal affairs.
"There are a lot of things to collect donations, but they are also very messy, to collect or not to collect? Where is it used? How to use it? The cabinet still needs to come up with a decision as soon as possible. Xiao He nodded helplessly, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still had to admit that what Chen Ping said was right.
He didn't want to dwell on this, it would only make him more depressed.
So I can only find a way to pull the topic away.
The problem in front of us now is the situation reported around Luoyang.
The merchants, the common people and even some nobles raised donations to show their support.
"No!" Wang Buxing, who happened to walk outside the door, happened to hear this sentence and immediately made a decision.
Xiao He frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the reserves of the imperial court are not much, if you receive these donations, it will be good to fill the warehouses in various places, so as not to be in a hurry due to accidents before the autumn harvest." ”
Faced with Xiao He's questioning, Chen Ping had a different opinion.
That's where the difference between the two becomes.
Xiao He attaches more importance to the inside, so in his subjective consciousness, internal stability is always the first place.
And Chen Ping is relatively internal, and he also has good abilities in the external aspect.
Doesn't this series of operations prove the problem?
So, what Xiao He was worried about, will it happen?
"Xiao Shizhong is too worried! Aocang reserves have not been used, even if the granary reserves of each county are only 20%, if there is really an accident, with the reserves of Aocang, the Central Plains and other places can still support the autumn harvest. If not, the grain in Guanzhong and Shu can also be transported to aid at any time, besides, now the morale of the people is high and the fighting spirit is full, as long as it is not a natural disaster, there will basically be no problems. Chen Ping said directly.
This was also an important factor in the opposition of many ministers in the past.
It's not that the granaries in various places can't be moved, but at least half of them have to be left as an emergency.
However, Wang Buxing directly and forcefully ordered that only 20% of the granaries in various places should be left, and all the rest should be transported away.
As the largest grain storage in the entire empire, Ao Cang can only enter and exit.
Also after two years of construction, the scale of Ao Cang is larger than when Wang Buyu occupied it.
Now Aocang, the total reserves have reached a terrifying 7 million stones.
But in a few years, Aocang will not be the largest granary in Dahan.
"Your Majesty's move is to prevent the Yue people from suddenly attacking, but judging from the current situation, the probability of the Yue people attacking is not great. Therefore, the border side is just a normal station, and the consumption of grain and grass is only a normal amount. Chen Ping continued.
I was curious about whether I was going to fight the Yueshi before?
But after receiving the news that the people were everywhere wanting to raise donations, Chen Ping really understood Wang Buxing's purpose.
So he continued: "It stands to reason that the normal cantonment does not need to consume so much food, and the cantonment army can also carry out military reclamation, and after a few years of labor, it can basically be self-sufficient, but why does Your Majesty want to mobilize the army and make such a big move?" ”
"It's just because everyone's life has been so comfortable in the past few years that many people have forgotten that we still have enemies, and over time, everyone will really forget about this matter, and they can't muster the energy to deal with it."
"Now Your Majesty has aroused the people's fighting spirit just by transferring the army's materials, although it is a lot of losses, but it is also worth it!"
"We're recuperating, and the enemy is getting stronger!"
"As long as the people can realize that the enemy is not vulnerable, the next thing will be easy to do!"
Wang Buxing smiled and did not give an evaluation.
Chen Ping's analysis is basically similar to what he thinks.
And the reason for this idea is because I felt that the fighting spirit of the Han people was not strong, and it seemed that they all had the idea of recuperating for a long time.
This made Wang Bu hungry and anxious.
You are recuperating, and so are your enemies.
The Han Dynasty still has an advantage now, if it doesn't fight at this time, it will be more difficult to fight when the Xiongnu unify the grassland and drive away the Yueshi Wusun in the future.
In history, the anger of the whole country in the Han Dynasty, the enthusiasm of the people who could be fooled by the doctrine of the Ram faction, and the emotion of hating not being able to set foot on the battlefield immediately, came from the backlog of many years.
And the haze that has been pressing on the head of the Han Dynasty is Liu Bang's siege of Baideng.
Of course, the siege of Baiden was careless, but the next few battles proved that it really couldn't be beaten.
That's why there is forbearance in the back, and continuous harmony.
Naturally, it is impossible for Wang Bu to be surrounded by himself, and he does not like to leave his life to others to be responsible.
He prefers to be in control of it all on his own.
So there's a weakened version of the stimulus package.
By mobilizing a large number of troops to garrison the border areas and transporting grain and grass from various places, we can tell the world that our situation is still very dangerous, and now is not the time for swords and guns to enter Kuma and release Nanshan.
Say a thousand to ten thousand.
There is only one reason for this.
Han Shin fought so beautifully in that battle last year.
So much so that the entire Han felt that the Huns, who were so miraculous by the emperor, were nothing more than that.
As the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, although everyone knows the truth, but the advantages established by Han Xin's battle made the entire Han have to float, and they dare not float.
Nearly 10,000 of them were killed in one wave, and so many were captured, but their own casualties could be omitted.
In the face of such an enemy, it is impossible for any individual to treat them as before.
"The grassland people will take revenge, Han Xin wiped out nearly 10,000 of their cavalry on the border, Mao Dunshan will not swallow this breath, I don't care what you thought before, but from now on, you must cheer up." Wang Bu was not hungry and walked directly to the main throne and said sharply.
After several years of tempering, the imperial qi on his body gradually appeared.
At this moment, no one dared to refute the king's words of not being hungry, and no one dared to disobey.
However, Wang Buyu knew that although he was the founding emperor, his prestige was sufficient.
But the decisions made now may not convince anyone.
Although he is supreme as an emperor, he is still difficult to reconcile.
And an excellent emperor doesn't just need to transfer those who don't meet his appetite.
"You say that soldiers can't do it, but I have reformed the military system, and the main front-line forces in the army are all in the prime of life under the age of 30."
"You say that the body is not good, I increase the supply of food, even if the training on weekdays, I divide it according to the standards of wartime."
"You said that there was no war horse, I asked Lu Jia to ask for it, and I let out this face to blackmail the Yue people."
"If you say that weapons are not good, I will change your clothes, and replace them with more advanced and harder iron weapons, and replace them with stronger iron armor."
"You say that the internal stability is not enough, and I have people improve agricultural tools, build water conservancy, and desperately empty the official warehouse, and do not collect it in advance."
"You say there aren't enough people, but I encourage childbearing, and last year there were nearly a million more babies than the year before."
"I just went to send the city defense army to the border to station, and I didn't increase the number of recruits this year......
The more Wang Bu was hungry, the more angry he felt, and the more he spoke, the more annoyed he felt.
The reform of the military system has made the composition of the Han sergeants younger, more reasonable, more combative, and logistical support to keep up.
War horse, then it was really deceived by Lu Jia's mouth and Wang Bu's hungry face.
In order to build weapons, how much energy and financial resources did the imperial court expend?
Mining, smelting, building, and transportation are just to ensure that the 130,000 people under Han Xin can get complete equipment as soon as possible.
The imperial court is providing them with protection almost regardless of the cost.
The reform of agricultural tools has made farming easier, and it has been possible to save manpower to do some other subsidized household work.
Not to mention that every household guarantees that the granary is full at any time, but at least now every household has some surplus grain before the autumn harvest.
Isn't that enough?
If there is too much wasteland and too much land to be cultivated, then fertility is encouraged.
Now I just want to remind the big man not to be confused by the scene in front of him, the trouble of the grassland will only get worse and worse.
Even so, he did not touch the interests of the peasant people.
Even, do everything possible to think about them.
In order not to affect their spring ploughing, the imperial court adopted a county-to-county, point-to-point transportation model.
That is, one county is transported to two counties, and the grain and grass are directly exchanged for cars, and the empty cars are pulled back.
Then the second county was pulling this batch of grain to the third county, and then returned empty.
The shortest counties are available for one trip a day, and most of them can be made once a day for two days.
You don't need to go too far, so you can ensure that you don't delay spring ploughing.
However, even so, there are still people out there who are dissatisfied.
"Rat-eyed!" Wang Bu scolded fiercely, he knew that someone must have leaked it, but they didn't realize that those people were also worried about the threat of scouts, so they didn't dare to spread the news at will.
Even so, it made the scout smell something.
Donate money, food and materials outside, and it is in full swing, but no one would have thought that in Luoyang, in the capital of the empire, there are people who want to make trouble.
Perhaps his intention was not to rebel, but simply to stop the war.
"Since I've become the tyrant in the eyes of some, I might as well be more thorough......
