At the beginning of February, everyone had more things to do.

The farmers are responsible for the cultivation of crops, the workers are responsible for the operation of the factories, and Wang Lanling has to take care of everything.

The representations of the Sand State, the negotiations of the Haeju, the representations of the Empire, and the constant emphasis on the internal presence.

At present, the new battlefield of the empire has basically achieved results, and it is in a critical period of digesting the results of the battle, so there is no intention of acting rashly on Wang Lanling's side.

In any case, after Wang Lanling sent 200,000 troops to destroy the millions of bandits in Jinshan, if the empire wants to attack this side, it needs at least 200,000 people.

This kind of thing is not something that can be done simply, and now the empire can raise 200,000 troops, but it is definitely not mentally prepared to gamble.

The odds of 200,000 are too low, and if you fight Wang Lanling, you need at least 400,000 people.

"The minister thinks that Lanling County should be attacked!"

In the court of Longzhou, there is inevitably a group of main battle factions.

The main battle faction did not exist on the first day, but after a series of considerations, it chose a proposition that suited itself.

Jiao Huaien took the initiative to stand up, and when everyone was happy about the victory in the new battlefield area, he stood up calmly.

When the old emperor was rejoicing at the victory on the battlefield of Lanzhou, he was brought closer to reality and thought of the difficult problem that he had been thinking about day and night.

He calmed down and looked at the person who was speaking.

This person is a person from the military department and a person from the logistics system, and he is responsible for the affairs of Cao Yun.

After everyone looked at him, Jiao Huaien continued to start his own statement.

"At present, it is almost the beginning of spring in various places, and the food and salary of the golden year is not a problem, and the combat effectiveness of the army after the sound, as well as the soldiers who have returned from victory this time, can do a lot."

"The minister thinks that Wang Lanling is a person with great ambitions, and if he does not curb his development in time, it will inevitably cause harm to the rest of the place."

"Now there is only one place in Shanhai County that has problems, if he is allowed to grow savagely, then Shazhou Yuzhou and Yuanzhou Haizhou will be occupied by this person, forming a north-south confrontation."

The emperor didn't speak, and the right minister quickly said: "Director Jiao doesn't understand the current national situation, and now there is an endless stream of troublemakers from all over the country?" Do you want to be inside first? Whether it's weapons or soldiers, or the magic skills that can transmit sound for thousands of miles, we are not as good as the outside! ”

"Rashly raising up a war? It will only shake the country's capital? Costly! ”

Is the right phase unwilling to fight? At least not for now.

finally completed peace negotiations with Wang Lanling's side, and the rebels in Shazhou were also shaken? An example is framed for those who want to stand on their own feet.

At this time, if there is a fight again, then there will be many problems!

Don't say anything else? If there is a war, the right to speak and all kinds of rights in the court will be concentrated in the hands of the emperor and a few Jiang family members.

The right minister has no particular ideas, he just thinks that it is not good to fight.

If there is a war, there will be a distinction of priorities in many things, and it will be difficult to do internal affairs.

There is also the possibility that you can't win, after two consecutive defeats, and Wang Lanling's side is getting stronger and stronger? Normal people don't want to give up the peace they have won.

Jiao Huaien quickly retorted: "Outside and inside? Is Muzhou an outside, a place outside the law? ”

Isn't the point of the right phase this? He's brilliant? From Jiao Huaien's imprudent words to refute this? I roughly understood what this person was thinking.

Isn't this man retorting himself? Rather, it was to speak to the emperor, to gain the emperor's attention by making such radical statements.

Most of the large-scale battles launched cautiously in history have nothing to do with the main battle faction, but are launched by a single person.

Or the feudal era and the capitalist era? The main battle faction is constrained by its own interests in speaking, and does not consider the question of when the time is appropriate or not, and how to fight.

After understanding Jiao Huaien's intentions, the right minister quickly said: "In this court, how can there be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?!" ”

The people who can be prime ministers are not ordinary, at least on the side of the empire.

The people who can stand out from the Imperial Academy are far superior to the old emperor and Wang Lanling in terms of talent and reflexes.

"Who doesn't want to arrest Wang Lanling earlier, isn't it the right time now?!"

The right minister quickly attracted the attention of everyone, including the emperor.

This level of suppression is too great, and it is not so simple to defeat a strong enemy by leapfrogging the level.

In terms of the ability to sensationalize, how can the little director be the opponent of the right minister!

The right minister was full of sadness at this time, and touched everyone in the audience with simple and sincere words.

"Breaking the disrespectful people in Lanzhou, suppressing the rebels in various places, and letting Shazhou return to the control of the empire without bloodshed, these are all preparations for the conquest of Muzhou, how did you come here, as if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces had done nothing?"

"Could it be that Director Jiao has any better means, or does he think that we are not as patriotic as you? They all eat inside and outside and refuse to deal with Wang Lanling! ”

Jiao Huaien listened to the accusation of the right minister, and quickly said: "I don't have that kind of thought, but there is a place in my heart that I can't think clearly. ”

Zuo Xiang said at this time: "Is there anything unclear? ”

Jiao Huaien said: "According to the descriptions of our students and students in Lanling County, there is no shortage of food and clothing in Lanling County, not only that, but there are also fruits, fish and meat to eat. ”

Zuo Xiang said casually: "What is this?" ”

Jiao Huaien looked at the emperor, "This is already a life that many rich peasants don't have, not to mention anything else, most of our villagers and townspeople in Longzhou can't eat fish, meat and fruits every week." ”

"Lanling County can eat one meal of meat for three to five days, and all primary schools, middle schools, and technical schools can eat one fruit every day."

"The territory of Lanling County cannot support more than five million people, and the minister thinks that Wang Lanling must have transactions with Yanshan County, Tianmu County, Jinshan County, Shazhou, and Shanzhou!"

"Muzhou is prolific with cattle and sheep, Wang Lanling bribed those herdsmen with money, and when the herdsmen sell him wool and mutton, they will inevitably help that side when they start a war."

"The seaside of Lanzhou is prolific with fish and meat, and Wang Lanling buys a lot of fish and seafood, so he is bound to know some news from the fishermen."

"There are many fruits in Shazhou, and there are many grains in Yuzhou, as long as Wang Lanling keeps buying and trading, it is easy to penetrate inside."

The head of the household department said with a straight face: "Ridiculous! Where did you get so much money in Lanling County? Could it be that a few years ago, it was a small border county, and it was already rich enough to rival the country? ”

That's right! Where did Wang Lanling get so much money?

The Minister of War said: "It is not easy for Lanling County to support 200,000 troops, if it can still make millions of people eat meat, then where did the money come from?" ”

"Is it possible that this county can make more money than a state in just a few years?"

The old emperor also thought about this question.

I used to think that Wang Lanling was very good at fighting, but now it seems that this level of internal affairs is simply not an ordinary person!

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as unprecedented.

The territory of Lanling County is just a little bigger, and the most important thing is that the time is too short.

And even so, it can support 200,000 troops and millions of people, and at the same time, it can achieve a better standard of living than ordinary people in Longzhou, which ......

The old emperor became more interested in Wang Lanling's ruling system and system.

Envy, mind.

In order to raise enough military expenses, he not only used some of the royal assets without raising taxes, but also killed several disobedient ministers to make up a sum of military expenses.

Don't look at the usual incorruptible, but if you check it, you can find out millions.

Although he is not so short of money, he has been killing people and taking money all the time, and the old emperor wants to know how Wang Lanling got the money.

Is it really hard to make money just by selling cloth?
