No matter what time it is, the northern grassland tribes have always been the great enemies of the Central Plains Empire.

If Li Po had not led his troops south, then he would definitely stretch out his claws to the clouds, at the very least, Dingxiang County should be restored, but now the situation is different, as soon as the Turkic royal court left, you went to occupy Dingxiang County......

Okay, Li Pojue felt that it was better not to stimulate the woman in the north, the woman went crazy...... Especially if he is the lord of a country, the consequences may be much more serious than the anger of Shibi Khan going south.

In fact, after Li Po returned to the army, he was not so worried about the border troubles in the north, he was mainly afraid that the Turkic tribes would collude inside and outside, turning Yunnei into a battlefield, and as long as the army turned around, this possibility would not exist.

In terms of foreign enemies, the northern border is actually much more solid than the banks of the Yellow River.

When I came out of the Wen Mansion, it was already dark.

Li Po glanced at the sky, and sighed secretly in his heart, the days can't help but be mixed, this day passed quickly, and he did two things, thinking about the content of these two things, Li Po shook his head, and finally sighed and came out, damn it, it is equivalent to not doing anything.

That is, he went to give Wang a reassuring pill, and then came to send Wen Yanbo a big step, and it took a day to go back and forth.

Originally, I wanted to inspect the Jinyang warehouse, and then call the generals over one after another to advise.

This is all something that must be done, the grain and grass reserves cannot be relaxed at all, what kind of virtue are the officials, Li Po is very clear, if you relax for a year and a half, they will dare to go into the granary to be rice worms, plus there are also the children of the big clan making waves, it is even more terrible.

The generals also have to keep an eye on it, they went out to fight for a year, what kind of mood is it in the army from top to bottom, Li Po is also very clear, it is true to rest for a few days in Jinyang, and not to make any big cases.

Yes, now Li Po is thinking about trivial matters, but those serious matters need to be discussed together, and Li Po intends to postpone it somewhat.

One is to give everyone more time to think about it, and he himself also wants to rest for a few days.

Second, he also has to make some preparations, and when he finishes discussing with everyone, he has to settle everything, because this year is very important in his opinion.

This should be a rare period of calm in recent years, and we must step up the time to cultivate politics, otherwise when the war is together, it will be dominated by war again.

And he also wants to wait for Pei Shiqing's good news, if he goes to the party, it will be difficult for the two counties of Changping to overcome, and the strategy will have to be changed......

Full of lawsuits, he returned to the governor's mansion, and immediately ordered people to recruit Chen Xiaoyi, Su Yan, Xue Wanjun and others to see him.

The things at home have to be carefully asked, after all, after leaving for a year, there will be no omissions in major events, but the family business is getting bigger and bigger, and many things have to be reported by these close people to see more clearly.

The food in the governor's mansion was very good, and several people arrived very quickly.

The wine and food are put on the table, and the drinks are talking, which is definitely different from last night's banquet, not so warm, and there is no need for Li Poxian to say a few impassioned words to drive the atmosphere, and he will not hand over the cup and change the lamp, and make a mess of cups and plates.

After a few glasses, Su Yan got down to business first, which was actually similar to the later report.

As the chief steward of the governor's office, what Su Yan said is naturally related to money and food, the new currency has already been issued, and the effect is very good, but the new currency is a little too exquisite, and some people have moved the idea of collecting, and the value of the currency has been raised a little, which makes people cry and laugh.

But overall, after a few months, Su Kang determined the possibility of minting silver coins, and the people accepted them quickly, especially some merchants, who liked silver coins very much, because silver coins were lighter and helpful for business.

In fact, in the winter, the reputation of the silver has spread, because the silver coin was the first to the state, so it also became the silver generation.

This title is very unorthodox, it is similar to the white money of the great cause, the government must not be called like this, but the name of the matter has to be decided by Li Po himself, according to Su Yan's thoughts, it is best to add the king name to it.

This Su Yan didn't say it explicitly, so he wouldn't talk much about this matter, Wen Yanbo, Chen Xiaoyi, or even Yu Wenxin, the head of the Daizhou Marching Army, are more qualified than him to propose this matter, others, it's better not to fight for the merit of the first discussion.

This is a very good beginning, and it is really more careful and intuitive than the correspondence, Su Jian also said, now the silver coins should not be circulated too much, it should be stopped, after all, the land is still too small.

Li Po is very satisfied with what Su Yan said, a money bag with a clear mind is worthy of being a descendant of the Su family, and others really can't compare to what he is talented.

Then Su Kang talked about the problem of grain production, and Su Kang roughly divided this into three parts, one is Daizhou, where cattle and sheep are more and more abundant.

Last year, after a war, a lot of cattle and sheep were consumed, but a lot of them were sold to the merchants who went north, and in Yanmen and Mayi, the cattle and sheep trade became more and more prosperous.

Many Daizhou herders are now eager for the government to continue to expand their pastures northward, as the ranches in Yunnei are now overcrowded and the number of cattle and sheep they can raise is beginning to be limited.

When Yuen Long wanted to send troops to Yunzhong, it was actually affected by this, and the arrival of war was actually as simple as that, just to grab living space.

The second part is the annexation of the state, the north of the state was a good year last year, the war had little impact on farming, and the money and grain were exempted for three years, and the people's life was much better than that of the people in Daizhou.

The south is a bit bad, but in fact, both the north and the south are facing a problem, a lack of labor.

The labor service in the last years of the Great Cause had a great impact on Bingzhou, and what made matters worse was that when Li Yuan raised troops from Taiyuan and went south, he recruited a lot of government soldiers, and the people were strong.

The consequences are to be borne by Li Polai, compared with the thriving Daizhou, the land in the state is more fertile, and now the grain output can barely be the same as that of Daizhou, which is undoubtedly a more worrying thing.

There's nothing to do but wait.

So now the people of Bingzhou think of Li Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan before, it is more complicated, one, when Li Yuan was in office, he did a lot of things for the people of Bingzhou, and did not let the chaotic bandits destroy everyone's peace.

But now that I look at it, Li Yuan is no less harmful than Yang Guang......

Well, the situation is not very good, but it is not bad, according to Su Yan's vague meaning, without the drag of Xihe County, it should be better to look better on the face.

The other part is the counties of Hedong, and the worst is also Hedong, this year's grain in Hedong will definitely not last for the autumn harvest, and it needs to be sent from the north, as for the amount of help, it depends on the specific situation of the counties.

This will undoubtedly slow down the pace of recovery of the two states, when Su Jian said this, he also felt a little strange in his heart, since ancient times, and in a border place like the two states, he has always reached out to the south to ask for food, but he didn't expect it to be the other way around today.

At that time, everyone thought that in terms of the grain and grass obtained from Jiangxian County, Linfen and other places, as well as the autumn harvest of Hedong counties last year, they could roughly let the people in Hedong eat for a year and wait until the autumn harvest of the next year.

Now Su Ji is another statement, of course, the words of Su Kang, who is coordinated in the middle, are more credible.

In other words, we have to tighten our belts a little this year, and we have to see if God will give face this year, otherwise, there will be some kind of drought or something, and maybe the efforts of the past two years will be in vain.

Su Jian finally summed up, feeling that the granaries should be empty this year, but the people's homes can breathe a sigh of relief, and when the two states start to pay taxes one after another, the situation will quickly improve.

This period of time should be one to two years, and the time will be extended if troops are to be used in the middle or later.

With someone like Su Ji who is good at co-ordination, Li Po does save a lot of trouble.

Of course, Su Yan is lucky enough, unlike others, who have many messy constraints and Li Po's strong support, and they often get twice the result with half the effort.

This is also Li Po's efforts to deprive the generals of the right to speak in some aspects are working, he almost never discusses issues such as people's livelihood with the generals in the army, and over time, the generals are not interested in these, and there is no chaotic voice, so the pressure on the ministers is greatly reduced.

Like Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, or even Li Yuan, the meritorious generals not only have to compete for merit, but also quarrel about the appointment and dismissal of personnel, the distribution of grain and grass, and the requisition of manpower and material resources.

The generals' thinking is different from that of Wenchen, coupled with the prolongation of the war and the system of mixing civil and military, so the other princes in the north are stumbling when they recover, and even Wang Shichong has a group of civil and military generals in Luoyang City, but in the end it has become a model of raising war with war.

It is far less noisy than under Li Po's rule, and everyone is more focused when they do things, and the effect is naturally not the same as that under other people's rule.

Li Po was very satisfied with Su Yan's efforts, and when he finished speaking, he raised his glass and said: "Yuan Zai is the same age as me, but he has great talent and Yuan Zai by his side, haha, we will definitely not have to be hungry in the future......

As soon as the joke came out, Chen Xiaoyi stroked his beard and smiled, Xue Wanche also grinned, and Su Yan got up to thank him.

The three of them have enough thoughts, and the meaning in Li Po's words is very clear, Su Yan's biggest advantage is not his talent, but his age, as long as he is not sick or sick, and follows this person, his future will definitely be above the other two......
