Guo Rong, who has a lot of opportunities, doesn't know that Qin Yue will return almost in vain this time, and he won't take this matter to heart, the king of a country, the day is full of opportunities, no matter how he arranges, it is not his turn to pay attention to the little in the Huya Camp.

At this time, he was standing outside the hall, looking up at the sky attentively, a purple robe was obviously the old clothes from a few years ago, washed white and hazy, and the bottom of the sleeves was as pale as paper.

He was in the prime of life, but his face was haggard and dull yellow, and he looked even more tired against the half-worn black gauze head.

After a long time, Guo Rong rubbed his eyebrows and said to the inner servant Gan Pei: "It is said that Wang Xiang, Fan Xiang, Wei Xiang, Li Xiang, and Wang Pu came to the palace to discuss matters. ”

"Yes, Fan Xiang is sick and recuperating at home, and Wang Pu is presiding over the planning ...... outside the city."

"I forgot about this stubble, go back and go to the queen, find some tonic medicine and send it to Fan's mansion, Wang Pu doesn't need to shout."

"No."

After a while, the three prime ministers who were on duty came one after another.

Guo Rong got straight to the point: "The two things discussed today, one is that the Hulu River has been dredged, this Li Yankou is 100 miles away from Jizhou in the south and 30 miles away from Shenzhou in the north, which is quite critical. ”

Wang Pu, the squire of the Chinese book, said: "The saint is far-sighted, and this strategy is very good, but Jizhou has few people and weak troops, so it may be difficult to divide the troops again." ”

Guo Rong said: "How about drawing troops from the river? ”

"A monotonous army, I am afraid that the strength will not be enough, if the Liao country gets the information, it will definitely attack, then the fort will be difficult for a while, it is better to draw another one, an army to resist the enemy, an army to base the city, then it will be a good thing."

The speaker was the deputy privy envoy Wei Renpu, who was a great contributor to Guo Wei's army, well-read, resourceful, and loyal. When Guo Wei was dying, he repeatedly emphasized that Wei Renpu should not be allowed to leave the Privy Council, and after Guo Rong took the throne, he let him enter the same phase with Zhongshu.

Someone wrote that Wei Renpu has no merit and fame, and he can't be a minister, Guo Rong said: "Since ancient times, it has been slightly assisted by civil and military talents, and it is all due to the evil of Kedi!" "Extremely trusted by Guo Rong.

Wang Pu said: "What Wei Xiang said is very good, Zhangxin Jiedu makes Han Tong the best at civil engineering, and he is in harmony with Wang Yanchao, so it is better for the two of them to lead the army, how about it?" ”

Guo Rong praised the goodness, and the agreement was decided. He also said: "In the land of Qin and Feng, people complain about the harsh government of Shu, and they write books one after another, begging to raise troops to recover the old land, what do the secretaries think?" ”

Li Gu hurriedly said: "The treasury is empty, don't use swords and soldiers." ”

He was a little impatient with the discussion of building a fort at first, and when he heard the meaning of the saint's words, he was even more frightened. He is the third envoy, the prime minister, and he is anxious when he hears about the use of money.

"The minister also thinks that the current time should be focused on restoring people's livelihood."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Guo Rong nodded slightly, and his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest on the side of the chair, "I also know that money and food are in short supply, but Qin Feng's second place is far away from Shuzhong, and it is inconvenient for the Shu army to transfer troops, so our army does not need to work hard to mobilize the people, just Fengxiang Festival Wang Jing's army and horses are enough, so that the cost of money and food will be small." ”

"Shengshang, the people of the four states of Qin Fengcheng are barren, and they have been looted by Xishu in the past few years, and I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses if they are captured at this time."

"Wei Qing only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other."

Guo Rong said: "With Qinfeng Road in hand, my country's trade with the Western Regions will open the door to convenience, otherwise if the current detour is far away, it will be unfavorable to the trade road, and Xishu will be cheaper in vain."

And also...... In the first month, did you forget the affairs of Xiazhou? Then Li Yixing was ashamed to fold virtue and was also a festival envoy, and he was juxtaposed with himself, so he dared to block the road and not pass through the envoys, what was the basis? ”

The three important ministers hurriedly got up to make amends: "The ministers dare not forget." ”

Wang Pu thought for a while and said, "Since the Holy Lord has made up his mind, the minister will recommend another person as the deputy marshal to assist Lao Wang Jing in using troops." ”

"Oh, I don't know who Wang Qing recommends?"

"Xuanhui Southern Academy's envoy Xiang Xun is brave and strategic, and he is up to the task."

"Good. In this case, Wang Jing recruited envoys for the southwest camp, and Xiang Xun was the capital supervisor of the camp, and he marched in the near future. ”

Li Gu cried and said with a sad face: "Holy Lord, the treasury ......"

Guo Rong waved his hand to stop Li Gu's topic, and said: "The matter of Qin Fenglu is so decided, the money and grain are turnover, and Li Qing has a lot of plans." Now we'll talk about the financial plan. ”

The national strength is poor, the treasury is empty, I don't know how many times this issue has been discussed by the DPRK-China General Assembly, Guo Rong is anxious, the ministers are also anxious, and Prime Minister Li Gu's hair is gray, but in the face of all kinds of difficulties, he is still at a loss.

So when they heard that they were going to discuss the financial plan, the brows of the two rulers also wrinkled in unison.

"In the past two years, persuading farmers and mulberry and revitalizing business roads have been doing, and they have been quite effective, and last month they introduced the encouragement policy of fleeing from Zhuangtian and trapping feudal households, and the feedback from the following states and counties is also very good, the saint does not need to be too anxious, and when it comes to autumn, the situation will inevitably improve, and the matter of recovering Qinfeng Road will be slowed down?"

Guo Rong shook his head and said tiredly: "I can't wait, it's a matter of trade in the Western Regions and the restoration of Qindi, and the use of troops in the southwest cannot be delayed."

In order to prevent the Liao State from plundering, Li Yankou's fortification and garrison also needed to start construction immediately.

The expansion of the city in Beijing is not stopped every day, and the reorganization of the forbidden army is also the top priority.

Let's talk about it casually, everywhere is waiting for the imperial court to fill it, today will drag on tomorrow, tomorrow will be tomorrow, when will it be done? ”

Wei Renpu persuaded: "If you ascend to the great treasure above the saint, it will be difficult to do all kinds of waste, as long as it takes time, you will be able to sing a triumphant song." ”

"Time is not waiting, seize the day. Zhongqing think about it more and break through this difficulty, Li Qing, you are the prime minister, you say it first. ”

Li Gu looked at Wang Pu and the three of them, and said stubbornly: "The minister has ordered the states of Yousi to look for copper mines, and if there are new mines, there will be copper coins, which can solve the worries of the country." ”

Guo Rong nodded, obviously not very satisfied, and looked at Wang Pu again.

Wang Pu said: "Last year, the Holy Lord issued an order to eliminate the old and weak of the forbidden army, reduce the cost of redundant food, increase the labor force in the fields, and reclaim the wasteland, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"You mean re-disarmament?"

"The forbidden army has been reduced, and all military towns can be extended, release the old and weak, and implement the policy of elite soldiers."

Guo Rong bowed his head, "This proposal is advisable, but it is only a drop in the bucket."

But when you mentioned this, I remembered that now there are many barren fields, and the cultivation power is insufficient, and if the measures are done properly, there is still a new force available......"

"No, never."

Li Gu was startled, he obviously knew what the saint wanted to say, so he hurriedly stopped it regardless of Chaoyi.

Guo Rong glanced at Li Gu with dissatisfaction, and said firmly: "As long as I can solve the dilemma of the empty treasury and the shortage of people, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely do it." ”

Wang Pu and Wei Renpu didn't know the reason, and asked, "I don't know which new force it is?" ”

“…… Release the door. ”

At this time, Wang Pu only felt a cold air rising from the soles of his feet, and said busily: "Absolutely not." ”

Wei Renpu also stood up to dissuade: "Please think twice." ”

"Why not."

Guo Rong looked upright, got up and said: "Today, when it comes to wealth, Shimen is the first.

There are many people who believe in Buddhism in the government and the opposition, from the powerful and the ministers to the common people, and the number of devout worshippers is unknown; Shimen does not pay taxes, because there are wealthy families, and the rich family takes refuge with land;

The Buddha statue is either a copper tire or an iron heart, and it is covered with gold powder, and the cost is unknown;

The monks are empty-handed, but they don't produce ......"

Wang Pu didn't dare to listen to it anymore, coughed lightly, and said: "It involves the wonderful way of Buddhism, and the saint ......."

Guo Rong saw that the three Zaizhi looked nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy, sighed, sat down in a dejected manner, clenched and released the hands on the armrests, loosened and clenched, and so on several times, and finally nodded and said, "This matter can be discussed later, but what other ways can be done?" ”

The Liberation Gate is huge, everyone knows that the Buddhist family is rich, everyone knows it.

The whole country does not know how many temples there are, and how many monks there are, and the believers do not know how many, it is related to the stability of the country and the happiness of the people.

Even Guo Rong changed the old house in Beijing into an imperial temple last year to worship the Buddha.

Disrespect is already a sin, dare to be disrespectful.

Li Gu didn't care about the sweat on his face, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the southwest crusade against major events, the allocation of grain and grass to maintain military needs, the minister must do his best, not to delay the slightest." ”

"The national economy and the people's livelihood, the ministers and others have done their best, please be relieved."

Wang Pu saw that Guo Rong listened, paused, and said cautiously: "The expansion of the Beijing Division, with Wang Pu in charge, is currently being carried out in an orderly manner, only to build Luocheng, the civil service required is very large, can it be delayed?" ”

Seeing that Guo Rong's face was uncertain, he hurriedly added: "Just delay until after the autumn harvest, and then collect and send 100,000 soldiers and civilians, and the speed will be faster." ”
