Wei Kun heard Jia Ke's order, and hurriedly said: "Master, Tang Kuo has already released all the spies under him, and the Tatars can't escape our eyes even if there is a little wind and grass." ”

Jia Ke was not very relieved, and asked Li Deshan next to him, "What news did your secret guards get?" Haven't I become blind? ”

Li Deshan heard this and hurriedly said to Jia Ke: "Master, it's not that the slaves didn't get the news, but the slaves' people mainly monitor the country, and some of the whips are beyond the reach of foreign affairs, if the master needs it, I will arrange people for the slaves, and there will never be such a thing in the future." ”

Jia Ke thought for a while and said, "In this case, I will send some people to the south and north to try to find out the news, even if I want to know the price of those prices." ”

Li Deshan immediately kept expressing his attitude to Jia Ke beside him, "Master, the slave is not exaggerating to you, as long as the slave does this, they will know if they have any trouble within a year." ”

Jia Ke was relieved to hear this, he was not like the original court did it, the Tatars had hit the door, and they were on the defensive.

This time, Jia Ke must do it when he is in charge of the world, I will not move if the enemy has not moved, and I will move first if the enemy has moved.

"You send someone to contact the Manchu Eight Banners, so that they can be ready and listen to my orders at any time, and once my generals are down, they will immediately take up the armor people in the clan and join me."

Jia Ke thought that this time it should be the time for the Manchu Eight Banners to show their faces, in the past, Jia Ke was taboo against the pressure of the emperor, so the Manchu Eight Banners have not been exposed, and now these taboos are finally not used.

According to Jia Ke's estimate, the current Manchu Eight Banners are also strong and strong, and if the Eight Banners tribes go out together, there will be at least 150,000 or 60,000 cavalry.

When the time comes, plus the elite cavalry and foot soldiers of the nine sides, he will lead 500,000 soldiers to the north to sweep the grassland this time, so that Arslen Khan can also taste the taste of being beaten to the doorstep.

After Wei Kun went down, Jia Ke thought about his mind completely. felt that there was no negligence, so he gave an order to let the five ministers of military aircraft and Peng Bi, the secretary of the military department, come to his lobby to meet immediately.

The five ministers of military aircraft came very quickly because they had been working in front of the prime minister's yamen.

When these five people came to the lobby, they saluted Jia Ke first, and Sun Yan, as the foreman, was the first to ask: "Isn't there anything urgent about the lord?" Call us in such a hurry. ”

"Wait a while, wait until the military department book comes, and then say it together, otherwise you have to explain."

So these five military ministers could only stand below and wait, and at the same time, they began to ponder in their hearts.

The prime minister is waiting for the military department to be booked, it seems that this time the matter is related to the army, so there is no war again.

Except for Fan Kang, a few of them have never been through the war, and now they are all a little flustered, and they don't know where the chaos is in the world.

Without a stick of incense, Peng Bi, the secretary of the military department, rushed over, and when he came to the lobby, he was still a little panting, and it seemed that he had not stopped trotting all the way.

Peng Bi came to the lobby to calm down for a while, and then confessed to Jia Ke, "It's too late, please forgive the lord." ”

Jia Ke didn't blame, just asked him to return to the class, then stood up and said, "Just now I got news from the north that Arslen Khan has returned from the Western Regions to the grassland. What are your thoughts on this? ”

Although Sun Yan is the Minister of Military Aircraft, he is really not good at these things of marching and fighting, but he can still say only a few things in a general sense, "I see, the Tatars have been fighting frequently in recent years, and I think they should rest for a few years in order to recover, otherwise if they fight with our dynasty again, I am afraid it will be time to exterminate the clan." ”

The others nodded their heads on the basis of this, and they did not think that the Tatars were still capable of continuing their invasion of the south.

Only Fan Kang shook his head a little when he heard their optimistic opinions.

How do you know that Fan Kang's performance was seen by Jia Ke, "Fan Kang, don't shake your head there, if you have anything to say, you can stand up and say something." ”

Fan Kang saw that Jia Ke had already found out, so he could only stand up and say, "According to my inference, Arslen Khan will go south this autumn. ”

"Oh, why?"

"Lord, Arslen Khan is also a hero, and the conceit is very high, but he has repeatedly failed under the hands of the lord, his heart must not be angry, this time Arslen Khan pacified the Western Regions, defeated dozens of countries, the army under his command, must be morale, and got a lot of slaves and mercenaries in the Western Regions, think to come to Arslen Khan thinks that now he can fight with the lord, with his character must not wait to recover, this year will be a big battle with the lord."

Jia Ke nodded after hearing this, Fan Kang is worthy of being his chief military advisor, and the head of the analysis of this matter is the Tao, which is exactly the same as what he thinks in his heart.

After listening to Fan Kang's words, several other ministers of military aircraft also began to be a little shaken by what he said.

Jia Ke then asked Peng Bi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, "Can our grain and grass support hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight?" ”

Peng Bi thought for a while, pondered carefully for a while, and then said: "Lord Qiqi, this year we have a bumper harvest in the whole country, and the grain that I want to harvest should be enough, but it still needs to be carefully calculated by the household department." ”

Jia Ke pondered for a moment, and then said directly to Sun Yan: "Your military aircraft department will give an order to the household department now, and from now on, I will be able to hoard 500,000 soldiers and fight for half a year's food in the autumn." ”

Sun Yan frowned a little after hearing this, but still said resolutely: "Lord, there is no problem with the matter of grain and grass, I just robbed and raised food for the lord." ”

After hearing this, Jia Ke said with a smile: "What do you say about whether to grab or not, it hasn't reached this point yet." If the imperial court is in difficulty, it is not impossible to solve it. ”

Sun Yan didn't think there was any way to raise so much food without breaking his bones, but since Jia Ke said it, he also had to ask: "Lord, isn't there already any success?" ”

Jia Ke smiled and nodded, then stood up and walked between them and said: "Although the imperial court is a little difficult, but those rich people in the people are very rich, if they contribute, not to mention the grain and grass of the 500,000 army, it is a million, 2 million army of grain and grass, it is also easy to raise." ”

Tian Ye, the minister of military aircraft who had just returned from the south, was a little incredulous after listening to Jia Ke's words, but he had seen the stinginess of these rich men in the south, and it was simply a fantasy to let them produce so much grain.

So Tian Ye asked in disbelief: "What is the prime minister's good plan?" ”

"It's not a smart way, this time I went north, I grabbed the land and didn't plan to leave, there are so many endless fertile land, how can I sell it for some money."

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Sun Yan and the others suddenly realized that if these rich landowners were most concerned about something, it would naturally be the land. As long as you exchange land for food with them, are you afraid that they will not agree?

Jia Ke actually had this idea for a long time, he thought that it was to nationalize the land in the interior of the Central Plains as much as possible, and then lease it to the landless civilians, and then plunder the land of the countries around the Central Plains as much as possible, and then sell it to these rich people.

This time, Jia Ke went north to think about doing a pilot in the north first, to see if it could succeed, if it succeeded, then the land in the south that was three times a year would naturally be able to sell for a lot of money, and there was no shortage of people who cultivated land in the densely populated area.

Sun Yan has now put down his mind, they naturally know that there is no problem in raising grain and grass this time, and since they have relaxed their minds, they have begun to think about how to defeat the Tatars, otherwise they will have a thousand clever plans, and in the end they will not be able to appease these landlords and old fortunes who have made money.

Sun Yan thought for a moment, since he had decided to sell the land he had seized when the northern victory came, he had to have a price, "My lord, at what price will the land in the north be sold?" ”

Jia Ke thought about it for a while, and he couldn't make up his mind, and he was also afraid that he would lose money in this transaction.

"Fan Kang, what do you think?"

Fan Kang rolled his eyes a little when he heard Jia Ke ask again, yes or couldn't help but answer, "Lord, now the land in our Central Plains is about between eight taels and twelve taels, and the land we have seized in the north should not have been reclaimed, so it can only be sold as wasteland, so that according to the price of the Central Plains, it will be four or five taels." ”

Fan Kang stopped speaking when he said this, this is to leave room for Jia Ke to perform, he is a subordinate, does he really compare himself to his master?

Jia Ke nodded after listening to Fan Kang's introduction, "It seems that if we sell it high, those rich people will not obediently pay for food." ”

After Jia Ke said this, he thought about it carefully, and this time he wanted to give these rich landowners a little sweetness, so the land could not be sold too high, so that they could do their best to contribute food and money, and if there was a war in the future, they would definitely actively participate.

"I think so, the land in the north will be sold at 150 catties of grain per acre, what do you think?"

The following ministers of military aircraft looked at each other, and then they all nodded, the price that Jia Ke had come out of was extremely low, and I thought that those rich people would definitely flock to it.

Jia Ke saw that everyone had already nodded in agreement, so just like Sun Yan ordered: "This matter will be handed over to the Military Aircraft Department, and you will arrange to disclose the news to those rich landowners, and then collect the grain uniformly, and then issue a receipt to them." ”

After listening to Jia Ke's instructions, Sun Yan immediately said: "Lord, we always have a limit, otherwise these rich people must be crazy when they hear such cheap land, how can we sell so much land to them." ”

Jia Ke thought about it, this time the victory or defeat of going north is unpredictable, although Jia Ke expected to be able to seize some land, but if he wants to satisfy the appetite of these rich people in the world, I am afraid it will be a drop in the bucket.

"Then sell 5 million acres of land, try the water first, don't have so much land to deliver at that time, then the court will be embarrassed."
