Li Jiazhuang, Ministry of Intelligence.

"According to the information sent by Luoyang recently, there will definitely be major events in Luoyang in the future. There are signs that there are many things that are not right. The lieutenant colonel's intelligence chief said worriedly. Luoyang in the south has always been the focus of intelligence collection. Based on the recent news and the information sent by Firefox, the intelligence department has initially come to the conclusion that many of them have not been able to use other information to prove that their situation is in the most favorable situation, and they are completely unclear about the extent to which the specific things will develop, but what they can clearly know is that something big will happen.

"Well, that's exactly what happened." Xu Dou looked at the intelligence analysis report and nodded in agreement.

"But the problem is, we can't be involved in this report, we report to the above, but how exactly? We don't know at all. Xu Dou said.

The IRA's intelligence operations are all positive and meaningful. In such a situation, they will have a lot of problems to solve, for example, in this situation, they will have a lot of things to solve.

Assuming that something big happens in Luoyang in the future, what will be the result? It's natural to be able to get involved and muddy things. Let the situation move towards a situation where the IRA can develop.

But it's a pity that the one that may happen, they can only be temporarily set in the palace, and the specific character may be Jian Shuo or Zhang Rang. There are others, in short, a lot of things are developing differently. In addition to this, there are other things that they have to pay attention to.

That's their intelligence power. The IRA's intelligence personnel are still severely understaffed, and they are not yet able to exert a significant impact. In addition, the military strength of the Republican Army is unable to form a great development and provide effective support in more distant places, so many places will have an unfavorable situation for them, and this is the situation they are currently encountering, and if they want to complete such a situation, this is a situation that cannot be completed at all.

"This." The intelligence chief was helpless. He didn't have a good way, in the past, they could plan some actions to sabotage, or influence the other party, but now, they suddenly found that they only had supernumerary personnel, and if they rashly launched an action, it would inevitably bring them a big purge.

The imperial court's attitude towards the espionage activities of the intelligence department is extremely resolute, that is, killing, although the past purge activities have caused little damage to the intelligence personnel of the Republican Army, but the impact is very great, and the people of Luoyang are now talking about spies. Without him, it is because spies have damaged the interests of many people. In particular, their lives have been greatly threatened, which has caused great trouble to the IRA's intelligence operations, and taking action at this time will only make the intelligence system that has just been established extremely fragile. Or even destruction. That's not a good thing for them.

"Forget it. We're here to keep a close eye on the situation, and although the timing isn't too good, it's enough for us. Xu Dou thought about it and said, although he couldn't participate in it, it was enough to explain a series of problems. The development of their forces is still insufficient, but they still have an advantage, and it is still possible to pay close attention and gather intelligence.

Although there is some helplessness, even unwillingness, this is the best way for them at the moment. Only by preserving themselves can they achieve greater development in the next battle, so that their situation can become more favorable.

Jingshi, Luoyang. Zhang Rang was in a resting place in the South Palace.

He was annoyed right now. But I was very worried.

The annoyance is Jian Shuo, and His Majesty the Emperor is very supportive of Jian Shuo. He has been by his side for the past few days, which is far more than his regular attendant. This made Zhang Rang very jealous, annoyed, and most importantly, Jian Shuo's power was very great.

His Majesty's meaning is already clear. Waste grows and grows young. And the best help that can ensure that the waste can be carried out is Jianshuo.

It can be seen that he will lose the protection of the emperor in the future, and Zhang Rang knows very well where everything he comes from. Once he loses the protection of the emperor, he is nothing, and besides, those civil and military ministers are very fierce to themselves. Once they lose their shelter, they are quickly eaten. The end was extremely tragic.

This is what worries Zhang Rang the most.

"Alas. Is this all there is to our family? Zhang Rang sighed. It is Jian Shuo who is favored, and the best one in the future is his Jian Shuo, not Zhang Rang. This made Zhang Rang very unwilling, if such a thing really happened, what would be the result? The consequences are simply unimaginable.

Zhang Rang was very unwilling. Because of the strength of Jian Shuo. It means that he has nothing to do with him. Zhang Rang is unwilling, his prospects in the future are very bad, thinking of this, Zhang Rang wants to retreat to the Republican Army, but is that feasible? Zhang Rang shook his head. He decided to do something.

"In that case, our family has nothing to do." Zhang Rang said that he knew very well what Jian Shuo wanted to do.

A group of small yellow gates in the palace were organized, they were not many in number, but there were also three or four hundred people, and they were armed with firearms. It's still very powerful, and they have to practice it every day. Simple, easy to get started, what is it for? Zhang Rang was clear.

Jian Shuo's biggest opponent is the general He Jin, and He Jin is the sphere of influence on Empress He's side. In this way, a living road was suddenly paved in front of Zhang Rang.

"Hahaha." Zhang Rang suddenly laughed, and then sneered. All at once, he saw where his train of thought was. Thinking about this, Zhang Rang also began to actively prepare.

The general He Jin did not lead his troops north for a long time, which caused Jian Shuo's dissatisfaction, but they were dissatisfied, and they couldn't do something out of the ordinary, after all, such a situation was normal.

But it has existed for a long time, but it is not good for the emperor to abolish Chang Liyu, Jian Shuo has already planned to keep the emperor alive after his death, and take the opportunity to get rid of the general He Jin.

Jian Shuo's plan was very good, but Zhang Rang saw it. As long as Zhang Rang leaked these plans, everything could be in his favor.

For the sake of his great future, Zhang Rang can only do this. Jian Shuo, this is what you have to do yourself, this can't blame others, Zhang Rang thought so.

Inside Cao Cao's mansion.

"This year's income has decreased by nearly 40% compared to previous years, but the expenses have more than tripled. The deficit is huge. Cao Cao said worriedly.

His Majesty's health is much worse than before, but what is even more critical is the financial revenue situation of the empire.

The fiscal deficit will widen further, and even if it is an increase in tax revenue, it will not be balanced.

"Well, the trouble is still very big, on the one hand, Your Majesty has been asking for more and more medicine recently, and Your Majesty has a lot of money in Nuku, and these money are sent from the locality, but how did all this come about? We know best. Xi Zhicai said.

On the other hand, the suffering of the people is already great. Unable to afford such onerous taxes, they were forced to do something. As a result, more and more money from the local treasury was spent on suppressing local rebellions. However, the rebellion seriously affected the taxes in various places, and so on, the cycle was repeated, and finally we and other money and food were in the most unfavorable situation. Xi Zhicai said.

This is simply an unsolvable problem. The reason is simple.

The emperor constantly needs to spend money, but how to get the money, can only increase taxes to replace, and increase taxes, the pressure on the people becomes great, in order to solve the problem of survival, they have to take risks, uprisings and rebellion, and the imperial court in order to suppress, has to strengthen the local military force to suppress, so that there are a lot of places to spend money.

In order to solve this problem, the imperial court has borrowed money from merchants several times to tide over the difficulties, but the merchants' money has not been returned, and most importantly, the interest has increased a lot, you know, the interest of merchants is very high. Some members of the court had already begun to deliberate, and they believed that the court was not obligated to repay the money borrowed by the merchants.

"If you don't repay the borrowed money, in this way, the credibility of the imperial court will be seriously discredited." Cao Cao said very sadly.

The financial deficit, and the ministers of the court, actually came up with such a trick to deal with, this is simply to completely trample on the credibility of the court, just imagine, if the court has no credibility, everything will become extremely difficult, in the face of such a situation, he really does not know what kind of situation will cause them such a disaster.

"This matter is very difficult to deal with, and it is difficult to deal with everything." Xi Zhicai said embarrassedly.

These things are really very difficult to deal with, and the reason is very simple, because one link is linked to another, and when it comes to dealing with it, they often take care of one thing at the expense of the other, which is the biggest difficulty for them.

Cao Cao was very depressed, he felt very aggrieved, he wanted to solve many, many shortcomings in this country, but the problem was that things became complicated, from the center to the locality, all kinds of problems continued to erupt, and it was difficult to solve, the officials of the imperial court were busy fighting for power and profit, and they were indifferent to the life and death of the people at the bottom, and occasionally some officials would do such things, but their efforts were just a drop in the bucket. Cao Cao was very aggrieved, he didn't know how to go in the future, this was a very miserable place for him personally. If such a thing can be solved.

Is it possible? Cao Cao lost faith in the future.
