After the dispersal of the dynasty the next morning, King Xian, as always, was in the state administration to inquire about the government, at first Bailiyan didn't care about Jiang Yu's intentions, and only after these years did he find that this step was quite clever.

The State Political Supervisor is the chief official of various departments and departments, and the main office place for office exchanges with middle and low-level officials, and the cabinet meeting after the early dynasty was set up in the State Political Supervisor, which has actually become a semi-open cabinet meeting, as long as Jiang Yu is willing, the number of participants can be expanded at any time.

In the past, cabinet meetings were always held in Guangyuan Hall or Bailing Garden, and only the cabinet and King Xian attended.

"Lord Si Nong, the war in Yan has continued to this day, our army has suffered more than 60,000 casualties, and the financial expenses are huge, when will this war be over."

"King Qiqi, at the end of the year and the beginning of tomorrow, the winner will be divided. Our troops and garrison reinforcements have arrived on the outskirts of the battlefield, but they still need to be carefully planned and deployed before they can launch a counterattack. ”

"In a small Rongcheng place, more than 60,000 people of our army were injured, and the scale of the Northern Expedition will be even larger in the future, and the casualties may not be small."

Lu Gao said worriedly, and King Xian nodded in approval:

"Yes, the whole territory of Rongcheng is only three or four hundred miles away, but it is more than 1.4 million people from the five families of Yan, Wei, Xian, Yuke, and Nanban Jin Xuedi.

"The king doesn't need to worry, now it's a defensive operation, and the Northern Expedition has its own Northern Expedition tactics."

"Could it be that Lord Sinong has a good strategy for the Northern Expedition?"

King Xian asked curiously, Bai Liyan nodded to confirm the existence of the plan, and said:

"The armpit invasion is actually a passive defense of our Central Plains, if it is a scorched earth resistance, the minister can abandon the coast, let it drive straight in, and then mobile combat, and destroy it in the movement.

However, half of the economic centers of the princes are close to the sea, and if they abandon the coast and carry out the scorched earth war of resistance, millions of people along the coast will have no livelihood, which will inevitably lead to a major disaster, and at the same time, it will also threaten the source of patriotic soldiers, which is not conducive to a protracted war of resistance.

Now that the Changsun Peninsula has become a scorched earth, our army's Northern Expedition has no worries, and it can be maneuvered with mobile warfare. ”

There is a large amount of land for economic construction and agriculture along the coast of the Central Plains, which feeds more than half of the population of the coastal princes, there are too many jars and jars, and the impact of economic destruction is too great.

However, the economic foundation and social system of the Changsun Peninsula have been basically destroyed in the past five or six years, so there are no pots and pots and no burdens, and it is possible to carry out mobile operations and large-scale in-depth roundabout strikes, divide and encircle, and concentrate superior forces to encircle and annihilate a group of enemies.

"After the end of the war in Yan State next year and the entrenched enemy of Liang State is expelled, the minister will organize a larger-scale counterattack operation, when the strength of the Xian army will reach an unprecedented level, and the casualties will further rise, and the king should also be psychologically prepared."

"The widow wants to expel the thieves from the Central Plains at any cost, and the widow is more worried about whether the Xianguo financial support and whether the medicine and medical treatment are sufficient.

Thirty years ago, most of the soldiers who were severely injured could not escape a death, but now the medical skills are excellent, although there are many survivors, but the disabled are even worse, after the war, the Xianguo has increased by hundreds of thousands of cripples, and financial subsidies are needed, and in the long run, no matter how big the Xianguo is, it will be difficult to continue. ”

"What the king said is that now the medical technology is extremely advanced, which has greatly reduced the mortality rate, and it has indeed increased the financial burden after the war, but the king should think more far. The vast majority of these disabled soldiers still have childbearing, and even part of the ability to work, if they can get married to support their families and have children, the imperial court will give them some assistance, and after 20 years, their children will be the new force of the Xian country.

However, if a large number of males die, population growth will shrink dramatically. In the long run, a soldier with a disability is better than a soldier who dies. What's more, about 30 percent of those are disabled due to injuries, and less than half of those who are completely incapacitated for work are about 30 percent, which is not too high.

As for finance, based on the estimation of the comprehensive expansion of the Northern Expedition next year, China's financial resources will be able to guarantee that there will be no worries for two years, and after two years, it will be necessary to issue a large number of treasury bonds and use the reserves of Qianfang to maintain basic operation, and the finances will become difficult in 663, but it is still possible to raise donations from the whole country to maintain the continuation of the war.

However, according to the minister's judgment, the war lasted until 661, and the coalition forces would basically win the victory on the Changsun Peninsula, so it was unlikely to drag on until 663. ”

Jiang Yu looked at Qiao Cheng at this time and asked:

"Jonay, is it feasible for Lord Si Nong to list the contents?"

"King Qiqi, the budget is based on the coefficient of 1.5 times and the scale of the Rongcheng Campaign, so there are discrepancies. If the scale is less than previously anticipated, the time can be extended backwards, or earlier if it is larger than expected. However, the domestic economy is extremely prosperous, and the available money is abundant, and the money in the treasury is sufficient. ”

"Later, the basis of the calculation and the accounts will be brought to the widow, and the widow will examine it himself."

"The minister commands."

In terms of finances, Jiang Yu often stretched out his hand to intervene, firstly, King Xian was still the monarch with real power, and there was an obstacle to the use of military power, if it was not a matter of principle, Bailiyan had no reason to interfere with his financial inspection or even use of financial resources.

Secondly, on the day of Jiang Yu's succession, the huge amount of gold and silver treasures in the inner government disappeared, which made him very sensitive to money, and Bailiyan also lost a lot.

However, Jiang Yu is a little similar to Jiang Hai, he will not point out the country casually, he only looks at the results, and after seeing the results, he turns around and looks at the process.

To be precise, Bailiyan found that most of the salt lord family has such a characteristic, first wait for you to implement the result, if it is good, then it is easy to say, if it is not good, the three-plate axe is waiting for you, which is more or less related to the ruthlessness of the salt owl's smuggling in the early years. Because in the smuggling industry, the middleman has little trust at all, and only when there is a result, and it is a long-term and stable credit result, can you prove that you are fine.

Of course, there is a premise for judging right and wrong after looking at the results, and there must be sufficient resources and money for you to toss.

If there are no resources, there is no abundant funds, if the minister wants to do something, if the monarch is short-sighted and cares about money, as long as he shakes his head, the reform will be yellow. Jiang Zhen's bearing today is to a large extent the foundation laid during Jiang Hai's administration.

At the beginning, Yongxing built the city to implement reforms, and if there was no million inches of silver exchanged for a pool of pearls in Bailiyan, Xianguo would not have been able to push forward the reform at all.

Moreover, for many years after that, Yongxing City received almost no financial allocation, and was always self-financed, and after making profits, it had to pay taxes and pledges to balance the fiscal deficit and improve the country's situation, so as to continue to promote reform and completely turn the fiscal situation around.

In addition, many projects are actually Sanhou's private funds to invest money first, and then see the benefits, and the treasury follows up and then invests money, which is less risky and more profitable. When the vast majority of projects are beneficial, Jiang Hai and his son can't feel inappropriate.

Finally, Bailiyan's predictability of trends and technology avoids detours and unnecessary failures, and politically flexible strategies reduce resistance. This alone is not something that others can imitate.

After the cabinet disbanded, Bai Liyan went abroad to be the political supervisor and was about to leave the palace, but Lu Gao chased after him and called him and asked:

"Yongxing Hou, the third phase of the car factory has been put into production, so it is possible that the ironclad chariot will be able to be used next year."

"The chariot will only be produced in December, and it is tentatively scheduled to produce 100 vehicles next year, judging from the current war, if the war of Yan State can be ended early next year, repaired in March and April, and the battle of Liang State will start in the summer, it should be able to put forty or fifty vehicles into battle. This is very beneficial to the recovery of Tianyun and Jingang. ”

"So the Northern Expedition will have more tanks."

"Yes, and there will be better in two years, and maybe the war will be over by then."

The biggest obstacle to the Northern Expedition was the armpit heavy army group, which landed at Rongcheng Port this time and reached two front armies, seven whole formed armies, and affiliated divisions, about 300,000 people.

The three lines of defense inside and outside the coalition army have accumulated more than 1.4 million people, and the strength is 4.5 to 1, if they can knock out most of them, and next year they will take the entrenched enemy of the Liang State, and in 18 months, they will lose 450,000 people and severely damage a heavy army group.

In order to deal with the nearly one million enemies entrenched in the northern part of the peninsula, it is very inappropriate to continue the current linear defense, and it is imperative to use tanks and vehicles to form motorized divisions, and to carry out interspersed and roundabout, concentrated forces and movements.

King Xian is worried about casualties, because of the current passive situation, the result of tactical rigidity, the tactical efficiency of mobile warfare is higher, the ratio of troops is larger, and the casualties can be relatively smaller, but the cost is to spend more industrial resources to allocate elite troops.

Lu Gao's interest in tanks was mostly taken for granted, and he wanted to rely on hundreds or thousands of armored vehicles to attack in groups, launch a dense charge tactic, and destroy the armpits in one fell swoop.

However, due to the constraints of communication technology, hundreds or thousands of armored vehicles, tanks, and cluster charges are very ineffective. Each combat organization could not communicate with each other and could not coordinate with each other, and finally it became a mess.

Leaving the palace, Bailiyan took the East City to the residence of the Zhiguo Mission.

During the alliance, the princes' missions were stationed in the host country to facilitate communication, and under traditional cold-weapon warfare, the missions often followed the combat army. Now that the situation has changed, the communication has changed, and the envoys have naturally changed their practice of being stationed in Chenling.

Gongliangxiu stayed in Chenling for a year, and he went to all the places he could go, inspecting more than 600 projects, projects and enterprises, large and small.

The princes of other countries are getting poorer and poorer the more they fight, only the Xianguo is becoming more and more economically vigorous, and the total economic volume of the capital county has more than doubled compared with the pre-war period, except for the three counties of Qingtian, Sangnan, and Sangbei, the smallest counties have also increased by seven to eighty percent, and the other counties are generally more than 1.5 times.

When entering the palace, Gongliangxu was watching the video to his father Gongliangxiu, his brother Gongliangnuo, and the other families, which were some video materials recorded in the battles of Liangxian, Jinye, and Cuicheng, as well as the content of the adventure records during the fierce battle in Rongcheng Port for several months.

In addition, there are some records of air ship reconnaissance and aerial photography, although there is no sound effect, but the realistic war pictures and casualties still left a deep impression on the generals.

After all, in their philosophy, such bloody paintings, once in the past, will always exist only in memory.

Knowing that Bailiyan was visiting, Gongliangxiu signaled Gongliangxu to suspend the screening and went to the atrium to receive him.

"The scattered dynasty came to me soon, not with ulterior motives."

"Hehe, they are all in-laws, why do you have ulterior motives, you won't let me stand here all the time."

"Inside, please."
