Chapter 746: Alternation of the Old and the New, Change of Dynasty (3)
"Lord Wang, since you said that responding to disasters is the most important thing, and sealing the heavens and calling the emperor is secondary. So may I ask you, Lord Wang, how should we behave at this time? Dasi Nong asked.
"Of course, the hoarding of grain is our first and main task." Wang Mang said: "The people take food as the sky, as long as there is food, it is fundamental to help the people survive natural disasters." At the moment, we are seriously short of food stockpiles, and we have to replenish them in large quantities. And it's not just about the lives of the people, it's about all of us. ”
"Hoarding food? How to stock up on food? Huo Jianghai said: "Now almost all parts of Kyushu have been greatly damaged, the crops have been completely destroyed, and the people have no harvest. Moreover, the current season is not the planting season, and it is impossible to call on the people and soldiers to cultivate the fields. So what do we do to hoard food? Go to the sea to fish and catch shrimp, go up to the mountains to hunt? ”
"Going to the sea to catch shrimp and go hunting in the mountains is also a way to go."
Wang Mang said in a deep voice: "At present, there are still a lot of edible foods on the mountains in various places, and we can't let go of these things. You have also seen the relief food I brought from Gansu before, and there are a lot of various turf roots, as well as various special wild vegetables. You can join me in calling on the soldiers to go to the mountains to look for them.
Of course, this is all secondary, and the most important thing for us is to hoard grains, because grains are the foundation and staple food. If there are no grains, then no matter how much else there is, the people will definitely get sick if they eat too much. ”
Wei Gonghan shook his head and said, "Hoarding grains? Where are the grains to stock up on now? Do you want to go to the territory of foreign countries to rob them? But the situation in foreign countries is not much better than ours. If we kill them at this time, it will inevitably cause them to resist hard at home, which will cause us heavy losses. ”
Wang Mang said: "Now hoarding grains is indeed to go to others to rob them, but not to rob them in foreign countries, but to rob them somewhere in our Kyushu." According to my intelligence, that is the only place where there is sufficient food stockpiling. ”
"Where?" Dasi Nong said in a strange voice: "How come I don't know that we still have a lot of places to hoard grain in Kyushu? ”
"It's normal that you don't know because you haven't dealt with them." Wang Mang said.
When Huo Jianghai heard this, he was stunned for a while, and immediately showed a shocked look, he exclaimed: "Could it be them, you want to fight with them?" ”
"Yes, I have this in mind. It's just that they can't come out of the turtle headquarters now, and my family is estimated to have a tie with them. If you are willing to help, this will not be a problem. ”
"I'm in favor of that." Huo Jianghai said hatefully: "Those bastards are lawless and must be eradicated." By killing them, we can not only snatch vital food, but also eradicate the threat to the people, and avenge ourselves by the way. ”
"I also second." Wei Gonghan understood the conversation between Wang Mang and Huo Jianghai, and he also very much agreed to send troops to attack the people in that place, and let out a bad breath in his heart.
After the other ministers pondered for a while, those who were well-informed and quick-thinking gradually reacted.
"Ji family, Wang Mang wants to lead troops to attack the Ji family's headquarters? To grab their food? This is a personal vendetta of the communiqué. ”
"However, the Ji family did too hard some time ago, and almost wiped out the Huo family and the Wei family completely. Now these two great families naturally want to take revenge and come back. ”
"Lord Wang, do you know where the Ji family's headquarters is?" Huo Jianghai said: "This natural disaster befell us, I think not only we have suffered a lot of losses, but they must also have suffered a lot of losses. Now that we are fighting together, we will surely be able to defeat them. Also, when are you going to attack? ”
Wang Mang replied: "I have already found out the location of their headquarters, because I have also arranged internal response over there. As for the timing of the attack, I plan to attack in five days. I don't know what you mean? ”
"Okay, that's fine, five days later, five days later." Wei Gong Han said: "I will pass the order down and let the soldiers of the Wei family prepare." ”
"I'll also arrange it first, attacking the Ji family is not a trivial matter, and many things must be arranged in advance, so I can't be careless." Huojiang Haidao.
"That's very good, you can arrange it first." Wang Mang responded.
Huo Jianghai and Wei Gonghan nodded, and quickly left Weiyang Palace, not in the mood to continue to pay attention to the court.
Seeing this, many of the other ministers of civil and military affairs also stood up and threatened to send troops to cooperate with Wang Mang to attack the Ji family.
Previously, the Ji family was born out of thin air, and the soldiers swept in all directions in four ways, suppressing these powerful families very much. Now these people see that there is a advantage to take advantage of, and they want to take the opportunity to export their evil anger and show their loyalty to Wang Mang by the way.
Wang Mang replied one by one, saying that he would personally lead the troops to attack the Ji family's headquarters in five days, and said that he would come to reconvene the court meeting after taking the Ji family and taking the grain hoard.
All of a sudden, everyone hurried away, arranging various measures and preparations.
When Wang Mang returned to the General's Mansion from the Yang Palace, he called Han Fei'er, He Qing, and Yin Rong, the three beautiful assistants.
These three women helped Wang Mang a lot, and Wang Mang was also very handy in using them.
The three daughters heard Wang Mang's summons and hurried to meet each other.
Wang Mang first told the third daughter about the court meeting, and then said to Han Fei'er: "Fei'er, you can act according to the plan you made before tonight." ”
Han Fei'er glanced at Wang Mang, and muttered: "Young master, you are so bad, you are like those dusty women, you want to be that, and you want to set up an archway, this is not in line with your style."
Also, since the Son of Heaven and the ministers unanimously agreed to nominate the young master to ascend the throne and become the emperor, why did you refuse, you just follow the trend, so I don't have to implement that plan.
Last time, Yin Rong and I designed to get rid of Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty, and now we want to get the Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Ping Dynasty, do you say that we are not the nemesis of the Son of Heaven, and there are actually two Sons of Heaven who want to lose the throne from us, which I couldn't think of before. ”
"Hahahaha...."
Wang Mang laughed and said: "We can be comparable to Empress Wei at the beginning, the first Han Fei'er beauty can actually say this kind of dusty words now, it seems that you have changed a lot in the past few years." But I have my own intentions in doing so. My day is just a transition.
If I agree to the demands of the ministers, then how will I abdicate in the future? Now I let you carry out that plan, which is nothing more than planting a seed of others against me and giving others an excuse. As soon as the plan is launched, others will definitely infer that I have poisoned the Son of Heaven, so that in the future, I will be able to escape from the worldly things and enjoy the world. ”
"Young master, you are so stupid, you can save your reputation and become the emperor forever, but you still don't care about it." Han Fei'er complained, and then continued: "What about how beautiful I look, aren't you still not interested in me?"
If only you could let me serve you like my young grandmother, even once, I would be satisfied. Actually, I really hope that you will become bad, because only in this way will I have the opportunity to serve you with my young grandmother. ”
"Shhhhh.....h Some time ago, because of the fact that the family sent a marriage lady, she made me sulk a lot. ”
