Chen An arched his hand and said, "The minister understands. ”

Liu Yong nodded, and then asked, "What is the movement of the Tartar slaves in the north now?" ”

Wu Qing, the minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Tartar slaves are still standing still, but they are still recruiting troops and stepping up their training. It's just that their recruitment strategy doesn't seem to be going well. There are few Tatars, so they can only requisition Han people, but who is willing to fight for them? The young and strong hid themselves.

In this way, it seems that the Tarslav is not ready to fight us. But their preparedness was pretty good. According to the spies, especially the important places along the river, the defense is even more impassable. It seems that it will not be an easy task for our army to fight through. ”

Now, Guan Chao of Shenjimen has gone to Xiyun to be a high-ranking official, and the business of Shenjimen is temporarily managed by Wu Qing. Because this god machine gate is so important. Especially in this time of tension with the Tatars.

Liu Yong listened to Wu Qing's words and frowned. After a moment of silence, he said, "It seems that this Tartar slave wants to guard." ”

Wu Qing said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister also thinks so. ”

Liu Yong said: "In this way, the Tatar slaves don't want to take back half of the country south of the Tianjiang River. ”

Wu Qing said: "According to the intelligence obtained by the spies, the Tatar slaves' policy towards our Huahan has indeed changed. ”

Liu Yong said: "In this way, didn't we miss the best opportunity to fight to the death with the Tarslaves? ”

There was silence for a while, the ministers.

At this time, Chen An stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it may not be. Since the Tarnus only want to hold half of the country north of the Tianjiang River. That means that they are already afraid of us Huahan. The minister thought that the most important reason why they wanted to change their policy towards Huahan was that they did not hold Xi'an and Liyue.

The current geopolitical situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for them. That's why they had to change their policy. The minister guessed that the Dayang court was likely to have reached an agreement, that is, to hold half of the rivers and mountains north of the Tianjiang River would be considered a victory. Even the north of the Tianjiang River does not belong to their territory. If you get it, you get it for nothing.

The minister felt that if they could or not, there was still a possibility that they would come to negotiate with us, that is, let the two sides rule across the river, and the well water would not interfere with the river water, or they could form a relationship with us and get along well. ”

Liu Yong sneered when he heard this, and said, "Don't go to the sweet dream of the Tartar slaves, and rule across the river?" This is simply not possible. North of the Tianjiang River is the hinterland of my Middle-earth. It is the home of our Han people. How could I give up? Joke. ”

Chen An said: "The minister is just guessing. ”

Liu Yong said: "Your guess is also very reasonable, since the Tatar slaves want to make peace, it must be this strategy." It's just that they know that we Han people are resentful of them, so they are still unsure about this step. It seems that they are holding on to the ground at the moment, in order to keep half of the country north of the Tianjiang River. ”

At this time, Wu Qing said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter what the Tatar slave change is a policy, our policy cannot be changed. ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "That's natural, since the Tatar slaves decided to defend it, let them defend it." In this way, we can delay the attack on the Tarnus a little. Let's build the steel armor first. ”

Wu Qing arched his hand and said, "It's Your Majesty, the minister understands." ”

"Wu Qing." Liu Yong said again.

"The minister is here." Wu Qing arched his hand and said.

"The training of the army does not stop for a moment, you know? If I'm happy, maybe I'll order an attack on the Tarslaves tomorrow! Liu Yong admonished.

Wu Qing arched his hand and said, "The minister understands. ”

Liu Yong nodded and asked again, "How is the situation of industrial development?" ”

Gao Yan, Minister of Industry, stood up and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the minister expects that in the second half of this year, the country's industrial level will surpass that of the previous dynasty. ”

Liu Yong nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and said: "Industry is to develop, but commerce and trade must also develop. When high-quality steel is produced, it will go to the West to sell it. They are now in a melee, they need weapons, and steel will be in great demand. This will give us a lot of gold to replenish the treasury. ”

Gao Yan, Minister of Industry, arched his hand and said: "The subjects are white. ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Okay, you step aside, you must arrest these." ”

Gao Yan arched his hand and retreated.

"Is there anything else to report?" Liu Yong asked.

At this time, Yang Fan, the head of the household department, stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister will tell Your Majesty good news." ”

Liu Yong smiled when he saw Yang Fan, the good news he said must have something to do with the finances of the imperial court. He smiled and said, "Okay, you can say it, I listen." ”

I only heard Yang Fan say: "Your Majesty, as of last night, the finances of the imperial court have begun to have a surplus. ”

This is indeed good news, because the finances of the imperial court have always been on the cutting edge before, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the dilemma of making ends meet. Fortunately, the household department headed by Yang Fan did its best to ensure that the imperial court's finances did not run in deficit. The previous surplus showed that the imperial court's finances were on a healthy track.

"Old Minister, this is indeed good news. This is all the credit of your household department, and it is also the credit of your Yang Fan. I want to reward you. Liu Yong said happily.

Yang Fan arched his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but now our household department does not have the capital to accept Your Majesty's reward, and when the surplus money of the household department can be piled up, it is not too late for Your Majesty to reward it!" ”

Liu Yong laughed out loud when he heard this, and said, "It seems that your household department has a goal!" Good! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister has set a goal for them, and it must be achieved by the end of the year, and when the time comes, the huge army can be allocated with the finances of the imperial court." 1. Yang Fan said proudly.

"Okay, then I'll wait until you complete the goal before rewarding you!" Liu Yong said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Fan arched his hand and said.

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Okay, you can step down!" ”

Yang Fan retreated to his position.

"Is there anything else?" Liu Yong asked.

The ministers didn't speak, that is, it was fine, and Liu Yong said: "Retreat from the dynasty." ”

The ministers bid farewell to the emperor together.

Liu Yong asked Chen An and several other ministers to stay, and at noon feasted on the king.

At the noon banquet, Liu Yong invited the queen, which was regarded as the best courtesy to the king. This kind of hospitality makes the king uncontrollable.

At the banquet, he frequently toasted Liu Yong, and Liu Yong also drank with him.

Of course, Liu Yong is also very happy, because he won a country without sending a single soldier, it is like pie in the sky! I want to talk about "Song Gui of the Financial Empire" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
