Listening to the general's words, Liu Yong nodded, he knew that the Tatars would not take the initiative to attack. At least for now. But Liu Yong was not complacent about this, because this showed a problem, that is, the Tatar slaves did not have the conditions to use troops against him now, and more than a dozen were immature.

However, the opponent's unconditional is his best chance. But it's not a complete chance. Because the opponent will defend it tightly. Because the Tartars were now afraid that they would take the initiative to attack them. Then they would be more defensively defended than usual.

In this way, it is not an opportunity. In the two extremes of chance and non-opportunity, Liu Yong is a little undecided. In fact, deep down in his heart, Taoguang Yanghui seems to be more in line with the current strategy. After all, he is not a strong country.

For his victory, he quickly seized the territory south of Tianjiang and Qinshan, because the Tatar slaves did not do a good job of defense, he was just taken by surprise, and with the suspicious tactics, it can be said that he played a quick punch.

But in the future, such a fast punch may not work.

But Taoguang cultivates obscurity and develops himself, and he can't take off the time too long, you must know that if you develop, your opponent will also develop. And the opponent is still a warlike race.

Don't take it lightly. The only thing to do now is to speed up development, and when the national strength recovers to the state of the later stage of Dahua, it can march like the north.

However, the strategy must be long-term, but it must also be able to be flexible and able to respond effectively to unexpected situations. It's a must.

After reading the situation on the riverside, Liu Yong asked the general again: "Does the riverbank of this long production have such defenses?" ”

The general arched his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty, there are some steep areas that do not need to be armed. ”

"Oh? In that case, won't the Tatar army get through? Liu Yong asked with some curiosity.

The general said: "Back to Your Majesty, don't say those places are Tartar slaves, even if we want to cross the river, we can't cross the river." ”

"Why?" Liu Yong asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are thousands of high mountains on both sides of those places, and the river is turbulent, so there is no way for boats to cross the river. In addition, the river is still too wide, with a distance of several hundred zhang, which can be described as an insurmountable moat. Liu Yong explained.

After listening to the general's words, Liu Yong nodded, thinking to himself: "Yes, such a place, even people in the future will not be able to pass, unless it is by helicopter." ”

Then he said, "Oh, I see. But there is a sentry. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The general said.

"That's good." Liu Yong nodded again.

Then, the group returned to the big account of the Chinese army.

Liu Yong said: "Go to Jinshimen and gather together, I want to speak." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The general arched his hand and turned away.

The emperor was accompanied by high-ranking officials and governors in the tent.

I heard the sound of drums outside the tent, and then the footsteps like a flood of water. There is a lot of overwhelming atmosphere. Those who listened were stirred.

After a while, the general entered the big tent again and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the soldiers have finished lining up, waiting for Your Majesty's lecture!" ”

Liu Yong nodded, got up, stood up, and walked out. Su Erniang and the two little ones followed. It also allows the children to see the might of the army.

Liu Yong went up to the point general platform. On one side are the generals and high-ranking officials, and on the other are Su Erniang and Pan'er Xiaoyanhan.

I saw that about 2,000 soldiers below immediately knelt down, and their movements were neat as if they were one person. Then he shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, long live long live long live." ”

Liu Yong waved his hand, and the soldiers below stood up again. Then Liu Yong began to lecture. The meaning of his words is probably to train strictly, not to forget the humiliation and oppression of the Tartars, to always be ready to serve the country, and so on. Words of encouragement.

Listening to the soldiers below was enthusiastic.

After the lecture, Liu Yong got off the stage and went directly to ride a horse to return to the city. Liu Yong was not in a hurry, he walked very slowly along the way, and he also talked with senior officials while walking. Ask what is the biggest difficulty that the place is experiencing right now.

"O high official." He shouted.

"Wechen is here." The high-ranking official hurriedly stepped forward, but he could not be parallel to the emperor, and he fell a little distance from a horse's head.

Liu Yong asked, "What do you think is the most troublesome thing for you now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the most troublesome thing for the minister is undoubtedly the provincial financial revenue."

"Oh?" Liu Yong asked.

"Your Majesty, the current provincial government has almost no income. Turning over to the treasury is the most difficult thing for Wechen. The senior official said.

Liu Yong said: "However, you must complete the task of the treasury. ”

"It's Your Majesty, Wechen will definitely finish it." What can he say? I can only say yes.

But Liu Yong knows it in his heart, which is why he feels that it is not the time to go to war. In the event of a protracted war with the Tatars, and the treasury could not support it, it would be a drop in the bucket to rely on one's own gold mines in South Africa. What's more, the current gold mine production is not as good as it is every year. He didn't have time to continue developing. handed over to the eldest son Yanping and a little uneasy. After all, going deep into the depths of the African continent can be dangerous. And then more workers will have to go.

Now, in his eyes, building a rich and powerful country is more meaningful than mining gold.

And now the whole country is actually running on that little bit of gold. Otherwise, he would not be able to gain a foothold. It is not possible to grant amnesty to the world after ascending the throne and issue policies that benefit the people. He just wanted to get the country's economy up and running as soon as possible. After all, the foundation of the former Dahua is still there.

The reason why he is still ruthless in front of high-ranking officials is because, as an official, he can only rise to the difficulties, and cannot retreat in the face of difficulties, otherwise he will not be qualified to be a feudal official.

He asked the high-ranking official again: "Then how long do you think it will take for your province to recover its fiscal revenue?" ”

The senior official replied: "Wechen thinks that it will take at least a year. In fact, in his heart, the time of a year seems to be short, but he can't say that this time is too long, so as not to make the emperor angry. He always thought that if he could collect agricultural taxes, it would definitely be realized in that year.

Liu Yong actually knew that this year's time was just the kind words of this high-ranking official, and he knew in his heart that it would take at least two years for a situation like this.

Needless to ask, Liu Yong also knows that the financial revenue of the entire province now depends on small merchants and hawkers. The small traders and hawkers that Liu Yong refers to are not street stalls, and there is no tax on those who set up street stalls according to his regulations. He was referring to those who opened shops and did business. If trade is carried out everywhere, then the tax revenue will still increase.

However, it is the top priority to encourage democratic capital to enter the manufacturing industry.
