Chapter 468: Greetings Before the New Year (Part 2)
"King Yu, I just received the news, the war between the two places has gradually come to an end, my Dayan and Cao Jun have suffered a lot of losses, Cao Cao is obviously looking for someone to bury Cao Hong, in addition to showing his love for the general, and the intention of protecting the country, but also to test the situation of my Dayan a little" Li Ru replied.
"Uncle Lone, he is too small, only more than 60,000 people, Lone really hopes that he will start a full-scale war in one go, so how much time can be reduced for Dayan" Yuan Xi sneered, if Cao Cao shrank in the city, step by step, he would be really difficult to fight, and if he came out of the country, it would be much simpler, the battle of Chibi and the battle of Yiling in the previous life were all out of the country, and a battle would be enough to determine the situation.
"Haha, it is estimated that Cao Cao is willing, and those strategists under him will not agree, at this time they still occupy an absolute disadvantage, but they just see that my Dayan cannot go south at the moment" Li Ru said with a smile.
"What Zuo Xiang said is extremely true, and Xiliang is also urging him," Tian Feng said disdainfully.
Yuan Xi nodded and said: "This war should end soon, and the military commander has also received a secret report, Cao Cao will not come in the New Year, and continue to consume so meaninglessly, there is not much wind and waves over there, and this loss can be borne by Lonely, let's talk about others!" Gu carefully looked at Shang Shutai's plan for the formation of Gongcheng and the medical school, it is quite good, Kong Ming, you have worked hard."
Today's Shangshutai has reached the point where Han Yan, Tian Feng is happy to delegate power, and Zhuge Liang gradually takes over, Han Yan has taken the initiative to ask for leave a few days ago and go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, this is a hint to Yuan Xi, he wants to rest, but Yuan Xi finally refuted it directly, it is still the same sentence, before Han Yan is sixty years old, he will not consider this matter, this is not a distrust of Zhuge Liang, but it cannot chill the heart of the old minister, in addition, Han Yan is here, and the decree can be more usual.
"The king has won the award, if it weren't for the joint efforts of the two Xiangguo, Shang Shuling, and Xu Shangshu, the minister alone would never be able to do it" Hearing this, Zhuge Liang immediately said modestly.
Today's Zhuge Liang is much more modest and cautious than in his previous life, because Liu Bei is assisted single-handedly, he has this prestige and ability, but here in Yuan Xi, he can't even be regarded as a minister of the hidden mansion, and many old ministers in Youzhou will not be afraid of him at all.
"Haha" Yuan Xi smiled and said, "You guys came to find Gu today, what else is there?" ”
"Your Majesty, the Privy Council has just received news that it has taken more than a month to mobilize 20,000 people and 300 shipwrights, and the shipyards of Sihan have all been built, and Jia Dudu has replied that after next year, the construction of 30 seagoing ships can be completed in one or two months, as well as to test the water," Li Ru replied.
"Thirty ships" Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and said: "Didn't Xingba say about more than twenty ships?" ”
"Your Majesty, mainly because Dean Ma Jun transferred a lot of skilled craftsmen, each of whom has unique skills, greatly reducing the production time, and enhancing the power of the warship, so in the spring of next year, my Dayan's navy can have nearly a hundred warships, and Sinan's research has also entered the most critical moment," Xu Shu explained with a smile.
"Okay, Ma Jun really lived up to his expectations, passed the order, and rewarded him heavily," Yuan Xi said happily.
"No!"
"In addition, the Xiongnu, the Eight Banners of Xianbei have all been formed, and with the addition of the Eight Banners of Wuhuan, a total of twenty-four banner owners will come to congratulate the king in time for the New Year's ceremony," Li Ru continued.
"Well, Lone welcomes their arrival and tells the state capitals along the road that they must not be slack, the Eight Banners are a national policy, and Lone is of great use to them, and the representatives of Goguryeo and Sihan are also invited over" Yuan Xi said solemnly.
"No!"
"Dawang, the three cities of Naturalization, Suiyuan, and Ulan on the grassland have already built the infrastructure, and it is expected to be completed in three years," Xu Shu reported again.
"Haha, it's all good news today" Hearing this, Yuan Xi said with satisfaction.
After seeing the Privy Council's announcement, Tian Fengzhan came out and said loudly: "King, this year my Dayan has implemented a series of plans to enrich the country and strengthen the people, and the harvest is huge, in just one year, the registered population of my Dayan has increased by 1.27 million, of which in addition to the homeless, the number of children born is the largest, and the number is still increasing rapidly, fully implementing the king's population reward system, in 20 years, the population of my Dayan will have explosive growth, and there will be no pressure even if the army of millions is not there."
"Okay, great, no matter when, people come first, the more the better, in addition, in the future, the medical school will focus on the study of childbirth, and the rate of premature death will be greatly reduced" Yuan Xi said happily, this is not the afterlife, he has a large land to conquer, but the conquest must have someone, if he is given a billion people, he can occupy the whole world.
"No!" Tian Feng and Zhuge Liang immediately responded solemnly.
"Continue," Yuan Xi said expectantly.
"King Yu, in addition to the population, in the territory of Dayan today, 1.32 million hectares of land have been cultivated, all kinds of taxes are as high as 9.85 million yuan, and ordinary people have surplus money every month, and after the spring next year, it is estimated that there will be 1.57 million quintals of grain and grass, enough for 300,000 troops in April, and all kinds of equipment and money are also being prepared in a hurry," Zhuge Liang reported.
"Okay, when the Wa Kingdom is pacified, Gu will go south in a big way and recover the Central Plains in one fell swoop" Yuan Xi said with a wave of his hand.
"The king will win" the four of them saluted at the same time.
After Yuan Xi nodded happily, suddenly the whole person reacted, looked at the four people in front of him and said with a smile: "You seem to have come to Lone to give good news today, and everything makes Lone's heart feel very comfortable."
Hearing this, Tian Feng suddenly laughed, hugged his fists and said: "King, the New Year is coming soon, and the ministers will take these two things as a congratulatory gift before the New Year, and wish me the prosperity and prosperity of the Great Yan Country, and the king is Chitose Chitose Chitose."
"King Chitose Chitose Chitose" Li Ru, Zhuge Liang, and Xu Shu also gave salutes.
"Hahaha, okay, okay" Seeing this scene, Yuan Xi laughed loudly and said: "This is really the best New Year's gift, Dayan is stable, and the people are happy, this is what Lone wants to see the most"
"King Shengming," the four shouted again.
"This New Year's gathering, the scale should be a little bigger, I don't care about this money, all the generals, except for those who must stay behind, must be called back," Yuan Xi instructed.
"No!!"
"In addition, the old rule is that there must be three tables"
"The Ministers Understand"
"Oh! By the way, Kong Ming, this time the New Year's celebration is in charge of the ranking, right?" Yuan Xi suddenly asked.
"Really, does the king have any orders?" Zhuge Liang said immediately.
"Remember to add two more positions, they should be placed under the throne, but they should be above Brother Ping and Brother Mai," Yuan Xi waved his hand with some sigh and commanded.
"Above the general" Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and reacted instantly, the king had to invite those two to come out to celebrate together.
"King" Tian Feng was a little worried, he naturally knew who could be ranked above Yuan Ping, the hussar general.
"It's okay," Yuan Xi smiled slightly.
"The king is wise, today's Dayan is no longer what it used to be, it is by no means that they can shake a bit, even if it was the idiot general of the year, now he is also loyal to the king, the king does this, one can show benevolence, two also maintains filial piety, and three can make those veterans surrender from the heart" Li Ru admired.
"Tell their family to prepare!" Yuan Xi said softly.
"No!"
