After understanding the people's feelings, Ouyang Lanlan was about to go back, but Maria and Ma Miaozhen hadn't had enough shopping, so Ouyang Lanlan had no choice but to accompany her.

The three of them didn't go back until they had finished shopping the two streets. According to the locals, it turns out that there are nearly ten such prosperous streets in this Tongzhou City. But since the arrival of the Tarnu, the merchants in these streets have closed their doors, and they have gone when it is time to go. Only an empty and lonely street remains.

People sighed and shook their heads as they spoke. You must know that during the previous Dahua Dynasty, this Tongzhou city was quite prosperous and was an important town in the southwest.

But right now, the prosperity of being tossed by the Tatars is not there. It's embarrassing to say.

Back at the station, that is, the government office, Ouyang Lanlan met Liu Yong and told him about his inquiry. Liu Yong immediately smiled, took Ouyang Lanlan's hand and said, "Concubine Ai, you have worked hard. ”

Ouyang Lanlan said: "The concubine has seen His Majesty's worries about state affairs all day long these days, so she wants to share her worries for Your Majesty." ”

Liu Yong let go of Ouyang Lanlan's hand, then nodded, paced a few steps in the hall with his hands behind his back, and said with a solemn expression: "It seems that what this governor said is not bad." But as Aifei said, hope is good. When people have hope, they are motivated. It's just that the situation with the northern Tatars is not yet clear. ”

Ouyang Lanlan said: "Your Majesty, there is something that the concubine does not know whether to say or not. ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "I love the concubine, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Ouyang Lanlan said: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the sooner the war against the Tarslaves, the better. ”

This sentence made Liu Yong slightly startled, and he asked, "Oh? Ai Fei said specifically. He didn't expect Ouyang Lanlan to have such an insight. In fact, Liu Yong has been thinking about this problem recently, and after the Tartar slaves recuperate, they will undoubtedly return to the mountain. Second, the Tatar slave attribute is barbaric and irritable, and it is very likely that they will take the initiative to alleviate domestic contradictions.

This Liu Yong is not afraid, what he is afraid of is that he will be obscure, but he also gave the Tatar slaves a chance to develop. That's what he's been thinking about for the past few days.

Of course, he can go back to Tian'an Mansion for court discussions. But he must have it in his own mind, and it is better to be able to decide for himself. In the end, it is up to him to make a decision.

For major decisions, the emperor is responsible. But this is my world, and I count it in my words. But for the sake of your own future, you must make the best and most correct decisions.

Liu Yong stayed in Tongzhou for two days before setting off, although it was an investigation, but the return was also urgent.

In the carriage, Liu Yong was still thinking about what Ouyang Lanlan said to him.

Ouyang Lanlan said: "The concubine thinks that she can't give the Tartar slave too much time. Although time is precious to us Huahan, the concubines feel that time is even more precious to the Tarslaves. According to the nature of the Tatars, if we take their country, they will not be indifferent, and normally they will come at once. ”

"Then why don't they fight? There is only one reason, and that is that they can't afford to fight. But they can't stop there, they just need time. This is a little immature idea of the concubine, and please don't take it seriously. ”

The reason why Ouyang Lanlan said this in the end was because she knew that the harem could not interfere in politics.

However, Liu Yong didn't complain about her at all, but looked at her differently. In fact, Liu Yong was not surprised by Ouyang Lanlan's insight. At the family banquet in the Zhizhou Mansion in Meizhou City, Liu Yong saw that Ouyang Lanlan's political views were not bad.

At this moment, he thought about Ouyang Lanlan's words, and he had already made a decision in his heart. But this decision has to go back to the collapse and discuss it with the courtiers. South African gold would still guarantee an all-out war against the Tatars.

The country is in ruins, but the external environment is sinister and abnormal. Whether to fight or make peace, or to prolong the breath is actually the most difficult decision for a politician. Although Liu Yong's condition is not so serious, he still has the guarantee of gold. But he still didn't dare to take the risk.

Once the war is in full swing, there are too many uncertainties.

If you want to fight, you can fight a battle that you can grasp.

Liu Yong knew in his heart that the Tatar slaves were also making preparations, and the main army of their westward expedition was an army that could fight well and was experienced. Despite the fact that they have advanced firearms. But still not to underestimate the enemy.

Originally, the north was the base of the Tarnus, and the south was where their power was weak. The places north of the Tianjiang River that I can successfully do are just a fluke.

Once the war starts again, there is no fluke.

The Tarslavs were able to fight well, and a protracted war was inevitable.

But Liu Yong is not afraid of a protracted war, he knows that with the capital of the Tatars, he is not capable of fighting a protracted war. But when a war starts, it is not up to the two sides to decide what kind of trend they will take.

In fact, no one wants to fight a protracted war, this is a hard marathon, and it is the most laborious and costly. Most of the people north of the Tianjiang River are still Han Chinese, and they will suffer when the time comes.

Walking again, Liu Yong ordered no longer to go south, but directly to the east, all the way to investigate.

On this day, I came to Quzhou Mansion in the middle. The situation is even better here, and some handicrafts are already being carried out. Moreover, the government also had a surplus in its finances.

Liu Yong is more satisfied, at least there is something not miserable.

In fact, he didn't know that the place where he was hit hard by the Tatars was the east and the west. And the central part is better. However, the central part of the country was originally a weak place for the handicraft industry, and now it stands out from the crowd.

But no matter what, I finally have a place to look decent.

Along the way, Liu Yong's mood has also improved. In fact, his mood is mainly caused by the country's economic worries.

Get up on the wrong side of the bed? Actually, no, for Liu Yong, he knows the difficulties. He had been prepared for a long time. It was the common people who disturbed his mood. He wants to see the common people live a good life. for these are his people.

When he was in a good mood, he went to the city in person to change around, and followed Ouyang Lanlan's appearance to talk to someone, and when he heard that he was all praised, his heart was naturally beautiful.

It seems that his status in the hearts of the people is still very high. It's not very high, and it should be sublime. The people have worshipped her as a god.

However, since listening to what Ouyang Lanlan said about Xiu Xian, his heart was already ready to move. Being an immortal can lead to immortality. It's tempting. It's best to let your wives cultivate together and ascend to immortality together, wouldn't it be wonderful?

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, but that would have to wait until the Tarslaves had been defeated, and he couldn't think about it yet.

Now only the state and the war against the Tatars can be considered.
