Ye Hua received a letter, which was written to him by Chen Shi, although that guy was five big and three thick, his handwriting was still quite delicate, and his rough and clumsy appearance was completely different, it seemed that Chen Shi's teaching was quite attentive.

Chen Shi told Ye Hua that Yang Jiye's family of three returned to Linzhou, and after overnight discussions, the Yang family had made a decision, they wanted to be vassals to the Great Zhou, but if they did this, Liu Chong would inevitably fight back, and the Yang family was weak and had to be fully supported by the imperial court.

Getting this news, Ye Hua was overjoyed.

The Yang family and Liu Chong broke up, and his plan to save the Yang family was at least a good start, but what to do next, Ye Hua had a headache again.

After all, the Yang family and Da Zhou are not directly bordered, and there is no way to send troops to directly reinforce them, so what can be done so that there will be no mistakes?

After some thought, Ye Hua first wrote a long letter to Guo Wei, which was sent to the capital quickly.

After receiving Ye Hua's recital, Guo Wei was even happier after watching it, even more excited than Ye Hua!

"Good, great! Hurry up and invite a few ministers to come over and discuss the matter. ”

Li Gu, Fan Zhen, Wang Pu, including Wei Renpu, who had just successfully proposed his marriage and returned to Beijing, also came.

Hearing that the Yang family was attached to the Great Zhou, Wei Renpu first slapped and laughed, dancing with his hands, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, there is hope for pacifying Hedong!" ”

Guo Wei smiled and said, "What is Mr. Wei's opinion?" ”

"Your Majesty, Linzhou is behind Liu Chong's side, and they abandon the darkness and turn to the light, which is equivalent to inserting a knife in Liu Chong's back, making him difficult to care about and losing ground. The old minister thought that he should strengthen the offensive in Jinzhou, contain Liu Chong's army from the front, and give the Yang family a chance to develop and grow. As long as the Yang family can hold on, the Fuzhou family will inevitably join, and at that time, the two families will work together to attack the north and south with the imperial court, Liu Chong is definitely a dead end, and there is no reason to be lucky! ”

Guo Wei smiled, he and Wei Renpu coincided.

"Hedong is a big trouble for the henchmen, if it can be flattened with drums, my Great Zhou will definitely be powerful and intimidate the world." Guo Wei turned his head and asked Fan Qian, "Fan Xianggong, the army has not moved the grain and grass first, can the treasury get the money, grain and military salary now?" ”

Fan Zhen's face was ruddy, and he said loudly: "The minister received a letter from Ye Changshi, he proposed to sell the wasteland in the northwest at a low price, and only need to pay 10 yuan, or 20 stone of grain, you can go to Luoyang, Chang'an and other places to reclaim wasteland, cultivate for 5 years, and the land will be owned by the cultivators." ”

Fan Zhen suggested to Guo Wei: "At present, there are many merchants from Hedong who have fled to the Great Zhou, and there are also many people in the south who have fled in the past and returned to their homes...... By selling the land, at least 300,000 yuan of military salaries can be raised, which is enough to support the autumn grain when it matures, and when the field harvest comes up, the situation will be much better! ”

At the beginning of the year, Guo Wei exempted cattle rent and abolished the camp, and the initial results have been achieved, the people are enthusiastic about farming, and the area of cultivated fields in various places has increased a lot, and this year's bumper harvest can be expected.

With food, there is confidence!

"Good! Then this time there will be a big battle! ”

Guo Wei shook his fist fiercely and made up his mind.

First of all, he gave Wang Jun an order, asking him to launch an offensive, and he must be dragged back by Liu Chong's men and horses, and he must not be given a chance to return to help. How much money is needed, the imperial court will make every effort to raise it.

Then Guo Wei gave Ye Hua another decree, he asked Ye Hua to send someone to contact Yang Xin, officially crowned Yang Xin as the squire of the military department, leading the history of Linzhou Thorn, his two sons, Yang Jiye and Yang Chongxun, were named the Marquis of Ma Bujun, Guo Wei took out 100,000 yuan from the inside, as a military salary, and gave it to the Yang family as encouragement.

It's a bit miserable, of the 100,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan is Guo Xingge's property, Ye Hua helped him take care of it, made a lot of money, and had to be sent to the palace regularly, Guo Wei unceremoniously took away his son's money.

The other 50,000 yuan was obtained by Guo Wei from privately selling the jewels, gold and silver in the palace.

Didn't I mention earlier that in order to encourage frugality, Guo Wei smashed a lot of jewelry utensils.

That's right, things were smashed, but gold was still gold, silver was still silver, Guo Wei privately asked the craftsman to re-smelt and turn it into ingots, and then removed all kinds of gems, took them outside the palace, and sold them in gold and silver shops for money.

Speaking of which, he deserves to be the emperor really shabby.

But anyway, the support of the imperial court came!

Ye Hua's waist stiffened all of a sudden!

Originally, he only wanted to help the Yang family, so as not to take a detour. Now it seems that there is an opportunity to extinguish the Northern Han as soon as possible, you must know that in the original history, it was still quite contemptible Zhao Er's Northern Han Dynasty! It's been more than twenty years later.

In the twenty or thirty years of the existence of the Northern Han Dynasty, they continued to collude with the Khitan, causing great trouble to the Central Plains, and at the same time, the people of Hedong also suffered from misery and exploitation, and suffered heavy losses.

At the beginning, there were more than 200,000 households in the Northern Han Dynasty, and when the country was destroyed, only 30,000 households remained, less than 1/8 of the original, not counting the population born during the period. How hateful!

The good sons and daughters did not use it to resist the Khitan, but instead fought each other with internal friction in the Central Plains, which is really heartbreaking.

When Guo Wei revealed to Ye Hua that he hoped to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, Ye Hua was one of the shocks, worthy of being Guo's boss, and his courage was big enough!

Ye Hua is full of a sense of responsibility, but also full of fighting spirit, he wants to give the Yang family greater support!

At present, Linzhou is still alone, unable to border with Dazhou, the situation is not optimistic, so it is particularly urgent to win over the party members and open up the traffic road, and it must succeed immediately!

He invited Fu Yanqing, Wang Jing, and other military leaders over.

"A few days ago, I mentioned to you that when I contacted the party members, did you get any results?"

The gang looked at each other, and none of them wanted to speak.

Ye Hua looked around and saw Xiang Gong, who had just succeeded Wang Jing and succeeded him as the prefect of Shaanzhou, he was Wang Jing's old subordinate and one of the generals who was bought by Ye Hua.

"General Xiang, you have been in the northwest for a long time and are familiar with the situation, so you don't have a few party friends, so you can't contact Qingyan's business?"

Xiang Gong's face was full of guilt, and he swallowed for a long time before he said: "Ye Changshi, it's not that I'm not dedicated, but why is the party unwilling to do business with us?" ”

"Don't want to?"

Ye Hua seemed to have heard the biggest joke, what is the party item? It's nothing more than cows, horses and green salt, they can't eat beef and dip it in green salt every day, right?

I want grain, tea, silk and cloth, pots and pans, iron and farm tools...... If you are the leader of the party and someone sends money to the door, how can there be any reason to refuse?

Ye Hua looked at these people, and he found that everyone was a little weird, and he didn't dare to look at him, especially Fu Yanqing and Wang Jing, the two old military leaders, one looked at the sky and the other looked at the ground, as if they had nothing to do with them! Ah, let's put garlic!

Syllable!

Ye Hua slapped the table suddenly, and suddenly stood up, he stepped on the table with one foot, making himself look more imposing!

Looking down at these people, he said sharply: "I know, the party members don't want to do business, and the reason why they don't want to do it with me is because someone helps them smuggle green salt, right?" ”

Fu Yanqing's brows trembled, Wang Jing's mouth opened slightly, he didn't expect the kid surnamed Ye to be so clever, they continued to pretend to be stupid!

Ye Hua sneered, "I understand, there are salt merchants operating in private, you guys, count them all, are you taking the benefits of salt merchants?" Feed you guys, so don't speak? ”

Xiang Gong hurriedly waved his hand, "Ye Changshi, you can't talk nonsense, what a sin this is, selling smuggled salt is a capital crime!" ”

"Hahaha! Capital crime? Didn't I cut off your heads? Ye Hualang said: "What is private salt, what is official salt, it's not all a sage's words." Let's put it this way, you immediately go and copy the salt merchants, cut off the smuggling channels of the party, and force the party to do business with us. I can make you get 10 times or 100 times the benefits you used to have! ”

Ye Hua said angrily: "You know Ye's ability to make money, do it or not, choose it yourself!" ”
