Chapter Ninety-Seven: Consolidating Political Affairs
Hearing this, Mo Cheng's face in the audience gradually became a little ugly, I don't know if he really considered the size and size of the body that Liu Chan said, or was taken aback by Liu Chan's sudden change in words, and the whole person changed back to his previous submissive appearance again.
Glancing at Mo Cheng, Liu Chan was also a little helpless: "I don't blame you!" Your idea is good, after all, we and others are all looking forward to it, eager to be able to conquer Cao Wei in the north, recover the Central Plains, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty! Jingzhou has been lost, and it seems a little unwise for our army to march into the Central Plains by water, but out of Shuzhong, through Chang'an and Luoyang, we have to face many passes along the way, and these many passes have become a major factor restricting the Shu army from rushing north. ”
Liu Chan knew that Wei general Hao Zhao was in Chen Cang who stubbornly blocked Kong Ming's tens of thousands of Northern Expedition troops by virtue of his pass advantage, so that he had no choice but to return to Shuzhong the same way!
"Such a huge machine, not to mention the difficulties in transportation during the Northern Expedition, imagine such a bulky thing, just rely on manpower to promote, how fast can it travel? If you are attacked by the enemy and surrounded, what will happen to everyone in the car? Liu Chan said lightly.
"Although your design can be tried, I will not choose to try it, because I can't afford to try, I will never try these war weapons easily, I will not joke with the lives of soldiers, either do my best, be able to convince me, and be able to guarantee the lives of soldiers, otherwise, I would rather give up! But this time, I can give you another chance, give you time, and give me a good study on the siege weapon, I want a near-perfect design! ”
Mo Cheng knelt on the ground respectfully, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "The villain is negligent, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" ”
As Liu Chan said, Mo Cheng has never been on the battlefield after all, and he can't understand the situation on the battlefield in detail, and the development of new siege equipment is indeed a good thing, but the premise is that there are not too many drawbacks, because your opponents will often seize this drawback to give you a fatal blow, and it is inconvenient to move slowly, which is already a major defect, enough to kill everyone!
The entire Yizhou and the entire Shu can no longer afford to lose.
"Although I have belittled your design this time, it does not mean that I have belittled you, it is precisely that I have higher expectations for you, and I hope that you will be the one who gives the army the teeth of victory and can help me enter the Central Plains!" Liu Chan said solemnly.
Mo Cheng, who was originally trembling and a little scared, suddenly had his spirit again when he heard Liu Chan's words, just like a student who was praised by the teacher, full of energy, eager to express himself.
"You are the first place in the Tiangong Pavilion, and you have presented such a wonderful thing as a new brocade loom, which is a great achievement, and I should be rewarded to you, and Yang Yi was originally a soldier Cao Peng of the Great Sima Mansion, and he was transferred repeatedly, and now he is already a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion to join the army, and the post of soldier Cao Peng has been shelved, I don't know if Qing is willing to take charge of this post and do his best for the Han Dynasty and the people?"
Bing Cao Peng, 300 stones, although the position is not high, but it is the soldier equipment of the main country and a government, a bit like the director of the arsenal, and the authority is also very large, for those who have just entered the office, it is tantamount to the ideal official position, and can make their own talents, their own design for the benefit of the people, is the original intention of Mo Cheng to take the exam.
At this moment, facing the above Liu Chan, coupled with the fact that this is so obvious that it can no longer be obvious, Mo Cheng's blood suddenly surged, his face instantly turned red, and looking at the eyes, he was obviously in shock and ecstasy.
After continuing like this for a while, Fang saw that he took a deep breath, got up and stepped forward, solemnly made a big salute again, and said loudly: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's high expectations, nor will he live up to the Han and the people!" ”
Liu Chan smiled slightly, and then got up as well, came to the front of Mo Cheng, personally helped him up, and laughed: "To be able to get Mr. to help, this great man's luck, the people's blessing!" ”
After that, he turned to the others, and his eyes stayed on Fei Yi and Wang Ping for a few more moments, and said: "Not only the Tiangong Pavilion, but the other two pavilions are also the same, but I will never treat talented people badly, and I give you such power, I hope that you can find talents for me, especially those who can benefit the world!" ”
"The ministers will do their best to recruit capable people to serve Your Majesty!" All of them saluted at the same time.
Seeing this, Liu Chan bowed slightly: "Three days later, the selection and assessment of Tongwen Hall and Jingwutang, I will go to the micro-service in person, and I hope that you can cheer up your spirit, don't be cheating and slippery!" ”
Hearing this, several people couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, Your Majesty's attention to Juxian Pavilion is too high, although it is the first assessment, it is very commemorative, but it can affect Your Majesty in person, this is nothing more than a little shocking, after all, as Your Majesty said before, Juxian Pavilion is not an official department of the imperial court, and it can make Your Majesty go in person, which is nothing more than the importance of Your Majesty himself.
Turning his head to look at Dong Yun again, Liu Chan asked, "Xiu Zhao, although a month is not a long time, it is difficult to see obvious changes in a country's economy, but I still want to hear from you!" ”
Dong Yun is one of the four ministers, and he is very good at managing internal affairs, and as his main economic new policy, Liu Chan is even more concerned, after all, the economy is a major factor that determines the war.
As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: "Where the art of war is used, thousands of cars are used, leather cars are thousands of times, 100,000 armor is carried out, and food is fed for thousands of miles." Then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of the car armor, the daily cost of thousands of gold, and then 100,000 teachers. ”
If you want to mobilize the peasant masses like a great leader in your previous life, you can organize your strength to resist the enemy without spending too much money, but that's sorry, it's too unrealistic! After all, this is ancient times, and what the common people are most afraid of is war, at that time it was to resist the invaders, to resist the dictatorship, and now?
Who are the aggressors? Wei? Wu? It is also the land of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, the people of the Han Dynasty, and the invaders. As for dictatorship. As an emperor, Liu Chan is an authoritarian, so no matter what, it is purely a dream to have people without spending money.
It's just that the Han thieves are not separated, and the ambition of the king is not partial, and the banner of reviving the Han family will definitely not fall easily, so it is absolutely impossible to be in a corner of the country, and it is necessary to continue to launch military operations against Wei.
Competing with the entire Cao Wei with one state, the military expenditure during the period was huge, and Liu Chan had to find a way to solve it.
Dong Yundao: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have discussed with the ministers to establish four government-run enterprises in CD and Yong'an, including two brocade factories, a winery, and a fishery farm!" At present, they have all been put into profit, and the monthly income is expected to reach at least 30 million! In addition, the imperial court also took back the business ownership of iron, salt and some minerals, and firmly grasped these issues that determined people's livelihood in the hands of the imperial court. ”
And it is intended to set up the general of the iron and the salt and the general of the mine, to be in charge of the three industries, and it is strictly forbidden to seek personal interests in the illegal night!
