There are only 100,000 yuan of silver left in the national treasury, and the military salaries of the tiger and leopard battalions stationed in the north are in arrears for three months. The two foreign invasions have caused the people in the north to be displaced, homeless, and have no land to plant, and this 100,000 silver is not enough to stuff the teeth.

Medium-sized countries, once hegemonic in the north, are now reduced to poor and weak countries, and their national treasury is unable to make ends meet.

The dignified emperor, one person is above 10,000 people, and he is not even as good as a beggar, which is too ironic.

It is related to the predecessor and the old emperor, the two bastards, but obviously now is not the time to investigate, besides, Lin Feng can't say that this matter has nothing to do with him, unless he wants to expose his secrets.

After all, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, held back the anger in his heart, and waved his hand to order Han Fang and Zhao Shide to kneel.

When Han Fang turned around, he glared at Zhao Shide coldly, this bastard has always been against himself, and today to say the unwritten rules in Dayan officialdom is tantamount to putting himself in front of the emperor, and even putting all his colleagues into it.

Zhao Shide was very indifferent, snorted coldly, and tasted a little like watching a show: "It's not that you don't report it, the time has not yet come, the Korean side, the emperor has begun to check the accounts, and your good days are over." ”

When the two left, Lin Feng's face regained calm, and he said to Lin Xiao: "Second brother, do you see, there are some bastards in the court who do not seek political power in their positions, let their duties not fulfill their responsibilities, and consume the country's money and food. ”

Knowing that Lin Feng had changed and become more positive, Lin Xiao's immature face showed the maturity of an adult, and said: "Brother Huang, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Dayan has let the incompetent and incompetent people control the government since the emperor's grandfather, the national strength has declined, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has decreased sharply.

In the hands of the emperor, a large area of the country has fallen, corruption and corruption, resulting in the people's livelihood, and now the national strength is poor and weak, if you want to solve the national crisis, you need to recuperate and recuperate, and appease the people, which is not ten years! ”

"Ten years, ten years is too long. Now that Zhao has begun to send troops abroad, have you noticed that Zhao is rapidly destroying the country to the west.

I estimated that Zhao had solved the problem in the west, and there were no worries, so I turned around and either attacked the Song State bordering it, or attacked the small country in the east, and then the Yan State had to make a choice.

To the east of the Yan Kingdom, the Jin State is actively recruiting troops, and within two or three years, the training of recruits will be completed, and the butcher knife will definitely be raised to the Yan State.

Now, there is a crisis of the Rong tribe in the north of Yan Kingdom, it can be said that it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and if any party becomes strong, Yan Country will be used as a snack, so Yan Country has no extra time, and I have no time. ”

All along, Lin Feng has always been trying to make up for the history of this era, and the trends in all aspects, the more he understands it, the more he trembles in his heart, and the more he feels that time is pressing, now, he has long lost the excitement and joy he had when he first came, and his intuition seems to be dancing on the tip of a knife, and if he is not careful, he will be doomed.

Lin Xiao also knew Yan Guo's current situation, and he was also anxious in his heart, but there was no direct solution. Hearing Lin Feng say about the situation of Yan Kingdom, he realized that the emperor had really changed, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Huang, since you understand the situation of Yan Kingdom, is there a way to solve it?" ”

Lin Feng didn't answer directly, but turned his head and asked, "Second brother, do you have any good methods, let's hear about it." ”

Lin Xiao looked slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Lin Feng to ask him, pondered for a while, and said softly: "Brother I heard that Liang Guo and Zheng Guo in the south are changing the law, especially Liang Guo, in the past five years, the national strength has undergone great changes, and vaguely, it can compete with Zhao and Chu.

With the efforts of two generations, Zheng Guogen has become a powerful country in the Central Plains, and he is eyeing the outside world. If Yan Guo wants to be strong, he must change the law, but the Yan family controls the government, and the power changes all corners of the court, if you want to change the law, the resistance can be imagined. ”

Changing the law to be strong, Lin Feng nodded silently, and said with joy: "If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be able to make sense, Yan Kingdom has reached a critical moment, if it remains unchanged, it will inevitably destroy the country, so it must change."

The situation of the struggle for hegemony of the nations has begun, and in the future in this land, I will definitely not sit idly by in the period of war, let alone let people be involved, and if I dare to be obstructed, I will raise the butcher's knife to kill a bloody road. ”

When he said this, Lin Feng's expression was calm and terrifying, his eyes were bloody, and there seemed to be a river of blood in his eyes.

"The imperial brother is ambitious, swallowing mountains and rivers, and the younger brother swears allegiance to the death to help the imperial brother complete the great cause of the rejuvenation of Dayan."

"Okay, stop slapping, go out for a walk, talk as you go." Lin Feng believed that Lin Xiao was changing and becoming loyal, so he left the other party alone. The two walked out of the imperial study and strolled through the harem garden.

"Brother Huang, what do you think is most needed to revive Dayan and change the law to become stronger?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked.

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, and said for a moment: "Money and talents, civil ministers, military generals, strategists, etc., in the long run, we need laws and new systems." Soon, I will definitely draw up a detailed policy, step by step, and slowly transform.

At present, Lei Jieying was ordered to recruit 30,000 new soldiers, and after training, fill the dragoon guard. In addition, it is necessary to secretly find out the details of the ministers of the DPRK and China, who may be spies of the enemy country, and may enrich their own pockets and embezzle money and grain from the state treasury.

These two things, you send someone to do it, the sooner the better, and when you catch the handle, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Seeing that the imperial brother's mind began to shift to state affairs, Lin Xiao felt a lot more relieved, but asked again: "Imperial brother, the younger brother dares to ask, didn't you suddenly become interested, the policy system or something, all need coherence to be successful, if the order changes, the country will be more chaotic, and the people will become more and more miserable." ”

After all, the emperor used to toss and turn around, and I heard that he had recovered the land from the Jin State last time, and he was also ready to work hard, but two days later, he quietly slipped out of the palace and did those things that were not nutritious, immoral and lost his identity.

He was worried that the emperor's old tricks would be repeated and the current difficult environment would be wasted.

"Don't worry, this time it's true, my brother won't mess around with his head."

Lin Feng was embarrassed, how immoral his predecessor was, even his younger brother didn't trust him, cleared his throat, and said: "I am responsible for governing the country, you are in charge of the army, first pull up a team that can fight and fight fiercely."

At present, whether it is the Zhao State in the west, the Jin State in the east, or the Rong people in the north, and the Zheng State in the south, all of them have the army of tigers and wolves, and tens of thousands of people in the Yan Kingdom.

Therefore, even if you pull the tiger skin, pull the flag, and bluff, Yan Guo must maintain 100,000 brave men.

And the current source of soldiers in the Yan Kingdom is difficult to find, the main reason is that in the family, in this family, there are all hidden private soldiers, as few as hundreds, more than thousands, I heard that the Han family behind the financial secretary Han Fang secretly has tens of thousands of private soldiers, and the family wealth is comparable to the royal family, is there really such a thing? ”

"Yes, the Yan Guo Han clan is in Zheng Guo and belongs to the Zheng Guo Han clan, the imperial brother may not know that the Zheng Guo Han clan is one of the eight great families of the vassal states.

Powerful, extremely wealthy, and by supporting the Zheng royal family to change the law, he has obtained strong military support, in the Eight Great Families, he is not a leader, but he is not the last, therefore, the Han family of Yan Guo dares to fill his own pockets and does not put the Yan royal family in his eyes.

In fact, this is also related to the emperor's grandfather and father, when the Han family was weak in the Yan country, it was not cleared in time, which caused the Han family to secretly accumulate strength and become a major force in the DPRK and the Yan country. ”

Lin Feng knows a lot about the family, but the family of this era is far from the past, not only controlling the appointment of officials, but even the country's economy is controlled by the scholars, and ordinary families will also support private soldiers.

For example, Zheng Guo and the Han clan and others, relying on the army of a strong country, have deeper and more victorious forces.

If the Yan State Han clan is suddenly attacked, it will undoubtedly offend the Zheng Guo Han clan, and the Yan State will not only be threatened militarily, but also financially, due to the withdrawal of the Han clan, which will affect the normal business development.

However, Lin Feng knew very well in his heart that the Yan Guo Han clan was like a tumor, which would be painfully cut off, and it would greatly hurt the vitality, but after a period of recovery, the body would recover.

If the tumor is not cut off and allowed to grow, the host of Yan Kingdom will sooner or later be plagued by it and destroy the country. Therefore, even if the elimination of the Han clan causes labor pain, it must be cut out of the pain.

Knowing the harm of the Shi clan, Lin Feng needs to find a way to clean it up, so as not to get rid of the tail and continue to affect the development of the Yan Kingdom.

However, the problem is in front of us, the dragon cavalry guard is currently more than 10,000 people, and the number alone is not comparable to the private soldiers of the Shi clan, if you immediately take action against the Shi clan, I am afraid that the other party will be forced to a dead end, and the tiger will not be killed.

"Second brother, do you think you should move the Shi Clan, and when?"

Lin Feng knew that clearing the Shi clan and setting things right would inevitably offend the Yan State and even the Shi clan of the vassal states, and before there was no perfect strategy, he would not act rashly, on the contrary, unite and win over the people who are loyal to him, and Lin Xiao is the first choice.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Feng said categorically: "It must be killed, the existence of the Shi clan not only threatens the interests of the imperial family, but also affects the normal development of the Yan Kingdom."

It's just that several big families in Yan Country have been operating in Yan Country for many years, and they are deeply rooted, and it is not easy to clear them in a short time.

However, fortunately, there are only two or three scholars in Yan State who control the government, if they can clean up the representatives of the court and scholars, and check them layer by layer, these two or three families will not have the power to fight back.

However, during this period, the royal brother must divide the three major families, unite the small families, and strive to control the influence within a controllable range and reduce unnecessary harm. ”

"I naturally understand this, go ahead, I ponder alone."

Seeing that the emperor was focused on political affairs, Lin Xiao felt much more relieved, and turned around and left with a little smile.

"Second brother, wait?" Lin Feng suddenly remembered what to call Lin Xiao, rolled his eyes, and said, "Find some honest and shrewd account keepers to secretly help me check the accounts of the treasury expenditures." ”

Lin Xiaoren is a big ghost, how shrewd, he suddenly understood what Lin Feng meant, nodded, smiled even more, and walked towards the outside of the palace.

There was nothing to do, Lin Feng thought about how to go back to the palace to deduce how to get rid of the scholars, and wondered if there was a dynasty in his memory that was similar to Dayan, and how to turn things around, so as to change the passive situation everywhere.
