Wu Ying Palace, the five Qilin Pavilion scholars of the Political Affairs Hall, and the five Wu Ying Hall scholars of the Military Aircraft Department gathered together, these ten people can be said to be the most important force in the Tang Dynasty, and all kinds of orders are issued from these ten people. There are also two people who are Li Dingbei, the king of Qin, and Li Fu, the king of Pengcheng County, Zongzheng, also appeared on the main hall.

"Summoning all the secretaries to come today, I think you also know what is going on, yes, it is the southern expedition." Li Jing was dressed in a black power suit, which seemed to have a bit of a solemn atmosphere on the whole person, and the aura in the hall became cold, and Zhao Ding and the others became much more cautious. Li Dingbei looked at his father with admiration, he did not follow Li Jing to the court once, but it was rare to see it like today.

"Your Majesty, most of the grain and grass for the southern expedition have been prepared, as long as it can last for a month, the autumn harvest of the imperial court will be completed, and enough grain and grass will be provided for the army." Cao Jing said. A year of famine has greatly damaged the vitality of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing often sends troops on a small scale, Cao Jing, as the head of the household, has worked hard this year, and now he is finally relieved.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. This time, the army is divided into four routes, and the three armies have a total of 500,000 people, and the momentum is huge, and the grain and grass consumed every day is also a huge number. Li Jing nodded with satisfaction. Although the Tang family has a big business, he knows that Cao Jing, the head of the household, is not easy to be a scholar, and the literati look down on him, not to mention, but he has to work hard for the DPRK, but he is in his forties, and his sideburns are already a little gray, which shows the pressure he has been under this year.

"The minister will buy some grain from the south." The corners of Cao Jing's mouth showed a trace of bitterness, although the imperial court has money, it can't spend it like this! It's just that since Li Jing said it, Cao Jing can't do anything.

"Haha, I'm afraid Lord Cao is worried about the money in the household department again." Zhao Ding saw it clearly and couldn't help but quip.

"As the official of the household department, Xia Guan is naturally looking at His Majesty's silver." Cao Jing hurriedly explained: "It's just that Your Majesty wants to use money, so naturally you want to use it." ”

"When the Southern Song Dynasty is resolved, I'm afraid we will have to rest for a year or two, and then completely solve the Jin people. Spending money now is to earn more money in the future, a Central Plains, can help us raise a million army, if we annex Jiangnan, we will get more, and the treasury will become more full. Li Jing also smiled: "This money is stored in the treasury, which can only make the money moldy, and only by spending it and driving the flow of materials in the world can the court get more." "Money is circulated, and it is stored in the treasury, but it does not actually increase in value. This kind of knowledge is not known very much in ancient times, in the final analysis, it is still because of low productivity, shallow knowledge, and of course, it is also because at this time, the country's ability to resist risks is poor, and more money is needed to deal with any unexpected risks. So, people in this era need to save money, and so does the imperial court, just in case. Even if Cao Jing has some talent in this area, he can only have some primitive economic knowledge, and he doesn't know as much as Li Jing.

"Lord Cao, there have been victories on the grassland and in the hometown of Hehuang recently, I am afraid that in the near future, General Lin Chong and General Gao Chong will send countless gold and silver treasures to your lordship, and now it is worth spending some money to buy food." Yelu Dashi said with a smile.

"I have food in my hands, and I don't panic in my heart. No matter how powerful Yue Fei is, he can't win for a year and a half, and we can still kill each other with our strong economic strength. Li Jing nodded and said, "The Western Regions are good, there is a lot of gold and silver in the Western Regions, if we can send all that gold to the Central Plains, I'm afraid that our Lord Cao will wake up laughing from sleep." ”

There is a lot of gold in the Western Regions, this is a thing that everyone knows, those countries in Central Asia like gold the most, this time Gao Chong and Lin Chong both believe that they can bring enough gold to the Tang Dynasty to make up for the loss of the imperial court.

Cao Jing thought of this, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, there is a lot of gold in the Western Regions, and the royal families of all countries in the Western Regions like to collect gold, I believe that this time Lin Chong and Gao Chong are in the Western Regions so much, they will bring a lot of gold to the imperial court, which is something that I didn't expect.

"With food and money, the next step is to send troops." Li Jinghu's eyes flashed, and he said: "The most powerful person in the Southern Song Dynasty is only Yue Fei, and if you want to deal with Yue Fei, only I will go out in person." This time, I want to deal with Yue Fei. Tackle it head-on from the battlefield. Li Jing took a deep breath, before this, he had recruited Yue Fei, and he had also separated Yue Fei, but unfortunately they all failed, and Yue Fei was like a Xiao Qiang who couldn't be killed, he could live well every time, and he didn't know how many generals died in his hands, this time Li Jing decided to personally lead the army to attack.

"Zhao Huan moved the capital to Lin'an, just to avoid that after Xiangyang City was besieged by us, there was no one in Jiangnan to command, and the minister thought that Yue Fei would not be in Xiangyang City, but in Hangzhou." Gongsun Sheng pointed to the map and said: "Jiankang cannot be defended, Yue Fei must know, he is in Jiankang at most to move the surrounding people, with the dense water network in the south of the Yangtze River to block our footsteps to the south, in fact, most of the energy is still in the Hangzhou area." ”

"Yue Fei is very loyal, he can only follow Zhao Huan, hehe!" Li Jing looked at the huge map on the side and said: "Although Xiangyang is important, it is more important than Zhao Huan, without Zhao Huan, everything is useless, but what if there is Zhao Huan?" Let Wang Yin go back, we have to block Yue Fei in Lin'an, little Zhao Huan, there is no way to escape. ”

Everyone listened to the silence for a while, and soon became high-spirited, what could be more exciting than this matter, in their eyes, the world is actually Jiangnan, the Central Plains, North China, Bashu or the Western Regions, now in addition to Jiangnan, other places have fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing is ready to recover Jiangnan in person, the world is about to be unified, these people will also go down in history, naturally they are extremely happy in their hearts.

"Li Qiao led 100,000 troops to Jingzhou in the east, Seed Master Dao led 100,000 troops to attack Xiangyang, I led 300,000 troops, joined Han Shizhong and Wu Jue to attack Jiankang, and directly took Yue Fei." Li Jing did not have any other strategy, but directly led the army, like Mount Tai pressing the top, to press Yue Fei hard in the south of the Yangtze River, so as to eliminate Yue Fei in one fell swoop. Li Jing sent 500,000 troops, divided into three routes, but with Wang Yin's tens of thousands of troops, the Yue family army against Yue Fei was nearly 400,000, and Li Jing believed that Yue Fei would be absolutely difficult to resist. Not to mention, Li Qiao's attack on Jingzhou will definitely be able to win first, and when the time comes, it will be easier for the army to advance eastward and hunt Yue Fei.
