The political affairs hall was indeed worried about Liu Ji's whim, and the matter did not form a unified opinion in Shangshu Province presided over by Li Mao, and the two servants had their own opinions, almost-for-tat.

Ge Shuhan and Wei Jiansu are in charge of the military department and the other are in charge of the household department, and from their own perspectives, their views are naturally tended, especially the latter.

"Not to mention the three armies of the big pickaxe years ago, the new establishment of a large capital protectorate, the relocation of 100,000 soldiers and horses, is an innumerable headache, before the situation stabilizes, at least within two years, these 100,000 people chew grain and grass, all have to be allocated from Guanzhong, Hexi, Longyou, a stone of corn, even if there is nothing on the road, the loss alone will reach more than fifty percent, Guanzhong is already short of grain, and every grain of rice is transported from Henan, Jiangnan, Lianghuai and other places, and its wear and tear is even more unknown, this, the king of Geshu County will not know it."

Of course Geshuhan knew, he said with a blank face.

"If it doesn't work in two years, the imperial court can give Li Guangbi a period of one year at most, and after one year, the Zhenfan Protectorate will have to solve at least thirty percent of the food supply by itself, and this matter will be told to him."

"You said it easily, what to solve? The local climate, can you recruit people to Tuntian? ”

"The border people captive by the Tibetans were resettled on the spot, pastures and fields were distributed to them, and the government provided agricultural tools and seeds, and the harvest would be available in a year at most."

"Don't you say so, forget that the Tubo people have returned more than 50,000 border people, and no one in the border counties is willing to accept them, if as you said, they are placed near the city of Luo, in the first year, the government will not only provide farm tools, seeds and livestock, but the most important thing is rations, for which the household department must prepare more than 100,000 people, plus 100,000 soldiers and horses, the pressure this year is too great."

"No matter how much pressure you have, you have to resist it, this is what we exchanged for the lives of 100,000 soldiers, and after the first year, it will be much more relaxed next year."

Wei Jiansu showed a wry smile: "Li Du Hu saw that the heaven and earth were sitting in the yamen of the household department, urging money and food, but the household department did not produce money and grain, and those warehouses in the capital were all prepared for emergencies, without the nod of the Son of Heaven, who would dare to move?" ”

At this time, Li Mao, who had not interjected, said.

"I can't care about it so much, Li Guangbi is anxious, because 200,000 mouths are waiting to be fed, if you don't give it to him, there will be a mess, a big mess, and the storage matter will go to the palace to ask for the supreme, you discuss a charter to come out, no matter what, tighten this end first, vacant one, go to Henan Mansion, and make up for it with Luokou's grain reserves."

Tianbao 12 years of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, there is no shortage of money or food, the lack is just a way, from the south of the Yangtze River to Luoyang through the Grand Canal, and then with manpower to transfer to Guanzhong, this is the norm since the founding of the country, and with the stability of the situation in Helong, the shortage of grain in Guanzhong has been alleviated, otherwise this war will be fought, not only will it be harvested, but it will carry a huge burden, which is enough to drag down the finances of the entire country.

Li Mao took the initiative to take over the heavy responsibility, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, the dispute was a dispute, and it was their original intention to do things well, Ge Shuhan thought about it, and said again.

"In fact, the matter is not so serious, Tubo is attached, this road is open, and now there are many caravans walking in it, it may not be easy for them to transport grain, to exchange grain and grass for customs clearance documents, and the government buys it at a price of more than fifty percent, to ensure that they do not suffer losses, which can also reduce the burden of some imperial courts."

"Good idea, the county king's plan should be feasible, the merchant is profitable, but there are more pack horses, and if you sell the grain, you can bring more goods back, why not?"

Li Mao's eyes also lit up: "There is another one, the grain and rice produced by Tianzhu are not inferior to our dynasty, they are unlucky back and forth, and what they get is not worse than ordinary things." ”

Ge Shuhan was not surprised by their reaction, because when he heard about it, it was like this, and he remembered the prospect that someone had described to him, a road without commercial value was not worth fighting for at all, on the contrary, if there was great commercial value, the government only needed to use administrative means to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of businessmen to protect their interests and safety, and no matter how great the difficulty was, because they were the most subjective and active group of people in the world.

If all the grain and grass are supplied by the government, transportation is a big problem, the climate on the plateau is harsh, and the people who have been recruited are afraid that they will fall down before they reach halfway, and someone also has a solution to this problem.

"Now the hearts of the Suvi people are towards me, their territory is sandwiched between Luo and Longyou, closer to Longyou, we exchange grain and grass and other things with them, and then they send them to Luo, not only can save the people, but also reduce the loss of food, just take five as an example, even if we pay an extra fifty percent of the price, it is worth it."

Wei Jiansu was stunned when he heard this: "King Geshu, you are not kind, you have a good idea, but you don't say it, so you are worried in vain." ”

"Wang Moling of Xining County is still in the post house, without further ado, I will send someone to invite him to discuss the details."

Li Mao said just do it, and said excitedly.

"King Geshu, what other good ideas do you have, let's take them out together, don't you want to hide your secrets?"

Ge Shuhan spread his hands: "Hugh came to make fun of a certain family, these ideas are all made by others, and a certain is just an excuse to relay." ”

"But he did say that in the first year, the Tubo people would never dare to rebel again, Li Guangbi could have put on a tough posture, squeezed them, forced them to hand over their grain or livestock, and the tribes that paid more could be rewarded with fertile land with water and grass, and those who paid less or refused to pay were divided by other tribes, without spending a single soldier on us."

Li Mao and Wei Jiansu glanced at each other, and they both gasped in their hearts, this move was too poisonous, weakening the other party and strengthening themselves at the same time, and inadvertently planting the seeds of discord among the Tubo people, killing several birds with one stone, they already believed that Ge Shuhan would not come up with such a bad trick.

"Don't look at a certain person like this, the one who came up with this plan is the one who gave us a headache, the seventeen-year-old town guard."

Liu Ji!

Since there is a way to solve it, Li Mao and the others are not in a hurry, and instead discuss the problem of this young man.

"The Supreme asked us to discuss, in fact, we have already made our attitude clear, what do you think?"

Ge Shuhan didn't speak, and Wei Jiansu sighed: "The matter is obvious, this town guard can give it, and if you don't give it, you have to give it, but according to a certain opinion, you must be cautious." ”

"What are Sangkooks worried about?"

"I'm not worried about Liu Wulang's ability, I'm just afraid that he won't be able to take it."

"Are you worried that he is guarding this place and wants to provoke a bigger incident?"

"Isn't Your Highness worried?"

Li Mao was silent, Broken Leaf City itself has been destroyed, what really matters is its location, it is precisely at the intersection of several forces, especially the Turgish and the Qarluqs, they will never sit idly by and watch such a critical place fall into the hands of the Tang people again, and the attitude of the countries in the river is also very subtle, coupled with the big food behind them, it must be false to say that they are not worried.

But the question is, the Supreme did not veto it on the spot, but handed it over to the political hall for discussion, will it already have this meaning? If the conclusion reached by the political affairs hall is different from that of the Son of Heaven, then it has reached the point of dismantling and reorganizing, and no one wants to end up like that for the prime ministers who have just been in office for less than a month.

At this moment, Ge Shuhan, who had not spoken, suddenly opened his mouth.

"Broken leaves, but the old place."
