"Since Lord You said that it is for His Majesty's worries, then take out a thousand stone of grain, and then make an additional thousand stone for a private person, a total of two thousand stones, and transport it to the front line." Shi Min said.

"Your father and son are really interesting, ask him to personally pay a thousand stones, you Xihuahou Mansion might as well go and grab it directly!" Shi Zun accused.

"Since we are courtiers, we should share the worries for Your Majesty, usually loyal to the monarch and patriotism are shouted on the lips, and at this critical time, you can see who is disobeying the yang and the yin!" Shi Min said: "The Prime Minister has just said that if another 50,000 stones are produced, I am afraid that there will be chaos, and even if the people can survive this winter, they may not be able to survive next year's harvest!" When the time comes, who will feed the people everywhere? Rather than figuring out a way when the time comes, it's better to plan ahead. ”

Shi Hu asked, "How do you plan for a rainy day?" ”

"As far as the minister knows, officials everywhere are more or less full of private pockets, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, especially the great people dare to do such things that occupy people's world, let alone other states and counties far away from the Emperor of the Mountain? If you ask the people, it is better to ask the court officials! ”

"Shi Min, please pay attention to your wording, Lord You did this, at most, it was just an improper move, and the essence was not wrong! You father and son don't use the topic to play! Shi Zun scolded.

"Since that's the case, why not give an extra thousand stones of grain to help Your Majesty? You won't be reluctant, right? Shi Min once again stirred up Youjian.

"Don't deceive people too much in your Xihuahou Mansion! A thousand stones? It is impossible to get a thousand stones for a year without eating or drinking up and down the Shangshu Mansion, what you said is light, why don't the Xihuahou Mansion take a thousand stones! You Jian said angrily.

"Hehe, the door of my Xihuahou Mansion is open at any time, Lord You can send someone to check at any time, don't say a thousand stones, even if there are two hundred stones, this candidate will take them all out!" Shi Zhan looked at You Jian seriously and said, "I don't know if it is inconvenient for Lord You to let Ben Hou go to your mansion to have a look?" ”

At this time, Gao Shangzhi said: "Your Majesty, what Xihuahou's father and son said is not a bad way!" At least, it's faster than relying on the people's little food. ”

Shi Hu seemed to feel that there was some truth, and was about to speak, but Shi Zun preemptively said: "Father, this matter must not be allowed!" ”

"Why?" Shi Hu asked.

"Putting aside how much the officials can come up with, and putting the pressure of this grain and grass on the heads of the officials in various states and counties, I'm afraid that there will be people who are resentful! After all, this is for no reason to let them dig into the house. ”

"The prince's words are wrong! The people are already living in difficulty, and asking them to pay tribute is tantamount to asking for their lives! Lives are gone, and those who are desperate will take risks! The officials are relatively rich, and if they make some efforts, it still has no effect! Shi Zhan said.

"I think you have a point! That's not as good as this! Both the people and officials at all levels must pay for food! No one suffers! Shi Hu looked at everyone and ordered: "Okay, this matter is decided!" Prime Minister, the matter of raising food and grass is still left to you, and I will draw up a decree for me and distribute it to all places! Be sure to get it together within a month and send it to Youzhou! ”

"Yes......"

"After the matter of grain and grass is over, let's talk about the deployment of troops." Shi Hu said, raising his hand slightly.

Lu Anxin on the side understood, and hurriedly took out a map behind him and spread it in front of Shi Hu.

"Come and take a look!" Shi Hu got up and beckoned everyone.

Everyone got up, stepped forward, and looked at the map.

"This time, I am the commander-in-chief, and I will take you to fight the Xianbei people!" Shi Hu said, unconsciously straightened his stomach, tightened his belt, and then said: "My descendants, this time, all of them are dispatched, I hope you will work hard, don't disappoint me!" ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Ministers obey Your Majesty's orders!" ”

"Father, the cold winter is approaching now, but according to the news sent by the Youzhou Thorn History, the Xianbei people don't seem to have the intention of retreating, so this battle, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!" Shi Zun said.

"Don't worry about this! Let's garrison Youzhou and open up the formation, Xianbei people don't dare to act rashly! But the winter outside the plug is even more difficult! Shi Hu said, took a wooden stick handed over by Lu An, pointed to the map, drew one, and said: "The defenders of Youzhou, and the prince's men and horses, will be deployed along this line!" ”

Shi Zun and the others nodded slightly, saying yes again and again. But Shi Zhan's father and son were silent.

"As for sneaking up on the flanks and cutting off the grain routes, it's up to you father and son." Shi Hu looked at Shi Zhan and his son and said.

"Yes!" Shi Zhan nodded in response.

"The Xihua Marquis Mansion just needs to do some small actions of stealing chickens and dogs, and the head-to-head confrontation should be handed over to Li Chengjun!" Shi Zun said disdainfully.

Shi Zhan sneered: "Generally, captive dogs can only bark and scare others at the door of their homes, and when they get to the wild, they have to see the wolf's ability!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, did you say? ”

"Then let's all look at the Five Emperor Brothers!"

"Alright, you both shut up!" Shi Hu scolded: "Have the strength to kill the Xianbei people, don't sneer here!" ”

"Erchen knows his mistake,......," Shi Zun said first.

Shi Zhan didn't say a word, and he didn't mean to admit his mistake.

Shi Hu glanced at him, didn't bother to think about it anymore, and said, "The most important thing is this sneak attack on the rear of the Xianbei people!" ”

Shi Hu said, looked at Shi Min solemnly, and asked, "Boy, are you sure?" ”

Shi Min glanced at Shi Zhan, thought for a while, nodded vigorously, and said, "The minister is sure!" ”

"Tell me what your plans are!" Shi Hu asked.

"Plans? No plan! Shi Min replied.

"What? Don't have a plan? Shi Hu didn't understand what Shi Min meant, and asked, "Where did you get your confidence without a plan?" ”

"It's just that I don't have any plans, so I pat my chest and say that I'm sure, isn't that a big talk?" Shi Zun scoffed.

"Your Majesty, the Central Plains are different from the outside of the Saiwai, many places are flat, there are no cities, no villages, and it is a cold winter soon, anything can happen. All actions can only be adapted to local conditions and guided according to the situation! Even "The Art of War" cannot be copied and used. ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying." Shi Hu nodded slightly, and said, "But I'm still a little worried!" ”

After Shi Hu finished speaking, he thought about it, and said to Shi Zhan: "I'm afraid Xiao Min is still a little tender, this errand is too dangerous, it's better to let someone else go!" ”

Shi Zhan said: "This matter has been carefully considered, and only Xiao Min is the most suitable." ”

"No! Let your subordinate Wang Shicheng go! Shi Hu said: "Xiao Min can follow me and wait for the dispatch!" ”

"Erchen's garrison in Handan needs Wang Shicheng's supervision, and he can't leave!"

"There's also a Li Chang! Let him go! ”

"Li Chang is brave and fierce, and it is not a problem to take the head of the enemy among the ten thousand armies, if he is a pioneer, he is unparalleled in the world. But the resourcefulness is not enough, it is difficult to take charge on its own! Shi Zhan said again.

"Hehe, according to what you say, no one can do this errand yet?" Shi Hu asked.

"Although Xiao Min is young, he is quite strategic, and his strength is also outstanding, and the people assigned to him by his sons this time are some veterans who have fought for many years, and they are experienced, there will be no problems, and the father does not have to worry!"

"Why didn't I see it before, you rabbit cub is more ruthless than me!" Shi Hu glared at Shi Zhan.

Shi Zhan said unhurriedly: "Master Yan is a high apprentice, since you want him to become a talent, you can't be too soft-hearted. ”
