Guo Ziyi really has unique insights and talents in military affairs, these days he has learned a lot of marching and fighting skills by Zhao Ziliang's side, plus he himself has a rich military strategy and tactical theory, and now he is leading the troops to suppress bandits alone, and the command is a little jerky at first, but with the extension of time, it has become more and more proficient and handy.

Guo Ziyi first spent more than half a month sending outposts to find the hiding places of the horse bandits hiding in various parts of the grassland, and then analyzed the topography of these hiding places, and once again found out the scale, equipment and combat effectiveness of each group of horse bandits, and finally sent troops to annihilate these horse bandits.

Chang'an, Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.

Xuanzong looked at Cheng Yuanzhen, who was kneeling below, and asked a little unhappily: "Cheng Yuanzhen, didn't you just go to Mobei to supervise the army?" Why did you come back so quickly, is it because you are afraid of the bitter cold in Mobei and are unwilling to do this errand? ”

Cheng Yuanzhen kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, you can share your worries for Your Majesty, even if the slave maid is willing to go up to the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, just Mobei Town and Beicheng, although it is cold, but the slave and maid are cheap, what is this hardship?" ”

Xuanzong was a little puzzled and said, "Then why did you run back so quickly?" ”

Cheng Yuanzhen looked left and right and stopped talking, but still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the slave has something extremely important to report, and please ask Your Majesty to retreat!" ”

Gao Lishi, who was standing next to him, shouted: "Bold! Cheng Yuanzhen, you are just a little chamberlain, Your Majesty can afford you to let you go to Mobei to supervise the army, what qualifications do you have to make Your Majesty retreat? Tell me what you have to say! ”

As the chief eunuch in the palace, Gao Lishi has a lot of prestige, Cheng Yuanzhen was so scared that he almost peed his pants, when this matter is related to his future future, and the matter is too big, he can only grit his teeth and say: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has a way to make Your Majesty and the court not lack money to spend within ten years, but this matter can only be said to be heard by Your Majesty alone, if the news is leaked, the consequences are unimaginable!" ”

These days, Yang Yuhuan has been clamoring to build a new garden, but his inner treasury is not very full, and this kind of thing is not easy to open the treasury, so as not to be criticized by the ministers, Xuanzong is worried about the lack of money to spend, but now he heard Cheng Yuanzhen say that there is a way to make him not lack money to spend within ten years, he was shocked, no matter what, whether this method can really bring him a lot of wealth is worth hearing, and immediately waved his hand to Gao Lishi and ordered: "You all go down!" ”

Although Gao Lishi was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey the emperor, so he had to wave his hand to the surrounding chamberlains, palace maids, living officials, eunuchs and others, and withdrew from the Zichen Hall with them.

"Now it's just me and you, let's say, what is the way to make me and the court not lack money to spend within ten years?" Xuanzong looked at Cheng Yuanzhen and picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

Cheng Yuanzhen swallowed his saliva, sorted out the words in his mind, and then said: "Your Majesty, recently my Tang Dynasty has gained a vast grassland of thousands of miles in the north of the desert, and now the Khitan and Xi people on this grassland have been completely wiped out by General Zhao, except for a few horse bandits who are not in the climate, there is no one to graze. If you divide this prairie into a number of pastures and sell it, you will definitely get countless amounts of money! Your Majesty, please think about it, our Central Plains Dynasty has always lacked war horses, lack of cattle, if we divide this prairie into a number of pastures and sell them to the people of the Tang Dynasty who are good at grazing, first, Your Majesty and the court can get a lot of money, second, the court will never be short of horses, and third, the farmers of our Tang Dynasty also have enough cattle to plough the land, enough sheep to kill and eat meat, and mules and horses that cannot be war horses can be used to pull carts! That's a lot to do! Your Majesty, the slave and maid have calculated, and the grassland will be five yuan at the price of the lowest field in my Datang, no, even if it is only sold for two dollars, the Mobei grassland is about two thousand five hundred miles deep from north to south, and about two thousand miles wide from east to west, which is how many thousands of acres, and there are many mountains and forests rich in gold, silver, copper and iron minerals, these are all money, Your Majesty! ”

After listening to Cheng Yuanzhen's words, Xuanzong's face suddenly moved, his spirit was extremely excited, the golden light flashed in his eyes, and he stood up from the throne very excitedly and said: "Okay, good, why didn't I think that this grassland can also be sold, there are many people who will graze in the north, and cattle, sheep and horses have always been in short supply in my Tang Dynasty, if there are cattle, sheep and horses transported from Mobei to sell, don't worry about not being able to sell them, someone will definitely buy grassland, and the prairie of more than 2,000 miles from north to south can be sold for 500 million guan?" No, more than that, hahaha······".

Cheng Yuanzhen bowed his head at the right time and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Xuanzong laughed happily for a long time before stopping, sat back on the throne and said to Cheng Yuanzhen with a pleasant face: "Cheng Yuanzhen, you are very good, I will definitely reward you again!" Hmm······ No, no, you didn't come up with this solution, did you? ”

Cheng Yuanzhen looked up and saw Xuanzong looking at him with playful eyes, feeling that he was stripped naked all over his body, so he had to say honestly: "Your Majesty is discerning, this method is indeed not thought out by the slave and maid alone, it was Zhao Ziliang and Zhao Houye who came up with it first, and the slave and maid have made some improvements. ”

A fold was taken out of his arms by Cheng Yuanzhen and presented it with both hands, Xuanzong said "oh", hurriedly took it and opened it, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more joyful his face became, and the more he looked at it, the more radiant he became.

After reading the recital, Xuanzong excitedly stepped off the throne and walked back and forth in the main hall, so excited that he couldn't help himself, and after walking a few back and forth, he couldn't wait to say: "No, I want to convene all the ministers to discuss this matter, and implement it immediately!" ”

Cheng Yuanzhen was shocked and hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, this matter must not alarm the ministers!" ”

Xuanzong just opened his mouth to call someone to pass the decree, but was stopped by Cheng Yuanzhen, and wondered: "Cheng Yuanzhen, why is this?" ”

Cheng Yuanzhen immediately said the prepared words: "Your Majesty, if you sell all the pastures, I am afraid that the money you will get will be piled up into mountains of gold and silver, such huge benefits, who is not impressed, who is not blushing, and who does not want to get a piece of the pie?" Your Majesty thinks that those ministers are loyal ministers, but which of them has no selfish intentions? Which one of them doesn't have a huge family behind them? The slave dares to use her head to vouch, if this matter is discussed by the ministers, even if it is finally implemented, Your Majesty's income is only afraid that it will shrink significantly, although Your Majesty is the noble Ninety-Five, but if the ministers do not profit in this matter, will they unite to oppose this matter? What should Your Majesty do at that time? I'm afraid that His Majesty can only compromise for the sake of the stability of the court, so selling the grassland will be divided between the families behind the ministers and His Majesty, and then after their layers of exploitation and deduction, His Majesty can get a layer is considered a blessing, but if His Majesty does not go through the ministers, but directly issues an order over the ministers, resulting in an established fact, even if the ministers finally know about it, they are helpless, do they dare to let Your Majesty withdraw the holy decree? What's more, the money obtained was not obtained by His Majesty alone, and a part of it was allocated to the imperial court to enrich the treasury, so what reason did they have to oppose it, who had always regarded themselves as loyal ministers? ”

Xuanzong was overjoyed when he heard this, and praised again and again: "Okay, Cheng Yuanzhen, you are so right, that's right, this matter can't be known to the ministers in advance!" Zhao Ziliang has already written out the steps to operate this matter on the fold, but he has not written out the details, presumably he has already had a belly case, since this is the case, he will not bother the two masters, and he will be fully responsible for the sale of grassland, in the name of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Zhenbei City and Shan Yu Du Hu Mansion, you will assist from the side! Remember, keep an eye on my money bag, Zhao Ziliang's little ghost is very slippery, don't be fooled by him! ”

Cheng Yuanzhen was overjoyed, "The slave obeys the order!" Please rest assured, the slave must be optimistic about His Majesty's money bag, Zhao Ziliang don't want to take advantage of a penny! ”

"Hahaha······· Come to the person, the intention is ······".

Under the dictation of Xuanzong and the pen of the eunuch, a holy decree was freshly baked, and the holy decree was directly stamped with a jade seal and taken to the subordinate institutions of the political hall for filing without the discussion of the leaders of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, and then handed over to Cheng Yuanzhen, ready to be brought back to Mobei by him and handed over to Zhao Ziliang, after all, Zhao Ziliang is the direct person in charge, without the holy decree, Zhao Ziliang would not dare to sell the land indiscriminately.

Cheng Yuanzhen carefully put away the holy decree, and took out two copies of the fold and presented it to Xuanzong, one is Zhao Ziliang's recommendation of Zhang Shouyu, Gao Xiuyan, Guo Ziyi and others in the last year's war with the Xi and Khitan people in the promotion list of meritorious generals, the other is that Zhao Ziliang wants to re-establish the army in Zhenbei City with a new number, so as to facilitate unified command, after all, it is justifiable to have a name, these armies are all drawn from all over Hedong, and basically they are not subordinate to each other in terms of establishment, but if these armies are reorganized into an army, it will be justified.

In fact, Zhao Ziliang's method of not going through normal channels to present the recital to the emperor is not in accordance with the rules, and the courtiers will definitely oppose it, and even write a letter of impeachment, but as long as the emperor doesn't mind, it's not a big deal, and this kind of thing is also common in the court.

Xuanzong was in a very good mood, and after reading Zhao Ziliang's two recitals, he didn't feel anything wrong, and immediately approved with the imperial pen, and the inner servant transferred it to Shangshutai for execution.

After doing this, Xuanzong said to Cheng Yuanzhen: "You hurry back to Mobei and assist Zhao Ziliang to handle this matter as soon as possible, I am still waiting for Qian to build a garden!" ”

Cheng Yuanzhen knelt down respectfully and saluted: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the slaves and maids will rush back to Mobei as soon as possible, in fact, Marquis Zhao should already be operating at this time, just wait for His Majesty's holy decree to be fully rolled out as soon as it arrives, and the people who buy the pasture will definitely be crowded at that time!" ”

"Okay, good, you go, go quickly, I'm waiting for your good news!" (To be continued.) )
