Chapter 1278: A red heart, prepare with both hands
Jongjin said goodbye and left.
Through talking with him, Qin Feng was also very satisfied with him, at least this person now has a clear mind, knows what Da Ming wants, and knows what he should do. There are no radical thoughts, and he doesn't show anything because he used to be a minister of the Qin State and now he is excited to make meritorious contributions, his mentality is very peaceful. For the obvious configuration of checks and balances that let him and Chen Shaowei team up, he also seemed very calm, without any dissatisfaction. A person who is familiar with the situation in Qin, has a certain influence in the Qin State, and has a peaceful mind is exactly what Qin Feng wants to need now.
"This Zhong Zhen is really good, Shousuke took a lot of effort to pull him over, right?" Qin Feng looked at Quan Yundao with a smile.
"At first, I tried a few times, but I was rejected by a mouthful, and I was ready to give Wang Lingbo a mess for a long time, but then I couldn't help it? Let Shu Chang say to Wang Lingbo, and take him around Daming for a long time, not to mention, it is very effective, and it touches him a lot, in fact, it is still very difficult for a person like him to really have a heart like an ancient well." Quan Yun said with a smile: "After he came back, I personally invited him to the door, and sure enough, I didn't insist anymore, and things in the future will be simple."
"Wang Lingbo has made a contribution!" Qin Feng said with a smile: "Fortunately, Xi'er didn't kill Zhong Zhen with one punch, otherwise we would have one less capable minister. I don't think it's better to do this, and get Wang Lingbo to Yongdu City too."
"Wang Lingbo is willing to go?" Quan Yun asked rhetorically, "Yongdu is not as prosperous as Yuejing City."
"Let's let Shu Chang come forward." Qin Feng said: "It's not that you won't let him come back. Shu Chang cured Deng Pu and Li Zhi back then, his name is very resounding in Yongdu, and now that his proud disciple goes to Yongdu, there will inevitably be someone who will welcome him, and having such a person stay where to thread the needle for Zhong Zhen will be conducive to Zhong Zhen's work."
"Your Majesty is right!" Quan Yun nodded repeatedly.
Du Yu Shi Jin Jingnan suddenly said: "Didn't Your Majesty set up a point in Yongdu City?" It's the medical hall of Cheng Xiaoyu and Mrs. Liu, it's better to let Wang Lingbo go for a consultation, so that with the fame of Doctor Shu, it would be better to hold them a little higher!"
"It's a good idea!" Qin Feng applauded and laughed. Since ancient times, it is easy to lay down a place, but it is difficult to integrate a place, Wang Lingbo is here, it can be said that he kills two birds with one stone, then it is decided, I will talk to Shu Chang when I go back."
Everyone laughed, anyway, calling Wang Lingbo, this kid, everyone has no psychological burden, young people, of course, they have to bear some burdens. Besides, there is no better person than him. Wang Lingbo is a disciple of Shu Chang, he has a lot of prestige in Qindi, he has a very good relationship with Zhong Zhen, and personally cured Zhong Zhen's injuries, but he has also been a front-line military doctor at the grassroots level in Chen Shaowei's military intelligence, and he also has a friendship with Chen Shaowei, the existence of such a person can also become the lubricant between Zhong Zhen and Chen Shaowei.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of the report on Wuling's side? Are the Qi people really ready to fight us?" Quan Yun changed the topic, "Judging from the twists and turns of Wuling and the intelligence gathered by the Eagle's Nest, the Qi people do have a tendency to make such preparations, and the Dragon Mosaic Army is beginning to move towards Changning County on a large scale."
"Cao Tian has become a domestic reformer, and he has been holding back his anger with us for a long time, and now I am afraid that he feels that the opportunity has come, and it is very likely that he will take this opportunity to test us." Qin Feng sneered: "Zhou Jiyun suffered a big loss in Wanzhou, and now Bian Wushuang is pressing forward step by step, Zhou Jiyun has shifted from offense to defense, and the momentum of the wealthy clan in Qi has greatly decreased, Cao Tiancheng feels that he can control the overall situation, so he aims at us."
"Test us?" Kim Kyung-nam was a little puzzled.
"We have just defeated the Qin State, no matter what, it is a battle of the country, the labor division has traveled thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of troops have traveled long distances, the war is over, now is the most relaxed time, the whole Ming Dynasty is enjoying the joy of victory! And the treasury is also the most empty time, in Yongdu City for more than half a year, spending money like running water, Cao Tiancheng can certainly calculate this account, the reason why it is said to be a temptation, he wants to see our reaction, if we retreat, he will have to inch in, do whatever he wants." QIN Fengdao.
"In that case, we should give him a blow in the head." Jin Jingnan said fiercely: "Let him know that even now, we are not afraid of them at all."
"The household department can use the emergency reserve fund to deal with this war." Su Kairong also hurriedly expressed his position.
"What? This time, Su Shangshu has money in his pocket?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, since Geng Jingming took office, there have been many tricks to make money, the transformation of the capital city, the large-scale development of the medical school plot, and the large-scale reform of the tax system, all of which have increased a lot of revenue for the treasury, and the treasury that has been empty has finally had savings, and this emergency reserve has always been there, but until the moment of emergency, the minister is unwilling to take it out. Now that Qi Guo wants to take advantage of the danger of the people, if he doesn't beat them back at once, won't it be endless? So this money, even if the minister grits his teeth, he will definitely take it out." Su Kairong Road.
Qin Feng played with the paperweight on the table, and said after a moment of silence: "Fight, we must prepare to fight, but we still have to find a way to make them unable to fight if they want to. A red heart, prepare with both hands."
"Your Majesty, this kind of thing, don't be half-hearted!" Jin Jingnan said bluntly: "If this mentality is known to the front-line generals, it is inevitable that they will slack off."
"Of course not!" Qin Feng said with a smile: "Preparations for war must still be carried out actively, the army must be redeployed, and the materials must be fully supplied, after all, our next strategic focus will be shifted to the direction of Qi State, and the army, the deployment of materials in the past, will not be wasted, but our actions will strengthen the combat determination of the front-line generals, and also let the Qi people see our determination not to give an inch. Be prepared to fight, but you don't have to! Skillful, how is the railway from Shayangfeng County to Zhaoguan repaired by the Railway Administration?"
"Your Majesty, Yiyang has been fully connected, and Wuling has been half repaired, but the further forward, the slower the progress will be, because the further forward, the worse the local economy, the fewer people, the minister estimates, it will take another year for Wuling to be through, and if it is to be repaired to Taoyuan, I am afraid that it will take three years, after all, this is not only to repair the road, all kinds of supporting facilities can not keep up, it is equivalent to no repair."
"The speed is a little slower, the Railway Department should think of more ways to speed up the progress, I hope that when we officially start the battle with Qi to dominate the world, the railway has run through the whole line, and our soldiers and horses can reach the main battlefield in the shortest possible time." Qin Feng frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, the main thing is that when the railway is built in these three places, it is ironclad that it will lose a lot of money, and the enthusiasm of the merchants to participate is greatly reduced, and it all depends on the investment of the imperial court, and the financial pressure is too great."
"Don't always think about the economy, sometimes you have to think more about the big picture, and for the businessmen who actively participated in the construction of this railway, the Commerce Department can consider giving some compensation in other aspects, such as giving some franchises." Qin Feng turned his head to look at Wang Yueyao.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will discuss this matter with the Ministry of Industry and the Railway Department after I go down." Wang Yueyao nodded.
"The businessmen of the Ming Dynasty can't just make money on their own, and they have to think about doing more for the country. If the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, they will have more opportunities to make money, and if the Ming Dynasty is defeated, it will be their end." Qin Feng said with a calm face: "In the past few years, we have created too many opportunities for them, and we have also given them a very relaxed environment, and some people have forgotten their roots."
Wang Yueyao lowered her head.
"Your Majesty, there are profit-seekers among the merchants, but there are also those who understand the great righteousness, as long as you tell them the truth, I believe they can think through these issues." Quan Yun smiled and relieved Wang Yueyao.
"I hope so!" Qin Feng said lightly. Old Guo, how are things prepared in Bozhou?"
"Your Majesty, the soldiers we sent out have been in place through secret channels, Zhou Shuguang has made all the preparations there, and those wealthy families of Qi have also entered Bozhou through various channels, there is cash, and there are also various materials, it can be said that everything is ready now, only the east wind is owed, Your Majesty has an order, and it can be launched over there." Guo Jiuling said with a smile: "The information that came back from Bozhou a few days ago that General Yu Xiu'e has also arrived in Bozhou, and the army we went to Bozhou will now be temporarily placed under the command of General Yu and commanded by her."
"Good!" Qin Feng clapped his hands, "Then let Zhou Shuguang move, didn't Cao Tiancheng think that the overall situation was under his control?" Then let's give him a little surprise! I want to see, Bozhou is in chaos, and the domestic wealthy families are ready to move, does he still have the heart to have a big fight with us in Taoyuan?"
"I'm afraid that when that time comes, he will immediately turn around and make peace with us." Quan Yun said with a smile.
"What he is afraid of is not the rebellion in Bozhou, what he is most afraid of is what is the linkage between Zhou Shuguang and Zhou Jiyun in Bozhou? He couldn't sit still. Hahaha, the Chu State side also has to think of a way, Bozhou has started, and the six counties in the east of them should also stop, don't put any pressure on Zhou Jiyun, and let the family take a breath!"
"Your Majesty is right!" Quan Yun smiled, he knew that on top of such an enlarged meeting, Qin Feng did not want to disclose the secret relationship with Bian Wushuang." We can use the fact that the war with Qin has just ended, the funds are difficult, and the loans to the Chu State are suspended, and they will not continue to pay their troops, and under the pretext that we are preparing for a large-scale war with the Qi State, we can no longer provide them with timely weapon support, and I believe that without our strong support, their confrontation with Zhou Jiyun will also be a little more than enough and their strength will be insufficient."
"Then do it, by the way, there is also the matter of Ma Chao, I have to ask them strictly. The envoy who went should be more domineering." Qin Feng said with a smile.
