"Me?" Guo Ye said: "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid most people will support the house servant shooting, right?" The same is true for Wechen. ”

His Majesty Li Er said, "Uh...... You're really wrong. For example, King Jiangxia, don't look at his words in support of Fang Aiqing just now, but if he wants to say that he is now using troops against Jiannan Dao, he will start to oppose it again. ”

"Why?"

Li Daozong spread his hands and said, "To put it simply, the household department has no money!" ”

"How is that possible? Who doesn't know that my Datang Mansion Treasury is full ......"

"You're talking about the sum, I'm talking about the part! There is money elsewhere, but the problem is that it is not easy to transport. In order to quell this rebellion, we must mobilize at least 100,000 troops. A man eats a horse and chews a war, and what is the reward in the war, which is not to be spent? Are you going to resist in Shuzhong? ”

Guo Ye hesitated: "Hasn't Shu always been rich? Do you still have to rely on money and food from the outside? ”

"That's not what you say." Fang Xuanling explained: "Although Shu has not experienced any wars, it is richer than other places. But I, Datang, swept the world, thanks to the manpower and material resources of Shudi. When the Tang Dynasty dominates the world, the money and grain accumulated in Shu are almost consumed. ”

"But our Datang has been peaceful for more than ten years, and that's not enough?"

"Shudi has been peaceful for nearly 20 years, and it can indeed be said that it has recovered a little bit of vitality. However, to bear the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops, it is still far from enough to rely on local forces. The slightest carelessness may lead to an even greater rebellion. ”

Speaking of this, Li Daozong spread his hands and said: "Therefore, the servant shoots to solve the bureaucracy once and for all, and I agree with both hands." But to name the money...... The household department really can't help it. ”

Guo Ye said: "No, I think the money and grain in Shu could be transported out, but now I can't transport it?" What is the rationale for this? ”

"Of course it's different. At the beginning, the world was in turmoil, and even if there was a stutter, it didn't cost much money, whether it was to levy and distribute grain to the people or reward the soldiers. To put it simply, money and food are more expensive than people. But now the situation is very different. ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "Of course, with my Datang's strength, this money can't be made up. But if this obstructs the plan to conquer Goguryeo, it will inevitably be a little uneconomical. In any case, Goguryeo is always much more threatening than the bureaucrats, right? ”

Guo Ye knew that there were still some things that Li Daozong could not say in front of the public - Goguryeo was considered an enemy country, and officers and soldiers could loot to make up for the lack of rewards. But the bureaucrats are the people of the Tang Dynasty, and robbing them is a bit too much.

Besides, Goguryeo was rich in gold and silver, but the bureaucrats were a bunch of poor people. Even if robbery is allowed, I am afraid that it will not be able to squeeze any oil and water.

All things considered, the use of 100,000 troops in Shu is almost equivalent to the use of 300,000 troops against Goguryeo, which is indeed a pain in the muscles and bones for the Tang Dynasty.

More importantly, the wingmen could not defeat and hid in the mountains, and played guerrilla warfare. If the goal is to change the land and return to the stream, when will this battle end?

It is no wonder that although Li Daozong is willing to change the land and return to the stream, he does not approve of sending a large army.

It's like in modern society, everyone is happy to fantasize about slaughtering the sun and destroying the United States. But if you really want to vote or not, I'm afraid most people will have to be intimidated. Without him, the cost is too great.

Guo Ye nodded and said, "I understand, the key to the matter is still the word money and food." ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "In the money and food, but also in the people." If someone can use the money, food and troops of Shu to change the land and return to the stream, then there will be no problem. King Qin, what do you say? ”

Swish!

Everyone's eyes looked at Guo Ye's face.

Guo Ye was slightly stunned, and instantly understood, and said, "Your Majesty, you brought me here, don't you plan to hand over this job to me?" ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "I really mean that. To be honest, this is not only what I mean, but also what everyone Aiqing means. ”

Wei Ting said: "Sanzhou is in chaos because of your suggestion, and it is peaceful because of your expedition. The so-called beginning and end is also! King Qin, Chitose, this matter must be yours! ”

Li Jing said: "It is not difficult to quell the rebellion in the three states, just choose a general." The difficult thing is to change the land and return to the river after the rebellion. A person who is not a generalist in civil and military affairs is not competent. In today's court, it is none other than King Qin. ”

Li Daozong also said: "Originally, I should have done this job, but everyone disagreed." said that he was afraid that I would knock on the bones and suck the marrow of Shu and provoke a greater civil uprising. I have no choice but to leave this good errand to you. ”

Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "Of course, it is a good thing for King Jiangxia, but for Guo someone, it is not necessarily a blessing or a curse." You're making my clever woman cook without rice. ”

Kong Yingda said: "If you must act according to the proposal of the servant, I also agree with King Qin Chitose as the commander." ”

"Why is that?"

"Because you're a little bit of a stone-to-gold. If others go, in order to quell the rebellion, it will definitely strengthen the accumulation. And you, on the other hand, still hope to have another source of money. King Qin, I'm afraid you have more ways to make money than to fight, right? It is up to you not to extort the people and replenish the military funds. ”

Guo Ye said helplessly: "If I really have a way to make money, wouldn't I have used it a long time ago, and I still have to wait until now?" ”

Zhang Liang interjected: "Even if you can't make money, you are better than others." Anyway, Shuzhong is also your hometown. Even for the sake of the folks, you won't gather too much, right? ”

Guo Ye frowned, looked around, and said, "Then I went to Jiannan Road to quell the rebellion, is it what everyone means?" ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "All Aiqing thinks that if there is one person who can take care of both opinions, it is Guo Aiqing." Of course, if you don't want to ......."

"If you don't want it, you have to be happy!" Wei Chigong said in a loud voice: "To pacify Shudi, how can you get an important minister." You see, among the people present, which one is not more than ten years older than King Qin. This kind of mountain climbing work, he is embarrassed to let us old men do it? ”

His Majesty Li Er persuaded: "Actually, it's not just about climbing mountains. To break the bureaucracy, you have to pass through some plague places. You are young and in good health, and you may be able to withstand it. Others are old, and the danger is too great. ”

Xu Jingzong sneered and said, "King Qin is still young, won't he have already extinguished his desire to make meritorious contributions, right?" Or is it ...... Do you think staying in Chang'an City will play a bigger role than going to Shuzhong? ”

Yan Liben is an honest man, and he said: "The only king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty, you are in Chang'an, I don't know how many people are staring at you." In order to avoid being suspicious, I think it is better for you to stay in Shu for a few years. ”

This is a bit of a heart-wrenching statement, but it is right.

Guo Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I understand." Some of you are doing it for my good, but some of you don't like me staying in Chang'an. No matter what everyone thinks, they all want me to leave this place of right and wrong. ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "I am looking forward to you changing the land for me. But I don't know if King Qin is willing? ”

Guo Ye said: "Listening to people's advice to eat enough, what else can I say now?" Your Majesty, Weichen is willing. But ......"

"How?"

"It's not a good job. It is not impossible to quell the rebellion by relying only on the power of Shuzhong, but you have to give me full power for military administration. ”

"You want the full power of Jiannan Dao?" His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, and said, "That would be equivalent to splitting the land and sealing the king, which is inconsistent with the law of the country." Guo Aiqing, I don't doubt you, but if you do this, it is definitely not the way to protect the heroes. ”

"There is no full power, please forgive Weichen for not obeying his fate!"

"Guo Aiqing, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet. The war was both military and civilian. If you think about it, it's still civil. Therefore, I can give you full civil powers. As for the military, I can only give you half of the power. ”

"The army of Shu is divided into two?"

"Yes, the troops of the thirteen states near the rebellious states are at your disposal. As for the rest, you have to consult with an old general. ”

"But I wonder who the old general is?"

"Liang Jianfang!"
