In the main hall, after the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked Qin Du about the current basic situation of Tokugawa County, Zhao Youxiao asked Qin Du what questions he still had.
As soon as Qin Duan heard the question, he hurriedly said that he had an important situation to report to His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers. Zhao Youxiao saw that Qin Dui was very solemn, and hurriedly asked Qin Dui to explain in detail slowly.
"Your Majesty, although Tokugawa Prefecture seems to be calm at present, after careful investigation by the minister, there is a great danger, and if it is not solved in time, when the next Hun invasion, the fall of Tokugawa Prefecture will only be a matter of time."
As soon as Qin Dui's words came out, they immediately aroused the discussion of many ministers, and many ministers even thought that Qin Dui was alarmist and grandstanding, but several cabinet ministers and several officials from the Ministry of War nodded secretly.
Zhao Youxiao was also a little shocked, obviously he had just defeated the enemy army, how could the situation be so dangerous, he hurriedly interjected: "Qin Aiqing, then you can explain the situation in detail, so that I and the ministers can understand." ”
"Then the minister will tell me the details of this repulsion of the invasion of the Hun cavalry,"
Qin Dui compared the situation of the enemy and us in that battle, as well as the enemy's disadvantages and weaknesses, and his own advantages and strengths.
"But the current Tokugawa Prefecture can no longer withstand a war, one of which is that the city wall is damaged. To this day, there is no money to repair them, and the walls of the other four prefectures in Tokugawa Prefecture are also damaged. ”
"The second is that the army is less than 20,000 people, lacking training, equipment, provisions, logistics materials, etc., and many of them are recruits recruited after the war, and their combat effectiveness is extremely low."
"The third is. The population of Tokugawa Prefecture as a whole is less than 800,000, and the vast majority of them are women, children, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the troops are not replenished. ”
"Fourth, the Tokugawa Prefecture's economy is on the verge of collapse, and the local government has almost no financial resources, which cannot support the normal operation of the military and administrative organs."
"In addition, horse thieves and bandits are extremely rampant in the area, and there is an urgent need to improve the law and order environment, and the major forces around it are also planning to meddle in Tokugawa Prefecture, before I leave Tokugawa Prefecture. An enemy spy was captured, and he was a double agent serving both the Huns and the Loulans. If these issues are not resolved in the short term, what will be the consequences? ”
Qin Duan's list of several questions are very specific and realistic, even Zhao Youxiao also recognized the strict nature of the problem, especially a small country like Lian Loulan, which has a small border with the empire, and actually has ambitions, which cannot but make the ministers angry. I also feel anxious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just now Qin Aiqing has explained the specific difficulties of the current Tokugawa Prefecture. What do you think and think? ”
Zhao Youxiao's eyes swept over His Royal Highness's ministers, and finally his eyes fell on He Zhenglong, who was in charge of internal affairs and was also the Minister of Military Affairs and Minister of the Cabinet.
He Zhenglong saw that His Majesty's gaze fell on him, and knew that he wanted to express his opinion, so he had to cough dryly, "Just now, the Qin County Guard, Tokugawa County, is now facing a reflection. In the opinion of the ministers, this is mainly caused by the long-term aggression and ravages of the Huns in the past ten years, and the Tokugawa Prefecture of Tokugawa Prefecture is located on the choke point in the northwest of our country, and many surrounding forces have ambitions there. Once the Tokugawa Prefecture falls into the hands of the enemy, the entire northwest region of our country and even the entire western part of the country will face the threat of the enemy, so the minister believes that it is necessary to come up with a practical plan to consolidate the defense of the Tokugawa Prefecture, and to make the Tokugawa Prefecture a strong fortress against foreign invasion, of course, it is also very important to strengthen the defense capabilities of the other four prefectures of Tokugawa Prefecture, so that the other four prefectures of Tokugawa Prefecture can give Tokugawa Prefecture great support. ”
Zhao Youxiao also nodded, expressing his agreement with He Zhenglong's opinion, at this time, a young handsome man stood up, "Father, the son of the emperor thinks what Lord He said is extremely true, Tokugawa is the gateway to the northwest region of our country, and its strategic position is very important, and it must not fall into the hands of the enemy, so the son thinks that the central government of the empire should come up with effective measures to solve the current practical difficulties in Tokugawa." ”
This person is only in his twenties, he is quite handsome, has a unique temperament, and has a magnetic voice, which has a strong attraction to ordinary young women, and even Qin Duan is ashamed of himself. He is the only son of the Emperor Zhao Youxiao, the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhao Yan, although Qin Duan does not know him, but from his dress and temperament, and according to his title of Emperor of the Apocalypse, this person is definitely His Royal Highness Zhao Yan, the crown prince of the Great Qin Empire today.
Sure enough, Zhang Delong, the secretary of the military department, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with His Royal Highness the Prince's opinion, the location of the Tokugawa Prefecture is extremely important, located at the intersection of several forces, but now the military strength of the Imperial Military Department is also quite tight, and it is very difficult to withdraw troops to garrison Tokugawa County, and the minister thinks that Tokugawa County should be given strong support from other aspects, so that it can be restored to the situation more than ten years ago, so that Tokugawa County can have enough strength to protect itself, and it can also reduce the pressure on the imperial court." ”
Seeing that all the ministers had the same opinion as himself, and they all thought that measures should be taken to support Tokugawa County and ensure the stability of the northwest, Zhao Youxiao nodded and asked Qin Du: "Qin Aiqing, now the imperial military strength is also very tight, in addition to the army, what do you think you need from the imperial court?" ”
Qin Duan was overjoyed, he had done so much work, just waiting for the emperor's majesty's words, he didn't want the support of the imperial troops, that was to find himself unhappy, and he could get His Majesty's words, and it was inseparable from the help of other ministers, it seems that yesterday's gift still played a certain role. However, I knew that He Zhenglong was quite incorruptible, so I didn't consider him, but I didn't expect him to support him first.
"Back to His Majesty, the minister has already had some plans and handed them over to the ministries involved, mainly on some issues related to construction funds and immigration, and I implore His Majesty to support it." Qin Duan couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and replied respectfully.
Hearing that it only involved matters related to funds and immigration, Zhao Youxiao also breathed a sigh of relief, about the policies introduced by Tokugawa County, someone had already reported to Zhao Youxiao, but they were just some means to stimulate economic development, and today's proposal by Qin Duan did not exceed this range, he nodded, "I already know about your plan, and I agree, but I don't know if the time will be in time, you have to step up your preparations, the Huns will be rewarded." Mi Aiqing, Lu Aiqing, the two of you go down and make arrangements, and try to give Li Aiqing support. Qin Aiqing, I hope you can guard the northwest for me. ”
The Imperial Household Department Shangshu Mida, the cabinet minister Lu Changkong, and Qin Dui all expressed their obedience.
As soon as the court discussion ended, Qin Dui followed Mida to the household department of the empire, Qin Dui already knew very well about Mida, who was the father-in-law of the current emperor, of course, only the father of the more favored concubine of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and belonged to the emperor's relatives.
Mida is a very cunning person, belonging to the type of wall grass, except for the emperor's majesty, he also takes equidistant interactions with others, including the eldest prince and His Royal Highness the crown prince, does not take a position lightly, and maintains a good relationship with several parties. He has a special hobby, greedy for money and lustful but very cautious, especially fond of raising birds, and often spends a lot of money to buy valuable ornamental birds.
After Qin Dui and Mida came to the household department, Qin Dui stated to Mida the amount of funds needed for his plan, after all, this was the task that His Majesty the Emperor personally arranged the deployment, and Mida did not dare to make it difficult, but it took a certain amount of time to prepare for the allocation of funds, and Qin Dui did not force it, but just expressed his hope that he could complete it as much as possible.
Qin Du knows that it takes a certain amount of time to prepare the words, that is, to see if you understand it, if you understand, if you are more satisfied with filial piety, this speed will be very fast, if you don't understand anything, and you don't know filial piety, I'm sorry The empire's finances are also very difficult, and it may be possible that the money may be ten or eight years, and it is possible that it has not been fully in place.
Afterwards, after Mida returned to his own house, he took a few birds that he bought with a lot of money in Meishan County, and quietly visited the door, Mida couldn't put it down after seeing a few birds brought by Qin Dui, he is an old player, and he also knows that these birds are not ordinary at first glance, and the coat color, eyes, and beak shells are different from common ornamental birds, even in the origin of these birds are very rare, and the price is extremely expensive.
After chatting for a while, Qin Du politely said goodbye, and asked Mida to help more in the progress of the matter, Mida agreed, anyway, this is the emperor's majesty decided, as a favor, why not do it.
The next thing was a matter of course, and after Qin Duan took care of the specific personnel of the household department, the next afternoon, the financial problem was over. All that remains is to talk to Ho Ching-long, the cabinet minister in charge of home affairs, about immigration.
When Qin Dui completed the relevant procedures in the household department, it was almost time for dinner, Qin Dui returned to the Wei Mansion and did not go to Yixianglou, after all, if he stayed in Yixianglou for a long time, he would expose his identity, and for Qin Dui, who is now an imperial hero, he still cares about his image.
As for Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun, of course, as well as their two maids, Xiaolu and Xiaozi, have all been taken to Wei Zhongxian's mansion. In addition to the imperial palace and a few individual palaces in the capital, this Wei Zhongxian's mansion is the safest.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the Wei Mansion, Qin Dui had not yet come and got off the car, and more than a dozen reporters came to interview, and it turned out that many reporters went to the Tokugawa Mansion to interview him, but they were all rejected by Qin Dui, and now that Qin Dui returned to the capital, these reporters with a keen sense of smell immediately got the news, and flocked to it, and there was a great tendency that they would not give up if they did not accept the interview. Seeing that the situation was not right, Qin Du's guards hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, but these reporters were all experienced in a hundred battles and had already had a way to deal with it, so they ignored the dissuasion of the guards and rushed forward desperately, and their professionalism was really admirable.
