Chapter 319: What Should Be Gone Must Go

"Does the imperial brother have any other concerns?" Seeing that Ji Wen was a little hesitant, Ji Qingchen in the main hall asked. In fact, he had already thought of what Ji Wen was hesitating about, but he didn't break it, but asked knowingly.

"Nope!" Ji Wen didn't admit his worries, but moved his gaze to Ji Hongchang and said, "The ninth brother's idea is good, I am just worried about whether the third brother is willing to go to Ningzhou." ”

In fact, Ji Wen didn't say this, he knew that Ji Qingchen opened Ji Hongchang because he was afraid that Ji Hongchang and Ji Ping would be in King's Landing at the same time, if he was not in Jun's time, the two would be unfavorable to Ji Wen, and now Ji Qingchen suggested that Ji Hongchang lead the troops north to Ningzhou, as long as Ji Hongchang agreed, there would be one Ji Ping left in King's Landing City, and it was not very difficult for him to deal with it.

"Dayan is attacked on three sides, and it is in danger, as a disciple of the Dayan royal family, it is incumbent on him!" Ji Hongchang came out and said. Just like Ji Qingchen's suggestion that he openly proposed that Ji Hongchang lead his troops north at the court meeting in the main hall, even if Ji Hongchang opposed it, because this was to deal with Dayan's enemies, it was incumbent on everyone to save Dayan from fire and water, not to mention that he was still the Prince of Dayan?

"Since the third brother is willing, I will appoint the third brother to supervise the army in Ningzhou as the Privy Councillor, and deal with the strong enemy together with the Zhenbei general Bai Xiangcheng." Ji Wen said loudly.

At first, he was not used to the feeling of sitting high on the Tai Chi Hall, but now he is slowly getting used to it.

"As for the war against the Lingnan Yi clan in the south, it will be handed over to the ninth brother!" Ji Wen continued. Since Ji Qingchen is willing to go south, he will not stay. Anyway, there is already a Ji Hongchang left, even if there is another Ji Ping, he is not very afraid, so why should he leave Ji Qingchen in King's Landing City? With Ji Qingchen's ability, if he went south to Jinzhou to deal with the Lingnan Yi clan, the southern states of Dayan would be safe and sound, so why wouldn't he do it?

"Your Majesty, when the army travels, grain and grass are the key, but now that the treasury is empty, it is difficult to supply the millions of troops!" The person who spoke was Tang Jian, the head of the household department, he was Ji Wen's person, and Ji Wen, as the prince in charge of the household department in the four kings' discussions, naturally knew the details of the treasury.

Therefore, as soon as Tang Jian talked about the emptiness of the treasury, he began to make trouble.

Three years ago, Dayan poured all his national strength into a battle with Beirong and eliminated Beirong, a strong enemy, but it also exhausted the silver money in Dayan's treasury. After three years of accumulation, I have some savings, but Emperor Yan died, and it cost a sum of money to repair his mausoleum, and now I want to supply the food and salary needed by the millions of troops, I am afraid it is difficult.

Thinking of this, Ji Wen was in trouble for a while, so he moved his gaze to Prime Minister Pei Wenju and asked, "What can the Prime Minister do?" ”

Pei Wenju is Ji Wen's confidant, and he will always think about it from Ji Wen's point of view, and now that Ji Wen asks, he pondered a little and said, "This year's grain tax has not yet received from the national treasury, and it may be difficult to use it as a food fund, and the only way is to raise money from the family." ”

When Pei Wenju said this, he bowed and said to Ji Wen, "On behalf of Pei's family, Weichen is willing to donate 1 million yuan and 300,000 stones of rice to the army." ”

After Pei Wenju finished speaking, the hall suddenly became silent.

Because everyone didn't expect that Pei Wenju said in the previous sentence that he would raise money from the family, and he would come to such a hand quietly!

This made the ministers in the main hall not react for a while, and they were completely stunned!

And just when everyone was stunned, they suddenly heard Wang You, the secretary of the ministry, come out and say, "Prime Minister Gao Feng Liang Festival, Wang You admires!" His Majesty, on behalf of the Wang family, Weichen was willing to donate 1 million guan of money and 300,000 stones of rice for the army. ”

After Wang You said this, the ministers in the hall reacted immediately, and immediately went out to tell Ji Wen that he was also willing to donate money and rice.

Suddenly, because Pei Wenju and Wang You took the lead, the ministers in the main hall wanted to leave a good influence on the new monarch Ji Wen, so they donated money and food one after another.

In just a few moments, the money and food that the millions of troops could not use in a year were donated like this!

Pei Wenju and Wang You are the heads of one of the seven great families, and they are the foundation of Dayan Sheji, they don't pay a million yuan of silver and 300,000 stone rice, but they can't give more, because they have more, it has no impact on their wealthy big families, but it has an impact on the small family, because they have too much money, the small family can't be too stingy, and they must keep up with their rhythm, but how can the small family be as rich as them.

Therefore, Pei Wenju's one million yuan and 300,000 stone rice are no more and no less, just right!

Seeing that the food and salary supply needed by the army was solved, Xinjun Jiwen felt a lot more comfortable, and the smile on his face was a little more. He has just ascended the throne now, and he has not yet learned the art of kingship, and everything he thinks in his heart will be revealed on his face.

Ji Qingchen in the main hall had been worried about the army's money and food before, so he would make a deal with the Shangzhou Wei family, but he didn't expect Pei Wenju to come up with such a way to solve the cost of a million troops for a year at once.

But he felt that this war could not be ended in a short time, at least three or five years, and at most it might take ten years. Because this time the country sent 400,000 troops, the Lingnan Yi tribe sent 300,000 troops, the Xishu sent 200,000 troops, and the Three Kingdoms sent a total of 900,000 troops is not a joke, and it will definitely be endless.

Therefore, it is not enough to solve the one-year salary, and it is still necessary to consider the problem of three or five years, so he said, "I don't know what the Marquis of Lu Dao Jin thinks of this war?" ”

He didn't directly say that the money and food were not enough, but asked the question from the side.

"I am afraid that it will be difficult to solve the Three Kingdoms problem without three or five years!" Bai Jin said concisely, as the first person in the Dayan military, no one would doubt what he said. As soon as Bai Jin's voice fell, Li Muzhi also said, "What the Marquis of Jin said is right, how can it be so easy to give up so easily when leaving the country and the Lingnan Yi clan and the Western Shu Three Kingdoms poured 900,000 troops to attack Dayan?" Therefore, we must be prepared for a long-term battle, in addition to supporting the armies of Ningzhou and Jinju this time, we also have to recruit 600,000 troops in case of emergency, and to recruit these 600,000 troops, we need a lot of money and food. ”

Li Muzhi's words were reasonable, and the ministers in the hall all nodded in unison.

Because everyone knows very well that the three countries will definitely not give up if they send 900,000 troops, maybe they will continue to increase troops to Dayan, especially the Liguo and Lingnan Yi tribes, both countries are not short of elite soldiers, and it will not be a problem for the two countries to increase their troops by another 200,000 or 300,000.

Therefore, it is necessary for Dayan to recruit 600,000 troops in case of emergency.

Everyone agreed with Li Muzhi's suggestion to recruit troops, but when it came to the issue of money and food, they had no choice. It is their duty to donate money and food to Dayan, but most of the ministers' families in the main hall are not rich, and they have already donated once, and it will be beyond their ability to donate again.

"The prime minister said that the method is good, you can raise money from the family, we can give them a few points of interest, but this is how to support the two million army for several years, I'm afraid it's not enough!" Tang Jian sighed.

He was not only talking about the one million army that was fighting and the 600,000 new troops that were about to be recruited, but also the army that was guarding the states of Dayan, because this part of the army also needed money and food.

Seeing that everyone was at a loss for this, Ji Qingchen in the main hall smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Huanghuang, this problem is difficult to solve!" ”

"Oh-" Ji Wen saw that Ji Qingchen was confident, so he asked excitedly, "What can the ninth brother do?" ”

"The big war is coming, Shangzhou Wei is willing to hand over half of the property to Dayan, so that Dayan can tide over the difficulties!" Ji Qingchen said in a flat tone.

But as soon as his words fell, the hall exploded like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Shangzhou Wei's is also one of the seven great families of Dayan, and now he takes the initiative to donate half of his family property, with the wealth of Shangzhou Wei, as long as he donates half of his family property, even if Dayan recruits another one million troops, it will not be a problem to fight with the Three Kingdoms for another three or five years! What surprised them was not that Shangzhou Wei was willing to give up half of his property, but that he was willing to give half of his property.

"Is what His Highness the Ninth said true?" Pei Wenju was the first to react and asked.

If Shangzhou Wei is really willing to donate half of his family property, then there will be military spending, and he will not have to bother as the prime minister.

And Bai Jin and Li Muzhi on the side had already let Jian and the others also move their surprised eyes to Ji Qingchen, I don't know what means Ji Qingchen used to make Shangzhou Wei make such a big concession.

Or did Ji Wen ask, "What do they want?" ”

Even if Ji Wen is not as good as Ji Qingchen in terms of power and strategy, as soon as Ji Qingchen said that Shangzhou Wei's was willing to give half of his family property, he knew that there must be conditions here, and Shangzhou Wei's would not give half of his family property to Dayan for no reason.

"Their request is very simple, that is, to recall Ji Zhao, who is a vassal in Suzhou, let him live in King's Landing City, and don't let him be a vassal state again!" Ji Qingchen said lightly.

The agreement he reached with the crown princess and Wei Ran was to ensure Ji Zhao's safety, how could he ensure Ji Zhao's safety? Only by summoning Ji Zhao back to King's Landing City and keeping him under control of his power can Ji Zhao not be in danger of his life. Of course, even if Ji Zhao is recalled to King's Landing, Ji Zhao still has the right to manage Suzhou, and he still has to lead the military affairs of Suzhou from afar, which is the bottom line of the crown princess and Wei Ran.

In fact, Ji Wen ascended the throne, solved Ji Zhao, and got along with Ji Qingchen's full strength, people like the crown princess and Ji Zhao no longer have the ability to threaten him.

Therefore, when Ji Qingchen said this, he agreed without thinking about it.

After all, compared with half of the Wei's family property in Shangzhou, Ji Zhao is in great danger, and he is willing to take this risk.

As for the ministers in the main hall, they didn't care about Shangzhou Wei's family and the crown princess and Ji Zhao at all, as long as someone donated money and didn't let them pay again, they would be very happy, so seeing that Ji Wen agreed, they had no opinion.

In just a few words, Ji Qingchen solved the problem of the crown princess and Ji Zhao, and also raised money and food for Dayan to fight against the Three Kingdoms for ten years without worrying, so that the ministers in the hall once again saw the means of the King of Northern Liao!

Insidious, ruthless, unscrupulous to achieve the goal!
