Although Yuan Bolang still wanted to insist, the people behind him had chosen to compromise. The new official took office with three fires, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the fire is even bigger, and no one wants to be affected by this fire. The subsequent agreement is no longer of much significance, but it is only finalized on some details, and the ministers have compromised their attitudes, but their positions will not change, and Liang Zi with Liu Yu is also settled.

The operation of the Commerce and Trade Department is still run by Liu Yu. Because of the change in this court meeting, Yuan Bolang didn't even want to mention the helper's matter, meaning to let Liu Yu solve it by himself.

Originally, Liu Yu planned to propose at the court meeting to let the vassal king enter Chang'an City to congratulate him, but when he thought about it, it was a matter of etiquette, and it was not appropriate for him to mention it. Taking advantage of the dissolution of the court, he mentioned it to Yuan Bolang, Yuan Bolang was annoyed by the affairs of the Commerce and Trade Division, and couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this: "These things, the old man has his own plans, and there is no need for Commander Liu to worry about it." ”

"Master, it seems that you have offended a lot of people."

In the back hall of the Liutai Yamen, Su Yan looked at Liu Yu with a somewhat apologetic gaze and said.

"If they move their cakes, they can't stop them if they want to hold a grudge. After a while, the people from the military department will come to discuss the matter and prepare. ”

"Master, what is a cake?"

The cake is still a Western thing, and it has not yet been introduced to Middle-earth, Liu Yue didn't want to talk nonsense to Su Yan, so he handed Su Yan the border pass report from the Royal Forest Army, and said: "This is the script of the Marquis of Dingguo, and he still insists on going to war." ”

Su Yan felt a headache when he read the words in the notebook, Liu Yu also said before that the imperial court was even stretched thin with money and food for disaster relief, let alone fighting the Turks. Before asking Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, to "do what he can", it seems that Liu Zhao didn't pay much attention to the meaning, but just repeatedly urged the salary.

"Master. Or...... Do you write a letter to persuade the prince? Su Yan asked tentatively.

When did he listen to his son? Today's discussion of military affairs does not include border warfare. Mainly the garrison of Chang'an City. Don't lean too much towards me in terms of attitude, and wait for the results of the discussion to come out before speaking. ”

Soon, Zheng Chang, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, came with people from the Ministry of War, because military affairs and political affairs were separated, so they would also be discussed separately at the court meeting. In the past, the political and military would be carried out by the right minister, but now Yuan Bolang is only responsible for government affairs, and Liu Yu has controlled the military power of Chang'an, and Yuan Bolang cannot intervene. For a long time when the new emperor ascended the throne, military meetings were presided over by Liu Yulai. Neither Subi nor Yuan Bolang will attend.

In fact, the defense of Chang'an City has not changed much, but the original orthodox leader of the Dongshui Battalion was cut due to collusion with the King of Jin.

This proposal was also approved by Liu Yu. If it weren't for Dong Shu, Chang'an City would inevitably have a war, and if there was a war, it would be a disaster.

Originally, Sima was only at the level of deputy general in the battalion, and he was promoted to a general at one time, and he had to command the whole army, Liu Yu was only afraid that this Dong Shu was not enough to take responsibility, so he proposed to transfer people from the Royal Forest Army to help as a deputy general. In this way, Liu Yu can install his cronies by Dong Shu's side. On the one hand, he assisted and supervised on the other hand, and strengthened Liu Yu's control over the Chang'an garrison.

Although the people in the military department knew that Liu Dao was suspected of abusing power. But the new emperor trusted him, and they could only keep their opinions if they had them.

The second motion was put forward by Liu Yu, to integrate the six defense divisions in the city and establish the general defense division yamen.

The division of power in the internal defense department of Chang'an City was originally worried that if it was integrated, it would form a situation that would restrict the strength of the Imperial Forest Army and form a situation of division and resistance. Now that Liu Yu proposed to set up the Yamen of the General Defense Division, the people in the military department had a lot of opinions, believing that this would be detrimental to the garrison of Chang'an City.

Liu Yue is out of consideration for strengthening control, and the defense in the city can be said to be scattered, and the quality of the soldiers of the Sixth Defense Division is uneven, and there is no unified deployment itself. On the one hand, Liu Yu wanted to integrate them, and more importantly, he wanted to firmly control the defense of the city in his own hands. Now Su Yan, the emperor, is very weak in all aspects, relying on the support of Liu Yu and Su Bi, and Liu Yu and Su Bi's power is limited after all, and now Liu Yu is more afraid of the rise of the right faction. There is also the threat of Qian Hui and the King of Chu to the new emperor's throne.

Zheng Chang still has an opinion. Liu Yu said: "Zheng Shangshu, the yamen of the general defense department in the city is just an expedient measure, and when the situation in Chang'an City is calm down in the coming year, the yamen of the general defense department will be removed, and it will not form a situation in the defense of Chang'an City." ”

Zheng Chang asked: "What do you mean, General Forward, who will take the post of President of the Yamen of the General Defense Division?" ”

In order not to arouse the criticism of Zheng Chang and the people in the military department for his unauthorized power, and in order to balance the situation, Liu Yu said: "It is better to have no presidential leaders in the Yamen of the General Defense Department, but only two commanders, and check each other." The first commander, the general, proposed that Hu Chaozhong, the squire of the military department, should serve as the commander, and the other commander should choose one from the six lieutenants of the original six defense divisions. ”

Liu Yu's proposal balanced the power of the Yamen of the General Defense Division, making the Ministry of War think that he had half of the control in the General Defense Division, and Liu Yu did not say that he would seize the power of the General Defense Division, but only said that the other commander would choose the best from the six lieutenants. This reduced the opposition of Zheng Chang and others a lot, and after the agreement, the Yamen of the General Defense Department, which was originally difficult to achieve, also decided on this.

The people in the Ministry of War thought that the Internal Defense Department controlled most of the power, but Liu Yu was obviously playing "clever". Liu Yu proposed to take Hu Chaozhong, the squire of the Ministry of War, as one of the commanders of the General Defense Department, which seemed to be handing over power to the Ministry of War, but Hu Chaozhong was Hu Xuan's father, because Hu Xuan was not visible now, and the people in the military department had no way of knowing about it, only the parties knew it. And "merit-based admission" sounds good, but who is the examiner, not Liu Yu? creates a false impression of legitimate competition, and the final decision is still in Liu Yu's hands. The people who went to the military department will have a good time in the future, and the matter is a foregone conclusion.

The matter of the Yamen of the General Defense Department was negotiated, and Liu Yu again proposed the matter of conscription.

Liu Yue's idea of conscription was caused by Qu Zhu's previous words. Qu Zhu said that there is a great drought outside Chang'an City, and as long as the hard-hit areas are given a mouthful of food, the victims will even sell their sons. Liu Yudang even remembered to recruit troops in the Guanzhong area. First, the border war caused more than half of the garrison troops and regimental training around Chang'an City to be transferred, and the soldiers were nervous; Moreover, the money and food for disaster relief could not support the idlers, and Liu Yu also wanted to cultivate an army that was completely loyal to him.

Conscription takes place almost every year. There was no objection from the military department. There are only some opinions on the way in which this new army is formed. Zheng Chang believed that it was not appropriate to dispatch in the army, and it was more suitable to let the people of the Dongshui Battalion and the Nanda Battalion recruit themselves to make up the quota of soldiers. Liu Yu advocated that the new army must be independent and that the combat effectiveness of the Nanda Battalion and the Dongshui Battalion should not be weakened by shoddy quality.

Now that the major forces in Chang'an City have been reshuffled, as long as they are not under the command of the fourth princess, most of the courtiers have chosen to stand on the side of Yuan Bolang, the right minister, and Zheng Chang is also one of them, after hearing Liu Yu's proposal, with a suspicion, he asked: "Is the forward general going to build a new army?" Chang'an City is surrounded by Nandaying and Dongshuiying. Isn't it enough to defend Chang'an City? ”

"The general's intention is not to set up an army, but to set up a local regimental training, which will be gathered in wartime, and the annual agricultural and leisure gathering and drilling, and all regulations will be the same as the regimental training. Soldiers are also not stationed in the army for many years. Liu Yu explained.

Hearing that it was a group exercise, Zheng Chang felt that it was a bit of a fuss, and he thought that Liu Yu was going to build a "Liu Family Army". Since it was just a group exercise, he didn't want to grudge against Liu Yu, after all, Liu Yu was now very powerful. He now has to share the same position with Yuan Bolang, but also maintain peace with Liu Yu. Otherwise, both sides will jeopardize his position.

Zheng Chang believed that since it was a conscription, the people from the military department should be in charge, while Liu Yu wanted Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu to be in charge of the formation and training of the new army.

The two battalions outside Chang'an City are intertwined, and they want to promote two people who have no prestige to command the whole army, which will not only fail to convince the public and have many obstacles in deployment, but will also make others think that Liu Yue is in power. And Liu Yu can only call on Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu outside Chang'an City, and they will form a new army, which is hard work, and the combat effectiveness of the new army itself is weak, so it will not arouse too much opposition from the right faction.

"Conscription should be carried out in conjunction with disaster relief." Liu Yu said later, "Whoever is selected for the new army will not only be provided with rations by the imperial court, but also rice for their families to live on, which is more than the rations of ordinary disaster victims, so that more people will enthusiastically join the army." ”

The people in the military department did not raise any objections on this issue, and the military meeting ended in a one-man show by Liu Yu.

…………

At the end of the court meeting, Liu Yu was not only responsible for the overall coordination of the garrison and defense of Chang'an City, but also responsible for the establishment of the Department of Commerce and Trade in government affairs. In the afternoon, Liu Yu went to see Han Sheng and wanted to ask for the help of an old friend.

Han Sheng was still leisurely and complacent, and didn't say anything about helping, but he gave Liu Yu a proposal, since he didn't have manpower, he would directly find a businessman to be a helper, anyway, in the end, the Commerce and Trade Department was also responsible for the businessman.

"If you don't have the right candidate, I can introduce you to a few." Han Sheng said with a smile.

Wake up Liu Yu with a word, although Liu Yu does not know many businessmen, but there is a very capable businessman - Sui Yu, the actual person in charge of the Sui family's big and small businesses.

"Brother Han is really condescending if he is not the prime minister." Liu Yu smiled and complimented, "As for the candidates, there are suitable ones below, don't worry about Brother Han." ”

After seeing Han Sheng in a hurry, Liu Yu hurriedly went to Sui Yu to discuss the matter.

When I went to Yuelaiju, I was told by the guy that the owner went to the Qianfeng General's Mansion, and Liu Yubai ran away.

When he returned home, Xu Xuanzhu was discussing with Sui Yu about buying land and land, and the court officials' salaries were cut, but the generals' salaries were not deducted at all. Since Xu Xuanzhu became a housewife, he has been like a landlord's wife, and the first thing he did when he got the money was to turn it into a fixed property.

The water conservancy around Chang'an City is developed, and it is basically not affected by the drought, but due to the surrounding drought, the land price has also dropped again and again.

Seeing Liu Yu, Sui Yu was still at a loss like a little daughter. When she heard Liu Yu mention the establishment of the Commerce and Trade Division, Sui Yu regained the wisdom that a great businessman should have: "General Liu, I don't know that the young eunuch of the Commerce and Trade Department is determined by the amount of money donated? ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Since it is a traitor, it is naturally so." ”

Sui Yu immediately said: "Is that a limit, the young eunuch of the Commerce and Trade Department must be a man?" ”

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, he understood what Sui Yu meant. The young eunuch of the Commerce and Trade Division, speaking of which, is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and as the person in charge of the family of the great merchants in Chang'an City, Sui Yu naturally does not want to miss it.
