Chapter 145: Preparing for Quartermasters

Nalan Hong put on his gentle disguise again, after all, he listened too much to Mo Yi's arrangement at the beginning, Mo Yi is indeed very intelligent, but that person clearly sees the lively elements more than thinking about Bei Yan, and he will not really give him advice at all, so this time, he didn't plan to inform Mo Yi at all.

"Qi Hui, then how much time do you think Beiyan has to prepare for it?"

Qi Hui thought about it for a long time, and Nalan Hong was not in a hurry at all and did not bother in any way.

"Your Royal Highness, my subordinates feel that if the Seven Princes' Mansion is only banning the Eighth Princess, there should also be a wait-and-see attitude, to find a suitable reason to send troops, to obtain the recognition of the Xiling Monarch on the face, it is not so simple, conservative estimates, we should have three months left.

Of course, this is the most undesirable situation, since His Royal Highness's guards have not passed on anything unusual about the Xiling Seven Princes' Mansion before, then Dugu Zhan circled the eighth princess this time for fear that it was more of a temporary idea, and then decided to declare war on Your Highness, so if you analyze it, Dugu Zhan actually decided in a hurry.

This should also give Bei Yan a moment to breathe, but Your Highness, you have to discuss it with Your Majesty now, and prepare for the battle as quickly as possible. ”

Nalan Hong smiled and patted Qi Hui's shoulder: "He is worthy of being the number one strategist in the hands of His Royal Highness." ”

Qi Hui was also very proud in her heart, His Royal Highness the Prince's affirmation was not so easy to get.

"His Royal Highness Xie praised, and his subordinates will definitely assist His Highness wholeheartedly."

Nalan Hong didn't delay, and went directly to the imperial study to find Nalan Xiong: "Your Majesty, your son has something to do." ”

Nalan Xiong saw that Nalan Hong's expression was so serious, so he put down the fold in his hand: "It's Hong'er, come here, watch the tea seat." ”

Nalan Hong sat down after returning the salute, I was afraid that he would not be able to leave this imperial study for an hour or two, so why should he sit and stand stupidly: "Your Majesty, Erchen came this time to ask how Beiyan is preparing for the battle now." ”

Nalan Xiong raised his eyebrows: "What kind of report did Hong'er receive?" ”

Nalan Hong nodded, but he was not in a hurry to say more.

Nalan Xiong touched his beard before he said, "Hong'er, Beiyan's current reserves, if there is a war, even if the maximum utilization rate is started, it can only last for three months.

Beiyan has too much land to cultivate, and it is difficult to meet the needs of fighting a protracted war with grain and grass alone.

Beiyan and Xiling have been standing side by side for so long, Xiling naturally knows Beiyan's weaknesses, Beiyan can do assault warfare, after all, Beiyan's folk customs are fierce, even if a random man is pulled on the street, he can fight with people.

But Xiling is clearly prepared to fight now, and must be ready to fight a protracted war with Beiyan, in fact, even if Xiling is really willing to abide by the peace agreement and wait for four years, the grain, grass and weapons that Beiyan has put together cannot catch up with Xiling's weight. ”

Nalan Hong's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty! Erchen felt that what the emperor said was very reasonable, since whenever there was a war, if this front was stretched, it must be Beiyan who suffered, so why don't we take Xiling by surprise! It will take two to three months to defeat Xiling's morale first!

One is vigorous, two is declining, and three is exhausted. When Beiyan raided this wave of Xiling and was unable to cope with the demoralization failure, the initiative returned to Beiyan at that time. ”

Nalan Xiong was silent for a long time: "Hong'er, you first tell me what kind of information you got, Beiyan has so much grain and grass, if Beiyan can't do it in one go, it will be Beiyan who runs out of food, I need to evaluate whether it has reached that kind of situation where there is no chance of winning if you don't fight back." ”

Nalan Hong told Nalan Xiong about Qi Hui's analysis of the situation for him, and Nalan Xiong frowned: "Hong'er, most of these are just speculation, even according to speculation, Bei Yan can still make at least three more months of preparation, and when it really comes to the time to fight back, if you have three more months of preparation, Bei Yan's chances of winning can be one more point."

Hong'er rest assured, since Xiling has this preparation, I will definitely take the preparation of military supplies as the most important thing at present, so Hong'er will retreat first. ”

Nalan Hong retreated after saluting, his father's concerns are not unreasonable, it is really difficult to win the battle in three months, since there is still time, then wait a little longer......

Soon, Nalanxiong made a decree to collect all available grain from the growers, and because of the urgency, it was compulsory.

Interested farmers can also get some subsidies, but the Beiyan treasury is not full, the subsidies are pitiful, and a household of ten deniers of grain is only a few pennies, which is naturally a lot of unhappiness.

However, the collector is more willing to meet the unwilling, go up directly to beat it, and then carry the grain away.

The country needs you, do you dare to do it? Do you really want the country to be ruined? Then give a beating up and give a prelude.

At this moment, the peasant households were full of complaints, and all the grain on the market disappeared all at once, leaving only some grain that was not used as military food, and the price suddenly rose several times!

The price is high, there are fewer people who can afford it, and there is a famine in many places, but so what, now Nalanxiong only needs to ensure that the soldiers have the strength to fight.

Nalan Xiong issued another decree, the commercial tax was increased by two percent, and those merchants who sold at a higher price before thought that they had earned it, and the more they made now, the more taxes they paid.

And don't want to say hello to the officials you know well, you can avoid it, and if you dare to evade taxes, then you will directly copy the house, and if you don't have mercy, all the property will be handed over to the treasury and the treasury will be filled.

With one or two precedents, others can only obediently pay their taxes.

But in such a situation, commercial and agricultural affairs are chaotic, and many people have noticed that something is wrong, and they are afraid that they will go to war!

Nalan Xiong, who has been a bad guy twice, posted a statement again, saying that it is indeed necessary to prepare for the war, Xiling has always been eyeing Beiyan, so he levied grain, but later because the merchants took the opportunity to raise prices, the emperor's grace was mighty, and in order to allow more people to buy items at normal prices, he severely punished these merchants.

These policies are only temporary, and when prices return to normal levels, taxes will come down, so please don't panic.

Anyway, if you are a bad person, you have to say that you have a hard time, it is for the interests of the masses, it is a good deed, and everyone must believe that the leader has not abandoned everyone, and stew a pot of chicken soup.

In this way, the strategy prepared by Bai Jin has not yet been staged, Beiyan has already made a mess, and when Bai Jin got the news, the curvature of the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed: "Sure enough, the sky is going to die, let the shadow that is going to replace the silver two over there be ready, and when the fake silver of the Seventh Prince is in place, start acting."

Remember, the replacement should be at the same time, but only let the three cities explode first, and when the most chaotic time comes, two more will explode, so that the people of Beiyan will be completely stunned. ”
