"Three provinces, this is not a long-term arrangement, but a short-term emergency. Jiang Feng could understand the other party's annoyance.

The three provinces are Du Tuo's words, named Analects, which also shows that Du Tuo is a person who often reflects on himself, and is a character who is both principled and flexible, as long as he can understand the other party, Chen Wei is easier to do.

As soon as it became clear that the other party was in charge of Hucao, that is, he wanted to carry out a comprehensive combing and rectification of the wealth of the entire Huaiyou (Wuning) Kyushu (Xuzhou, Shouzhou, Sizhou, Luzhou, Yanzhou, Huzhou, Guangzhou, Haozhou, Yizhou).

It seems that the jurisdiction of the two major festivals of Huaiyou and Wuning is a big stall across the Huaishui, but in fact, Jiang Feng knows that this is a real mess, it can be said that except for the two states of Hushou that can now be regarded as the pillars, the others are all and skin, and they can't be put on the table.

The two states of Hushou also relied on their own method of forcibly promoting land inspection at the beginning, plus there were no military disasters and wars for three consecutive years, and even the bandits were cleaned up, and then the gentry and big households in the two states of Hushou reclaimed the land, and the irrigation canals were still good, so the grain harvest for two consecutive years, as well as the comprehensive development of the kiln in Nashouzhou, only supported this stall, otherwise, why did the Huaiyou Army dare to compete with Li Yu? Why did it go north to Xuzhou?

"Your Majesty, whether it is a short-term emergency or a long-term strategy, it is not advisable. Du Tuo was unceremonious, "If there is no salt profit, the Huaibei Prefectures will have no money and silver to support at all, and where will the salaries of officials and daily expenses come from? ”

Jiang Feng understood Du Tuo's voice, this was Chen Wei standing up before supporting the other party, it seemed that the two of them had a tacit understanding, and they would actually cooperate with each other to teach themselves a lesson.

Chen Wei has always been the most supportive of the development of agriculture, and the most fundamental development of agriculture in this era is to build water conservancy, so Chen Wei has always advocated that after occupying Xuzhou, you need to recuperate, first build the water conservancy irrigation canal, as long as God can give Huaibei Yanyun a chance to breathe for two years, the wind and rain are smooth, there is no military disaster and war, and Huaibei Yanyun can become a granary in the north.

There are many rivers and streams in Huainan Yuanxu, and the construction of water conservancy can make Huainan build a granary, and the land of Huaibei, whether it is Zhu Mao or Shi Yu, they have abandoned the water conservancy irrigation canal like a step, and have been in disrepair for many years, the situation in Sizhou is slightly better, but Xuzhou is much worse, not to mention the three states of Yanyun Yi, there is a slight drought and flood, these three states are the big ones who go out to flee the famine.

"Your Majesty, I think what the three provinces said is reasonable. Chen Wei couldn't help it, although he knew some of Jiang Feng's thoughts, but as the first political department to participate in politics, it was also his greatest wish to realize his ambitions, and he had to take this opportunity, of course, he had to shirk it, "At present, there are many victims in Yanyun Yi Sanzhou, although there is Huainan grain relief, but this is not a good prescription, this displaced people are all over the place, how to eliminate instability, I think that work for relief is the best way, to help it with grain, but it is necessary to obey the arrangements of the government, build irrigation canals, and get a strong day, which can provide food for three people a day,...... ”

"I know what you two mean, but it doesn't conflict with the quality of Haizhou's salt tax on Sogdian merchants. Jiang Feng said patiently.

"How can there be no conflict? These millions of hungry people, seeing that there is no harvest of autumn grain, must immediately arrange for most of them to return to their hometowns, and then prepare for next year's spring ploughing, this kind of seeds, cattle and horses, ploughing tools, and even some winter clothes, all need to be raised, all need money and grain, I and the three provinces originally planned to negotiate with the salt merchants of Xuzhou and Shouzhou and Luzhou, and use the salt tax and monopoly rights for one year as an offset, and borrow money and silver to provide relief for the victims of the three prefectures of Yanyun and Yi, but if the king mortgages them to the Sogdian merchants, how can we wait?"

Chen Wei naturally knew that Jiang Feng wanted to pledge the salt tax and franchise to the Sogdian merchants, so it would not be possible to get it back in a year or two, and the money and silver obtained would definitely not be used for the needs of the government office, it would be used for the army, which would almost cut off half of the income of the entire Huaiyou (Wuning), how could this work?

Standing from different angles, considering the problem is naturally different, Jiang Feng can understand, but he will not change his decision.

It's just how to convince the two, but Jiang Feng is a little hesitant.

The government department also knows a little about military affairs, but how deep it is, it may not be, which is also the reason for the separation between civil and military.

According to Jiang Feng's assumption, in the future, Huaiyou (Wuning) will establish a budget mechanism, that is to say, the government affairs department should put forward an approximate budget demand every year, especially for the army's demand to make a rough budget, of course, this may be difficult, because the army's demand will change at any time, and it will only grow and not shrink, and it is easy to disrupt the entire budget, but this should be a trend, and when necessary, other means can only be used to make up for the budget shortage.

"Ziliang, Sanxing, I know that this decision is difficult, and even I myself have hesitated several times, but in the end I still made this decision. Jiang Feng stood up, put his hands behind his back, and began to pace in the hall, "I am not a reckless soldier, if I can avoid war to the greatest extent, I am willing, but there are some things that we can't help but consider from the worst angle." ”

"Maybe you all only see the current scenery of Huaiyou, well, Yanyi has been decided, what about Haizhou, maybe go down in one go, the Pinglu army doesn't seem to have the courage to fight us alone, I also think so, and there is Yunzhou, but slowly Tuzhi, anyway, it's not in a hurry. Jiang Feng's words were a little more desolate, "But I don't think so, I don't think we have much time." ”

Chen Wei and Du Tuo were both surprised, they didn't know what Jiang Feng meant by these words, could it be that who was going to wage war against Huaiyou (Wuning)? Daliang, or Pinglu, or Caizhou, Nanyang?

Pinglu can be ignored, and Huaiyou is worthy of it if he doesn't go to the door; Caizhou? Caizhou, which has just swallowed the two states of Yingbo, has not yet stabilized the situation in the two states of Yingbo, and if it were not for the fact that Daliang had to retreat his army north because he had to deal with Hedong, the Yuan clan would not even be able to breathe, so how could he take the initiative to start a war with Huaiyou?

Nanyang occupied Gwangju, but did not dare to enter Huzhou again, which also shows that the other party is also the first rat at both ends, it is impossible to have such great courage, and the current Huaiyou is not the weak person who only had Huzhou in the past.

Then there is only the big beam, but is it possible? It's impossible to think about it, it's enough to deal with the people of Shatuo in Hedong, and it's too late to win over Huaiyou, otherwise it wouldn't have just asked for some money and silver and quit Xuzhou.

Seeing the puzzled look in the eyes of the two, Jiang Feng didn't go around in circles anymore, and said directly: "I judge that within three years, the possibility that the Hu people will go south in the overall situation is very high, and I am afraid that it will directly impact our Huaiyou (Wuning)." ”

Du Tuo was more sensitive, and immediately said: "Hu people, are they Shatuo people, or Khitan people? Or is the king worried that the party will not succeed?"

"Both. Jiang Feng replied: "Maybe you also know some information, in the first half of the year we purchased a large number of war horses through Sogdian merchants, and a considerable part of them came from the Great Liang, and I am talking about coming directly from the Great Liang army, not through the Great Liang. ”

The two of them were originally a little ignorant, but after Jiang Feng emphasized it, they changed color a little.

"What does this mean? It means that the interior of the Great Liang Army has been rotten to an amazing situation, but it has not yet been fully exposed, I am worried that this large-scale attack by the Hedong Shatuo people may expose the weakness of the Great Liang, once the powerful surface of the Great Liang is torn, what may happen?"

Jiang Feng's voice already had a bit of a sinister taste, which made people shudder.

"The real Liang was pierced by the Shatuo people, and I am afraid that the Khitans in the north will also be stimulated. The three towns of Heshuo originally relied on the support of the Liang to maintain the resistance to the Khitans, but in fact it was already a little unsustainable, the herdsmen of the Khitan have been moving south in a big way in recent years, and the Lu Longjun and the Chengde army have been forbearance in order to avoid fighting with the Khitans, or to avoid being found by the Khitans to find an excuse to make trouble, but this has stimulated the Khitan nobles to drive the poor Khitan herdsmen to the south to seize the land, to find an excuse to start a war is too simple, how can you avoid it by forbearance, Liu Shouguang and Zhang are a bunch of fools, such as holding on to the salary to fight the fire, feeding the tiger with their bodies, how can they not die？”

was a little shocked by Jiang Feng's categorical assertion, and Chen Wei and Du Tuo couldn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that within three years, the Shatuo people, no, and the Khitans will all go south?" Du Tuo couldn't help it.

"The possibility is very high, if the Shatuo people's attack on Daliang wins this year, Daliang will be absolutely dangerous next year, and when Daliang is unable to support the three towns of Heshuo, will the Khitans wait and see what happens?" Jiang Feng said lightly: "This has not considered the roles like Nanyang and Caizhou, who may be able to insert a knife in the back of Daliang at any time." ”

"In this case, Nanyang and Caizhou probably also understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, right?" Chen Wei couldn't help it.

"But Daliang and Hedong have been fighting for decades, and no one thinks that the Shatuo people will be able to defeat Daliang, do you think Nanyang and Caizhou will see it this way? Will they think that they will take a bite while Daliang is now weak? Or, if Hedong takes the initiative to contact Nanyang and Caizhou to ask for three points of the Central Plains? Or even find us, do you think we will refuse?" Jiang Feng raised his head and said slowly.

If Hedong really has the upper hand in the battle against Daliang, he will come to the door again, and even clearly tell Huaiyou that he can carve up the Liang with Caizhou and Nanyang, who can bear it?
