In the quiet of February, when the earth warmed up and the spring flowers were blooming, the arrival of this snow seemed to interrupt the joyful things. Although such weather is not as cold as winter, it undoubtedly adds a bit of frustration and chagrin to people who have just shed a layer of cotton clothing.

But there is no lack of snow lovers love it, quietly the snow falls, push open the door, marvel at but also a little more joy, it seems to be the comfort of the lack of snow in the past winter.

Emperor Jin Yuan ordered people to prepare a stove, preparing to take the school examination of the prince and the rest of the princes, as Emperor Jin Yuan, he did not take the school examination during this time, and he had a lot of fun watching them play every day, so he had to test them!

A group of princes and Sima Shao stood aside respectfully, waiting for Emperor Jin Yuan's school exam.

Emperor Jin Yuan will randomly check the prince's homework every time, sometimes it is the Four Books and Five Classics, sometimes it is some allusions, sometimes it is the opinion of some policies, the time is random, the place is random, the questions are random, there is no reward for good grades, and those with poor grades will be punished, anyway, Sima Shao doesn't like this kind of school exam.

"King Yan asks for help, I hope we can send troops to quell the rebellion in their country, this issue has been discussed by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War for a while without any results, what do you and all the children think?"

The country of Yan has not perished, although this small country is not honest, but it has not gone too far, so it has been left alone, but last year there was a rebellion in the country, which has not been quelled, and it has been fought for more than a year, and the king of Yan can't solve it, and now the nearby Liang country has friction with it at every turn.

That's right, so I asked my boss to help!

"Father, what's so difficult about this question? Since it is a vassal country, directly send troops to help Yan State quell the rebellion! ”

“……”

At this time, the military department Shangshu touched his beard: "You princes don't know, the problem of this Yan State is that if you send troops to help Yan State quell the rebellion, after the Yan State is stable, there will be some conflicts with our army at the border pass from time to time, and some other surrounding vassal states will also ......

To put it bluntly, it's this Yan Kingdom, it's honest because I'm scared of being beaten by the Great Jin, but this guy is fine, he will still come to tease twice, and then be honest, but yes, this guy can't beat the Great Jin Kingdom, he is a good baby here, and he has nothing to do and be bullied by other vassal states of the Great Jin Kingdom at every turn, and often come to complain from time to time, which makes Emperor Jin Yuan a little impatient!

"And what if you don't help?"

"As a big country, if you don't help the vassal country deal with civil strife, other countries may have different intentions, and the current king of Yan ......"

The question is raised, and it depends on how Sima Shao and the rest of the princes answer this question.

The third child was the most excited: "Father, Erchen thinks, let Erchen lead the troops, enter the Yan Kingdom, and solve the rebels of the Yan Kingdom!" The problem is solved! ”

“……”

Everyone knows that the third prince wants to be a military general, if it is really so simple, he still needs to discuss it for so long?

Sima Shao didn't speak, the sixth child was secretly eating meat skewers, no one cared about him, he was too young, this kind of school exam, he could answer if he wanted to, and if he didn't want to answer, he was a mascot.

"Father, my son, I think it may be a little inappropriate for us to directly send troops to Yan State, but we can let the border army assist the Yan State army to eliminate the rebels......"

"Erchen thinks that if Yan Guo is willing to provide grain and grass, he can send troops to Yan State, which is just right to mobilize some new troops and maintain combat effectiveness......"

“……”

After the princes finished speaking, Emperor Jin Yuan just touched his beard and did not continue to speak, and finally everyone's eyes looked at Sima Shao.

I saw Sima Shao pinching his chin with one hand and the back of his back with the other, and when he found that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he came back to his senses unhurriedly and thought for a while.

"Father, the son thinks that if the person who raised the problem is solved, then there will be no problem!"

“……”

“……”

“……”

"Rebel!"

Emperor Jin Yuan was choked by Sima Shao's words, but the eyes of the military department Shangshu lit up, touched his beard, nodded, looked at the Hubu Shangshu beside him and asked in a low voice: "Lord Wang, what do you think of the prince's words!" ”

“……”

Seeing that Emperor Jin Yuan seemed to be ready to reproach Sima Shao, the military department Shangshu smiled and arched his hand at Emperor Jin Yuan: "Your Majesty, I am very lucky!" Your Highness said yes. ”

Emperor Jin Yuan was originally angry with Sima Shao, but after hearing the words of the military department, he looked over with some puzzlement: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Your Majesty may not know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means that since the gains and losses of helping Yan Guo to quell the rebellion outweigh the losses, and if you don't help and you don't fulfill the obligations of a great power, it is better to directly let Yan Guo disappear completely, and this problem will be solved?"

“……”

The civil officials looked at the military department book curiously, and they didn't know how the military department book suddenly became a war maniac, and the military generals were all gearing up, one of the ancestral systems of the Great Jin State was that non-military merits could not be crowned!

"Your Majesty, no, the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, although there has been no war in our dynasty for many years, but the border conflict has been constantly ,......"

Hubu Shangshu said for a long time, and finally it can be summed up in a few words, Hubu - no money!

"Fighting a war costs money, and it can make money!"

After Sima Shao finished speaking, he spread his hands helplessly, who said that the war cost money, maybe Sima Shao's era was a war that burned money, and the pension for aircraft, artillery, artillery and shells was a huge amount of money, but in this era, the cost of fighting a war is much lower!

"I wonder what the prince thinks?"

"Although Yan Country is not a big country, if I remember correctly, but their country is not poor, and the people of their country are not poor, so it's okay to feed the war with war!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not benevolent, the ancients said, if you are warlike, you will die!"

"Then there is the next sentence, forgetting the war will be dangerous! The military expenditure in the early stage is out of the household department, and when the Yan country is destroyed, the money and grain in the treasury of the Yan country will be replenished back to the household department! ”

Hearing Sima Shao's words, the secretary of the military department immediately wanted to stand up, but Sima Shao waved his hand: "The military department also has money, I remember that my father is still building a palace, right, the captured soldiers can be sent to the construction site, and we can also save us from requisitioning farmers, as well as the armor and blades of the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, these things will outweigh the losses, but they can be made into farm tools, kitchen knives, etc......

"This is not counting the abundance of horses, mink and other things in Yan Country, how do you look at this battle and not lose money, I don't know what you think?"

Sima Shao sorted out his views a little.

"This ......"

"However, there is also a cost for these things to be transported back, and these costs are ......."

"You can contract it out, it's not that there are merchants who go to other provinces and foreign countries, find them cheaper and sell them to them, they will ship it back, there is a profit, this group of people can do everything......"
