Chapter 288: Plan Ahead

"Xiaoyi, what about later?"

Seeing that Du Yi was speaking brightly, several people in the room couldn't bear to interrupt him, and they didn't stop until his mouth was dry.

"Later, the two sides quit their own troops, although the soldiers invested were not too many, but the tragic battle scene was equally shocking."

"It is said that in the end, only 670 Mongolian cavalry survived, including more than 200 lightly and seriously wounded. And the guards of the Yan King also killed more than 500 warriors."

With the same number of people, more than 500 people died in battle, and more than 2,300 lives of the other party were exchanged, which was definitely a shocking performance.

"Brother Timu, he directly led the army turtle to retreat into Guazhou City, and more than ten days have passed, and the two sides have been peaceful."

In the end, Du Yi was a little regretful.

After all, he is an authentic Xixia person, although he is not a Dangxiang clan, but he has lived in Zhongxing Mansion for generations, and he has passed it on for twenty generations in his life.

It is said that his distant ancestor was also from the Central Plains, and he was also a former anti-king at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

The army was defeated and suffered, and the ancestor of the Du family in Western Xia, who was still in infancy, was escorted all the way to Western Xia by several loyal guards.

Of course, at that time, there was no shadow of Western Xia, and there was no Zhongxing Mansion, but it was called Lingzhou.

"I didn't expect that the army under the command of King Yan is so terrifying, I hope it's just that King Yan's guards are like this, if even the 30,000 'Dunwu Army' are just as brave, I'm afraid it won't be a blessing for Great Xia."

"Vulture" Wei Chixuan said leisurely after listening.

"Senior brother, what should we do about what the Emperor told us? Are we going to do that or not?"

The "Open Tablet Palm" Red on the side heard the senior brother say this, and couldn't help but ask.

Li Zunwei, the emperor of Western Xia, asked them to find out the cause of Li Dewang's death after they went to Zhongxing Mansion.

If it was really the new Emperor Li Li's doing, they would take out the Emperor's seal and edict to inform the Western Xia civil and military officials, appoint the "Yincheng Princess" as the empress, and depose the new Emperor Li Li's throne.

As for how many people will respond to them, or whether it will be effective, that is not something for them to consider.

Now it seems that if it really comes to that point, the "Princess Yincheng", under the protection of the Song army, has absolute power and can gain control of the Western Xia Kingdom.

It's just that Wei Chixuan really wants to do that?

First of all, the cause of Li Dewang's death is still a mystery, everyone has been dead for more than a month, and I believe that no one is tracking.

Since there was still no news so far, Wei Chixuan didn't think that with a few of them, he would be able to find out the truth of the matter in a relatively short period of time.

If, just this one thing has to be investigated for a year and a half, or even longer, Wei Chixuan doesn't know if there is any point in doing that?

Because, no one dares to guarantee how long the Western Xia Kingdom will be able to last.

Secondly, if the Emperor wants to appoint "Princess Yincheng" as the empress, is it a deliberate decision, or is he a brain fever and angry at the tragic death of his son, so he doesn't care about anything?

"Princess Yincheng" will marry sooner or later, if it weren't for the turmoil in Zhongxing Mansion and the invasion of the Mongols, "Princess Yincheng" would probably have been sitting in the Yanwang Mansion in Luoyang City.

If the "Princess Yincheng" becomes the empress, what should she do about her marriage to King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty?

Could it be that Emperor Taishang sent out a Yinzhou is not over, he still wants to send the entire Great Xia Kingdom to the hands of the Great Song Dynasty through the hands of the "Yincheng Princess"?

"Vulture" Wei Chi Xuan was a little entangled in his heart.

At that time in Lin'an, he didn't have time to ask the Emperor Taishang, and he didn't even communicate with Murong Qiudi in depth, so he hurried on the road.

These things were only thought of after he went to Zhongxing Mansion and calmed down.

Of course, Wei Chixuan also understood that unless the Western Xia could become strong on its own and fully possess the strength to defeat the Mongols, it would only be a matter of time before the country was destroyed, but it was not sure who would perish in whose hands.

However, whether it is the new emperor Li Wei,

Or the "Silver City Princess", it seems that she doesn't have this ability and strength, right?

"Senior brother, I know you will be a little entangled, but don't forget, what is the real reason behind our senior brother being able to stay in Yipintang for so many years?"

Wei Chixuan, who was thinking about it, was suddenly interrupted by a sentence from "Open the Tablet Palm" Red.

Yes, the three of my brothers and sisters are not from Western Xia, they are from the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, and they have stayed in the "Yipintang" for decades, and they are not really loyal to Western Xia.

The person they respect is always the imperial concubine of Western Xia, Murong Qiudi.

"Senior brother, what should we do according to your wishes?"

Wei Chixuan expected what Red might say, but he still wanted to hear what the other party said.

"First rescue the king's young sons, and then gather the civil and military ministers in the palace of King Hao, and take out the seal and edict of the emperor in public, "expose" Li Wei's evil deeds, abolish the pseudo-emperor, and establish the empress!"

"The Tablet Palm" Red, who changed his old appearance of being arrogant and reckless, said the above words solemnly, especially on the word "reveal".

Yu Chixuan understood, what needs to be investigated, which is being exposed?

This is clearly pronouncing the verdict, without dwelling on what is the truth of the matter?

"Why?"

Wei Chixuan asked a little confused.

"This is the explanation of the Grand Commander when he leaves—"

Red replied calmly.

There will always be only one person in their mouths and hearts, and that is the peerless Murong Qiudi.

"Okay, in that case, let's visit Zhongxing Mansion for three days first, and try to contact as many old departments as possible of the 'Yipintang', and the civil and military forces of the DPRK and China who support the 'Princess Yincheng'."

"Within three days, be sure to pick up a few princes from the palace, and then let Xiaonan and Xiaobei escort them to Lin'an first."

"Let's go and promulgate the edict of abolition again, and rush to Xiliangzhou with the civil and military forces who support the "Yincheng Princess".

In extraordinary times, it doesn't matter where it is or not, and they know in their hearts that all this is just a transition.

"Master Master, Master II, what are you talking about? What is abolished? What empress's? Confusing the apprentices."

Looking at his two masters, saying something he didn't understand, Du Yi asked on the side.

"Xiaoyi, you have your parents in the hall, and the teacher doesn't want to involve you."

"This time, we returned to Western Xia with the edict of the Emperor Taishang, took the king's young sons to Lin'an, and abolished the puppet emperor Li Li, and set up the "Yincheng Princess" as the empress!"

"What? ——」

Du Yi's eyes widened, and he looked at Yu Chixuan with a look of disbelief.

"Master, why is this happening? The king may not really be the victim of the new emperor, and ......."

After this period of contact, Du Yi found that the new emperor Li Li was actually a very good person, but he was born at the wrong time and encountered this era of the jungle.

"Xiaoyi, let me ask you, without the support of the Great Song Dynasty, do you think Great Xia would be able to block the Mongolian Iron Cavalry?"

"I can't."

"If the 'Princess Yincheng' goes to Luoyang, will the army of the Great Song Dynasty still fight against the Mongols for Great Xia?"

"No, it won't."

"So, if the Mongols continue to increase their troops, will the Great Song Dynasty continue to increase their troops to defend against the Mongols for Great Xia? And what reason do they have for doing so?"

Yes, this time I said that I came to protect the "Princess Yincheng", because of the side concubine of King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty, but how long can I protect it?

Three, five, or ten years?

Why do you want the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty to sacrifice their lives and spend endless materials to help your Western Xia Kingdom resist foreign enemies?

"Then if the 'Princess of Yincheng' becomes the empress, can the demise of Great Xia be avoided?"

Du Yi is naturally also smart

People, who is the emperor, he doesn't have too strong tendencies, but his ancestors have lived in this land for generations, and suddenly he has to change the sky, and it is really difficult to accept emotionally for a while.

"No, Great Xia will be drowned in the long river of history like many dynasties......

Speaking of this, Yu Chixuan also felt a little emotional.

Not to mention that it is a Western Xia on the border, even if it is a strong and prosperous Han and Tang Dynasty, doesn't it still cease to exist?

After that, things are much simpler.

Now in the palace of Western Xia, where can they still stop Wei Chixuan and them?

Li Dewang left two sons and a daughter, the eldest is a daughter, nine years old this year, and the two princes are seven years old and the other is just four years old.

Wei Chixuan, who was familiar with the road, and Du Yi, had the guilt, and took the three children out of the palace the next night.

happened to meet the mother of the four-year-old little prince, one of Li Dewang's concubines, who lived with the little prince, so he simply took it away.

From Zhongxing Mansion to Lin'an, more than 4,000 miles, with three children, there is a woman to take care of it, after all, it is more convenient.

In three days, Wei Chixuan still summoned dozens of old subordinates, and asked the brothers Yu Chi Nan and Wei Chi Bei to lead ten good men and set up a carriage to escort the three children to Lin'an first.

Du Yi still stayed, even if he was a little envious of Brother Wei Chi, but he was reluctant to let his father and mother go, and he still stayed by their side in troubled times.

In the next matter, Wei Chixuan didn't let Du Yi participate anymore, and even sent a few people to him to go home to guard his parents, and then come out when everything was settled.

In the palace of King Hao, hundreds of officials gathered.

When Wei Chixuan promulgated the edict of the Emperor Taishang in public, except for a very small number of people who knew in advance, the other ministers of civil and military affairs were dumbfounded.

"Come on, quickly take down this rebellious minister and thief who is deceiving the people—"

Is this to depose one's own throne? Li was in a hurry.

However, Li Wei shouted several times, but no one stepped forward to lock it.

Who is Yu Chixuan?

People who have been in the "Yipintang" for more than 20 years have served the kings of the Western Xia of the two dynasties, and they enter and leave the palace as if they were their own home.

Whether it is a hundred civil and military officials, or someone else, only the "Yipintang" lock takes their share, here, who dares to touch Wei Chixuan?

Didn't you see that the "stele palm" Red, who usually kills people like a madman, is guarding the door of the main hall with people?

"Li Wei, although there is no direct evidence now that you sent someone to poison the king, maybe it was really you who did it? This Great Xia Lord, you better let it out."

"Let's not say that you are in the right position or not, just say that Mongolia, a strong enemy in the west, can you Li Wei resist?"

"The Emperor Taishang candle shines for thousands of miles, and the establishment of the "Yincheng Princess" as the empress is for the sake of the well-being of Daxia for hundreds of years, and if the Emperor Taishang can spare your life, you will be enough to burn high incense."

Wei Chixuan didn't stop, forcibly took the seal letter of the lord of Great Xia in his hand, and set off with the civil and military officers who were willing to go to Xiliang Prefecture to support the "Yincheng Princess".

As for the Chungxing Mansion, it is now considered a temporary state of anarchy, and some upright neutral ministers have spontaneously stayed behind to take care of this foundation.

As for what the future holds, who knows?

......

On Peach Blossom Island, a few naked boys are chasing and fighting on the beach by the sea.

They are all seven or eight years old, and they all seem to have inexhaustible strength, and they are guarded by two good maids, beware of these children really running into the sea.

There is also a simple gazebo next to it, and in the gazebo is lying a middle-aged man, wearing a spacious sweatshirt but also soaking wet, looking at the child running crazy not far away with envy.

And next to the middle-aged man, there are two children sitting.

One is also seven or eight years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, especially two eyes, flickering, like black pearls, revealing a smart look.

The other child, but a little smaller, has

Five or six years old?

On a stone bench, sitting upright, even if the sweat soaked through the clothes, this child can bear it, unlike other children, *** go crazy.

"Yi'er, take off your clothes when it's hot, you may get prickly heat."

The middle-aged man lying on the rocking chair to enjoy the shade, looking like a down-and-out scholar, looked at the child in front of him with sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Second Master, I'm not afraid of the heat, my grandfather said that you should always pay attention to your words, deeds and dress, not necessarily luxurious, but you must be dignified and decent."

"My brothers hate the hot weather, and it is a nature to play and play by the water, but it is also a kind of cultivation for me to be calm and cool like this."

The middle-aged scholar smiled helplessly.

Looking at the child in front of him, who was not yet five years old, he didn't know how his second apprentice would react if he came back and saw that his son had become like this?

This middle-aged scholar is the "wonderful scholar" Zhu Cong, and the seven-year-old beautiful boy in front of him is Xiao Yangguo.

And the five-year-old boy who ridiculed him was Guo Mo's eldest son, little Guo Yi.

Of course, the few boys who were playing on the beach not far away were Guo Ping, Ye Feng, Lu Bing, Zhao Simo and others who were studying together in the "Yuyingtang".

This summer, it is surprisingly hot, Jiangnan is better, after all, it is a place with a developed water system, and other places such as Guanzhong, Huaibei, Henan, Hebei and other places are in trouble.

From May to now, it has been almost two months, and there has not been a drop of rain, and if it still does not rain in a few months, I am afraid that this year will be a dry year.

Since last year, Guo Yi has just passed the age of four, and Zhao Kuo, who is in the Lin'an Palace, has sent two experienced palace maids to serve Guo Yi.

He was accompanied by a doctor of literature sent by the official family, who was an old scholar in his fifties, and it was said that he also had a high status among the Confucianists of the Great Song Dynasty.

He came to enlighten Guo Yi to learn, not to rob Zhu Cong's job, this old scholar mainly teaches "etiquette" and "filial piety".

Is this to start with a doll?

Or do you think you can't let little Guo Yi grow into a "casual" person like his father?

Since the official family has sent people, Peach Blossom Island is naturally not easy to refuse, so it shows that the official family attaches great importance to Xiao Guo Yi, who made him Guo Mo's eldest son?

This is also Zhao Kuo's eldest grandson, maybe he will shoulder a heavy responsibility in the future?

Zhu Cong simply adjusted the teaching time and made all the children into it, a full six people.

In the morning, the old scholar would teach, and in the afternoon it would be his turn.

Zhu Cong's teaching methods are varied, no, it was too hot today, so he took the children directly to the beach.

Not to mention, among these children, the eldest Guo Ping is eight years old, and the youngest Guo Yi is also five years old, and they have all learned to swim, but Yang Guo is the best in water.

Maybe it should be said that in addition to reading, no matter what he does, Yang Guo is the best.

Since the beginning of this year, Zhu Cong has officially taught the children martial arts, and according to Guo Mo's requirements, everyone has practiced the "Eight Methods of the Great Desert", which has been improved and upgraded by Guo Mo later.

After many years, Zhu Cong, a "wonderful scholar", is still in the sixth layer of "Flowing Clouds and Catching the Sun", but after cultivating Guo Mo's new version, the internal force that has not entered the country for a long time has loosened somewhat.

Half a year has passed, and there are only two people who have started, one is Guo Ping and the other is Yang Guo.

Guo Ping's appearance follows Hua Zheng, but his temperament is as generous as Guo Jing, and his practice is also the most diligent and hard-working.

Yang Guo is different, he is the first of all to learn.

"Desert dust", the wind rises, and the smoke and clouds all the way.

A month ago, Zhu Cong personally inspected Yang Guo's entry and found that this kid had already practiced the first layer of the "Eight Methods of the Great Desert", "Desert Dust", and there were vague signs of breakthrough.

This discovery immediately stunned the "Wonderful Scholar", and he had never encountered such a situation, how could a child who was less than seven years old practice internal strength enter the realm like this

How fast?

You must know that the most taboo thing to practice internal strength is to seek speed, especially when laying the foundation.

In fact, Yang Guo's situation, in addition to his own talent, is mainly due to Guo Mo's fiddling with him back then.

Zhu Cong didn't dare to be self-conscious, so he took the exercises of the "Eight Methods of the Great Desert" and went to see the "Eastern Evil" Huang Yaoshi in person.

Huang Yaoshi has been very free in the past half a year, Feng Heng took Xiao Guo Xiang to Luoyang, and even Jin Yufeng, the seventh apprentice he had taught for almost two years, also followed.

Most of the time, Huang Yaoshi stayed in the "Listening to the Rain Xuan", reading, practicing calligraphy, playing chess, playing the piano, and blowing the flute......

He had stabilized the realm of "Half-Step Innate Being", but the road ahead seemed to be unclear at all.

He also asked Guo Mo, and Guo Mo even referred to the "Guiyuan Sword Technique" he got from the secret cave of Zhongnan Mountain with Huang Yaoshi.

Seeing that Huang Yaoshi was confused, of course he could understand the swordsmanship, and he could also practice it completely according to the sword spectrum.

However, compared with Guo Mo, the power is completely incomparable.

Huang Yaoshi knew that "the road after tomorrow has traces to follow, and the innate path depends on the fate", not just talking.

It seems that his own innate path can only be explored by himself.

Maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, maybe it won't be achieved in a lifetime, who knows?

After giving up the obsession in his heart, Huang Yaoshi quietly did what he liked to do.

It's a pity that the children on the island are too young, so let's leave the foundation for them to Zhu Cong, a "wonderful scholar".

As for the fact that the official Zhao Kuan sent a doctor of literature to teach Guo Yi, Huang Yaoshi surprisingly agreed.

Although his thoughts and concepts have always been deviant, he stubbornly believes that Xiao Guo Yi needs to learn all kinds of etiquette at a glance.

As for his son-in-law Guo Mo, he is no longer within the scope of Huang Yaoshi's "discipline", that is a genius above a genius, or what he does and how he does it makes sense.

When Zhu Cong found Huang Yaoshi, he was studying the formation.

Not every disciple or grandson can excel, he imagined that Chongyang Zhenren would leave a set of combined attack formations for the disciples in case of emergency.

"Lord Huangdao—"

"Zhu Erxia? What's the matter?"

After so many years of getting along, Zhu Cong has always been an elder like Huang Yaoshi, although he is only more than ten years older.

Zhu Cong told Yang Guo about it, and handed the "Eight Methods of the Desert" sent by Guo Mo to Huang Yaoshi.

In front of a master like "East Evil", of course Zhu Cong will not cherish himself, not to mention that this set of improved exercises is still from the hands of someone's son-in-law.

He also heard Guo Mo say that the "Eight Methods of the Great Desert" have been practiced to the extreme, and there is great hope, and Huang Yaoshi is already a "half-step innate".

"Mo'er is an immortal genius in martial arts, and this set of 'Eight Methods of the Great Desert', after he has improved and upgraded, the risk of breaking through each layer has been reduced a lot."

In a quarter of an hour, Huang Yaoshi carefully finished reading the "Eight Methods of the Desert" handed over by Zhu Cong, and was full of praise.

"That child, I have also noticed, it is indeed very good, and at a young age, he reveals a intelligence that ordinary people can't match, I really don't know how Mo'er has such good luck?"

The old "East Evil" was a little surprised, and he had a total of seven disciples, and if he wanted to say that the most spiritual, he should count the dead Qu Lingfeng.

Even so, Qu Lingfeng's qualifications are not as good as his daughter Huang Rong.

Like Guo Mo, Huang Yaoshi has "disdain" to talk about him, but he didn't expect to accept Yang Guo and be so rebellious?

"Mo'er said that this Xiao Yang Guo will be his heir to the mantle in the future, but I didn't expect that before the age of seven, his talent would be revealed, I'm afraid that except for Xiao Xiang'er, no child can compare to him."

Little Xiang'er?

Well, that's Guo Mo's daughter, it seems that all geniuses have to be stained with that kid.

"This

Well, Mo'er won't be able to come back for a while, and we as elders can't delay his precious apprentice."

"You will stay with me for the first time in this "Eight Methods of the Great Desert", and when the sun sets the day after tomorrow, you will bring Yang Guo to me, and I will protect the Dharma for him."

After receiving the affirmation of the "Eastern Evil", Zhu Cong was completely relieved.

A gifted child like Yang Guo, if it was really abandoned in his own hands, Zhu Cong wouldn't know how to face his apprentice.

It seems that I have to work hard to practice.

The current "Seven Monsters of Jiangnan" have rarely gotten together in a few years, but their correspondence with each other has never been broken.

The second Zhu Cong taught these children for Guo Mo on Peach Blossom Island, the third Han Baoju helped Guo Mo lead troops in Guanzhong, and the fourth Nan Xiren guarded the base camp for Guo Mo in Lin'an.

The fifth Zhang Asheng and the seventh Han Xiaoying have been living in the "Mandarin Duck Villa" in Jiaxing, accompanying the eldest brother Ke to suppress evil.

Old Sixth...... Don't say that the kid is good, he actually got together with Hu Yanfeng, held a low-key wedding, and lived a life without shame.

The martial arts of these seven have also opened up over the years.

"Flying Bat" Ke Zhen is evil, completely behind closed doors, but his internal strength is the deepest, but due to his physical defects, his actual combat power may be weaker than Nan Xiren.

Nan Xiren is the most supportive of Guo Mo, who has been in charge of the "Imperial City Division" for many years, in addition to handling official business, he is constantly practicing martial arts.

He was already good at palms, and with Guo Mo's final version of the "Sunrise and Sunset Palm", he is probably second only to Guo Mo in his understanding and use of this set of palms.

These two people are undoubtedly in the first gear of the "Seven Monsters of Jiangnan", Han Xiaoying, who was originally on a par with Nan Xiren, has slackened in recent years.

seems to be tired of the life of the rivers and lakes, in the "Mandarin Duck Villa", I went to live with Zhang Asheng in a down-to-earth manner.

The current Han Xiaoying is probably a line stronger than Zhu Cong, and these two are in the second gear.

Han Baoju completely changed himself from a martial arts man to a general in the army, and his martial arts entered the country slowly, and he fell to the third gear with the sixth full blonde and the fifth Zhang Asheng.

This is also their first-class, second-rate, and third-rate realm, and the three in the third gear, as they grow older, may want to break through again, and there is little hope.

"Eastern Evil" Huang Yaoshi, how much more is it a combination of medicine and martial arts?

With his full protection, although Xiao Yang is only seven years old, after all, he has only broken through the first layer of the "Eight Methods of the Great Desert", and he has survived without danger.

However, Huang Yaoshi reminded Yang Guo that he would have to settle for at least two months before he could continue to cultivate the second layer of "The Wind Rises".

Therefore, these days, Yang Guo has to read boringly, or practice the familiar Nanshan palm technique, which can no longer be familiar.

......

Luoyang City, Yanwang Mansion.

Zhao Rushu and Cheng Jue once again joined forces in the back house of Yanwangfu.

Guo Mo, Huang Rong, Li Mochou, Xiao Guo Xiang and Xiao Longnu are having dinner in the "Red Rain Pavilion".

"Why are you two here at this time? I just came back from the Hall of Heroes, so I don't think there's anything special?"

Guo Mo had just sat down, and before he had eaten half of his meal, the two elders came to the door.

"Haha, I'm really sorry to disturb Your Highness and the princess for dinner—"

said that he was disturbed, but Cheng Jue didn't look sorry at all, and his eyes still looked at the food on the table from time to time.

"You two shouldn't have eaten yet, right? Tingxiang will bring some more food, and I will accompany the two gentlemen to have dinner together."

When he went to Guo Mohou's house to eat, Lao Cheng Jue did not do less, Zhao Rushu stayed in Yanwangfu for so many years longer than him, and the number of times he rubbed rice could not even catch up with a fraction of Lao Cheng's.

"Haha, how can you trouble Your Highness again? Ask Miss Fu, let someone put the table here, it's cool to be close to the door."

Lao Cheng Jue was not polite, and directly commanded to ask Fulai, and on the outside of Guo Mo's original dining table, another table was placed.

Of course, Guo Mo was embarrassed to talk to him again

's wife and daughter ate together, got up and sat down with the two elders.

"Tell me, what's the matter for you two busy people to come to me for dinner at this time."

Seeing Lao Cheng's self-cooking, Guo Mo was still a little angry for no reason, and directly pointed out that the other party was here to eat.

"Your Highness, there are indeed two things that are more tricky."

Zhao Rushu finally spoke, no matter how he said that he was the head of the Yan Palace, but he couldn't be as familiar as Lao Cheng Jue.

"The old man came from Du Gao just now, and he also went out for a day, and the situation is not optimistic."

Zhao Rushu has been frowning since he entered the door.

"What? Is it serious?"

Of course, Guo Mo knew what he was talking about.

Since May, the entire Henan Province and Ruzhou, including Dengzhou and Tangzhou in the south, have not seen a drop of rain, and the drought in other areas has also been revealed, but it is not as serious as these four places.

Of course, as Guo Mo's close neighbor, the current territory of Dajin Kingdom is not much better, and it is even more serious.

After the Dajin Kingdom lost two-thirds of its land, it was surrounded by the Great Song Dynasty on three sides, except for the sea in the east.

In the narrow land of several state capitals, it is necessary to feed more than 100,000 Jin troops, and it has been rumored since the beginning of the year that the other party has not enough food.

Now, there are all kinds of indications that this year is likely to be a year of great drought, and if the autumn grain harvest fails, I wonder how the Daikin Congress will deal with itself?

"Your Highness, originally our four state capitals could still be self-sufficient, but after sending military rations to Western Xia twice, if the autumn grain is not harvested, I am afraid that we will have to transfer grain from Jiangnan."

"Our four places are also easy to manage, as long as we can last for half a year, there shouldn't be a big problem. It's just that if there is a famine in the territory of Daejin, I am afraid that a large number of victims will pour in......

Zhao Rushu made it very clear that this is a rainy day.

Although the territory of Dajin is not large now, it has a large population, which is regarded as the central and eastern part of Henan, the southeast of Shandong and the northeast of AH, and the plains are mostly densely populated.

Wen Fu commanded his subordinates and had already re-served the food for the three of them, but Guo Mo and Zhao Rushu didn't have much of the heart to eat and drink, and Lao Cheng Jue ate a few chopsticks in a hurry.

"Zhao Changshi, if the worst happens, and there is an influx of disaster victims, do you estimate how much food we still need to prepare?"

Guo Mo asked, not thinking about keeping the hungry people out at all.

"Your Highness, this gap is very big, we must not only ensure the supply of the people and troops in our four regions, but also set aside a certain amount of war food, although the Western Xia side is now sending less."

"If a million hungry people pour in, at least a million stone of grain must be prepared."

A million stones?

Guo Mo doesn't know if there will be so much grain in the official warehouse in the south of the Yangtze River, especially this drought, which has spread quite widely, in addition to dealing with the hungry, I am afraid that it is necessary to prevent the rise in food prices.

"Zhao Changshi, let's prepare for the worst. Tomorrow, you can talk to Du Gao and ask him to draw up a notice, and this year's autumn grain can be covered by forced labor."

"Let him organize the youth and make sure that every inhabited village has two wells, and each village dug a large pond to store water for daily use."

"Let Yue Ao take 10,000 'Yue Family Army' to the Yellow River and dig ten large pools to store the water in the Yellow River now, and if it doesn't rain in a few months, the Yellow River will be cut off."

As for the fact that they intercepted the water of the Yellow River in the upper reaches, what should the Dajin Kingdom in the middle and lower reaches do?

Guo Mo can't manage so much anymore.

"Then secretly send people to Jiangnan, Lianghu and other places to collect grain, scatter a few more places, and try not to attract people's attention."

"In addition, I personally wrote a letter to Shi Xiang of Lin'an, didn't he want to support me? Let him help the king raise 500,000 stone of military rations for the "rebellion."

Our Shi Xiangna is a well-known landowner, and it is time for him to be generous.

Of course

Guo Mo will not ask for other people's food in vain, when Li Mochou passed the door, didn't Shi Miyuan send a million taels of silver tickets?

Just use the money to buy food from him.

"Zhao Changshi, food is one thing, and in addition, we must prepare supplies for the accommodation and winter of the hungry, and we must also pay attention to public security."

"Let's pause our brewery for a moment, it's a bit too food-intensive. From tomorrow, the Yanwang Mansion will reduce its daily consumption by half, so let's take a look after a few months."

"You communicate more with Du Gao and Yue Ao, we should have three or four months to prepare, everything is still in time, we must not let one of the hungry people who entered my Great Song Dynasty freeze and starve to death-"

Guo Mo was talking to himself there, and Zhao Rushu found a pen and paper from somewhere, and quickly memorized it there.

The old Cheng Jue next to him was not eating and drinking, and even Huang Rong and the others on the other side stopped eating and drinking.

"Your Highness, you are really a bodhisattva! Old minister Cheng Jue for the hungry people in the world, thank you——"

Old Cheng Jue was already in tears, tremblingly saluting Guo Mo.

"Haha, these are all things that this king should do, nothing is as important as human life! By the way, didn't you say two things? And one more?"

In the face of natural disasters, Guo Mo knew that there was a limit to what he could do, he was just a congenital master and not an immortal, and hoped that all losses could be controlled.
