It was not surprising that the emperor would make his own strategic plan, after all, Liu Dan was more famous for his love of martial arts.

But directly taking out the strategic plan shows that the emperor originally planned to take action against the southwest, and even many people have begun to suspect that the emperor and the general have a connection.

In a somewhat dull atmosphere, several important ministers who participated in the last war in the south slowly unfolded the paper, and Liu Dan said with emotion at the top: "The military book said that we should take advantage of the situation, and I think so."

When I was in Liaodong to conquer the Hu people and the Yidi of the peninsula, I also encountered a difficult situation in the mountains, and the cavalry could not enter.

Once Yidi hid in the mountains, he would go down the mountain to plunder, or harass and destroy at any time, which was annoying and unguardable.

You are all important ministers of the imperial court, and you must know that a few years ago, the imperial brother and I said that they would transform Lelang County into a kingdom and use it as a feudal dynasty, because the imperial court was unwilling to invest a lot of money and resources to maintain those barren and unproductive counties.

I am bringing up the old matter again at this moment in order to inform the secretaries that the same is true of the war in the southwest.

There are 100,000 mountains in the southwest, cut off from each other, surrounded by rivers, the terrain is complex, and the mountains are steep, which is far more than the peninsula.

If the peninsula can't be subdued, can the southwest instead?

Do not enter the mountains, where there are fierce beasts and poisonous insects, and the damp qi will invade the body of the Han army, and the Han army will get sick.

Passing on my orders, preparing medicine for the Han army, as abundant as weapons, I will pray to the heavens to ward off the plague that haunts the southern kingdom. ”

Once he talked about the war, Liu Dan was like a different person, talking eloquently, and he had an endless desire to talk.

At this time, those ministers who got the strategic plan had basically finished reading it, and they put away all their contempt at once, this emperor on the throne is really a soldier!

Emperor Wugong was born with an advantage, and Emperor Wenzhi was always worried about his courtiers' high merits, but Emperor Wugong had no concerns about this.

Throughout the history of Ji Zhao's previous life, those famous emperors, except for Emperor Wen of Han, were all emperors with outstanding martial arts without exception, and those who mastered violence mastered the world, which is the eternal truth of the world.

Although Liu Dan does not learn and has no skills, but for the war in the southwest Yi, what stands out is a stable word, not fighting crooked battles, not making dangerous moves, that is, crushing the past in a dignified manner.

"In the southwest, the mountains are high and the water is deep, the plains are scarce, there is very little land that can build a city, and there are not many places that the army can reach.

I thought that since it was difficult to reach, I would not go, and I would garrison the cities that already existed in the plains, and transport grain through rivers and limited avenues, and slowly hoard it.

Not only use the sword to kill those Yi people, but also use money, food, salt and iron and other things that the Han Han has to trade with those Yi people in the mountains.

We don't want their things, we want to kill people's heads, let them kill each other.

Those Yiren tribes who were willing to submit to the Han Dynasty, appeased them, formed a righteous subordinate army that was good at mountain warfare, canonized them as liehous, and let their children go to Taixue to learn the classics of the Central Plains.

In this way, we will surely be able to completely solve the matter in the southwest. ”

Liu Dan's words basically implemented the policy implemented by the Liaodong Protectorate in Liaodong, especially the policy of killing each other, the more numerous the tribes, the more areas that do not identify with each other, the easier it is to use.

The reason why the Xiongnu will be the great enemy of the Han Dynasty and must be exterminated is because the Xiongnu are trying to build a civilization that is independent of Zhuxia and opposed to Zhuxia, and has achieved extremely rich results, almost integrating the entire grassland.

Liu Dan's quite normal words made the ministers in the palace feel very strange.

This King of Northern Yan has always been known for his martial arts and violence, but now he has the appearance of a Ming Monarch and Holy Lord, just like a well-known loser who suddenly tells you to be diligent and thrifty, and anyone will feel weird.

The general was already about to laugh out loud, until now, the emperor's performance was much better than he expected, and the glorious years of military feats and honors would continue, he said loudly: "Your Majesty Shengming, follow your strategy, we will achieve a great victory in the southwest, no one in this world can threaten the existence of the Great Han, defeat all enemies, until Siyi Binfu, come to Chang'an, sing your name!" ”

The general's words simply reached Liu Dan's heart, looking at the general's eyes were very satisfied, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a somewhat inopportune voice sound, "Your Majesty, where should the military funds be raised?" The current treasury is empty. ”

As the saying goes, a penny is hard for a hero, what war is there for no money?

With the exit of this sentence, the atmosphere in the palace was stagnant, before Emperor Xiaoding decided not to go to war for the time being because the treasury had no money and food, and now the emperor is going to fight again, and he said a bunch of lofty words, where does the money come from?

Liu Dan frowned when he heard this: "How can a big man have no money?

When I was in Liaodong, those merchants were still rich and flowing, and the people's money and food did not know how abundant.

Chang'an is the most important place, and the imperial court collects taxes from all over the world, so how can it be that there is no money?

Is there someone who is unwilling to pay taxes?

Is there someone who is deliberately in arrears and deliberately evasion of taxes?

Where are the big farmers and the big businessmen?

Tell me what this is all about. ”

Sang Hongyang, who had been waiting for a long time, walked out full of excitement, he smelled the taste of glory and wealth in the emperor's body, and felt the taste of his own peak.

"Your Majesty, the minister Sang Hongyang reported that there is indeed less money and grain in the treasury of Chang'an and Guanzhong, but the Han Dynasty has a lot of money and grain, and it is not difficult to raise military spending.

For example, the official camp of salt and iron, called the official camp, is actually private, and the imperial court mainly supervises the price and quality of salt and iron, but it is not controlled by the imperial court from beginning to end.

This is very profitable, the merchant gets eight points, and the court gets two points, so ......"

As soon as he said this, Emperor Liu Dan had already taken the case and said angrily: "What? Eight points for the merchant and two points for the imperial court?

Is this the world of the Han family, or the world of merchants?

Salt and iron are all important weapons of the imperial court, and it is reasonable to use my things to make money for them? ”

Although he was very angry on his face, he secretly muttered in his heart, of course it was impossible for him not to know about this, he was the king of Northern Yan, and this private salt and iron also had his share.

If he is still a prince and king, then he will naturally oppose the official camp of the imperial court, but now that he is the emperor, he will naturally have to collect the official camp, especially this is related to his military expenses.

Sang Hongyang was overjoyed when he saw this: "Your Majesty, of course this is unreasonable, the minister has a plan, as long as the plan is done properly, it can greatly increase the income of the imperial court in just one year, and it is easy for you to levy military spending in the southwest, not only the war in the southwest, even if the Huns are resurrected, they can still meet the supply." ”

Liu Dan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Da Si Nong is really a pillar of talent, but whether a year is too long, but there is a faster way to raise military expenses, I can wait, but the people of the world can't wait." ”

Sang Hongyang actually wanted to directly put forward the oral endowment, but after returning home last time, even some colleagues of the Legalist family asked him not to bring it up for the time being, the sequelae of that thing is really a bit of a loss of conscience, they are worried that they will be directly pressed to death by Confucianism, Daomo and other families, after all, there are now two or three big cats and kittens of the Legalist family, and they are no longer at the peak of the Qin Dynasty.

Sang Hongyang groaned: "If Your Majesty thinks that the time is too long, then you can check the settlement of commercial taxes over the years, there are many profiteers in the world, there must be many tax evasion, if you recover those taxes that are not paid, it will be easy to meet the needs of military spending." ”

As soon as Sang Hongyang's words came out, many people suddenly changed their faces.
