"The people of the Northern Desert are not unsolvable, right?"

"You don't understand."

Wei Wang Ye sighed and said: "In the early years, the people under my command followed Taizu to conquer the border regions, Taizu was brave and unparalleled, but when Xixiao destroyed the country, those people still retreated to Mobei, and for more than 100 years, the people of Northern Desert have always been a big trouble, so have you ever thought about why Taizu didn't kill them all at the beginning?" ”

The old man thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it worth it?" ”

Wei Wangye said: "Of course, there is this part, but in fact, the more important reason is that our army cannot travel to the high mountains, and once it passes, there will be a headache and drowsiness, and if it is serious, it will even be unable to act, and the weather will be cold, and the combat power will be sharply reduced, and the cost will be greater." ”

"Huh?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said, "There is such a thing? ”

Wei Wangye nodded and said: "The terrain of the Northern Desert is steep, there are high mountains and dangerous obstacles as far as the eye can see, and it is difficult for the army to overcome, the Northern Desert people are born here, and they have long been accustomed to it, this is God helping them, but this kind of thing also has a price, the price is that the land is barren and the food is scarce." ”

The old man raised his eyes, looked at Prince Wei and said, "Can you figure it out, will the court and the other princes understand?" ”

Wei Wang Ye said: "It's nothing more than a difference of opinion, I don't think it's worth it, but if it falls into the hands of King Jin, then it's worth it, all he wants is the population, after catching people, the border region won't do his business, probably only he is sure that he can hold these people." ”

"Who's going to guard the domain over there?"

"Who else could it be." Prince Wei smiled and said, "The imperial court." ”

The imperial court has always been the one who takes over the plate.

In the future, there will definitely be no more such things as fighting foreign enemies.

It's as if all this is the court losing.

But there is no way to do it, because it is the court, not the prince, some things, he has to do, the king of Jin can be abused by the people of the world, but the court cannot, because this will make him lose the only advantage, that is, the orthodoxy recognized by the world.

"Let's play." Wei Wang Ye said: "One day it will collapse." ”

Now the situation is getting more and more chaotic.

………

Upper Beijing.

In the troubled times, Shangjing City is also a little less prosperous.

But in comparison, the tranquility of Shangjing is not comparable to any other place.

Because in the eyes of the world, no matter how chaotic the world is, it will not be able to go to the capital.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the forbidden army guarded this place so impregnably that it was difficult for foreign enemies to hit here.

Whether it is the common people or the literati, they are now talking about the general trend of the world, and there will always be such a voice in the teahouse inn.

Each has its own opinions, but more of them are criticizing the incompetence of the court, with the achievements of the previous emperor in front, and now the prince in charge of the court is undoubtedly incomparable, coupled with the previous Northern Desert matter, there are more and more discussions about this in the capital.

Many people feel that today's court is not only inferior to the period of the first emperor, but even those rebellious princes.

"Now this momentum is really getting more and more incomprehensible."

"Yes, King Kang died violently, I heard that in the end, King Kang's territory belonged to King Yan, I thought it was King Jin's ......"

"Huh? The Wild Goose King? ”

"How is this possible, the territory of the Wild Goose King is far away from that domain, how can it be done if the two sides are separated like this? Is this wild goose king confused? ”

"Who knows."

"I thought it was King Jin."

"Alas, no matter who it belongs to anyway, it's not necessarily a good thing, but the first two years were a little more peaceful, and I always feel like it's going to be a mess soon."

"I think ...... too"

The situation is indeed a bit serious.

Many people are also a little worried, but the court has not made any moves, which can't help but make people think deeply.

It won't really succeed in the rebellion.

Yu Hongjin, who came to buy wine on the street, couldn't help but ponder when he heard these messes.

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with a reason.

I simply bought wine and went back.

The Tang family has a big mansion in Shangjing, which is not ordinarily big, and it took Yu Hongjin to visit for a long time when he came.

When I entered the door, I saw a young man approaching.

"Okay, you fish red brocade, go buy wine again! Auntie has to spank you again! ”

Yu Hongjin hurriedly put away the wine, looked at Tang Shijing in front of him and said, "You talk a lot!" ”

Tang Shijing smiled, and then stepped forward and snatched the wine jug from Yu Hongjin's hand.

"Eh, you pay me back!"

"It's mine."

Tang Shijing smiled and touched the red brocade head.

Yu Hongjin stomped his feet a little angrily and said, "I'll go and tell Sister Yun to go." ”

Tang Shijing smiled: "You go and sue me, my aunt asked me to keep an eye on you and let you drink less." ”

Yu Hongjin pursed her lips, and she glanced at Tang Shijing coldly.

Tang Shijing smiled, and then walked outside with the wine gourd.

After leaving the house, he walked all the way towards Shang.

When I arrived at the trading house, I went up to the third floor and entered a study around the corner.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

After the people who stayed in the house responded, Tang Shijing walked in the door.

"Daddy, I'm still busy."

But in front of the desk sat a gray-haired old man with a pen in his hand, and in front of him were countless ledgers and papers, mixed with many letters.

Tang Mingjing glanced at him and said, "You have nothing to do, what are you doing here?" ”

Tang Shijing lifted the wine in his hand, smiled, and said, "Please drink Daddy." ”

Tang Mingjing glanced at it and said, "I snatched it from Yu Hongjin." ”

"Daddy is like a god."

Tang Mingjing snorted lightly and said, "Don't do something serious for a day." ”

Tang Shijing stepped forward and sat down and said, "Why don't you do business, Dad, I also helped you solve a matter before." ”

Tang Mingjing glanced at him, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk about it, what is the matter with this time, you don't have any good water in your stomach." ”

"Then I'm not ambiguous."

Tang Shijing said: "Dad, you can lend me some money." ”

Tang Mingjing glanced at him and asked, "What do you want money for?" ”

Tang Shijing said: "The business in the border region seems to be pretty good. ”

Tang Mingjing was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

He closed the ledger in front of him and raised his head to look at Tang Shijing.

"You kid really dare to think about it." Tang Mingjing said in a serious tone: "That place is unimaginable, is it possible that you want to do this loss-making business?" ”

Tang Shijing said: "Dad, you're joking, whether you're losing money or not, Dad, don't you know." ”

Tang Mingjing pondered for a moment, and glanced at Tang Shijing from time to time.

Tang Shijing saw his hesitation, so he said: "Daddy, you just let me try, it won't cost much anyway." ”

Tang Mingjing shook his head, but he was still pondering.

This is no small matter.
