Spend a huge amount of money of one billion taels of silver to build a city in the remote Youzhou?

This was the plan the Lord Regent had made before he left Kyoto!

Although it is said that it is a cash-for-work solution, it can solve the living problems of those affected by the disaster, but what is the difference between this and the former emperor spending national resources to build the Changle Palace?

Li Wenhou immediately frowned: "There are a lot of places where you need to use silver!" ”

"Especially the lack of armaments of the major border armies reported by the Ministry of War!"

"The household department has calculated that it will cost trillions of ...... to replenish the armaments of the four border armies."

After a pause, Li Wenhou said very cautiously: "The Quartet of Ning Country is restless, and the threat we face is not only in Wu State!" ”

"If there is a war between the other three parties, where will the food and grass come from? Where does the armament come from? ”

"Xia Guan thinks that the regent is young after all, and there will inevitably be mistakes in what he sees, and Lord Shoufu should correct his mistakes to avoid more disasters for Ning Guo because of this!"

"Even if you want to build a city in Youzhou...... Xia Guan thought that when it was also a few years later, Ning Guo really stood up, and the treasury was really full, what should be done was definitely not now! ”

Wen Zhuanyu listened to Li Wenhou's words with a smile on his face, but suddenly said: "You sit down and drink a cup of tea." ”

Li Wenhou didn't sit, he was worried!

Li Chen'an's move is too absurd.

In case the Ning Kingdom is destroyed because of this, not only will he Li Chenan be scolded by 10,000 people, but even the entire Li family will probably become the target of the world's condemnation.

Who can afford such a sin?

"When the Lord Regent told me this last winter's night, I had the same opinion as yours, but after listening to his analysis, I thought he was right!"

"The regent thinks that the greatest danger to Ning is to the north, and the deserted people in the north have now changed from a scattered nomadic tribe to a unified nation."

"The desolate people are warlike, which will cause the north of the Ning Kingdom to be the most difficult to settle."

"On the other hand, the other three parties of the Ning Kingdom are in the country, and now they have no time to go west because of the struggle for the throne, no matter which prince of the Yue Kingdom ascends the throne as the emperor, within three or five years, what he has to do is to stabilize his imperial power."

"Besides, after all, the eldest son of the emperor is the nephew of the current emperor of the Yue Kingdom, although this family affection is nothing in front of the imperial power, but the culture of the Yue Kingdom and the Ning Kingdom is in the same line, and they will pay attention to the famous teacher after all."

"Our Western Night Country in the west of Ningguo, although it has hit the Linshui Pass in Guangling Prefecture during the Jinghua period, but now the Western Night Country is also facing the threat of the neighboring Great Wilderness Country."

"Yu Wenfeng returned to the Great Wilderness City with Princess Qi Lin, and I think it won't be long before I send a letter of state and invite me to send someone to attend their wedding...... At the same time, in order to consolidate his supremacy among the desolate people, Yuwenfeng will announce to the world the official establishment of the Great Wilderness Country, and he is the first emperor of the Great Wilderness Country! ”

"This will inevitably attract the attention of the Western Night Country, because the Western Night Country is also well aware of the barbarism of the wilderness."

"In this way, I will be safe in the western frontier within three or five years."

"As for Hui Hui, there is no need to worry, they must first enter Shuzhou when they enter Ningguo. In Shuzhou, there are soldiers from Zhongli Mansion. ”

"The country of Wu is the most likely to have a war at the moment, so the regent has given priority to supplying the Red Flame Army with the largest number of fireworks......"

"Next, all the major border armies of my dynasty will be equipped with fireworks, and at that time, none of us will be afraid!"

Li Wenhou listened carefully, but the folds between his eyebrows did not stretch for half a minute.

Although there is some truth in the analysis of these situations, the reason thing is often the most unreasonable.

In case of a mistake in judgment, the current Ning Kingdom will definitely not be able to withstand the two major battles that are going on at the same time.

Unless the artifact of fireworks can be equipped with the fastest in the major border armies, unless the best weapon can be delivered to the hands of the major border armies as soon as possible.

All of this requires silver!

He didn't ask, because Wen Boiled Rain spoke again:

"The Ministry of Industry has sent craftsmen who have mastered the way of making fireworks to the walled city guarded by the four border armies."

"How much does this thing cost...... In fact, it is very cheap, and in addition, the regent said that it is easy to build this thing, so once the firearms workshops in the military fortresses on each side are built, this thing can be produced in large quantities, which is enough for our side to at least defend the city undefeated! ”

"But Mobei has been hit by disasters and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced, which is the biggest hidden danger!"

"In case there is a remnant of Jitai in the north, raising his arms and shouting...... People are hungry for a long time, they will starve to death, and the moment they return to the light, they will eat people! ”

"So cash-for-work is the most important thing at the moment!"

"First, the people have a bite to eat, a place to live, and they are not easy to be used."

"Second, the establishment of Yanjing City is completely different from Changle Palace!"

"Mobei needs a military town!"

"You must always be on guard against the invasion of the desolate!"

"The regent said that if he guards Mobei, he will guard half of the country of Ning!"

"I think that the regent's policy is far-sighted and conducive to the future foundation of Ningguo. Therefore I have no objection...... I hope you can take care of the bigger picture...... It's not that the regent is ambitious, it's the best strategy of the moment! ”

The wrinkles between Li Wenhou's eyebrows loosened a little, but he suddenly asked: "If it's wrong, what will happen?" ”

Wen Zhuyu stroked his short beard and smiled slightly: "People live in the world, how can they not walk because they are afraid of mistakes!" ”

Li Wenhou left worriedly.

He hoped that the negotiations at Honglu Temple would have a better ending.

……

……

Honglu Temple.

Wu Qian and his entourage came with charity.

When he followed Li Wenyuan into the spacious room of Honglu Temple, he was suddenly taken aback.

Because there was only one person sitting in front of the rather large table in this room.

An old man with white hair and hair, but full of energy.

Thinking that he is the former Cheng Guogong, and now he is the subordinate of the provincial servant Cheng Jingting.

Cheng Jingting sat up, just watching Wu Qian, the crown prince of Wu State, and his party walk in, he just stretched out his hand and greeted:

"Sit casually."

"I'm old, I don't have much energy, and you don't have to pay any respects to me, an old man."

"By the way, little baby,"

Cheng Jingting suddenly pointed at Wu Qian, "Is Xia Mochou's old thing dead?" ”

Wu Qian's mood was suddenly not beautiful.

Xia Mochou is the Duke of Xia Guogong of Wu State, the father of Xia Liu, the current secretary of the Ministry of War.

He is also the once famous general of Zhenbei.

It was the Seven Castles of Shimohara Prefecture that were guarded.

Back then, after the Red Flame Army destroyed the Yong Kingdom, they occupied Wuyaguan, and Lu Zhanxiao once led his troops to attack Xiayuan Prefecture and had a battle with Xia Mochou.

In that battle, Lu Zhan lost his troops and lost his generals, and he did not get a bargain in Xia Mochou's hands.

Of course, Xia Mochou also suffered a lot of losses, and he was powerless to counterattack.

After that, Lu Zhanxiao was transferred back to Ningguo Kyoto, and Xia Mochou still operated the Seven Cities, and now the Seven Cities Walled City has changed from the former military village to the Seven Heroic Cities.

At this point, Ning's threat to Wu became much smaller.

This is Xia Mochou's great achievements, and the Xia Mansion of Dongxu City is the honor of Wu State, so his father simply canonized Xia Mochou as the Duke of Xia to show the emperor's grace.

Wu Qian also sat opposite Cheng Jingting, tilted his head slightly, and said:

"Although Xia Guogong is old, he can still open a ten-stone bow, but you ...... It seems that Ningguo is really unavailable! ”

Cheng Jingting was not angry, but happy:

"To do this useless thing, of course, use the useless man of the old man."

"Little baby, why don't we talk about the wind and snow, how about it?"
