The lively scene in Cai Xu Village made Jia Cong's irritability and sense of urgency in the past few days obviously dissipate most of it.

When returning to the hunting camp, Jia Cong also brought a gift from Cai Xu Village to the two Holy Emperors - a large cart of fresh vegetables.

"Ouch, my lord, you can count it back......"

Before the carriage entered the gate of the camp, Xia Shouzhong hurriedly greeted him.

Jia Cong jumped out of the carriage and asked suspiciously, "Xia Gong, who are you?" ”

"Something is wrong, the Uszang Hajj mission was attacked by gangsters in Anfu Temple in Lizhou, and the national teacher was seriously injured, and the mission was killed or injured ...... seven or eight times."

"Lizhou? How did they get to Sichuan? Aren't you going to go through Guanzhong into Hexi and return to Wusizang? ”

After listening to Xia Shouzhong's explanation, Jia Cong's doubts deepened.

There are now three roads from the Central Plains to Tibet, the most convenient of which is to go through the customs to the hometown of Hexi, and pass through the Tuyuhun tribe into Wusizang.

The second is to go west from Shu and pass through the Great Snow Mountain into Tibet. This line is full of dangers, and it can be said that it is the extreme.

The last one is to start from Yunnan, that road was led by Mu Wangfu at the beginning of the founding of the country, and tens of thousands of Xia Erlang were filled in, so that Wu Sizang was subdued, and the Central Plains Dynasty garrisoned troops on the plateau for the first time to stabilize the southwest border of the dynasty.

Although this guy is a rebellious person, this person is obviously a life-saving person, and there is no reason to leave the safest and most comfortable Hexi without leaving, so he has to try to climb the Snow Mountain.

So, there's definitely something wrong with that!

"Sichuan Zuobu political envoy Liang Zhendong sent a secret performance in an expedited manner for 800 li, and Lima Bara secretly entered Sichuan, until the Lizhou Pacification Division sent an urgent report, and the political envoy Si Yamen knew that the Wusizang delegation had been in the Lizhou Pacification Division for some days."

Xia Shouzhong was also speechless, the Sichuan political envoy, as well as the resident dragon guard yamen, should be hung on a tree and whipped with a barbed whip.

There were so many people in the embassy in Wusizang, including special people such as the national teacher Alima Bala, and the entire Sichuan government yamen, large and small, did not even know when they went to Lizhou.

According to Liang Zhendong, the sudden appearance of the Wusizang mission in Shu may be related to western Sichuan and northwest Yunnan, after all, the people there have always believed in Lamaism. Liang Zhendong realized that he was worried that the assassination of Alima Bara would cause a change in Wusizang, so he wanted to ask the imperial court to send a large army to Sichuan to prevent Wusizang from leaving the plateau. ”

He secretly scolded the waste and urged Jia Cong to go to the imperial tent: "Hou Ye, let's go to the imperial tent quickly, the emperor and the adults have been discussing for an afternoon, but they still can't think of any good way." If this Wusizang is reversed, not to mention the Western Regions and Hexi, those Tusi in the southwest will have to be ready to move. ”

"It's not that an exaggeration, there are still 30,000 elite people stationed in Chariba (now Lhasa), and Zhang Dehai, the minister stationed in Tibet, and Le Xin, the chief military officer, are both well-known capable people. If there is any change in Uszang, the two adults will definitely send the news to the capital. Since there is no news so far, that's good news! ”

If it was before, Jia Cong would still be worried that Wu Sizang would suddenly rebel and insert the Central Plains Dynasty.

But now......

Heh~ Even if the East India Company's men and horses are counted, Daxia can suppress them.

The emperor has been staring at Wu Sizang, not because he is afraid of his rebellion, but because he is worried about interrupting the new policy plan that the dynasty has finally implemented.

As long as it can be delayed for two or three years, the new deal is on the right track, and Wusizang dares to jump like this, and the army of the capital will be sent to the plateau by Wuyang and Wuyang.

This is the confidence that Jia Cong has brought to the emperor with the powerful firearms in recent years, the plateau is majestic, and the warriors of Wusizang are brave, and they are vulnerable in the face of the strong strength of the dynasty.

The grasslands in the north have been fighting and killing the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years, and the scimitar has not been defeated by the flintlock pistol?

"Chen Jia Cong visits ...... Yu"

The emperor planned Jia Cong's salute and pointed to the empty seat in the front row on the left.

"Alright, sit down and talk...... Lin Qing, you continue. ”

Lin Ruhai gave his little son-in-law a look, coughed lightly and continued: "According to the original plan, the household department will transport grain, salt and other materials in batches in the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth years of Yuanyou, and set up aid stations in Hexi, Sichuan, and Yunnan to take in the people who escaped from the plateau......"

The household department is not short of money now, and Master Lin feels that his waist is harder than anyone else.

The opening is an investment of 10 million taels of silver for three years, and it is planned to hollow out the corner of the wall of Wusizang step by step.

The military officials on the side were stupid, if they really did this, within three years, most of their military exploits would have to run to Lin Ruhai's mouth.

"The minister has already calculated with Cao Dudu, for a period of three years, the soldiers of the Dragon Praetorian Guard can at least rebel against twenty percent of the Wusizang slaves!"

Hiss~

Jia Lian's eyes widened, and he took a deep breath with Niu Jizong and other military bigwigs.

Twenty percent? This is really digging the foundation of Wu Sizang, and when the time comes, the imperial court only needs to train and arm these slaves, and the capital does not even need to send a large army over.

The emperor nodded, this idea was still pondered by the old man of the sage.

Don't think this plan is rough and naïve, when the country was founded, the grandfather of the former dynasty attacked most of the capital for ten days, and finally let people steam pot after pot of big meat buns, and forced the enemy to cry, took the initiative to capture the monarchs and ministers of the previous dynasty alive, and opened the gate to the emperor Taizu.

The most terrible thing in the world is hunger. If a person is hungry, what can't he do?

Lin Ruhai talked eloquently, and finally added: "But before that, the imperial court can no longer reward Wu Sizang with money and grain." Moreover, it should be used to answer the sin of disrespecting the Celestial Empire and cut off the mutual market between the national dynasty and Wusizang. In just half a year, Uszang will inevitably be short of food to the extreme......"

The Chinese Wu Wu nodded in agreement, and Lin Ruhai added that this point was the most important. As far as the current situation of Wusizang is concerned, as long as the Central Plains cuts off the mutual market with them, not to mention any luxury goods, even the most basic grain and salt, Wusizang will not be able to achieve a self-sufficiency rate of 30%.

This is thanks to Jia Cong's potatoes and corn, the Celestial Empire has had abundant food in recent years, and the high-level officials of Wusizang looked at it, the price of grain in the Celestial Empire was cheap......

They used a large amount of beef and mutton, fur and medicinal herbs to trade with the Central Plains, resulting in the almost absolute ban on people willing to farm on the plateau.

In addition, Lamaism has a tradition of burning grain, and today it is burned in the sky, and tomorrow it is burned by a certain Dharma king, which makes it impossible for Uszang to save much food.

Of course, they will definitely stay to store a little food, after all, the living Buddha and the Dharma King also have to eat.

As for whether the slaves would go hungry or not, when did the nobles of Uszang pay attention to those "lowly untouchables".

What Lin Qing said is very true, but although this plan is good, it will take time to implement. Now that the Wusi Tibetan National Division has been assassinated in the Central Plains, the imperial court has to come up with a charter no matter what it says. In case it is really as Zhang Zhendong said, Wu Sizang took advantage of this to turn the opposite, and the imperial court must always have a countermeasure. ”

Stability is above all else, and the emperor is most concerned about the implementation of the new policy now.

"What else is there to say about this, let my old cow go, and definitely let those who are hidden by Wu Si smash the obedient ......"

Niu Jizong waited for the emperor's words, got up quickly, and slapped his chest.

It's a pity that he is not the only one who wants military merits, including Jia Lian, and the rest of the martial arts generals are not happy.

"Why are you surnamed Niu...... Your Majesty, let the minister go, the minister is younger than the surnamed Niu, he is seventy years old, I'm afraid he won't even be able to climb up the war horse......"

"Mother, who are you talking about? Lao Tzu is obviously only sixty-eight! ”

The emperor's tent instantly became lively because of these big bosses, and the emperor was helpless, and none of these old goods made him worry.

"Shut up!"

He knocked on the table and turned his gaze to Jia Cong: "Jia Cong, let's talk about it, do you want to send a large army over?" Or do you think otherwise? ”

Niu Jizong and other old handsomes who were scuffling together instantly became well-behaved, and looked at Jia Cong with a look of hope.

"The minister thinks that one person is enough, so why do you need to send a large army and waste money and food in vain!"

"What? What did you say? One person? ”

Niu Jizong immediately shouted, he felt that Jia Cong was talking big. Of course, those who have this idea basically account for ninety percent of the Chinese martial arts.

However, the emperor became interested in Jia Cong's opinion, raised his hand to stop Niu Jizong's noise, and asked, "Tell me carefully, who is this person?" And how? ”

Jia Cong arched his hand and said: "The young master of the crown prince and the right capital of the imperial history Xu Jin, only one person can reach an army of 100,000, which will definitely make Wu Sizang dare not make the slightest move!" ”

The strength of the national dynasty is actually clear to the top of the Wusizang leadership, even if it hastily pulls up hundreds of thousands of troops, it is impossible to get any benefits.

Even if their national teacher, the Living Buddha, was assassinated in the hinterland of the Central Plains, they would shout a few times under the pretext of seeing if they could get any benefits from the imperial court.

As for the real rebellion, I'm afraid that those nobles who have been used to it are not very reluctant.

"Your Majesty, my lords, Wu Sizang doesn't dare to really do anything with the imperial court, unless the Xiyang Yi people can send more than 100,000 troops to help them, otherwise they will shout at most, thinking that as before, the imperial court can compromise and give them a reward."

Jia Cong said categorically: "What we have to do now is to let Uszang understand the difference in strength between the plateau and the Celestial Empire, and at the same time be able to deter the high-level Qincha of Uszang." ”

Xia Lingxing, the assistant minister of the cabinet, was moved, but he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at his snow-white long beard.

"Alas, it's a pity that the old minister is old and his legs and feet are not dexterous, otherwise this matter is none other than the old minister!"

Jia Cong smiled and arched his hand towards the old man: "You should be strong and strong, little Wu Sizang, and you are not qualified to let your old man go out in person." My teacher has been in a hurry lately, and he has long been unpleasant to see the people of Uszang, so he asked him to go for a walk on the plateau. ”

"Qingteng is indeed a good candidate, both civil and military, it is most suitable for him to go."

Xia Lingxing, as the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has sent envoys to many countries on behalf of the heavens, killed the lord of the vassal country with the heart of disobedience, and cut off the foreign minister who has a rebellious bone, and belongs to the group of civil officials who can fight the most, and has always liked to use the sword to talk to the vassal country about the righteousness of the monarch and the minister.

In dealing with the issue of the vassal state, He Yaomin, the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Xu Jin, Jia Cong's teacher, are similar to him, and the three of them can be regarded as a perfect alternation of old, middle and young.

He Yaomin is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and it is not easy to go out of Beijing.

However, Xu Jin has recently been impeached by various attacks by people who oppose the New Deal, so it is better for him to go out and relax......

With the recommendation of Xia Lingxing, the cabinet assistant, the rest of the ministers in the account naturally would not work against the cabinet elders, and naturally seconded the proposal.

Only Wu Xun saw that his military exploits were about to be gone, and he looked at Jia Cong with resentment.

"Grandpa Niu, Uncle Li...... Don't look at me like that, the battle is definitely going to be fought, but not now. As you know, altitude sickness alone can kill a lot of people, so we should train our soldiers now, and in three years...... No, maybe in less than three years, 100,000 troops will be able to go to the plateau and completely merge Uszang into the territory of Great Xia! ”

Jia Cong really didn't coax them, even if there was the rebellion of the Dragon Guards and Lin Ruhai's "bun tactics", if you want to completely control Wusizang, a large army is indispensable.

The emperor tapped his fingers twice on the table, stopping Wu Xun's arguing.

"This matter is so decided, let people pass Xu Jin over, Jia Lian, Jia Cong ......"

"The minister is here!"

"Jia Lian, you personally went to the forbidden army to pick people, picked out five hundred elites, and prepared to escort Xu Jin out of Beijing and into Tibet. As for you...... Refine your ideas and send them to me by noon tomorrow. ”

The emperor originally wanted Jia Cong to follow, but then he pondered that this would not work, if this kid went to Wusizang, what if he poked a big hole in the sky?

And Jia Cong has to go around the island next year, which has been scheduled a long time ago. He can believe that Wang Ziteng will not rebel, but if he believes in it, there must be someone to keep an eye on it.

The emperor paused, and ordered the ministers in the imperial tent: "The matter agreed upon today is a top secret of the country, and there must be no rumors, otherwise it will be punished for treason." Ladies and gentlemen, although Wusizang is barren, it is the foundation of stability in the southwest of the country, and it must not be lost. Yiren is eyeing the tiger, Zhu Qing must not be careless, I encourage you and all you! ”

"Ministers obey the holy will!"

……

By the end of the Imperial Tent Council, it was already completely dark.

But Jia Cong still didn't go back to rest, but stared at the emperor in the bright imperial tent.

The fresh vegetables offered by Cai Xu Village really made the emperor, who was a little upset, feel good, and after finishing dinner with Jia Cong, he asked Jia Cong and Daiyu about their experiences today.

When he heard that Caixu Village, under the guidance of Daiyu, had become the richest village within a radius of 30 miles, and had also cultivated three national eunuchs to exempt students, the emperor was relieved, and he also became interested in this method of poverty alleviation by taking advantage of local advantages.

It's a pity that the miracle of Cai Xu Village is not easy to imitate, and the hot spring water alone is a rare existence.

"Wen'an's girl is worthy of being my daughter, and she has lived up to my teachings. Big companion, pass on the decree, give Wen An a golden order, no matter what she wants to do in the future, the hundred officials must not stop her. ”

The emperor pondered for a moment, and suddenly summoned Xia Shouzhong: "There are too many vegetarian people in the middle of the court, and they can't compare to a little girl who has not yet reached the end of the day, which is really disappointing to me." Let Wen An be ashamed of them, I also want to see what kind of miracle this girl can bring to me! ”
