537 A bumper grain harvest

Just as Chen Mo was coaxing the bear child, Ye Yiren came over: "Husband, good news."

When they heard the good news, all the women gathered around to hear what the good news was.

Chen Yu, who was held in Chen Mo's arms, suddenly stopped crying, stretched out his white and tender little hand, and said to Ye Yiren in a childish voice, "Ye... Aunt Ye, I... I want to hug, I want to hug."

"Okay, Aunt Ye hug." Ye Yiren still favored Chen Yu very much, and handed him over, shaking him, and said, "There is a bumper harvest of grain in the north, and you will get six million hundreds.

Jiangnan has more than that, and he gets 900 grains."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

It must be known that in the state of Chu, one Hu is equal to one stone, one stone is equal to ten buckets, and one bucket is equivalent to twelve catties of grain, that is, one Hu is equal to one hundred and twenty catties of grain.

6 million hu, equivalent to 72 million catties of grain.

Jiangnan, where the land is more fertile, has an additional 3 million hu.

How many people have to be fed.

Good news, that's really good news.

It is conceivable that if such good news is announced to the world, the people of the whole world will be happy.

Isn't the reason why the people rebel is that they can't eat and can't survive?

But whoever stutters, the people will not rebel.

The world will be at peace.

And this is the effect of the implementation of the New Deal.

The ministers of the court, when they learn this news, will definitely be convinced by the new policy, so as to promote the new policy more widely.

"Yuelan, bring your clothes, I want to enter the palace." Chen Mo said happily.

When he left the palace, he also told Ye Yiren to write a letter and send it to the southwest, so that the defenders of Fuyou City should pay attention to vigilance, and don't let Nanzhou come over at this time and launch a raid on the country.

Before entering the palace, Chen Mo deliberately went to the Zhenxi Wangfu to tell the good news to the Zhenxi King.

But King Zhenxi also had his own source channel, and when Chen Mo found him, he also happened to come out of the Zhenxi Palace, and walked towards the palace together.

Both of them had the same idea, it was time to attack Southern Zhou.

The backyard of the Mobei Palace.

Ning Yuelan looked at Chen Shu, who was playing in the mud in the yard, but she didn't care, but her face was worried.

Lin Jiu'er teased Xiao Chen Yi, giggling in her mouth, seeing Ning Yuelan's expression, she couldn't help but laugh for a moment: "Sister Yuelan, what's wrong with you?"

As Ning Yuelan's own sister, Ning Yuelu naturally knew some of her sister's thoughts, and said, "My sister is worried about her husband."

"Worried about your husband?" Lin Jiu'er was stunned for a moment, Fujun is now in the capital division of Chu State, the first person who deserves to be the first, and hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in the city, what is there to worry about.

Du Zijin took a step forward and looked into the distance: "There is another war."

「???」

Xiyue, Xu Miaoer, and Bai Shuyu lack some political acumen and don't understand how this matter has anything to do with the war.

This sentence is going to war again.

Where does this come from?

Nangong Jinse replied: "The reason why the husband sent troops to the country, in addition to helping the concubine, another point is to open the nearest road to attack the Southern Zhou, and it has been more than a year since the road was opened, and the reason why the husband has not attacked the Southern Zhou is that the treasury is empty.

Now there is a bumper harvest of grain in Jiangnan and Beidi, and self-sufficiency can be achieved in places such as Xijie and Fengzhou, that is to say, the imperial court can collect grain from Jiangnan and Beidi, and with the support of grain and grass, it can officially attack Southern Zhou."

Hearing Nangong Jinse's answer, Lin Jiu'er finally understood why she was worried about her husband.

Attack on the Southern Zhou.

For the Southern Zhou Dynasty, it was like a war to destroy the country, and it was natural that they would fight hard with the Chu State at all costs, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty had the help of the Human Sect.

At that time, it will be a real hard work, there is no way back, and the real life and death will be you.

And with Chen Mo's strength and identity, he will definitely go to the battlefield, maybe he will still rush to the front.

How could Ning Yuelan be

Don't worry.

In the court.

Chen Mo first told the good news of a bumper harvest in the south and north, and said that the state of Chu is now thriving.

When the ministers heard this, they all praised and applauded.

The bumper harvest in the south and north of the Yangtze River shows that the imperial court does not need to allocate money to go out to help.

And you can start collecting taxes, reducing the pressure on the treasury.

After all, everything in the Northland was in ruins before.

In order to restore stability and prosperity to the Northland as soon as possible.

In the past two years, a lot of funds have been allocated to the Northland, and the taxes of the Northland have been exempted indefinitely.

It's a big deal for the finances.

Jiangnan is already a rich land, and this year's grain harvest is bumper, so we can increase some taxes and fill the treasury first.

This is what the ministers think.

After Chen Mo finished speaking, King Zhenxi stepped forward and spoke.

The meaning expressed by the king of Zhenxi is that the reason why Jiangnan and Beidi can have a bumper harvest is due to the new policy, and praised the efforts of all officials to implement the new policy, and then said that the army is now strong and strong.

But more than a year of peace has made the army a little slack.

In the end, King Zhenxi and Chen Mo said in unison, "I ask Your Majesty to send troops to attack Southern Zhou."

It's coming, it's coming, it's finally here.

This is the thought that comes to the minds of the ministers at this moment.

An old minister stood up: "Your Majesty, by all means, the ancient and modern countries have just regained their vitality, and if we send troops in this matter, once we are defeated, it will shake the foundation of the country, and the efforts of the new policy will be ruined in one fell swoop."

The old minister's words were echoed and approved by many ministers.

They did not form a party, they were purely thinking about the country.

Now that the troops are dispatched, they are indeed in a hurry. net

Of course, it's not that they don't want to fight.

Instead, I want to fight two years later, and wait until the national strength recovers.

Chen Mo also knew that fighting two years later would be beneficial to the Chu State.

But it is also beneficial to the Southern Zhou.

At that time, Nanzhou will not only fully recover, but will also show its fangs, and if it starts a war at that time, it will be a real tough battle.

However, the court is what Chen Mo and the king of Zhenxi say, and the reason why there are officials like the old ministers is mainly because Chen Mo doesn't want to make the court his own hall.

This kind of development is beneficial to the state of Chu.

After some debate, Chen Mo proposed a vote.

In the end, Chen Mo crushed the group of old ministers with an absolute advantage and chose to send troops.

Because it takes time to transfer the grain.

The plan of the attack should also be drawn up in detail.

In the end, the time for the dispatch of troops is set for the beginning of the next year.

Of course, during the period before the departure of the army, Chen Mo did not just sit, but disguised the shells and gunpowder from the gunpowder factory as goods and transported them to the southernmost city of Chu State, Maple Leaf County, in the form of a caravan.

He also wrote a letter to Yue Guo and asked Xu Lie to start making arrows for archers, no less than 100,000 arrows.

And ordered the Shenji Battalion and the South Town Fusi.

During this time, make as many firebolts as you can.
