Chapter 195: Slow Progress
"Fighting a war must have a purpose, and the purpose is accomplished, no matter who wins or loses the war in the end."
Ye Yu opened his mouth and said, "Now that you have seen the changes in the capital, if you fight endlessly, can you do it?" ”
"That's ......"
Gongsun Ling'er nodded.
"It will take time, and after winter, I will need to know the grain production and the total population of the capital. You can't be in a hurry. ”
Ye Yu added.
"I understand, but what if Ye Lie suddenly calls again?"
"Didn't you say you gave him all the musket skills?"
Gongsun Ling'er said, her brows furrowed slightly, full of worry.
"Hahahaha, are you still worried about this?"
Ye Yu said with a smile, "Don't worry, if he calls now, he won't have many muskets, and if he wants a large number of muskets, he won't call now." ”
In the past few days in Ye Yu, Ye Lie has a great headache.
After such a fuss, Black Tiger's intelligence system was basically overhauled by the newly appointed White Bird.
Although the white bird can be the leader of intelligence, it is not as good as the black tiger.
It can be regarded as a run-in between the two sides.
This is one thing, and the other is the technique of the musket.
Under the research of the craftsmen and warlocks recruited by Ye Lie, these weapons, just by assembling an army of tens of thousands of people, would consume the entire copper and iron output of the Jia Dynasty.
If it is an army of hundreds of thousands, then all the copper and iron that the Jia Dynasty has hoarded so far will be consumed!
"Equip 20,000 men first, train well, and leave this army to you."
In the study, Ye Lie said to his henchman general, "You are the future generalissimo of soldiers and horses, give me good training!" ”
"Understood!"
The confidant general spoke.
"But if the black tiger runs like this, those vassal kings shouldn't be at peace."
Ye Lie spoke, "Later, I will let Shiratori spy on the state of King Gong and King Shun, you go to train the army first, and be ready to go to war against King Gong and King Shun at any time." ”
His fears were justified.
On the one hand, King Gong and King Shun have been privately recruiting troops, and on the other hand, with the joining of the Black Tiger.
At this time, King Gong's territory, in King Gong's study.
"How do I think you're here to trick me?"
King Gong frowned and looked at the lame black tiger.
He knew the Black Tiger.
If it weren't for this person's clear arrangement behind the scenes, I'm afraid he would still have room to fight.
"I'm locked down in the city, and there's no turning back."
The black tiger slowly spoke, "I know the Jia Dynasty, even the configuration in the Jingshi, and the musket. ”
"Muskets?"
"A weapon researched by the Southern Dynasty is quite powerful."
The Black Tiger said and pointed to his knee, "My knee was injured by this weapon. ”
"Oh?"
King Gong looked at the black tiger like this, and he really had a very important heart.
But he was afraid.
I am afraid that once I use the Black Tiger, the matter of privately recruiting troops and equipping weapons will be known by the Jia Dynasty.
His territory is not large, he does not have many soldiers, and his only advantage is that he is located on the coast, and he can trade with many foreign people.
"Your Royal Highness King Gong, I don't expect you to believe me, but if you unite with King Shun and King Anding, supplemented by muskets, you may not be the opponent of the Jia Dynasty."
"And I'm the intelligence chief."
Black Tiger is considered to have a "job", and he has put his old bottom into it.
Whoever let himself go in a hurry, the money village arranged in Jingshi didn't have time to make up a lot of money.
"Okay, if you let me have the strength to fight against Jia Chao, I will use you!"
King Gong gritted his teeth and planned to do the opposite!
After all, instead of being pressed so hard by the Jia Dynasty, it is better to give it a go!
If you can swallow the Jia Dynasty and have fun with Ye Lie, the little emperor, you may be able to stand alone in the world!
"You hand over the technique of the musket."
King Gong spoke, "I'll let the craftsman do it immediately." ”
"Okay, but I have a request, someone should send a musket after a while near the border of King Shun."
The black tiger spoke, "That kind of musket is more powerful, I hope Your Highness can get it." ”
"No problem, how much money do you need to build an intelligence network?"
King Gong nodded, it was a promise, if he had a musket in his hand, he would be able to oppose King Shun and King Anding together at that time, and he would have enough strength.
Coupled with the intelligence network established by the black tiger in front of him, he must be invincible!
After all, Liu Yuanshan is dead, and the only person who can control the national-level intelligence network is Black Tiger!
"If you rebuild an intelligence network of the level of the Jia Dynasty, it will be 30 million taels."
"If you simply establish an intelligence network in your territory under His Royal Highness King Gong, five million taels."
The Black Tiger spoke.
"I'll give you 20 million taels first, do this well."
King Gong went out, and he had a total of 80 million taels of silver, which he had secretly saved in the past few years.
"Obey orders!"
Black Tiger's face was filled with joy.
King Gong wasn't the first vassal king he visited, but he did really use his vassal king!
Subsequently, both Ye Lie and the various vassal kings began the stage of developing military affairs.
Ye Lie needed to ease the Jia Dynasty.
And others need to gather strength to rebel.
Only Ye Yu is purely developing.
After more than a month, summer has come to an end, and the autumn harvest is coming soon.
Ye Yu summoned all the important ministers of his future cabinet.
Gongsun Ce, Zhao Wanjin, Zhou Hao, Zhang Ye, Zhang Jian, Kong Yi, Zhang Detian, and Zhang Detian of the Military Department.
"I'm going to gather you, not just to know the progress."
Ye Yu said slowly, "It is also the reform of the court. ”
"How will the court change?"
Gongsun Ling'er leaned his head on Ye Yu's arms and asked.
"In the future, there will be no morning meetings, only quarterly conferences. Then there was a summary at the end of the year. ”
"At other times, report regularly, if there is something urgent, take the channel of emergency reporting."
Ye Yu explained, "There is time left to do things. ”
He felt that after this period of time and the current state of the capital, he could already do this.
What's more, with the secret guards there, he can know the status of the officials at any time.
"That's the first thing."
"The second thing, after the autumn harvest, began to tidy up the roads and extend them to the two cities in the north, and at the same time build the railway."
Ye Yu opened his mouth and said, "Map! ”
After a while, the eunuch took out a map, although the map was not very detailed, but it already had the location of important cities in the Southern Dynasty.
The capital is in the southernmost part, and the two closest cities to the north are Hucheng and Xicheng.
The west side of Hucheng connects Xishan Prefecture, and there are Xue Cheng and Gancheng to the north of Xicheng, and then there is a deserted city to the north.
"Rail traffic is temporarily established to Hucheng and Xicheng."
"The Bureau of Commerce, set up sub-bureaus in these two cities, and keep a watchful eye on the secret guards."
Ye Yu pointed to the map and said, "As for the capital, I want to carry out the next reform." ”
Everyone was very attentive and listened to Ye Yu's arrangement.
"Reform the imperial examination and education."
"This ...... I'm afraid it's hard. ”
Gongsun Ce said, "Son-in-law, you said that education can only be improved when there is an economic foundation, and the imperial examination ...... If you change to something else, the cost will be even greater. ”
