The two returned to Xijing, regardless of the fatigue of the journey, sent someone to inform Heshuo and several other ministers, and rushed to the general's mansion. Xinchen knew that in order to solve the danger of famine in Dongtu, he must get Li Guang's strong support, so he chose the location of the consultation directly in the General's Mansion. Before entering the mansion, he saw Li Guang waiting outside the door from a distance, and it seemed that the general really knew his whereabouts well.

Xinchen walked up with a smile and said, "General Lao is waiting for you." ”

Li Guang said with concern: "Your Majesty has been in the dust all the way, hurry up and enter the mansion to rest." As he spoke, he turned around and personally guided him in front of him, and walked towards the house.

Xinchen was led to the guest room where he lived before, and then Li Guang looked at Chen Zhi beside Xinchen and said, "This Lord Chen..."

Before Li Guang finished speaking, Xinchen hurriedly continued: "Old Chen, just follow me to the guest room for a while." ”

Seeing this, Li Guang said: "It's okay, then Weichen will prepare first, and when the others arrive, I will send someone to inform Your Majesty." Then he exited the room.

After Li Guang left, Xinchen said: "Old Chen, it seems that Li Guang is very clear about our whereabouts." ”

Chen Zhiying said: "In this Xijing City, we probably don't have any secrets. ”

Xinchen was actually worried that Chen Zhi was too upright, and he spoke too much in the next discussion, so he reminded one or two, and then said: "Old Chen, I will state in the next discussion, and you try to avoid direct conflict with them." ”

Chen Zhi laughed and said, "Childe is still afraid that they will chop my old bones?"

After resting for a while, someone came, and the ministers had arrived, asking His Majesty to move the reception hall, and Xinchen took Chen Zhi with the envoy. Everyone wanted to salute, but they were stopped by Xinchen and said, "You don't have to be polite. The reason why I have invited you here in a hurry is because the situation is extremely urgent. Affected by the evil calamity of the imperial capital, we are building Xiongcheng everywhere we see along the way, and the already small labor force of our clan has been forcibly requisitioned and built by the magnates of various state capitals, so that thousands of hectares of fertile land have no one to cultivate. Everywhere they passed, starvation was everywhere, and the famine had reached an appalling level, could the secretaries have a good solution to this crisis?"

He Shuo straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, I have drafted the provisions of the land lease policy, and you can implement it after reading it, which may be helpful in resolving this crisis." ”

Xinchen looked at Heshuo and said, "Heqing, although this method is good, the current situation is not that there is no land to cultivate, but that there is no arable land. Then he turned to everyone and said, "In my opinion, the rebellion in the north has been settled, and the situation in the east of my country is still stable. And in recent years, our people have experienced several wars, and the people's livelihood has withered. What do the secretaries think if we dismantle part of the army, return the army to the people, and replenish the labor force for the people?"

Hearing this, Li Guang suddenly rose up and said: "Your Majesty, military power is the foundation of imperial power, if the army is weakened, I am afraid that the troubles in the states will arise again!" The rest of the people also echoed the voice, as for the famine of the people, no one cared about it.

At this time, Chen straightened up and mocked: "General, if there is no one to help you from the famine at this time, I am afraid that even our people will starve to death in the next year, and no one will have the strength to rebel, very good, very good!"

Li Guang was slightly angry and said, "Old horseman, what do you mean?"

Chen Zhiwei was not angry, and asked Zhengse: "General, in addition to returning the soldiers to the people and recuperating, do you have any other countermeasures?"

Li Guangdao: "The grass and fertilization in the Western Regions, since the internal worries have been settled, why not go west to the Han Valley and feed the people with war!"

Without waiting for Chen Zhi to answer, Xinchen got up and signaled, and continued: "General, when Mu Tianxia was in power, there were millions of soldiers, and he also sent three letters to the valley. Although every gain, but it can't hurt the root of the demon race, now that our national strength is declining, how can we go west?"

Li Guang's tone softened a little, and replied: "Your Majesty, according to the report from the spies, the Demon Lord is not in the Demon Capital of the Western Regions now, and the mysterious general of the Demon Clan is nowhere to be found. Wouldn't it be nice to have abundant yields in the Western Regions and feed the people of the Eastern Lands!"

Xinchen knew that the Demon Lord had gone to the fairy realm to find the soul revival grass for Ah Xue, as for the mysterious commander of the army, could it be Ah Xue? Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that his hairs stood on end, if this was the case, he really didn't know what to do when he met on the battlefield.

Li Guang saw that Xinchen was a little distracted, and reminded him: "What does Your Majesty think?"

Xinchen finally came back to his senses and replied: "If the report of the spies is true, it is indeed a good time to send troops to the Western Regions, but our clan is already full of holes at this time, and it can no longer withstand such a toss. At the same time, Xinchen secretly transmitted to Li Guang: "On this trip to the imperial capital, I saw that the Immortal Emperor had broken through the formation and returned to the immortal realm, and we must always be wary of the immortal realm." ”

Li Guang's expression changed when he heard this, the existence in the depths of the Emperor's Palace had given him great pressure, and hearing the news that the Immortal Emperor had broken out of the formation at this time still made him quite jealous.

Xinchen thought that this trump card could deter Li Guangxizheng, but he didn't want Li Guang to think for a while, but instead showed resoluteness, and secretly transmitted to Xinchen: "Because of this, it is even more important to fight quickly and quickly, so that you can pour the power of a realm to fight against the immortal realm!"

Li Guang faced everyone and said, "I have made up my mind, and it is imperative to send troops to the Western Regions!" After speaking, he turned around and strode away, leaving only Xin Chen and everyone who looked at each other.
