Section 51 Provinces

"Oh, which two would you like to invite to go with you to Mobei?"

Yuan Zhen himself came forward and was willing to take on this responsibility, which is actually the most appropriate.

Because he also knows that the emperor's original favorite candidate is him, if he doesn't come forward to take it now, when the emperor later approves that it is still himself, he can't have the courage to do anything.

Li Xu nodded, and now among the ministers who followed him in Taiyuan, the most suitable person to be the Uighur envoy was Yuan Zhen.

When an envoy has several particulars, the first is to be loyal enough, and the second is to have a smooth wrist, both of which are possessed.

Another rule is that the status should not be too high, otherwise it will be a serious loss to the imperial court if it is captured by the Uighurs and brought Su Wu to shepherd the sheep with one hand.

Yuan Zhen is now a figure in the emperor's inner circle, and it will be a big deal if something happens to him.

Therefore, the emperor was ready to meet the plan proposed by Yuan Zhi first, and then proceed to make up the rest of the plan.

"Weichen wants to invite Na Luoyan Guoshi and General Yan San to go with the minister. ”

These two people, the emperor smiled, this Yuan Zhen's level of comprehension of the spirit of his superiors is really high.

Guangming Sheng and Jing Shenghui led this part of the Uighurs who believed in Manichaeism, and Na Luoyan was in Mobei in the bloody past, even the identity of a monk could not be tolerated by the Uighurs who believed in Buddhism, let alone those Manichaean feuds?

Li Xu asked himself, if he changed places and became Guangmingsheng, then he must have been looking forward to Dayu and the Uighurs day and night, and what to talk about quickly, regardless of whether the two sides were true or not, first maintain the apparent peace.

Guangming Sheng's mother, Jing Shenghui, is so low, and the purpose of being small is just that.

Now that the Dayu envoy returned to the Uighurs with a live artillery battle, would it be able to stabilize the Uighur side? Even if Guangsheng was willing to maintain the seemingly stable situation between the Dayu and the Uighurs.

But when Narayan returned to his hometown and saw this old enemy and new enemy who had taken refuge in Dayu, how long could those Uighur nobles with deep pain endure it?

The Uighur tribe was not monolithic after a civil war, and if the effort to maintain stability between the Uighurs and the Great Yu and the long-aged hatred between the two sides collided, a little spark would be enough to blow the already divided Uighurs to pieces.

There is no better soldier to surrender without a fight.

As for why he brought Yan San.

In fact, the reason is very simple, now the tentacles of the prison envoy have been expanded in Mobei, and the Uighurs have been grazed on horseback after so many years of invasion of the steppe Silk Road, and the mercantile culture has been integrated into the bones of the mercantile culture.

The Uighurs are now in a situation where everyone is thinking about their way out. This has become the best opportunity to raise the prison envoy to extend in Mobei.

By now that Dayu had established a small intelligence network in the north by co-opting the upper Uighur ranks, the information coming from there was becoming more and more valuable

Shan Shang Yansan, the person who raised the prison envoy, will also have a better understanding of the situation in Mobei.

"Yes," Li Xu nodded and promised: "I can satisfy you what you say, then Master Luo Yan will go and make it clear to him for you." ”

The emperor had already seen in his request that the emissary's strategy was to take advantage of the contradictions within the Uighurs to once again increase their differences and to stir up a raging storm within the Uighurs.

As soon as the candidate for the envoy to the north was finalized, Li Xu heard Han Rui, who was now in charge of military work, complaining.

"Your Majesty, the grain in the Hedong region has risen sharply in recent days, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to gather the grain needed for the army to fight in ten months. ”

The emperor nodded, in fact, this is also an economic law that cannot be challenged.

Although the water and soil in the east of the river are relatively fertile and the basin is continuous, it is really a disaster after several tosses before Dayu. Moreover, the yield per mu in the north of Taiyuan is even more low, and it depends on a part of animal husbandry to survive.

This was not the place to provide food for the army in the first place.

Although Han Rui sent a part of the elite to turn back to Guanzhong before, and most of Wang Baochen's men and horses also stayed in the river, this open mouth, especially the loyal army from the Shence Army under Yu Fuguo, still has a lot more mouths to eat.

Now the Uighurs may take a risk at any time, and it is not the time to let go of their hands and put their own internal affairs in order, so they have to drag it out like this.

The current situation in Dayu is that the taxes of Guanzhong, Henan, Hedong, Shandong, and Hebei, which are the traditional elite areas, cannot be paid on time, and basically have to be left to the local government as the cost of raising soldiers.

In addition to the monopoly of salt and iron, the bulk of the fiscal revenue mainly depends on the local people's power in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's almost pumped there now.

Li Xu can sweep thousands of armies with the strength of one person, but martial arts is not a divine skill, and he can't feed tens of thousands of troops with five loaves and two fishes.

In the situation that Han Rui said, Li Xu had no choice.

"Divide some people and horses to eat in Henan. ”

Yuzhou is located in the middle of the world, and has always been the capital of the emperors of all dynasties, even Li Xu has the idea of moving the capital to Luoyang.

It is difficult to find the old poetry emperor of Henan to deal with similar problems, and a considerable part of the unusable soldiers and horses have been sent to Luoyang before, and it is no problem to send some of them now.

"Now you begin to move the grain to the clouds, at least enough to sustain a thousand cavalry to eat and chew on the horses. The Emperor instructed Han Rui: "This is the first priority at the moment. ”

"Do you want to send a letter to Bai Yujing and ask Li Xiang to think of a way?"

Although Li Jifu did not really meet the emperor, he had already presided over various affairs of the imperial court with Han Gang and Lu Zhen.

The three of them worked closely with each other in the previous two generations of emperors to help the Dayu court complete the reform of the fiscal and taxation system, and today the troika has returned to the throne, although the times have changed, but Li Xu still has a considerable degree of trust in these old ministers.

They and Dayu are already two sides of the same coin, and they have already won and lost.

"No need, Langdarma has just wreaked havoc in Guanzhong, and it is not easy for the imperial court to maintain the crusade against the traitor of the Yufu Kingdom. Li Xu looked at Han Rui: "Some things are better for us to solve by ourselves." ”

Tian Hongzheng sat on the ground and sat on the side.

The news that the emperor was going to set up a platform in the east of the river had blown several times, but in the end it was not really implemented, and Tian Hongzheng thought that the most important thing was that Li Xu had not yet chosen a good candidate.

In fact, looking at the actions of the emperor after he seized power, most of them were still delegating power at the local level.

For example, the land of Bashu, which was originally divided into two sections, was managed separately, and now it has been merged into one, except for the establishment of a separate government in Hanzhong under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, Jiannan Dongchuan and Jiannan Xichuan have been practiced together.

The entire land of Bashu to the west of the Three Gorges was personally controlled by the emperor's confidant Li Congxian, whose authority exceeded that of ninety percent of the world's jiedu envoys.

Dayu's routine policy is to suppress the feudal towns, and divide the original feudal towns as small as possible, taking the Hezhong Jiedu envoy as an example, although it is also a town Jiedu, but the territory under his command is small and pitiful.

Now the emperor is doing the opposite, whether it is pioneering and innovating, or raising tigers, Tian Hongzheng has no way to judge, but one thing can be said to be very certain.

Today's Dayu Tianzi is by no means a person who holds the incomplete, and he has his own judgment on the general trend of the world.

This is also the reason why Tian Hongzheng is here.

He was very confident in the future of the imperial court, so since he could not be an enemy of him, he should first be a friend of him.
