The vision of the red building is farther

It is a major event for the Son of Heaven to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for rain, and the Ministry of Rites is very busy with this, and dare not be sloppy in the slightest. After all, the drought in the Southwest is severe and no delay is allowed.However, all affairs of the imperial court were still in order, and it seemed that they were not affected by the drought. Emperor Zhenghe focused more on the invasion of Qianxiang Kingdom. "A small country dares to hit a stone with an egg." Emperor Zhenghe flipped the switch. This time, he did not teach Qianxiang to take advantage of it, but he did not win a big victory.

"Sooner or later, I will completely change the dynasty of this Qianxiang country." Zheng Hedi was unwilling, and there were all confidantes in the Nuan Pavilion, but they did not hide their ambitions. "To defeat the Qianxiang Kingdom, the navy must be strengthened, and now we need to be patient. The spies reported that the ministers, it seems that the Qianxiang Kingdom already knows about our movement, and is planning to buy warships from the Netherlands recently, and is also negotiating with the Netherlands. I am headed towards Taiwan Province and the Penghu Islands." Li Anhui, Minister of the Ministry of War, reported.

"The Netherlands is already ambitious, so it's not surprising that it colluded with Qianxiang Kingdom. It's just that I hate such a passive situation." Emperor Zhenghe frowned and said. "Your Majesty, I have an idea. We still need to hide our strengths and bide our time. It is better to use the barbarians to control the barbarians. On the one hand, it can contain the Netherlands and the Qianxiang country, and on the other hand, it can also give us breathing time." Lijun Wang said. , There was a sharp flash in the eyes.

"Using barbarians to control barbarians, this is a fresh idea, let's talk about it." Emperor Zhenghe narrowed his eyes, seeming very interested. "It's true that Qianxiang Kingdom is ambitious, and it's close to my dynasty, but in essence, it's just a vassal state of our dynasty. There are many vassal countries in our dynasty, but there is not only Qianxiang country. Has the Holy One forgotten Ryukyu? As for the Netherlands, I heard England, Spain, and Portugal all seem to have problems with them, we just need to operate properly, I'm afraid they are too busy fighting with each other before it's too late, so they don't have time to care about this." Li Junwang said in a deep voice, quite methodically. Come on.

"I think what Li Junwang said is reasonable." Liu Hongfei was the first to second, and then Li An also spoke. "I understand what you love, but we need to discuss carefully what we should do. Don't startle the snake, but let them unite as one." Emperor Zhenghe was quite satisfied with the idea of ​​Prince Li, and countermeasures were comparable to wars. The cost is much lower. "My lord, when Zheng He went to the West seven times, we can naturally do the same, communicate with him in the name of business, and take the opportunity to stir up conflicts between them." Hubu Shangshu said, but he was thinking about how to take the opportunity to get rid of these countries again. Make a fortune and scrape a layer of oil and water fiercely. As the saying goes, no business is not evil, and now Zheng Hedi is not the kind of person who sticks to face. Since he can make money, why not take the opportunity to make a fortune.

"Then leave it to the King of Lijun to handle the matter and draft the regulations." Emperor Zhenghe made a promise and settled the matter. "Observe the order." Lijun Wang agreed, and began to think in his heart.As for Hubu Shangshu, he has already begun to think about what to do to maximize profits.Jia Zhen could see what Shangshu Hubu was thinking. In the past, Shangshu Hubu was thinking about how to collect debts, but now he was thinking of ways to make money. This was really embarrassing for the old Shangshu Yun.The former emperor was a man who liked extravagance. He built many gardens and loved to lend money and rewards. He even brought a group of nobles to spend a lot of money on the treasury.Emperor Zhenghe doesn't like to enjoy himself, but Emperor Zhenghe is an independent monarch. The degree of spending money on reforms in this item can be similar to that of going out to build gardens, or even more. Even the subordinates had no choice but to actively open up new sources of income, even if the prices of property and fields confiscated by corrupt officials were not as cheap as they used to be. hard work and heartache.

The Minister of the Ministry of War is not necessarily much easier than the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. Although there are no traces of warships, the navy must be trained. After all, land soldiers and sea soldiers are completely different concepts, and there are still many naval soldiers who do not know how to swim. "The navy has the training method of the navy, and the army has the training method of the army. According to me, it is better to paddle Dongting Lake or Poyang Lake for soldiers to practice. This breath will not make you fat. Try it in the lake now, and then use it. Yangtze River, finally go to the sea. You still have some experienced veterans on hand, just ask them to start training this group of soldiers." Hu Ji and Li An whispered for a long time, and asked questions from time to time. Jia Zhen said.

"I think it's a good idea. Don't worry. You won't be able to get fat all at once. Take your time." Jia Zhen nodded, "We are too weak to take the initiative to attack now, so we should just turn from defense to offense. How about it?" It was as urgent as before." Jia Zhen said that the situation was during Emperor Wen Yuan's time, and now it is much better than before.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I just hope that in my lifetime I can see the day when our court is proud." Li An shrugged his shoulders and said. "Let's go, have a drink." Hu Ji patted Li An on the shoulder, pulled Jia Zhen by the way, and invited.

"Speaking of which, those foreign priests are really making a fuss recently." Li An didn't know what was going on, and poured a glass of wine for Hu Ji and Jia Zhen, and said, "I heard that some people followed suit. , Fortunately, there are few people now, otherwise, you would have made two enemies for no reason." The last sentence was looking at Jia Zhen. "At best, I'm just a pusher. If they don't have the ability, what does it matter to me?" Jia Zhen said, flicking her clothes. "I'm just telling you to be careful. You already have a layman in your family, so don't make another one. Brother Mao is in Jinling now." Li An still liked Jia Zhen's two sons very much, and couldn't help thinking Concerned.

"If that kid dares to do this to me, don't even think about entering the house." Jia Zhen smiled and said, he has taught his two sons and daughters a lot, if he can still be accepted by those monks The Taoist flickered over, so he had nothing to say. "Come on, Shu Qi, it's not like you don't know that the two boys in his family are spirited and eloquent, so they won't be easily fooled by others." Hu Ji said with a smile after taking a sip of his wine. "Just a reminder, I am optimistic about those two boys in your family. Li An smiled and said, "It's a pity that no one inherits the ancestral business, which makes me feel very sorry. "Come on, eat your food well, don't think about abducting his son to your military department."I think Mao Geer will probably be either the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of Officials in the future, or he will be released.As for Brother Wei, now that he is young, he can't see anything, but he has already been missed by the Minister of Industry.Find another one wherever you go, and bring it to your military department. Hu Ji said, throwing the dishes with a chopstick into Li An's dishes.

"It's a pity that his family members are too small." Li Jianan sighed pretendingly. "Okay, I won't join your military department even if I have seventeen or eight more children." Jia Zhen couldn't laugh or cry, and casually pinched an elbow of her own chopsticks, and said helplessly. "Speaking of business, the Ministry of War is about to start changing defenses. A lot of people have been laid off this time. I'm really worried that there aren't enough people coming up." Li An then shifted to business. "There is a fixed number of people. Now it's not as tight as it was before. How could it be insufficient?" Hu Ji was in charge of this area, so he couldn't be more clear, and he said suspiciously.

"I'm thinking about the meaning of the Holy One. I'm afraid we will attack the northwest and southwest. You know, apart from the Russian red-haired ghosts, there are many nomads in the north. It has been peaceful for a few years, and I am afraid that there will be trouble again. Son. Besides, the area in the southwest has always been in chaos. Miao people and Hui people are not the masters of peace. I just got the news of the riots in Miaojiang a few days ago. I reckon that someone there may have colluded with these guys, otherwise Why didn’t anyone report the small disturbances before. Although the Holy Majesty didn’t say anything, he only ordered the local officials and the army to pay attention, but the things that have been arranged in the past few days can be seen.” Li An lowered his voice and said .

"Although our cavalry has made progress, it is not the right time to compete with those golden men and Mongols on the horse. The north is no better than the southwest. Once the troops are sent, not only must the army go deep alone, but also run around. Supplies are a big problem. Now the Holy Majesty If you are not sure, you will not act lightly. It is just that the turmoil in the southwestern border and the severe drought are very difficult. If you are not careful, those supplies may be robbed by the rebels. Now the disaster relief team has set out, you I just received the definite news that if we send someone to intercept us, we will first startle the snake, and secondly arouse public resentment." Jia Zhen pondered for a while, then continued, "Since the Holy Majesty is suppressing, there must be his considerations, maybe he wants to It is necessary to catch them all once and for all. After all, this is a rare opportunity for military training."

"Don't think too much, this is the meaning of the Holy One. Who would have thought that the people of natural disasters would rush together. The Holy One was already very afraid of the Miao people and the Hui people, and they didn't restrain themselves, but instead made troubles all day long." Everyone was excited. Smart people, the meaning of Zheng Hedi is also very clear. If the rebels are safe and do not use disaster relief to cause trouble, then they will save the people before suppressing the rebellion. If the rebels cannot restrain the temptation of those supplies and rob the food, they will quickly Sending troops to quell the rebellion, even the people affected by the disaster will not be able to resent the court, but will form hatred with the rebel army. If this is the case, the foundation of the rebel army will be cut down, and the army will be able to act smoothly.

Part of the people exchanged for decades of peace in the southwestern border. For Emperor Zhenghe, he could make a choice without thinking too much.It's not that Li An never thought of persuading Zheng Hedi, but the Holy Majesty's decision has been made, and there is no room for comment. If the rebels really move, I'm afraid that the officials sent out this time will not escape death. Thinking of this, Li An secretly It was revealed to Jia Zhen and the others that if the accompanying officials were really talented, they should be recalled as soon as possible. "You can't do this kind of thing, and we can't do it either. It depends on their luck." Jia Zhen was silent for a moment before she said calmly.

"What's more, it's too late to do anything even if you want to do it now." Hu Ji picked it up, and there are some things that have to be done. "What I'm talking about is that people become a little soft-hearted after being at ease for a long time." Li An sighed, and said, "The candidates for countering the rebellion have been decided, and the current plan is to make a quick decision."
