key to come

Ji Nanxian said hastily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two said sonorously.

One article and one military, all sat on chairs.

Both of them are veterans of the three dynasties, and both have this qualification.

Qi Guogong is a centenarian. As we all know, the generations in many places are very confused. For example, Qi Heng is the third son of Qi Guogong's youngest son and his youngest grandson, so the age gap between the two is a bit big.

The last time Qi Guogong gave birth was 46 years old, and he is also growing old and strong.

"Fuck...the teacher is here too..."

Standing behind Liang Zan, Shen Lang couldn't help but feel that this court meeting was a little tricky.

Because of what, Qiuwei?

It can't be that the princess repents and doesn't want to give herself the right to manage the store.

"That's why I said, what you did yesterday was big enough to shock many people." Liang Zan said solemnly.

"I want to talk about a big event at this court meeting." Ji Nanxian said with a serious face.

Everyone stood there with solemn faces, for fear of missing any details.

In the eyes of some civil servants, Shen Lang is a scourge. A group of veterans on the battlefield will be stunned by a single poem. Looking at the morning court, maybe the time for the expedition will be set.

"It's been more than a year since the son-in-law passed away, and I'm so sorry. Princess Yourong was harassed by demons today. I pity my beloved daughter and plan to let her go to Laojun Temple to practice." Ji Nanxian said with a look of emotion.

Princess Yourong is going to Tianzong?

This is a big deal for Shen Lang!

He was extremely impressed with Princess Nana, it's a pity for this kind of woman to marry a short-lived one.

Everyone is a little speechless, we have waited for so long, is this what you want to say?

Obviously, neither the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty took this matter seriously.

If it were normal, it would be a big deal for Princess Yourong to become a monk, and the Ministry of Rites would have to rush out to discuss it.

It's a pity that Ji Nanxian's timing is too good, and everyone's attention is on the next battle.

"Since everyone has no objections, then this matter is settled." Ji Nanxian said with satisfaction.

The thing promised to You Rong has finally come true, let her go to repair the relationship, anyway, Tianzong is safe.

Tianzong is the only place in Chang'an where he has not placed spies. The people in that place are too easy to control, and all the men are interested in the Tao, and no one is interested in women at all.

In terms of safety, the head of Taoism is the number one master of Taoism, and there will be nothing wrong with him.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

The eunuch yelled as usual, even though he knew that today's posture was not without incident.

"Chen, Qi Yu, I have something to play."

"My lord, please speak."

"My lord, please order the Northern Expedition Rouran!" Qi Guogong said sonorously: "Rouran has repeatedly violated the border, and the people at the border are suffering. This is the first! Neighboring countries think that we are weak and can be bullied, and they don't respect me. This is the second! Back then when we were self-reliant, we took advantage of our internal chaos and took advantage of the fire to loot, the third!"

"I think that my time is numbered, I can't destroy Rouran, and I can't rest in peace when I die!"

"Grandpa." Grand Master Xiao stood up: "Northern Expedition Rouran, it's not that simple."

"I think that the Northern Expedition to Rouran has failed to achieve success. It may not happen overnight if you want to take Rouran completely."

"My imperial court can mobilize 20 elites, and people eat horses and chews. How much military expenditure, food, and medicine will be required?"

"Hmph, the opinion of a scholar!" Qi Guogong snorted: "Master Xiao, you have lost the bloodiness of the past. Where is Xiao Xiaowei, who went out of the Great Wall to shoot and kill General Rouran alone?"

"The frontier is already bitterly cold, and Rouran is still harassing day and night. The people at the border are miserable and desperately want to leave Youzhou. In a few years, won't my Youzhou become a place of death?"

Shen Lang was thoughtful.

No wonder Tiandi Xuanhuang was able to develop in Youzhou. It turned out to be the reason.

Indeed, it is very difficult to incite good people, but it is too easy to incite people who are worried all day long.

What they want is simple, just to live.

"If there is not enough food in the past two years to go on an expedition, it only takes a few small things to make the court's progress difficult." Grand Master Xiao said sonorously: "The lives of the people in Youzhou are their lives, and the lives of the people in other places are not their lives?"

Ji Nanxian knew that the quarrel at this time would be endless, so he resolutely began to shake people: "The facial features are upright, what do you think?"

Chapter 178 Not short of money?

Brush brush.

Countless eyes focused on Shen Lang.

Grand Master Xiao and Qi Guogong both looked forward to it, and both felt that Shen Lang would help them.

It is definitely not that simple for His Majesty to ask Shen Lang to go to court. This son has unique insights into many things, and maybe he can give a good solution for this matter.

Even if his method is wrong, he is just a small seventh-rank official anyway, if he is wrong, he is wrong, and the Confucianism and the Mohists will protect him.

"Shen Lang, I'm calling you." Liang Zan was speechless.

Can this guy still not remember his official name?

Shen Lang was still thinking about Nanai the eldest princess, but when he heard that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, he hurried out.

"Shen Qing was thinking in place just now, but has a countermeasure?" Ji Nanxian asked.

"Here, Northern Expedition Rouran..." Feeling the burning eyes of the teacher and Duke of Qi, Shen Lang felt his head hurt.

I just gave someone a poem yesterday, so I can't turn my face today, can I?

He was just pretending to be a B, how could he pretend that something happened while pretending to be a B?

Besides, what I wrote was words, not Rouran's strategy for the Northern Expedition...

Recently, he occasionally went to study with Grand Master Xiao, and he also knew that the art of war is not that simple, especially this kind of foreign war. The current cultivation system alone makes him confused about the war of this era.

Think about it, what kind of sparrow warfare, guerrilla warfare, this can't be used at all!

After going out, it was others who were guerrillas and harassed. If we dare to play like this with an army of 20, I am afraid that nothing will come to nothing.

Fly high and look at the top view?

Even King Yan couldn't guarantee that what he saw was true, who knew what kind of trap the wizard over there had set up.

The second rank is not unique to Dazhou, there is a second rank wizard in Rouran.

"I feel that what Grand Master Xiao and Duke Qi said are both reasonable, what we want to think about now is not whether the Northern Expedition is or not, but how to ensure the logistics supply that Grand Master Xiao said under the circumstances of the Northern Expedition." Shen Lang chose neither side. Offended: "If you can't do this, then you can't do the Northern Expedition."

Grand Master Xiao nodded: "I also feel the same way. If there is enough food and supplies, this battle can be fought, but now we don't have enough supplies at all. Fighting this battle may drag down the court."

"Grand Master Xiao obviously didn't understand what he meant." Qi Guogong snorted: "What he means is that this material is handed over to you to figure out a way. What does the household department do? We are bleeding for the country, and you even feed us Can't even cook?"

The Minister of the Household Department came out and said with a wry smile: "This year's natural disasters in the two places will affect the autumn harvest, and we need to save food for disaster relief."

"All disaster relief is needed. Thank God that the tax money can be collected, and it has to be spent on..."

Listening to the Hubu Shangshu's words one by one, Shen Lang was secretly startled, there are too many disasters at this time, right?

In fact, it is the same in modern times, but modern materials, transportation capabilities, and execution capabilities are definitely not comparable to this era.

"Okay, okay, so if you don't fight this year, go to the head office next year?" Ji Nanxian waved his hand and said impatiently.

The civil servants present were obviously stunned.

They had never seen such a brazen person!What we said is that we can't fight next year!

The income of the court this year can be said to be negative, but will it be better next year?A year's accumulation can't restore the vitality consumed by the last war, so support the new war!

"Hey... I am getting old, I can wait this year." Qi Guogong stood up: "Your Majesty's order, I will live well until next year, even if I die, I will die in the battle of Rouran." On the way! For me, it is a disgrace to die of old age on the sick bed!"

"Your Majesty, next year's affairs can be discussed next year." Grand Master Xiao said: "Wait until next year, maybe there will be a bumper harvest everywhere?"

"Grand Master Xiao's statement is absurd." Taiwei Sun came out: "It is because of the Northern Expedition next year, so we have to start preparations this year! Medicines, war equipment, food and grass, military pay, all these must start preparations this year, otherwise Grand Master Xiao must know what the consequences will be."

"Ahem..." Tai Tuo came out: "Other things can be prepared, but food and military pay, I'd better trouble the Taiwei to find a way. It's best to wish that there will be no slaughter and no trouble next year."

"The Taifu instructed the prince, and the prince left the palace privately, which shows that the Taifu has neglected his duty." Sun Taiwei said with emotion: "Educating the prince is not good. At this time, let me be a Taiwei to buy food, grass and ordnance, which shows its ability .In my opinion, Tai Tuo is old, and it is better to return to his hometown after his old age."

Except for the Hubu Shangshu's miserable sales, those who can speak are the real top-level ones, and the six ministers are not qualified enough.

Hearing this, Shen Lang was not happy. He took a decisive step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Mr. Taiwei has done nothing except provoking and asking questions. I think that the most important thing is to solve the problem now. Instead of throwing the pot around."

"Huh!" Sun Taiwei turned his eyes: "I endured you last time, did I really think I was a vegetarian? Your Majesty, this person has committed the following crimes, and he deserves to be punished!"

"This imperial court was originally a place to talk freely and solve problems. When did it become a place to show off your qualifications? If someone is old and whoever is superior, then don't take the imperial examination in the future. The older you are, the more official you will be. Let's see who can live. "Shen Lang sneered and said: "Master Taiwei, I respect you as a Taiwei, so I didn't make things worse."

"If copied..."

"Shen Qing." Ji Nanxian said: "You said the Taiwei didn't do anything, so do you think you can solve this problem?"

"The minister has proposed the food reform bill last time." Shen Lang said: "This is at least a part of the solution to the military ration."

"A bounty of one thousand."

"I didn't mean that." Shen Lang shook his head, expressing that he didn't give enough.

Ji Nanxian was thoughtful, he always felt that Shen Lang had other ways to get money, and he didn't know where his confidence came from.

No, this kid is a master who doesn't see rabbits or hawks. He only has money, practice, and women...

His business is doing well now, and he won't be short of money for the time being. He has to find a way to make him short of money.

That blueprint...

Forget it, give it to Mo Mei, and promise to make him jingle poor.

"Your Majesty, what the Five Senses Baozhang is saying is exactly what the old man wants to say." Grand Master Xiao stood up and cast a glance at the Taiwei: "I do not deny the achievements of the Taiwei, but he is just like Qi Guogong said. It's been too long at ease."

"Grand Master Xiao." Qi Guogong said in a deep voice, "It's really disrespectful for the Taiwei to argue with a young man."

The Taiwei choked.

It's just a word, as for?

"However, Grand Master Xiao said that the Taiwei has been at ease for too long. I don't agree with this statement. If the Taiwei hadn't been dispatched by the last Northern Expedition, I am afraid Rouran would have taken advantage of the loophole." Qi Guogong continued.

Immediately afterwards, a new round of war of words began.

Shen Lang couldn't help feeling a little regretful, why couldn't he copy the Taiwei's house?If I am asked to ransack the house, I promise to take good care of the young female relatives in Taiwei's Mansion.

Chapter 179 Straight

After the court, Shen Lang followed behind Grand Master Xiao, and whispered: "Teacher, this battle really cannot be won."

This time, the early court did not discuss the reason, and the pressure on both sides has been put on. Some are civil officials who feel that a fight will shake the foundation of the country, and some are veterans who want to fight again to open up new territories.

No matter which side is right, it depends on how the emperor decides.

If you can't get together the military expenses and go out forcibly, it's not impossible to fight, but what if you lose?

This matter can't be settled in a day, it's not bad if it can be settled in a week. This is what Ji Nanxian has been thinking about.

"Don't even think about it with the current financial resources." Grand Master Xiao shook his head helplessly: "This will shake the foundation of the country."

"Hmm..." Shen Lang always talked about great national unity, but what he always thought of was killing the surrounding countries, expanding the territory, and leaving more territory and capital for future generations.

"Shaking the foundation of the country..." Shen Lang understood that since Grand Master Xiao said so, it should be impossible to fight: "Unless you are very rich?"

"Yes, this is not something that can be solved with a few thousand taels or tens of thousands of taels." Grand Master Xiao said in a deep voice, "I know you have a lot of tricks, but if you want to top up the treasury, a little money is useless."

"Don't worry, teacher, I won't overestimate my abilities." Shen Lang said casually.

If His Majesty doesn't give me money, how can I give him advice?

Anyway, Ji Nanxian's achievements have nothing to do with me. Why don't you get yourself a general or something when Ji Yunzheng is in power, and make achievements on the battlefield to see if you can become a duke.

"Little friend."

At this time, Qi Guogong came to Shen Lang's side: "Last time you proposed improved farming in the court, so that the people would work harder. It can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to you. You know that I am a veteran, I am afraid There is no chance to wait too long, this time the Northern Expedition must be brought about."

"Master Guo." Shen Lang smiled wryly and cupped his hands: "It's not up to me. If a country is fighting a war, it would be strange if I, a kid, can influence it."

"Huh, it's just a little more thought." Qi Guogong looked much older: "Little friend, His Majesty's lifelong wish is to prevent Rouran from becoming a problem for future generations. This is not something that an emperor can do. It needs to be done more." A lot of imperial effort, but we just want to do more."
