Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Chapter 893 Advance Layout
"Husband, I miss you so much." Diao Chan pulled Xu Ding and walked towards the house.

"Husband..."

Big Joe and Little Joe followed suit.

Afterwards, Cai Yan also showed eagerness and anticipation.However, as the quasi-empress of Huaxia Kingdom, and has been taking care of the harem for Xu Ding, he must behave gracefully.

At such a time, it would be better for the sisters to be more gracious.

"Wen Ji." Xu Ding took a few steps forward, but stopped and looked at Cai Yan behind him.

"My concubine is here."

Cai Yan took a few steps.

Xu Ding pulled, and entered the living room with Diao Chan.

"During my absence, how are you doing?" Xu Ding sat down and asked.

"Go back to husband, it's all right." Cai Yan said.

"It's just being idle all day, it's just boring." Da Qiao said.

"Ha ha.."

Xu Ding said with a smile: "Since it's boring, why not invite people to come to the palace to sing, listen to songs, and watch dances, wouldn't it be great?"

"Isn't that good?" Cai Yan said.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Ding asked.

"The imperial palace is a solemn place, and it is in the harem, how can outsiders be allowed in?" Cai Yan was in charge of taking care of the harem, and had a special feeling for these things.

I usually take etiquette and rules seriously.

If any concubines and maids made mistakes, they would be punished.

As an empress-to-be who is in charge of the sixth palace, how could she know how to break the law and bring outsiders into the palace.

"Wen Ji, you are too serious." Xu Ding said with a smile: "As long as everyone is happy, why not listen to songs, watch dances, sing operas, and have fun?"

"Yes."

Cai Yan nodded.

Xu Ding was not used to being with the wives for a long time, suddenly put down what he was doing and hugged left and right.However, only this moment is the most relaxing.

No troubles, no wars.

Had lunch in the harem.

Xu Ding personally ordered and arranged for the opera troupe and song and dance troupe.

Don't underestimate these trivial matters. With theatrical troupe and song and dance troupe, the women in the harem will have things to do, so they won't make trouble for nothing.It can enrich Huaxia Kingdom's entertainment projects and serve multiple purposes.

As for these, the women in the harem are very happy.

Especially the big and small Joe, they have been complaining that the harem is boring.

This time there are theater troupes, singing and dancing, so it shouldn't be boring.

That night.

Xu Ding stayed overnight with Cai Yan.

The concubines all knew that Xu Ding liked and respected Cai Yan very much, so he granted him the right to be the assistant harem.Moreover, Xu Ding had already said that Cai Yan was the queen.

Although the sacrificial ceremony has not yet been performed, he already has a status.

It is only natural for Xu Ding to return to the palace and stay overnight at Cai Yan's place.

The early morning sunlight was exceptionally bright.

Xu Ding was still curled up under the blanket, too lazy to get up.

Dian Wei was already knocking on the door: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

"Husband, General Dian is calling you."

Cai Yan pushed Xu Ding.

"I heard it." Xu Ding seldom took a break, and really didn't want to call out.But for the sake of national affairs, we have to get up.

Cai Yan also stood up and helped Xu Ding get dressed.

"Let's go."

Xu Ding and Xu Chu went to Fengtian Palace.

The civil and military ministers have all arrived and are waiting in the hall.

Xu Ding took a look, and all the officials who could be called had come.

The generals in the army, all brigade commanders and above, stood in the hall.

Although their identities are not comparable to the high officials in the court, they are not comparable to ordinary officials.

Especially after experiencing the war with the Western Shang Empire, all of them have meritorious service.

Xu Ding glanced at him, waved his hands and sat down.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." All the ministers saluted.

"Flat body."

Xu Ding raised his hand and said: "Counting the time, we have not held a court meeting in Xuchang or in the main hall of Fengtian Palace for nearly two years. Today is the first time in two years."

"You ministers, civil and military, have made great contributions to winning the battle with the Western Shang Empire. I have said a long time ago that when the war is over, I will reward you for your merits."

"I'm in a hurry today, and tomorrow I will count your contributions and reward them."

After Xu Ding's words fell, the officials and generals in the palace all smiled happily.

They couldn't help thinking about what contributions they had made to Huaxia over the past two years.

How much credit do these contributions count as?

"Your Majesty, I think that the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds can be postponed for a while. Should the matter of Bashu and Xiliang be resolved first? I got a report a few days ago that Cao Cao has expanded his army to 20. He is known as the Iron Army of Yizhou, and his momentum is huge. Among them, 15 troops are all stationed in Hanzhong, condescending, and their intentions are unknown." Xi Zhicai came out.

"Cao Mengde is getting better and better. In just two years, he expanded his army by 20." Xu Ding chuckled a few times.

The more troops Cao Cao has, the better it is for him.

Because Cao Cao has no new weapons, artillery and firearms, he can't beat the army of Huaxia.No matter how many troops there are, they will become prisoners of Huaxia.

Xu Ding had a plan long ago, and Cao Cao's 20 troops were all his sources of troops.

In the future, the third and fourth groups may be formed, all of which will be obtained from Cao Cao.

"I believe that the Huaxia Kingdom is no longer what it used to be. No matter how many soldiers Cao Cao has, there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as His Majesty decrees, I only need two divisions to wipe out Sichuan, Shu and Xiliang." Jia Xu came out and said .

"No rush, no hurry..."

Xu Ding smiled and said, "Let's put this matter aside later."

"When I was in Jingzhou before, I said that there will be a military parade to show off the world. First, to give confidence to the people of the whole country. Second, to suppress the morale of Cao Jun."

"After the military parade, it is not too late to attack Sichuan, Shu and Xiliang."

"Of course, before that, I still need to count the credits of all of you, reward each one according to your merits, and establish the superiority and inferiority of everyone..."

For more than a year, Xi Zhicai has been very wary of Cao Cao's attitude.

Because he witnessed Cao Cao, from strong to weak, from weak to strong, expanded from 20 to [-] troops to [-], and even the Nanman army in the Nanzhong area was incorporated by Cao Cao.

In the past, Cao Cao would definitely be a big threat.

Even now, Xi Zhicai still doesn't think Cao Cao is weak.Really want to fight, or have the strength to fight.Don't forget, when the Huaxia Kingdom fought with the Western Shang Empire, didn't they have no firearms, and didn't they win?
Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and who can say clearly.

The court meeting did not last long.

Xu Ding inquired about the internal affairs of the states and counties, as well as the situation of the people in each state, and hurried away.

"Wenhe, Fengxiao, Zhicai, please stay here for a while," Xu Ding said.

"promise."

Wait for the courtiers to walk out of Fengtian Hall.

Xu Ding led the three of them to the imperial study.

in the library.

Xu Ding motioned them to sit down, and said, "Do you know why I want you to stay here?"

"Please speak frankly, Your Majesty."

"About Cao Cao's matter, I want to make arrangements in advance. There were too many people in Fengtian Hall just now. If I speak out, I may leak the news, so I ask you to go to the Imperial Study Room and do it in secret."

Xu Ding explained.

"Your Majesty is wise." Jia Xu asked, "I just don't know, how will Your Majesty plan?"

"It's simple."

Xu Ding said: "Cao Cao stationed troops in Hanzhong for two purposes. One, he heard that the Western Shang Empire had been defeated by our army, and the whole army returned to Xuchang to guard against us. Two, he wanted to use the superior force to Try to seize our new weapons. Because our battle with the Western Shang Empire has shown a strong combat power, which made him feel scared. And to defeat us, we must obtain guns and artillery. "

Xu Ding's analysis hit the nail on the head.

No matter how stupid Cao Cao is, he should have thought that the era of cold weapons has passed, and now wars require firearms and artillery.And these are exactly what he doesn't have.

If you want to win in future wars, you must try to obtain these.

Xu Ding continued: "Since Cao Cao wants to get these weapons, why don't we use weapons as bait to lure him into the bait?"

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai are all smart people who know everything.

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty's intention is to transport a batch of weapons and ammunition to Chang'an, and put on a posture to attack Xiliang. However, not many troops were sent, so Cao Cao took the chance to attack Chang'an, and then Shall we attack again and wipe out Cao Cao in one fell swoop?"

"Mr. said everything clearly." Xu Ding said with a smile: "That's exactly what I mean."

"Based on the combat effectiveness of our army, how can we have two divisions? As long as there is one brigade, we can hold on to Chang'an. No matter how many troops Cao Cao has, he will not be able to break through." Xu Ding said: "I have sufficient confidence that before Chang'an is breached , rushed to help in time, and surrounded and wiped out Cao Cao."

"That's a good idea."

Guo Jia continued: "Hanzhong and Sichuan are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we forcefully attack, it will be really troublesome. If we lead Cao Cao out of Hanzhong, he will not have any advantage in the decisive battle in Chang'an."

"That's right!" Xu Ding asked Xi Zhicai again: "Zhicai, what do you think?"

"The minister has no objection."

Xi Zhicai had long wanted to start a war with Cao Cao.

As long as Cao Cao exists, he can't sleep all day, as if he is choked in his throat.

Xu Ding has a strategy and is so thorough, of course he has to support it.

"it is good!"

Xu Ding said: "Since none of you have any objections, let's do it."

"Wenhe."

"Yes." Jia Xu took a step forward.

Xu Ding ordered: "I will leave this matter to you. After the military parade, transport the artillery and guns to Chang'an. At the same time, send an elite brigade to station in Chang'an. Just in case."

"promise."

Jia Xu agreed.

That night.

Xu Ding summoned the chief books of each army to count the military exploits.

Of course, the generals who made mistakes should also be counted.

Whether it is merit or demerit, it must be liquidated.

Only when rewards and punishments are clearly defined can discipline be strict.

Xu Ding worked all night.

It didn't end until the early morning of the next day.

Through careful calculation, the generals who need to be rewarded range up to the commander of the group army, the ministers of the DPRK and China, Xi Zhicai, Guo Fengxiao, Jia Wenhe, etc.There are more than 700 people down to the county guards, brigade commanders and regimental commanders.

That's a huge number.

Xu Ding was taken aback.

So many people have to be rewarded, and the expenditure of the treasury is also very scary.

"Did the data come out?" In the imperial study room, several officials were hard at work. Xu Ding asked after drinking his morning tea.

"Return to Your Majesty, the data has come out, and the treasury has spent a total of 4000 million yuan." After saying this figure, several officials couldn't help but wipe their sweat.

That is to say, the Huaxia Kingdom with a big family and a big business, if Cao Cao, it is estimated that he would not even be able to reward his ministers.

Anyone with a slightly weaker national strength will be rewarded and poor.

"Hoo hoo..."

Xu Ding heaved a sigh of relief, picked up a notebook, got up and said, "Your tasks are completed, you all step back."

"promise."

The officials backed away.

Xu Ding took the sorted out credit book and went to Xi Zhicai's place.

Before rewarding the officials, he had to figure out how much money he wanted. Don't say it out loud, but it would be embarrassing if he couldn't get the money out.

early morning.

Military Department.

Xi Zhi just woke up, sorted out the documents of the Military Aircraft Department, and prepared to go to court.

Suddenly seeing Xu Ding coming, he came out to greet him: "Your Majesty..."

"The Military Aircraft Department is in charge of the affairs of the world, including the expenditure and income of the national treasury. You should know how much money we have right now?" Xu Ding walked into the lobby of the Military Aircraft Department, sat down and asked.

"Is Your Majesty going to check the accounts?"

"No. Let me tell you the truth. Last night, several officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and I sorted out the list of rewards. Do you know how much it costs to reward officials at all levels? It's more than 1 million! I'm worried that the treasury can't afford it, so Let me ask you, how much money do we have?"

After Xu Ding finished speaking, Xi Zhicai couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Our Huaxia Kingdom has not reached the point where we can't even pay for rewarding officials."

"As far as I know, I have 14 million yuan in the national treasury, all of which are available funds. This does not include the finances of the states in Hebei and the states in the Central Plains. After all, there are hundreds of millions of dollars."

"so much?"

Xi Zhicai's answer surprised Xu Ding.

When did China become so rich.

still is
Xu Ding was a little worried, and asked, "How did the money come from? Did we print it ourselves?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. However, please rest assured, Your Majesty, every time we print money, we only start printing according to the financial statistics of each state without affecting prices. So far, the control is very good. Prices in Hebei , only increased by two points, and only three points in the Central Plains." Xi Zhicai said.

Xu must be worried that blindly printing new money will lead to inflation.

I didn't expect Xi Zhicai to handle it so well.

Although I didn't check it carefully, but from what Xi Zhicai said, it seems to be good.

"During the war, it is normal for prices to rise a bit. However, your military aircraft department must control prices well and not blindly print new money. This will not only fail to strengthen financial resources, but also make our currency lose credibility. I say this , can you understand me?"

"I understand." Xi Zhicai replied, "About the prices and the new money for publication, each time, aristocratic families from various states are summoned, and after careful calculation, they are published. There will be no problems."

"That's good."

Half of Huaxia's finances are supported by aristocratic families.

The resources in their hands are countless times that of the poor.

Only with their support can prices be stabilized.

Xi Zhicai could think of mobilizing all the aristocratic families to establish prices together. As long as the aristocratic families agree, then there will probably be no problem.

"It's getting late, let's go to court." Since he had money to reward civil and military officials, Xu Ding felt relieved.
