After Spring and Autumn

Speaking of this, Bai Gui ordered someone to spread a huge map on the main hall, and then pointed to Yizhou and said.

"Besides, Yizhou is currently under construction, and it will cost a lot of money and food, and now Master Wen proposed to build a city in Guanzhong and renovate Taolinsai. These are the most urgent things."

"If calculated in this way, we can basically guarantee the balance of revenue and expenditure. If we start large-scale construction of water conservancy projects and water conservancy facilities at this time, then our finances may fall into a situation where we cannot make ends meet."

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at Bashu, and said with a cautious expression on his face.

"Bashu is also a strategically important place. We need to concentrate on taking down Bashu first, and then operating it as a granary. This will be of great help in future wars, and it will also help stabilize Chu and Qin."

After Bai Gui finished speaking, he stepped aside and didn't make a sound. It was obvious that all the problems were here. There was only so much money, and he was basically doing what he could do, so what Mo Di raised was not his. Don't want to do it, but can't do it.

At this time, Mo Di raised his own point, took a step forward and saluted, and then said.

"Water network construction and road construction are beneficial to people's livelihood. The training of soldiers can be postponed. At most, it can delay the process of unifying the world. If we are fully prepared at this time."

"A one-time investment can make Han no longer worry about this matter in the next few decades or even hundreds of years, and it can also greatly increase grain production, which is beneficial to business. It can be said that it is a one-shot count."

Liu Xiatuo was dissatisfied when he heard this, he immediately took a step forward and vetoed it flatly.

"If we don't expand our troops at this time, will it be impossible for him to unite with other vassal states to attack us Han again after the civil strife in Jin is over? Lord Mo, you are obviously throwing everything at the bottom when you say this."

Mo Di didn't give in at all, and spoke in a tit-for-tat manner.

"With the current strength of our Han country, even if other vassal states want to attack, they have to weigh whether they have such capabilities, so they have nothing to fear, as long as the strength of the Han country grows stronger."

"Then when the time comes, we will raise a million soldiers and go straight north, and all the princes of the world will surrender. Only in this way can we minimize the losses of our South Korea, but all of this must be based on the strength of the country."

Liu Xiatuo is also a character who refuses to admit defeat, and he is about to speak again when his neck gets stuck.

Meng Di stretched out his hand to stop him, and after thinking for a while, he turned his head and said to Bai Gui.

"Master Mo's idea is very good. Since it is a good thing, we must do it. Just now, Master Mo also said that only when the country is strong can other princes submit to it. What he said is very reasonable."

"Since the national treasury is a little tight now, I will fill in the shortfall from my private treasury. The treasury will also find a way to save some money, so that things that benefit the country and the people cannot be delayed."

"Otherwise, dragging and dragging slowly will become empty talk, and the southern land is full of water networks. If these projects can be completed according to Master Mo's words, it may increase the revenue of the national treasury."

"It's settled like this, and it's normal for the court to express their opinions to each other. Don't have a dispute of loyalty, otherwise, it will appear unseemly."

After he finished speaking, he took a look at Liu Xiatuo, then rubbed his temple, and said.

"The current situation is not as tense as you said. Qi has taken the lead in completing domestic reforms. Although it is not as thorough as ours, the effect is remarkable."

"Under such circumstances, Tian Chang killed his own monarch again. He was afraid that we would make a move at this time, so he tried his best to win other vassal states to side with him."

"Now the civil strife in the Jin Kingdom may continue for a while. Even if their civil strife is over, I don't think the result will be any better. Such a large vassal state is actually controlled by three big clans."

"The king of the Jin State is already a display. What is there to be afraid of? As long as we don't make mistakes, the Jin State will only decline step by step, and they will compete with the Qi State for the remaining vassal states."

"So at this time, it is better to be still than to move. Whether it is step by step, attacking, or directly attacking Jin, we all need to be fully prepared. If we want to fight, we must win. Otherwise, it is better not to fight. Don't rush out troops."

These words mean that he agrees with Mo Di's statement, preferring to be more stable, but never aggressive.

After arranging these things, Meng Di specially found Liu Xiatuo, and said with a cold snort after meeting.

"Have you stayed in Gumi City for too long? So the way of thinking and doing things has returned to the state it used to be? We are a country now, and we are not going out to block roads and rob for business."

"Your identity is different now. You have led troops to fight outside all year round. Don't you understand some things? What is wrong with what Mozi said?"

Liu Xiatuo didn't have any temper in front of Mengdi, after hearing this, he shook his head helplessly and said.

"Actually, I don't have any objections to him. I just feel that the security of the army and even the country is guaranteed. He wants to reduce the supply of the army for no reason. After the news spreads, what do those soldiers think?"

Meng Di immediately laughed when he heard this, but the expression on his face was somewhat dissatisfied.

"I don't think those soldiers are dissatisfied, but you generals are dissatisfied. After two battles, your military achievements have already been softened, so if you want to start the war as soon as possible, you should take this opportunity to fight yourself. Mention your title again."

At this time, Liu Xiatuo showed some uncomfortable expression on his face, scratched his head lightly, and smiled embarrassedly.

"You can't hide anything from my lord. I really think so in my heart. After all, we were destructive on the battlefield before and successfully defeated the Jin State and the coalition forces of the princes. Their strength is nothing more than that."

"To put it bluntly, as long as we use our existing soldiers and horses and fight them one by one, it won't take long to complete the unification of the world. It doesn't take much effort at all."
