Chapter 338
After listening to Jinbatu's words, Sang Du was still dubious.

The good thing came so suddenly, it can't help but make people doubt, is there a fraud in it?
500 million taels of silver, 50 shi of grain, is it as simple as asking yourself to assign civilian husbands to help build roads?
How could the Ming court be so kind?

In Uzbekistan, the unity of administration and religion has always been practiced. When a war is needed, all the people are soldiers. For Sangdu, only one order is needed to recruit civilian husbands to build roads. Such a simple thing can be exchanged for money and food from the court. It is cost-effective and cannot be more cost-effective.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial edict arrived.

It was Yu Qian, a cabinet scholar who came to announce the decree, and this team was the leading group of the Uzbek New Deal just formed by the imperial court. Because Qian led the team, dozens of capable people were drawn from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Academy of Sciences. Fan's entry into Tibet was mainly to guide Uz-Tibet to implement the New Deal.

When Sang Du saw the great seal of the emperor's treasure, as well as the official seals of the cabinet, the supervisor of ceremonies, etc., the doubts in his heart were completely dispelled.

"May I ask the envoy, the imperial court really promised to give money and food, where is this... money and food?"

Sang Du was very excited, the money and food were really given!
It's just that I didn't see it, where is it?
Yu Qian glanced at him and said unhurriedly: "Money and food will be given, but not now."

"That... when?"

Sang Du felt a little guilty, he couldn't be joking with me, right?

"It is clear from the imperial decree that this money and food is used for the new policy of Uzbekistan. Every expenditure must be researched, discussed and verified by the official's leading group. For example, the 500 million taels of silver are mainly used to expropriate civilians. As for the construction cost of the railway from Jingzhou to Chengdu, as for the 50 shi of grain, it was rewarded to you by the imperial court, as long as the railway is repaired, it will be allocated immediately."

Sang Du pondered for a long time. The Ming court was very cunning. Although they agreed to give money and food, they set up many clauses to prevent him from taking the money and food casually.

But, you gave all the money to the civilian husband, what should I do?
You can't let me go to repair the railway with everyone, right?

The food is for oneself and can be controlled by oneself, but it has to wait until the railway is repaired. When will this wait?
I am short of food now, otherwise what would I eat?
Seeing Sang Du's puzzled face, Yu Qian continued: "His Royal Highness Chanhua, don't worry, the emperor is very pleased to hear that Wu Sizang has voluntarily requested a new deal. He specially approved [-] shi of grain, and it is on the way. The rest, We have to wait until the railway is repaired."

"That's a good thing, I thank the emperor for his grace!"

When Sang Du heard that he would give [-] shi first, he was immediately overjoyed.

Yu Qian suddenly changed the topic: "But..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Sandu seemed to be frightened and almost jumped up.

Yu Qian waved his hand and said: "King Chanhua, don't worry, the emperor will definitely give it if he says so. It's just that the imperial court is short of people to deliver food, so His Highness needs to send troops to meet it."

"No problem, how many people are needed, go now!"

"About 10 people are needed."

"Then... how much do you need for road repairers?"

"At least 20 is needed, the more the better!"

Sang Du quickly calculated that he happened to have 20 combat troops and [-] civilians in his hands.

This is too coincidental, right?

Originally, they planned to rely on these people to fight Daming to the death, but now, the main force has become a logistics supply team, and the civilian husband has become someone else's.

He began to mutter again in his heart, if these people were mobilized and really went out to transport food and build roads, in case Daming turned his back on his promise and sent troops to fight over, he would have to fight himself immediately.

But... don't you agree?
They gave so much money and food, why didn't they agree?
Sang was very conflicted. He was worried that this was a trick of the Ming court, but he was reluctant to see the money and food that he was about to get. For a while, he didn't know what to do.

How could Yu Qian fail to see his careful thinking? Before they left Beijing, they had already discussed that all the soldiers and horses of Wu Sizang must be mobilized.

Otherwise, I will give you money and food if you have soldiers pressing down on the border, I don't feel at ease!
There are only two ways in front of you now, either, be obedient, remove the soldiers and horses, and work for me, of course, I won’t let you do it for nothing, give money and food, hello, hello, hello everyone .

Or, you just fight to the end, let's fight and see who can have the last laugh.

The choice is in your hands, whether to cooperate or fight, you choose yourself!
Sang Du couldn't see the way of the Ming court, after thinking about it, after thinking about it, this imperial decree was issued to the world, so it shouldn't be cheating.

After all... the emperor's face is more important than anything else.

Since they promised to give money and food, they must not break their promises, otherwise, wouldn't it make the world laugh out loud!
Thinking of this, Sang Du shook his head and said, "No problem, the food delivery team can start immediately, and 20 civilians will go to Chengdu Mansion in batches within a month!"

Finally, he chose to cooperate.

Because a war is bound to be lost, Wu Sizang's only hole card is to rely on his own poverty and want to touch Ming Dynasty.

I can't beat you, but I can disgust you.

Anyway, I'm poor, you're not afraid of getting your hands dirty and dragging down your own development, so come and beat me!

But, in the final analysis, war is also for one bite. Now that people enjoy food, why should they risk their lives?

After figuring out this section, Sangdu also felt relieved.

Come on, smash me to death with your silver and food!
Yu Qian nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's very good, please trouble King Chanhua to prepare!"

"Excuse me, the envoy..."

Sandu's tone of voice changed at this time, with a forced smile on his face.

Yu Qian asked, "What advice does His Royal Highness King Chanhua have?"

Sang Du approached him with that smiling face that was uglier than crying, and said: "The holy envoy came here this time to guide U-Tsang to launch a new policy, but the people have all gone to Chengdu to build roads, and U-Tsang's new policy How should it be implemented?"

Yu Qian was a little calmer, and said in his heart, this guy finally got the point.

"His Royal Highness King Chanhua does not know that the implementation of the New Deal by the imperial court involves all aspects, and road construction is only one of them. Let's just talk about road construction. Has Your Highness ever thought that this is a railway that requires a lot of steel, stone, and wood? When the Railway Bureau purchases these raw materials, on the one hand, it must pay attention to quality, and at the same time, in order to save transportation costs, it usually uses local materials..."

Sang Du asked impatiently as if he had been enlightened, "That is to say, the railway from Jingzhou to Chengdu can also buy raw materials from Wusizang?"

Yu Qian nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly!"

A smile bloomed on Sandu's face, this time, it was a smile from the heart.

It turns out that this is the New Deal!
