I am the prince in the heavens

Chapter 215
After the retreat of the armies of the Liao and Liao Dynasties, the world ushered in a short period of peace, but most people knew that the peace would not last long. After two consecutive defeats in Beimang, they would definitely not be reconciled. It was foreseeable that In the future, [-]% of Bei Mang's young and strong will be forcibly recruited to join the army.

And Liyang, after Zhao Kai's return, will also start to prepare for the future war. Unlike Beimang, Liyang has a large population, almost five times that of Beimang, but it is impossible to be the same as Beimang. All the people are soldiers, and the standing army is 150 million, which is already a bit stretched. In the future war, Zhao Kai is still planning to take the elite route.
Calling dozens of land gods is no worse than an army of 50.

During the month of returning to Tai'an City, Zhao Kai also ushered in a busy time, mainly for the compensation for the dead soldiers and the rewards for the meritorious service of the soldiers, plus the supplies consumed by the war, which directly made him The treasury's money has shrunk by a small half, which means that more than half of the money used to fight the local tyrants is gone.

There is no way, this is how money is consumed in war, otherwise how can the enthusiasm of soldiers be mobilized.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, because of the policy against Bei Mang, all the ministers were arguing like a vegetable market.

An old minister said:

"Your Majesty, I think that I have only experienced a few fierce battles in Liyang, and I should cultivate myself now. You must know that fighting is dangerous. Besides, even the Great Qin Empire can't conquer Beimang. I'm waiting to be reborn, please Think twice, Your Majesty."

As an old civil servant in Liyang, seeing that Zhao Kai paid so much attention to generals and despised civil officials, these warriors were obviously dissatisfied when he gave so much money to him. For a long time, civil servants dominated military officials, but Now, the situation seems to be reversed.

The military officers were getting more and more power. On the other hand, the status of scholars like them plummeted. Not to mention that several ministers were confiscated one after another, and even the fat jobs in charge of water transportation were directly handed over to the Ministry of War.

After the old official finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the emperor on the dragon chair. Seeing that the emperor's expression remained unchanged, he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Julu sitting on the chair. He saw that Zhang Julu was drinking tea calmly. Bigger.

Loudly said:
"My majestic Liyang Dynasty should govern the world with benevolence and filial piety. I hope that Your Majesty will restrain his warlike heart and cultivate and live with the people!"

As soon as this remark came out, many old Chen echoed it. They have always been good at Confucianism's rule of benevolence and filial piety.

However, the person who had a seat in the court hall did not say a word. Zhang Julu drank tea calmly, Huan Wen dozed off, Yuan Benxi fell asleep immediately, and Qi Yanglong asked for leave directly, and the seat was still vacant.

At this time, a young man below spoke.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Lord Yao's words, I dare not agree with you. Since ancient times, Beimang has been my confidant in Liyang, and the barbarian in Beimang has always wanted to put me down in Liyang. Victory is a great opportunity to pacify the troubled times with one stroke and achieve great success for thousands of years."

The young man who spoke was Sun Yin, a rookie from Liyang. He was young and vigorous, and he was still worthy in the face of veterans who were several rounds older than him.

When the old minister saw being bullied by a young man, he immediately became angry and said:
"Confused! The old minister is not saying that he will not fight. Your majesty, what you mean is that your majesty is still young, and the court has just experienced a war. It is completely possible to cultivate and live for a few years. After that, food, grass, money and silver must be prepared. How much food is there in your local area?" Can the sky grow?"

"Bullshit, you old guys are greedy for life and afraid of death. Obviously, Beimang came to beat us first. If we don't do it, do you think they won't do it? Don't make preparations now. If Beimang kills Tai'an City, Just wait to regret it!"

At this time, the general of the Ministry of War also stood up and spoke:

"Your Majesty, we have seized a large number of cattle and sheep in Beimang earlier, and we can slaughter them and dry them as military rations. In a short time, food and grass will not be a problem at all!"

"How long can I eat these things?"

·······
The quarrel intensified, and in the end even the sleeves were rolled up. If they were given weapons, they would probably start a fight. There was no grace at all.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Kai looked at all this with some amusement. To be honest, if he had just ascended the throne, he would definitely have transferred that old guy surnamed Yao to the border to let him have a good experience of war. of feeling.But now Zhao Kai will be much more peaceful. After all, he is only expressing his opinions in the court, and he has not committed any crimes. Dare to speak up?
Cough
A light cough brought an abrupt end to the quarrel, because the cough came from Zhao Kai who was sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Kai said softly:
"What's the point of making such a noise? Yao Aiqing's words are not unreasonable, but the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing. Even if I want to fight a few years later in Liyang, the other party will not give up. There is no need to discuss this matter again! Zhang Zaifu ?”

"Chen is here!"

Zhang Julu stood up in response to the sound and bowed.

"It's up to you to coordinate the deployment of the Liyang army and the food and grass. You must prepare the food and grass needed for a million troops to fight for a year within a year! The Ministry of Households will fully cooperate. If you don't have enough money, you can allocate it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Julu didn't talk too much nonsense, and accepted the order. As the head of the officials, this kind of thing would naturally fall on his head.

"Dean Yuan?"

Huan Wen pushed Yuan Benxi, who was already asleep, with his hand. During this time, Yuan Benxi, the dean of the Inspection Institute, kept clamoring to resign, saying that he was too old to be qualified for such an important responsibility.

However, Zhao Kai directly chose to ignore his resignation memorial, and didn't even look at it, because now he really can't find a suitable person to be the dean, and Xuanyuan Jingcheng can't do everything, right?

For Zhao Kai's ignorance, Yuan Benxi began to show up in the court, and did not express his opinions. Facing the impeachment of his colleagues, he was too lazy to defend himself, and fell asleep directly afterwards, even more than Huan Wen, who dared to sleep in the morning court , and the only one who has not been punished is Yuan Benxi.

Yuan Benxi woke up in a daze, saw everyone was looking at him, got up unsteadily, and said:
"Go back to Your Majesty, the minister is here"

"In the future, the focus of the Inspection Institute's work will shift from Liyang to Beimang, and fully investigate the movement of Beimang. I want to know the number of troops in Beimang and the deployment of troops!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Yuan Benxi sighed, he bowed in response.

"Go back!"

Zhao Kai stretched his waist and left without paying attention to the group of people below.

"Let the avatar come over next time!"

Not long after, Zhao Kai in casual clothes was drinking tea calmly on the second floor in the Jiujiu Pavilion in Beijing.Since returning to the capital, Zhao Kai likes to come here alone to sneak in some leisure time. Of course, sometimes he also brings Zhang Gaoxia with him. The only emperor who dares to come out without a guard and without any disguise is Zhao Kai.

Aunt Hong, the proprietress, immediately rolled her eyes when she saw Zhao Kai, and said:

"Your Majesty, you come here too often, can I still do this business?"

Chen Yu on the side also pursed his lips and smiled.
