Chapter 437
Hong Yanran lived in the palace, she would go out every day, and she made many friends in recent days, she would play every day until the palace gate was locked before returning to the palace.

Ji Xun also knew about this matter but never took it to heart. He knew very well that Su Mianyue's personality would not allow Hong Yanran to play so happily. He also knew that Su Mianyue had her own principles of handling things, and would understand that everything should not be touched. degree.

The death of King Xiang came to an end temporarily. Although Dali Siqing and Jiumen Admiral were not demoted, they were warned by Ji Xun because of their fault.Moreover, two deputies have been placed beside them, apparently to share the official duties for them, but in fact they are a little bit overhead of their power.

As long as the two make mistakes again, or Ji Xun finds them displeased, and they are charged with a crime, their official careers will be terminated.

There is nothing the left minister can do about this matter. The newly arranged person appears to be a right minister, but in fact he is Ji Xun's confidant. It is impossible for the left minister to put himself in danger for the sake of two cronies.

For a moment, the Beijing officials were all in danger, afraid that they would be the next one to be unlucky.

"Ah Yu, let's go out for a walk today. The enthronement ceremony is just three days away. Don't you want to know how the people outside think of you, the new king?" Su Mianyue leaned over and took the memorial in front of Ji Xun. Close it, and invite it softly.

"Is Ah Yue bored in the palace?" Ji Xun scratched Su Mianyue's nose with a smile, and said dotingly, "Give me another half an hour, these memorials are urgent reports."

Su Mianyue stood up straight and went to the side to find a book to read. When Ji Xun frowned while reviewing the memorial, she knew that something bad had happened. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Ah Yu, what happened?"

"It's Wu Yuqing's report. The army has arrived at the border, but half of the grain and grass are filled with grass seeds, so I ask the court for support." Ji Xun's tone was light, but his expression was cold.

As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass arrive, but now that the war is imminent, the soldiers are starved of food. This battle has already been lost before it is fought.

Su Mianyue naturally understands this truth, but in the past few years there have been natural disasters in various countries, and food and grass are under strict control in turmoil in various countries. Even though Su Mianyue has business in various places, there is not much food in hand.

Moreover, Hengyuan Country's food cannot be transported at all, and most of the power of Tianlan Country has been handed over to Mu Ting, and there is not much food to be transferred. The food production of several other small countries is limited.

The only plan for the present is to find a way to transport the grain stored in Beichen Kingdom, but Beichen Kingdom is not a peaceful country, Su Mianyue dare not touch the forces there easily, and it is not easy to insert her own forces in there. easy.

"You don't regret that we have been storing food and grass in the past few years, but our secret army consumes a lot of food. If we want to support the front line, we have to deduct some from them." Ji Xun said and opened another memorial. Put Wu Yuqing's matter aside for now, and then think about the solution.

Su Mianyue thought for a while and asked, "The national treasury is short of food and grass, and the local governments don't have food and grass to call?"

"The grain and grass in various places are for storage. Once a large amount of grain and grass are borrowed, it will make the people uneasy. Now all the kings have the heart of disobedience. Once these people are used by them, the consequences will be disastrous." Ji Xun shook his head.

"Then let these lords donate food and grass." Su Mianyue tapped her fingers on the table and said, "The new emperor ascends the throne, and they, as clan members, will naturally offer congratulatory gifts. Why don't you take the initiative to say that this time, A Yu?" something good."

"You are really not afraid of my embarrassment." Ji Xun smiled, his expression became much lighter.

"I only know that being hungry is more uncomfortable than losing face, especially starving the army, it hurts more than slapping the face, and the consequences are not something we can afford." Su Mianyue pursed her lips and sighed: "I am I can adjust some food for you, but we will show our trump card now, if those vassal kings really turn against each other, there will be no way out. A Yu, our life is very difficult."

"I will definitely create a peaceful and prosperous world for you, so that you will have no worries from now on." Holding Su Mianyue's hand, Ji Xun said firmly.

Ji Xun knew about Su Mianyue's grain and grass, but he had no intention of using the grain and grass.

One is that Su Mianyue will not use these food and grass to raise troops, and the other is that Su Mianyue provides Ji Xun with a lot of food and grass every year. It is also because Su Mianyue did not have the disorderly price of grain during the natural disaster. The result of Mianyue willing to give up a lot of money.

"I believe in you." Su Mianyue smiled slightly, held Ji Xun's hand instead and said, "But we can't just rely on ourselves to prepare food and grass, we should let the whole country prepare together."

"Ah Yue means..." Ji Xun raised his eyebrows and asked.

"As an emperor, it is Mingjun's responsibility to care about agriculture and mulberry. A Yu, if you order that the common people grow high-yield grains, and besides paying taxes, the imperial court buys them at [-]% higher than the market price, what do you think the common people will do? How about it?" Su Mianyue scratched Ji Xun's palm and said, "The worst thing we have is money, but the common people are very short of money."

"Ah Yue is right, what the frontline soldiers want is to have enough food, even coarse grains are food." Ji Xun nodded and smiled.

"In addition to food and grass, there is also the matter of resettling veterans and remnants of the army. Those who win the hearts of the people and the hearts of the soldiers win the world. Ah Yu still has a lot to do." Su Mianyue sighed and stood behind Ji Xun to rub him Squeezing his shoulders, he said, "Ah Yu, if we want the officers and soldiers on the front line to fight with peace of mind, then we must let them have peace of mind. Many conscripts come from poor families, and their wives, children, and parents need us to resettle them. Only then can we have the determination to throw our heads and blood to defend our country, and the country will be stable."

"Ah Yue means that it is not enough to just pay the army?" Ji Xun knew this truth, but it was too difficult to implement, especially when the treasury was empty.

"Everything has to be done step by step. We can only fill the emptiness of the national treasury by ourselves. It's just that our ability is limited now, but there are still ways to let the people farm without worrying about the future and make the frontline soldiers feel at ease." Ji Xun rubbed his temples, and Su Mianyue said softly: "I have a few ideas here. A Yu may wish to consider whether it is feasible. After discussing with the ministers, he will announce it to the world when he ascends the throne. I believe that as long as you The common people support the monarch, even if those vassal kings want to rebel, they have to weigh some points, so that we can give us some time to enrich the country and strengthen the people."

Holding Su Mianyue's hand and letting her sit on his lap, Ji Xun bowed his head and kissed her jade-like forehead, and said softly: "Ah Yue, meeting you is the greatest blessing in my life, I believe that father, queen and queen will definitely I will be happy for me to have such a good wife."

"So you have to treat me better. If you fail me in this life, God will punish you." Su Mianyue pretended to be arrogant, and her eyes were full of pride.
