Chapter 265
Therefore, the cabinet advocated increasing income and reducing expenditure, and reducing military expenditure.At the same time, soldiers in the army should be divided into groups to farm and farm in order to relieve the pressure on the court.

As soon as this remonstrance came out, it was opposed by the military officers.

The military officer said: "The military defense of a country is not only to have soldiers available in wartime, but also to be used in peacetime drills and to deter foreign heroes. Now this dynasty is adjacent to foreign tribes, not just one or two, Uzang, Beirong, etc. There are dozens of tribes big and small, and there are Qiqi, Hesang and other countries in the east and south, so the military defense must not be relaxed!"

The civil servants all accused the military attache of scaremongering.

Su Yudao: "The cabinet made such a suggestion, and it's not that it's completely lax. It's just that the army is divided into divisions, and they take turns to expand the fields to cultivate, so that they can be self-sufficient on the basis of not hindering daily drills, and at the same time reduce military defense expenditure. "

The emperor put on a dilemma again, and pondered: "What do you think about the governor?"

Yin Cong said: "Shoufu's suggestion is good, but the topography, weather, soil, and harvests of previous years must be carefully investigated by the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of War. If the survey is wrong and affects the supply of food and grass for military defense, it may not be appropriate."

He spoke very conservatively. He neither agreed nor disagreed. He just stated his interests. When something happened, whoever brought it up would be held responsible.

However, it is a very complicated job for the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of War to survey the terrain and climate to measure how much food can be cultivated to supply military supplies. Who can guarantee that there will be no baskets?
The emperor asked Shoufu again: "Is the Shoufu confident that this matter will be implemented?"

Su Yudao: "Chen Ding and the Six Departments will do their best."

This matter was discussed in the morning for a few days, and it was finally finalized. First, select one or two places for military defense to try it out.

In this way, although Su Yu took a great risk, he also choked the throat of military supplies.

No matter how powerful the elite teachers of a country are, they cannot lack food and grass.

Coming out of the court hall, several generals stationed in the court were very anxious, and followed behind Yin Cong, saying: "The chief assistant is taking the bottom line. If he is allowed to control the military supplies, it is equivalent to controlling half of the battlefield. I am afraid that there will be endless troubles! That's all." , Presumably the need for wartime, the chief assistant did not dare to delay. But the reduced military supplies, either make up for the east or the west, don’t they all fall to the chief minister in the end, why didn’t the governor stop it? "

Yin Jing said without hesitation: "Everyone is working for the imperial court. If the proposal of the first assistant is beneficial to the society, it is not a bad idea."

Please tell the truth, please, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so high-sounding!
You didn't understand, and said: "Please make it clear from the governor."

Yin Cong walked and said, "Shoufu doesn't give any useless opinions. Recently, the emperor wanted to overhaul the pagoda and was bothered about spending money. Now that Shoufu has sent the money to his eyes, what's the use of saying more? What's more about this matter?" It is also difficult to implement it, the policy of farming and farming in a peaceful and prosperous age, will there be eternal peace?"

The people around him fell silent.

The emperor has already made up his mind, he just asked you a few words to save face, if you don't give him face, you will be in trouble.

Su Yu just followed the emperor's will and achieved his goal by the way.

At this time, Cai Zheng, who had been silent all this time, said: "You generals, don't worry, if anything goes wrong during this period, the chief assistant should also be held accountable."

Several generals stationed in the DPRK suddenly realized.

Such a tedious and complicated task, is there anything wrong with it?If there is no trouble, we must find trouble!

When Wei Qing was busy arranging medicinal materials in the imperial hospital, several taps of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" sounded on the table.

Wei Qing raised his head and glanced at Su Yu.

Su Yu leaned against the counter, looked at her with a smile and said, "I just came into the palace to do some business, and I've been away from you for a while, do you want to go back together?"

Wei Qing lowered his eyes and was busy with himself, and replied casually: "Okay."

Su Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "I've prepared reasons to convince you, but it's rare that I can't use them."

Wei Qing said: "Just wait for me here, I will send the medicine to the empress in the harem and I will come back."

Then Wei Qing took Yilan for a walk, and when he came back, he saw Su Yu lying on the recliner in the consultation room, falling asleep.

There have been a lot of things going on in the court recently, and he has taken the lead, so it's no wonder he isn't tired.

Wei Qing called him twice, but he didn't answer, and said, "Sleep here if you like, I won't accompany Shoufu, I'll go back first."

Only then did Su Yu raise her hand and pinch the bridge of her nose, and said, "Since you want to wake me up, what are you doing so far away, why don't you come closer?"

At this moment, Wei Qing was standing a foot away from where he was lying, and said with a half-smile, "Because I'm not sure if the chief assistant will make any sudden movements, so it's better to keep a safe distance."

Su Yu stood up and sighed regretfully, "Just guarding against me like this? It seems that it takes time to get close to you." He straightened his clothes and walked out of the consulting room, saying, "I don't know what the governor is doing. If you get close to you, I should consider going to learn from him later."

Wei Qing's already faint smile faded away.

After leaving the palace gate, Su Yu's sedan chair was parked there, and he asked Wei Qing to sit on it.

Yilan goes to the outer palace gate by herself to take Ah Ying's carriage as usual.It's just that Wei Qing walked with Su Yu today, and Yi Lan looked a little worried.

Wei Qing said: "Go, go home and wait for me."

Only then did Yilan walk forward, looking back from time to time, and left slowly.

Wei Qing folded his clothes and got into Su Yu's sedan chair, and sat on the side.Su Yu then came in and sat down beside her.

When the curtain fell slowly, it blocked the sunlight outside.

This sedan chair was similar to Yin Cong's, and Wei Qing would inevitably touch Su Yu's clothes.

But she is very aware of the difference between the two.There was no soothing and peaceful cold sandalwood in this sedan chair, nor did she relax immediately, leaning against the sedan chair wall to rest lazily.

The breath on Su Yu's body was not annoying, but that clear smell kept her awake all the time.

Su Yu held the corner of his clothes leisurely in his hand, and said, "If you are willing to go out of the palace with me today, you must have something to say." After a pause, he continued, "It's because of the impact of the government's spending reduction arrangements on military defense You are in a hurry because you have arrived at the Great Governor?"

Wei Qing twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Why am I in such a hurry, the first assistant and the chief governor are both under one person and over ten thousand, and to be able to sit in today's position, does the first assistant think that one move can defeat him? "

"I didn't think so. He has a heavy army in his hands. If he doesn't take power again, it will be a disaster in the future."

"That's right, if the next new emperor comes to the throne, it is the third prince who is supported by the chief minister, then the military power of the governor will become the most dreadful thing." Wei Qing sighed and said, "But you can see what the governor has? Do you want to deal with it? He obeyed your wishes."

Su Yu said: "That's because he knows that the emperor is also afraid."
