Long Yangjun leaned over and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, do you want to continue to increase the cost of training troops?"
"Yes, your Majesty is going to pass on my wishes and order all counties and territories to call on the people to donate food to feed the army." Wei Wu said in a deep voice.
When Lord Long Yang came out of the palace, the sky was completely dark.
But there were still Wei ministers waiting outside the palace, and they all came up to ask: "What did the king say?"
Has Lord Longyang ever advised the king to save food in preparation for the cold winter?"
Long Yangjun: "Your Majesty demands that military expenditures continue to increase, and military training cannot be stopped.
If the Qin people really come to attack Wei next year, the king's concerns are not unreasonable."
"But there is no balance in the national treasury, so where will the training expenses come from?"
"The king's intention... is to call on all places to save food to nourish the army." Long Yangjun said slowly.
Wei Chen said in shock: "This year, the amount of money spent on military training is far greater than in the past few years. It would be inappropriate to save food from the people now, and some people will have difficulty surviving the winter."
"I have carefully estimated that according to the king's plan and collecting money and food from various places, we can survive this winter without any major problems."
Lord Long Yang said: "In addition, I will set off overnight to go to Qi and Chu to discuss borrowing grain and see if there is any harvest."
In the Wei Palace, after Lord Long Yang left, Wei Wu whispered to his attendants:
"Long Yangjun just said that there are more hungry people in various places. Go and find out how many there are. Make clear statistics and report the number to me.
Remember, check carefully and closely."
"No." The waiter quickly went down to make arrangements.

Time flies, and ten months pass by in an instant.
In mid-December, Xianyang received its first snowfall, and the ground was covered with snow.
This winter has been colder than in previous years. Fortunately, Qin has abundant food reserves and is located inland, so no major cold or other disasters have occurred.
This morning, people gathered outside the military camp on the outskirts of Qinjing City.
But because winter has arrived, the Qin Army has increased winter subsidies this year, giving money and food to some veterans who have retired due to injuries, so that they can spend the winter.
Some wounded and disarmed veterans got up early in the morning to line up and wait outside the military camp.
Cao Ping is thirty-four years old this year. More than a year ago, he injured his arm during the attack on Zhao and returned to Qin from the front line.
He has a large family in his family, including elders and younger ones.
When Cao Ping came back with a crippled arm, the whole family was worried. The crippled arm meant that he could no longer participate in heavy labor. Although the wounded soldiers could receive food and pay, life would always be more difficult.
However, just at the beginning of this year, Qin revised the regulations on pensions for wounded soldiers.
People like Cao Ping not only have specific resettlement methods, but if they wish, they can also work in newly built academies in various places to make a living. If there are suitable positions available to them, senior officials in various places will also give priority to veterans who have retired due to injuries.
Qin also encouraged farming in various places. With his qualifications as a member of the Qin army, he could also obtain large areas of fertile land.
After seeing Qin's newly enacted regulations on pensions for wounded soldiers, Cao Ping's whole family was overjoyed and all their sorrows were swept away.
Yesterday, Yuri was going to his home to inform him that veterans could go to the military camp to receive subsidies. Cao Ping came over very early in the morning and was the first in line. He waited with his sleeves rolled up in the cold wind, but with a smile on his face.
At this time, he was talking playfully and happily with a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled comrades who had been in the army through life and death. They were in such high spirits that it was completely impossible to tell that they were a group of wounded soldiers who had been discharged and returned to the field.
In Xianyang Palace, Zhao Huaizhong was looking through the summary of pensions for wounded soldiers from various places that had just been sent.
After a while, he wrote a reply in the memorial.
Then he got up and went to the window and looked out of the window: As the King of Qin, there are countless things waiting for him to do.
Sometimes I feel like I have a heavy weight on my shoulders and a long way to go.
When he became the Queen of Qin, he re-formulated the regulations on subsidies and aftermath for injured and retired veterans. However, there were many things to be done, and despite all the efforts, they were not implemented until this year.
Zhao Huaizhong sat back on the low seat and was about to continue the next round of work.
Suddenly I felt the bone mirror vibrating, so I took it out to check, but there was a message from the saint circle.
