Yang Guiying hid behind and secretly observed Zhao Tai, and saw Zhao Tai smiling and saying: "Governing the state and county is easy! There are many staff under my command who can govern a state, and the military advisers on the left and right are even more talented.

Thirty thousand soldiers and more than 100,000 garrison troops cost tens of thousands a month, and we all rely on them to manage the prefectures and counties well and provide money and food for the commander-in-chief's government."

Zhao Tai looked at Yang Miaozhen, bowed and said: "My aunt asked Tai how to govern the place. Tai thought that he only needed to formulate a general strategy, recruit talents, trust the talents, and leave the specific management to them. Know people and make good use of them. This is Tai's strategy.

also."

Li Fen originally wanted to take the opportunity to show off that his understanding of internal affairs was superior to that of Zhao Tai, but he did not want Zhao Tai to talk about knowing people and being good at assigning them instead of talking about how to govern in detail.

In this way, even if he talks well about governance, he can only be overshadowed by Zhao Tai.

Yang Miaozhen nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Guorui is the governor of a town, and there are many military and political affairs. If you do everything yourself, you will really have no time to spare. To govern the prefectures and counties for the master, it is indeed necessary to recruit talents and know people well.

"

Li Fen said: "The Zhongyi Army only has a few states. I'm afraid it's difficult to recruit talented people. It's hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice! I heard that the monthly salary of ordinary soldiers of the Zhongyi Army is the same. Guorui has 30,000 soldiers. In one year, just the salary alone is enough."

We need five hundred thousand guan. If we add armaments, food and grass, it will cost nearly one million. How can we support the loyal army that governs several states?"

Zhao Tai glanced at Li Fen and said, "When I govern the place, military affairs come first. The governance of prefectures and counties, as well as the internal affairs of feudal towns, should all focus on serving the military. Money and food should be given to the army. This is the way to lead the army. This is the way to go.

Next, 70% of the money of the vassal government will be used for military affairs, which can ensure that the army has no worries!"

Li Fen said with a smile: "I don't think the so-called "first army" can last long. Now the country is rich and generous, but then there will be no pay, and chaos will inevitably occur. I don't think it is a wise move."

Zhao Taidao said: "Great governance requires peace in the world. In today's troubled times, when the Mongolian army comes, the city will be turned into a ruin, and the people will be slaves. No matter how prosperous the state or county is, it will be destroyed in an instant. Under the Xianjun, the soldiers under my command will be strong and strong."

, I can fight against the Mongols, I can conquer the world. I have soldiers at my disposal, so why worry about not having any pay!"

Zhao Tai's army-first strategy was to station guns in troubled times and to build granaries everywhere.

Li Fen was speechless for a moment, but Yang Miaozhen understood what Zhao Tai meant, "How to implement Guorui's policy of advancing the army first?"

The situation the Li family faces now is actually very passive. They have a rift with the Song Dynasty, and now they have betrayed Mongolia. It can be said that they are in a dangerous situation.

Although Yang Miaozhen supported Li Fen in managing the military affairs of the vassal, she was still concerned about the current situation.

To be honest, she was actually very worried about the current situation, and it was precisely because of this that she advocated a marriage with Zhao Tai.

Now she sees Zhao Tai's words and deeds and knows Zhao Tai's ability. She can't help but feel happy in her heart, hoping to find a way to survive between Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Taidao: "Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, we, the Han people in the Central Plains, have been repeatedly bullied by the northern captives. At the time of the disgrace of Jingkang, we and other northern Han people were reduced to slaves of the northern captives. Now that the Jin Kingdom has been destroyed, Mongolia has peeked at the Central Plains, and Mongolia

Their cruelty is far greater than that of the Jurchens. I, a Han Chinese, have been slaves for hundreds of years, do I want to continue to be driven by the barbarians?"

The Shandong Red Coat Army launched an anti-Jin uprising because they could not bear the oppression of foreigners.

Yang Miaozhen had a deep understanding of this, but due to current events, the Red Coat Army went through many twists and turns, and the remainder finally surrendered to Mongolia.

Zhao Tai continued: "Although Tai is not talented, I would like to spread my righteousness to the world and save my people so that my descendants will not be slaves of Hulu dogs. In the past Han and Tang Dynasties, our Han people were so heroic that Hu horses did not dare to look south. Today's Han Dynasty

Why is our fortune declining? Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, captives have taken advantage of our gap. In the Second Song Dynasty, the rulers have emphasized literature over military affairs! Our first army is, firstly, the wealth of the vassal government.

No matter how difficult the government is, we must first ensure the expenditure of the three armies. The two are to highlight the status of officers and men and change the status quo of emphasizing civility over military affairs. Although Mongolia is strong, its population is only one million. If we measure the manpower of the three Qi, we can use the method of military garrison to fight

They are soldiers and farmers in peacetime, and then they recruit elite soldiers from the army to build the spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Why fear the Mongols!"

"Okay!" Yang Miaozhen was greatly moved and couldn't help but admire.

At that moment, Yang Miaozhen asked again and again. Zhao Tai answered fluently and had unique insights into politics and military affairs, which amazed Yang Miaozhen.

Li Fen was dissatisfied and saw that Yang Miaozhen admired Zhao Tai more and more, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, Zhao Taitong and the two talked for a while before they talked about marriage.

Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "Auntie, although the Mongolian army has retreated now, it may come back at any time. There are still many things that need to be dealt with in the Jieshuai Mansion. I hope to welcome Miss Guiying back to Pizhou as soon as possible to get married."

Yang Miaozhen was very satisfied with Zhao Tai and immediately agreed, "A true man should put state affairs first. Guorui has great responsibilities and should return to the prison as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Zhao Tai was overjoyed and immediately saluted: "Tai should be in Jinan. He should be filial to his aunt for a few more days. He can only defeat Mongolia and come back to fulfill his filial piety."

Yang Miaozhen smiled and said: "If you can protect Sanqi, you will have many opportunities in the future."

After talking for a while, Zhao Tai said goodbye and left. Yang Miaozhen looked at his back and nodded with satisfaction.

"Come out!" Yang Miaozhen suddenly called after Zhao Tai left.

Yang Guiying came out from behind shyly and saluted, "Auntie!"

Yang Miaozhen smiled and said, "How do you think of the husband I chose for you? Is he a hero?"

Yang Guiying looked like a daughter, a little embarrassed, and said shyly: "Auntie~"

Seeing this, Li Fen couldn't help but beat his chest and felt sad, "It's over, it's over, my mother and cousin have been conquered by Zhao Tai."

Li Fen thought of luring Zhao Tai to Jinan, and then using the marriage to drag him there, and then looking for opportunities to control Zhongyi Town.

Now that Yang Miaozhen agreed to let Zhao Tai take Yang Guiying away, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Mom, you brought up my cousin. Now that she has married into the Zhao family, she is a member of the Zhao family. It will not be easy to meet her in the future. Why is my mother

Promise Zhao Tai not to let the couple stay in Jinan, but to stay with you for a while for the sake of family happiness?"

Hearing this, Yang Miaozhen looked at Li Fen and frowned, "I know what you have in mind, and you want to keep Guorui. I think Guorui is a hero, not a thing in the pool. You can't trap him."

Li Fen said angrily: "Mother, Zhao Tai has the most prestige among the three towns now. If you let him go, the dragon will fall into the sea, and my Li family in Shandong will have no future. Just look at it like this, we Li

Will my family's Shandong finally fall into the hands of Zhao Tai?"

Yang Miaozhen sighed, "If Guorui is not a hero, Guiying and I will help you to make the loyal army surrender to you and make you the lord of Shandong. However, I think his talents are a hundred times more than yours. You can't control it, nor can you."

I will succumb to you. Now, although my Li family owns most of Shandong,

, but there are many crises. I hope you will not make any more plans. The current situation, as Guorui said, everything should be to resist the Mongols first. Now that your cousin is married to him, you should be united with him to fight against the Mongols.

.In this way, if he gains power, my Li family will not lose its glory and wealth."

After hearing this, Li Fen's cheeks turned red with anger. He didn't expect that Yang Miaozhen would think that Zhao Tai was a hundred times more capable than him, and he felt extremely ashamed in his heart.
