The city of Bianliang is still as prosperous as before, and it is even more than that.

There are people coming and going on the streets, and there are obviously more people this year. Chen Shou’s policies are attracting more and more people to flow into Kaifeng Prefecture.

In contrast, the sharp decline in population in various places has allowed local vassal states to take measures to crack down on fugitives.

As a result, the roads in local prefectures and counties were difficult to move, so that businessmen from other places could only pour into Chen Shou's territory.

Inside the water pavilion, Chen Shou smiled and said, "The Huai Army really can't sit still."

Huang Zhen smiled and said, "The Marquis implemented the new salt administration and cut off their financial path. Even if the Wei family didn't want to fight, they would have no choice. If they did not take measures, the first person to make their Wei family rebelled will be their financial owner."

"The big salt merchants in Lianghuai seized the wealth of the people of the court, just like sucking marrow and blood. For so many years, they are still not satisfied, just as the ancients said that people are not satisfied with their hearts and snakes swallow elephants." Liu Zhiying smiled and said, "If the Huai army comes, my chance to take Lianghuai will come."

Some time ago, the war in Hedong was in a stalemate and was under great pressure from Mongolia. At that time, the Huai Army did not take the opportunity to raise troops, because they were timid and flinched, but now it is not so easy.

Chen Shou clenched his hands, his eyes a little excited, "The Lianghuai is the place where the wealth of the Great Qi is accumulated. If we can take down the Lianghuai, we will be like a tiger, like a bird returning to the forest, and like a fish entering the sea."

He had already ordered Zhang Zhengyuan to send people to guard Taiyuan and then go south.

The Huai Army's movements were so slow that although it might be that it was conspiring with the Tang Navy, Chen Shou was not afraid at all.

It's time to fight a tough battle and let everyone know that they are not on Xiliang's back to this. If anyone wants to come, just let the horse come over and try it.

In the water pavilion, Yuan Xiannian's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly realized that the map behind Chen Shou had changed from Hedong to Huaiyin.

He said in his heart that if this crucial battle is won, there will be no worries in the south.

Moreover, the Marquis always wanted to develop the navy, take over the two Huaihe Rivers and possess the Yangtze River barrier, which is the best opportunity to develop slowly.

He glanced at Chen Shou and found that the Marquis was still confident in his heart, and his heart suddenly became much more peaceful.

The Zhongyong Hou did not do something unsure, as long as it was decided by him, he would definitely be sure to win.

Of course, war is not that absolute, but Yuan Xiannian himself is confident that Chen Shou's strength is more than ordinary people can see.

In Hedong, the main force is not Chen Shou’s side, but his own Bai Bogu and Li Xin’s troops. Will the Huai Army be the first force to confront Zhongyong Hou head-on and completely?

Chen Shou stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "In the past, we were planning and preparing other people's supplies. This time our own troops are about to end. You have to be more energetic than usual."

"Mr. Marquis is at ease, and there will be no mistakes in the parts of the supplies, food and grass. If there is any mistake, we will dare to issue military orders at any time."

Chen Shou nodded. Although his troops had been fighting outside, he had always controlled the scale of the war they participated in to a very small range.

It was nothing more than suppressing bandits, suppressing bandits, and suppressing bandits. The last time, they were sent to Hedong and fought with the Mongols for less than half a month. Just because Li Xinbei attacked the desert, he forced the Mongolian army to retreat.

Hangzhou Prefecture, Tang Imperial City, Daming Palace.

Emperor Yuhui stretched his waist, looked at the minister standing in the hall lazily, and smiled helplessly.

These ministers came to the palace for several days and chatted endlessly, just to advise themselves to take charge of the navy and not to make enemies with Daqi.

If I can manage the navy, I will leave it alone, but as the king of a country, I cannot be honest with myself that I can't manage the navy.

These ministers were just afraid that once the two sides started a war, their family's industries would be affected.

Now in the territory of Daqi, the Huai Army is ready to move and the situation becomes tense.

Affected by this incident, the merchant ships in Southern Tang have been ordered to stop going to Daqi, and the Chamber of Commerce lost more than a thousand gold every day.

Daqi is the largest market, where everything seems to be lacking, and every powerful man has money in his hands. He can earn 100,000 trump cards with a ship of supplies ashore from Tanggu.

Emperor Yuhui's mind is full of nagging words from these ministers, but he is indeed quite gentle and does not scold even a minister.

"My dear, can you listen to me?"

Cui Ti immediately stood up straight, clasped her fists and said, "Please speak with your Majesty."

"What I said about the navy and the Huai Army colluding with each other and wanting to participate in the internal strife in the Da Qi, is there any real evidence?"

"It's all said in this way, I..."

Emperor Yuhui said dissatisfiedly: "Does the military affairs be judged by rumors?"

Cui Ti was slightly stunned. He was not used to the attitude of the honest Emperor Yuhui. Just as he was about to speak, Li Xiu next to him coughed lightly and said, "Cui Ti, your majesty is magnanimous, don't you know the right measure. If you can show real evidence, we will naturally order a thorough investigation. Otherwise, just relying on the gossip in the market, you will shake the navy. Do you know that the navy is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty?"

This sentence is not an exaggeration. The importance of the navy is well known to all the people in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Under the pressure of the Great Qi back then, the entire Jiangnan capital was trembling and panic.

So he devoted all his strength to build a navy and found out the warship information left by his ancestors from the moldy books.

The result of unity between the two people is that the already developed Tang Dynasty warship has made rapid progress in technology.

Although the powerful navy slightly relieved the pressure from the north, it gradually breeded new problems, that is, the tail cannot be lost.

Because these navy masters are so strong that their long-distance voyage ability is many times higher than that of any previous dynasty, they gradually gained their own power on many islands hanging overseas.

Some of them were even about the same size as the entire territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty. In the extreme south, there was a huge island full of rare birds and beasts. The natives were very backward and had long become a base for the navy.

Emperor Yuhui saw Li Xiu drive away Cui Ti, and his heart was no longer as happy as to continue the banquet. He waved his hand gently and signaled the singers and dancers to retreat.

The women retreated, and Emperor Yuhui suddenly said, "Give me a reward according to normal standards."

The singers and dancers and musicians, with joyful expressions, all kneeled down to thank them.

Emperor Yuhui then seemed to laugh a little and said to the emperor's uncle Li Xiu: "These ministers are like doves, the most annoying, and often disturb my elegant pleasure."

Li Xiu smiled and said, "Why don't your Majesty set up a roadblock so that someone can stop some face-to-faced masters who are like Cui Ti, who are troubled by nothing."

Emperor Yuhui was very interested and asked, "How to set it up?"

"What's the difficulty of sending your Majesty's confidant and those who understand your Majesty, and screen them? In this way, your Majesty can be as happy as possible in the palace in the future, without worrying about villains, and not misleading major issues."

Emperor Yuhui looked at Yu Jingde behind him and smiled and said, "It's the fish's companion."
