"When to mobilize the troops... still needs to be discussed and decided, but this year's spring plowing cannot be delayed, so the Ministry of Revenue has many things to do... One is to prepare the army's food and grass and be ready to move at any time."
"The second is spring plowing. There have been wars for many years. You should know that without food, everything will stop. Wang Shichong's defeat is a lesson from the past. Therefore, if the war is going to be fought, farming cannot stop."
"Third, this year's war is a matter of life and death. After the spring plowing, I have to recruit soldiers to join the war, and I have to do it before the Yellow River rises. It is estimated that the time is quite tight. Whether it will affect the spring plowing depends on the household department... Before the spring plowing
There are still two months left, think about what to do appropriately, and tell Zhongshu, and I will transfer some people to the Household Department to fill the vacancies in the Household Department."
"Hey, I will reserve the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance for you. I will reward you based on your merits after this year's war... If Chang'an is in hand, the world will fall sooner or later. How can we let others have such achievements?"
?”
Just like cheering up the generals before a battle, Li Po felt the need to cheer up Su Dan.
Facts have proved that people nowadays are still doing this. They are not afraid of the size of the pie, but they are afraid that it cannot be seen or touched. Su Dan only briefly imagined the scene of returning to his hometown and being looked up to by his tribe, or that he was not even 30 years old.
, he became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which was more honorable than his father's, and he became excited instantly.
What is glory and wealth? This is glory and wealth. Li Po dreamed of being an emperor, and his ministers pursued the founding of the country. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, everyone had to overcome all obstacles and go all the way.
Otherwise, if Li Po's head is not stable, how can they hope for glory and wealth?
"Your Majesty, today is different from the past. Farming matters have rules and regulations to follow, and the household registration is generally complete. As long as you follow the steps, you will not miss the farming season. Now that the people are loyal, there is no need to recruit soldiers. We just need to wait until the spring plowing is over.
"
"The only thing I am worried about is when the king seeks peace with Li Yuan... There are countless wealthy families in Guanxi and there are millions of people. How should we deal with it?"
After saying that, the two people looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, they all understand that this is not a funny thing, and no matter how high-spirited they say it, it cannot change the fact that this victory or defeat is difficult to determine.
And the collision between princes will always be accompanied by countless blood as a side note.
When the heroes of Kansai dominated the world, no one dared to challenge them lightly. Now, even if they are caught in the horse's hoof and are teetering on the edge, it is by no means easy.
In fact, to this day, Li Yuan alone led the army into the hinterland of Kansai and captured the Xijing Chang'an in one fell swoop. The others are just small-scale bandits. The world has been in chaos for so many years, and no one can lead the army to wreak havoc.
Above Qinchuan.
These have well proved the fighting power of the Kansai people, and now, the King of Han obviously wants to have a big battle with Li Yuan along the Yellow River...
When Su Dan came out of the study, his heart was heavy. It was like a rope was tied around his neck, and he felt it was a little difficult to breathe.
This was the prelude to a great battle. It was very similar to the previous battle with Li Shentong. From the words of the King of Han, Su Dan felt a strong sense of crisis.
Su Dan walked very slowly, and several attendants gathered around him. Su Dan didn't pay much attention, his mind was full of thoughts.
The household department had been exhausted from the period a year ago, and when he finally took a breath, he was burdened with another heavy burden... It seemed that he needed to talk to Wang Qing in person.
He still has no intention of giving up. Wang Qing used to be the chief steward of the General Manager's Mansion. He is not a talented person, but he has always been steady and down-to-earth in his work. He also gets along well with the old people who came out of Yunnei. With this person by his side, it is no different from
There is an extra arm.
He didn't know if the King of Han insisted on keeping Wang Qing by his side because he wanted to check and balance the Ministry of Revenue, but...it was a difficult year for him to obey the authority in a hurry. If he could persuade Wang Qing to take up a post in the Ministry of Revenue, it would greatly reduce the pressure on him.
, so he had to give it a try.
While walking, several people came from the road ahead. When they saw them, the two leading people looked at them for a moment, then immediately stepped aside and saluted with their chests hammered.
Su Dan raised his head and took a look. He recognized the two leading men because they both served in the General Manager's Office back then and they were both Turks.
A man named Ashina Qingyun, who was born in a Turkic royal family, heard that some people were pretending to be evil in the north, so he did some things. Not long after returning to Jinyang, he followed Yuen Long to look after the Jinyang warehouse.
Nowadays, they can be regarded as officials under the Ministry of Revenue, but they are also vaguely independent. They are one of the groups of people that the Ministry of Revenue needs to try its best to win over.
The other one is called Kuqa. Like Ashina Qingyun, he was still a child when he was brought to Jin. Now he has grown into a sturdy man with a helmet on his head and a face full of flesh.
A very fierce person.
Su Dan knew that this man now belonged to Zuo Yiwei Mansion. His official position was unclear, but he should be a general in Zhang Lun's army. Thinking of this, Su Dan couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
He waved and motioned for the two of them to come forward to talk.
The two Turkic youths looked at each other for a moment and then came forward. Ashina Qingyun smiled and beat his chest and said, "I have met Mr. Su."
Without looking at the appearance, just listening to the voice, it is impossible to tell that this is a Turkic nobleman. This guy's speech and behavior are no different from those in Jinyang's officialdom.
The other one was completely different. He beat his chest vigorously and roared like thunder, "I will finally pay tribute to Su Sima."
Completely covering up Ashina Qingyun's voice, this Turkic nobleman who had no ambitions and just wanted to live his life helplessly rolled his eyes quietly.
For Su Dan, the title Su Sima made him feel more friendly. He smiled and waved his hand, "You two, please don't be formal..."
First, he said a few words to Ashina Qingyun, and then greeted Yuen Long, and then looked at Kuqa.
This person was dressed neatly, but his complexion was definitely not that good. His face was a little swollen, there were some holes in it, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked very scary.
This confirmed Su Tan's guess, and he said when he opened his mouth: "How many days has it been since the general came back? With this weather, it was a hard journey along the way."
Kuqa had no foresight and no respect for Susima, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling. However, he was assimilated into the army very well. From the hot-blooded and stubborn Turkic slave back then, he became one who followed military orders and military regulations in everything.
The prevailing military personnel.
"It's nothing hard. The general said that a man who has never experienced wind and snow cannot stand up straight..."
The general he spoke of must be Zhang Lun. In fact, it was almost the same as before, except that he always talked about the gods, and replaced the gods with generals.
It can be seen that regardless of Zhang Lun's other skills, his ability to win over people's hearts is quite good. You must know that Kuqa followed him for only half a year.
After saying this, Kuqa grinned with joy.
Such obvious irony made Su Danguang angry, and Ashina Qingyun next to him said at the right time: "Shilang Su is busy with official duties, do you have any instructions? If there is nothing else, we will not delay you."
Su Dan smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Zhang and I are close friends, but we couldn't have a drink together at the end of the year. It's a pity that I happened to meet you. Come visit me later and I'll prepare some for General Zhang."
I have some gifts, could you please send them back?"
"Then Su Sima needs to hurry up. I have to go back with General Liu and set off tomorrow morning... I can't bring too many things..."
"But the right leader Liu Jingsheng is General Liu?"
Kuqa was sincere. He nodded repeatedly and his attitude softened. Apparently, he heard the other party's words about making friends with Zhang Lun, which made him feel that he had underestimated people before. People who can associate with the general need to be respected.
In just a few words, the whole story of the future was revealed in front of Su Dan.
When Ashina Qingyun took Kuqa away, who still wanted to give something to Su Dan, Su Dan pondered for a moment and then went on his own, feeling a little heavier.
The storm is about to come and the wind is blowing all over the building... The king is carefully exploring the activities at Xiao Mian, but he doesn't know who sent the news from the northwest. In any case, everyone in the household department has no time to relax.
On the other side, two Turks were also muttering.
"That's Su Dan and Su Yuan Zai, not a waste like Potu. People walking on the grassland know that beasts with bared fangs are not scary. Only those guys crouching in the grass are the most dangerous. You are like this
When he speaks, do you still want to live?"
"By God, I didn't say anything..."
"You haven't said anything yet... That man is afraid of the cold, so you said he can't stand firmly... If you have to stay for a while, have you even told him what General Zhang eats, what he wears, and what he sends people to do?
?”
When two people are together, as always, Ashina Qingyun makes the decision. Even if Kuqa refutes a few words, he will be suppressed firmly.
And the longer he stayed in Jinyang, the more Ashina Qingyun realized how powerful he was. Some people who couldn't hold a sword or a gun and seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind became scary.
Among them, Su Quan is the most important, because this person is now his immediate boss, and the officials in charge of the warehouses in Jinyang have been punished over and over again by Su Shilang.
Even Yuen Long was full of fear when he talked about the Su Shilang, but he refused to admit defeat and always cursed him, "There is no good martial artist in the Su family, let alone outsiders like them."
Ashina Qingyun really wanted to imprint a complete heroic spectrum on Kuqa's mind, lest the man accidentally lose his head.
It's a pity that Kuqa's stay in Jinyang was too short and he had to go back to Hongnong. Ashina Qingyun didn't know where Hongnong was. He only knew that Kuqa, a fool, would definitely outlive him.
long……
Soon after, the two separated. Kuqa went to report to Liu Jingsheng, while Ashina Qingyun went to the inner residence of the Han Dynasty to meet Yuen Long, because Yuen Long's mother-in-law, Ashina Yun, had really come back and was accompanying Yuen Long in the Han Dynasty.
Stay at home.
Entering the palace of Prince Han, Ashina was cautious and kept his eyes straight. The two followers followed him cautiously, wanting to put their heads in their crotches.
