Thinking of other things, Li Qingluan's face became sad and sad, "Let's not talk about this anymore. The important thing is this year's great famine, which may cause severe damage to our muscles and bones and our vitality."
"Your Majesty was worried and issued repeated edicts, asking civil and military officials and heads of various ministries to come up with some food and distribute it to the soldiers and civilians to tide over the difficulties. He also set an example by reducing the supply in the palace, patching things up here and there, and starting from scratch bit by bit.
Nearly ten thousand stones of grain were squeezed out of the cracks."
Speaking of this, Li Qingluan's face showed an evil spirit, an evil spirit that wanted to kill someone.
"I hate those guys. They would rather spend a lot of money to buy new spirits, glassware and silk cloth from the Song Dynasty than give out a little food to relieve the soldiers and the people. There are also thousands of great monks, which make our nobles and civil servants in Xia extremely happy.
Yue, I am grateful that the Song Dynasty is indeed sincerely seeking peace."
"A group of idiots who are usually very vicious, knocking bones and sucking marrow, but they worship Buddha and pretend to be compassionate. Huh! They just want to reincarnate in the next life and be reincarnated into a noble family. But don't they know?"
"How many temples, how much food, how much sesame oil, how many novice monks are needed for the thousands of great monks sent by the Song Dynasty? They kill without blood!"
Speaking of this, Li Qingluan seemed exhausted physically and mentally. The nobles did not know the importance and did not pull out any money, but she had to run for the country.
"The most important thing for this county to do this time is to get a large amount of grain. This county knows that there are people in Hebei and Hedong in the Song Dynasty who are rampantly smuggling grain and cloth to Beiliao. I am not afraid of spending money, find these people, and buy grain.
Transfer it to the Xijing Road in northern Liaoning and transport it back to the Hetao area to solve our urgent need in Great Xia."
Li Qingluan stared at Li Furen like a goshawk staring at a rabbit and spoke word by word.
"Fu Ren, this matter is of great importance, related to the life and death of our Xia Kingdom. To tell you the truth, there are many people in Shi, Yan, Long, You, Xia, Hong, Wei and other states who cannot bear the hunger and bring their families with them.
They took their mouths and fled south one after another. Even the party members in Wudinghe and Dijinze areas, my old Longxing tribe in Daxia, also started to flee south."
"And it can be predicted that when the autumn harvest comes this year and the Song army has regained its strength, it will definitely repeat its old tricks, not to severely defeat our army, but to destroy the harvest. The Song army is expanding and building Yinzhou City day and night these days. It is the target of the Song army's attack
A nail in the Wuding River Basin makes it difficult for our army to rest day and night, so we can only pile up troops to attack it."
"It's difficult to conquer a fortified city, and the Song army is the best at defending the city. They want to slowly bleed my Daxia and consume me alive! They can't just sit back and wait for death! So, Furen, you must find a relationship and contact Hedong, Hebei
smugglers. With food, we can recover our strength and wait for the opportunity to defeat the Song army and reverse the situation of the war."
Li Furen thought about it for a while and said solemnly: "My subordinates must try their best to find the person. After the major cases of Zhang Yong, Wang Zu, and Fan Si, the Song government also made some arrangements for Hebei and Hedong. But the situation there is complicated and there are many aristocratic families.
, I just cleared away some vegetation, the roots are still there, I can definitely find them."
"Okay, Furen, if this is done, you will be my great hero in Daxia!" Li Qingluan said happily.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, "Sister, someone is coming."
Zhang Guangshun was brought in, and when he saw Li Qingluan, he burst into tears.
"Princess... I can finally see you again."
Li Qingluan was also moved and said comfortingly: "Zhang Guangshun, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Guangshun wiped away his tears and said: "It's not hard for me, it's the princess and your majesty who are doing the hard work. Last year, you had a hard time."
Li Qingluan's heart moved. It seemed that his chess piece was placed correctly. He knew many secrets of the Song Dynasty.
"Sit down, sit down!" Li Qingluan greeted, "Just now, I was telling Furen that there are two main things for coming to the Song Dynasty this time. One of the big things is to find out the military situation of the Song Dynasty, especially in the northwest. Deploy a plan so that you can get the right medicine. Guangshun, this big thing falls on you."
"The younger one has always kept in mind the princess's instructions. Fortunately, he entered the Privy Council and has been diligently collecting military aircraft. Because the people in the Privy Council Bureau and the Security Bureau are so powerful, the younger one did not dare to leave any words. He only dared to write down the secrets in the I read it silently in my mind every night and dare not forget it.”
Zhang Guangshun said impassionedly.
Li Qingluan was excited and pleased at the same time, "Okay, with a loyal minister like you, Daxia will definitely be able to defeat the weak Song Dynasty, take full control of Shaanxi, and lay the foundation for hegemony."
"Thank you, Princess. The young one will detail the military information of the Song Dynasty one by one."
"Okay, Fu Jen, take a pen and ink and write it down carefully."
"yes."
"The princess, Li Tongjun, Zhao Si, um, is now renamed Zhao Tao. After he officially ascended the throne, the first major thing he did was to reorganize the Privy Council and the Sanya Forbidden Army."
"Each room in the Privy Council was abolished, and all official posts such as those responsible for carrying out decrees were dismissed. Three new offices were established: staff, officer, and munitions, as well as secretaries, general affairs, privy inspectors, and military intelligence bureaus. Wen Yi was appointed as Chongzhengdian University Scholars, both know the affairs of the Privy Council; Sun Lu is a bachelor of Chui Gongdian, and he also signed the Privy Council affairs, and all the staff officers have joined the army and are responsible for the affairs of the General Staff Office."
Li Qingluan interrupted and asked, "Don't you know about the affairs of the Privy Council?"
"Yes, princess. It is said that the ministers thought that Zhao Si had served as the Privy Council envoy and had judged the affairs of the Privy Council, so they did not dare to violate the taboo and take up this position."
Li Qingluan sneered, what kind of trick did he think others didn't know? There were only deputy positions and no principal positions, which meant that Zhao Shisan, who had become an official, had to directly take charge of the Privy Council.
"Sun Lu, do you know about Xizhou Prefecture's military affairs and Xihe Road's strategy to pacify Sun Lu and Sun Zhengfu?" Li Qingluan asked again.
"Back to the princess, it is this person."
"This county remembers that the person who was promoted back to Kaifeng with Zhao Shisan was Hu Zongfu, who was a military officer in Qingzhou Prefecture and the pacification envoy of Huanqing Road Economic Strategy. What is his current position?"
"If you return to the princess, Hu Zonghui will become the Minister of War."
Li Qingluan's eyes flashed, "Zhao Shisan knows people well and makes good use of them. Although Hu Zonghui is also familiar with military strategy and border affairs, his temper is too stubborn. Sun Lu, on the other hand, is not only familiar with military strategy and border affairs, but also knows how to adapt to changes. Well, Guangshun , you continue.”
"Yes, princess. Liu Kai is a bachelor of the Chui Gong Palace, and is a member of the Privy Council. He is the Marquis of Yu, the military commander, and is in charge of military affairs. Chen Shixi is a bachelor of the Chongzheng Palace, and is a Privy Council member. He is in charge of the military affairs department. Zeng Baohua records matters for the Secretariat of the Privy Council; Changsun Moli records matters for the Privy Council Secretariat; Cen Meng records matters for the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Privy Council..."
Li Qingluan thought carefully in his mind for a while, "Wen Yi is a person with a gentle personality. He had a good relationship with Zhao Shisan in the past. I heard that Zhao Shisan was handling cases in Kaifeng City before and got a lot of help from Wen Yi, who was then in charge of Kaifeng Mansion. . Now Zhao Shisan uses him as a Tongzhi Privy Council official. To put it bluntly, he is used to be obedient."
"Guangshun, tell me, what are the three bureaus of the Privy Council doing?"
"Yes, Princess. The officials of the Song Dynasty published the "Privy Council Regulations Draft", and I heard that he drafted it himself. According to the regulations, the General Staff Office is responsible for the establishment, military training, and examination of each ministry and the general officers of the Song Dynasty.
, strategic planning, military service mobilization, etc., as well as combat command.”
"Unified training, unified command..." Li Qingluan muttered softly, "The ideas of Zhao Shisan and his ancestors are really completely different."
Zhang Guangshun waited, saw Li Qingluan's signal, and was about to continue talking when he suddenly heard a panic on the street outside the gate downstairs, and then heard someone yelling.
"The patrol brigade of Dongcheng Branch of the Internal and External Police Department is ordered to handle the case!"
The air in the room froze, and Li Qingluan, Li Furen, and Zhang Guangshun looked at each other, unable to hide their panic. This chapter has been completed!
