"Is this what the Prime Minister meant?" Shao Xun asked rhetorically.

Yin Xian was speechless for a moment.

Shao Xun shook his head and laughed.

Is this Zheng Guoqu’s old wisdom?

Spend a lot of resources and manpower on the construction of water conservancy projects, and then be unable to make the Northern Expedition?

"Xianbei's ignorance can be defeated by a little trick." Yin Xian said: "It is not beautiful to send a large army to conquer."

Shao Xun was silent.

If he openly opposes it at this time, if word spreads, more people will probably say that he is being militaristic.

Yin Xian must have endured these words for a long time.

I heard him talk endlessly about how to transport supplies to Jinyang by water, and I was probably cursing him in my heart.

Tang Jian stared at Yin Xian, as if blaming him for talking to himself because he was out of breath.

Yin Xian didn't even look at him.

Tang Jian, a rich man from Hebei Province, has not yet been taken seriously by Yin Xian. In fact, in his opinion, it is very disgusting for such a person to think about fighting and meritorious service and promotion every day.

"I didn't say we were going to do the Northern Expedition now." Shao Xun sighed and said, "Preparing for a big war can't be completed in one year? Hong Qiao is overthinking it. The story of Taiyuan is very good. I'll tell you later.

I’m going to Taiyuan to have a look, and you can go with me.”

"As ordered." Yin Xian responded.

Shao Xun said nothing more.

In the view of these officials from Henan aristocratic families, the Northern Expedition to Xianbei actually had little benefit, but the cost was extremely staggering.

Henan has been stable for many years. Children of wealthy families have come to Luoyang and Pingyang to serve as officials, and their momentum has gradually grown.

The output of their manor and Wubao has become more and more stable, controlling a large number of villagers, soldiers, and grain, and training a large number of farmers and soldiers.

In recent years, some people have opened restaurants to accept apprentices, swim in the water, have gatherings and talk, and everything is slowly coming back.

The three-year disaster in Hebei should be just a trigger, not the root of the problem.

The root cause is that they are dissatisfied with long-term blood draws.

Unexpectedly, I also enjoyed the treatment that was opposed by the nobles during the Southern and Northern Expeditions.

Fortunately, the degree is much milder, and no one dares to hold back openly. They just complain verbally and continue to test and dissuade through various channels.

Haha! Fortunately, I still have twenty counties in Liang Kingdom in my hands.

Without these twenty counties, things would be much more difficult to handle, and the nobles would not behave like they are now, and it would not only be people like Yin Xian who would test it, but even my father-in-law would have to dissuade him face to face.

"I am thirty-five years old." Shao Xun looked at Yin Xian and said.

Yin Xian was shocked and didn't know how to answer.

"This field is good." Shao Xun suddenly stopped, pointed to the farmland not far away, and said: "The west wind in the west is fragrant, and I seem to smell the smell of yellow rice cakes."

Yin Xian seemed to want to make up for the unhappiness just now, so he laughed and said, "You should eat oil cake today."

Shao Xun smiled and walked towards the end of the field.

Some farmers were weeding in the field, and when they saw this, they all fell down.

This will be July. In another month, the millet will be heading and filling. Then the sparrows will come to eat, and the farmers will have to be busy.

"Hong Qiao, if you don't do some things, you won't see such a scene." Shao Xun said: "The Huns also killed Chenjun back then. There are some things that I don't need to say. If Tuoba Xianbei is not eliminated at this time,

If you have to spend more effort in the future, you may not be able to succeed. You should think carefully about it."

After saying that, Shao Xun looked at Tang Jian and said, "Go and tell the farmers that they won't receive food after the autumn harvest, so they can eat it with open stomachs this year."

Tang Jian immediately sent someone to pass the news.

After a while, the farmers were stunned for a moment, and then cheered enthusiastically.

Shao Xun laughed and looked at Yin Xian again.

Yin Xian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are benevolent."
