Spend a huge sum of 1 billion taels of silver to build a city in the remote Youzhou?

This is the plan that the Regent made before leaving Kyoto!

Although labor-for-relief can solve the living problems of the affected people, what is the difference between this and the Emperor who spent his national efforts to build the Changle Palace?

Li Wenhou frowned immediately: "There are so many places that need to be used!"

"Especially, the major border troops reported to the Ministry of War were missing the military equipment that was lacking!"

"The Ministry of Revenue has calculated that it will cost trillions of dollars to replenish the armament of the four major border troops..."

After a pause, Li Wenhou said with great caution: "Ningguo is uneasy, and the threat we face is not only in Wu!"

"If the other three parties start a war, where will the food and grass come from? Where will the arms come from?"

"The officials thought that the Regent was young after all, and there would inevitably be mistakes in what he saw. The Chief Minister should correct his mistakes to avoid Ningguo from suffering more disasters as a result!"

"Even if we want to build a city in Youzhou... Xiaguan thought that it would be several years later that Ning Guo really stood up and the treasury was truly full, and it was definitely not now!"

Wen Zhuoyu finished listening to Li Wenhou’s words with a smile, but suddenly said: “Sit down and have a cup of tea.”

Li Wenhou didn't sit down, he was very worried!

Li Chenan's move is too ridiculous.

If Ningguo is destroyed because of this, it will not only be Li Chen'an who will be scolded by thousands of people, but even the entire Li family will probably become the target of criticism by the literary people in the world.

Who can bear such a sin?

"Last winter night, when the Regent told me about this, I had the same view as you, but after I listened to his analysis, I thought he was right!"

"The Regent believes that the greatest danger to Ningguo is the north, and the deserted people in the north have now transformed from a nomadic tribe with a loose sand into a unified country."

"The deserted people are warlike, which will make the northern part of Ningguo the most uneasy."

"In contrast, the other three parties of Ning Kingdom faced the country, Yue Kingdom now has no time to advance west due to the dispute over the throne. No matter which prince of Yue Kingdom ascends the throne to the throne, within three to five years, what he has to do must be to consolidate his imperial power."

"Besides, the eldest son of the emperor is the nephew of the current Yue Kingdom. Although this affection is nothing in the face of imperial power, the Yue Kingdom and Ning Kingdom culture are in line with each other. They must ultimately emphasize that one's teacher is famous."

"Although the Xiye Kingdom, which is west of our Ningguo, reached Linshui Pass in Guangling Prefecture during the Jinghua period, Xiye Kingdom is now facing the threat of a great wilderness country that is adjacent to it."

"Yuwen Feng returned to Dahuang City with Princess Sulin. I think it will be a letter of nationality in the future and invite our court to send people to their wedding... At the same time, in order to consolidate his supreme position among the deserted people, Yuwen Feng will announce to the world the official establishment of the Great Wilderness Kingdom. He is the first emperor of the Great Wilderness Kingdom!"

"This will inevitably attract the attention of Xiye Kingdom, because Xiye Kingdom is also very aware of the barbaric people of the desert."

"In this way, our dynasty will be safe within three to five years."

"As for the Uighurs, there is no need to worry. They must first enter Shuzhou when they enter Ningguo. Shuzhou, there are soldiers from Zhongli Mansion."

"The most likely war to happen to us is Wu, so the Regent gave priority to supplying the largest number of fireworks in the Red Flame Army..."

"Next, our major border troops will be equipped with artifacts such as fireworks. At that time, no one of us will be afraid!"

Li Wenhou listened carefully, but the wrinkles between his eyebrows did not stretch at all.

Although the analysis of these situations makes sense, the reasoning thing is often the most unreasonable.

In case of one mistake in judgment, Ningguo now will definitely not be able to withstand two major battles at the same time.

Unless the artifact of fireworks can be equipped with major border troops as fast as possible, unless the best weapons can be delivered to the hands of major border troops as fast as possible.

All of these require money!

He didn't ask, because Wen Zhuoyu spoke again:

"The Ministry of Works has sent craftsmen who have mastered the method of making fireworks to the city guarded by the four border troops."

"The cost of this thing... is actually very cheap. In addition, the Regent said it was easy to build this thing. Therefore, once the firearm workshops of the border soldiers were built, this thing can be produced in large quantities, which is enough to at least be unbeaten in the city!"

"But the disaster in the northern part of Mobei and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, this is the biggest hidden danger!"

"If Ji Tai remnants raise their arms and shout in the north... People will starve to death if they are hungry for a long time. They will eat people at the moment when they look back!"

"So the matter of labor-for-relief is the most important thing at the moment!"

"First, the people have a bite of food and a place to survive, so they will not be easily exploited."

"Secondly, the establishment of Yanjing City is completely different from that of Changle Palace!"

"Mobei needs a military center!"

"We must be prevented from invasion by the deserted people at any time!"

"The Regent said that he would defend the Mobei region and he would defend half of Ningguo's territory!"

"I think the Regent's policy is far-sighted and beneficial to Ningguo's foundation for a long time. Therefore, I did not object... I hope you can also take into account the overall situation... It is not the Regent's policy to be too ambitious, but the current good strategy!"

The wrinkles between Li Wenhou's eyebrows loosened a little, but suddenly asked: "What will happen if you make a mistake?"

Wen Zhuoyu stroked his short beard and smiled slightly: "How can a person live in the world without taking steps because he fears mistakes!"

Li Wenhou left worriedly.

He hopes that the negotiations at the Honglu Temple will have a better ending.

...

...

Honglu Temple.

Wu Qian and his party came, however.

When he followed Li Wenyuan into the wide room of Honglu Temple, he was suddenly shocked.

Because there was only one person sitting in front of the large table in this room.

An old man with white hair and beard, but energetic.

I think he is the former Duke of Cheng Guo, and now the subordinate of the subordinate of the province, Cheng Jingting.

Cheng Jingting sat down loudly, just watching Wu Qian and his party walk in. He just reached out to greet him:

"Sit as you like."

"I'm old and have no energy, so you don't have to show me any gifts."

"By the way, little kid,"

Cheng Jingting suddenly pointed at Wu Qian, "Is that old thing Xia Mochou dead?"

Wu Qian suddenly felt less beautiful.

Xia Mochou is the father of Duke Xia of Wu and the current Minister of War Xia Liu.

He is also the once famous general of Zhenbei.

The guards are the Seven Cities Villages in Xiayuanzhou.

Back then, after the Red Flame Army destroyed the Yong Kingdom, it occupied Wuya Pass. When I got on the car, Lu Zhanxiao led his troops to attack Xiayuanzhou and had a battle with Xia Mochou.

In that battle, Lu Zhanxiao suffered losses from his troops and generals, but did not get any advantage in Xia Mochou's hands.

Of course, Xia Mochou also suffered a lot of losses and was unable to counterattack Wuyaguan.

After that, Lu Zhanxiao was transferred back to Kyoto, Ningguo, and Xia Mochou still managed the Qichengzhai. Today, the Qichengzhai has changed from the former military camp to the seven heroic cities.

At this point, Ningguo's threat to Wu Kingdom became much smaller.

This is Xia Mochou's great achievements. In addition, Xia Mansion in Dongxu City was originally a nobleman of Wu, so his father simply enthroned Xia Mochou as Duke of Xia to show his great grace.

Wu Qian also sat opposite Cheng Jingting, raised his head slightly, and said:

"Although Duke Xia is old, he can still dig a bow of ten stones. But you... it seems that there is really no one in Ningguo!"

Not only was Cheng Jingting not angry, but was happy:

"Of course, I will use this useless person."
