Tai'an Palace, Office of Documents.
It was founded in the 131st year of Tianyou and has been developed for more than 200 years. It covers a total area of more than 1,000 acres, has 19 large and small palaces, and more than 400 rooms. It integrates intelligence collection, document sorting, administrative supervision, etc. authority.
Information about the Wu Dynasty cannot be found here or anywhere else.
In other countries, the emergence of such a highly centralized decision-making body would have already resulted in high-pressure and terror, but the warrior expressed his calm and stable mentality.
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
The empress sat alone on the dragon chair and sneered coldly, "They are trash, they are a bunch of trash. If I hadn't been reminded by someone today, the Wu Dynasty would have fallen. We, the warriors, would not know how they died!"
After saying that, the empress kicked over the papers that were all on the floor, stepped on the memorials and came to the pale old man, "Xia Abacus, tell me now, how should I divide this year's coins? "
Taking a deep breath, Xia You "Xia Abacus" said with a ferocious look, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have only one opinion, fight, fight at the beginning of the new year, fight hard, beat the people of Song Dynasty into submission, beat them until the people of Song Dynasty are defeated It hurts, until they deliver food to your door!”
As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, this dynasty was calculated to be like this by the Song people. How can we talk about the demeanor of a scholar? Taking advantage of the new year's coins to enter the dynasty, with enough money and food, we will have a good meal first. As for the part that will not be enough to eat in the future, we will learn from the Song people. Just make up for it!
It's not that the officials present looked down upon the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had the courage to take advantage of the chaos and steal the chicken, or it was the greatest courage to weaken the Song Dynasty. In a head-on confrontation, the Song Dynasty would be broken in the end.
"beat?"
"How to fight? What kind of fight? To what extent?"
"Just talking about a fight, who among the thirty million warriors wouldn't say, what do I want you to do?"
The empress asked fiercely.
"Report to your majesty, we should join forces with the Ming Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. The Song people are planning to merge the states. In fact, they are still looking for Tongguan, Longmen, and Wangwu. They rely on the Yellow River to form a strategic depth for the natural barrier. No matter how big the plan is, the Song people still need to have the will and strength. Consider the ideas of Tang and Liao!"
Xia Abacus was criticized, and Da Sima Zhang He spoke unhurriedly.
Kyushu is in chaos, and the situation in the six countries is intertwined. A single move can affect the whole body.
The Wu Dynasty's military power was at its peak, but it was inherently deficient. The other five countries made a fuss about the economy and people's livelihood, and a tiger was born in a daze and was locked up as a hungry tiger or a sick tiger.
On the other hand, the Song people also had their own troubles.
The Song people occupied Sili and made Luoyang their capital, but the southern Shanxi region on the other side of the Yellow River had nothing to do with them.
Let’s talk about the North Gate. After all, the Yellow River has been lying there for thousands of years. No one can say that it does not exist. But the problem is that the lock of this gate is installed backwards!
Locked at Tongguan, Longmen, and Wangwu. If the people of the Song Dynasty don't take these three places, when and how to open the door will all depend on the person's mood. How can the people of the Song Dynasty sleep peacefully?
"Foreign affairs are well settled. It is easy to detect in advance that this dynasty will defend the royal palace. It is not difficult to guard the royal palace. It is difficult to do internal affairs. I recommend a thorough inspection of the country's fields and an inspection of the country's grain depots!" Xia Abacus said.
"I second the proposal!"
The division between military affairs and civil affairs was not so clear in the Wu Dynasty. The Great Sima did not think that a coward like the Song people could cause much trouble if the Wu Dynasty was well prepared.
The key is food!
When someone hits you, you just think about how to fight back, but if you don't eat, you're really doomed!
"very good!"
The fight was unified, that is to solve the problem of food. Empress Shi Shiran returned to the dragon throne and said, "My master gave me some advice and also gave me some advice. I think the direction is feasible, but the details need to be considered. You will be happy." Think about it and make up for the shortcomings!”
The strategy of the equation is in the right direction, but the details need to be considered.
The officials in the court may not be sure about the general direction, but they are good at checking for leaks and filling in the gaps.
What is the way of the emperor?
From the perspective of the empress, the combination of the two, the unity of each other, and the combination of them together is the way of the emperor!
"Master, you are worthy of being a master with this plan!"
After some thought, Xia Abacus was the first to speak, "But I still need to ask, is this person controllable?"
The strategy is a good one. Lian Ming planned the Song Dynasty, turned the crisis into an opportunity, and made good use of the Song Dynasty people to avoid losing all their wealth. This is a strategy that is disappointing to the master.
But who is this expert? Is it faithful? Can it be trusted?
It’s the core of everything!
This is not because Xia You is jealous of the virtuous, but in fact it is the chaos in Kyushu, the emergence of demons and monsters, and countless conspiracies and schemes. An expert who does not know the basics comes up with strategies involving many directions without clarifying the origin of the expert. , he felt uneasy!
"Reliable, dependable, and controllable!"
The empress didn't want Fang Fang to live in the muddy waters of Kyushu, just as Fang Fang didn't want her to stay in the palace.
Hearing this, Xia Abacus and Da Sima looked at each other and said immediately, "In this case, the old minister has no doubts, but a thorough investigation of the country still needs to be done. One bite affects people's livelihood. There is no specific number. Let's put it down." No one is feeling uneasy, so I sincerely request you to gather together the three divisions, households, rites, officials, and soldiers to conduct an inventory of all the land, pastures, and grain depots in the country, and compile a new Yellow Book!"
"allow!"
I definitely need to investigate, but I won’t do anything about it for the time being.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xia Abacus returned to the queue, and the Grand Sima stood up, "Your Majesty, the eight-level system is feasible. The ministers can also serve as ordnance, and the Ministry of Industry supervises the two systems. I dare Your Majesty to give you the right to supervise the eight-level system!"
Many things are separated by just a piece of paper. Once you point it out, you will understand. Da Sima is in charge of the country's military and horses. He naturally understands the importance of military equipment, but he has not set his sights on the craftsmen before.
The emergence of the eight-level system will fundamentally reshape the military strength and people's livelihood of the Wu Dynasty, so why not support it?
"How to make it specific? I'd like to ask Grand Sima to come up with a plan first!" The empress did not agree immediately. After all, this is not a trivial matter.
"Old minister understands!"
Nodding, Da Sima returned to the team.
"Now the only thing left is to visit the Ming Dynasty. Who is willing to take on this important task?" The empress looked around.
Several people present were big bosses. The visit to the Ming Dynasty was important but they were not needed to handle it personally.
The reason for silence is not that I don’t want to do it, but that it’s too difficult to choose.
As long as people of Ming Dynasty don't have their brains soaked in water, this matter is destined to achieve great success. Everyone wants to leave it to their own family, but how can they eat it without looking ugly? Can you do things beautifully?
After a brief silence, everyone's eyes turned to the old man who was the only one sitting in the room.
The old man's head is sparse, his skin is loose and wrinkled, and his blue-white official robe has turned white after washing. I don't know if he thought he was an old man waiting to die. Maybe sitting here peacefully means that his identity is not simple.
"A bunch of bastards!"
Feeling everyone's gaze, the old prime minister opened his sleepy eyes and cursed directly, "I'm almost dead, and I still have to take the blame for you. I'm really not a son of a man!"
The words didn't sound good, but everyone present wanted to throw the blame away and at the same time wanted to get support from the old man, so they didn't care at all.
Seeing this, the empress didn't speak a word and just sat there quietly waiting.
A veteran of four dynasties, who held the power of prime minister for six times, the empress revived him and put him in the court, wasn't it just to bring in talents with him?
The old prime minister looked at the silent empress and cursed in his heart. He stopped stalling and said directly, "Huang Yi, the scholar at the Chongming Palace, has unparalleled talents. He studied in the Ming Dynasty in his early years and became friends with the Ming saints. They stayed with him for several years and traveled all over the Ming Dynasty. Each place can be the chief envoy, Wang Zuo, the Minister of Rites, who is experienced, can be the deputy envoy, and the rest can be collected by each family!"
