Xiao Jiang said this suddenly, Su Hu couldn't help but said in shock:
"Could it be that the king suspects that Ji Chang will raise an army to rebel?"
Xiao Jiang said:
"It's useless to be suspicious or not. If you want to know his movements, it's best for someone to investigate secretly. However, Ji Chang has the power of deduction. If we send people there, it's inevitable that they will be discovered. The best way to know the truth is to get it from their mouths. After learning, maybe wait until they take action before confirming.
But no matter whether he will rebel or not, I have to be prepared. Now I hear that the Grand Master is leading the army to pacify the north, and he will not be able to win for a while. The army in Chaoge and various passes have to guard against the other princes. This is something that the royal family cannot avoid, and the two hundred towns under Xiqi are all wealthy places. If they rebel, the world will be in chaos once a war begins.
When the time comes, there is no telling how many people in the world will be accused of my misbehavior, cruelty, and cruelty. If so, I don’t know how many people in the world will be displaced, and I don’t know how many people will die of hunger as a result of the war.
In order to avoid man-made disasters caused by unrest in the world, Gu decided to secretly make preparations, not only to avoid possible rebellion in Xiqi, but also to deal with the crisis in Sebara. "
Bigan couldn't help but nodded and said:
"Be prepared for a rainy day and take precautions before things happen, especially since Ji Chang has been ready to make a move for decades. His strength under Xiqi's benevolent governance cannot be underestimated.
If it is according to what the king said, once he plans to take action, he will definitely spread a false stigma against the king and the royal family in all directions.
What preparations does the king intend to make, and what does the ministers need to do? "
Xiao Jiang said:
"Uncle Wang is mainly responsible for managing the country's economy, so you must hurry up and stock up on food and wages these years. Especially after I asked for military garrison in various places, you still have to build granaries in the passes. No matter what, it is better to persist in preparing for war than to rush when the time comes. many.
Uncle Wang not only has to manage the officials well, but also has to do good army logistics. I guess it will be hard on you in the past few years. As for the army, we have a hundred thousand troops in the north, and another two hundred thousand troops at various checkpoints and cities. We can’t do that for the time being. The army is being expanded with force. "
Bigan said:
"The king has worked hard to ensure the stability of the country. How dare I say it's hard work? But if Xiqi really launches an army one day, I wonder how many other princes are willing to work hard to eliminate the rebellion?"
Xiao Jiang said:
"Actually, anyone with a discerning eye can see this problem. The abbot is also a prince, and he has seen and heard about major events in the world. Please tell me about it."
Su Hu is the new head of the state. Although Xiao Jiang has not yet consummated his marriage with Daji, he has already completed the ceremony. Naturally, he understands the difference in his status among the princes.
Su Hu said:
"I believe that if Xiqi has rebelled, it is necessary to prepare in advance. Although the people in the world are suffering from chaos, the people in the world will not be suffering from peace.
The king has brought great benefits to the people of Yin and Shang in the past two years, so the people of Yin and Shang all support the king. These methods can be used by the king, but other princes cannot imitate them. This is one of the advantages of the king.
Secondly, the king has secretly prepared for war. The soldiers and horses have not used the food and grass to go ahead. Letting Uncle Bigan make this preparation shows that the king has unique vision. With the food and grass army, the people will not panic, and the ministers will not panic. Then the princes who support the king will also Don't panic.
Thirdly, although the two hundred princes commanding troops at Dong Bohou's headquarters were only 150,000, they could recruit double the number of troops during war, leaving the new army to defend against the barbarians, and the rest of the army could come to support.
In contrast, Bei Bohou and his subordinates have plenty of food and grass, but there are few people in the north, and there are still threats from the Di people. It is estimated that even if we send out all our troops, we will only have 30,000 to 50,000, and any more will be taken advantage of by the barbarians.
As for Nanbohou E Chongyu, this man was extremely scheming, and the population in the south where he lived was prosperous. If he were not often hit by typhoons and storms, given the vast land in the south, he would be no less powerful than Xiqi.
If E Chongyu sent troops, he was not sure whether it was King Qin or he had ulterior motives, so he couldn't say.
In other words, if a war really breaks out, the king can assemble an army of 400,000 without affecting the safety of various places. In theory, unless Xiqi and his princes fight as a whole, the king's military strength will not be afraid of them. "
Xiao Jiang said:
"Perhaps, the reason why I called the abbot here today is not just to ask about this matter. The abbot should know that there are immortals, gods and demons in this world, and even the Grand Master is a highly skilled Qi practitioner.
Seriously, if the world is in chaos and the enemy has a large number of highly skilled qi practitioners, the size of the army will not matter.
Does the state leader have any talents in this field? If there are people who hope to be reused by the abbot, try to find as many talents in this field as possible. If they are of high moral character, the abbot can recommend them to Chaoge. If they are of low moral character but have high cultivation, the abbot will secretly keep an eye on these people and say that they should be removed. Get rid of them when they fall. "
Su Hu nodded with understanding and said:
"I will do as your Majesty wishes. These demons, ghosts and gods are too powerful. If they are involved, they will inevitably influence the situation of the battle. I will investigate everywhere after I return."
Xiao Jiang was actually just trying to wake up Su Hu. He had Zheng Lun who was not bad at cultivation, at least not bad among cultivators.
Xiao Jiang has always had doubts about Fengshen before, that is, the system of cultivators in this world is extremely weird. Take Jiang Ziya as an example. He has no immortal life, but his cultivation can compete with demon immortals and even celestial demons. The same goes for other Many cultivators do not have immortal life, but their cultivation is no less than that of Taiyi Golden Immortal or even Daoguo Golden Immortal, and their life span is not long. In the end, they are either killed and placed on the list of gods, or they die.
Although Xiao Jiang still doesn't know the reason yet, he feels that this is an extremely big conspiracy, and he even said that it may be a big conspiracy controlled by the saints set up by the heaven in this world.
After chatting with Bigan and Su Hu for a while, the two of them excused themselves and left, because tonight was the wedding night of Xiao Jiang and Daji anyway, and it was enough to finish the official business.
…
In the Shouxian Palace, Su Daji, dressed in auspicious clothes, sat upright on her gums. When Xiao Jiang entered the palace and took a look, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said:
"Sure enough, she is naturally charming, no wonder she was chosen."
Daji smiled and said:
"Master is very interested. He actually brought Queen Jiang and Concubine Huang together to accompany you. After tonight, I will have to serve Master together with them. Master, I don't think anyone will say you are lewd and extravagant."
Xiao Jiang laughed and sat on the edge of the bed, hugging Daji and saying with a smile:
"If I was afraid, why would I bother with these things? But next I have to verify some things, which may be more dangerous than the inside story of the Conferred God. At the same time, I also have to calculate those useful Conferred God treasures.
Remember one thing, whether you are a pheasant spirit or a jade pipa, don’t take the roots of the prehistoric demon clan with you. This world is people-oriented. Once you think that cannibalism is nothing, then you will fall into the evil way and never stop. It's a demon cultivator.
Tonight is our wedding day anyway. I have saved Su Daji’s three souls and seven souls. Once you become a god, you will turn back to yourself. I also have to resurrect her. She and you are both my women. Now... …”
