Yijing, Governor's Mansion,
A small meeting was going on in Zhongyong Hall. Ye Mingsheng looked around at the people in front of him and said calmly:
"You all have seen Lin Huaiwu's memorial now. Please share your thoughts..."
After Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, none of the civil and military officials in the Zhongyong Hall seemed to have the intention to come forward. Yuan Song, who saw this scene, also understood that as the chief of general staff, he now had a unshirkable responsibility, so he just stood up. Advice:
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, after receiving Commander Lin's suggestion, our colleagues at the General Staff Headquarters have been conducting sand table deductions. The result of the sand table deduction is that if the situation on the front line is true, then Commander Lin's plan is still more likely to succeed. very high!"
"But you also need to pay attention to the time. It is already the end of September, and winter will completely enter in two months at most!"
After receiving Yuan Song's suggestion, Ye Mingsheng nodded, and then looked at Cui Shao, who was standing first on his left.
Feeling Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Cui Shao also stood up and said:
"Commander, this year is a good harvest year. The thirteen granaries in Youyan's various places are basically full of grain. However, according to the plan, Youyan has to transport a total of 500,000 shi of grain to Qilu, Yunbin, and Anqing. , so now there is still a surplus of 200,000 shi of food in Hebei Province!"
"As for finances, after retaining the operating funds of various government departments, our Youyan Chief Secretary currently still has a balance of 110,000 taels of silver... ···”
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly, and then asked the Financial Secretary Zhang Juning on the side:
"How much money can our army still use at present?"
Zhang Juning heard this and introduced;
"There are about 220,000 taels of silver in the Treasury of the Financial Secretary!"
Ye Mingsheng frowned a little and continued to ask:
"How much money is left, including the special budget?"
"Tell me, Marshal, if you include the special budget, there will be about 350,000 taels of silver left!"
When he heard that it was only three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, Ye Mingsheng's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, but he still asked:
"Zhang Juning, have you and the staff calculated how much money it will cost to merge with the front line if we follow Lin Huaiwu's strategy?"
Zhang Juning said without thinking:
"We have calculated that the minimum daily consumption is about five thousand taels of silver. If the intensity of the war escalates, the daily consumption of silver will be even more!"
After getting this answer, Ye Mingsheng felt a headache, but also silently calculated in his heart, because Jinzhong has been at war in the past two years, and the Fengwu Army has recruited a lot of troops, so in order to reduce the burden on the people, Ye Mingsheng not long ago An order has just been issued to exempt the people of Jinzhong from taxes for the next two years, including this year.
In addition to eliminating taxes from Jinzhong, in order to support the reforms in Anqing, Qilu, and Hebei, as well as to improve people's livelihood and support local infrastructure construction, Ye Mingsheng is not planning to collect taxes from these three provinces this year.
In addition to keeping taxes in the local area, Ye Mingsheng also plans to support a batch of grain from Youyan and Liaoyang to stabilize local grain prices and try to ensure that most people have food to eat and no one starves to death. Condition····························
Therefore, if the Yunbin War wants to continue fighting, it must rely on Liaoyang and Hebei and Henan for support. Because a big disaster occurred in Liaoyang, many people were involved, which caused some people to feel insecure and work efficiency dropped a lot. , the Chief Secretary's accounts have not yet been audited, and according to the rules, money and food cannot be used until the audit is completed.
So for the time being, we can only rely on the support from Hebei and Henan. Now the Chief Secretary of Hebei and Henan has 110,000 taels of silver, and the Financial Secretary only has 350,000 taels of silver including the special budget. He will get some money from Dadongsheng Trading Company. , it seems that it is not difficult to raise five hundred thousand taels of silver.
However, this is all the wealth that Fengwu Army can mobilize now. If something happens in the next two or three months, Ye Mingsheng will really be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng looked at Yuan Song again and asked:
"Does the General Staff have any other plans regarding the current situation in Hebei and Henan?"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Yuan Song once again said on behalf of the staff:
"At present, the enemy's threat to our army's logistics supply line on the Yunbin battlefield has been much reduced. However, the enemy's main force still has about 70,000 soldiers and horses. Under the deployment of the enemy's troops, the two cities of Dagu and Pingyun have become The forces of the two armies echo each other and support each other. If our army attacks head-on, it is very likely to fall into a bitter battle..."
Hearing what Yuan Song said, Ye Mingsheng also understood the subtext of his words. After thinking for a while, he made a decision:
"Approved Lin Huaiwu's combat plan! All departments must do their best to ensure the logistics supply for the front line of Yunbin!"
"Tell Lin Huaiwu also! I'm waiting for good news from him in this battle!"
"yes!"
After Ye Mingsheng made the decision, the meeting gradually came to an end. After discussing some details, the meeting officially adjourned. Ye Mingsheng also leaned on the chair a little tired. In the recent period, the arms smuggling in Liaoyang has become a battlefield. The counterattack and the chaos in Gongdu all involved a lot of his energy, making him feel a little exhausted both physically and mentally.
The only good news in the recent period is that Wang Xuecheng has stabilized the situation in the palace capital. The rebels under Li Xuanchang in the palace capital have been compressed to the vicinity of Kangshan Port. If nothing happens next, Li Xuanchang will at most If you struggle until the end of the year, you will be completely destroyed.
As for the eucalyptus in Liaoyang, although Ye Mingsheng had a premonition at the beginning that this matter would involve many people, but to be honest, it was so far-reaching that Ye Mingsheng did not expect it. But now that he has decided to investigate, Ye Mingsheng Ming Sheng has already made up his mind that no matter who is involved in this matter, he will get to the bottom of it!
This time he really wanted to see how much mud would be brought out when pulling out this radish...
The only thing that worries Ye Mingsheng now is the situation in Yunbin. Although the civil servants represented by Cui Shao and others did not express any opinions at the meeting just now, Ye Mingsheng has noticed that there are already voices among these civil servants who believe that Yunbin has already We have recaptured Wankang County, Pingrong County, and Lingyuan County. We can just stop when we are ready. There is no need to continue to waste people and money and continue to attack Pingyun and Dagu!
Ye Mingsheng is not a person who enjoys great achievements. He has also thought about these voices. However, after comprehensive consideration, Ye Mingsheng decided to insist on completing the set combat goals and put more pressure on the Luo'an court!
The current Luo'an court is relying on Shangguan Hongyuan. Internal and external troubles are precarious enough to describe the complexity of their internal situation, so they have to put more pressure on them from the outside. In this way, even if Luo'an cannot The disintegration of the imperial court can also make the internal strife of the Luoan imperial court more serious!
While Ye Mingsheng was thinking carefully, Ye Cheng, the chief attendant, seemed to notice Ye Mingsheng's fatigue and came to Ye Mingsheng's side to report:
"Commander, there is nothing important to do this afternoon. The fumigation room in the mansion has been repaired. Do you want to go and experience it?"
Hearing Ye Cheng's proposal, Ye Mingsheng's eyes suddenly lit up. After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"Is Zhixiu in the mansion today?"
Ye Cheng glanced at the sky outside and said:
"My lord, it is now three o'clock. Mrs. Pei is returning home at Shen Shi. It is less than an hour away from now..."
Ye Mingsheng also nodded and said after hearing this.
"Ask the chef to prepare a pot of hot-pot meat for me, and ask Qian Changjiang to come over."
"yes!"
After half a stick of incense, Ye Mingsheng moved to the side room. At this time, a copper stove hot pot was already set up in the side room, as well as fresh lamb slices, vermicelli, cabbage, dried tofu, mugwort, coriander and other dishes. In addition to the dishes, there is also a small jar of wine on the table. This is the health wine that Bae Ji Soo specially mixed for him!
Ye Mingsheng only knew that this wine contained ginseng and wolfberry. As for what other medicinal materials were added, he was not sure. However, after drinking this wine, he did feel that he slept better and was more energetic. In the end, he felt that he slept better and was more energetic. The important point is that this wine has a unique aroma, a soft entrance, and is not easy to get drunk. Even if you are a little greedy, you will not have a headache the next day and delay your work.
Feeling the bursts of heat radiating from the copper stove hot pot, Ye Mingsheng suddenly felt a little hungry. During this period, he had a loss of appetite. At noon, he had a meeting in the afternoon, so he didn't eat well and only ate two pastries. Padded.
Facing this rich table of shabu-shabu, he immediately started to enjoy it. First, he mixed himself a bowl of chili mahjong peanut sauce, and then poured the whole plate of mutton that the chef had just cut into the pot. Likaishabu··························
Compared with shabu-shabu one by one, Ye Mingsheng prefers to eat the whole plate in the pot. Shabu-shabu one by one is really not satisfying, so it is more enjoyable to eat the whole plate together. Just when Ye Mingsheng was enjoying his meal, the door of the room opened again. , an elegant scholar wearing a long gown walked in.
This person’s name is Qian Changjiang. He is a very popular storyteller in Yi Jing recently. He is especially good at telling Water Margin. When Ye Mingsheng went to Chenji Teahouse for tea some time ago, he heard this person’s storyteller and found it very interesting. So this paragraph It was also time for him to enter the house and prepare to read stories to relieve his boredom!
When he saw Ye Mingsheng, he immediately wanted to kneel down and salute, but Ye Mingsheng waved his hand indifferently and said:
"Mr. Qian, you told me about the Fengxue Mountain Temple last time, please continue talking to me now."
"Yes! I understand, little one!"
After hearing Ye Mingsheng's instructions, Qian Changjiang was in a good mood and began to preach in a straight tone:
"Teacher Lin entered the temple door and closed the door. There was a big stone next to it. He pushed it over and leaned against the door. When he entered and looked inside, he saw a golden-armored mountain god on the temple, with a judge and an imp on both sides. There is a pile of paper piled on the side..."
While listening to the story, Ye Mingsheng drank wine and ate meat. He was really unhappy!
Half an hour later, Qian Changjiang finished talking about Professor Lin's Fengxue Mountain Temple. Ye Mingsheng also had enough to eat and drink, and then nodded with satisfaction and said:
"You're right! Go to Ye Cheng's place to receive the reward!"
Qian Changjiang was naturally grateful after hearing this. Although Ye Mingsheng did not allow the news of his coming to the Governor's Mansion to spread, the reward Ye Mingsheng gave him was also very generous. He came to the Governor's Mansion to tell Ye Mingsheng once, which was enough for him to stay outside. Various teahouses have been talking about it for half a month!
Of course, in addition to the reward, being able to storytell to Ye Mingsheng also made Qian Changjiang feel an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. He never thought that one day he would be able to storytell to a big shot like Marshal Ye. If this could be done Word spread that Qian Qian was a famous person in the storyteller business and was a person of great dignity.
Since there was nothing else important today, Ye Mingsheng planned to relax completely tonight. After soaking in the bath, Ye Mingsheng couldn't wait to come to the fumigation room.
Because he really likes the feeling of sweating during the fumigation process, in order to get a better experience, Ye Mingsheng also spent more than a thousand taels of silver to upgrade the fumigation room in Fuzhong to make the effect of sweating even better. .
Just when Ye Mingsheng was sitting on the stone chair with his eyes closed and concentrating, feeling the sweat seeping out of his pores, a burst of soft footsteps also sounded behind him... ···········
Although he didn't open his eyes, Ye Mingsheng knew intuitively who was coming at this time!
As a voice came to his ears, Ye Mingsheng also said calmly:
"coming!"
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, Pei Zhixiu hummed softly, and then slowly massaged Ye Mingsheng's back.
After another half an hour, Ye Mingsheng was lying comfortably on the bed, while Pei Zhixiu picked up the cup and cupped Ye Mingsheng with fire attentively.
As the bamboo cans were pulled out on his body one by one, Ye Mingsheng also felt some pain. In order to distract his attention, he asked Pei Zhixiu:
"How has your mother treated you lately?"
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, Pei Zhixiu cupped a cup on Ye Mingsheng's calf and said softly:
"My mother has always been very kind to me!"
After hearing this answer, Ye Mingsheng felt helpless and continued to ask:
"Is it better than before?"
Pei Zhixiu nodded and said softly:
"My mother gave Jingxuan a good long-life lock and a piece of peace card a few days ago. They are all very good things... ·”
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction. The relationship between Pei Zhixiu and Ye Cui's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a headache for him. He has also thought of some ways to try to improve the situation, but the effect has not been very good. This time Ye Cui took the initiative to come to Pei Zhixiu, which he considered to be a good opportunity!
(Due to special reasons, there are modifications! Please forgive me!)
