Before Li Junche could speak, the Prime Minister was the first to stand up and said, "I think it's inappropriate. The weather is getting colder and not suitable for marching. Moreover, Linyue Kingdom has undergone sudden changes. The situation in Kyoto is still unclear. It's the right time, the right place and the right people to send troops now." If you don’t take it, please think again.”
Zhongshu Ling and others also stood up to persuade the emperor.
The Minister of War looked at King Heng and saw his eyes shaking, so he simply stood there without saying a word.
The emperor's eyes stared at Li Junche.
Li Junche raised his head and stared at the emperor, "Sending troops to the Linyue Kingdom. The ministers expect to capture the Linyue Kingdom Kyoto in one year. The eastern suburbs camp plus the soldiers and horses on the border total 300,000 troops. Have the Ministry of Household's provisions for the year been properly prepared? ?”
Standing behind Li Yuheng, Minister of Revenue You Zhicheng felt the emperor's gaze and had to stand up, "I can only hold on for half a year."
"Pa." Li Jingxing slapped his palm heavily on the desk, and his whole palm turned red.
But he seemed to feel no pain, and glared at the Minister of the Ministry of Finance angrily, "You Zhicheng, you have eaten up all the tax money from various places this year!"
You Zhicheng immediately knelt down in fear, with his upper body lying on the bluestone bricks, "Your Majesty, although the drought situation in various places this year is not as serious as that in the thirteen cities in the north, it has affected the harvest to some extent. The flood across the river has caused the princess to take another two million taels of silver. , If the troops are dispatched in February next year according to the original plan, then the tax collected this autumn will be collected into the national treasury. "
The emperor sat heavily on the dragon chair and glanced at Li Junche.
He knew about Wen Jinhe's previous transportation of grain from the capital to Nancheng, and the matter of crossing the river dam first. If he opened his mouth to her again, he might not be able to get any money out of it.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, Li Junche said in a very calm tone: "My son believes that envoys should be sent to Linyue Kingdom as soon as possible to investigate. If Wen Mingting killed his father and usurped the throne to ascend the throne, as soon as the news spreads, Wen Mingting will lose the support of the people. "
Everyone present looked at Li Junche in shock, killing his father?
Although they had this suspicion in their minds, they did not dare to speak out.
First, Wen Mingting is already the crown prince, so there is no need to kill his father to seize the throne; second, the prince is too sensitive to kill his father, and King Che has too much power in the court. After saying this, the emperor may be worried about whether King Che will kill his father. Father.
Before Li Jingxing could send envoys to Linyue Kingdom to congratulate the new emperor on his enthronement, an urgent letter from the border of Beidi Kingdom, which was 800 miles away, was delivered to the Ministry of War in a hurry.
Linyue Kingdom's border troops sealed the border and did not allow people from the two countries to communicate with each other. They even killed civilians who resisted.
"Is he showing off his power to me? Should the next step be to start a killing spree in our Beidi Kingdom?" Zhezi was thrown heavily into the court by the emperor.
Li Junche bent down and picked it up. After reading it, he handed it to the prime minister and sealed the border. This was in response to his princess's move to evacuate the border city of Linyue Kingdom.
It has only been a few months, but it has already been effective. Wen Mingting even ordered the killing of his own people, which is not a good thing.
After going to court, Li Junche came to the Imperial Study Room and told him about Wen Jinhe's little moves against the border of Linyue Kingdom.
The emperor's eyes softened slightly, "Does she still have spare money to send to the border?"
A trace of tenderness flashed across Li Junche's eyes and his face darkened, "That was what happened before my father asked her to build the cross-river dam. Jinhe was worried about her son, thinking that this move would help her attack Linyue Kingdom next year. When there is less resistance and less danger.”
If you still want to set your sights on my wife and squeeze her to death, even if you are my father, I will not let you go.
North Nancheng.
Wen Jinhe squatted on the gray stone soil halfway up the mountain, put down the shovel in his hand, and crushed the fine coal soil with his index finger and thumb, "This is the thing. Find someone to investigate carefully nearby to see if there are any other places. "
He Shi rushed down the foot of the mountain.
Wen Jinhe stood on the mountainside and looked at the snowy peaks in the distance. The weather in the north was too cold. Mu Mingqian said that from December to February of the next year, as many as 100,000 people freeze to death. .
Ordinary people will cut firewood in the mountains before winter comes and save it for heating in winter. Some people will even fight over a bundle of firewood. Those who cannot survive the cold winter will freeze to death.
Winter temperatures in the south are higher than here, and the number of deaths is less than one percent of those in the north.
The price of charcoal fire is too high and poor families cannot afford it.
They wish they could put all their clothes and quilts on the bed to keep warm at night.
Fei Yi had never felt that he was so busy. When he was in the capital, as the Minister of Industry, he had a group of people waiting for his orders. The most important thing was that those people, including the emperor, did not have as many ideas in Princess Che's mind.
Since coming to Nancheng, I have been studying every day, and those unsigned books have been one after another. Princess Che has only taken advantage of him.
Well, in fact, Mu Mingqian and Song Zhiyuan were also very busy. They were away from the post house all day, even if it was raining, they would wear raincoats and run outside.
They do physical work, while I do mental work.
Wen Jinhe sat in front of Fei Yi, "I have spent so much time training you, so when I return to the capital, I have to think about my princess."
Fei Yi flipped out the sparkling book in his hand and stopped for an instant, then continued to pretend to be dead and concentrate on research.
In mid-December, Wen Jinhe started selling anthracite coal in Nancheng.
Three pennies per pound is cheaper than charcoal.
The people who worked at Yuehe Dam saved two months' wages, and in order to spend the winter safely, they returned the wages to Wen Jinhe.
Every household carried anthracite coal home to keep warm.
Su Huaizhi and Sun Fugui came from Shuonan City and Capital City respectively.
The construction of the cross-river dam, the operation of the cement plant and the excavation of coal mines allowed Wen Jinhe to mobilize all the manpower of the thirteen northern cities.
In order to make another profit this winter, Wen Jinhe ordered people to quickly transport anthracite coal to various cities in Beidi Kingdom for sale.
Li Jingxing, who was in the palace, looked at the anthracite in the charcoal basin and said, "Fortunately she is a woman."
If he were a man, he would not be sent here for marriage, and these good things would all belong to Linyue Kingdom.
Princess Qinbao looked at Li Jingxing who was talking to himself, "Second sister-in-law has the talent to be a businessman, can capture the world's wealth, and can also improve people's lives. It's the second brother who gets the advantage."
Whether they are emperor or queen, there is no comparison between King Heng and King Che, Princess Heng and Princess Che.
The emperor stared at him, "King Heng is your biological brother, why don't you support him?"
Princess Qinbao didn't expect Li Jingxing to ask her this question. When she realized it, she spoke in a voice as low as a mosquito, "Prince Che is also my brother. My second sister-in-law and I have a good relationship, and my father obviously favors my second brother."
