The official document was sent to Jia Nan, the left attendant of the military department. Since last year's Northern Expedition, Jia Nan has been so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, and the fat on his body is less than ten catties, but he is much more energetic. Jia Nan laughed at himself for being tired, he went to the yamen before dawn every day, and was so busy that he returned to the party, and sometimes when it was curfew, he simply lived in the yamen. The Son of Heaven returned to Beijing, and Ding Dawei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also returned, Jia Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't need to go to the Wenhua Hall every day to listen to the courtiers quarrel.

Holding this "Invitation to Set Up Two Military Towns Outside the Pass", Jia Nan frowned before looking at it, thinking that this Jiang Jingluo envoy was really not the master of Ansheng, so he drove away the Western Regions Alliance Army for a few days, and thought about setting up a military town outside the pass.

The most important thing is that there is no need for the court to pay more for food, which can not only train soldiers but also make profits, and even after the protection of the military town, the business travel can be increased by 20%, and the taxes in the border city can also increase.

If others say this, Jia Nan will definitely scoff, but Jiang Anyi said that Jia Nan has seven points of belief, the reputation of the gold hand is well deserved, a few days ago, Mrs. complained that the price of perfume in Beijing has risen by three percent, and this small bottle of things is more expensive than gold, and his own little money is not enough to buy a few bottles of perfume.

Thinking of the perfume Jia Nan's eyebrows wrinkled again, when he heard the rumor that Jiang Anyi was trapped in Dali Temple, Queen Wang came out to help, and the price was to let the Jiang family give her the perfume industry in Beijing. It is said that Yu Shangshu's second son, Yu Jiale, inadvertently said after getting drunk that he used to take care of the perfume shop, but now it has changed to the Wang family.

Jia Nan had dealings with Jiang Anyi, in his heart Jiang Anyi was a capable minister and a cadre, he was ordered to go to Huazhou in danger, and drove away the Western Regions coalition army in less than three months. If only the Son of Heaven hadn't been sick, thinking of the princelings in the court and the family of King Chu'an, Jia Nan sighed "sighs", the country is in an eventful time.

After reading the official document at hand, he picked out the important ones, and together with the article "Two Military Towns Outside the Pass", he took it to Ding Shangshu's official house. Ding Dawei has returned from the Zichen Palace, the official party is full of people who have affairs, Zhenbei City is at war with the desert people, the military department is in charge of the selection of generals and military registration, ordnance, military orders, army transfers, defense changes, rest and other things, and also has to coordinate with the household department, the Ministry of Industry, money, food, ordnance and other matters, at present, the military department is the most busy yamen.

Jia Nan waited for a pillar of incense, and everyone left, Ding Dawei saw Jia Nan and said with a wry smile: "Jia Fatty, I finally know why you lost ten pounds, the old man is so busy that he is dizzy, and when the north is settled, he will beg to return to the Son of Heaven, and this military department will have to rely on you to support it in the future." ”

Jia Nan laughed and said: "The adult is not yet the year of the sixtieth year, and he has to be busy for at least ten years. Ding Dawei laughed, took the official document from Jia Nan's hand, and motioned for him to sit down on the side.

Ding Dawei read the official documents very quickly, and while reading them, he took a pen and wrote his opinions on the paper, and the several official documents brought by Jia Nan had to be submitted to the prince and discussed with everyone in the Zichen Palace. After reading "Two Military Towns Outside the Pass", Ding Dawei asked: "Jia Nan, what do you think of Huazhou's military town?" ”

Jia Nan said: "Lord Jiang's vision is indeed superior, setting up a military town outside the pass is equivalent to stretching out two horns outward, attacking and retreating, and defending, which is really a magic way to deal with the people of the Western Regions, not to mention that various benefits are also mentioned in the song, which are beneficial to the country, and the lower officials think it is feasible." ”

Ding Dawei put down the chapter, stood up and poured a cup of tea for Jia Nan, and sighed: "This Jiang Anyi is indeed a talent, he has made many military exploits in Mobei, and recently drove away the Western Regions Alliance Army and was promoted to Pingshan Marquis. It's just that he acts radically and leaves no way out, which may not be the way to stay for a long time. ”

There is also a sentence that Ding Dawei did not say, if the Son of Heaven dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, Jiang Anyi may have a difficult step. His perception of Jiang Anyi gradually changed from bad to good, in his early years, he was punished by the Son of Heaven for half a year because of Liao Jianhui's affairs in Huangsha Pass, Ding Dawei was born in a poor family, and half a year's salary was enough to make him unhappy with Jiang Anyi, and later Jiang Anyi became popular, and everything he did was for the country and the king, and this unhappiness was gradually replaced by admiration.

Jia Nan said with a smile: "Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, Lord Ding has presided over the military department for many years, two northern expeditions, resisting the invasion of the Western Regions, and quelling the turmoil are inseparable from the master's strategic work." ”

Ding Dawei said: "Lord Jia is worthy of being from Guanglu Temple, a mouth can coax people to death, what I have done I know in my heart, but it is just mud." ”

Pointing to the song on the table, he said: "Tomorrow, I will play the prince truthfully and let the two ministers decide." By the way, Jia Fatzi, why don't you go to Zichen Hall with me tomorrow? ”

Jia Nan's head shook like a rattle, and said: "My lord, let's spare the lower officials, the court is noisy, and the lower officials still don't go to be scolded." ”

Two sighs, sounded at the same time.

…………

On the second day, Zichen Palace, Huazhou's recital really sparked controversy. Kong Xiang and Ma Xiang disagreed, Kong Xing thought that since Huazhou did not use the treasury money and grain, he might as well give it a try, while Ma Suizhen believed that the establishment of a military town in the Gobi would inevitably trigger countermeasures from the countries of the Western Regions, and the resumption of war would not be conducive to the country, and it would be necessary to wait until the northern border was stabilized.

Shi Chongwei supported his chin with his right hand and listened casually, Zichen Hall has become a vegetable market for more than a month, noisy, no wonder his father always said that the Son of Heaven is difficult. His eyes swept over the corner of the hall, and in the shadow stood the palace eunuch Lu Mingli, who was sent to observe every day soon after his father returned to the palace, and Shi Chongwei knew that this Lu Gong would report the important events and his own disposition to his father.

My father's illness is getting worse and worse, and judging from the words revealed by the imperial doctor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive this winter. Shi Chongwei couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart: panic, sadness, and some unspeakable expectations. His eyes fell on King Chu'an, who was standing and silent on the left, and his younger brother was like a sword out of the sheath, with an aggressive arrogance, confronting him in the court.

Shi Chongwei's gaze became cold, and he reprimanded him several times in the main hall and was told by Lu Mingli to his father, but his father sent Liu Weiguo to warn him that there should be no personal grudges in governing the country. I bear it, and I'll settle accounts with you when my father and emperor go to I. On the other side is King Luo Huai, Shi Chongren stands without a standing face, hippie smiling face, his eyes are rolling around, he looks careless and has nothing to do with himself, Shi Chongwei has a dark anger in his heart, people are so strange, Shi Chongjie is not happy to fight with him, and Shi Chongren is not happy to protect himself.

"Long live the ministers, and the state assassin history Quanxing Qing reported that Huazhou took the opportunity of recruiting troops to lure the people to defect with small profits, and thousands of people in the state dragged their families to Huazhou in the name of recruitment, and Quanxingqing asked the court to issue a strict prohibition." Ji Tianming, the secretary's right supervisor, said.

In order to ensure the stability of taxation, the Zheng Dynasty only allowed the people to move within a hundred miles, and more than 100 miles needed to go to the government to issue a road guide. Since the Wei Dynasty, the movement of the people has been divided into four types: first, immigration, which is the relocation or resettlement of the people by the government in order to enrich a certain place; The second is the displaced people, people who have left their hometowns for refuge and survival due to disasters or wars, such as the people who fled to Bingzhou after Huazhou was invaded by the Western Regions Coalition Army, and the government has the responsibility to resettle and rescue these people and send them back to their hometowns after the disaster or war subsides; the third is the nomads, these people are not engaged in agriculture, they are idle, and the government is forced to repatriate or assign them to serve in the frontier; Fourth, hooligans, hooligans and fleeing people, these people are unstable factors, the government has always been suppressed, and the people who were coerced and attacked by the Yuanhua River embankment belong to this category.

These four flows will be transformed into each other, and once there is a large-scale movement of people, the government has always been strictly controlled. The recruitment of soldiers in the Anxi camp is allowed by the court and approved by the Ministry of War, so the people can go to the local government to apply for a road guide to enlist, and the recruits are young and strong in the family, and it is normal for the old and young women and children in the family to follow the main laborers, so Quan Xingqing cannot be forced to keep people, and can only ask the court to order a prohibition.

Shi Chongwei said: "There are only more than 70,000 soldiers in the Anxi camp, and the court is fighting with the Moren in Zhenbei City, and there is no supply of troops at all, so Gu will let Guan Pingzhong recruit troops." Naturally, there will be a population flow for recruitment, and it is not too late to give an order after 160,000 horses have been recruited. ”

Jiang Anyi is a straight bachelor of Chongwen Pavilion, he has done things in the East Palace, Shi Chongwei looks like he respects the teacher in front of people, Jiang Anyi drove away the Western Regions coalition army, won glory on the prince's face, and spoke with more confidence, of course Shi Chongwei has to help.

"The matter of setting up a military town outside the Guan, let the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and Huazhou do what they can, and the palindrome to them stated that the court is in a tight situation and has no money and food to support." Shi Chongwei paused and said: "I heard that Huazhou exchanged the captured Western Regions Alliance Army for 300,000 captive people, and also exchanged 2 million taels of silver, Jiang Qing is a good hand at trading. The treasury was empty, and in order to drive away the Western Regions Alliance, the court allowed Huazhou to use last year's taxes, and now that Huazhou has money, it should return last year's taxes to the court. Huazhou Assassin Shi Fang Shishu asked Huazhou to be exempted from this year's taxes, and let Huazhou pay three million taels of taxes to the treasury this year, if they still have money to build a military town, let them go. ”

The news that Huazhou was preparing to set up two military towns outside the pass was quickly reported to the Taiwei Mansion, Taiwei Zhu Wennan was already sick in bed and could not be a director, Changshi Zhu Zipu looked at the sand table map in front of him, he had served as the governor of Anxi for many years, and he was very familiar with the terrain of the Gobi, so he planted two flags on the sand table, stared at it for a long time, and said to himself suspiciously: "Jiang Anyi is preparing to go west?" ”

In the Shenguo Mansion, Wang Keming heard about the establishment of a military town in Huazhou, looked at the map on the wall and said with a smile: "Jiang Anyi intends to go west, but unfortunately the old man is trapped in the mansion, and I don't know if I can see him in the Western Regions." ”

Turning around, he picked up the wine bottle on the table, raised his head and drank wildly, the wine dripping down from his gray beard, and tears poured out.
