Chapter 1049: Fierce Battle (Twenty-Nine)

Naleng and Liu Yong are just the opposite, he is not happy at all. The state administration has become what it is now, and the fire is so big. Now he's getting angry almost every day. so that the crowd did not dare to come near him.

What is called a companion is like a companion tiger, which is vividly reflected in that leng.

People are like this, when things don't go well, they attack and change their anger, and the more angry they are, the more unpleasant their hearts become, and over time it becomes a vicious circle. And the most direct result is getting sick.

Naleng fell ill several times because of the liver fire, but he endured the illness and had to deal with the government, although the current government is left to fight, but the war needs money. In fact, it's the money that counts.

If you lose in the front and have no money in the rear, everyone will be on fire.

Naleng is in her forties and now looks like she is in her sixties. It's not just a little bit old. When his concubines saw it, they all felt distressed. But no one tried to comfort him.

The queen also said a few words and let Naleng have a good rest. The result was also a curse from Naleng. Say what is the time to rest? What environment is about to hit the doorstep. If you rest again, you will have to rest underground.

Since then, no one has dared to say anything about rest to Nalen.

At this time, he was waiting for news from the front in the side hall. He wanted to wait for news of Renta's victory, and even if it was a small victory, then he would be deeply pleased.

However, he waited for a few days, and there was no news of Nalunta.

"How many days has Renta been there?" Naleng asked one of the ministers below. This minister also worked in the Ministry of War. It's a soldier's squire.

The squire of the military department said: "Back to the Holy Lord, General Lunta has been gone for more than twenty days. ”

"Then why hasn't there been any news yet?" Nalen asked heavily.

The squire of the military department said: "Holy Lord, General Lunta may have just arrived, and he has not found the flaws of the Han army, so he has not attacked!" ”

Naleng listened to the words of this soldier squire, pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Well, this is also possible. ”

The squire of the military department said: "Holy Lord, please rest assured, the wisdom of General Elunta is definitely able to deal with the Han army. ”

Naleng nodded again and asked, "Let's not talk about this, how is the city wall of a major state capital town being built now?" ”

The soldier said: "Back to the saint, what is most lacking now is the pig iron plate!" ”

Na Leng frowned when he heard this, he knew very well that the current situation of this pig iron plate may not be able to be bought with silver.

"Is there any good way?" Naleng asked, frowning at the old high.

The squire of the military department said: "Back to the saint, the minister has sent people to Mobei and several vassal states in the northeast to let them collect pig iron, and we here, the minister has also ordered the people to donate all the iron products at home." It's just that now, it's too messy. The common people are also very poor, and they can't come up with any iron tools. Now let's see if the vassal states in Mobei and the northeast can scavenge some of them. ”

Nalen asked, "Now, how many cities have not built a second iron wall?" ”

The soldier said: "Back to the saint, the minister has made statistics, the military towns, plus the important locations of the state capital city-states, a total of twenty-two, and now only thirty percent of the second iron wall has been built, that is, eight. There are still fourteen to be built. ”

Na Leng nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "How big is the gap in the iron plate?" ”

The squire of the military department said: "Back to the saint, the number of iron plates in the hands of the ministers is only enough to build the iron walls of three more cities. ”

Naleng said: "In other words, there are still eleven cities that have no iron plates available?" ”

The squire nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. ”

Na Leng thought for a moment, and then asked, "Do you think you can get a few iron plates of cities from Mobei and a few vassal states in the northeast?" ”

The soldier said directly: "Back to the saint, the minister estimates that the iron plates of the four cities can be considered a lot." Our Mobei has always been short of iron tools, and I'm afraid I'm trying to make up the numbers, and I'm afraid I can't get much. It mainly depends on the vassal states in the northeast. However, the minister did not expect much. After all, those vassal states are also poor countries, and in the past two years, we have received an increase in tribute. Valuable iron tools have long been shipped to our court. ”

After listening to the words of the soldier squire, Na Leng couldn't help but sigh and said lightly: "It seems that at most, you can only build the iron walls of seven more cities?" ”

The soldier nodded and said, "Yes, the Holy One, it should be within this range, but there may be one or two less, depending on the situation of those vassal states in the northeast." ”

Nalen fell into deep thought.

The soldier didn't speak.

After a while, Naleng said, "Well, let's sift through these cities again, and choose the more important ones to build the iron walls." ”

The soldier nodded and said, "Okay, the minister thinks so too." I'm afraid it's impossible to build all the iron walls. ”

Nalen said: "Choose the most strategically important place. The rest of the city will also be added to the second wall, that is, no iron plates. ”

The soldier nodded and said, "The minister has written it down." ”

Then he said, "Are there enough men to build the walls now?" ”

The soldier said: "Back to the saints, they are all Han Chinese, and a small number of us Tarnu people. Just find someone in each city, it's okay. ”

Na Leng nodded and said, "Since you are Han, then you will be exempted from wages." ”

The squire said, "Even we Tatars don't have to be paid. ”

"How?" Nalen asked.

The soldier said, "Back to the Holy Lord, it is because most of our men are prisoners and soldiers, and some of them are sent to help defend the country. ”

Listening to the words of the soldier squire, Na Leng nodded and said, "Okay, so that we can save a lot of silver." ”

The squire of the military department said: "That's right, Holy Lord, in doing this, we will build this piece for almost no money. Just give them a bite to eat so that they can have the strength to work. ”

Nalen said: "Well, however, we Tatar people's food, whether it is a prisoner, a soldier, or a obliger, must give them a good meal, as for those Han people." Just fool around! ”

The soldier said, "Holy Lord, even if you don't give them enough food, they don't have the strength to work!" ”

Naleng said, "Eat enough, but don't give you good food." And we Tatars have meat to eat. ”

The soldier nodded and said, "It's the saint, Chen has written it down." ”
