Hubu Shangshu's face changed greatly: "How much grain and grass?" Are you the sand of the northwest? We also have to move south, how can we pull out so much grain and grass? You are lions with their mouths wide open! ”

It is indeed a lion who opened his mouth widely, and Wang Gelao, General Lin and others were also a little pale-faced when they heard it, and the sky-high asking price was not the key method.

Yun Ye was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he also felt that his uncle's opening just now was too big, so much grain and grass was unimaginably large for their desolate clan, even for Da Zhou, it was a huge amount.

Yun Chang didn't feel embarrassed, because this amount was just a sky-high asking price, in fact, he was also a little unhappy in his heart, after all, those who were directly blocked just now without even having to talk about it.

Yunchang coughed dryly: "This is not only the grain and grass needed for winter, but also the grain and grass to prepare the troops, from the Great Wilderness to Qin Town, you have to march all the way to Qinzhen, Qin Town is not easy to fight, I don't know how long it will take, and the strong men in the clan have come out to fight, and the women and children in the clan also have to live, and they have to migrate, which is difficult." ”

General Lin was a little displeased and said, "It is true that food and grass are needed to send troops, but is it possible that the desolate clan is not prepared at all?" So why did you send troops every year before? After breaking through Qinzhen, the war was fed by war, and there was so much grain and grass that it could not be used up. ”

Wang Ge Lao said: "The army can use war to attack Nanchu, as for the grain and grass used for migration, as well as the grain and grass used for resettlement, it is still too early, besides, once Nanchu is defeated, only the captured grain and grass are enough for you." ”

The military department Shangshu said: "Yes, now let's talk about the grain and grass that supports you for the winter, of course, we can also support a little bit of the grain and grass you send to the army." ”

Yun Chang shook his head and said: "Elder Wang Ge, General Lin, this is a bad word, although it is possible to raise the war with war, but it is easy to break through Qin Zhen and impeach?" It will take a lot of time for the army to attack Qinzhen, and we can't support it alone. ”

"You also know that last year, our desolate clan did not invade the Great Zhou and the grassland again, and Nanchu was heavily guarded and didn't grab much, and the little reserves in the clan have already been exhausted!"

In the Tongwen Pavilion, you come and go, I am not lively, everyone said that the mouth is dry, but the little officials who are busy preparing tea.

After a brief lunch at noon and an hour's rest, they began to quarrel fiercely again.

It wasn't until the sun set that Wang Ge Lao was a little tired and said: "It's getting late, let's get here today, let's go back and sort it out, think about it, and let's continue to negotiate the day after tomorrow." ”

After all, Wang Ge Lao is old, and the main forces of today's discussion are the Household Department Shangshu, the Military Department Shangshu and the Rite Department Shangshu, these three people are younger, but even so, Wang Ge Lao's voice is a little hoarse.

But the most relaxed is General Lin, although he has a furrow in his chest, but when it comes to words, he is not as good as a civilian official, unless it involves military affairs, otherwise he is easy not to speak.

After all, Yun Ye was young, he had never experienced such a battle, and he didn't have such deep knowledge, so he had no choice but to stare dryly, and only Yun Chang faced Wang Ge Lao and the others alone.

Yun Chang is not as good as Wang Ge Lao and others in terms of words, but after all, he is a master and full of energy, so he has to grind more.

Even so, Yun Chang's voice was a little hoarse, and he nodded: "It's okay, then we will continue the consultation the day after tomorrow." ”

After leaving the Tongwen Pavilion, although they were all very tired, everyone was very excited.

Wang Ge Lao they are excited because now the general policy has been decided, the return of the desolate clan is almost ironclad, and the rest is just to grind the grain and grass.

And once Southern Chu is captured, the current effort will be more rewarded, because Southern Chu is more abundant in grain and grass, and the land of fish and rice is known as the granary.

Yun Chang and Yun Ye were also excited, although they hadn't completely decided yet, they could also estimate the general range, and they also knew how much grain and grass they could get.

Therefore, they are very excited, seeing that they can destroy the temple, move out of the great wilderness, and still get so much food and grass, can they not be excited?

Yun Chang and Yun Ye's excitement is like a person who is used to being poor and hungry and suddenly makes a windfall.

Back at the Sifang Pavilion, Yun Ye sighed with emotion: "The treasury of the Great Zhou is really rich, in fact, the grain and grass given by the Great Zhou are not less. ”

Yun Chang nodded and said: "Well, for the time being, it is enough for our clan to spend this winter, but we still have to make persistent efforts, and we can pick out a little bit to calculate a little, which is insignificant for Da Zhou, and it is of great use to us to show a little bit between our fingers." ”

"Although the court is very talkative now, who knows what will happen in the future? After all, there is still a place for the imperial court to use us. ”

Yun Ye nodded and said, "What Uncle said is that one more load of food is a load!" ”

When the uncle and nephew of the Yun family said this, Wang Ge Lao and the others were also in the Qianqing Palace, and what kind of progress had been made in the negotiation with the Desolate Clan today, they naturally had to report to the emperor.

Wang Ge made a general statement, and Peng Shangshu added on the side, and the voices of several people were a little hoarse.

Listening to Wang Ge Lao's report, Tang Ning said with some emotion: "They have accepted my proposal, and the matter of the desolate clan's submission is a certainty, but I didn't expect them to ask for so much. ”

Wang Ge Lao said: "It's really too much, the emperor's proposals are very pertinent, but they are all fools?" ”

Tang Ning smiled: "Look at them almost like a baht, it's also because they're crazy and hungry, so it's okay to let them go." ”

Tang Ning said that it was actually a joke, but he didn't know what Yun Ye said, saying that when he heard Yun Ye say that he took out a load of a load, he knew how poor the desolate clan was.

Wang Ge Lao hurriedly said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, although the treasury is full, but the southern expedition will cost countless grains and grasses, so we must also be careful, besides, this grain and grass is also accumulated by the people of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and it can't be cheapened!" ”

Peng Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, what Wang Ge Lao said is that the grain and grass of our Great Zhou are not blown by the wind, although the barren people want to return to our dynasty, it is natural for us to support them, but it is also to support them to survive the cold winter, after all, I have also promised countless grains and grasses in the south." ”

Although Peng Shangshu said it implicitly, the meaning is obvious, although the desolate people have surrendered, but after all, they are not really Da Zhou people, just give them some food and starve to death, support them to migrate to the southwest, and they also need to be self-reliant.

Wang Ge Lao and the others all nodded, obviously the same meaning.
