nine thousand years old

Chapter 302 Besieged on All Sides (Fourth Change)

As soon as Su Hanyun's words fell, the atmosphere in Chengqian Hall instantly became dead silent, with a particularly heavy meaning permeating, that Bai Hou frowned slightly, stood up, and said with an unconcealable solemnity in his voice,
"Master, 5000 million taels is not a big amount for the current state treasury, and it can be taken out completely. However, there is one thing that you may not know yet."

"what's up?"

Su Hanyun glanced over several people, noticed something strange, and asked in a low voice.

"This has to be said by the Minister of the Ministry of War."

Bai Hou cast his eyes on a young man who also came out of the academy back then. He is currently the minister of the Ministry of War, named Chen Ru. He took a deep breath, took out a file from a few cases next to him, and sent it to In front of Su Hanyun, he said with an unconcealable solemnity in his voice,

"This is an urgent battle report from Liaodong!"

"I just received it, and I haven't had time to send it to the governor, please look at it!"

Hearing the words Liaodong Battle Report, Su Hanyun's face froze immediately, and his brows furrowed uncontrollably. He opened it hastily, and the words in black and white came into view. Then his brows furrowed even more, and a vague evil spirit escaped.

News came from Liaodong that Beiliao and a dozen or so small countries around it had frequently mobilized troops recently. Liaodong leader Zhao Changlong sent people to secretly investigate and found that the Liaodong countries had secretly formed an alliance. Deliberately invaded the border of Dazhou.

Although the news has not yet been confirmed, Zhao Changlong's judgment is basically indistinguishable from such a large-scale movement by the other party. Zhao Changlong is worried about a sudden attack from the Liaodong kingdoms, so he asks the imperial court to send troops, food and grass for support, just in case of accidents!
"Master, the Liaodong incident may not be groundless."

Minister of the Ministry of War Chen Ru took advantage of the time when Su Hanyun was reading the dossier and said in a low voice,

"In recent years, the Great Zhou implemented a new land policy and sent many people to Liaodong. Although the prosperity of Liaodong City is not as prosperous as Chang'an City Jiangnan and other places, it is more than several times higher than before."

"The countries in Liaodong must have some unruly plans!"

"In order to prevent the development opportunities of Liaodong's defense from being affected, we must not let Liao and other troops enter the border of Dazhou. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Our painstaking efforts for several years may be ruined!"

"Therefore, the funds for Liaodong, such as food, grass, soldiers and horses, must be supplied. This is not a small amount. According to my estimate just now, it may be 3000 million taels!"

"With this amount of money, and another 5000 million taels, the national treasury will be in real trouble. Please think again, Lord Governor!"

"call……"

Su Hanyun understands what Chen Ru said. Although Dazhou's economy has been booming and the national treasury is full in the past few years, it is also doing a lot of things. Not much silver!
However, Japanese slaves must not be underestimated.

"Do you know that our family wants this 5000 taels of silver, and this is what they want to do?"

After pondering for a moment, Su Hanyun told the story of Wonu in a low voice, especially the development of Wonu in recent years. The faces of several ministers in the six books became more and more serious when they heard this. Su Hanyun was not unreasonable to worry. The coast, especially the affluent places in the south of the Yangtze River, is the source of half of Dazhou's economy. If it is threatened by Japanese slaves, the impact on Dazhou will definitely be no less than that of Liaodong!

"But this silver..."

A few people sighed again, 8000 million taels of silver, the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn't afford so much.

"Report."

"An urgent report from Guan Long!"

Just when the atmosphere in Chengqian Hall was extremely oppressive, there was another low and hurried voice from outside the main hall. This sound broke the dead silence in Chengqian Hall, but made the atmosphere even more depressing. Minister of the Ministry of War Chen Ru He hurried out and walked in with a dossier not long after.

The solemn look on his face became more and more obvious!
"What happened?"

Su Hanyun and others hurriedly cast their gazes on Chen Ru. Chen Ru sighed slightly, with a trace of nervousness and trembling in his palms, he opened the file, his eyes swept over the black and white words, and his body couldn't help shaking slightly for a moment. , almost fell to the ground.

"The Huns of Guanlong have also made moves!"

"what?"

Hearing the words, everyone had an unconcealable dignified look on their faces, and a hint of shock. Su Hanyun got up all of a sudden, went directly to Chen Ru, and pulled the file over. He looked down, his face The evil spirit on the ground became more and more intense.

Sure enough, something happened to Guan Long!
Snapped!
A burst of unconcealable energy erupted in his palm, directly blasting the dossier into powder, his eyes were extremely gloomy, he gritted his teeth, and said to himself,
"Eastern Liaodong, Guanlong, and the coast of the Japanese slaves are all left to the south now. This matter is not that simple. Chen Ru, send people to the south immediately to investigate, investigate the coastal countries. We have not paid much attention to it. Over there, there may be movement too!"

"This……"

Several people were shocked when they heard the words, especially Chen Ru, who knew the state of the southern countries best. Dazhou has been busy recovering and developing these years, and he really didn't pay much attention to that side. According to the current situation, The situation, there is likely to be trouble over there!
This may be some huge conspiracy targeting Da Zhou!
"I'll send someone to investigate right now, and prepare the southern coast for emergencies!"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ru left Chengqian Hall with a particularly solemn expression, and walked out of the palace, and soon the figure disappeared from sight.

The atmosphere in Chengqian Palace became more and more depressing and dead silent. The expressions on the faces of all the people were almost extremely serious, as if there was a mountain pressing down on the people's heads, and the dead silent atmosphere was indescribable.

"These things can be done in secret, so don't say anything about it for now."

After a moment of silence, Su Hanyun took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

"Master, the matter about the Japanese slave mission..."

Minister of the Ministry of Rites frowned slightly, with an unconcealable solemnity on his face. Now that he had guessed the purpose of the Japanese slave mission, how to deal with it was a troublesome thing.

"Take it as if you don't know anything for the time being, and welcome the Japanese slave mission!"

Su Hanyun frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, now that the other party hasn't made a move, obviously things are not fully prepared yet, so he just pretended not to know, made secret preparations, and stood still.

"Wei Chen understands!"

The Minister of Rites cupped his hands slightly, and then left Chengqian Hall.

"For the matter of silver, the Ministry of Households will find a way to send the grain, grass, weapons, etc. from Liaodong. These actions must be fast and secretive, so as not to cause large-scale turmoil, and then allocate 2000 million taels to the academy. Construction cannot be changed!"

"The rest, think of a way!"

Su Hanyun gave another command in a low voice, and then left Chengqian Hall with a particularly gloomy expression. The atmosphere in the hall became more and more depressing. Several Shangshu glanced at each other and left with sullen faces.

They have to hurry to get ready.

Da Zhou may be about to usher in a real test...
