Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 101 Your Majesty, I am willing to go to disaster relief
Reduce the food and pay of the forbidden army by [-]%! !

These words were no less than a thunderbolt, which directly caused the generals to explode.

The big men in the scarlet robes with big arms and round waists stood up murderously, pointing at Qin Hui and Yan Song and cursing angrily.

"Yan Xiang, do you know what you are talking about??"

"The common people need to eat food, and the officials in Beijing need to eat food. Don't the Imperial Army want to eat food? Should they starve to death?"

"You two, the frontier army will mutiny if they have no food, do you think that the imperial guards in Beijing will not mutiny if they have no food..."

This time even the civil servants stared at Qin Hui and Yan Song dumbfounded, wondering why the two prime ministers came up with such a foolish trick.

The imperial army has always been domineering, not to mention reducing the food and pay by [-]%, even if it is reduced by [-]%.

Although there are many people who don't understand, there are also many smart people like Li Yuan and Yang Jian, who are either thoughtful or suddenly surprised.

Ignoring the generals who were blown up, Li Gan also frowned and stared at Qin Hui and Yan Song.

His intuition told him that these two veterans must have something else to say.

"Big companion."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch stepped forward and said loudly, "Silence!!"

The generals raged for a long time, seeing that their leaders were still sitting in front of them without any reaction, and gradually died down, but their eyes on Qin Hui and Yansong still remained angry.

"Yan Xiang, you continue." Li Gan stared at Yan Song.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yan Song didn't change his face, and continued: "Now the imperial court is trying to aid Yue to attack Wu. Since such a change has happened, it is better to lend all ten of the twelve guards of the imperial guards in the capital to the Yue Kingdom."

All the civil and military officials were stunned.

Sending the imperial court's imperial army to other places, wouldn't they stop eating the imperial court's food? ?

All the food and salaries of the expeditionary army will be borne by the Yue Kingdom!
Yan Song went on to say: "The imperial army will attack Wu, first seize Xuyi, and use it to fully connect the Jiqu, so that the Yellow River and Huaihe River will be connected."

"Take Shanyang, Yangzhou, and Yangdu in the whole Shanyang, so that the Yangtze River and Huaihe River will be connected. In this way, the southern section of the canal can be reopened!"

"The water boats go east along the Yangtze River from Hengshan and other counties, go north from Yangzhou to the canal, pass through Shanyang, cross Hongze and Huaihe Rivers, pass through Xuyi, and go north to the silted place in the Songzhou and Bianzhous. Here is the need to relieve the victims and dredge the river. place."

"There is a lot of grain, so why worry about not being able to use work as relief??"

Holy shit! !
Baiguan looked at Yan Song as if he had seen a ghost, and there was only one sentence in his mind.

Do you still have this kind of operation on horseback? ?
This is a great strategy!The only disadvantage is that there are only two guards left in the capital, and the strength is a bit small.

However, in addition to the twelve guards of the Forbidden Army, there are also four guards in the capital, including the left and right guards of Habayashi and the left and right guards of Huben, which is not too empty.

The current situation is special, and it seems that this can only be the case.

Li Gan also understood Yan Song's explanation, and unconsciously squeezed the armrest of the dragon chair, feeling very shocked.

Can you do this?

The reason why he could understand it was that in the books with pictures that Li Gan read, there were maps of Dagan.

Those who think of books with pictures as something good, need self-criticism and reflection here.

Combining those messy maps and the memories in his mind, Li Gan deduced a fact.

The plate of the Eurasian continent in this life is about two or three times larger than that of his previous life, so the territory of Dagan is also much wider than many dynasties in the previous life.

On the map of Dagan, it is clearly marked that the starting point of Tongji Canal—Xuyi, is located in the territory of Chu State.

However, when Li Gan was reading the book, Changsun Wugou pointed out a fallacy for him.

In recent years, the state of Wu has become more and more powerful. It has captured Xuyi and incorporated it into their borders.

This place is too important, mastering Xuyi means grasping the lifeline of the imperial court, and can cut off the water transportation at any time.

Moreover, it is marked on the map that Shanyangdu is also within the territory of Wu State.

This canal runs from Shanyang on the Huaihe River in the north to Yangzhou on the Yangtze River in the south, together with the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River.

If the imperial court seizes Xuyi, and then seizes this canal, it will control all the water canal sections except the Yangtze River in its own hands. From then on, it will no longer have to be frightened or restrained by others!
The tank boats in Hengshan and other counties sailed along the Yangtze River, and they could go all the way north from Yangzhou, taking the route of Shanyangdu-Huaihe River-Tongji Canal, so it would not be a problem to use work as relief.

It not only solved the food crisis in the capital, but also relieved the victims and dredged the canal, eliminating the crisis of the interruption of the water transportation invisibly.

Extremely ingenious and extremely flexible.

Li Gan sighed in his heart, in fact, this method is not difficult to think of, but it needs a flash of inspiration to bypass the blind spot of thinking.

This expedition will seize the canal, and the ministers must also know.

But now that the Tongji Canal is silted up, many people subconsciously feel that the canal is not important before it is open to navigation, so they throw the canal into a blind spot of thinking.

But Yan Song and Qin Hui grasped this aura.

If it is blocked in one place, it is not impossible to use other places!
As long as the imperial soldiers and horses seized Shanyangdu from Wu, the water boats would be able to drive to the blockage of the canal, and the grain on board could be used to dredge the canal!
Li Gan cleared his throat and said, "What do you think about the two prime ministers' methods?"

Only then did the officials come to their senses, and those generals who had berated Qin Hui just now turned red faces.

On the contrary, the civil servants blushed excitedly and said, "Qin Xiang and Yan Xiangzhen are ministers of the country!"

"Listening to what the two adults said, Mao Sai suddenly understood!"

"This strategy is like an antelope hanging horns, it is really wonderful..."

Anyway, flattery doesn't cost money, and it's over.

Yan Song didn't speak, but Qin Hui was very calm: "You colleagues have praised me absurdly. This strategy was conceived by Truth, Prime Minister Yan and other adults. I dare not covet the achievements of heaven."

It's just that Li Qian looked down from the "emperor's perspective" above, and he could clearly see the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

This guy is quite arrogant!
Li Gan didn't see it through, and continued to look at the ministers: "So, all the Qings agree with this policy?"

Some generals hesitated to speak, but most of the ministers responded in unison and expressed their approval.

Seeing the reaction of the ministers, Li Gan breathed a sigh of relief, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

I didn't expect that such a troublesome matter would be solved so easily.

He thought that he would spend two days at the court meeting just like last time.

"Since this strategy is feasible, let's quickly arrange disaster relief!"

Li Gan looked at the ministers, no matter how good the strategy is, someone must implement it, and the executor is very important.

"Which Qing family is willing to go to Xingyang, Bianzhou and other places to appease the people and relieve the victims for me?"

Disaster relief is a first-class job, and the civil servants who think they have this qualification look at me and you, and they all see the heartbeat in each other's eyes.

Now that the imperial court has come to a conclusion, after going to the disaster area, it must first settle down those victims and distribute less food so that they can survive this period of time.When the tank boat arrives, we will start to use work as relief!
How simple is it?

Many people can do it, it depends on whether they can win this qualification.

The atmosphere in the court gradually became a little tense. Everyone knew each other's thoughts, but no one stood up and was the first.

However, the tense moment didn't last long, and that figure stood up again.

He Shen's fat face was full of pain, and he stood up slowly and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I have received His Majesty's admonishment before, so I know that being an official cares about all people."

"This time I heard that people in several counties were affected by disasters, their fertile land and homes were flooded, and nearly a million people became refugees! My heart is depressed, burning like fire, and I worry about the lives of the people affected by the disaster all the time."

"At this time of distress, I would like to go to the disaster-stricken area on behalf of His Majesty to take the heavy responsibility of disaster relief, and to show His Majesty's compassion for all people."
