Chapter 1409 Doing Business

The old and new aristocrats in the court of Chu did not know how many times they confronted each other, and the curtain ended with Xiao He's powerful counterattack.

Similarly, a battle report was also sent to Ying Fusu. Fusu issued an edict at the beginning, asking Jia Xu to mobilize the army from the country to the south, and come to station in Panyu with the dispatch. However, the personnel of Jinyiwei also paid close attention to Chu and Shu. battle.

So this battle has just ended, and a battle report with accurate statistics has been sent to Panyu Fusu.

In the battle of Nanguang, Chu and Chu had a decisive battle with a total of 60 troops. Chu lost nearly 15 soldiers; Shu lost [-] soldiers!

This is a very exaggerated figure.

Fusu was even more shocked, especially when he saw the phalanx of Han Xin's military pawns mentioned in the battle report.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Han Xin's military pawn phalanx was completely damaged in this battle; but also Li Yuanba, the number one general of the Shu Kingdom, was also seriously injured. Naturally, it is impossible to appear on the battlefield in a short time .

According to the statistics of the military strength of the whole country at the moment, Shu State can reach 60, which is not bad, but Chu State... I am afraid that the number of soldiers hidden in the country will definitely not be much less than that of Qin State.

"I hope Li Shimin can hold on for a while, and at least he can kill a few important figures in Chu State." Fu Su said with a smile.

Wang Mang had already come to Panyu from Xiang County, so he had read the report, so he had an idea: "Your Majesty, I do have a plan, but it's a little dangerous, and it's inevitable that I will feed tigers."

"Huh?" Fu Su asked curiously, "Tell me, I have said before that the people above the court should open their mouths. If you just listen to some pleasant words, then this country will not be far from being destroyed."

Fusu is now very relieved of the state of Shu. Li Shimin has been hurt by the strong attack of the state of Chu. Now that he has already formed an alliance with the state of Qin, he will not rashly launch an attack on the state of Qin.

"Our dynasty can secretly support some money, food, and grass for the Kingdom of Shu, so that the Kingdom of Shu and the Kingdom of Chu will fight more fiercely, so that there will be more casualties in the two countries, and according to the current situation, it is simply impossible for the Kingdom of Chu to destroy the Kingdom of Shu. It must be done, Li Shimin cannot escape the fate of extinction." Wang Mang said cautiously.

Zhou Shi's complexion on the side changed slightly, and Zheng He's eyes radiated a cold light, like a tiger holding back its prey; Su He really did not expect that this Lord Sheriff of Zhongnan County would come up with such attention .

Fu Su said: "Then according to what you said, how much support is the most appropriate?"

"I know that there is a lot of old grain in the treasury, but there are many metal mines in Kunming County and Ailao County. I can exchange grain and Li Shimin for these ores." Wang Mang saw that the emperor did not object to his suggestion , and continued: "If you do this, you can exchange the old grain in my treasury with iron ore, and the iron ore can be used to make weapons and armor. This is to prepare for the future war with Chu."

Fu Su pondered for a while, then his eyes fell on Zhou Shi and the others: "What do you guys think?"

Zheng He cupped his hands and said: "My minister disagrees. Every winter in our Daqin country, there will be snowstorms on the grasslands, so a lot of food is needed for disaster relief. If the old grain in the treasury is used to exchange for iron ore This thing is simply a prodigal act, there are unknowingly how many people in the world are waiting to be fed, the emperor can't do it!"

Fu Su nodded slightly, looked at Su He, and said, "What do you think of Su Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, when I was still under Han Shizhong's command, I saw horrible scenes of starvation everywhere, and I knew the price of food. This move by Mr. Wang is really a bit of a waste of money, no way!"

Su He is also a person who dares to speak his mind.

Zhou Shi couldn't wait for Fusu to ask, so he cupped his hands and said, "I don't want to either. My dynasty is in Tang County and Liaodong Kingdom. I don't know how many iron ore and copper mines are mined every year. Wa County also produces a lot of silver every year. Uncountable, Wang Mang, the minister, should be punished for saying this!"

Wang Mang's complexion changed slightly, and he sat on the ground in fright, not daring to speak; he knew the weight of Zhou Shi in the emperor's heart better than anyone else.

Fusu waved his hand and smiled: "Although this statement is wrong, I cannot be angry because of the minister's remonstrance. Wang Mang does not need to worry."

Hearing the emperor's words, Wang Mang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your minister made a slip of the tongue."

Fu Su cast his eyes on the desk, pondered for a moment and said: "After the spring, select one person to be the governor of Zhongnan County, and Wang Mang will follow me, just like Su He, planning for me."

Wang Mang originally thought that the emperor would find other things to beat him, but he never wanted to directly promote himself to the position of servant, so he couldn't help bowing his hands and saying: "I am grateful for your majesty's grace."

However, Zhou Shi looked a little unfriendly. After Su He arrived, he had been advocating with the emperor about the divine right of the emperor every day, hoping that the emperor would directly adopt his theory.

Emperor Piansheng was very interested every time, but in the end he just said that the time was not up, and he should not be too hasty. He asked Su He to reorganize his theory, and there will be a time when this theory will be carried forward in the future.

Every time Su He heard the emperor's words, his whole body was as excited as chicken blood. He always felt that he had received the emperor's praise, and in the future he would become like the ancient Mo Di, Kong Qiu, and Lao Dan. figure.

However, Zhou Shi felt that his status was threatened, but the emperor wanted to decentralize power, which in itself was beyond his control, so he had to get along well with Su He.

Although it won't take a few months for Wang Mang to join him, but fortunately Su He scoffed at Wang Mang's proposal, as long as he can unite Su He, Wang Mang will definitely be excluded.

Fusu just looked down at the various documents sent from Hancheng, but how could he know what Zhou Shi was thinking?
At the end, Fusu raised his head and pondered: "Although we can't directly exchange food for things, can I exchange weapons, food, and Li Shimin for women?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?" When Fu Su said this, even Zheng He's face changed.

Everyone thought to themselves, has the emperor really changed?No longer the emperor we knew?All you think about are women?woman?

Seeing the surprised and uncertain expressions on everyone's faces, Fusu coughed dryly: "You are thinking wrong, I am not that kind of lustful person, what I mean is to exchange grain and grass and Li Shimin for some women of childbearing age, and then have sex with them. Lieutenant generals are married, so wouldn't my Daqin have many more newborns?"

In this era, when the population is boundless and the basic requirement for measuring comprehensive national strength, Fusu is also "using everything to the extreme"!

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and said in unison: "This plan is very clever!"
