Tang Yin wanted to refuse Guo Tong's invitation, but on second thought, it's also good to get along well with him, right. At least there will be someone who will speak for himself in the court. He nodded with a smile and said, "then trouble Guo Xiang!"

"Oh! Your Highness the wind king is so polite." Guo Tong quickly bowed his hands and saluted.

After farewell to Guo Tong, Tang Yin returned to his palace. After lunch, ministers of Fengguo led by Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji came one after another to start the discussion of Fengguo. The imperial Council of Feng state is much more practical than that of the imperial court. There is no empty talk and empty words. What is discussed is military and political affairs.

Now Tang Yin is most concerned about the issue of military strength. After the discussion began, he first asked Qiu Zhen, "Qiu Xiang, how is the recent increase in recruits?"

Qiu Zhen stepped out of the line, bowed his hands and replied, "back to the king, 200000 newly added and trained troops have been sent to Hedong military camp. At present, there are 100000 recruits being trained in the capital, and nearly 100000 wounded soldiers. One month later, 100000 recruits can also be transferred to Hedong, but the wounded soldiers need at least three months to recover their combat strength."

Tang Yin was lost in thought and silently added up that 200000 recruits had gone to Hedong. With the 150000 troops originally stationed there, the military strength reached 350000. One month later, there were 100000 recruits, so it was more than 400000 troops. So much military strength should be enough to cope with the war against Nanjing. As for 100000 wounded soldiers, they can be used as their own backup, and can be sent to the battlefield when the war is difficult.

After pondering for a while, he nodded and praised Qiu Zhen: "well done. Qiu Xiang, conscription can't stop. Even if our army is saturated, we still need to continue to recruit!"

Qiu Yin and Zhang Yuanzhe know exactly what he wants to do next.

Recruiting soldiers and horses is not done in a word. It needs money. Now, because of the compensation of Ningguo, the Treasury of Fengguo has some savings. If there is a large-scale recruitment like now, I'm afraid this gold and silver will soon be lost.

Shangguan Yuanji is worried about the problem of food and grass. Although Hedong County, an important land for grain production, belongs to his own side, there are two counties in Fengguo that have just suffered from floods and many hungry people. If too many troops are collected, I'm afraid it will affect domestic disaster relief.

The two men looked at each other, both stepped out of the line, bowed their hands and said, "if the king continues to recruit troops without restraint, I'm afraid there is a shortage of food and grass in China (the Treasury is empty)!"

After looking at the two, Tang Yin nodded, then stood up and walked back to the table with his back hands. He said, "I know you two have difficulties, but I also have difficulties. If there are not enough reserve troops in China, once the front battlefield is deadlocked, even defeated and seriously reduced, it will be difficult for our army to support it?"

Hearing this, the ministers were shocked. It seemed that there was still war to be fought after hearing the king's words!

Zhang Zhe asked, "king, please forgive me for being stupid. I don't know which country the king will fight again?"

Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I'm just making an analogy. I didn't say which country to fight. It's always necessary to plan ahead!"

"But with China's current national strength, we should not maintain such a huge army in peacetime..."

Zhang Zhe still wanted to persuade him. Tang Yin interrupted him with a wave and said, "well, I understand what you mean. However, as the saying goes: the major event of the state of war, the place of death and life, and the way of survival and death must be observed. Being prepared is always better than being in a hurry during changes. That's it. Don't discuss it any more."

In a word, Tang Yin stuffed back all the views of Shangguan Yuanji and Zhang Zhe.

But fortunately, Tang Yin used his money to recruit soldiers, not to build palaces or indulge in extravagant entertainment, which can be accepted by the ministers.

Next, Tang Yin asked about domestic food and grass, and then ordered Xuan Wang, the manager of the Ordnance Department, to rush out as many equipment as possible. Of course, while listening to Tang Yin's order, Zhang Zhe was also bleeding in his heart. The Ordnance Department was a big spender of the Treasury.

Tang Yin's words and deeds are all preparations before the war, but people don't understand that Feng state has no war at present, the peace negotiation with Ning state has been reached, and Chuan and Zhen will attack in the future. The new monarch of Mo state has formed an alliance with his own side. Who else can we fight with?

After knowing what he wanted to know and explaining what he wanted to deal with, Tang Yin sat back on the throne, looked around the Minister of civil and military affairs below and said, "are you still busy?"

Qiu Zhen stepped out of the line again and said, "I have something to start."

"What's up?"

"As for the Nawu order issued by the king a while ago, the results have been obtained. A total of 16 people with high spirit and martial arts have been selected from all counties. Now they have all arrived in the capital and are ready to compete in the school military field in the Ming Dynasty. If the king can go to watch the war, it will not only pay attention to the Nawu order, but also inspire the 16 strong men selected, and will do their best in the competition! ”

After hearing this, Tang Yin suddenly heard that he almost forgot about it. He nodded and said, "I'm going! I must go."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Qiu Zhen bowed his hand and returned to his original position.

"If there is nothing else, you can go back."

"I'll leave."

"Cheng Jin stays." Before they left, Tang Yin added.

After the ministers left, Cheng Jin asked suspiciously, "what can I do for you, king?"

Tang Yin got up, waved to Cheng Jin and said, "let's go out for a walk."

Knowing what he wanted to say, Cheng Jin followed Tang Yin and walked out of the conference hall.

Outside, Tang Yin looked back and saw that Cheng Jin was so far away from him. He smiled calmly and urged, "go quickly!"

Cheng Jin has always been self disciplined, and his surname is rigid and rigorous. He doesn't dare to walk side by side with Tang Yin. Even if he comes forward, he is still a little behind Tang Yin.

Tang Yin didn't have his surname. He walked casually and asked, "is yuan Ziyi still in good order recently?"

Cheng Jin hurriedly replied, "it's very regular. There's no change."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, then sighed and said, "after Jiaxi's death, who will take over the post of captain of the second team of hidden arrows?"

"It's Zhang Xiao."

"Zhang Xiao?" Tang Yin didn't know much about the hidden arrows because their whereabouts were secret.

Cheng Jin replied, "Zhang Xiao is a rising embroidery in the dark arrow. He is calm, smart and has a deep cultivation. He is also second to none in the dark arrow."

"Oh?" Tang Yin became interested and asked with a smile, "is it still above you?"

Cheng Jin also smiled, shook his head again and again, and said, "there are more and more brothers of hidden arrows from all over the world. They come from all over the world. Among them, there are many experts, capable people come out in large numbers, and they are better than officials. There are countless."

Tang Yin said with a smile, "Cheng Jin, I can't see that I'm giving you more and more power to shoot hidden arrows. On the contrary, you're becoming more and more modest, but that's good."

Cheng Jin smiled bitterly. He really wished he was modest, but in fact, the number of dark spiritual practitioners with advanced cultivation in hidden arrows is indeed increasing, and there are not a few who are stronger than him.

Tang Yin said: "since the manpower of the hidden arrow is no longer a problem, the internal structure can be divided more finely. It is just that it is generally divided into three teams, which is too rough, and the rights of each captain are too concentrated, which is easy to cause trouble."

Cheng Jin's face was positive, and he arched his hand and said, "the king reminded me that after my subordinates go back, they will carefully draw up a plan, and then hand it over to the king."

"Yes!" Tang Yin answered, suddenly remembered something and said, "you can ask yuan Ziyi for advice on this matter."

Cheng Jin was startled. He quickly bowed down and said, "subordinates dare not..."

Tang Yin waved her hand and said, "Yuan Ziyi used to be an exquisite girl. She was in charge of such a large exquisite door. She must be superior in the management of an organization. You will benefit a lot if you ask her for advice."

After a pause, he smiled and said: "when I left the capital, she really stayed in the palace, dressed up as me, and didn't cause any trouble. It surprised me. It can be seen that your personal relationship with her must be good!"

In any case, Yuan Ziyi still belongs to his own enemy and is his own prisoner. He has a close personal relationship with Yuan Ziyi and is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Cheng Jin swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, "Your Majesty, subordinates..."

Tang Yin interrupted his explanation and said, "it's a good thing that you can get on well with Yuan Ziyi. Don't be nervous. However, you should also make good use of this and let her work for us as much as possible. It's best to bring her to our side!"

Hoo! Seeing that Tang Yin didn't mean to blame, Cheng Jin sighed. He bowed his hand and said, "yes! My subordinates will try their best." As he spoke, he felt chilly behind him. It turned out that the * * * behind him had been soaked in cold sweat for a long time.

Tang Yin looked at the relieved Cheng Jin and said with a smile, "as long as you can draw yuan Ziyi over, I will make matchmaking for you two in person." With that, he walked out with a smile.

Ah? Cheng Jin almost doubted whether his ears had heard wrong. A while ago, big Wang Gang said that there was no possibility between him and Yuan Ziyi. Why has the conversation wind changed again now?

However, this change was great news for Cheng Jin. He stood up in the same place for a while and then reacted. Seeing that Tang Yin was lucky, he hurried to catch up with him. His face turned red and stammered. He didn't know how to reply and said, "Oh... Thank you, King! No, my subordinates will do their best..."

It's rare to see the dead Cheng Jinyou blush. Tang Yin couldn't help smiling face-to-face.

Just then, suddenly, a clear copper bell came from behind them. At the same time, a figure rushed from the circular arch not far away.
