Chapter 688
It's getting colder day by day, and the dew on the plants has gradually changed into white frost. We can see that the long winter is coming again.
The battle report of Chang'an reached Qingzhou through the post station yesterday, and the news that King Zhao was captured aroused a thousand waves.
The people cheered, not only to celebrate the victory of the war, but also to expect their son and husband to return from afar.
The officials thought much more than the common people. When King Zhao was captured, the fragmented state of Dayu was united again. Basically, Dayu was unified on the surface.
After all, the king of Wei, the king of Yan and the king of Liang all died, and the king of Zhao could not escape death.
In this way, the remaining vassal kings were the king of Chu, the king of Huainan, the king of Yong, the king of Ruyang and the king of Shu.
In the eyes of the ministers, in addition to the king of Chu, the other vassals were not worried.
"Emperor, the army is expending a lot. Now the war is progressing smoothly. Just leave Luo Hong to attack Zhaodi. The rest of the army should return to their respective stations as soon as possible."
Pang Yukun said in a loud voice in the political hall.
Xiao Ming nodded. During the period of the western expedition, the army almost emptied the Treasury. Now Xiao Ming really realized that the so-called war was really fighting for money.
In addition, he recruited 390000 strong men to transport grain, grass and ammunition in this war. These strong men also needed food and drink.
Because of their participation in the war, this year's state food production has also been affected to some extent.
There are no strong men in their families, so many people can only reduce the land for farming, and even some people can only waste the land.
However, this was only one of the negative effects brought by the Northern War. What bothered Xiao Ming most was Yandi, Liangdi and the royal land to the west of Yunzhou.
The captured cities not only failed to bring him any taxes, but also the plunder of the three kings and the war caused the displacement of the people in these areas. On the contrary, the assassins in various states and counties asked him to allocate money and food to relieve the victims.
In the past, Qingzhou Treasury was relatively rich, but now it's really like water flowing into the sea when it extends its rule to the whole North.
”Play! "Xiao Ming spat out two words," in addition to Niu Zhen, let the troops of King Huainan and King Yong return to their respective vassals, otherwise my Treasury will be destroyed by them. "
after hearing the speech, all the ministers showed helpless smiles. This time, King Yong and King Huainan showed a very positive performance in the war, which made the imperial court very satisfied.
However, the imperial court was responsible for the food and fodder for the two expeditions. King Yong did not need to say that Yongdi was poor now. If he had no money and food, his soldiers would have mutinied.
When he attacked Yingzhou, the king of Huainan paid for food and money at his own expense, but after he went to Chang'an, he asked the imperial court to provide food and grass.
The king of Huainan didn't take the opportunity to blackmail. Huainan was a second-class feudal state with Limited talents and financial resources. Yingzhou was very close to the king of Huainan, so he could supply food and grass, but he couldn't maintain food and grass all the time during the expedition to Chang'an.
On the whole, he was self-sufficient in the first half of the war, and after Juyongguan's war, he had the support of the imperial court.
It's a heavy pressure on Qingzhou's Treasury to produce nearly 200000 more troops to eat. After all, he also spent a lot of money on purchasing various mineral resources to manufacture guns and ammunition.
At the same time, the North has been destroyed, and the business chain of the North has been broken, which has reduced the profits of the chamber of Commerce a lot.
At present, the maintenance of the profits of the chamber of commerce basically depends on the trade with the king of Chu and the Dutch.
After talking about the withdrawal of the army, Pang Yukun continued: "emperor, general Niu has made a great progress this time. There are seven Shangzhou, fifteen Zhongzhou, thirty-six xiazhou, and a total of 163 counties. So many counties need a huge number of officials. At present, Qingzhou has not enough officials to send to these places."
As the saying goes, it's easier to fight the country than to defend it. Xiao Ming's army laid down so much land, and then faced the problem of management.
He said: "as Pang Shoufu said, there are really not so many officials in Qingzhou now. There is an urgent need for a group of experienced officials to manage these places and restore people's livelihood for me. Moreover, I get the news that the barbarians have withdrawn from Korea. Next, the barbarians will surely launch attacks on the passes along the Great Wall. If the lack of officials leads to the failure of the garrison troops to get supplies in time This will be a disaster for the state of Dayu. Now Dayu has more defense and less attack. It will take some time to recuperate. "
"The emperor, in fact, it's very easy to solve this problem. There are many officials in Chang'an City, and when general Niu attacked the counties, there were also many local powerful families to help. These powerful families often have people who work in the counties. As long as the emperor can appoint them, the management of these counties will not be a problem. "
" naturally, I have thought about this question, but can these officials and the rich be trusted? "When he received the war report, he was thinking about this problem, and found that the only way is to appoint the old officials of the States and counties.
Now he finally understood why, when Cao Cao beat Dongwu in the period of the Three Kingdoms, the counsellors cried out to surrender one by one.Because they know very well that if they change their master, the master still needs their help to manage the occupied land.
But even so, the officials have to choose, choose, try to keep the excellent officials, let the bad officials go home.
"Emperor, when I was in Chang'an, I knew a little about the officials in all parts of the state of Dayu. I was willing to take up the post and select the officials that I could use for the emperor." Fiji said positively.
Seeing this, Pang Yu Kun suddenly laughed: "old Fei GE has always been indifferent to his own affairs. How can he care so much about the appointment of this official now. "
" Pang Shoufu's words are different. It's only the duty of a minister to share the emperor's worries. "Fijian said with a smile.
Pang Yukun was on the alert that the appointment of this official was extremely sensitive. If Fiji was allowed to dominate, he might gather a large number of officials for himself.
Now that the Conservatives have more and more power to speak in the court, he is more and more uneasy. So he said to Xiao Ming, "emperor, the old age of Fei Ge is high. I'm afraid that some things are not enough. The lower officials are willing to share the matter for him. "
Xiao Ming's eyes went back and forth on them, and he said," in this case, the selection and appointment of officials will be jointly worked out by you, and then it will be handed over to me for review. "
"Yes, Emperor." The two said together.
After a pause, Xiao Ming continued: "I feel that in this rebellion of vassal kings, I am determined to study and strengthen the Qin political reform, and officials are the top priority in the implementation of the new deal. I thought about it all night yesterday, and I am ready to split the Bowen college."
