I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Before the news of Yan State reached Chang'an, the old father Liu Che had been worried about his son.

It was also a helpless move to hand over the country of Yan to Liu Tan. He had hesitated before, and thought about sending some people to guard the border, but before he selected several people to go out to fight, from Li Guangli to Zhao Puonu, they were taken down one by one. Like lowering his head, he would either lose the battle or go and be captured, which made him a little suspicious of his own vision.

And when Liu Tan went to the northern border country at the beginning, he wanted to give these two sons a little bit of trouble, and then when Liu Tan couldn't bear it, he would give him a better fief, but he didn't expect this. Hope's son gave him a big surprise.

So after thinking about it, he felt that instead of appointing a general who didn't know if he could do it, it would be better to let Liu Tan take over there.

Because of some hesitation, Liu Che actually discussed it in the court before issuing the edict.

He originally thought that everyone would definitely object, but he didn't expect that the only thing everyone was worried about was that it was inappropriate to give such a large fief to the king of the northern border.

Not only is it against the rules, but what if future generations use this as a precedent?

For things like precedents, good ones can be opened, bad ones can never be opened, and this... no one can say whether it is good or bad.

So at the end of the discussion, the Seventh Prince became a tool man and was named the King of Yan.

Everyone knows that this is basically deception. No one knows whether King Yan can live to adulthood, and when King Yan grows up, he doesn't know what will happen to the land of Yan.

Judging from everyone's reactions, Liu Che knew that the affairs of Yan State had become so difficult that even if everyone knew that this might just be drinking poison to quench their thirst, they still had to do it.

As an emperor, he is very decisive, but as a father, he is not worried about being fake.

Just when he was worried, he received a message from Yan State that Liaodong County was lost.

After hearing this, Liu Che was angry at first, and then very worried.

Jicheng is better than the original Shuofang County, and it is relatively west of the territory of Yan Kingdom, but the problem is that there are not many counties in Yan Kingdom. Liaodong County is lost, followed by Liaoxi County, and then Ji County.

His son was on the front line again, and this time it was more dangerous than last time. When Liu Tan went, the big man and the Xiongnu had basically entered a period of peace. There were minor frictions, but they would not easily go to war.

But Wuhuan is different, Wuhuan is now at a time when it is strong and prosperous, and all tribes are multiplying and expanding, among which the Bo Xi clan is the most powerful of those tribes in Wuhuan.

Now that they have conquered Liaodong, they may soon be sending troops to Liaoxi. When Liu Tan led the elite regiment there, he did not bring a particularly large amount of armaments, and even the elite regiment only brought 500 people. This is a night that worries Liu Che. Can't sleep.

Here, he hadn't figured out how to help his son, and then there was another memorial from the State of Yan. This time, the county magistrate jointly wrote a letter, denouncing the cruelty and inhumanity of the king of the northern border, wantonly killing the court officials, and letting the court decide.

All the ministers in the court felt very bad after knowing it: Your Majesty has been in a bad mood for the past two days, and you are still looking for trouble, everyone is really tired of life.

Sure enough, Liu Tan's letter didn't reach Liu Che, and everyone was forced to listen to the emperor's rare roar at the court meeting.

After Liu Che finished cursing, in the eyes of all the officials, these people were basically dead.

It's just that the situation in Yan Kingdom is special now. Everyone guessed that the emperor would not send someone to do it, but swearing must be necessary.

This time, it was reversed. In the past, officials from Yan State went to Shu, and the emperor scolded King Yan.

Now it is Yan State officials who go to the shuffle, and the emperor scolds these officials, not only scolding them, but also threatening them, and praising his son for doing the right thing.

In fact, through the previous crisis, the ministers of the DPRK and China already knew Liu Tan very well.

Especially after Liu Tan came back, everyone thought that the King of the North would take advantage of this opportunity to intervene in the government affairs of the court in order to gain more influence, but they didn't expect this one to go to study some hot air balloons.

After getting along for a long time, everyone knows that His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm is actually very good-tempered. He usually doesn't get angry, and he doesn't kill people easily when he gets angry.

Immediately after Liu Che's rant was over, he was going to call for soldiers, and he wanted to send people to support his son.

Five hundred elite regiments can't scare them, is one hundred thousand troops enough?

At the beginning, the officials from the prime minister to the lower officials didn't think it was wrong to send troops there. They already knew what was lost in Liaodong County, and they all knew it very well. They guessed that the emperor dispatched troops to give some confidence to the king of the northern border. On the other hand, it is to let the king of the northern border take Liaodong County back.

It's just that when they heard that the emperor wanted to send [-] troops there, everyone was taken aback—it was just a Wuhuan fight, so why would a [-] troops be needed?

So everyone started arguing about the number of troops to be transferred.

Liu Che let them toss, anyway, he was the one who made the final decision, and he also needed to listen to other people's opinions.

As a result, at this time, Liu Tan's letter arrived.

In the letter, Liu Tan explained everything fairly, then focused on the situation in Jicheng, and made complaints about Liu Dan, the dead ghost.

To be honest, Liu Tan felt that he was already very gentle, but he was just telling the truth. As for the person he killed...in fact, he didn't care about it himself.

This letter is not so much a complaint to Liu Che, as it is to let Liu Che understand the situation of Yan State, and give Liu Che a psychological preparation - if the progress of Yan State is slow, it will not be his fault.

However, Liu Che became even more angry after seeing it, and once again insisted on dispatching [-] troops, not one less!

What kind of waste has made the country of Yan like this?

Liu Che couldn't imagine that a city in Jicheng was split into two worlds.

He didn't go to many vassal states in these years, not to mention Shuofang City. That city is not as big as Chang'an City, and its population is not as large as Chang'an City. In fact, Liu Che's planning is worse than Chang'an City.

It's a pity that as the capital city, Chang'an can't move lightly, and it's not easy to move, so this is the only way to do it.

Not to mention Qi Guoguo, which he often goes to, because Liu Che often goes there, Qi Guoguo is not as good as Chang'an or Shuofang City, but it is not bad, it has local characteristics, but it is also unique.

This has led Liu Che to always think that the capitals of the vassal states in the world should at least be like Qi.

Even if it is bad, it can't be much worse, and judging from the feedback from the embroidered clothes messenger, it is indeed the case.

As a result, I never expected that Yan Guo would make such a fuss without making a sound.

If Liu Dan had not died long ago, it is estimated that Liu Che would have to punish him again.

In this case, it's no wonder he wasn't angry.

Prime Minister Sang Hongyang couldn't help but ran over to Liu Che and said, "Your Majesty, I know that His Majesty loves His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory very much, but the more this is the case, the less we can send so many people to Yan Kingdom."

Liu Che raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What does Ai Qing mean?"

Sang Hongyang said: "Once the [-] army is mobilized, how much food, grass, and supplies will be consumed. Every mouth is for food. The state government of Yan State is already on the verge of collapse, and there is not much money in the treasury. His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory supported it with all his strength, and as far as it is concerned, the treasury of the Northern Territory Kingdom is only slightly in surplus. As far as I know, the Prime Minister Huo Guang seems to be preparing something, and I am afraid that it will not be able to support the consumption of the [-] troops. "

Liu Che squinted his eyes and looked at Sang Hongyang: "You mean to ask Tan'er to pay? Did the princes and kings pay for the fight against the Xiongnu in the past?"

Sang Hongyang choked for a moment, and after thinking about it, the same thing seemed to be the case. For some reason, he subconsciously thought that when the [-] troops arrived in the Kingdom of Yan, it was the King of the North who had paid for it.

However, since the king of the northern realm did not pay for it, there is even more reason.

Sang Hongyang immediately said: "In the past, soldiers were usually sent to eat locally, but now, there may not be so much grain in the country of Yan. If the grain is too much, I am afraid that the people's grain will be squeezed dry. At that time, I'm afraid that those people will be even more sad, if the grain and grass are transferred from other places...the national treasury may not be able to support it."

Liu Che looked at him suspiciously: "Can't the treasury support it? The treasury can't even support the consumption of a hundred thousand troops now?"

Speaking of this, Liu Che's expression is no longer very good-looking. You must know that Liu Tan once gave them advice before leaving, and all of them were bought and sold. Sang Hongyang is also good at this. How could the treasury not support go down?

In short, Liu Che suspected that Sang Hongyang was fooling him.

Sang Hongyang had been under Liu Che's hand for a long time, so he could more or less figure out his thoughts through Liu Che's expression and tone.

He wasn't afraid either, and immediately started arranging data with Liu Che.

He is probably the most pragmatic one among the previous prime ministers, and he has a relatively clear understanding of people's livelihood.

He did a calculation for Liu Che, and then Liu Che found out that the treasury...was indeed not rich enough.

Liu Tan did come up with many ideas, but none of those ideas could make money overnight.

Take the Maritime Silk Road as an analogy. If you want to open up a route, you need ships and sailors.

There are not many experienced captains and sailors, and there is even a shortage of ships. Now a lot of money from the treasury is invested in shipbuilding.

As for the remaining money... it should be kept to deal with the crisis, and the treasury can't keep nothing.

Sang Hongyang said: "If His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory hadn't already researched a sea-going ship capable of sailing for a long time, I'm afraid we still need to spend money to research the ship now, and even the treasury would be stretched."

Liu Che's face was calm: "If there is not enough, I will open a private bank to make up for it."

Sang Hongyang: ...

What does this make him say?He could see that His Majesty the Emperor wasn't angry with Wuhuan, but was angry enough with those idiot county guards of Yan Kingdom.

He couldn't help but secretly scolded those people one by one, and then said helplessly: "In this case, I will go and see where it is appropriate to adjust the grain."

After the news of Liu Che's insistence on dispatching [-] troops spread, everyone originally wanted to use the reason of lack of money to persuade them, but they didn't expect the emperor to open a private treasury to make up for it. Not only that, Prince Liu Ju also stood up and said after learning about it: "There is also Gu. Liaodong County has been my Han territory since ancient times. Wuhuan has deceived people too much, so I will fight."

Well, he didn't say that the main reason was for his younger brother, but that's okay, anyway, these soldiers will be handed over to his younger brother when the time comes.

Not only that, the Queen Chen Ajiao also stood up.

Chen Ajiao's thinking is very simple. Her son has a soldier in his hand and doesn't feel panic. Anyway, the soldier is for her son, and she has also tasted the sweetness.

Although after being reborn, she didn't have too much trouble with Wei Zifu, but because of her childlessness and the failure of her father and brother, her reputation was once very bad, especially when Wei Zifu gave birth to her eldest son. After that, all the pressure was on her side.

At that time, everyone thought that she would be deposed like other childless queens until Liu Tan was born.

But because she was not very polite to Liu Che's concubines at the beginning, and because she killed Mrs. Li too happily, her reputation dropped again.

However, all of this has changed because she used all her money to deploy troops to defend Chang'an. Now who mentions the queen and doesn't praise the queen?

Because of this reputation, there is no good reason for Liu Che to abolish the empress. Even now that the voice of abolishing the empress has become less and less, it seems that even Liu Che has no such idea.

Chen Ajiao felt that she had found a way. Anyway, she could help her son and give herself extra points. Why not do it?

After the queen dispatched, Mrs. Wei also stood up.

Like her younger brother Wei Qing, she is a kind person. The last time Liu Tan helped Liu Ju through the most difficult period, and Liu Ju not only did not shake his position as prince because of this incident, but his status became even stronger because of this incident. stable.

The relationship between Liu Che and Liu Shi has also become closer. No matter how much Liu Che dislikes the eldest son, it is better to say it than not to say it. It means that there is no barrier between father and son.

Therefore, Wei Zifu reciprocated, and he also wanted to help Liu Tan. After all, there are not many places where the king of the northern border needs help.

The concubine moved, and Princess Dangli and Princess Yang Xin also stood up.

It affected many other people in an instant, and the whole Chang'an fell into a frenzied atmosphere of asking for war. Many people even invited themselves to go to the front to attack Wuhuan and take back Liaodong County.

This change caught the former dynasty by surprise, not to mention the courtiers, even Liu Che and Liu Shi did not expect such a big impact.

In the end, before the emperor opened his private treasury, those businessmen who found a way out because the king of the northern border had come up with all kinds of new things, and even received favors from the northern border country on the way to the western regions, stood up and even paid for their military expenses. The food and grass are all done.

Liu Che was a little dazed. After listening, he sat on the throne to stabilize his mood and said calmly: "The people's hearts are like this, so there is no need to discuss it."

What's the point of discussing, if the discussion continues, they will be labeled as secret agents - now there are rumors among the people that the courtiers who prevented the army from marching may not have the right mind.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't laugh or cry. Why didn't they want to fight? It was because they were worried about the treasury and the wallet of the emperor's family, okay?

Alright, now that the money is in place, let's... adjust it.

So Liu Tan received love and support from his whole family and elders before he started any new plans in Yan State—a [-] army.

When Liu Tan learned that Liu Che had sent an army of [-] for him to command, he felt a little silly.

He was really thinking about whether to ask for instructions to send troops over to snatch Liaodong County.

However, he was also a little worried about the treasury of the big man, so he decided to wait and find out about Wuhuan's situation.

Now...is there any need to understand?When an army of [-] came over, it basically crushed Wuhuan.

Wuhuan has a large population, but it also depends on who it is compared with.

Liu Tan and Dou Sibo looked at each other, and the shock on Dou Sibo's face could not be concealed.

After recovering, Liu Tan said, "Get ready to recruit people."

Although the army has its own garrison and its own cooks after it comes over, it still needs ordinary people to surround them and serve them.

Liu Tan really never expected that the first job he found for the people of Yan State was to serve the army.

But it was a good start.

He thought about it for a while, and then bad-heartedly asked people to tell the sheriffs to count all the granaries under their own name to see how many there were.

Chang'an did raise a lot of money, but money is not food, and people have to buy it to turn it into food.

Of course, he mainly wanted to let these people know the news. Now that he has a [-] army in his hands, all these soldiers and horses are under his command, so...you can decide what to do.

All the county guards were shocked when they found out. The first reaction in their minds was: As for it?
