Chapter 680: Why Are We so Anxious to Fight Each Other? (2)

The great victory at Hetao, annihilating tens of thousands of the Donghu army headed by Yan Qi in one fell swoop, what this means, no one knows better than the people in this room. Everyone, even Jiang Jiaquan, who has always been indifferent to joy and anger, at this moment, He was also overjoyed. The Hetao was certain, which meant that Zhengdong Mansion not only completely controlled the plump Hetao area, but also had an absolute upper hand in the battle with Donghu, wiping out tens of thousands of enemies, which directly interrupted the Donghu people. An arm. <>This is only a military victory. If we also include the political shock that will be brought to Donghu due to the military defeat, Jiang Jiaquan just wants to look up to the sky and smile.

Several important ministers strode out of the house and walked to Ye Jing'er's delivery room. Amidst Ye Jing'er's screams, Jiang Jiaquan said loudly: "Congratulations, madam, the governor has won a great victory in the Hetao. Tens of thousands of enemies have been wiped out. The Hetao is all ours." All owned by the Zhengdong Army.”

As Jiang Jiaquan's voice fell to the ground, the shouting in the room suddenly stopped, and then there was an extremely high-pitched cry. With this cry, the cry of a baby could also be heard clearly.

"It's happening, it's happening!" Everyone outside couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In the delivery room, Cao Lian'er hurriedly ran out and bowed to everyone: "My lords, my wife has given birth to a big fat boy. Mother and child are safe."

When they heard that it was a big fat boy, everyone was even more happy. Jiang Jiaquan laughed loudly, "We have wiped out all the enemies in the Hetao, and there is a successor for the governor. This is a double happiness. If someone comes, he will immediately announce the two great news to the whole city." I spread the news throughout the area under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion as quickly as possible, and we want everyone to celebrate."

The two government agencies of Zhengdong Mansion and Jishi County Mansion immediately began to get busy. The entire army and civilians in Jishi City also had sleepless nights. Every household was busy. When the sky became brighter, everyone discovered it. Jishi City has completely changed its appearance. On top of a vast expanse of snow, festive red silks are hanging everywhere. The laughter and laughter in every lane are mixed with the sound of gongs and drums. The entire Jishi City is filled with a sea of ​​joy.

The joy of the people of Jishi City is destined to last for a long time, but for the people living in the area in the center of Jishi City, after the initial joy, more complicated and endless affairs will be waiting for them. While the carnival was still going on outside, the Jiang Family Quan who was discussing the government had summoned all the remaining ministers of the Zhengdong Mansion to discuss the next step.

"The first thing that is before us is the pension." Looking around at the people in the hall, Jiang Jiaquan's face no longer showed joy, but was replaced by solemnity. "This time, although we have achieved an unprecedented victory, we still have to pay for it." The cost is also extremely staggering. Of course, this information will not be announced to the public, but we here must know it. This time, we have more than 30,000 troops in Hetao, but now only a few are left. Fifteen thousand casualties."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall took a breath of cold air, "So, although we won, it was still a miserable victory. We have been operating in the Hetao for nearly two years.

Dong Hu came in a hurry. Even with such a result, don't think that Dong Hu has it at his fingertips. "

"Pension requires money." Jiang Jiaquan's eyes turned to Wang Wudi of the Ministry of Household Affairs. "How much money can the Ministry of Finance spend?"

Wang Wudi had a wry smile on his face, "Our Eastern Expeditionary Army has a relatively large amount of pensions for those killed and injured in battle. So many people were injured or killed at once this time. Even if I scrape the warehouse to the ground, I still can't come up with so much money." , Yi Zheng also knows that in order to support this battle, a large amount of money is needed for food, weapons, and civilian labor. I am already stretched. Master Cao, can you come out to save me this time? "

When Cao Tiancheng heard that Wang Wudi kicked the ball into his own ball, he shook his head repeatedly, "Wang Shangshu, you are making things difficult for me. The Sihai Trading stall is big, but the stall is big, and the expenses are high, and the money is too much." They are all scattered in the hands of various merchants and caravans. I can still scrape together hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but no matter how much it is, there is nothing I can do. But this time, the number of injured people reached more than 15,000, and hundreds of thousands of taels. The money is far from enough.”

"No need to push back and forth!" Jiang Jiaquan's face darkened, "The Ministry of Household Affairs has to dig out three feet of the ground and still have to collect one million taels for me. Sihai Shangliu will come up with another five hundred thousand taels. Don't think this is a lot. , only a hundred or so taels were allocated to each casualty, but we should all know that behind every soldier, there is a family. The governor of Zhengdong Mansion can get the support of the army and the people, and every time he recruits troops, They are all overcrowded, because they know that even if they die on the battlefield, the governor will not let their families have no place to live, no food, no clothes. We are doing it, and the people are watching. In addition, all the families of those who died in the war will be allocated a share of permanent land that is free of grain and tax. In strict discussions on government affairs, this permanent land is designated as one hundred acres, of which 20 acres are mature land and 80 acres are raw land. I’ll leave it to you to take care of it.”

Yan Shenghao nodded: "Don't worry, Jiang Yizheng, I will take charge of this matter. Our Zhengdong Mansion has nothing but a lot of land and a large territory. Although twenty acres of mature land is a bit difficult, it can be squeezed out if it is assigned to counties and villages." "For those who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, it doesn't matter if others sacrifice some."

"Okay, during this process, we must be careful to prevent subordinates from getting involved. If anyone dares to take advantage of this money and land, Zhengdong Mansion's knife can kill him. God has sent you, the Supervisory Council, to keep a close eye on him. "

Cao Tianci stood up and said, "Don't worry when discussing politics. Yi Bin is in charge of internal affairs. I will let him personally take charge of this matter. If anyone dares to take a step beyond the boundaries, I will take their heads to commemorate the spirits of the heroes in heaven."

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Jiang Jiaquan showed a slight smile on his face, "I will write these contents into the report today and report it to the Governor immediately. I think the Governor will not deny it, so although there is no endorsement from the Governor yet, everyone Let's get these things done first, and the Hetao should have a few years of peace. When the Hetao is on the right track, our finances will be greatly relieved. I have written about Zheng Jun in Liaoxi and Wu Cian in Hejian, and the immigration work will be necessary. Hurry up, Tianci, you must also hurry up and mobilize people from other areas of Yan State to come to our Zhengdong Prefecture area. At the same time, we must do a good job in identifying the Hetao. Next, we will need to fill the Hetao with a large number of Dingkou. A region has wealth only if it has people.”

"Everyone!" Jiang Jiaquan stood up, "After laying the Loop, we finally have a place to settle down. Jishi City has truly become as stable as Mount Tai, but we have only taken the first step in the long journey. Let's work hard together. , let’s all go and do our best.”

The officials in the hall stood up and left one after another. These tasks were just an issue for the Jiang family, but for them, it was a huge article. You have to work hard to do it. Although it is difficult, everyone can't hold back their excitement. This battle will not only defeat the Loop, but also the majesty of Zhengdong Mansion. , I believe that from now on, no force will dare to underestimate Zhengdong Mansion.

Only Jiang Jiaquan and Yan Shenghao were left in the hall. Wu Kai and Cao Tiancheng.

"Although this battle was won, in terms of financial resources, it was indeed a loss-making business in a short period of time!" Jiang Jiaquan grabbed his long beard, "It almost wiped out all our family assets. Donghu people We’re so poor that we can’t get any valuable trophies except horses, but we don’t lack horses.”

"Horses can be sold!" Cao Tiancheng suddenly said.

"How can a war horse be sold to others casually? This is a strategic material." Wang Wudi immediately objected, "Even if you are so poor that you sell iron, you cannot sell the horse."

"Sell to Wei! Sell to Zilan!" Cao Tiancheng said: "Wei can ask for a high price. Now Lu Chao is aggressive in Korea, and the King of Wei is in trouble. If we are willing to sell the war horse to them, they will definitely be overjoyed. Zilan, we are allies now. I’m sorry to ask for a high price, but I always have to pay a little. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat. Anyway, now, I don’t want too little. I can make every profit. "

"What Tiancheng said is also a way to sell the war horses to the Wei State so that they can better resist the Qin State's invasion and buy us more time. The Commander-in-Chief has always regarded the Qin State as the biggest enemy. We can do things that make the enemy sad. As for Zilan, forget it, no money is needed, he is very poor, we give him horses, we can do it for the long term. For investment, we must let the people of Daijun know that we, Zhengdong Mansion, are their good friends. This matter should be done by Zhengdong Mansion, and we must do it in a big way and make it known to the whole world. "

Everyone laughed when they heard Jiang Jiaquan's words.

"In discussing politics, can't we issue another batch of national bonds to alleviate the current fiscal crisis?" Wang Wudi asked.

"No!" Jiang Jiaquan categorically rejected, "The previous batch has not expired and has not been paid back yet. Wu Di, the governor once said that people cannot stand without trust. The national debt is based on trust, even if it is required. Before issuing new ones, we must repay the old ones with interest. We must not add new debts without paying off the old ones. We cannot make money but lose credit.”

"It's me, Meng Lang!" Wang Wu's face was bright.

Jiang Jiaquan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the national debt thing is a new thing, and I don't understand it very well. Let's wait until the governor comes back. The Loop is established, the governor should be back, not to mention that the governor is happy, I'm afraid now the governor My heart has flown back."

Talking about Gao Yuan's new son, everyone's mood became high again. The fat boy weighed a full eight pounds. No wonder Ye Jing'er looked so pregnant when she was pregnant with the child.

In the backyard, Ye Jing'er held her son in her arms with a satisfied look on her face. Although the little guy was only a day or two old, his eyes were very lively.

"Look at those facial features, they look very much like a governor!" Cao Lian'er sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the little guy, and said with a bright smile. "Miss, didn't the governor give the young master a name when he left?"

"Get up!" Ye Jing'er said with a smile: "If I give birth to a daughter, I will call her Gao Jingjing, and her nickname will be Ling'er. If I give birth to a son, I will call her Gao Zhiyuan, and my nickname will be Xing'er. Fortunately, I will give birth to a son. Otherwise, I will call him Gao Zhiyuan. Tranquility, I feel uncomfortable."

Listening to Ye Jing'er's words, Cao Lian'er chuckled, "Miss, you are too worried. It's just that our young master will be happy in the future. This is really a bit happy."

"It's better than peace!" Ye Jing'er rolled her eyes.

Cao Lian'er covered her mouth and snickered, "Ning Jing, Ning Xin, it seems that Madam is really wary of this Vice President of the Supervisory Yuan named Ning Xin, but that Ning Xin is really beautiful." (To be continued,!u
