When Wang Hua walked out of the door, he suddenly thought about it and said to his subordinates: "Go, shout Zhang Shi and go."

Zhang said that he did not believe in evil now, and this time he asked Zhang to see what the court did.

After turning two turns, not far from Wang Hua's mansion, it was an ordinary house. However, this has now become the center of Yashu's business.

It turned out to be an official, but later after Wang Hua arrived in the Eight Prefectures, the officials remained. But all of them were empty. However, at that time, Wang Hua still took care of the court's face. If there was anything, the officials could only carry out the execution after they had to stamp the official seal. In fact, it was equivalent to a formality.

Later, the imperial court sent troops and even saved the situation.

Not only is the passing away, Wang Hua also bears their official salary, which cannot support people. Not to mention supporting a group of subordinates, it is a problem to support themselves. Everyone understands this principle, as long as they don’t take part in it, it is a good official.

At this point, these officials wanted to leave, but they dared to leave. After all, there was a false position here to keep the court from being ill-fated. After Wang Hua cut off his salary, he also voluntarily expelled many officials, so he ran quickly and all left Bazhou.

But the tradition of the Eight-Saharans has been preserved, and everyone stayed in the original courtyards. Although it was a little simpler, it improved efficiency because it lacked many rules.

Zhu Tong was waiting for Wang Hua, but his face was not washed, so things were probably a bit serious.

Just as he was about to report, Wang Hua waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhu, wait a moment."

Zhu Tong didn't ask, and the two men sat down, and the two militiamen who were temporarily acting as yamen runners made tea.

After a while, Zhang said that, he entered the door and asked, "Mr. Wang, what's wrong with calling me?"

"sit."

Wang Hua asked Zhang Shuo to sit down and said to Zhu Tong: "This time I can say it."

Zhu Tong took out a few reports on the table and said, "The Governor, this is the case. We have raised eight million stones of grain in Jiangnan."

Zhang Shuo was startled and interrupted from the side: "Why do you want so much food?"

The eight states were more than 600,000 soldiers. In addition, the south of Jishi Mountain, Linzhou, Taozhou and Diezhou, the entire 300,000 people were more than 300,000. If the four northern states were included, Fengzhou and Shengzhou were the most damaged, followed by Liuhu Prefecture, and Linzhou. In addition, more than 50,000 people in Xiazhou were the light-hit areas, there were only about 300,000 people. Of course, it may be more than 300,000 people. The court is not very clear about how many states there are, but the floating will not exceed 100,000 people. That is, Wang Hua will not have more than 1.3 million people at most.

Among them are three major arable lands, Hequ, Hetao and Yinchuan.

With Wang Hua's wisdom, it is impossible for him to not pay attention to agricultural production. Otherwise, he would not have started farming in Shengzhou and Fengzhou. He planned to have no harvest in a year, and five million stones of grain was enough for the people in Wang Hua's country to survive for a year.

What does Wang Hua need so much food for?

"Does Mr. Zhang, are there many? I don't know how many now. Anyway, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the country. Don't count on food for the winter this year. There are more than 200,000 prisoners, each of them, all of them are big-bellied men. If I really want to drink two bowls of porridge for them a day?"

This is true, but most of them are thorns, or the lives of the blood camp soldiers in their hands. But that is a minority after all.

"There are also some of the Turkish prisoners and a large number of Tubo prisoners in my hands. But there are many Han people in their territory. I want to redeem them in batches through these prisoners. This cannot be exchanged one-on-one, one-on-two, one-on-three-on-four, and nearly 90,000 prisoners may become 300,000 people again. What should these people do? Besides, the terrain from Jishishan to Songzhou is bad, but in order to avoid the harsh taxes of Tubo, there are a few party members living in that area, and I want to absorb them. In addition, so many miscellaneous grains eaten by war horses and livestock, how much food does this get? Also, if Fengzhou is used well, can it attract more aliens and oppressed tribes living in the Turks come to join? If Jishishan is used, can it attract the Tubo tribes between Jishishan and Zishan? Is it enough to have eight million stones of food?"

Zhang said that he was really ambitious.

In fact, this is also because Wang Hua is prepared for any trouble. He can't get so much grain. He can still harvest a batch of grain in the autumn harvest, and then harvest more in the spring next year. And he will continue to blackmail a batch of grain from Li Xian. However, he would rather put out grain and suppress new grain than Wang Hua would not have any grain last year.

Zhang said he would not question it anymore, Wang Hua looked at Zhu Tong and said, "Continue to talk."

"The amount of grain in eight million stones is quite large, so Elva Hsiao was divided into two batches and transported to the eight states. It was fine when the first batch was transported, but after passing Bianzhou, it was detained by the court."

Originally, there were not two batches, but they were divided into four batches. However, after discussing it, they changed their minds again.

The most threatening time to the court was to defeat Tubo and the Turks. If an agreement was made with the court, it would be better if it could not be reached. The court would inevitably divide its troops to station in the neighboring states and counties, and it would be impossible for Wang Hua to be large at that time. Therefore, the food must be blocked.

Therefore, after discussion, I decided to calculate the date and after defeating the Tubo people, I sent a quick letter to Elva Hsiao, asking them to divide them into two batches and transport the food immediately.

This was not said to Zhang.

But Zhang said that he knew that eight million stones of grain must have been reserved by Wang Hua as backup grain. Although the area covers a large area, it is only about one million people, not much more than the population in Luoyang.

But food is definitely short of food.

When the imperial court did this, it was clear that some space for good thoughts had not been preserved.

In this case, why ask me to mediate?

Thinking of this, he was very discouraged.

"Not only that, the dozen brothers we escorted were also detained by the government and tortured all day long. We are no longer expected to have food."

Zhang Shuo's mind was even more buzzing. Not only did he deduct food, but he also deducted people. Wang Hua's famous protection of his shortcomings is impossible.

"Do you know why the court did this?"

"The people below have already inquired about it, and it mainly comes from the court. The governor of the camp, do you still remember Ji Chune, Zong Jinqing and the others?"

"Can't they also make an offer?"

"That is, not only are they recently promoted, but they are also stepping up recruiting troops from all over the country to prepare to siege us again. At the same time, news came out that when Mochu retreated from Hedong Road, General Xue Na's army was just here. If he took action, it might have severely damaged Mochu and could also intercept tens of thousands of people who had captured the past. However, General Xue received strict orders from the court, forbidding him and Mochu to continue to fight against him."

"Continue to get into evil?" Zhang Shuo was also stunned. What's going on?

But he remembered what Wang Hua said in Fengzhou, not what I want, but what the court wants?

Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Hua.

Wang Hua was not angry after hearing this, and looked at Zhang Shuo and said, "Shilarious Secretary Zhang, it is very reasonable for the imperial court to do this."

"Reasonable?" Zhang Shuo said in a low voice. But now Wang Hua's expression is very plain, and his tone is even more ancient and Wubo, but he can't tell what Wang Hua thinks.

"Yes, it's very reasonable. Although it's a temporary peace and stability for me, I can give me a short time of peace. But I promised my conditions and then let me get a lot of food and the newly acquired people. I will be more wings like a tiger. In this way, it's better to take advantage of our new battles and fight against Tubo and Turks. When the troops are greatly damaged, we will be wiped out once and for all. Mr. Zhang, are you right?" Wang Hua sneered. However, he secretly called luck in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't fight with Mochu in this battle and preserved his strength.

But now he has a headache. Until now, the soldiers need to rest, and Wang Hua still doesn't want to fight hard against the court.

Although the court is now bleak and there are not many famous generals, Old Tang is the one who stepped into the coffin. Zhang Guo dragged him into the water and only asked for help, and would never stab him again. Zhang Renyuan and Xue Ne were suspected. However, the Tang Dynasty was still the Tang Dynasty. Just as Zhang Shuo thought in his heart, the population of Luoyang was much larger than that of Wang Hua's current people.

Even if you have the upper hand in the face of such a huge country, you will be dragged to death sooner or later. When the wings of Western Xia were not hard, the same was true, which made a weak Song drag several times and had to surrender to the surrender before you could get a breather.

Especially now I need to breathe more. If I want to breathe, I have to eat. With food, people of all ethnic groups can be at peace and will also recruit more soldiers. Of course, soldiers also need time to train. That's it. Now the military service in the Eight Prefectures is far more than that in any region or country.

After these consecutive shocks, if there is another serious injury, it will sooner or later that all the people in the territory will begin to get tired of war, and that will be the time for themselves to be destroyed.

Therefore, the court's arrangement this time is really reasonable.

However, outsiders didn't know much about the truth, even Zhang Shuo did not observe it. He only saw the blood camp winning Mochuo, but did not pay much. He only saw the blood camp moving towards a myth step by step.

Therefore, he had to mediate more than make the conflict between Wang Hua and the court grow stronger.

But just as he was about to speak, Zhu Tong said again: "Not only that, his subordinates also heard that the imperial court had sent an imperial envoy to Dafeichuan to issue an order to General Manager Guo, asking them to stop recovering Dafeichuan immediately."

"National humiliation" Zhang Shuo said viciously.

This is simply a great humiliation of the country. The Tubo people and the Turks were so versus the Tang Dynasty. In order to pacify Wang Hua, they wanted to continue to be in harmony. No wonder Wang Hua said that someone loved her small family, not this country, no wonder that they betrayed the news of the blood camp for a goal that might not be able to be implemented.

However, Wang Hua's face turned dark.

This move is even more vicious. If Guo Yuanzhen obeyed the court's arrangements and withdrew his army from Dafeichuan. Tubo is not without wise men. They also know the political, economic and military value of Dafeichuan. Then they will immediately pour the country's army north to defend Dafeichuan, and even seize Jishishan.

Could it be that Wei Shi made some treason deals with Tubo?

But his expression was still Gujing Wubo on his face. He looked at Zhang and continued, "Shilarious Minister Zhang, you repeatedly advised me to declare Zhang's righteousness and revitalize the court. I did not agree, which disappointed you. He also thought that in order to marry the princess, I had to be with the queen and the treacherous minister. Is this true? You want to deal with the treacherous minister, Wu Sansi almost let me die, and Zhou Yi asked me to take the opportunity to threaten the court with the deputy killer. Ji Chune and Zong Jinqing also let me defeat me one after another. Have you done enough? But is there any solution to the root cause of the problem? Shilarious Minister Zhang, unless you have the ability to depose the queen or learn from Yi Yin and Huo Guang, you should retire after you go back."

Retired? Zhang Shu smiled bitterly and thought to himself that I was only forty-three years old. Even if I retired, the court would not allow it. It was like entering the world and trying to wash my hands, but I was not as old as I could, and I was not qualified.

But Wang Hua's arrangements made him frightened.

Wang Hua shouted to the guards outside, asking them to call the generals, and even Li Hong and Mu Zi and Li were shouting.

Everyone will arrive later.

When Wang Hua told the story, the crowd was angry and quarreled.

Wang Hua waved his hand and asked them to stop. Then he said, "Don't be angry. Since the court is still pushing us to death, there is no need for us to care about the life and death of the court. I plan to launch two troops, from Qinzhou to Chang'an, and from Yanzhou to Chang'an. First, take Chang'an down. Then the focus is on the two places in Longyou Guanzhong. Especially Guanzhong, if you get Guanzhong, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is still a granary. If you enter Hanzhong, you can watch dozens of prefectures in Shu. This is another big granary. With these two places, we will not worry about food. But think about it carefully and come up with a charter."

Of course, even if you think about it now, you won’t tell it all. There is an outsider here.

Then he turned his head to look at Mu Zili and said, "I will also give you a task and give you some manpower. You can immediately arrange for Elva Hsiao to concentrate all the grains of all states in the south of the Yangtze River, and then transport them to the Yangtze River, and sink them into the river together. This matter must be done immediately. Then arrange manpower and spread rumors all over the country to raise the price of grain. The higher the better."

Zhang said that there was a cold war. Don’t think that the food problem is solved now. Last year, because Wang Hua took away grain from the three states and the lack of income in Guanzhong, the grain price was once raised to 100 cents per bucket of rice. It was higher than the grain price Wang Hua received after the autumn. Fortunately, the ship technology has promoted the development of Wang Hua and facilitated transportation, so it quickly suppressed the price.

If Wang Hua sent troops and sank a lot of grain into the river, the cult in his hand spread rumors, if some big families and Wang Huamei had to cooperate secretly, there would be no second Wang Hua to deal with them this time, and they would be happy to raise the price of grain and make money from the national crisis.

Then the country will face a serious disaster.

However, it was not over yet, Wang Hua asked Li Hong again: "If we can recruit all our strength, how many soldiers can we recruit from Oceania?"

Li Hong thought for a while and said, "About 200,000 soldiers."

"That's good. Let Elva Hsiao finish the food matter and immediately bring all the troops to Lingnan. Finally, in the spring of next year, take down Lingnan. I think if I can seize Guanshu and open up all this line. That's it. Let's disperse. Let's discuss it tomorrow."

Had to do this.

Although we know that prosperity is the suffering of the people, the people suffer, and the people suffer. However, we know that the suffering of the people, we cannot sit and watch the blood camp perish. Therefore, only a few parties can cooperate to relieve the crisis.

At the same time, he had another move in his mind. In front of Zhang Shuo, Wang Hua did not say it, that was Li Chongjun. Even if he sent troops, he also took back the righteousness under the banner of Li Chongjun.

As soon as he stood up, Zhang said, holding him in a hurry, saying, "You can't leave."

As soon as everyone walked out of the door, they saw this situation and stopped one by one.

"Mr. Zhang, do you know why I called you?"

"I don't know, I just know that you do this, and it's no longer the king painting before. I just know that if you do this, the people of the world will soon be devastated. Why? If you don't go to Oceania to be your overseas king."

"Become an overseas king, okay, the court will welcome Princess Jincheng back with the ability, and I will go overseas immediately."

"What a bullshit reason? Who are you from Princess Jincheng? When will it be your turn to take care of her affairs?"

"This is a promise, and it is the dignity of the entire tens of millions of nations. I still say the same thing, it doesn't matter if you close the door and coax it, don't kneel down to the foreign countries with humiliation, the proud head of the whole of China for thousands of years."

"You..., you are making excuses for your ambition."
