"Master Taifu is here so late, but what's the matter?"
After hurriedly arriving at the study, Liu Deng motioned to Du Ziteng to guard the door and not allow anyone to approach.
"Your Majesty, we have just received news that Yizhixie, King of Zuoguli of the Xiongnu, has now led his troops and is heading towards Yuyang and Yanmen in our country"
Zhang Tu lowered his voice and whispered in Liu Deng's ear.
"How many people did they come?"
Liu Deng also suddenly became nervous. He was a social beast from a later generation. Was he about to face his first war?
"It's claimed to be one hundred thousand, but according to the spies' report, it's only around fifty thousand at most. But they're very aggressive. I'm afraid there's going to be a fierce battle this time"
Zhang Tu was still a little worried. Although the ferocious slaves had been making frequent inroads over the years, almost every three or two years, and if he was diligent, he would come once a year, which was not a strange thing.
However, almost every time it will bring a disaster to the country.
"Where are the imperial troops? How is the military preparations going?"
Liu Deng¡¯s palms began to sweat. He came from a peaceful age and now faced a war. Of course, he felt a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything has been prepared. The imperial army has been in place three days ago, and the army from the Liang Kingdom has also been in place. This time, the imperial court specially sent General Cheng Bushi. It should be no problem to help us guard Yanmen. of!"
Seeing Liu Deng¡¯s nervous look, Zhang Tu tried his best to slow down his tone.
"Since General Cheng helps us guard Yanmen, who will guard Yuyang?"
Liu Deng asked worriedly.
"This is exactly the purpose of my visit today. I'm afraid Yu Yang, the prefect, is no longer able to take on such a big responsibility. We still have to select another candidate"
Zhang Tu was also a little worried. It's easy to get a thousand troops, but it's hard to find a general.
"That's good. Let Li Guang put aside the training mission of the new army for the time being, and order Li Guang to rush to Yuyang immediately to take over the post of governor!"
Liu Deng thought for a while and then said.
"But can he do it?"
After all, Li Guang is too young now, and Zhang Tu is really a little uneasy.
"Just let him go. I believe he has this ability. Since we don't have a suitable candidate, it doesn't hurt to leave it to him!"
Liu Deng took a deep breath. The reputation of Flying General Li Guang was widely praised even by later generations. He hoped that those rumors and the laudatory words in history books would not deceive him
"No! It's just the training of the new army after he leaves. I'm afraid there will be slack"
"Don't worry, Taifu. I will personally take care of the training of the new army!"
Liu Deng thought for a while and said seriously.
For a moment, Zhang Tu really didn¡¯t know how to proceed. He had heard that his king could also train troops
"Master Taifu, is there any problem with our food, grass and armaments now?"
Before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. Of course, this kind of thing must be considered in advance.
"The stocks we have in hand can still be used to supply the front line, but the food and grass supplies are a little tight. I'm afraid this winter will be difficult again"
Zhang Tu also had a headache as he spoke, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"If you don't have enough food and grass, just buy it. Has Master Taifu forgotten that we have money now?"
Liu Deng laughed instead.
"The king is right, it is the old minister who is confused, it is the old minister who is confused"
By the end of this busy schedule, Zhang Tu himself had forgotten that Dai Guo was not what it used to be. They were now so poor that they only had money left.
"Don't be too nervous, Taifu. By the way, I have some good things for you here. You should take the time to find someone to bring this thing back to our hospital!"
Liu Deng then remembered that he still had the letter given to him by the eldest princess in his arms.
This is five hundred thousand shi of food!
With these things, it is enough for this country to support two wars.
"This is?"
Looking at the documents and seals of Liu Deng¡¯s empire, Zhang Tu rubbed his old eyes and looked at them carefully.
"Half a million stones!"
Zhang Tu¡¯s voice suddenly rose 8 degrees. This is too exaggerated
??The king of his family returned to Chang'an City. In addition to giving the prince's palaceApart from bringing back some dividends, I didn¡¯t see how much money he spent. Why did he suddenly get half a million dan!
"Your Majesty, I wonder how much money the eldest princess needs to pay for these grains?"
Zhang Tu asked tentatively.
"This is what my aunt used to invest in shares. From now on, part of the grain produced in my aunt's farm will be reserved for us every year. Are you satisfied, Master Taifu?"
Seeing the shocked look on Tu¡¯s face, Liu Deng was extremely satisfied. This was the effect he wanted!
¡°Will there be a share given to us every year?¡±
Zhang Tu¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. No matter how much food you have, you can never have too much food, especially in this day and age.
"There is no telling when a war will come. If there is no food in hand, I will always be worried."
"But there is one more thing that needs to be prepared by the Grand Tutor. The granary of this generation is really too small. When everything is fine this winter, I think it is better to renovate it!"
Thinking about the things planted in his garden, Liu Deng said thoughtfully.
"What the king is saying is that if an additional 500,000 dan can be produced every year, the granary will indeed be a bit too small!"
Zhang Tu had a smile on his face. As long as he had food, he would feel much more at ease.
¡°Then let¡¯s renovate it at 20 times its current value!¡±
Liu Deng summed it up and then said.
"Pfft¡ª¡ª"
As soon as Zhang Tu took a sip of tea into his mouth, he spat it out.
"What the hell is 20 times that? Are you building a granary?" Or dig a tunnel?
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Taifu, you will only think this granary is too small when the time comes!¡±
Liu Deng said with a faint smile.
"But 20 times is too much, Your Majesty. I think it is doubled. Three times should be enough. Even if the eldest princess supplies all the supplies, we don't need such a large granary"
Although Daiguo is said to be poor, this granary is indeed not small. If it were expanded 20 times, wouldn't it be enough to feed most of the people of the Han Dynasty?
"Master Taifu, just do as I ask, and you will see results in three years!"
Liu Deng¡¯s bad taste suddenly came over and he said mysteriously.
Seeing Liu Dongjuan showing this expression again, Zhang Tu began to think thoughtfully, thinking that this was how he looked when the king tricked Liu Xian!
"No!"
Since Liu Deng really refused to say anything, Zhang Tu also knew that his king had a very good idea now, and he would definitely not be able to ask anything, so he simply stopped asking. But the more Liu Deng behaved like this, the more he felt like there were eighteen kittens scratching his heart. The itching feeling in his heart was really uncomfortable.
After such a fuss, the tension in Liu Deng's heart suddenly eased a lot, but he really wanted to go to the front line in person and take a good look at what war in this cold weapon era was like (Remember this Website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
