Chapter 2670

This time, the Palace Banquet was held in the Wude hall. When manbao and his family passed slowly, there were palace maids coming in and out with fruit plates and drinks.

At this time, the sun was shining, and the officials were too lazy to kill time in the hall, so they stood on the corridor and talked together.

The officials and their family members went to the garden on the east side of the Wude hall. Those with more dignified status were invited by the queen to enter the harem and were able to meet the queen first.

Man Bao stood in the corridor and thought for a while. He felt that the Mid Autumn Festival was not suitable for talking about state affairs, so he pulled Zhou Liru and went to the east garden to find familiar little ladies to play.

As a result, she turned around. Xiao Yuanzheng stopped her and waved to her.

Man Bao looked at the Minister of war and the Minister of household standing with Xiao Yuan, lowered his voice and asked Liu Huan, "didn't you say you entered the palace ahead of time? Why did your grandfather also enter the palace?"

Liu Huan said, "grandpa has been busy in the imperial city. I slept last night. The light in his study is still on. By the way, I was about to ask you. You want to take Li Ru to the front?"

"Yes, are you going?" When man Bao saw Xiao Yuanzheng coming over again, he sorted out his official robe and whispered, "wait until I come back. Take Li Ru to play first. Don't let her be bullied."

Man Bao raises his smiling face and rushes to Xiaoyuan.

Bai Shan took a look and said to yin or, "it's estimated that they're too busy in the hospital. We can't intervene. Let's find a quiet place to sit down. Bai Er will come later."

Yin or Ying looked left and right, pointed to a direction and said, "go there."

Man Bao stepped forward and looked up at the old ministers after saluting. He couldn't help but "wow", looked back and forth and asked, "what have you done at night?"

It's heavier than the dark circles under her eyes when she stayed up late to deliver a child.

Liu Shangshu said, "not everyone is as lucky as Lord Zhou. Since your majesty made up his mind to enlist in person, we haven't had a safe sleep."

Sounds terrible.

Xiao Yuan said, "Lord Zhou is also very busy."

He argued for Zhou man, and then asked, "have you listed all the lists?"

"Yes," man Bao said, "for the 120000 troops, I used the casualty ratio of the eastern expedition of the late emperor of the former dynasty to make a data. I listed the list according to the main diseases. After a word is written, I can hand it in tomorrow."

Liu Shangshu immediately asked, "can you work out the budget?"

He only cares about how much it costs.

After a pause, man Bao said, "it's just a rough calculation. It's based on the current market price. But I think if you buy too many things, it must be cheap if it's still within the range. If it's not within the range, the price will certainly rise. So I think we'd better take a look at the budget. Money is external. It's useful to save people's lives“

And a minister of household said that money is an external thing?

Liu Shangshu looked at her for a while, then turned around and said to Xiao Yuan, "since you don't want to tell me the budget, I'll tell you the bottom line of the household department. The budget for your imperial medical department must not exceed five million. You can find a way by yourself."

Xiao Yuan was unhappy, and said to Zhao Guo standing aside, "Zhao Shangshu, a medicinal material may be the name of a soldier. If you can save anything else, you can't save it."

Zhao Guogong looked at Liu Shangshu.

Liu Shangshu said angrily, "then tell me what can be saved?"

"Is it the saving of military grain, the saving of military horses, or the saving of military ships?" He asked, "can the armor and robes used by the soldiers be saved, or can the sword and gun be saved?"

He said angrily, "it will be cold soon after the Mid Autumn Festival. Once Koguryo enters the twelfth lunar month, it will be full of snow. Even if your majesty redeploys more Hu people in Eastern Liaoning to fight, it also needs leather and thick clothes, and consumes more food and grass in winter than usual. Are you really an inexhaustible treasury?"

In order to raise military food and armaments, Liu Shangshu slept only two hours a day for three consecutive days. Now he can't help but lose his temper when he sees his old wife, not to mention facing a group of bad old men who always reach out to him for money. It's annoying to see it.

Xiao Yuanzheng and Zhao Guogong didn't speak in silence, and man Bao stood aside with his head shrunk.

Liu Shangshu then pressed his spleen and airway: "this is not only my meaning, but also Lord Wei's meaning. We can't consume the national treasury for a big war. Your majesty agreed."

It's only five million dollars, so it's impossible to run out. However, medicinal materials and medical consumables account for only a small part of armaments. In fact, the main part is food, grass and military and horse weapons. This time, military ships should be added.

Bai Shan said that his Majesty would send all his troops from Dengzhou, cross the sea and enter gongbeisha city. They had a quiet discussion with the map in their memory at night. As long as the army attacking Liaodong city was smooth and attacked on both sides, Koguryo would not last long.

Bai Shan said, "although I don't know much, I also heard that someone from Honglu temple has quietly left Beijing for Xinluo and Baiji, trying to persuade the two vassal states to put aside their prejudices and attack Koguryo together."

Man Bao asked Duke Zhao curiously, "Duke Zhao, do you think Baiji will agree to fight together?"

"Who knows?" Duke Zhao gathered his hands and said, "I've heard that Baiji prefers Koguryo."

Liu Shangshu glanced over Zhou man's face and looked at Xiao Yuan. Seeing that they didn't object, but cooperated to change the topic, he automatically thought that they agreed to the budget, so he put down a worry and followed the gossip: "if I say, the gratitude and resentment of the three countries can't be separated. Boss Hugh wants to say second, Xinluo is also immoral and plays well, It was agreed that whoever occupied the territory would own it. As a result, he took advantage of Baiji's domestic chaos and turned around and robbed Baiji's territory, hum... "

Zhao Justice: "no poison, no husband. You should kill him while he is ill. There's nothing wrong with robbing territory."

"Bah," said Liu Shangshu, "did he hold it? It was a good situation. It was good to make efforts to grab territory from Koguryo together. It was because Xinluo went back on his word and broke his faith that Baiji withdrew to fight him. "

The cause of the war was that Koguryo was strong and ambitious. He wanted to rob Yingzhou, so he began to send troops to harass the Da Jin border.

The assassin in Yingzhou saw this. While organizing the garrison to resist, he quietly bypassed Koguryo and passed Baiji from the sea. He found Baiji and Xinluo to discuss. See, Koguryo has no ambition and wants to hit us, Dajin and you again.

Da Jin is so powerful that he dares to do it, not to mention the two small countries, so how about working together and killing him together?
