At the end of June, summer is like fire.

Now, unlike in the past, the emperor did not go to Laojun Mountain to escape the summer heat as in previous years, but stayed in Luoyang to handle government affairs.

At this time, the summer grain from the Central Plains prefectures had been collected and transported to Luoyang through the Yellow River or by people.

Only the grain from Hebei Prefecture and Youzhou Prefecture should be supplied to more than 100,000 troops from western Liaoning, so that there is no shortage of food and grass.

Only more than ten years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, tax collection was extremely fast and there was no place to dare to default on it.

Moreover, since the war is not in our own territory and has a small impact, it will not delay the summer harvest at all.

Therefore, as time goes by, plus Shanghai Transportation, the logistics pressure is not great. If it is exhausted, the only one who can't stand it is the Khitans.

In the scorching sun, I saw a brush constantly reviewing and writing on the imperial desk, without seeing any other sounds.

A eunuch gently held a basin of ice, placed it next to the imperial desk, and took away a basin of melted ice water.

The furry raccoon cat stretched out its claws and opened the empty window, walked in with small steps, then jumped to the desk, crawled directly on the memoir, and fell asleep.

The eunuch beside him was frightened when he saw it and wanted to take it away several times, but he was afraid that he would disturb the emperor and looked hesitant.

After a while, the emperor who had been reviewing the memorials woke up, stretched his waist, looked at the fat and fluffy cat, and couldn't help but pick it up: "You raccoon slave, you are so rude, you came uninvited!"

Hearing the emperor's tone, the raccoon cat "meowed" and allowed the emperor to mercy.

"Is this the Queen's gray cloud?"

The emperor did not blame him and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, I don't notice it for a while and let him escape. I hope your Majesty will atone for his sins!"

The eunuch kowtowed.

"fine!"

Li Jia shook her head, teased the cat for a while, and then said, "This raccoon slave is so smart. I know I have ice here, so I'm here to enjoy the cool!"

For a moment, the eunuchs and palace maids couldn't help but laugh together.

And soon, eunuchs came to report and sent letters to 600 letters.

Li Jia was shocked and put down the raccoon cat. When she opened it, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and a little melancholy.

I saw that the words in the letters, Tao Gu, the prefect of Hebei, died of his sleep.

A high probability is that you will be exhausted to death.

In his seventies, this guy is no longer young.

When Li Jia thought that what Tao Gu was seeking was nothing but the position of prime minister, he couldn't help but say:

"He was posthumously appointed as the Minister of State, and was given a blessing and longevity man, and was given another 2,000 guan of funeral money to prepare for the funeral."

"promise!"

Since you can't be the prime minister during your lifetime, you can only posthumously seal it after your death, which can be considered as a matter of silence!

Li Jia sighed and left the study.

Then, he came to the Ganlu Temple.

Since the war began, the Ganlu Palace has become a coordinated territory.

Li Huai was here, and he understood the front line, organized logistics, and all corvee labor, money, etc. were supervised in Ganlu Hall.

The emperor's arrival surprised everyone.

"Let the prime ministers come!"

The emperor sat down and ordered casually.

Soon, several busy prime ministers came in a hurry and were a little confused about the emperor's summons.

Li Jia glanced at everyone and briefly said about Tao Gu, then said: "I took a look at the summer grain situation in Luoyang Prefecture, Henan Prefecture, and Hebei Prefecture, which has been reduced by about 10% compared to last year. Is the corvee service too much?"

After looking at each other, Hu Binwang couldn't help but leave and said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Camp are almost Luoyang and Henan. If more than half of them are dispatched, they will inevitably have some impact."

"As for corvee labor, although forty or five hundred thousand people in the past few months, they are given thirty dollars a day. Although the land is not enough to take care of, the money and food are enough to fill their stomachs and take care of their family."

"Um!"

Li Jia understood this quite well, but Emperor Yang of Sui was still too bad. He once again used a lot of corvee labor, plus reduced grain production, so how could it not be scary?

"You still have to pay attention!"

The emperor sighed and said, "In the past two months, it has been delayed again. It is natural for the court to have the court, but I am afraid that the people will not be able to bear it."

"I should take care of myself!"

Hu Binwang answered.

"Summer grain is put into warehouses, and the imperial court's regular warehouses must be taken care of, so don't hurt the price of grain!"

"yes!"

The prime ministers responded helplessly.

Zhao Pu looked at the emperor with absent-minded look and knew that he was worried about the war ahead. He couldn't help but feel it in his heart, and then said:

"Is Your Majesty concerned about Liaodong?"

"That's right!" the emperor then agreed: "There are no more time to come, are there any war reports? I'm really uneasy to stay in Luoyang!"

As he said that, the emperor jumped away and said, "Or, our center will move north to Jizhou, which is close to western Liaoning, so it is more convenient to receive the war report."

Everyone also understands the emperor's character, which means doing what he says. Sun Zhao panicked and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is the best help for the war."

"The court cannot live without His Majesty for a day, and Luoyang cannot live without His Majesty for a day."

"Forget it!"

The emperor waved his hand and chuckled, "Look, I'm just joking."

As he said that, the monarch and ministers chatted for a few more words. The floods in the south and droughts in the north are almost every year, and the monarch and ministers are already used to it.

Even if it is a huge event, it cannot keep up with the current war between the two countries.

"Report, Youzhou is 600 miles in a hurry-"

At this time, a messenger suddenly came outside the hall and hurried over, his face turning red.

When he heard this news in the Ganlu Hall, the king and his subjects were shocked.

"What day is June today?"

The emperor asked someone to bring it to the military newspaper and asked.

"Report to your Majesty, June 27!"

“Twenty-seven!”

Li Jia trembled and quickly browsed the military letter up and down, but he didn't believe it. Then he read it again, and then he handed it over to the prime ministers for browsing.

He sat slumped, his eyes were dull and his thoughts were full of thoughts.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty—"

The prime ministers hurriedly knelt down, saluted, and kept shouting.

"Get up, get up!"

The shouts woke the emperor up, and then he raised his hand and smiled: "This is a day for the whole country to celebrate together, and the Tang Dynasty is very prosperous-"

The military newspaper said that our army defeated the Khitan soldiers outside Jinzhou City, killed 30,000, captured 40,000 cavalry, and fled to enemy general Yelu Xiuge...

Immediately, on the attachment, another word was said that our army was in Kaizhou and wiped out more than 50,000 Khitan soldiers and horses, and the enemy general Yelu Xidi was killed.

There were hundreds of thousands of people in Liaodong, and summer grain was destroyed...

It can be understood in this way that Liaodong is in chaos and the supply of food and grass is insufficient. Yelu Xiuge was forced to dispatch troops to fight, but he was defeated.

However, the Liaodong region can no longer provide Khitan food, at least for these few months.

The Khitans without military rations cannot fight for a long time, nor can they be able to appease Liaodong.
