In fact, since the war started, he has been staying near the military aircraft office for these days. He has completely handed over ordinary government affairs to the political hall, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this war to destroy the country.

The emperor was very anxious, a little complacent, and a little worried.

The anxiety lies in whether this war of annihilation can achieve the set goal and proceed step by step; the satisfaction lies in the fact that this time, the five states in southern Fujian (Jianzhou was separated from Jianzhou) were successfully captured, except for one in Fuzhou.

In addition, almost the whole of Fujian has been included in his pocket.

Worry is that the random interference in the Central Plains and the Northern Song Dynasty disturbed his plan.

Moreover, using Bashu to hold back the pace of the Northern Song Dynasty and turning it into a veritable powder keg, and then the Tang army moved into the land of Bashu as a savior, from this point on, Sichuan could be taken over without any effort. It was a great deal.

The Imperial Army in Tokyo has been deploying in an orderly manner, and grain and grass from all over the country are constantly being imported into Luoyang, and then into Guanzhong.

Obviously, after the summer harvest, it was the time to mobilize troops in the Central Plains. After all, Bashu had a good harvest, so it was easier to feed the enemy and plunder better.

Moreover, due to the wide distribution of the Sound Division and the large amount of money spent, Li Jia learned that the number of troops entering the art this time was approximately 50,000, including 50,000 elite Imperial Guards.

Officials from the Ministry of Revenue calculated that if 50,000 people traveled a long distance to Hanzhong, and based on the ruins of Guanzhong, it would only take one month for the Central Plains to consume one million strings.

This is because the copper coins in the Central Plains do not contain enough copper, and the value of a coin is less than 80% of the Shenwu Tongbao. Therefore, the average reward for each person before setting off is more than ten coins. The reward alone can empty the treasury.

"So, Your Majesty, if the Central Plains really goes to Bashu, its treasury will definitely be unable to support it, and it will be powerless to take down the interference, which is very small." A minister of Hube nodded and said.

"With Jiangnan's integrity, if there is really nothing we can do, we will definitely pay for it to go south." Li Jia shook his head and said, his eyes blazing:

"This time, we must be quick and break through Jinling City before the Central Plains have time to react."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Everyone in the military aircraft department bowed and saluted, which made Li Jia quite embarrassed.

"Your Majesty's bronze cannon has been completed. Its power is immeasurable. It will definitely be able to break through Jinling City. When the time comes to conquer the river, the great cause of the rejuvenation of the Tang Dynasty will be half accomplished!!" As the only permanent minister of the Military Aircraft Department, Wang Ning

very excited.

Just relying on the division of north and south can make him famous in history.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the front line."

The victory letter from the Radiosound Department came faster and more detailed than Huang Yang's letter.

Li Jia opened it without scruples and took a look, then laughed and said: "This is really a great happy event, everyone should come and reward it."

Seeing the emperor's expression, everyone had already guessed that there was a victory on the front line, and it was not a small one. As long as it was a victory instead of a defeat, the people in the Military Aircraft Department were very happy, because it represented their

supply and demand.

Everyone passed it around one by one, and were immediately overjoyed. They all bent down and congratulated: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. This is the blessing of our ancestors and the destiny of heaven."

The 20,000 Divine Guards were attacked by the 5,000 Lingdong Guards. The entire army was wiped out and more than 10,000 people were captured, leaving Qianzhou City trapped.

With such a huge disparity in military strength, the victory was so great. It was destiny, and it was no lie.

Could it be that the fate of the Tang Dynasty should not be terminated?

Such thoughts suddenly appeared in everyone's mind, and their eyes became calmer. It seems that in a few hundred years, the restoration of the old affairs of Han Guangwu in the world is inevitable.

"The Ministry of Revenue will transfer some more grain and grass to Qianzhou. The army is attacking and there is not much grain and grass." The emperor casually ordered.

"No--" someone agreed.

Then, Li Jia took Wang Ning and left the military aircraft office, came to a small pavilion, and sat down suddenly.

"How much food did the imperial court spend these days?" Li Jia asked, looking at the calm lake.

"The monthly deployment of 20,000 troops has already reached 300,000 guan, and the imperial court can still support it until the autumn harvest." Wang Ning thought for a moment and said directly.

"However, if you add in the rewards and land, a rough estimate would be no less than several million dollars, and the imperial court would be unable to sustain itself."

"There is no need to worry. As long as Jiangnan is captured, there will be no shortage of money." The emperor smiled and said: "Besides, if it is really insufficient by then, I will post it by then. There will still be some money in the inner treasury.

,After all, my food and clothing expenses are not too much."

Yes, you don't use much, but Shaofu Temple makes too much, and you are involved in every business. Moreover, you put all the money from the Municipal Shipping Department and the salt tax into the internal treasury. The total of these items is

With one million guan, your internal treasury still has more money and food than the imperial household department.

Wang Ning smiled and did not continue talking.

The emperor didn't want to talk either. The weather was getting hotter and he was prone to sweating.

In the afternoon, the letter sent from the Shengsheng Department finally reached Li Jia's hands.

Can an eunuch adopt an heir and inherit a title?

Li Jia fell into deep thought.

If we go by the standards of later generations, we certainly hope that the number of noble titles will decrease so that the court can reduce expenditures and have fewer useless people. The princes and the Eight Banners in the Ming and Qing dynasties can learn from their mistakes.

Therefore, eunuchs are not allowed to adopt children to inherit the title.

However, if we look at it according to the standards of the world, the inheritance rights of an adopted son and a biological son are the same, which is in line with the values ​​of the world.

Especially in the late Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs adopted children while controlling their rights, which led to many situations where the father died and the son succeeded. The cancer of eunuchs was difficult to eliminate.

Therefore, permission is a strategy that is in line with tradition and can appease the generals.

Li Jia never does stupid things that endanger his rule. Following the general trend is the best choice.

Hongzhou.

The bright lights in the dark night, the banquet inside the high gate, and the laughter of men and the coquettish voices of women came from the beautiful antique buildings.

Although it is only a small place under the endless darkness of night, the atmosphere in the Lin family is very comfortable and cheerful.

Lin Renzhao had always been a stern person, and there were very few banquets at home, but today was different. The angel came from Jinling to Hongdu, and there was a sacred order read out. Moreover, he was an acquaintance of him, so it was appropriate to make an exception.

The visitors were Chen Qiao, the Minister of Civil Affairs and a bachelor of Hanlin. The two of them had always been sympathetic to each other and had highly consistent views on the imperial court. Moreover, they both advocated fighting against the Central Plains.
