Ye Hua received a letter written by Chen Shi. Although the guy was big and thick, his handwriting was still quite elegant, completely different from his thick and clumsy appearance. It seemed that Chen Tuan's teaching was quite attentive.

Chen Shi told Ye Hua that Yang Jiye and his family returned to Linzhou. After overnight discussions, the Yang family had already made a decision that they wanted to surrender to the Great Zhou. But if they did this, Liu Chong would inevitably counterattack. The Yang family was weak and the court must support it.

After receiving this news, Ye Hua was overjoyed.

The Yang family and Liu Chong broke up. His plan to save the Yang family had at least a good start, but what to do next? Ye Hua had a headache again.

After all, the Yang family and the Great Zhou did not directly border and could not send troops to directly reinforce. What should we do so that there will be no mistakes?

After some thought, Ye Hua first wrote a very long memorial to Guo Wei, which made people quickly send it to the capital.

After receiving Ye Hua’s memorial, Guo Wei was even more happy after reading it, and even more excited than Ye Hua!

"Okay, it's great! Go and invite a few husbands to come and discuss the matter."

Li Gu, Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu, who had just successfully proposed the marriage and returned to Beijing, also came.

When he heard that the Yang family had joined the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wei Renpu first clapped his hands and laughed, "I congratulate Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, there is hope of pacifying Hedong!"

Guo Wei smiled and said, "What are the insights of Mr. Wei?"

"Your Majesty, Linzhou is on the back of Liu Chong. They abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, which is equivalent to stabbing Liu Chong in the back, making it difficult for him to take care of the head and tail, and he is unable to defend himself. The old minister believes that the offensive in Jinzhou should be strengthened, and he should be restrained from the front and to restrain Liu Chong's army from the front, giving the Yang family a chance to grow and grow. As long as the Yang family can hold on, the Zhe family in the Prefecture will inevitably join. At that time, the two families will work together to attack north and south with the court. Liu Chong will definitely be dead end, and there is no reason to be lucky!"

Guo Wei laughed, he and Wei Renpu coincided with each other.

"Hedong is a big trouble. If it can be pacified with turmoil, our Great Zhou will definitely be powerful and intimidate the world." Guo Wei turned his head and asked Fan Zhi, "Gonggong Fan, the army will go first before the food and grass are moved. Can the treasury pay for money, grain and military pay at present?"

Fan Zhi's face was rosy and said loudly: "I received a letter from Ye Changshi. He proposed to sell wasteland in the northwest at a low price. He only needs to pay 10 jin of money or 20 shi of grain to go to Luoyang and Chang'an and other places to reclaim wasteland. After 5 years of cultivation, the land will belong to the farmer."

Fan Zhi suggested to Guo Wei: "At present, many merchants from Hedong fled to the Great Zhou, and in the south, there are also many people who fled in the past and returned to their homes... By selling land, they can raise at least 300,000 jin of military pay, which is enough to support the maturity of autumn grain. When the land tax is collected, the situation will be much better!"

The war is about money, grain and manpower. At the beginning of the year, Guo Wei exempted cattle rent and abolished the camp and land. It has already shown results. The people are actively farming, and the area of ​​farming in various places has increased a lot, and this year's bumper harvest is expected.

With food, you have confidence!

"Okay! Then this time I will fight a big battle!"

Guo Wei waved his fist hard and made up his mind.

First, he issued an order to Wang Jun, asking him to launch an offensive, and he must hold back Liu Chong's troops, and he must not have the opportunity to return to the rescue. The court will make every effort to raise the amount of grain and people needed.

Then Guo Wei issued an order to Ye Hua, and asked Ye Hua to send someone to contact Yang Xin, and officially appointed Yang Xin as the Minister of War and the Governor of Linzhou. His two sons, Yang Jiye and Yang Chongxun, were named Yuhou, the capital of the Cavalry and Infantry Army. Guo Wei took out 100,000 jin from the treasury as military pay and gave it to the Yang family for encouragement.

It's a bit miserable. The 100,000 yuan, and 50,000 yuan are the property of Brother Guo Xing. Ye Hua helped him manage it and made a lot of money. He had to send it to the palace regularly. Guo Wei took away his son's money without hesitation.

The other 50,000 yuan was obtained by Guo Wei’s private sale of jewelry, gold and silver from the palace.

Didn’t it be mentioned before that in order to encourage frugality, Guo Wei smashed many jewelry and utensils.

That's right, the thing was smashed, but gold was still gold, and silver was still silver. Guo Wei privately asked the craftsmen to re-mold and turn them into ingots, and then took them out of the palace and placed them in the gold and silver store for sale for exchange.

Speaking of which, he, the emperor, is really shabby.

But no matter what, the support from the court is coming!

Ye Hua's waist suddenly became hard!

He originally only wanted to help the Yang family so as not to take detours. Now it seems that he has the opportunity to destroy the Northern Han as soon as possible. You must know that in the original history, the Northern Han was quite despised by Zhao Er! It has been more than 20 years later.

During the 20 or 30 years of existence of the Northern Han Dynasty, it continued to collude with the Khitan, causing great trouble to the Central Plains. At the same time, the people in Hedong also suffered from exploitation and suffered heavy losses.

At the beginning, there were still more than 200,000 households in the Northern Han Dynasty. When the country was destroyed, there were only 30,000 households left, which was less than 1/8 of the initial population. Don’t count the number of people born during the period. This data alone can show how bad the Northern Han Dynasty is! How hateful!

It is really heartbreaking that the great man was not used to resist the Khitan, but instead flew with the Central Plains and killed each other.

When Guo Wei revealed to Ye Hua that he hoped to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, Ye Hua was revived and deserved to be Boss Guo, with a great courage!

Ye Hua is full of responsibility and full of fighting spirit. He wants to give the Yang family greater support!

At present, Linzhou is still alone and cannot border the Great Zhou Dynasty. The situation is not optimistic. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to win over Dangxiang people and open up important transportation routes, and it must be successful immediately!

He invited Fu Yanqing, Wang Jing, and other military leaders over.

"A few days ago, I mentioned to you that if you go to contact the Dangxiang people, are there any results?"

These people looked at each other and no one was willing to speak.

Ye Hua looked around and saw Xiang Gong, who had just replaced Wang Jing and became the prefect of Shanzhou. He was Wang Jing's old subordinate and one of the generals who were bribed by Ye Hua.

"General Xiang, you have been in the northwest for a long time and are familiar with the situation, so you don't have many friends in Dangxiang and can't contact Qingyan's business?"

Xiang Gong was full of guilt and vomited for a while before saying, "Ye Changshi, it's because I'm not willing to do my best. Why is Dangxiang unwilling to do business with us?"

"Don't want to?"

Ye Hua seemed to have heard the biggest joke. What is Dangxiang? It’s just cattle, horses and green salt. They can’t eat beef every day and dip it in green salt?

If you want food, tea, silk cloth, pots, pans, iron and agricultural tools... If you are the leader of the Dangxiang and someone brings money to your door, how can you refuse?

Ye Hua looked at these people and found that everyone was a little weird and didn't dare to look at him, especially the two old military leaders Fu Yanqing and Wang Jing, one looked at the sky and the other looked at the ground, as if it had nothing to do with them! Oh my god, just pretend to be garlic!

Bang!

Ye Hua slapped the table suddenly and stood up suddenly. He stepped on the table, making himself look more imposing!

Looking down at the group of people, he sternly said: "I understand. Dangxiang people don't want to do business. The reason why they don't want to do it with me is because someone helps them smuggle green salt, right?"

Fu Yanqing's brows trembled, and Wang Jing's mouth opened slightly. Unexpectedly, the boy named Ye was so clever. They continued to pretend to be stupid!

Ye Hua sneered repeatedly, "I understand. There are salt merchants operating in private. You guys, all of you, have taken the benefits of salt merchants? They have fed you, so they don't speak?"

Xiang Gong waved his hand quickly, "Ye Changshi, you can't say anything nonsense. What a great sin this is. Trading private salt is a death sentence!"

"Hahaha! Death crime? Didn't you cut your head?" Ye Hua said loudly: "What is private salt and what is official salt? Isn't it all the words of a saint? Let's say that, you will immediately copy the salt merchants, cut off Dangxiang's smuggling channels, and force Dangxiang to do business with us. I can let you get the previous ten times and a hundred times the benefits!"
Chapter completed!
