First there was a great victory in Jianchuan, then there was a fierce victory!

Cheng Jinhou, Pan Shigui, Shen Wanlin... Many names that were previously only famous in the army can now be heard in the streets and alleys.

People like to be the ones who serve in their own military can win battles. First, they have face, and second, the more they win, does it mean they can finish the battle earlier?

However, not everyone was just happy. Many people were happy and worried. Their children joined the army to eat imperial food to fight for their future, but they didn't expect to encounter a war. I heard that they had already gone to the south, and I don't know what the situation is now. They are very frightened.

Since the fight started in the south, it was obvious that there were many more people holding funerals on the street than usual. They were all white-haired people sent to black-haired people, and they were all dressed and were carried by soldiers in the garrison to be buried. Then there will be certificates of merit and some pensions.

There are people who cry and shout at the sky and the earth, and there are also people who feel sad, but more of them are hatred for the barbarians than the war itself.

"Kill! After all the barbarians are killed, they will not fight again." This is the simple idea of ​​many ordinary people about this war. It is like a mouse in the house, and it will be clean if it is killed.

In addition to the many people holding funerals, the people in the imperial city also realized the direct impact of war on their daily lives.

The price of food and food was increased at the same time. Although the increase was not large, I heard that the yamen did not allow grain merchants to raise prices, it was still 20% more expensive than before. And I couldn’t buy it openly. I had to buy it according to the number of people in the family. Adults and children were different in quantity, so the food I could buy every month was just enough. I couldn’t be hungry, but I couldn’t afford to save food.

The rich families are fine, but they usually have the habit of storing grain, so they are not panic yet. Ordinary people are uneasy and hope that the dynasty can finish the war early, so that they will not be as limited as they are now.

In fact, it is not just the restriction of food, meat, iron, cloth, medicinal materials, etc., on the list of tightening restrictions. It is not that the front line is short, but that it is to prepare in advance to create surplus for possible attrition wars. If the situation is not going well, it will not be fooled. At the same time, it can also give the people of the whole country a "tightening life" adaptation process in advance.

In addition, the four major fronts and local garrisons have begun to conduct the first batch of enlarged recruitment. This batch of recruitment will not go directly to the front line, but will stay in the domestic training and replace the main force stationed in China. If the front line is tight, they will also be sent to the south in batches according to the training situation.

It can be said that with the news of the tightening of money and grain across the country and the large-scale expansion of the army, the lowest-class people of the Jingji Dynasty also felt the tension of the war.

Officials from all over the world are more sensitive than ordinary people. They are now worried that they will fall into the pit by mistake.

On the one hand, the money and food tightening brought by the war, and all aspects have entered into serious war control. Although the strategy was studied and formulated by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, the executors were mainly from the Ministry of Revenue. The seventh son of the emperor, the Lingwang Yang Shu, could hold this power. In this way, officials from all over the country did not dare to offend him at all, for fear of being "bottled" and then their official voices were damaged.

On one hand, the civil servant leader led by the left prime minister made it clear or secretly that he would resist the Lingwang's strategy of tightening money and food as much as possible.

On the other hand, there is a secret undercurrent. The other six princes from the other two, except the Spirit King. The implication is similar to those of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. Simply put, it is just that they don't want the Spirit King to have a good life.

But not many people were really stupid enough to stand up and boycott the Ling King. Those who stood up had already entered the prison of Xuanqingwei. Because the Ling King said that resisting the tightening of money and food was like a collaboration with the enemy, Xuanqingwei must investigate it strictly. As for the Ministry of Justice, the Ling King didn't pay any attention.

Is the boundaries in the officialdom like these official ranks useful in front of the Ling King? No matter how many rank you are, you can't stand it in front of him. In the end, most of the officials from all over the country showed a submissive side and took the initiative to comfort the Ling King, who was holding a knife, and then got the first stage of the food delivery standard to suppress the tension of the people under their rule. As for the others, it was just a matter of later.

Besides, who dares to underestimate the Spirit King now? I’m afraid it’s not a brainless fool.

There was news that the Zuo Prime Minister originally wanted to ask His Majesty to hand over the power of money and grain to the Ministry of Revenue. However, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Bai Changqing took the initiative to stand in the Ling King, causing the Zuo Prime Minister to lose all his face. So the Zuo Prime Minister used the Song family in the imperial city to beat the Ling King. As a result, within a few days, all the business of the Zuo Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice Ma Xuanlin who participated in the operation were ruined. Moreover, due to the pressure of the power of money and grain to the capital, the local government did not even dare to speak for the Zuo Prime Minister.

Does this count as being beaten up and then slapped back immediately?

As the center of this storm, Yang Shu saw everything around him clearly. There are countless people he offended now, but they are all suppressed in front of the great power in his hands. Once he loses this "big test", then wait for others to take the blame.

So Yang Shu either doesn’t do it or does it outright. He doesn’t have a way out of retreat, but he still cares whether others have room to retreat?

The more I inspected various places, the more I could feel the feeling of holding power. What if it was a higher position? Will it be more comfortable?

Yang Shu put down the document in his hand and leaned against the back of the chair, rubbing his slightly sore eyes.

Suddenly, it seemed that there was a quarrel outside, as if a large group of people were shouting something. You could vaguely hear words such as "Jianchuan" and "Great Victory".

Before Yang Shu could get up, the knock on the door outside the study room rang, and the leader under his command was allowed to come in.

"Prince! Jianchuan has a battle report. Just now, the Hongling Messenger sang a great victory all the way out of the teleportation formation. Now the good news has been posted at the door of the local government!"

"What?" Yang Shu suddenly stood up, walked to the other side and grabbed the battle report that had been printed, and read it quickly.

"Hahaha! Not bad! Zuo Yuliang is indeed a famous general in the world, and his plans are impeccable. Now that Jianchuan breaks the deadlock, it means that the battle has passed the stalemate and has completely entered the counterattack stage. This is much faster than you had expected before."

"Yes, the prince. Before, our deductions will probably be sluggish until the second half of the year before we will have a substantial victory, but we didn't expect that the situation would be broken in March. I think it will be greatly accelerated after that, maybe..."

Yang Shu waved his hand and interrupted, "Don't be busy making conclusions. It is to see how Zuo Yuliang's performance slowly, that is, I am very confident in him. However, after this great victory, it may intensify the conflict between my brothers. After all, the "big test" cannot be allowed to take it slowly, and it is likely to end with the military affairs in the south. No one can slow down. In this way, my troubles should be able to be divided."
