When Yang Shu visited Jingxi before, he discussed with his planner, and finally decided to marginalize the five Liu brothers, but would not send them back to the Wudian City.

The purpose is to see what Yueyinglou and Nine Life are planning.

The reason why I am so bold is that my strength has increased a lot compared to before, and my confidence has increased significantly, and I have the confidence to test some risks.

Including the royal guards who were already around him in the single unit, Yang Shu currently has seven people around him, not even the five Liu brothers who were pushed to the periphery. So according to Yang Shu's view, he now has the ability to put the five Liu brothers in front of him to see what the other party is going to do.

"Sit all." Yang Shu picked his teeth and called a few strategists to find a place to sit by himself.

Yang Shu had a tooth sacrifice, but a few strategists did not. He waited for a while to go to the kitchen of the royal palace to make some noodles or other midnight snacks together.

In the past, it was not like this. Yang Shu was watching everyone around him. In the past, Yang Shu would invite his people to eat together at a table or several tables, whether it was a roadside stall or a mountain delicacy. Now this rule of eating is only recently. It is said that it is necessary to start to establish the majesty of Yang Shuling King, and the superiority must be revealed earlier and cannot be as casual as before, so there are new rules for dining separately.

After everyone sat down, Yang Shu said, "Let me talk about the second step of the tightening of money and grain. I said it roughly before, but now the war in the south seems to change faster than we expected. In this way, the second step of the tightening of money and grain is likely to meet the conditions in advance."

"Your Majesty, it's right to put the strategy in front. But my subordinates thought that although the south is now on the stance, it seems that the decisive battle is going to be held, but my subordinates think that it will definitely not be so fast. Because Zuo Yuliang's central army is still in Wuhu, there is no tendency to press forward at all, and even the left and right wings are not pressed up, which is completely different from what he looked like before the war."

"Hmph, isn't Zuo Shuai's strategy so easy to guess? I haven't seen that the border army's food and grass plan in the documents of the Ministry of Revenue has increased by nearly 30% in the past month compared to before? It's obvious that it is preparing for the decisive battle. I think a decisive battle may break out in mid-to-mid next month or early June."

"The barbarians have not even stood up to their own royal court yet. Are they going to fight to the decisive battle? It's unreasonable."

"Now we are discussing, what's the reason for you to be so erratic?"

Staff members use their brains and mouths to make a living. Their hands are not good at making moves, so no matter how fierce the argument is, they cannot fight. On the contrary, quarrels are the norm for daily communication among strategists. Don’t look at the two who are fighting red as soon as they come up, but in fact, these two have a good personal relationship, but one code will always have differences when discussing matters.

The attitudes of these two people actually represent the two views of the strategists here.

Then you say a word and say something, and the final result is that you can first promote the second step of tightening money and grain, but you don’t have to rush to report it. You will talk about everything after there are obvious changes in the military affairs in the south.

In fact, the first step of tightening of money and grain has been officially implemented across the country. The impact will definitely gradually appear, but it will not have much impact on the lives of ordinary people. Because the accumulation of the Jingji Dynasty forty years is not a matter of time. Looking at restaurants and taverns in various places as usual, you can know that the intensity of the tightening of money and grain in the first step is not high, and it is relatively mild.

If the second step of the tightening of money and grain will be implemented, it will be very different from the current one. It means that more than 40% of the money and grain and other materials in the State Council will be transferred to the front line, and high-consumer industries such as winemaking will be directly interrupted.

Of course, the second step of austerity strategy must be discussed with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, and only after reaching an agreement will it be introduced and implemented at the right time.

The discussion was at the right time of Hai. After the tune was settled, the other strategists said goodbye and left, not knowing whether to go to eat or go to bed directly. Only the strategist stayed.

"There's something else?"

"Yes, Prince."

"Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of noodles. You should be hungry, and you're eating and talking." Yang Shu didn't give the other party the chance to refuse, and directly asked the inner guard to go to the kitchen to arrange the work.

The planner had no choice but to thank him. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. The Spirit King may have many minor problems in his personality, but he really takes good care of his subordinates.

Soon, a bowl of mixed noodles was delivered, but the portion was not large, but the master's appetite was very small and he was enough to eat.

"Don't worry, you eat first, let's talk about things after you finish eating."

After half a stick of incense, I finished shouting in a bowl of noodles. I put down the bowls and chopsticks, and the two began to talk about the main things.

"Prince, the strategy of tightening money and grain has now allowed you to gain a lot of people everywhere. Although it is not as stable as the major clans and forces, it is at least a lot more gain than before. Do you think we should start trying the ownership of the four sects when we come back this time?"

In the past, Yang Shu's main strength was in the business sector, and he had his own personnel in all walks of life, both openly and secretly. It may be exaggerated to say that he was omnipresent, but his power was spread all over the country but he did not talk nonsense at all.

Now that he continues to have the special power of tightening money and grain, Yang Shu has gone around the country to the hub cities in various places and gained a lot of local officials who had no idea how to start before. Of course, these forces are not stable, but they have indeed brought him great benefits. In terms of momentum alone, he has already reached the front position of the six princes.

Now that the first step of tightening money and food has been completed, Yang Shu hurriedly returned to the imperial city to make a move, hoping to gain greater voice and initiative in the heart of the imperial city after his strength has increased.

Where does the right to speak come from? The ministers in the court help you speak in the temple, or have your people in key positions in each department. Or, the force that can be entitled to choose to take sides is taken in your hands in the imperial city.

The previous Yang Shu does not meet the conditions at present. Whether it is the voice representing him in the temple or his staff in various departments, there are very few.

The only thing that can be used as a breakthrough by Yang Shu and has the opportunity to hold it in his hands is the military institutions in the imperial city that can stand on the side, as well as the guards of the four gates of the imperial city and the yamen runners of the imperial city local yamen.

"Since you're back, you have to try the depth. Do you have any ideas?"

"Prince, now the three gates in the middle east, west, and north are controlled by King Jing, King Shou and the fourth prince, King Lu. It is difficult for us to move. But the South Gate was formerly from King Qian, and it was only recently taken office. Now King Qian is killed and has no roots. If we intervene, we may have the possibility of taking it back.

In addition, there are the yamen runners in the city. Currently, the local yamen in the imperial city is controlled by the sixth prince Qi Wangfeng. However, it is said that the news in the civil service group has been wrong recently. If you have the opportunity to pry the King of Qi away, you can find an opportunity to make up for it."

"I won't talk about the four doors for now, so I need to consider it. How can we get involved in the affairs of the yamen?"
