The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 200 Situation Report
In the side hall of Jinshen Hall, Zhao Yanxun stood in front of a sand table.

Chen Anming and two other officials were marking various things on the sand table to make the area around Yuanyang clearer.

At this moment, in the side hall, there are also two chief historians of the palace, as well as Cheng Wenguang, who is in charge of the affairs of the city.

"Your Highness, the land in the southwest of Yuanyang is vast, extending all the way to Yuan County, and there are tens of thousands of acres of cultivated land!"

Zhao Yanxun looked at it calmly, tens of thousands of mu of land sounds like a lot, but not much can be used.

Judging from the feedback in the past few days, the density of zombies in the south direction is obviously higher, so that there have been several rebounds.

"According to the current actual control area, there is not even [-] mu in the south of Yuanyang, and even the county government is not covered, so don't think about the ones in Yuan County!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.

What he said was the truth, so Chen Anming couldn't refute it, so he could only continue talking.

"The southeast of Yuanyang is blocked by mountains and separated by the Bahe River. There are only [-] mu of land in the county. It's time to harvest!"

This time Chen Anming learned his lesson, and simply did not mention the situation in other counties, but only talked about the county.

Seeing that Zhao Yanxun was silent, Chen Anming went on to say: "In the north of Yuanyang, even if the monsters have been wiped out, the actual control of the land is about [-] mu!"

As for the west of Yuanyang, because it is separated by the Bahe River, the land is not particularly large, so there is no need to describe it.

"There are so many people in the city who want to survive, and if we want to keep the supply of food, we must bring in food from the fields outside!"

After saying this, Zhao Yanxun retreated to the chair, and then asked: "Regarding this matter, do you think the time has come?"

The three officials, including Chen Anming, were all from the former capital of Longyou, and they collected all the information about going out of the city to clean up the zombies.

That's why Zhao Yanxun listened to Chen Anming's opinion and asked him to evaluate the current level of safety outside the city, because they knew the situation of the zombies outside the city very well.

In fact, after going out to fight in the city recently, Zhao Yanxun is eager to establish a special government agency to manage the military situation and the corresponding affairs in the military.

He had already thought of the name of the official office, and it was called the Privy Council.

Hearing Zhao Yanxun's question, Chen Anming said slowly: "His Royal Highness, according to the unified and summarized situation, we can start harvesting now. The monsters outside the city are nothing but more inspections and cleaning up!"

"But I thought that...while promoting the autumn harvest, we have to cut down trees and bamboo to make a whole set of ordnance!"

Chen Anming knew that all matters related to the autumn harvest must be implemented by the chief minister of the palace.

Since I can't take the lead, I simply pick up the plane and make suggestions, which is equivalent to speaking out for the army.

Seeing Zhao Yanxun's thoughtful face, Chen Anming continued: "Your Highness, there are a lot of manpower in the city, as long as we allocate a little manpower, we can ensure the production of ordnance, and then we can recruit more soldiers!"

"The craftsmen are also idle when they are idle. It is better to maintain production so as not to lose their skills!"

One person counts the short and the other counts the long. As the leader of a power, Zhao Yanxun has realized the importance of speaking out.

After Chen Anming finished speaking, Zhao Yanxun asked several civil officials on the side: "What do you think about this?"

Cheng Wenguang was about to speak, but Guan Hetai spoke first: "Your Highness, Lord Chen's suggestion, I think it makes sense!"

"There are tens of thousands of laborers in the city, and the fields around Yuanyang really don't need so many people. It's better to send some people to cut trees and bamboos for military supplies as Master Chen said!"

"Only when the army is strong can we wipe out the monsters, save more people, and keep us alive!"

Seeing Guan Hetai finished speaking, Zhao Yanxun turned his attention to the other two.

"I have no objection!" Zhou Chengping replied.

Even a clean-blooded person like him knows the importance of the army today, so he will not hinder the development of the army.

The two palace chiefs, Shi, reached an agreement, and Cheng Wenguang naturally would not object, so the matter was settled like this.

"Okay, Cheng Qing will handle the recruitment of people who go out of the city to harvest and cut trees!"

The errand fell on him, which made Cheng Wenguang a little astonished. Why should the two elders take the lead in such a major event.

"The minister takes orders!" Cheng Wenguang replied.

Zhao Yanxun picked up the teacup on the side, and then said: "We must recruit young and strong people, not old people, and it is easy to die if we go out!"

After rescuing survivors these days, his actual population has reached [-], but to Zhao Yanxun, each population is still very important.

Rescuing nearly a thousand people from the suburbs of Yuanyang sounds like a lot, but when the zombies did not break out, there were tens of thousands of people living in the suburbs of Yuanyang, and the survival rate was actually extremely low.

"Yes!" Cheng Wenguang took the order again.

In fact, there is nothing to do, so Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "You are busy with various affairs, Guan Changshi will stay here, and the rest of you can go to work on your own!"

After all the officials saluted Zhao Yanxun, they bowed and left the hall, only Liu Guan and Tai stood there deeply.

Zhao Yanxun got up from the chair, and walked to the side shelf, on which was a simple decorated knife.

This knife is the Meteorite Sword given by the system. Unfortunately, it has not participated in actual combat, but the quality is really worth mentioning.

Pulling the saber out of its sheath, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "The important affairs of the country are only sacrifices and soldiers. The importance of the army is even more self-evident now!"

Guan Hetai was a little confused, so he could only reply: "What Your Highness said is absolutely true!"

Zhao Yanxun went on to say: "Nowadays, there are many soldiers under the jurisdiction of the palace, but there is no unified management of the Yamen. This king deeply thinks it is wrong!"

Hearing this, Guan Hetai guessed what Zhao Yanxun was going to say next, so he didn't interrupt at all.

"That's why the king decided to set up the Privy Council, but the Privy Council is short of an officer with outstanding ability who can be trusted by the king!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yanxun's goal was ready to come out.

But what Guan Hetai didn't understand was that he was obviously a civil servant, so why should he be appointed as a military officer? Isn't this obviously messed up?

"Your Highness, do you want a minister to take up the post?"

Putting the knife back into its sheath, Zhao Yanxun turned around and said slowly: "You are an old man in the palace, and you have outstanding abilities. This king thinks you are very suitable!"

"I'm just a civil servant. I don't have the strength to restrain a chicken. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on this important task!" Guan Hetai said with a wry smile.

It's not bad for him. If some officials are too clean, they will think it is a humiliation to themselves.

After all, how can a dignified scholar be a stinking mound!
"It's not that you are asked to fight in battle, you just need to take care of the daily affairs of the army!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.

"Your Highness, my minister..."

"Needless to say, you are the most suitable candidate, don't let me down!"

Zhao Yanxun had reached this point in his words, even if Guan Hetai had some conflicts in his heart, he could only act according to the king's order.

"The minister takes orders!"
