The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

early morning.

Ye Feng arrived at the court early. He was still sitting on the armchair with the Emperor's Sword placed next to him.

His eyes flickered slightly. He didn't expect that Ban Chao's negotiation in Hexi County would go so smoothly. This guy used his eloquent tongue to convince the Niaoyuan tribe.

According to the intelligence sent back by the scouts yesterday, the leader of the Niaoyuan tribe, Wuhuan, is willing to submit to the Song Dynasty on the condition that they exchange war horses and iron ore unique to the Mobei Desert for silk, wine and food.

The current Song Dynasty has eighteen counties, plus the four counties donated by the Western Shu Dynasty and the three counties seized from the Jin Dynasty, a total of twenty-five counties.

As long as there is no war on the border, there will be sufficient food in the entire Song Dynasty to support the people and the army.

If we could exchange war horses from the Mobei Desert, it would be a great boost to the cavalry of the entire Song Dynasty.

Mobei has always been rich in famous horses that can travel a thousand miles a day.

"Greetings to the King of Zhenguo!"

With the arrival of Yu Shouren, the Minister of War and Minister of Personnel, Hai Ming, the Minister of Revenue, and Tang Da, the Minister of Justice, all the civil and military officials bowed to Ye Feng with admiration on their faces.

"No need to be polite!"

Ye Feng raised his hand towards the civil and military officials, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

Look around.

There were nearly twenty fewer officials in the court than yesterday. I think they were all Li Linpu's followers and had been killed.

"My Lords, I believe you have heard the good news from the Minister of Rites, Lord Ban Chao, that the Niaoyuan tribe has withdrawn from Hexi County to the Mobei Desert, right?"

Ye Feng looked at the civil and military officials.

The good news brought back by the scouts yesterday had already spread throughout the entire Jinling City.

"The Niaoyuan tribe wants to exchange our war horses and iron ore for our silk, wine, and food. Do you think we can agree to this?"

Ye Feng asked everyone.

"Your Excellency, I think it is possible to exchange it, but we need to see how the grain harvest of our Great Song Dynasty is."

Yu Shouren was the first to express his opinion. As the Minister of War, he knew very well that if war horses could be exchanged from the Mobei Desert, it would be a huge boost to the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the entire Song Dynasty, especially the Mobei Desert, which was rich in top-quality horses.

"Since the arrival of the Lord of the State, all counties have paid their taxes in full, and some counties even handed over the excess taxes."

"Just Lord Chang Sunji of Yanyun County, the grain he handed in from last year to this year is enough to feed ten counties."

"And Wang Huanzhi, the governor of Huainan County, has implemented a new model in Huainan County, which has greatly increased the harvest of the people. Huainan County, which has always been known as the granary of the Song Dynasty, has harvested more than five times more grain this autumn than in previous years."

"As long as there is no war outside our Great Song Dynasty, all counties have sufficient food and grass. With a small portion of the stored food, we can exchange it for war horses and iron ore from the Mobei area, which are what our Great Song Dynasty lacks. I think it can be done."

Hai Ming's old face was full of excitement. He had been the Minister of Revenue for decades, and he had never been so wealthy as he had been in the past two years.

The people of the entire Song Dynasty lived and worked in peace and contentment, the land had good harvests, and local officials did not dare to embezzle, so the taxes collected were naturally sufficient.

"I also agree with Lord Yu's proposal."

"The lower official seconded the proposal."

Following Yu Shouren and Hai Ming's statements, the rest of the officials followed suit.

Ye Feng didn’t have too many thoughts.

Wang Huanzhi achieved such great results in Huainan County in just one year, so he was promoted to prime minister. At that time, the entire Song Dynasty would be implemented according to his system. Once the new policy was launched, the development of the entire Song Dynasty would only become more and more terrifying.

This is also the reason why Ye Feng wants to clean up Li Linpu and his remaining gang members.

To implement the new policy, it is necessary to clean up the bureaucracy.

"Send someone to pass on my order. Minister of Rites Ban Chao has been rewarded with a thousand rolls of silk and satin, as well as 100,000 kilograms of fine wine for his meritorious service in subduing the Niaoyuan tribe."

"Order, Li Ling, the governor of Hexi County, to fully cooperate with Operation Banchao and make sure to successfully recruit all the nomadic tribes in the Mobei Desert."

"At the same time, the people of Hexi County are encouraged to exchange goods with the nomadic peoples in the Mobei Desert, and local officials are not allowed to stop them."

There was a gleam in the depths of Ye Feng's eyes.

Just as Ban Chao analyzed, the nomadic peoples in the Mobei Desert live in harsh conditions, but as long as they can be integrated, they will be a very powerful force.

If we send a large army to conquer them, they will run around in the Mobei Desert with their families, and it will be difficult to truly conquer them.

Then why not find a way to assimilate them?

For those who are unwilling to surrender, they will naturally be killed and wiped out forever.

He rewarded Ban Chao with so many silks, satins and liquor in order to support Ban Chao in using silks, satins and liquor to completely open up the business route in the entire Mobei Desert.

"As ordered!"

Yu Shouren and other officials bowed and saluted when they heard Ye Feng's order.

"Do you have anything else to report?"

Ye Feng slowly looked at the civil and military officials and asked.

"Your Excellency, the powerful Prime Minister Li Linpu has been executed. The Song Dynasty cannot be without a Prime Minister. Please select a Prime Minister as soon as possible."

Hu Ting, the Minister of Rites, with a head full of white hair, walked forward and bowed.

When the other officials heard Hu Ting's words, they couldn't help but look at him.

I don’t know who Zhenguojun will choose as prime minister.

Many people looked at Yu Shouren quietly.

but.

Now Yu Shouren is the Minister of two ministries, and I'm afraid he is too busy to be the Prime Minister, right?

"Oh, since Minister Hu is giving advice, you must have a candidate, right? Tell me about it."

Ye Feng looked at Hu Ting and asked slowly.

"Your Excellency, the entire Song Dynasty is now peaceful and prosperous under the leadership of you. I think we can invite the old Prime Minister Zhang Ling to return to the court." Hu Ting said.

"Old Prime Minister Zhang is indeed the right person."

Some officials also nodded.

"Dean Zhang is old and not suitable for the high-intensity position of Prime Minister. Are you planning to send him off early?"

Ye Feng looked at Hu Ting with teasing and sarcasm.

"This……"

Hu Ting was stunned when he heard this.

"Haha... Minister Hu, I was just joking, but Dean Zhang is indeed inappropriate." Ye Feng immediately looked at the civil and military officials and said slowly: "Don't think that our Great Song Dynasty seems to be safe and sound after this war."

"However, at this time, we cannot just sit back and reap the fruits of our labor. Instead, we should make drastic reforms, eliminate the drawbacks, seize the opportunity, and rapidly strengthen the Song Dynasty."

"Otherwise, no matter if it is the Great Qin Dynasty or the Great Xia Dynasty that is eyeing us covetously, once they come out in full force, we will be destroyed."

"I selected the candidate for Prime Minister when I went to Luofu City more than a year ago."

Ye Feng was actually waiting for someone to make a proposal, and then he would say it out loud.

When Yu Shouren heard Ye Feng's words, he felt a little disappointed.

However, he believed in Ye Feng's vision.

I am even more curious about who the prime minister chosen by Ye Feng is?
