I am also waiting for the hero to usurp the throne today [Transmigration Book]

One sentence made Li Jinyu's drowsy head sober up a lot.

"What reserve?"

"Food and grass." Zhou Wenyan was silent for a while, and said, "I have checked the dispatch document of the Ministry of War, and now the grain and grass sent to the front line are only less than ten days' share for the army."

Ten days!

The cunning country has assembled a large army, intending to break through the frontier in one fell swoop, and it is absolutely impossible to end the battle in ten days!

The troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first.

The most important thing in war is food and grass.

Li Jinyu regarded Huo Caiyu as more important than anything else, so he said without hesitation, "I'll adjust the food and grass."

Minister of the Ministry of War coughed, stood up and said: "Your Majesty does not know, the Ministry of War has always adjusted food in batches. Now that it is past the autumn harvest season, there is a good harvest of grain in all parts of our dynasty, and the border army is no exception——Regent Wang Ruo If there is not enough for a while, we can buy grain and grass from the local people.”

Although Li Jinyu had never fought in a war, he still felt that something was wrong: "How can we make a temporary purchase?"

"Batching grain adjustments reduces the crisis of grain transportation on the one hand, and on the other hand prevents the frontier army from making mistakes." The Minister of the Ministry of War stopped short, "There must be no exceptions."

Zhou Wenyan frowned: "If it's an ordinary time, it's fine. This time, the cunning country is fully prepared, and the situation in the border army is unknown. If we can't provide enough food and grass..."

"Master Zhou, can you guarantee that the border troops will not turn against each other?"

This accusation was so obvious that Li Jinyu heard it harshly: "Lord Zhao, speak carefully."

"The border guards are guarding the frontier for Dadi. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, how can Mr. Zhao lightly slander you?" Zhou Wen said that his words were already a little blunt.

"It is precisely because I am the Minister of the Ministry of War that I said that." The Minister of the Ministry of War has a calm face, "I have been the Minister of the Ministry of War for twenty years. I must know how much food and grass the frontier army needs. I must never dare to make fun of the people of Li - now Our dynasty has assembled [-]% of the army to go to the border guards. If anyone has a second heart, the capital may block it? The batch distribution of grain is a decree handed down by the Taizu. So far, no one has protested. Why did the grain and grass disappear when the regent left Not enough?"

Zhou Wenyan was young after all, and was choked by the words of Minister of the Ministry of War.

Generals holding military power have been tabooed by the emperors of all dynasties. Even in the most critical times, the emperors seldom give up control of military power.

Zhou Wenyan was naturally aware of this.

What's more, the regent had controlled most of the power in the Di Dynasty before. Even if there was no mobilization department in order to avoid suspicion, it might already be an unstable factor in the eyes of many courtiers.

Zhou Wenyan sighed secretly in his heart, and looked up at the emperor who was on the dragon throne, feeling a little uncertain.

If it is an ordinary emperor and the regent, there must be a estrangement... But now the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary.

Zhou Wenyan saw that they supported and trusted each other when they were from Qingshui County, even when they came to the capital.

Now that the regent has gone to the army, will their relationship be different?

Li Jinyu understood the meaning of the Minister of War, and sat on the dragon seat and pursed his lips.

After a long time, he finally said firmly: "Zhou Wenyan drafted a report on the need for food and grass at the border, and the Secretary of the Ministry of War will confirm it and make up for the frontline food and grass."

Minister of the Ministry of War was stunned: "Your Majesty, the Taizu's decree..."

"I don't know what Taizu's decree is." Li Jinyu stood up, raised his head, something dazzling settled in his eyes, and his voice was powerful, "I only know that my generals and soldiers are on the front line for the sake of the people in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and for the people present here. You don’t have to worry about being burned, killed and looted tomorrow by cunning wolf riders, and you will sacrifice your blood, tears and sweat, then those of us who can still eat, drink and have fun here can’t hold them back.”

"Your Majesty, but..."

"It's nothing, I've made up my mind." Li Jinyu didn't hesitate, "Just do what I said just now."

——Now His Majesty is no longer a fatuous tyrant who bowed down to the prime minister and the general as he did a year ago, but has completely transformed into a true emperor with his own opinions, strategies, and courage.

Many officials who have witnessed the growth of the current emperor all sighed in their hearts.

In the past, I only thought that the regent was the core of the court. Without the regent, I am afraid that I will go back to the previous era when the ministers divided the party... But I forgot that the regent was also promoted by the hand of the majesty. How can the majesty be harmless to real people and animals?

The Minister of the Ministry of War sighed helplessly, and responded: "The minister leads the order."

……

"Regent, hasn't the capital come to report on the matter of food and grass?"

The howling wind at the border swept the sand and dust, washing the skins of the soldiers until they were rough and dark.Even through the towering city walls, they couldn't resist the vast bleak air coming from beyond the Great Wall.

Huo Caiyu sat in the tent, thinking about his next plan in front of the military newspaper.There were three or four soldiers in uniform sitting in the tent.

Hearing someone ask this question, Huo Caiyu didn't raise his head: "Not yet."

The soldier said indignantly: "It's almost time to come back after wearing books. Is the imperial court planning to talk about batch adjustment of grain? If this continues, our war horses won't be able to eat enough!"

Grain adjustment in batches can ensure the seamless transportation of grain and grass to the front line, but in fact there are many tricks in the middle.

Before the grain transport officer was not greedy for a part of the grain and grass, the front line still suspected that there was something wrong with this batch of grain and grass.

Since they came to the border, the belts of their trousers have been tightened.

Huo Caiyu's voice did not show any emotional ups and downs. He put the military newspaper aside, stood up and walked to the side of the map: "Don't worry, the imperial court will send food and grass."

The steady tone made the expressions on the faces of the other generals in the tent much better, but some people still muttered, "Where does the regent have confidence?"

When the regent airborne to the front line, most people were not very convinced at first—the regent is probably the same as those officials in the imperial court who eat hazelnuts, why can't they embezzle No.1?Are you ashamed to come to their front line to command the battle?

A few hot-tempered generals even tried to provoke Huo Caiyu.

As a result, of course, they were severely repaired by their regent, and they could hardly get out of bed.

The regent has a violent temper and high martial arts skills. After suppressing the local bosses, he simply formed an army formation - at this time, everyone gradually saw that the regent was really capable.

Afterwards, the Cunning Kingdom launched a few assaults, and they were all beaten back by the army led by the Regent, and everyone was convinced.

I didn't expect that the capital could send some capable people!

In the end, everyone learned that the regent turned out to be the parent and son of General Huo Yi who died here in the past, and it turned out to be his own!

In addition to fearing and admiring Huo Caiyu, he was a little more kind.

Huo Caiyu quickly subdued the border army in the shortest time.

But even if they are convinced by the regent, it does not mean that they are convinced by the court.

Which of them didn't know how the imperial court treated the border troops in the past?

Huo Caiyu knew that these frontier soldiers had accumulated grievances for a long time, so he didn't explain much, but said indifferently: "Now your majesty is different from when the prime minister was in power."

Although he didn't communicate directly with His Majesty, Huo Caiyu firmly believed that His Majesty would break the so-called "Taizu's Decree" and give enough support to the border army.

"The emperor...huh." The general who spoke curled his lips and whispered dissatisfied, "It's not as good as the regent."

Huo Caiyu frowned, and before saying anything, a messenger came outside suddenly: "Your Highness, the capital is here to report."

"Bring it up."

Huo Caiyu took the short note, opened it, nodded, and looked around: "The imperial court has secretly reported that the first batch of food and grass is already on the way."

He handed the note to the quartermaster next to him, and the quartermaster checked it out, calculated in his mind for a moment, and showed joy on his face: "These grains and grass are enough for all our border troops to use for more than a month."

One month!

This is the first batch!

The following generals showed surprise: When did the imperial court stop holding them and be so generous?

There was no surprise on Huo Caiyu's face, and he said lightly: "So you are trustworthy?"

It was only after he came to the border that he discovered that the border army had a deep resentment towards the imperial court—of course, it was also reasonable given the imperial court's previous attitude towards the border army.

Knowing that these generals are stubborn, Huo Caiyu did not forcibly reverse their cognition, making facts speak louder than words.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

The quartermaster looked at the inexplicable pattern painted on the bottom of the secret report, frowned and turned around, "A box?"

"The design tool of the Imperial Palace Iron and Wood Bureau, His Majesty named it 'Three-dimensional Sand Table'. Order to make a copy according to the drawing."

The three-dimensional sand table is something he discussed with His Majesty when the prime minister just fell down.

In the past, there was a general way to simulate wars in the army, but they were all carried out on flat maps. In this era, there is no drawing method such as topographic maps, and the deduction effect is not very obvious.

Huo Caiyu happened to see that His Majesty asked Changkang to find soft and clean fine sand, the kind that glutinous rice balls are used for sand bathing.It's just that His Majesty needs a lot of weight, and can almost give the whole person a sand bath.

After being discovered by him, His Majesty said frankly that he had thought of something like a "sand table", which could be used for tactical rehearsals for the army.

Huo Caiyu listened for a while, his eyes lit up, and he pondered over many details with His Majesty, and then handed it over to the Iron and Wood Bureau for study.

Later, too many things happened. When he left the capital, his heart was in a state of turmoil, and he even forgot about it.

His Majesty also specially sent the sand table making process from thousands of miles...

Huo Caiyu pursed his lips, and quietly melted a stream of clear spring in his heart that was freezing cold in the frontier.

After dealing with military affairs, the sky is full of stars.

Huo Caiyu came out of the tent, chewing slowly with a piece of dry biscuit in his hand, his thoughts had drifted back to the capital.

Although he repeatedly warned himself not to think too much, Huo Caiyu couldn't help but think about that person far away in the capital when he was not busy.

——What is His Majesty doing now?

Can the poison be cured?Are you taking the medicine for nourishing your body on time?

He has been away from the capital for so long, are the courtiers uneasy and kind?

Your Majesty dismissed the Ministry of War's argument and sent food, did you bear any pressure?

Huo Caiyu knew that His Majesty was very powerful, even without him, he would definitely be able to lead the entire court well.

But he was still a little worried.

His Majesty is shrewd and competent in major matters, but occasionally naive and eclectic in minor matters.

It would be great if he could always be by His Majesty's side...

Thinking of this, Huo Caiyu sighed helplessly, a wry smile appeared on Ying Ting's face.

——Unfortunately, both he and His Majesty have their own responsibilities to bear.

The impulsive confession before the trip must have caused a lot of trouble to His Majesty?

What would His Majesty think?Will it shake?Will you hesitate?

Now guarding the border, the west wind is cold, the moon is black and the mountains are white, Huo Caiyu misses the warmth and tranquility by His Majesty's side more and more.

In order for His Majesty and the people to enjoy peace for a long time, someone must stand on this cold and lonely land and wield a weapon.

Huo Caiyu slowly stuffed the cold hard pancake into his mouth and took a bite, he couldn't help touching his right wrist with his left hand.

A strand of black thread on the wrist strung two black gold silk jade beads, which were hidden under the tightly bound wrist cloth.

Those are the beads on the gilt crown of His Majesty.

At first, His Majesty had secretly stuffed the jade cup into the elder sister's bag for a day, but was later placed in the back room by the family.

He once wanted to return these beads to His Majesty, but His Majesty refused.

When he came out this time, he secretly brought two of them with him.

Wearing these beads on your wrist is like holding hands with His Majesty all the time.

In the lonely border, when he is rarely free, he can only rely on them to place his thoughts on His Majesty.

……

Huo Caiyu was thinking of Li Jinyu, who was facing the huge "sand table" silently.

The glutinous rice balls were released from the small and exquisite hamster cage, and now they are rolling happily in the soft sand.

The black cat squatted on the cat climbing frame, looked at Li Jinyu and let out a sarcastic laugh.

Li Jinyu was in despair.

Taking advantage of Huo Caiyu's absence, he finally got out enough sand tubs of his current size, but he couldn't use them.

Unlike the furry hamster form, the smooth skin of the human body is not suitable for sand grinding.

Li Jinyu tried to poke a leg in, grinning in pain; after sex, he had to patiently clean the gravel embedded in his nails.

In the end, this sand tub can only be reduced to a glutinous rice ball toy.

The hamster next door is about to cry.

Why can't he turn into a hamster form?

The black cat Shi Shiran said: "If you take all Ziwei Emperor Qi from Huo Caiyu, you should be able to change forms freely."

Li Jinyu was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "I have taken all Ziwei's royal aura, so how can Huo Caiyu inherit the throne?"

The black cat looked at him inexplicably: "Don't you think Huo Caiyu still has the possibility to win the throne?"

"Why not?" Li Jinyu retorted without thinking, "Who else in the court can stop him?"

"you."

"what?"

"Do you think that Huo Caiyu's attitude towards you now will usurp the throne?" The black cat chuckled, with a trace of sarcasm and resentment in his tone, "If he still has that kind of thought, Ziwei's royal spirit will not come to you."

Li Jinyu opened his mouth, wanting to refute but couldn't find words.

In the end, he only uttered one sentence: "I believe in Father Tiandao."

Since Father Tiandao decided to make Huo Caiyu the next emperor, he would definitely not allow Huo Caiyu to act recklessly!

End of the story End of the story End of the story...

Li Jinyu tried to hypnotize himself, refusing to think about the possibility that Huo Caiyu was still firm in his heart.

The black cat curled its lips: "Just deceive yourself and others, wait for Huo Caiyu to come back, ha ha."

"Didn't you target him very much before, why suddenly speak for him now?"

"My eyes have not changed from the beginning to the end." The black cat raised its head proudly, "As long as Huo Caiyu does not ascend the throne, I can steal the fortune of the world and enjoy the glory and wealth."

It looked down at Li Jinyu, and snorted disdainfully, "If a stupid hamster like you becomes the emperor, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble, and then it will be my chance."

Li Jinyu didn't like it, so he said, "Do you know that you are so late?"

The black cat suddenly stood up as if its tail had been stepped on: "What do I have to do with him?"

"He is devoted to you."

"How can humans love it for so long? He probably already has a new cat by now!"

"Then how can you be sure that Huo Caiyu will be in love with each other?"

The black cat was completely choked.

Finally, it said harshly: "I wish you to be suppressed by that bastard Huo Caiyu for the rest of your life!"

After speaking, he jumped and disappeared.

Li Jinyu pulled back a round, happily picked up the glutinous rice balls and kneaded them, before thinking with satisfaction:

How could it be possible to be suppressed by Huo Caiyu?does not exist!

……

Without Huo Caiyu, life would be boring and boring. Li Jinyu stared at the Ministry of War every day, concerned about the situation on the front line, and before he knew it, it was late autumn.

After Changkang reminded him, he remembered that it was the harvest season of things in the palace.

The harvest is that the concubines and empresses plant peanuts and melon seeds.

According to his order half a year ago, this year's status promotion is based on this year's harvest.

The concubines have been planting, loosening the soil, watering and weeding for more than half a year, even the most delicate orchids are not so concerned, and now it is finally time to test the results.

After more than half a year, they finally saw His Majesty the Emperor again.

Li Jinyu sat at the main seat, and a row of maids came up with jade plates, each of which contained a few dry fried peanuts and melon seeds.

Li Jinyu tasted them one by one, nodding his head while eating.

The land in the palace is not bad, these peanuts and melon seeds are big and delicious.

After tasting the taste, Changkang went to count the output of each palace and courtyard next.

Yield per mu is the indicator that Li Jinyu cares most about.

Compared to when most of the concubines were unbelievable when this order was just issued half a year ago, everyone has calmly accepted this reality now.

——His Majesty really intends to measure their status by farming.

I didn't understand it at first, and I regretted selling the improved seeds and fertilizer to other concubines.

There are also some concubines who are bold and want to go to other concubines who are diligent in farming to cut off their beards after harvesting.

This Li Jinyu would not agree - buying and selling seeds and fertilizers is their own confusion, but the result of cutting off the beard is not the same.

Those concubines worked diligently for half a year to grow these fat peanuts and melon seeds!

Li Jinyu unceremoniously canceled this year's "results" for anyone who had such an intention.

According to the final evaluation results, Concubine Hui deserved to be the first in high school, followed by Concubine Wei, and then Li Jinyu whose names I don't remember.

With a swipe of his pen, Li Jinyu immediately promoted Concubine Hui and Concubine Wei to the ranks of concubines, and other good grades also received promotion rewards.

The concubine's eyes were turning red when she failed to get promoted, she secretly gritted her teeth and must work hard next time!

Telling all the concubines to retreat, Li Jinyu left Concubine Hui and Concubine Wei alone.

The other concubines reluctantly left, thinking that could it be that His Majesty saw the two concubines doing well and wished them luck?This is really cheap for them!If you are lucky enough to have a dragon species, you might be the future prince...

In fact, the purpose of Li Jinyu's two concubines is very simple: "I heard that Concubine Hui's natal family is doing business."

Concubine Hui's heart skipped a beat, and she replied cautiously: "Yes."

Her natal family is indeed in business, but they have always been cautious and never dared to act unscrupulously just because they have a daughter who is a concubine.

After all, who can tell what His Majesty's previous temperament was?Today's scenery, tomorrow might be a splendid funeral.

What does His Majesty mean by mentioning it now?

"The concubine in the harem planted so much food that I couldn't eat it all by myself, so I wondered if I could sell it." Li Jinyu looked at Concubine Hui eagerly, "Is there any way for Concubine Hui?"

Talking about this kind of topic in the resplendent palace, Concubine Hui suddenly felt that the sense of dislocation was extremely serious.

——Your Majesty is still short of this silver?

She cautiously said: "Although the concubine is ignorant, there are officials and merchants in the court..."

"Isn't it government money if the government merchants sell it? If I sell it myself, I will be myself."

Concubine Hui was speechless.

In the past, when His Majesty wasted money wantonly, he never cared whether he used the money from the internal treasury or the national treasury.

Since His Majesty asked, Concubine Hui weighed the balance in her heart, and boldly said: "If Your Majesty has the intention, my concubine can contact my father and brother on my behalf."

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Li Jinyu was overjoyed, and immediately promised, "I'll give you a dividend if I sell it!"

Concubine Hui has been at home since she was a child, and she is very familiar with the way of doing business, so she subconsciously said, "How much?"

"I think..."

Concubine Wei yawned a little when she heard it - she didn't understand these business things, but His Majesty left her behind, maybe there was something to order, so she could only cheer up and listen.

After discussing with Concubine Hui, Li Jinyu turned his attention to Concubine Wei: "Concubine Wei and Concubine Hui will be together."

Concubine Wei: "?"

"I have the highest status in the palace right now, and you are the ones who will farm, harvest, and sell the land for the concubines in the future. I will leave it to you two."

The two concubines were stunned: In the past, this was the power of the six palace assistants!

Although this power is now almost the same as that of a farm officer...

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. They have been in the palace for many years, so they naturally know the benefits of power. They looked at each other and boldly responded: "The concubine will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."

"Yeah." Li Jinyu nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly remembered something, and said something extra, "Leave enough for me to eat...the rest will be sold and sent to the regent."

In the past few days, he listened to the Ministry of War's report on the battle on the front line, and learned that the front line was still in a stage of shortage of supplies. In addition to ordering the Ministry of War and the Household Department to save and adjust food, Li Jinyu also wanted to contribute something himself.

Everything in the palace has exclusive imprints, because Qingshui County has tricked Ye Gui'an, and now the major commercial houses are strictly investigating the things leaked by the nobles and even the royal family, even if they get it to the people, they can't sell it.

But the food that has just been harvested can be exchanged for money.

Concubine Hui's heart skipped a beat again, and she instantly understood the deep meaning behind His Majesty's seemingly abnormal behavior.

——Your Majesty, is this implying that merchants donate to the front line?

Although Concubine Hui has lived in the palace for a long time, the news outside the palace is also very sensitive.

His Majesty implemented a whip method at the beginning of the year to reduce the interests of officials and businessmen, but it greatly encouraged the development of private merchants and commercial firms. Many businessmen with a keen sense of smell have already earned a lot of silver taels.

Now that Dadi is under attack, it seems that His Majesty means that it is time for merchants like them to contribute...

His Majesty's actions are indeed unusual.

Concubine Hui replied, and secretly planned to write a letter to her father and brother immediately when she went back, and she must complete the errand that His Majesty hinted.
