Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 164 Liu Yu's Difficulties

Everyone checked the drafted document several times, and after confirming that it was correct, it was finally handed over to Liu Yizhen for him to report to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu also attaches great importance to this reform of official positions, especially the responsibilities of the Sixth Ministry.

The current central system is a political system that has been proven to be feasible by later generations. In addition, it has been revised with the top civil servants. Liu Yizhen can give appropriate answers to Liu Yu's inquiries.

In the end, Liu Yu was finally convinced by the system of the three provinces and six departments, and immediately decided that the three senior officials, Liu Yizhen, Xu Xianzhi, and Xie Hui, would make full efforts to adjust the departments of the center.

As for the reform of the forbidden army, Liu Yu has different opinions.

"Che Shi thinks, is there any possibility of implementing the "fubing" system in Jiankang?"

Several big question marks popped up in Liu Yizhen's mind.

"Why did the emperor suddenly have such an idea?"

The current Central Army, that is, the Beifu Army in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, are all veterans who have followed Liu Yu in the Southern and Northern Wars for decades, and their combat power is amazing.

The essence of the Fubing system is to solve the problem of the source of troops, but now the Central Army is all elites who have experienced many battles, and it is somewhat wasteful to let them serve as Fubing.

Liu Yu showed embarrassment: "It has been almost two years since my father withdrew from Guanzhong. Nearly [-] troops have been stationed in Jiankang for two years. The daily consumption of these troops is astronomical. My father wants to try to be able to They cannot be allowed to farm by themselves to reduce the financial pressure on the imperial court."

Before that, Liu Yu never thought that he would have a headache because of too many soldiers.

That's because Liu Yu fought wars almost every year in the ten years before the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong.

With the support of war dividends, Liu Yu can fight for ten years, but Liu Yu's pro-army has not moved since the end of the Guanzhong War. These soldiers were sharp weapons in wartime, but now they are the burden of the court in peacetime.

Especially after Liu Muzhi's death, there was no one who could coordinate the overall situation, and the central finance went from bad to worse, which even gave Liu Yu a plan called "fubing", which was actually a plan to "garrison the land".

"So that's the case, but father..."

Of course Liu Yu knew what Liu Yi really meant.

"Of course I want to continue the Northern Expedition, but the Northern Expedition must be well prepared before it can be carried out, and it cannot be rushed. Otherwise, the success will fall short, and there will be no redemption."

Liu Yu has fought for more than 20 years and is basically invincible in the world. This is inseparable from Liu Yu's excellent military quality.

There are two parts to military literacy, one is adaptability on the battlefield, and one can plan what to do at each step in an ever-changing battle situation.

Another part is logistics.

In wars, especially in large-scale battles involving countries, food and logistics are the key.

In fact, Liu Yu had been preparing for the Northern Expedition very early, and it was precisely because of this that his finances became more and more precarious.

"Father, you can't let the army in the central government go to farm unless it's absolutely necessary."

Wang Ye is not partial.

Once the soldiers are free to go to the fields, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be attracted by the stable pastoral life.

To put it bluntly, the group of elite soldiers following Liu Yu now breathe a sigh of relief.

In this tone, they are invincible divisions who are invincible in all battles.

If the qi dissipates, although it is still elite, it will still lose some flavor.

Can Liu Yu not understand this truth?

But he is not a general now, but the emperor, the son of heaven.

What he has to consider is no longer soldiers, but the world.

"Father, let me try."

In fact, Liu Yu's question can be summed up in two words...

No money.

The military is strong but the culture and economy are weak. This is a common problem in the early establishment of dynasties in all dynasties.

The difference is that some dynasties have survived and achieved a prosperous age.

Such as Qiang Han and Li Tang.

There are also some dynasties that have not survived, and they will cut off their own arms.

For example, Zhao Song.

There is also Daming, who could have achieved prosperity but was destroyed by a war god.

It is not difficult to solve this problem.

That is to hang on first, to recuperate.

It took two generations of Emperor Wen Wen and Emperor Han Jing of the first Han Dynasty to let Liu Che let go of the fight.

Li Tang, hurry up, after the alliance of Weishui swallowed his anger for a while, he hammered the Turks to death.

Zhu Ming had Hongwu before him, and Renxuan later. He already had enough foundation, but he was lame for some reason...

But Liu Yu seems to have no time now.

Liu Yu's obsession with the Northern Expedition was almost overflowing. If the preparations had not been completed, Liu Yizhen suspected that Liu Yu would dare to go to the Northern Expedition the next day after proclaiming himself emperor.

Liu Yu widened his eyes when he heard that Liu Yizhen took the initiative to invite Ying: "Cheshi, do you have a solution?"

"Let me try."

Wealth must be accumulated, and it is really impossible for Liu Yi to suddenly take out a pile of money.

At this time, Liu Yu suggested: "Actually, some ministers said that they can make five baht coins if they want to know the citizens' copper."

"No!"

It seems that the person who raised this question does not understand economics.

He actually proposed to buy all the copper of the common people and mint five baht coins?

Currency is not wealth, so if you do it like this, the entire Liu Song economic system will be messed up.

Liu Yizhen immediately explained to Liu Yu the dangers of doing so as simply as possible, but Liu Yu was still confused.

Liu Yu's war can be said to be against the sky, but in terms of culture... don't mention it.

"Since Che Shi also refused like Fan Tai, then this proposal is void."

Liu Yi's heart was moved: "Father is talking about Fan Tai, the former Minister of the Branch?"

"Yes."

Liu Yu thought that Liu Yizhen didn't know Fan Tai, so he helped Liu Yizhen introduce him: "Fan Tai is a talented person but not wise enough, but he is proficient in financial matters."

Fan Tai was also the father of Fan Ye, the author of the later "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", and it is normal for Liu Yu to regard him as "talented".

However, his level of government affairs was a bit pitiful, so he did not preside over government affairs, but was appointed by Liu Yu as Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, and he was appointed as a regular servant of Sanqi.

"Father, can you lend me Fan Tai?"

Fan Tai's poor level of government affairs does not mean that he has poor vision.

In this day and age, there are not many people who are willing to delve into food and goods, and Fan Tai should be counted as one.If Liu Yi really puts his hands on finances, it would be nice to have such a support.

"Good boy, I just borrowed Gao Yun from you, and you are going to pull Fan Tai over."

"If you really use him, use it."

Although he also loves Fan Tai and Liu Yu, it's only because of his talent, so he won't hold it tightly in his hands.

"Father, let me try. I estimate that I will have to check the treasury income thoroughly these days, so that I can prescribe the right medicine."

"If some big rats are found among them..."

"I also hope that the emperor doesn't mind."

Once you check the finances, you can always find out the problem. Now Liu Yizhen wants to ask Liu Yu to wipe his ass behind.

"Cheshi, don't worry, just go."

Liu Yu knew that when it came to finances, the most intuitive thing linked to interests, he would be unbelievably disgusting, and he was prepared in his heart.
