They are very unsuitable for all the food and water and soil, if the war continues to be delayed.

Then even if they don't fight, they will inevitably be trapped here.

So when he thought of this, Chen Qingzhi immediately said to one of his subordinates.

"Go ahead and inquire about it. Our current military rations are also insufficient. Let's see if we can collect some military rations for military use."

The general under his command heard what Chen Qingzhi said, and immediately went to make arrangements.

At the same time in Luoyang City, Yuan Xi looked at Jia Xu who was standing in front of him and asked.

"23 There are some things that cannot be said in the morning, but must be said in private. 99

When Jia Xu heard Yuan Xi say this, he smiled slightly and said casually.

"Your Majesty, there are some things that still cannot be said on the bright side. I saw it at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the world was just unified, and the lord is going to expedition to foreign lands.

"This is not compatible with the art of war, so I did not express my thoughts in the early dynasties. Since ancient times, fighting has cost the most money.35

"And our current treasury reserves are also stretched, and there is a good plan in the evening, which requires His Majesty's permission.

Yuan Xi was also interested when he heard Jia Xu's words, and he also knew that Jia Xu's scheming was somewhat poisonous.

But what Jia Xu said was not false. It was true that the Ming Dynasty had just been unified, and it was indeed inconvenient to carry out large-scale battles.

Moreover, in the treasury, there is indeed not much silver, and it is temporarily unable to support a wider range of battles.

Moreover, the current issue of money and food really made Yuan Xi very distressed. Now that he heard Jia Xu say this, he immediately asked.

"What are the good strategies, let's hear it, now our biggest problem, if you say it, is the problem of food and grass.

"And the cost of the expedition is even greater. I am also worried about this during these days."

When Jia Xu heard Yuan Xi say this, he no longer hesitated and said immediately.

"Your Majesty takes all the money and food from the people and uses them for the people. Our final result is also to benefit the people of the world."

"Among the people in the world, most of them are poor, so I propose to exempt the tax from the poor and increase the tax on the merchants."

"And where the war was fought, all the money and food that were seized were used to build up armaments locally, so that our treasury could not be spent."5

Yuan Xi nodded after hearing this. Although this method is good, it is difficult to implement.

Because although there are many poor people and few rich people in this world, the rich people are not very easy to manage.

If the tax of the poor is exempted and the tax of the rich is increased, although the people's hearts and minds will be won, the business will also be lost.

Moreover, the main source of income for Daming now is these wealthy businessmen. If they rashly increase taxes, 377 may be detrimental to the country.

So when Yuan Xi thought of this, he said to Jia Xu.

"Although this can gain the hearts and minds of the poor, it will affect development, damage our country's economy, and be detrimental to the country.

When Jia Xu heard Yuan Xi say this, he also nodded.

Because doing so will indeed make those who are engaged in business, complain, and thus lead to the instability of the country's business.

Especially now in this feudal society, this will also touch the interests of some royal dignitaries.

So when he thought of this, Jia Xu opened his mouth and said.

"Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there is one person who can do this well, and if this person does it, he will be sure to be safe.
