So without waiting for anyone to answer, he raised his head and said with a firm gaze, "For Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Tiandu. As long as Your Majesty has not completed the task of unifying the Eastern Continent, as long as I live, I am willing to remain in Tiandu and ensure that Tiandu will never become a threat to the Great Wei!"
He knew very well what a big thing he was going to do, so he would not retreat even if he was doomed.
The people around him naturally saw Chen Xuance's determination and nodded.
Grand Tutor Zhang Zhengming also came out, looked at the other party, and said with a relieved smile on his face: "This trip to Tiandu may be very difficult, but don't worry, as long as everything goes well, you will be able to return to Dawei in no time."
In his eyes, ruling the Eastern Continent is difficult to accomplish, but with His Majesty here, it can definitely be accomplished.
As for how long it would take, Zhang Zhengming estimated that it would definitely not take long.
As long as the momentum of Wei's rule does not continue.
Maybe no more than half a year.
after all.
The current Wei Dynasty is really too strong, strong in all aspects!
"Yes, Grand Tutor, everyone." Chen Xuance didn't say much, and immediately left Wenhua Hall and began to prepare.
The 10,000 people who will be stationed in Tiandu have not been fully selected yet, so there is no need to be too anxious. This will give enough time to prepare everything.
"Now that the Tiandu issue has been dealt with, the next thing to deal with is Baiyue, and then there's the Later Qin."
Watching Chen Xuance leave, Zhang Zhengming turned around and looked at everyone to discuss the next thing.
"For Baiyue, the cabinet only needs to issue a document from below."
"At the same time, have General Lu, who is guarding Zhennan Pass, personally deliver it to Baiyue King Meng Jue."
"If he truly submits to the Great Wei, he won't refuse. If not, then it's simple."
Song Gongwen smiled and continued, "Recently, trade routes have been established between the Central Plains and the Baiyue for food, cloth, wine, and so on. The Baiyue, with their abundant water resources and high mountains, are extremely dependent on these supplies. If we stop this trade, the Baiyue will definitely have a hard time, especially for food, as they are completely dependent on the Great Wei."
As the Minister of Revenue, he was naturally very clear about this aspect, so he felt that the Baiyue people did not need to be taken seriously.
Moreover, Song Gongwen had experienced the Battle of Baiyue and understood that Meng Jue had genuine admiration and respect for His Majesty.
So the other party must understand what this means. If they disagree, they will have to prepare to face the wrath of His Majesty, and this is what Meng Jue does not want.
"The Later Qin is also very simple. Let the Ministry of War send a document to Gaoyang, and then, in the name of the cabinet, request the Marquis of Guanjun to put pressure on the Later Qin."
"With the champion here, I'm sure that even if Hou Qin has other ideas, he won't dare to act rashly."
The Minister of War smiled and said, feeling that the Champion Marquis was here.
The Later Qin Dynasty didn't have to worry about anything at all.
At that time, all we need to do is listen to the victory report from the Champion Marquis.
When Zhang Zhengming and others heard this, they immediately felt that there was no problem and all nodded.
He destroyed Gaoyang in one battle and conquered the grassland in one battle. Such a champion marquis was not something that the small country of Later Qin could resist.
Therefore, these issues have been resolved for the time being.
Next, it is about collecting food and fodder across the country.
In fact, whenever the imperial court did such things over the years, it would encounter resistance and it would be very difficult to handle.
Because the local gentry controlled the fields and tenants, they would falsely report grain production in order to profit from it.
After all, the reason why the gentry had such great influence and control in the local area was that it would be very difficult for the imperial court to collect grain into the national treasury.
But it is different now. After the land tax was equalized, the power of the gentry has been greatly weakened. Also, because of the Longyang New Law, the court's control over various places has gradually strengthened.
Therefore, according to Song Gongwen's estimation, it would definitely be much easier to accomplish this task than in previous years.
But even so, he felt that he could not take it lightly, because this was an order from His Majesty himself.
Moreover, food is of great importance and no problems can occur under any circumstances.
So finally he proposed.
The cabinet must have someone to take the lead and be responsible for this matter, inspect the grain situation in various places, and then supervise local officials in collecting grain. Only in this way can we ensure that no major problems will occur.
Zhang Zhengming and others had no objection to this and felt that it was necessary.
As for the person to take the lead, it would naturally be Song Gongwen himself who would be responsible for it.
He implemented the policy of equalizing land tax in Longyang.
He already has sufficient experience, so he is the best person to take the position at this time.
Song Gongwen had no objection to this, knowing that it was a heavy burden that needed to be taken up by someone.
After all matters were roughly discussed, the cabinet ministers went to deal with them immediately without saying much.
They knew that what they were doing now was extremely important and concerned the future of the Great Wei and the entire Eastern Continent.
Time passes by bit by bit.
The resolutions made by the cabinet were also issued one by one.
First of all, Chen Xuance was going to Tiandu again. The 10,000 troops stationed there had been selected and would set off on a chosen day.
Because both the cabinet and Chen Xuance felt that the higher the level, the better.
There is also the Marquis of Shenwu.
Not long after, he left the capital with 10,000 people and headed for the western frontier.
Because the scene was not so grand, not many people in the capital knew about it. They just thought that Marquis Shenwu might have gone to train his troops.
After all, this kind of thing happens all the time.
