"If that's the case, it's fine to talk about the matter at hand." Hu Yin became more serious. "But I have one thing to say... Although the government is away from Tokyo all year round, and the country's orders are actually issued by the two gates all year round, the two prefectures and six ministries in Tokyo are still officials of the government after all, and there is absolutely no distinction between insiders and outsiders... Today's military operations have not stopped, but it is also obvious that the world is stable. At this time, the government should also comfort the officials in Tokyo to calm people's hearts."
Zhao Jiu finally smiled again: "Mingzhong is worrying too much."
"I didn't worry too much this time." Hu Yin was unusually serious. "The mountains and rivers will be restored, the old shame will be wiped out, and the ten years of hard work will be completed. This is a great thing, and it is what I have always wished for. I heard about the great victory in Huolu on the way, and cried while hugging the quilt at night. I sat up and laughed and lost my composure... At that time, I realized what it meant to "read poems and books with joy and desire"... But when I arrived at the Huolu battlefield, I calmed down. Your Majesty, the world is not only about avenging shame. The chaotic times will be settled, and the peaceful times will come. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Have you ever thought about how to deal with things and appoint people in the future when there is peace?"
Zhao Jiu nodded and continued to ask with a smile: "Anything else you want to say?"
"Yes." Hu Yin was still serious. "No matter how great the victory, Hebei is inevitably devastated. After the government appeases the people for spring farming, how will it restore production in the two rivers? There are also military matters. It should not be difficult to advance to Yanyun, but the Jin Kingdom still has a foundation outside the Great Wall. If it goes on an expedition, how can it balance the internal and external affairs and prevent Hebei from being dragged down by the military? Do you expect that if the Eastern Mongols advance to Zhongjing Road, they can force the Jurchens into a desperate situation, and then follow the government's strategy of alienation and kill each other?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jiu and Lu Yihao, who had been silent, looked at each other instinctively, and then the official still smiled and said: "I have thought about what you said, and I can give you an explanation."
Hu Yin remained calm.
"You don't have to worry about Tokyo, because even if the world is at peace, I am prepared to continue to maintain the status quo and authorize the two governments, six ministries and the secret cabinet to govern the country on my behalf." Zhao Jiu responded calmly.
"What do the government do?" Hu Mingzhong was still serious. "Do we have to raise fish for ten years and plant mulberry trees for ten years?"
"That's exactly the answer to your other question." Zhao Jiu responded with ease. "I have made up my mind to go to Hebei every year during the slack season to personally supervise the management of the Yellow River... We will use as much effort as we have. If it takes three years, then it will take three years; if it takes five years, then it will take five years; if it takes ten years, then it will take ten years... For other matters, I don't have the ability, so don't come to me."
Hu Yin was stunned for a moment, then silent for a while. He was even a little flustered... He did not expect this answer.
"As for the Jin Kingdom," Zhao Jiu remained calm. "I don't expect that Eastern Mongolia can do anything. Since Mingzhong is here, why don't you wait with me for a few more days? We can explore the land and water while waiting for news... Calculating the days, plus their attention to this place, we should get the news and take action."
Hu Yin suppressed all the confusion in his mind, tried hard to think, and suddenly realized it. Then he praised sincerely: "The emperor has a keen insight, and his strategy is really brilliant!"
Zhao Jiu accepted it calmly, then raised his glass to signal his attendants, causing Han Shizhong and others who were confused to respond hastily.
