Yun Zheng took Ye Zi out of the mansion.
The two of them were walking on the street wearing mink cloaks.
Gao He and his friends were very tactful and just followed from a distance.
The weather in Shuobei is very cold.
There is not much farm work to do at this time of year.
Most of the common people stay at home during the winter.
The shops on the street were open sparsely, and there were almost no customers.
Looking up, I saw a desolate and bleak scene everywhere.
"Tell me, how many troops can be supported by Shuofang alone?"
Yun Zheng suddenly asked Ye Zi.
...
...
"this……"
Ye Zi thought about it and replied, "At most there are about 30,000 to 50,000 people! However, we can only consider them as being fed, not whether they eat well or not."
Yun Zheng shook his head slightly, "I estimate that 30,000 people is the maximum."
The land inside the Great Wall is usually planted with wheat in winter.
But the land in Shuobei is not suitable for farming in winter.
The temperature in Shuobei often drops sharply, sometimes it can drop by 20 degrees overnight!
Even a cold-resistant crop like wheat cannot withstand such extreme temperature drops, so spring wheat is generally planted in Shuobei.
The land in Shuobei is empty for nearly five months a year.
Under such circumstances, it would be the best that the entire Shuofang could do to support 30,000 standing troops.
"Are you worried that His Majesty will cut off the army's supplies sooner or later?"
Ye Zi understood Yun Zheng’s worries.
"It's inevitable!"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly and said with a wry smile: "Once I have my own army and my father doesn't stop supplying me, will he still send me money and food?"
Ye Zi smiled and said, "So, you think that one Shuofang is not enough? Are you starting to plot against other cities?"
"How else can you say you are smart?"
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "Which city do you think I should target?"
"It should be Suqu, right?"
Ye Zi said: "Besides Suqu, Moyang and Tianhu, which other city can you plot against? But Moyang and Tianhu are too far away from Shuofang, only Suqu is a little more reliable."
"Um."
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, "I actually wanted to plot against Mo Yang, but it's really too far away..."
There is no other reason, it is just because Moyang has the largest Moyang Horse Farm.
"But how are you going to get Suqu?"
Ye Zi frowned and said, "Your Majesty would never allow you to supervise two cities alone, right?"
"Certainly not."
Yun Zheng nodded gently, "It is easy to get Su Qu, but the problem is how to do it legitimately and without causing dissatisfaction from my father. This is the most important thing!"
Ye Zi tilted her head and thought about it, then shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Anyway, I can't think of it, you can think about it slowly!"
Yun Zheng looked at Ye Zi from the side and said unhappily, "Why don't you share your husband's worries?"
"Pooh!"
Ye Zi spat lightly, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!"
This bastard!
He was talking about serious matters with a worried look on his face one moment, and became completely unserious the next.
Even though I haven't seen him, I'm always thinking about him.
When I saw it, I wanted to take off my shoes and slap this bastard in the face!
This bastard is so annoying!
“That’s right!”
Yun Zheng laughed and asked, "Are your hands cold?"
Ye Zi knew what he was thinking, so she immediately said, "It's not cold."
“But my hands are cold!”
Yun Zheng grabbed Ye Zi's hand.
"You...you let me go!"
Ye Zi was flustered and tried hard to shake off Yun Zheng's hand.
But Yun Zheng held her hand tightly.
Ye Zi became even more panicked and quickly turned back to look at Gao He and the others.
But when she turned around, she found that Gao He and the others were all looking up at the sky, as if fairies had fallen from the sky.
Looking at the looks of these people, Ye Zi felt both angry and amused.
They are all more sensible than the other!
I guess that bastard Yun Zheng had already greeted them a long time ago.
In fact, she had misunderstood Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng really hadn't said hello to Gao He and the others.
However, Gao He and the others have been with Yun Zheng for a long time, and as long as they are not blind, they can see Yun Zheng's little thoughts about Ye Zi.
They all know that they shouldn't look at things.
"Sooner or later I'm going to be shamed into committing suicide by this bastard!"
Ye Zi turned her head and glared at Yun Zheng in shame and anger, but the strength of her struggle was much weaker.
"How can I bear to do that!"
Yun Zheng laughed and pulled Ye Zi's hand forward while talking to her about their predicament.
He only talked about these things with Ye Zi.
Neither Chen Luoyan nor Miaoyin are suited to managing internal affairs.
Now, they have initially gained a foothold.
Next, the most worrying thing is the supply issue.
There are still nine months until the next crop harvest!
He had money, but he was afraid that they wouldn't even be able to buy food.
If you want to enter the pass to buy food, you must chew the hard bone of Beilu Pass.
The more Ye Zi listened, the more nervous she felt.
She had never thought about these difficulties before.
If Yun Zheng hadn't told her, she wouldn't have realized it at all.
"If all else fails, we can only threaten the emperor!"
Ye Zi sighed helplessly.
Yun Zheng turned his head and looked at her. "You want to say that if the emperor cuts off our supplies, we will threaten him with rebellion, right?"
"Um."
Ye Zi nodded gently, "Beihuan is still unsettled, and His Majesty certainly does not want to see a great internal strife, which will only benefit Beihuan! However, if that happens, you will be branded as a traitor..."
"I'm not afraid of being criticized."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "I'm afraid that when we fight Beihuan to the death, some people will stab us in the back, causing us to be on guard against Beihuan and our own people at the same time."
"this……"
Ye Zi choked slightly.
Yun Zheng’s worries are very likely.
It can even be said to be inevitable!
Who wouldn't be willing to drive a tiger to devour a wolf?
The more Yun Zheng thought about it, the more worried he became. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not think about this for now! I'd better take down Su Qu first!"
"Capture Suqu?"
Ye Zi was surprised, "Are you really going to take action against Su Qu?"
"I'm not just going to attack Suqu!" Yun Zheng laughed, "I'm also planning to attack Beihuan! Let Beihuan send us some more war horses!"
"ah?"
Ye Zi was stunned, and then asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"
Yun Zheng chuckled and said, "If this plan succeeds, Bambu will definitely vomit blood!"
Ye Zi became even more curious and asked quickly, "What is the plan?"
"Kiss me and I'll tell you!"
Yun Zheng looked at Ye Zi with a sly smile.
"you……"
Ye Zi was so embarrassed and angry that she tried hard to shake off Yun Zheng's hand.
"No one saw it!"
Yun Zheng blinked, "Believe me, you will never regret it now that you know this plan!"
"I don't want to!"
Ye Zi said angrily: "Anyway, I'm not going to fight with you!"
"Then let me kiss you and I will tell you!" Yun Zheng said shamelessly.
"roll!"
Ye Zi turned her face away in shame and anger.
"Hey, why are you doing this?"
Yun Zheng laughed frivolously and said, "It's not like I haven't kissed you before, what's the difference between once and twice!"
"roll!"
Yun Zheng was unwilling to give in and continued to persuade: "If you are not satisfied with this plan, I will behave myself from now on!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zi suddenly hesitated.
After thinking for a while, Ye Zi made up his mind.
Anyway, he has kissed me!
Let alone kissing, he even saw my body!
One more kiss, nothing.
She was now indeed very curious about the plan that Yun Zheng had mentioned.
Ye Zi's pretty face turned red, she closed her eyes shyly, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Then... then hurry up!"
