Chapter 518 It's over before it even started(1/2)

Jinling, inner city.

The Jinyiwei Yamen is coming and going, and it is very busy.

When Daxia sent troops north, the Jinyiwei naturally had to take action.

In the lobby of the General Office, Li Yan was wearing a purple brocade robe and was handling official duties on the table.

"Cai Xu has arrived in Jingzhou?"

When Li Yan saw the news, he immediately called his subordinates to instruct: "Notify the Jinyiwei in Jingzhou and Yangzhou. If you meet Cai Xu and others, be sure to protect them with all your strength, try to meet their requirements, and report their location at any time."

"yes!"

The subordinates took the order and left.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door again.

"Sir, please see the commander!"

The person who came bowed and said respectfully.

"What's the matter?"

Li Yan was reading a piece of information about the North battlefield, frowned slightly and said without raising his head.

"Mingwu Army sent two people back from the front line, and suspected that one of the women had special talents and had been treated in the medical department."

The subordinate immediately reported: "At the same time, he also sent an invitation letter to Yunmeng Academy, hoping that someone would come to test the woman's physical condition."

"Special physique?"

Li Yan looked up at the other party, "Do you have any specific secret letter?"

"Yes! My subordinates have brought it."

“Support it!”

"yes!"

The subordinate submitted a secret letter. After reading it, Li Yan said calmly: "I already know this. You have done a good job, so go ahead."

"yes!"

The subordinate was happy and hurriedly gave up respectfully.

The lobby soon returned to quiet again, and Li Yan sat on the Grand Master's chair and fell into thought.

"Yunmeng Academy was established by His Majesty himself, and any person who enters needs to report it."

"But the woman has not confirmed her qualifications yet, so she is not in a hurry."

He pondered for a moment, and put the matter aside for the time being, just instructing his subordinates to pay more attention.

Soon, Li Yan continued to handle official duties.

Imperial Palace, Palace of Peaceful Heart.

Li Yu was wearing a yellow robe and sat on the dragon chaise in the hall.

Below him, Song Yuan bowed and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the first batch of Yaozhan sent by Qishi Mansion has arrived. The Ministry of Works intends to use it in the Forbidden City first. What do you think?"

Li Yu raised his eyes and said a little confused, "The last time I heard that Yaozhan was half a month ago. Because the yield rate was too low, it was too late to mass production. Is the problem solved now?"

"Your Majesty has a brilliant memory. The Yaozhan did not meet the mass production requirements half a month ago!"

Song Yuan had a short beard on his chin, and his smile seemed very elegant and gentle.

"In half a month, although Qishifu has improved the yield rate a little, it is still a little bit. These first batch of Yaozhans are the ones that have succeeded, and there are not many."

Li Yu heard the other party’s meaning and chuckled: “There are not many, so it can’t be spread throughout the city. No wonder it is used in my palace first.”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Song Yuan was not embarrassed, his smile remained unchanged, and he praised without any burden.

Seeing that the other party was too thick-faced, Li Yu nodded and said, "I agree to this matter. When will the Ministry of Works start construction?"

Song Yuan bowed and said, "The Ministry of Works has prepared it and can start construction at any time. It's just a newly designed Yaozhang, and a lamp holder needs to be built."

"They will make ground in the Forbidden City, and the candidates designated by His Majesty need to be supervised and cooperated."

Li Yu nodded slightly and said, "There is no problem with this matter. I will send Chu Xian to be responsible."

"But I remember that I could not control the lights when I saw Yaozhan last time. Does Qishi Mansion have a solution now?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yuan immediately submitted a memorial and said respectfully: "I can't report it. According to the ideas you provided, there are two ways to solve this matter."

Li Yu opened the memorial and the solution was recorded on it. Song Yuan's calm voice sounded immediately below.

"The first method is to use the magic device remote remote control switch. Just use the magic device to light up at different times and make different magic devices separately to realize remote remote control in batches."

"The second method is to build a line to control Yaozhan and perform switch control. After three discussions by Qishi Mansion, the Ministry of Works, and the cabinet, it was finally decided to use a large-scale national Yaozhan to use remote control of magic tools."

"People's forces and individuals adopt remote control of the line. The former can facilitate the court's management and maintenance of Yaozhan, while the latter can reduce the cost of Yaozhan and attract private purchases."

After Song Yuan finished speaking, Li Yu had already finished reading it.

He was not surprised by these two methods, but he could also feel the seriousness of the people below.

"Both methods are very reasonable. I have no objection, so I will follow yours."

After the discussion about Yaozhan ended, Li Yu looked at him, and Liu Jin next to him immediately recalled, and asked the servant below to change the tea.

Li Yu signaled Song Yuan to sit down, picked up the warm tea and tasted it gently, moistening his throat.

"Besides this, Song Qing, you should have other things."

Although the construction of a Yaozhan is important, it will not be the chief minister of the Labor Cabinet.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and I really admire you!"

Song Yuan spoke with a rainbow fart, which made Li Yu not know what to respond.

Fortunately, the other party's next sentence went straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, the east and west armies have entered the hinterlands of Yong, Ji and Henan, and have pulled the logistics line too long."

Song Yuan said with a serious expression: "It's only half a month before the October winter. It takes time for officials sent to the north to gather the people and mobilize grain and carbon. If we continue to go north, it will be difficult for us to arrange everything before the winter begins."

"I believe that the army is no longer suitable for continuing north at the moment, so I suggest that Your Majesty temporarily cease the war and let the army camp on the spot. First, it can protect the people and officials in the north, and second, it can launch the northern attack as soon as possible in early spring next year."

After listening carefully, Li Yu suddenly showed a smile on his face, "I understand Song Qing's meaning, but I have prepared for this matter, and the army will stop attacking on September 15th."

"The troops from both east and west are stationed on the border, responsible for protecting the established cities and clearing out the remaining demons and alien races."

"What the cabinet needs to do is to mobilize grain and clothing to go north. Urge the officials going north to appease the surviving local people and build a good camp before winter."

After hearing this, Song Yuan looked slightly stunned and said helplessly: "Since Your Majesty has made a decision, I will feel relieved."

"I just ask Your Majesty that if you have any arrangements in the future, you can just wait for me to make me prepare."

Li Yu heard this and said in a slight silence: "I thought this matter was responsible to the military, so I did not tell Song Qing you."

"But judging from today's events, the cabinet should still have the right to know. In the future, I will inform the cabinet of any major military affairs involving the state."

Although Daxia has not yet officially implemented military and political separation, Li Yu has been secretly subtly moving.

It can be seen from the fact that the cabinet cannot interfere in military construction, the military is responsible for recruiting soldiers, and the Ministry of War can only supervise and lead the military power.

Li Yu did not consider what happened today.

He will not make this mistake again in the future.

However, the policy of separation of military and political affairs will never change because of this matter.

Song Yuan also heard what Li Yu said. Although he felt a little regretful about this, he was not surprised.

"I thank Your Majesty for your understanding, if there is no other decree."

Song Yuan stood up and bowed to Li Yu, "I still have official duties, so I will take my leave first."

"Um."

Song Yuan left the Yangxin Palace and, under the guidance of the eunuch, came to a small palace in the vestibule.

This is the daily office space of the cabinet.

Song Yuan entered the lobby and turned left naturally through the screen.

In the hall behind the screen, several people were still sitting.

The three auxiliary ministers of the cabinet were Guo Yunyang, Gu Yuan and Zheng Yuanxiao, and Song Yuanxiao, and all four major ministers of the cabinet were present.

"Mr. Song, I'm back!"

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged on the cushion, with tea, pastries and fruits in front of him, but the basic memorial was missing.

His position was opposite the screen and he was the first to see Song Yuan return.

Seeing this, the few people stood up to greet each other, and then sat down again.

"What does Your Majesty say?"
