In the afternoon of the same day, the Empress summoned everyone in the court to discuss the matter. Everyone's reaction was even more intense and tougher than the Empress.

On the spot, someone wanted to pull Gu Zicheng up and chop off the sacrificial sky, and then send troops to Daxia.

As for how the seventh prince of Daxia died and who was killed, everyone ignored it.

Everyone has only one idea. Before I could cause trouble for you, you dare to cause trouble for me? If you want to fight, you are afraid that you will not be able to do so? Just fight to Daxia and can still rob.

The more mature and persistent Shi Qing, Kou Zhehai, just stroked his beard and kept silent.

"Old Master Da Zhi, do you have something to say?" The Empress looked at the reactions of everyone below, not beyond her expectations.

This reaction was considered a matter of course by the ancient people.

Whoever has the biggest fist is the boss? Between the two countries, justification is what the weak need to do.

"The old minister thinks that the Northern Protectorate, the Northeast Protectorate and the Southeast Protectorate, especially the Northeastern Protectorate, the old minister is afraid that Yun and Chen will also have some changes, so he should be on guard at the time.

There is also salt. I am afraid that after the war begins, the number of merchants who come from Yun and Chen countries to transport salt will be greatly reduced. Salt is probably a big problem. Life on the mountain will be even worse." Shi Qing said in a deep voice.

The empress nodded slightly after hearing this.

Salt is indeed a big problem.

After the war begins, trade routes will definitely be affected, and the amount of salt transported into Dayao will be greatly reduced.

Now it depends on how Ren Baqian went to the mountains after a while.

"Your Majesty, I want me to say that instead of being prepared, it is better to take action first and attack Yunguo directly and occupy the salt field. The salt matter will naturally be solved. If it is not good, you can also plunder it. There is no need for salt in the Yunguo city, right?" Someone immediately responded. "Qin Chuan stepped forward and spoke.

After hearing this, the empress did not say a word. There was no problem with 15,000 people blocking Yun Kingdom, but it was impossible to break through Yun Kingdom.

However, it is very likely that the success of seizing Yunguo City and plundering iron and salt is very good.

Of course, the price is also great. At that time, it will inevitably be attacked by Yun Kingdom and Daxia.

At the same time, the war between the two fronts was a bit difficult even if Da Yao was powerful.

Defensive and offense are completely different from city to city.

"How is the recruitment of recruits?" the empress asked instead.

"Your Majesty, the recruitment of new recruits has been completed, with a total of 20,000 people. It has just entered the camp. The training of new recruits has just begun, and it will take at least half a year. However, the weapons and equipment are probably insufficient, and mice can run away in the military warehouse. The last few supplies were transported to the Northern Protectorate two months ago."

The empress nodded: "Train with a wooden knife first."

Then he asked Xiang Fenghu about the construction of the ordnance.

Feng Du was very happy when talking about this. Now Damoshan produces nearly 10,000 kilograms of iron every day, and now it has produced a total of 600,000 kilograms of iron in less than three months, and can create 30,000 weapons.

Nowadays, the iron ingots sent to Jingtian Furnace are piled up like mountains every half a month. However, at this time, the construction of weapons is all about repeatedly pounding and pounding out the impurities in it, and then adding animal blood to change the composition of the growth knife to make it have certain alloy characteristics. The good teacher can only create three standard long swords a day.

Jingtian Lu had more than 20 good teachers, plus some ordinary craftsmen, and they could only send only 100 weapons a day.

There are now about 3,000 standard long knives piled up in Jingtian furnace.

This quantity has already made Feng Lao overjoyed.

After he said this, everyone was also surprised. They didn't expect that they had built so many weapons in the past two months.

Then everyone looked happy.

At this speed, in just over two months, you can first equip ten thousand troops.

You should know that the ancient clan had only a total of 90,000 troops before.

With the combat power of the ancient clan, ten thousand warriors can be used as the 100,000 troops of the other Three Kingdoms.

The empress nodded: "Can it be faster?"

Fenghu thought for a while and said, "You can get up to 150 handfuls a day."

In this way, 4,500 long swords can be created every month, and everyone in the court looked satisfied.

However, the empress still felt that it was a bit deficient.

Although she didn't say anything about Qin Chuan just now, she really made her feel a little moved.

Da Yao lacks too many things.

Especially as Ren Baqian stayed on Earth for so long, he felt that Dayao was short of various resources. Especially to develop to Earth, it not only requires knowledge, but also various resources.

Not only salt, but also iron, copper, and various metal resources.

and a lot of manpower and material resources.

She wants to build a new city, but what should I do if I don’t have money? She wants to build a road, but what should I do if I don’t have money? The inner treasury of the palace is empty, and Ren Baqian’s cultivation can last for more than a month. What should I do if I don’t have money?

Ren Baqian also thought about the same problem, but Ren Baqian thought about it through commercial means.

The empress's idea is more direct.

Rob!

No one? The army of the Yun Kingdom, Daxia, and those civilians, are all human beings! Ren Baqian mentioned it while chatting, and it would be best to build roads as coolies.

Although the empress did not speak at the time, she wrote down the matter.

Don’t have money? If you conquer the Yun Kingdom, you will have money.

To conquer the Yun Kingdom, and not to grab one and run away like before, but to occupy the Yun Kingdom as the whole thing.

As for how to manage it after the battle, it will be the future.

Isn’t there Ren Baqian?

Let him find a way.

Their country has more than fifty ethnic groups, and he knows what to do.

However, if you want to defeat Yun Kingdom, the current army is definitely not enough. Adding 20,000 is not enough.

The empress was slightly distracted on the Golden Luan for a while, and Tong Zhenye took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, the head of Ren's mansion may have a way to deal with weapons. The head of Ren once said that there is something that can turn iron into steel, and it does not require repeated forging, and can directly make weapons..."

Tong Zhenye said that the empress's thinking was brought back.

"I understand, I will ask him later." The empress said, and was silent for a moment, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Seeing the empress's expression, everyone kept silent and waited for the empress to speak.

"How many troops do you think you need to conquer Yun Kingdom and incorporate Yun Kingdom into my Da Yao?" the empress said.

The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly solidified.

Everyone did not expect that His Majesty would say such words at this time, but they even said it seriously.

Your Majesty, are you serious?

"Your Majesty, you need to add another 60,000 troops to the 20,000 new recruits." Qin Chuan immediately said loudly. From his reaction speed, he knew that he had this idea for a day or two. Otherwise, he would have to make a few fingers.

"I have long thought that Yun Kingdom has a total of 400,000 troops. If they fight, they will continue to recruit troops. With Yun Kingdom's strength, it should be able to reach 700,000 or even more. At least 60,000 troops can be fought until the East China Sea to capture Yun Kingdom. After invading Yun Kingdom, Daxia and Chen Kingdom will not sit idly by, and the lengthening of the troops line is vulnerable to attacks from all sides. At least 20,000 troops are needed..."

If you are busy and you are bound to the territory of Yun Kingdom, the matter involved is not a little bit.

"Be prepared to recruit another 20,000 new recruits!" the empress spoke.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan immediately looked excited.

"Your Majesty... If you recruit another 20,000 new recruits, you may not be able to provide food and military pay. Now these 20,000 new recruits are the maximum limit." Tu Wan, the Minister of Revenue, immediately stepped forward.

The empress pressed her index finger against her chin: "Military pay, in Yun Kingdom, waiting for my great-yao warriors to get it. As for the food..."

...

In the afternoon of that day, the palace discussion was until evening. When the empress told Ren Baqian some of the discussions while having a meal, Ren Baqian was stunned.

What's the situation? I was preparing to deal with the Daxia attack before, so why did I attack Yun Kingdom again?

And so many people in the court were discussing it enthusiastically for an afternoon?

And it's basically passed?

How willful are you? How clear are your brain circuits?

After a long time, Ren Baqian asked with a look of laughter and crying: "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

The empress wiped her mouth and looked up to roll her eyes, "Dayao lacks iron. Even if the Damoshan iron ore now produces nearly 10,000 kilograms per day, it is still very short of it according to your words. Especially to develop into your world, the resources needed are not enough even if the Damoshan iron ore is hollowed out.

Dayao is short of iron, and there are many iron ore in Yunguo.

Dayao is short of money, and Yunguo also has a lot.

Da Yao lacks craftsmen, and there are many Yun Kingdom.

Da Yao lacks labor, and the Yun Kingdom is everywhere.

We have everything we want, so why not fight it?

As for the strength of the troops, there are countless warriors in the 60,000 mountains, and all they lack is other things.

So what we need to consider now is the problem of insufficient weapons and insufficient food. Then you will be responsible for thinking about how to make the people of Yun honest. What other problems are there?"

Ren Baqian:...

Your Majesty, you have evolved from buying and buying to grab and grab.

I used to feel that war is far away from me, even though I knew that Daxia might not come at any time. However, while the development of this day caught Ren Baqian off guard, he also found that war was far away for this world.

There is also Da Yao that is not as labor-deficient as His Majesty, you think. There are more than 10 million people in the South who are living in the elderly.

"Your Majesty, why isn't Chen State? Chen State is located in the south of Yun State, and is located in a corner, only adjacent Yun State. It seems that the Yun State of Chen State is more suitable than the Yun State of the neighboring Daxia." Ren Baqian said curiously.

"There are not as many resources as the Yun Kingdom, and the Chen Kingdom has too many waterways, and there are rivers everywhere. As long as they break the bridge in many places, we will be delayed for a long time. Even if we occupy it, we will have more troubles, and it is not as smooth as the Yun Kingdom."

Ren Baqian then realized it, then gave a thumbs up and praised the empress, "Your Majesty is indeed thoughtful. When others were still thinking about Daxia, Your Majesty had already thought about poetry and the distance, and had made plans for the future, so that Dayao's progress will speed up again and again, laying a deep foundation for the rapid entry of the technological era. It is really beyond the reach of people..."

The empress nodded with approval.
