Early in the morning, Lin Ye helped Lao Chen load all the salutes into the car, while Zinai stood aside obediently and waited for Lin Ye to finish his work.

Of course she wanted to help, but Lin Ye said that she was a girl and men should do the hard work.

Zina thought to herself, my brother's statement is really fresh.

After Lin Ye finished loading the car, he ordered his soldiers to carefully escort him along the way. Zinai said it was okay, let them all go back, I can do it alone.

Lin Ye just put Zinai's shoulder on her carriage, and patted her head gently: "Write a letter to me after you arrive in Yunzhou, take good care of Uncle Chen, and go to Yunzhou when I'm ready for the Northern Expedition.

I'm in the state, give Uncle Chen a ration every day, and go home to rest after selling out. If there's anything left...you can eat it..."

Zinai nodded vigorously.

Her big eyes seemed to be full of stars, they were extraordinarily bright and dazzling.

"I left a flying bird in Yunzhou. I have sent people to repair it. It should be repaired by now. If you want to come back, just come by flying bird."

Lin Ye said: "You are not allowed to take Uncle Chen with you, he is too old."

Zinai nodded vigorously: "Understood!"

"okay."

Lin Ye looked at the group of soldiers under his command and said: "Be careful on the road, don't go too hastily."

The soldiers stood up and saluted.

Zinai sat on the carriage and kept waving to Lin Ye again and again. Lin Ye also kept waving until the carriage was out of sight before turning back.

First I went back home, and then went to Zhenyuan Palace.

The Supreme Saint was playing chess alone. When Lin Ye came in, he didn't even raise his head.

"His Majesty."

Lin Ye leaned over.

The Supreme Sage stared at the chess game and raised his hand to point casually to the side, and Lin Ye walked over there and sat down to wait.

After the Supreme Saint settled his son, he looked at Lin Ye and asked: "Send the person away?"

Lin Ye nodded: "Yes, I sent someone to Yunzhou early this morning."

The Supreme Sage hummed and then asked: "What do you think about the Northern Expedition?"

Lin Ye said: "I, yesterday..."

The Supreme Saint glanced at him: "Add one more."

Lin Ye hesitated for a while before continuing: "I just went to the office and chatted with Lord Ning for half an hour. Regarding the Northern Expedition, Lord Ning and the others had some ideas that coincided with my thoughts.

combine."

The Supreme Sage asked: "Spend money?"

Lin Ye nodded: "Yes...the assistant ministers in the office have the same idea. They feel that although the Zongzheng is now accounting for half of Lou Fan's territory, it will be extremely difficult to expand the territory.

"

"The assistant ministers in the service office said that they can find someone to come forward and give Zongzheng Xianhe funding and let him expand his military equipment. It will be difficult for Dayu to directly conquer the north within two years, but he can spend money to make Zongzheng Xianhe fight harder."

The Supreme Sage nodded: "Ning Weimo and the others have already drawn up a detailed plan?"

Lin Ye said: "Not yet, and it is actually difficult to choose a candidate. Zong Zheng is famous and suspicious. If the person chosen is not appropriate, it may be counterproductive."

The Supreme Sage said: "It's hard to say, but it's not hard to say it's not. You always stare at Dayu and Lou Fan. Can't you broaden your horizons further?"

He pointed at the map hanging next to him. When Lin Ye looked over, he saw at a glance that several locations had been marked on the map, the most conspicuous of which was the Western Region.

"People from the Western Regions have always been at odds with Dayu.

Therefore, it is more convenient for people from the Western Regions to take the lead."

The Supreme Sage is still watching the chess game.

"I have already arranged for the northwest frontier army to cooperate in a play. The frontier army will move outside, and the people from the western regions will act more miserably. In this way, it will not be difficult to win the trust of Zongzheng Xianhe."

"The people of the Western Regions lack everything but money. Let them come forward to support Zongzheng Xianhe and provide him with military pay. Yunzhou will find a way to transport the supplies to the Western Regions and then pass them on to Zongzheng Xianhe.

"

Lin Ye said: "Sure enough, Your Majesty is still far-sighted, sir..."

The Supreme Sage glanced at him.

Lin Ye said: "I admire you."

The Supreme Sage asked: "Are you not used to it or do you dislike it?"

Lin Ye said: "Some of them."

The Supreme Saint pouted.

If Lin Ye just said that he was not used to it, of course he should sound nicer, but the Supreme Saint naturally also knew that Lin Ye was not telling the truth, but even if Lin Ye told the truth, he would not feel very comfortable.

"It's up to you."

The Supreme Sage said: "No matter what you call yourself, your identity will never change."

He pointed to a memorial next to him: "Let's take a look. This is a memorial sent by Ning Shehaicai. It details what Northern Xinjiang needs and the total number of available troops. Are you

Prince, please worry more about government affairs, go and discuss with Ning Weimo what to do."

Lin Ye nodded: "I obey your order."

The Supreme Sage waved his hand: "Go ahead. If it's nothing that can't be solved, there's no need to bother me. You can discuss it with the assistant ministers in the office."

Lin Ye leaned over and saluted again.

After exiting the imperial study room, Lin Ye subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't know he had arrived.

What are you being pretentious about?

As he walked towards the office, he kept thinking, how much does the Supreme Saint really want?

Not much, it can even be said to be pitiful.

When he walked to the door of the office, he happened to see Ning Weimo going out. Lin Ye asked him where he was going. Ning Weimo said that he was going to the treasury to check the account books that had just been counted.

As the prime minister and assistant, he has to handle this kind of thing personally. You can imagine how hard Ning Weimo usually has to work.

Lin Ye simply got into the same car with him and went to the Ministry of Finance together.

"Ning Shenghai is a lion's mouth."

Ning Weimo looked at the memorial and said: "I handed it in. I have read it. He said that the troops that can be mobilized in Northern Xinjiang are 500,000, which is the strength of the frontier troops during the previous Northern Expedition to Winter Park. But he said

The food and grass supplies needed are enough for at least 800,000 people."

Ning Weimo said: "I know the war is fought against the rich, but I can't give it to you even if you ask for something like this."

Lin Ye nodded and said: "Although there are still two years left, the food and grass supplies will go first. At most, we will have to wait for another year. After one year, all the people and horses and supplies will have to go to Dongbo to gather..."

He thought for a moment and then said: "In this case, I will write a letter to Dongbo and ask Yu Yucheng to see if we can coordinate some things. The office will make arrangements according to the actual number of the army of 500,000. If it fails, Ning

I'll discuss it over the sea."

Ning Weimo, a cunning old man, was waiting for Lin Ye's words.

It is actually very difficult to discuss matters with the feudal officials, even if the officials from the service office come forward. For someone like Ning Shehai, who has a large number of troops, there is no need to give face to the service office.

But if Lin Ye came forward, wouldn't Ning Shehai give it to him?

face?

Seeing Ning Weimo laughing, Lin Ye curled his lips and said, "You would never dare to discuss this with Your Majesty, so you came to make things difficult for me. Sooner or later, I will pay back your efforts to make things difficult for me."

for you."

Ning Weimo said: "Why would your Highness make things difficult for me? Your Highness also knows that I am doing this all for Dayu's sake. The soldiers at the front only worry about what they need for the war, while I have to worry about everything here."

He looked at Lin Ye and said: "Your Highness, can't you see? I am already too old to look good."

Lin Ye said: "How long has it been since you went home?"

Ning Weimo said: "Two months? I can't remember...Look at this, I may not be able to go back in another two months."

The administrative office is actually only two moments away from Ning Weimo's residence, but he can handle a lot of official duties in these two moments.

Lin Ye said: "Let's relax tonight."

Ning Weimo said: "Actually, there is nothing else to do if you go home. It doesn't matter if you don't want to go. It won't be too late to relax after this battle is over. It will only take two or three years. It will be over."

Lin Ye said: "I didn't tell you to go home."

Ning Weimo: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Lin Ye lowered his voice and said, "Are there any casual clothes in the office?"

Ning Weimo nodded: "Yes."

Lin Ye said: "I will accompany you to Qingyu River tonight."
