When Cao Cao was conscripting the whole country, Ao Lie was not idle either. He took out a huge amount of wealth and handed it over to the general led by Wang Hun and Ma Jun as the supervisor, and asked the thousands of skilled craftsmen who worked as supervisors to work overtime to prepare various military funds. In order to alleviate the pressure of the general's supervisors, Ao Lie also ordered that more than 2,000 students in the engineering department in Yanjing Academy go to the general's supervisors to help the general's supervisors when they had no homework. Although the craftsmanship of these students was not necessarily very superb, with their solid basic skills, there was no problem in helping the craftsmen in the supervisors.

Only high investment will bring high returns. If students in the supervisory and engineering department want to build large-scale weapons of destruction such as red-clothed crossbows to play an important role in the battlefield, then necessary investment is essential. At this time, the strong side of the Northern Han was revealed.

After the recruitment of 500,000 troops, the money and food in the Northern Han treasury was reduced by one third, and the remaining two-thirds had to maintain the annual military pay of these 500,000 new soldiers, which must not be used easily. Therefore, the money for building military funds and preparing food and food must be raised from various states in the Northern Han Dynasty.

According to the different economic conditions of each major state, the state patriarchs of each state paid a large amount of money and grain to the central government while ensuring the normal operation of the state affairs, and the total amount reached a terrifying 200 million yuan, which was almost equivalent to the inventory of the Northern Han treasury. This number is quite large, but it is very consistent with the economic proportion of a country. The central government's treasury in the amount of money stored in the country is equivalent to that of the country's economy, which is the most prominent sign of a country's economic maturity. However, with the joint cooperation of the ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty and Ao Lie citing a large amount of governance concepts from later generations, the economic situation of the Northern Han Dynasty was really terrifying, almost the same as the prosperous era of the Wenjing Dynasty in the past.

Among the major prefectures, the one who paid the most money and grain was Yizhou, known as the country of Tianfu, and Jizhou, which had abundant money and grain; followed closely by Jingzhou, which was vast, Jiangdong, with rivers crisscrossing, and Bingzhou, which had not suffered wars in the past decade; in the third echelon, Guanzhong, which had just settled the war and Liangzhou, which had a strong civilian customs. As Guang, Ming and Tongsanzhou, which had developed rapidly over the years, Jiaozhou failed to transport money and grain in time because it was too far away from Yanjing, but Jiaozhou Mu Shixie borrowed money and grain from Yizhou Mu Xu Shu, who borrowed money and grain in line with the economic conditions of the state by borrowing loans.

The money was transported to Yanjing by Xu Shu on behalf of Shi Xie, and then Shi Xie raised money and grain from Jiaozhou to Yizhou. The provincial and ministers of these major prefectures did not pay all the money and grain in a constant manner. Instead, based on the specialties of various places, equivalent items were replaced by some money and grain. For example, Liangzhou used Liangzhou horses to replace 30% of money and grain, while Yizhou used fine iron and 100 steel to replace 20% of money and grain... The advantage of this is that it can be used to obtain local materials, saving money and grain after being transported to Yanjing. It also has to issue procurement links from Yanjing, which invisibly saves a lot of costs.

What Ao Lie unexpectedly was that Xiao Ru, who was far away in Fusang, also sent support. He fully demonstrated his talent in politics and sent people to send money and grain from twenty large ships, which was almost equal to the sum of money and grain from Guang and Ming states. Moreover, in addition to sending a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, Xiao Ru also sent Fusang's specialties - fruits and dried fish. The so-called fruits do not refer to things like snacks, but a plant that matures twice a year, which is both beautiful and delicious, and is considered a fruit with a very refreshing taste.

It can also play a role in filling the belly. There is no need to explain it. This is the most famous specialty of Fusang. It is rich in nutrition and unique in taste. These two things make Ao Lie's eyes lit up. If these two foods are combined and a small amount of staple food is added, it can be considered a very good meal. The most important thing is that fruits and dried fish are good at preserving, not prone to decay, and have high nutritional value. Such meals can allow the soldiers in the army to eat enough while ensuring sufficient physical strength and exert all their combat effectiveness in battle.

After tasting some fruits and dried fish, Ao Lie immediately asked the two famous doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing to make a judgment, and combined it with a recipe with a variety of varieties, excellent taste and rich nutrition as a regular dietary standard in the army. He also ordered large-scale planting in areas with similar climates to Fusang according to the fruit seeds and cultivation methods provided by Xiao Ru. He also required that areas in the coastal areas be made of dried fish in Fusang to carry out quantitative fish production to serve as military rations. Of course, Ao Lie would not do the fishing process in the waters. He did not want to see things that destroy the natural environment. All fishing behaviors will be carried out under the unified command of the government to avoid the risk of harming future generations.

After recruiting a large amount of money and grain, Ao Lie refined the next work focus to two aspects. On the one hand, he ordered generals at all levels to train under the coordination and command of Gao Shun, Xu Rong and others to train troops in order to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and to achieve a tacit understanding with the original elite soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty; on the other hand, Ao Lie issued a death order to the general, ordering the general to expand the military preparations to the standard that one can fight at the same time within five months.

With the vitality of combat effectiveness combined with excellent equipment, and with the military spirits that Ao Lie deliberately cultivated in the army, if these three points can be perfectly combined, Ao Lie has reason to believe that it is not too difficult to eliminate the last resistance to unify the world and uproot Cao Cao's power!

In the next half a year, the Northern Han Dynasty, with Ao Lie as the core, closely united together like a huge and sophisticated machine, which began to operate vigorously, and changed the color of the whole world! Even those who did not care about politics had clearly felt the tension before the war. The two countries of the Northern Han and Wei, Ao Lie and Cao Cao, had finally reached the time for a real decisive battle. All the soldiers of the two countries were ready to prepare for the war. In the tense preparations, they were ready to follow the orders of their respective monarchs at any time and set foot on the battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, time came to midsummer. After a heavy rain, Ao Lie came to Yanjing's military academy alone and stood quietly in front of the towering Zhonglie Monument for a long time. On the Zhonglie Monument, the Zhonglie Monument changed from the initial empty words to the dense crowds of people, and some people even had their names left behind, leaving only a simple code name. Ao Lie reached out to brush them one by one, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn.

The reason why the Northern Han Dynasty has today's strength is inseparable from these martyrs who keep their names on the Monument of Loyalty and Martyrs forever. Without these people's fearlessness and continuous efforts, there would be no such thing as the Northern Han Dynasty. It was these respectable and lovely martyrs who used their lives to lay the foundation for the Northern Han Dynasty. It was these martyrs who wrote a tragic song of life with their blood, setting the Northern Han Dynasty to the clouds! In Ao Lie's heart, they will always be the cutest people!

In his heart, Ao Lie's mood could not be calm for a long time. For these martyrs who died on the battlefield, for the people who longed for peace, and for the long-term peace of future generations, Ao Lie and the Northern Han Dynasty behind him could only win, not lose!

Standing in front of the Zhonglie Monument without moving, Ao Lie returned to his bedroom on the second day as the sun rose. He wanted to leave the last little time to his family selfishly. Although the specific date for his battle has not been set, that day will not be too far away. Before that, Ao Lie wanted to spend a period of time with his family. He could not guarantee that he would be able to come back alive in the upcoming war, so he had to spend a limited time to enjoy endless happiness with his family.

During this period, Ao Lie obviously felt that his relatives around him had made great changes. His master, Mr. Wang Ao, uncle Tong Yuan and grandfather Ao, left his serious face, just like three old naughty boys, who liked to come to Ao Lie to chat and joke with him whenever he had something to do; his father Liu Yu was no longer as harsh as before. Whenever he looked at Ao Lie, his eyes were always filled with relief and inspiration, and the corners of his mouth often inadvertently brought an exaggerated curve; his mother, Mrs. Ao, picked up the needlework that he had not done for a long time, one stitch after another.

Sew a decent and generous robe for Ao Lie; Sun Shangxiang is no longer as barbaric as before, but becomes particularly gentle; Cai Yan and Zhen Mi, they are all over the world, looking at Ao Lie affectionately all day long, as if the unmarried girl saw the young man she likes; Little Liu Kun also changed his style of adults and returned to the child's nature, following Ao Lie day and night, as if he had a foreshadow that his father would face the most difficult test in his life, a test of success, defeat, and defeat...

The family made Ao Lie feel endless warmth, and at the same time brought him endless motivation. The names of the martyrs on the Zhonglie Monument and the warmth brought by the family made Ao Lie feel thousands of thoughts. Finally, all the thoughts were integrated and transformed into eight big words: just for victory, not for death!

On the first day of August of the second year of Kangxi and Qianlong, Ao Lie harvested his second child in his life. The child's mother was Zhen Mi. This child was a girl, and her jade was very cute. She had a vague imagination of Liu Kun in her appearance. As soon as she was born, she could predict that she would be a beautiful woman in the future. Ao Lie immediately enthroned this girl as Princess Changle, meaning that she could spend her life happily.

However, on this day, Ao Lie had no time to name his newly born daughter, so he had to give up his newly born daughter and led 500,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty on the journey.
