After getting on the carriage, Xiaoyao kept chattering. She counted the batch of goods just now, and it cost at least sixty taels. This time she gave a discount of more than ten taels. Manager Yang was really a big deal.

"Look at your money-loving look, it's only a dozen taels of silver." Zhou Wei teased, not worth mentioning compared to her real purpose.

"Miss, aren't you the same? You're obviously much happier than when you came." As a personal maid, Xiaoyao could certainly see that his lady was much more relaxed.

"Is it so obvious?" Zhou Wei touched her face, obviously always showing calmness.

"Of course, Miss, let's go to Yuyanfang to have a look." Xiaoyao has been thinking about Yuyanfang for a long time. The rouge and water powder he bought has never been used up, so she followed behind to find the bargain.

"Then go." Zhou Wei, who originally planned to continue living in seclusion, felt that if she just returned home like this, it would inevitably attract attention. It would be better to go and see the rouge powder. Girls' homes have to take a good look at every shopping.

Three days later, Sun Yu, who was in Jianpu, got Zhou Wei's letter. Although the words were extremely obscure, Sun Yu still understood the meaning almost exactly. Combined with the information provided by the Qing Gang, the matter was basically analyzed.

"Why are you so worried?" Ju Yao pushed the two children and walked around the yard. The child has been more than four months old. In the next two months, Sun Yu should send Zhenzhou to the Duke of Jiangning.

"The court is complicated, and I don't know if there will be any changes later." Sun Yu shook his head. If Zhou Wei enters the harem, it will basically be consistent with the original trend, but if it is replaced by Concubine Xie, the change will be huge.

"This matter is useless, it's better to spend more time with your children." Ju Yao felt that Jianzhou was far away from the center and could not get involved in the affairs in the court.

"I'll discuss it with Mr. Xu again, and this matter will eventually be planned." Sun Yu was unsure. Although Zhou Wei's entry into the harem was the greatest benefit for him. But now Zhou Wei is obviously thinking about him and they have a long engagement with each other. How could Sun Yu push her to Li Yu?

"Go, wait for you to come back for dinner in the evening." Ju Yao didn't understand these things either. If you have some serious business, she also needs to cook in the business.

The autumn harvest has begun in various parts of Jianzhou, and the yamen is busy, just waiting to put this batch of taxed grain into the warehouse.

Xu Yi kept thinking about the public housing with his abacus. At present, the harvest is good, but he can't stand the expenses. No matter how much he calculates, there is no surplus. Next year, all counties will have to tighten their belts to live.

"Mr. Xu, the following officials are stupid. You might as well increase taxes. Nowadays, life is still relatively abundant." An official from the Jianzhou Yamen suggested. In Jianzhou, basically every household can eat and wear a lot. It is okay to add some taxes, and the people will definitely understand it.

"No, this case cannot be opened." Xu Yi shook his head. The kingly way is to hide wealth from the people. After the people are rich, their consumption capacity has increased significantly, and the income brought by the workshops under their rule and the taxes and silver paid by the shops have increased significantly. Moreover, as long as we survive this year, when the Daliuqiu Island is developed, the prefecture will be more abundant.

"Yes, you can't think about increasing taxes when encountering problems. In this way, what's the difference between it and the foolish and corrupt people?" Sun Yu just came in and happened to hear these things, and was very satisfied with Xu Yi's decision. Many times, the collapse of the country started with increasing taxes. At the beginning, it was just an external trouble, because the tax was increased uncontrollably, resulting in wars everywhere and finally collapsed.

"I will join the Marquis!" Everyone stood up and saluted.

"Sit all, sir, go out for a walk." This is not the place to speak. What Sun Yu wants to say is the highest secret and cannot be leaked.

In the courtyard in the governor's mansion, Sun Yu sat down in the pavilion. Compared to the secret room in the study, it was more reassuring to see the surrounding environment.

The evil dog held the mace and leaned against the rockery next to him and dozed off. That was the only place where people could hide.

Xu Yi looked around and didn't know what Sun Yu was doing. Isn't this a good thing? Why did he suddenly make it so serious?

"Sir, what if we fight another war with Fuzhou this year?" Sun Yu thought for a long time. If Li Yu really hired the Taifu Mansion, war was the only way to delay the marriage.

In my mind, Sun Yu vaguely remembered that it seemed that after the death of the Great Zhou Queen, Zhou Wei, the little Zhou Queen, had just entered the harem. What else must have happened in this way must have Li Yu stop. If Li Yu was hired now, all he had to do was to interrupt all this and drag it to the variable.

"No, Marquis, although we are strong at present, our combat power is far from reaching its peak, especially the cavalry. In addition, we lack money and food. If we really start a war, we will probably go hungry after spring." Xu Yi became anxious after hearing this. He was still thinking about putting together and striving to survive until next year's autumn harvest. Why are there still wars? The war is too expensive, and it is not enough to burn.

"But I am afraid that I have to fight." Sun Yu felt guilty after saying that, and it was really unreasonable to launch a war for his own selfishness. But as far as the current situation is concerned, we must drive the power of the South Vietnamese Kingdom to the north of the Minjiang River to expand our territory.

"What's the reason?" Xu Yi didn't want to ask at first, but in his current situation, it's really not appropriate to start a war.

"Please forgive me for not being convenient for me to inform you, but this battle is probably inevitable. Mr. Hun also knows our overall strategy. Now we should consume the strength of the South Vietnamese Kingdom. Every time we prepare well, we will not be idle." Sun Yu was still somewhat sure of fighting on the south bank of the Fujian River. The terrain was relatively open, with most plains, suitable for cavalry charges.

"How many troops are transferred?" Xu Yi had no choice. As a subordinate, if the superiors were determined to start a war, he would not be able to stop him.

"All attacks, fight quickly!" There is no tall city on the south bank of the Minjiang River. As long as you break through the pass and put cavalry in, you will have an absolute advantage. By then, all the Minjiang River will be blocked and ships are prohibited. The defenders on the South Bank will not receive support, and it will be only a short time before they are defeated.

"If it could end in two months from the mobilization of the war, we could still afford the money and food. But the post-war pension and silver rewards may be required.

It's until next year." After a little calculation, Xu Yi gave the answer.

Two months seem to be very long, but the groups are spread around and when they are all concentrated on the front line, almost half a month has passed.

"If we take this piece, we will almost be half a state. If the cavalry moves fast enough to block the river surface, the South Vietnamese country will have no less than 20,000 soldiers stationed here. If we eat it in one bite, we will not only seriously damage the other party, but we will also have more free labor." The momentum of war is about the rise and fall of one person. Although Nanyue has increased its troops in Fuzhou, most of them are in Fuzhou City. As long as it moves fast enough, it can catch them off guard.

"The army is inconsistent and the water is inconsistent. Marquis, we will be smooth sailing all the way since we fought south. But now we are facing the country of Nanyue, and the population and land are several times that of us. Don't be careless." Xu Yi felt that Sun Yu had made the best plan, which would not work. On the battlefield, there would be changes in an instant. If this battle is won, Nanyue will not be hurt at all. If it is defeated, the upward momentum of the loyal and brave army will come to an abrupt end and we have to be very cautious.

"I don't know, but no matter how I wait, there will be no major changes in the comparison between the enemy and the enemy. If you want to gain a foothold in this world, you should take some risks." Sun Yu knew that the risk of this battle was extremely high. Once he was in a deadlock, with the financial resources under his rule, he could not hold on at all. It would be a blessing to be able to escape unstoppable.

Although he was preparing to start a war in advance for Zhou Wei, this matter also reminded him that if he wanted to get anything in this world, he had to fight with his life, and he kept fighting. The current prosperity of the Three States is probably not just him, but even his officials and generals will inevitably be lazy.

"Then you have to write to the court for this matter first?" Qiu Feng was so cold that Xu Yi wrapped his clothes tightly. If the court could support one or two, the pressure would be much smaller.

"No, if the news is leaked, it will never be restored." Sun Yu shook his head. He could not trust the people of the court. If the news was received by the South Vietnamese Kingdom, he would have no day to turn things around.

Sun Yu looked up at the sky, not knowing where the fleet has been. If he could return with a large amount of food, he would be able to travel more easily.

Dozens of ships slowly emerged in Da Nang, and the first to be the seven slender warships were borne by the brunt.

"Do you see anything? Why do they Han people use this kind of soft sail?" The man in armor stared at the fleet in front of him with a sinister face. Why didn't he see him for a year? The fleet has changed its sails, as if it is very powerful.

"The general, the young man didn't understand it. I guess he pretended to be more windy and could run faster." The staff beside him looked puzzled. It was the first time he saw this thing. The direction of the key ship was different from the wind, which was very strange.

"Then do you think we should do it?" The sinister man was Li Yuanlong, the general of the Wu Dynasty's naval commander. He was in charge of 30,000 naval commanders and controlled most of the Wu Dynasty's sea area.
