The three fronts of east, west, and south started fighting at the same time, and all the troops were temporarily in trouble.

Taiyuan is of course extremely important. As long as the artillery is sent, the city walls are blown open and Taiyuan is captured, and the army marches straight into the capital, the Hu people will have no choice but to retreat to Liaodong, and the Central Plains will be settled.

But Lanzhou is equally important, and as long as Lanzhou is certain, the Chinese Army can go straight to Hami along the Hexi Corridor, control and manage the Western Region earlier, and only then can the Chinese Army expel Russia from Heilongjiang in the future, and then be able to contain Russia from the flanks.

There is also Annan. Now Annan has begun to evolve into the Yongle Dynasty. If the Annan people rebel again and again, it will only increase the burden of troops and food for the Chinese army. In the end, they can only withdraw from Annan like the Ming Dynasty.

After reading the three military reports, Wan Jun fell into deep thought. He wanted to take his troops to support Taiyuan, and then go all the way to Gyeonggi and drive the Hu people out of Shanhaiguan. Then he thought about Lanzhou, defeat the Hu people, and then sweep the entire country.

northwest.

"Ziyi, what do you think we should do? It's impossible to attack in three directions at the same time!"

Cui Ziyi came over and asked, "Does the head of state have any plans?"

Wan Jun said, "I won't ask you if I have anything. Just tell me if you have anything."

Cui Ziyi thought about it and said, "It's better to concentrate on taking care of Annan first."

Wan Jun hesitated, "What about the east and west fronts? Taiyuan and Lanzhou don't care?"

Cui Ziyi said, "Our troops are on the offensive on both the east and west fronts. Even if they are surrounded but not attacked, it will only allow the enemy to linger for a few more days. However, the Annan incident cannot be delayed. Once the Annan people gain momentum, it will be difficult to solve them."

Seeing that Wan Jun was still thinking, Cui Ziyi said anxiously, "It was the head of state who overcame everyone's opinions and decided on the strategy of conquering Annan in the south. Now Annan has indeed rebelled like the Yongle Dynasty. If the head of state does not set the tone as soon as possible, everyone will even face it.

If there is no expression, what do you think in your heart?"

Wan Jun gritted his teeth and said, "My decision was not wrong. It was the best time to send troops at that time. Later, our army did not take Annan easily."

Cui Ziyi said, "Then why is the head of state hesitating again now?"

Wan Jun sighed, "There is no need to worry about sending troops. If the Annan people rebel again and again in the future..."

Cui Ziyi stamped his feet anxiously, "What's wrong? The head of state wants to retreat like the Ming Dynasty? If he rebels this time, we will attack him first. If he rebels in the future, we will fight again in the future."

Wan Jun made up his mind, "Okay, then defeat him, I still don't believe it!"

Cui Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief, stroking his palms and said, "Yes, if the head of state hesitates, the people below will be even less firm. Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed and their heads will be torn to see who dares to cause rebellion."

When Wan Jun heard these murderous words, he laughed in his heart and said, "I said you are still a cultivator. When these words come out of your mouth, why are you so murderous?"

Cui Ziyi smiled sadly and said, "As the saying goes, one must kill oneself to achieve benevolence..."

Wan Jun said speechlessly, "Fuck you. To kill someone is to give up your own life. How can you do the same to others?"

Cui Ziyi restrained himself a little and said, "Sin, sin, sin! The world is selfless and the earth is selfless. Everyone's life is life. As long as you can be a benevolent person, the life of anyone you kill is the same to me. If you can kill me, then I will kill him right now.

."

Wan Jun couldn't understand this logic and said to Cui Ziyi, "Then I will arrange everything and leave for Annan as soon as possible."

Cui Ziyi said, "Shouldn't I go?"

Wan Jun said, "Chang'an always needs one of our own to take charge!"

Cui Ziyi nodded, "Of course, then I will stay in the city!"

After Cui Ziyi was sent away, it was getting late. Wanjun thought for a moment and sent someone to tell Xie Xiaoni and Wen Anzhi.

The two of them hurried over and found out that Wan Jun was about to leave. Xie Xiaoni said, "Issuing banknotes is also a big deal. Are you so confident to go to war?"

Wan Jun said, "This time we go south, it may take a little longer. We have to do it all at once to deal with the Annan people. We can't use the same strategy as before."

Since the last time Wen Anzhi begged for death and put thousands of troops on the table, he has been much more cautious in his actions. Even if he has some differences of opinion, he is no longer as dissuasive as before.

Hearing that Wanjun was going to conquer Annan again, Wen Anzhi took a deep breath and said slowly, "The head of state is going to take care and come back victorious as soon as possible."

Wan Jun said, "Don't worry, I will definitely solve the Annan issue completely. After I leave, you will discuss the matter of banknotes. This matter is of great importance. You must be careful and consider it carefully. If you need help, please directly

Go find Zhang Sheng!"

Wen'an's way is, "Don't worry, head of state, just leave this matter to us. If anything happens, we will quickly report it to the head of state."

Wan Jun calmed down and said to Xie Xiaoni, "After the issuance of Chinese coins, you set up an agricultural loan office to provide loans to the people at very low interest rates, so that the people can have money to buy farm tools and cattle."

Xie Xiaoni said, "How much is the interest? What if someone takes advantage of the opportunity to make profits, or the people borrow money and fail to repay it?"

Wan Jun said, "You make your own decision on this matter. After the civil system is established, these unethical things will be downgraded. They will consider everything."

After hurriedly explaining many matters, Wen An ordered someone to take the produced banknote sample. Wan Jun took it in his hand and played with it carefully. Because the technical conditions were not met, Wan Jun's ideal banknote style could not be achieved at all.

If you can settle for the next best thing, it will be as good as a banknote.

On the big money, according to Wan Junyao's five-color overprint, red is the main color, with a dragon pattern in the middle, the dragon's head looking back, and a large "hundred" character surrounded by a semicircle at the tail. Under the "hundred" word, two-color overprint

The word "two".

Both sides of the hundred taels of money were overprinted with fine shallow lines. Dots and lines were distributed between the fine lines, staggered into the shape of auspicious animals. The workmanship was very exquisite, and the material was soft and tough. Wan Jun couldn't help but wonder, "What is this made of?"

What kind of paper is it made of?”

Wen'an's way, "This is not paper, it is made of silk and mulberry wood. In order to increase the toughness, butter is added, and there are many processes before and after."

Wan Jun took the sample banknote and swung it to his ear, and the hundreds of taels of banknotes rattled, "Yes, this sound is a bit like the sound of RMB, hahaha."

Wen'an's Way, "What Coin?"

Wan Jun picked up the other two sample banknotes and folded them in his hand, "They are very valuable coins. The material you used is very good and feels very textured. Although it is a bit larger, it is still good overall.

."

Wen Anzhi chuckled twice and said, "The head of state is ridiculously complimentary."

"But this is a copper coin." Wan Jun picked up the sample copper coin and looked at it. It was still a round body with a square hole and the words "Hua Xia Tong Bao" written on it. It was a bit different from the coin he imagined. "The style is not innovative, and it is different from what is on the market."

The other copper coins are the same except for the characters."

Wen'an's Way, "What difference can copper coins make?"

Wan Jun gestured, "What I want is not this kind of Tongbao copper coin, but a kind of coin that looks very beautiful in your hand and is shiny like silver."

The Way of Wen'an, "Add some silver?"

Wan Jun said, "It doesn't matter if we add some silver. Silver will be withdrawn from circulation anyway, and copper will still be needed."

If you use it to make cannons, you should be more innovative and make our coins more beautiful so that they can be circulated in the market so that everyone can like them."

Wen Anzhi nodded and wrote down, "Who doesn't like money? No matter how ugly some people like it, then I will follow the leader's instructions and add some silver to make it silver, and then add some happy lines and words."

Wan Jun praised, "That's what I mean."

After explaining this, Wan Jun thought carefully in his heart, if there is anything else he forgot to tell, "By the way, let the iron factory in Chang'an make more plowshares. Today I saw many people using wooden plows, like that

It’s really hard to cultivate the land.”

Xie Xiaoni responded, "The head of state is interested, I will note it down."

Wan Jun said, "When trading houses sell plowshares, they always sell them at half of the cost, and the other half is paid by the finance to the commerce bureau, so that the people can afford them as much as possible."

After explaining this, Wan Jun was sure that he could not think of anything else. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye to the two of them and turned back to the back hall.

Wang Huan still lit the candle and sat in the hall outside his bedroom, waiting for Wan Jun.

Seeing Wan Jun's figure appear from the door, he immediately stood up from his chair and greeted him, "My husband is back, why is it so late today?"

Wan Jun said, "I went out to the city today to have a look."

Wang Huan took Wan Jun to the house and sat down, "How is it? Are the people living a decent life?"

Wan Jun had something on his mind, so he only responded calmly, "It's not bad. At least I can plow the land with peace of mind and harvest two crops to ease things up."

"That's good. Thanks to my husband for pacifying the bandits."

Wang Huan said with a smile. Seeing that Wan Jun was distracted and seemed to realize something in his heart, he stopped.

After a while of silence, Wan Jun finally said, "I'm leaving!"

The joy on Wang Huan's face disappeared, "When?"

"tomorrow!"

The candle flickered, and the dim yellow light reflected the woman in front of him. Her gentle eyes were shining with crystal light. Wan Jun saw a teardrop falling and asked in surprise, "Why are you crying?"

Wang Huan took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his tears, sighed and said, "I'm fine, I want to hold it back."

Wan Jun reached out to pull her. Wang Huan waved his hand and turned around and entered the bedroom. Wan Jun quickly stood up and followed her in. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wang Huan sat on the bed, tears falling silently from his face, like bullets fired from a musket, hitting Wan Jun's heart.

After a while, Wang Huan asked, "Where are you going this time?"

"Annan!"

After a moment of silence, Wang Huan asked again, "How long will it take to go this time?"

Wan Jun wanted to go and come back, but he couldn't bear to keep her waiting, so he told the truth, "Probably a long time, maybe after October!"

Wang Huan stood up and threw herself into Wan Jun's arms, "I know your husband's important affairs are important, I just can't let you go."

Wan Jun patted the girl's back, "I know, I know!"

The two hugged each other for a long time, until the lights were out and the moon was setting in the west.

On the second day, Wang Huan got up early, helped Wan Jun pack everything, and then handed the package he had prepared in advance to Wan Jun.

The two reluctantly said goodbye and arrived at the gate of the Head of State. Many guards had gathered and Cui Ziyi and others were waiting to see them off.
Chapter completed!
