Miss Zhou said angrily: "I wanted to use troops a long time ago, but you didn't allow it."
"The use of troops may ruin the imperial government's century-old plan, and once troops are used, the imperial government will be heavily burdened. If the capital has no taxes to pay, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has to allocate funds to use military funds, I am afraid that this money will not be allocated within three to five months.
.”
Internal conflicts meant that he would use troops at every turn. How much money would the court waste? Moreover, it would also trigger conflicts. This was the reason why he had not been able to make up his mind to use troops for a long time.
Miss Zhou was so angry that she laughed, "If that's the case, why bother asking? If you ask, you can use troops?"
King Wei pressed his hands and said without blushing or out of breath: "You don't understand. You have to talk about the situation."
Miss Zhou rolled her eyes.
King An asked about the city's production, economy, horse breeding, and farming. Miss Zhou had a better attitude towards King An, but she still didn't have much patience when talking about everything in the city.
She was on the verge of collapse. God knows how much she wanted to lead troops to annihilate the group of bandits occupied by the refugees on Langshan Mountain. These gangsters came down the mountain to plunder once a month. The people were miserable and complained that the court did not do anything for them.
They solve the problem.
However, Langshan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are several gangs of bandits in total, but I still don’t know how many there are. This is mainly because the number keeps increasing, and people who come from several other cities become bandits when they can’t survive.
They started out as a mob, but now they seem to have someone controlling them, and every robbery down the mountain is organized and planned.
She warned King Wei, "If the capital city is not reorganized, I am afraid that in a few years it will become a serious problem for the Northern Tang Dynasty."
King Wei didn't know the situation in Ruodu City as well as she did, but he also knew that she was by no means an alarmist. It seemed that the situation was really serious. After talking to King An for a few words, he said to Miss Zhou: "Let's do this. I will send two more people."
I'll give you a thousand men to see if you can attack Langshan and annihilate the bandits. As long as the bandits on Langshan are annihilated, it will have a deterrent effect on several factions in the city."
"Two thousand people?" Miss Zhou shook her head, her brows furrowed like sauerkraut, "It's useless, two thousand people can't attack Langshan, at least five thousand people."
"This is impossible. Five thousand soldiers and horses will be converted into a large amount of money." The King of Wei was really stingy.
"Then we can only make a small fuss, strengthen our defenses, and try to control them from going down the mountain to rob... Young master, are you sleepy? Why don't you go back and have a rest first?" Miss Zhou said, seeing Yuwen Zelan
He closed his eyes and nodded constantly, as if he was extremely sleepy, and asked.
Yuwen Zelan slid down from the chair, rubbed his eyes, "Okay, I'm going to bed."
Miss Zhou was very helpless. She thought that the young master would pay more attention to what was going on in the city, but she didn't know that she was not interested at all and fell asleep directly.
She didn't know what King Wei had brought her for. It was so heartbreaking for the women's soldiers to know that their master was a porcelain doll who didn't understand anything and didn't care about anything.
She asked someone to take Yuwen Zelan down to sleep, but she lost interest in telling King Wei and King An about what was going on in the city, and asked them to go for a walk on their own, so that they could understand her hardships over the years.
Of the five cities, Ruodu City received the fewest resources and had the smallest military strength. Naturally, she knew this was because from a geographical point of view, Ruodu City was the least important. The other four cities could all serve as barriers for Northern Tang to block the Northern Desert.
The only barrier is if the capital is close to the border of the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom is not yet established, it naturally does not receive the attention of the imperial court.
Moreover, of the five cities, the city lords of the remaining four have now grown up slowly and will soon be able to take charge of their own affairs. The only city lord of Ruodu City is that little girl who smells like milk.
Miss Zhou is a little frustrated. She is not afraid of hardships or difficulties. What she is most afraid of is not knowing when the end will come.
"Forget it, two thousand people are just two thousand people, which is better than none!" Miss Zhou said coldly.
King Wei said: "Okay, I and the princess will stay here for two days and then leave. After returning, I will immediately dispatch two thousand troops and horses to you!"
