Lu Chensheng didn't want to plan any offensive route, so it's better to let Bai Yilai, since he is an amateur anyway.

However, the areas of potassium salt are still occupied first, saying that this year's grain production depends on this.

Bai Yi glanced at it, then nodded after a while, indicating that there is no problem.

In recent days, she has also been studying the Grand Duchy of Kiev, and she probably has some understanding of the opponent's military deployment, terrain and so on.

There is probably a plan for how to occupy the Grand Duchy of Kiev.

The two were discussing on the sidelines about the Grand Duchy of Kiev, while Yiyi and the two daughters were eagerly waiting for the roast chicken to be delivered.

Half an hour later, when the grilled chicken was delivered, the two girls cheered and immediately crawled to eat.

I could smell this strong fragrance from afar, but it made them greedy.

Lu Chensheng looked at it and didn't say anything, his eyes were still on the map.

On the whole, the location of the Grand Duchy of Kiev is still very good, with many places close to the sea.

In addition, there are many forests on the other side, but it is colder in winter.

After it was occupied, all kinds of medicinal materials and rare birds inside belonged to the Xinghan Dynasty.

It is estimated that the minerals over there are also very rich.

Lu Chensheng estimated in his heart, guessing how many resources the other side had.

The day passed quickly, and Bai Yi quickly had an idea of ​​the plan for this battle.

Next, it just needs to be perfected.

On the logistics side, just explain it to the minister of the household department and make sure there is no problem.

As for the logistics, Bai Yi has never been worried.

In the imperial court, even if there were some treacherous ministers, they would never dare to make troubles in logistics when she was going on an expedition.

The Holy Majesty is watching from above, if he dares to make a fuss about the logistics, isn't that suspected of murdering the empress?This is clearly courting death!

And there is no need to worry about these rumors about self-respect.

The relationship with Lu Chensheng allowed her to go out safely and leave the back to her husband.

The next day.

When Lu Chensheng got up, there were still snowflakes outside.

But if you look closely, you will know that the snowflake has become much smaller.

It looks like the snow will stop soon.

Lu Chensheng looked overjoyed, if it would stop for a few days, the weather this year is better than previous years.

At noon, the sun finally climbed out slowly, and the clouds dispersed.

The upper and lower parts of the palace were immediately illuminated with a golden color.

Grand Duchy of Kiev.

The country north of Xinghan City is a bit colder than Xinghan Empire.

Especially because of the impact of the Little Ice Age, the weather here is much colder. It is still snowy at this moment, and heavy snow keeps falling.

There are not many soldiers guarding the city, wearing iron armor, it is easy to get stuck on the body and cannot be taken off, especially at night, it is easy to freeze to death.

Therefore, the guards have been relaxed a lot.

Another reason for being so lax is that the Grand Duchy of Kiev has existed for hundreds of years, and no one dared to send troops to them.

"This damn weather is much colder!"

A prince and minister cursed fiercely, straightened the golden crown on his head with his hands, and continued walking towards the palace.

Unlike the Xinghan Empire, the ministers here can wear the gold crown as long as the title is high enough, but there will be some distinctions from the crown in terms of specifications.

If it is a crown, it will be decorated with precious stones, which is extremely gorgeous.

The minister came to the palace, asked for an audience, waited for a while, and was invited in.

"See Your Majesty the King!"

When the minister saw the king, he put his right hand on his chest and saluted.

The king on the throne waved his hand, "What's the matter?"

He was rather slack while speaking, and there was a maid beside him, who was constantly feeding fruit into his mouth.

The king was not dressed very formally, the other party hurriedly asked for an audience, and there were not too many people, so the king came to meet him casually.

The minister below was already used to seeing it, and bowed his head and said.

"My lord, the dynasty next door to us seems to be not very law-abiding. Recently, a lot of soldiers have been patrolling the border, and outside the country, it seems that there are people from the other side who are exploring our country."

The minister spoke.

The king above frowned when he heard this, "The dynasty next door? Is that the Xinghan Empire? It seems that the other party has completed the feat of unifying the three kingdoms, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, and the other party has also wiped out the tribes on the grassland, and a Northern Kingdom has also been wiped out. This new dynasty seems to be full of ambitions. Maybe we should be more careful, or else we have to take action to teach them a lesson. The other party, so that the other party knows that we are not so easy to mess with.

In addition, let the other party know our strength and snatch that piece of forest over. "

Hearing this, the king finally sat up straight.

"This neighbor does seem to be not very peaceful, but he should not dare to come to our idea. The military strength of the Grand Duchy of Kiev is very strong. How can he be provocative?"

The king didn't take it seriously, thinking it was a bit of a fuss.

A country that has just been unified not long ago wants to fight against them. Where does it come from?

Their Grand Duchy of Kiev has always been unified, and their military strength is also very strong.

Although he had heard about the Xinghan Empire's equipment, he still didn't care.

This also comes from his trust in his soldiers.

"But my lord, we often have some contacts in the forest where we are handing over to the other party. It is clearly our territory. It is really hateful that the other party always has people coming in. We can take this opportunity to let the other party know that this forest is our."

The minister below said.

"If you mobilize troops, it will cost a lot of money!"

The king finally talked about this topic. He has never wanted to talk about sending troops because it costs too much money.

He used a lot of the money in the treasury for personal expenses. If there was a war, wouldn't he have much less money to spend?

How bad is this?

If the other party didn't call, it would be nice to just go on like this, and the other party didn't have the courage to call.

The minister frowned. He knew that this problem was very serious. Not only the king, but many ministers would not even think about fighting.

Because people like them basically made a little money.

In case of a war, those who make money will lose a lot of income.

"If we win the battle, the Xinghan Empire will be able to pay for all the expenses at that time, and we can ask for a little more. Judging by the opponent's appearance, they should have a lot of money."

The minister thought for a while and said something.

Since ancient times, it is completely okay to ask for a sum of money to win.

Hearing this, the king was immediately moved.

If this is won, wouldn't it be a good thing if there is more money?

Moreover, with the strength of their soldiers, how could they not beat them!

Thinking of this in his heart, the king immediately moved, "Well, we can try this matter, and by the way, we will also plan that forest as our own, so that people from the other side will not always invade our territory."

The king made a final decision, ready to take action against the Xinghan Empire.

This made the minister feel relieved.

According to some news he has received recently, he can feel that the other party seems to have some malicious intentions.

Judging from the attitude of the opponent who directly killed the grassland Tartars and Beifan Kingdom in the past, it is still very possible to attack them.

But now, they are ready to do it, and they want to take the lead.

However, no matter how to do it, we have to wait for the ghost weather to pass.

Otherwise, the soldiers would be frozen to death on the way.

The weather in the past few years has really become colder and colder, and the snow that falls can bury the entire house!

The minister complained in his heart and got up to leave.

The king agreed to this matter, and then just find a time, mention it to the minister, and basically settle this matter.

With the king on top, even if the ministers disagree, basically there will be no major problems.

I heard that last year, the Xinghan Dynasty made a lot of money, and the pavement in the palace was covered with gold. When the time comes to win, you must have a lot of gold!

The minister hummed a little tune and left.

I was still fantasizing about how much money I should have after winning the fight.

The palace of the Xinghan Empire is naturally very luxurious, but after these descriptions were spread here, it has changed its appearance.

Many people thought that in the Xinghan Dynasty's palace, the pavement was made of gold bricks, which made many people jealous, thinking of looting, including this minister.

Chapter 8 and seven

Star Appraisal Division is more reliable.

The heavy snow dissipated quickly, the weather began to gradually clear up, and the original snow began to gradually melt away.

The ice in the canal finally melted under the sun, and the shipping with various places can finally continue.

The water transport officials also started to get busy. When the weather was cold, they froze the river, but they had nothing to do.

At this time, the canal began to open, and things suddenly increased.

Another month passed, and the time came directly to the time of spring plowing. In comparison, this year's spring plowing was much warmer than usual.

The prefects all over the country attach great importance to this year's spring plowing, because there is a competition this year, and if there is more grain from the plowing, then there will be rewards from the court!

Ever since, people from all over the country have seen the officials who came to the fields during the spring plowing time, and they are inquiring in every possible way.

For farming tools, cattle and other things, they all asked carefully, and they would find a way to get what was missing.

All of this is very different to the common people. In the eyes of the common people, this is the relationship between the magistrates and them.

I have never experienced such a feeling before, and they are still very moved when they meet now.

On the day of spring plowing, even outside Xinghan city was extremely lively.

The soldiers on patrol on the city wall could see the people far away outside the city, and there were still densely packed people bending over to plant rice seedlings.

Ships from other places also began to enter the city at this time. You can see it next to the canal, and the fields beside it look a little lush.

The willow trees by the canal also spit out a little bit of emerald green.

"It really is the beauty of the grass growing and the warbler flying to the February sky, and the Bodhi willow drunk with spring smoke written by the Holy One!"

The students who entered the imperial capital looked at the scenery on both sides at this moment, and their faces were full of emotions.

"Yes, the Holy Majesty is really a saint. Now there are such scenery outside the Great Wall, but it is not inferior to the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River."

Accompanied by the side, the scholar wearing the towel also nodded and responded with emotion. He was extremely intoxicated by the scenery here.

In the field on the side, those little emerald green colors make people feel very happy.

"I have heard for a long time that this star Seoul is extremely prosperous. Although I haven't entered the city yet, I have already felt a thing or two."

The student said that he was standing on the bow of the boat, and he could see that many talented men and women were going out for an outing at this time.

The number of talented men and women here is far more than other places.

In addition to these, many hawkers can be seen outside Checheng.

These peddlers are also extremely clever. These talented people who go out will still buy something if they are tired and thirsty.

Such a small tip of the iceberg is enough to see how prosperous this star Seoul is.

"I have longed for this star city of Seoul for a long time. I heard that there is one more top ten talents in the city today. I hope to meet him."
