Chapter 1782? Coping with unknown crises
In the imperial study, Bibi Dong had already left.
The people sitting next to Xiao Tianyang now are Xiao He, Fan Li and Wei Liao.
Although Xiao He is the leader of the civil service, he still cannot do without the support of the other party when fighting in the local area.
As for Fan Li...the most important thing in fighting a war is money.
As long as they have enough money, they can provide a steady stream of logistical supplies to frontline soldiers.
Wei Liao is even simpler.
He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, full of strategies, good at layout, and is also in charge of the logistics supply line for frontline soldiers.
If Wei Liao didn't come, why should Xiao Tianyang put him in the position of Minister of War.
"Do you all understand what I said?"
Xiao Tianyang had already informed the three people on the court of his thoughts, so he asked this question.
The three of them looked at each other, and finally Xiao He took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, have the enemy's movements been identified?"
Xiao Tianyang shook his head and said: "They are now keeping quiet, so the Tianwu Dynasty is naturally at a disadvantage in this matter."
He was silent for a moment and then added: "However, of the five kings of the Kingdom of War God, only three have appeared now."
"In addition, not even one affiliated force from Rune Continent, Elemental Kingdom, or other Void camp has shown up."
"If they want to place the main battlefield in the God Realm, then the competition between the plain area and the secret area will not be hasty."
"Secondly, if they intend to fight us decisively, they should have responded after Kankuli failed."
"But what's the result?"
"They didn't make any moves. On the contrary, their behavior of shrinking the defense revealed their intentions."
"Furthermore, if they really focus on the God Realm, our preparations will not suffer any loss."
Xiao Tianyang took advantage of his clear thinking and continued: "The following three points are my strategic policy."
"First, I will not transfer any legions back from the God Realm."
"Second, increase the number of defensive corps in various locations by half, and increase military pay by [-]%."
"Third, relying on the outermost line of defense, the smaller the circle, the stronger the defense must be."
He raised his head and looked at Xiao He and the others, and said in a deep voice, "Do you have any opinions on this?"
Wei Liao pondered for a moment and said: "If we don't call back the troops from the God Realm, there will only be nine legions in the Tianwu Dynasty..."
"I have to say that the combat power is somewhat stretched."
Fan Li asked: "Does the Ministry of War have any candidates for a new regiment commander?"
Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of War has no new candidates for the time being."
"However, we can transfer commanders from the old legion to form a new legion."
Xiao Tianyang knew that Wei Liao must know the rules for establishing a new legion, so he made this suggestion.
Therefore, he asked curiously: "Who do you have in mind?"
Wei Liao cupped his hands and said: "Report to the Emperor, Sun Bin, Zhang Han, Long Qie and Meng Tian meet all the conditions."
Xiao Tianyang pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, let them return to the imperial city quickly."
"The names of the new legions will be the Comet Legion, the Blood Knife Legion, the Falcon Legion and the Ridge Legion."
Wei Liao stood up and cupped his hands and said, "No."
Xiao Tianyang waved his hand for the other party to sit down, and at the same time said: "The number of legions in the territory has increased to twelve."
"Although it is still not enough to defeat the enemy, it is more than enough to stop the enemy from advancing."
He asked a little unsafely: "What do you think?"
Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "It mainly depends on the progress of the Ministry of Industry."
"If they can complete the layout of the perimeter within ten days, they should be able to serve as the enemy's frontline."
"But if the time is delayed until ten days, the result will not be known yet."
Xiao Tianyang pondered: "Then let the Ministry of Industry start construction from the periphery, and at the same time hire low-level soul masters to assist on the front lines."
"Wages can be increased appropriately..."
He looked at Fan Li and asked, "Mr. Fan, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Fan Li's expression turned bitter, and then he said: "An increase of [-]% from the original basis will be the limit of the national treasury."
Not long after he took over the household department, he took on a big task.
Nowadays, the Tianwu Dynasty's treasury has just improved, but Xiao Tianyang's understatement has cut off [-]% of the harvest.
However, in addition to knowing how to do business, he also knew that the current situation was not something Xiao Tianyang could control.
Besides, there is nothing wrong with the other party’s plan.
At least he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
It's just that he also has to control Xiao Tianyang to a certain extent.
Otherwise, as soon as the battle is over, the Ministry of Finance will be in a mess again.
He can solve problems and make money.
However, even if this is the case, it does not mean that he is a cornucopia.
There is a war to be fought, and money has to be broken into two and spent.
It's not that he, Fan Li, is stingy, nor is he targeting anyone, it's just a matter of fact.
Xiao Tianyang then chatted with the three people about related topics, mainly around how to operate in the later stage.
Of course, the forward positions are left to the major legions.
What Xiao Tianyang and the others need to do is not to hold back and ensure a continuous supply of frontline supplies as much as possible.
Secondly, Xiao He wants to call on civilian soul masters to go to the borders everywhere.
Of course they are not going to participate in a frontal battlefield game.
To be honest, it would be useless if they went there, it would be like giving it away for nothing.
However, if a city is to be inhabited, folk masters must be indispensable.
Furthermore, Douluo Continent itself has not been fully developed, so the other three continents are completely virgin lands.
How many undiscovered wealth, unrecorded creatures, and unexploited resources are there?
If the folk soul master's gain on Douluo Continent is one, then the gains from the other three continents he went to are at least two.
Of course, high gains mean high risks.
It's just that Xiao Tianyang once said that being a cultivator is a profession in which you will retreat if you don't advance.
If you want to live a peaceful life, just stay in a safe city.
But if you want to be successful or become stronger, then resources are essential.
This is why the Hunter Guild exists, and it is even more popular throughout the continent.
There is no oppression or exploitation, it is all based on voluntariness and ability.
This topic took Xiao Tianyang and others more than three hours from start to finish.
However, their meeting did not end there.
Xiao Tianyang took the opportunity of their arrival to discuss the recent developments in the dynasty.
Today, the Prime Minister's Office is the direct manager of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Industry.
The Military Machinery Pavilion is responsible for some matters of the Ministry of War, and other matters report directly to Xiao Tianyang.
Yushitai mainly manages the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Etiquette, but some of its functions are directly responsible to Xiao Tianyang.
And now Xiao He, who is in charge of the third department, is present, and Wei Liao, the Minister of War, is also there, plus Fan Li, a money bag.
Why didn't Xiao Tianyang take this opportunity to find out the details?
Although he handles official documents every day, he spends most of his time familiarizing himself with various government affairs.
But what others see may not be what you see.
At least they can definitely dig into something deeper.
If Xiao Tianyang can learn from them, it will definitely be of great help in government affairs.
As for Xiao He and others, they naturally have no objections to this.
If it were in peacetime, that hard-working king would definitely make them helpless.
But if it is during the period of external expansion, then a king's attitude depends on how far he can go.
In the past, they only knew that Xiao Tianyang was very powerful, very charismatic, and extremely charming.
In addition, they disagreed with Xiao Tianyang's political ability.
Now, not only have their views on this changed, but they are also very willing to see Xiao Tianyang learn more.
He does not need to be proficient, just aware.
Therefore, they naturally knew everything about it and talked about it endlessly.
