    When Ao Lie said the heroic words of expanding the army and preparing for war, preparing to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop, he immediately aroused the strong support of dozens of civil and military ministers present.  After fighting for so many years, when there is only one last obstacle left on the road to unification, who can not feel excited?  However, while their hearts were surging, the heroes under Ao Lie's command remained calm to the greatest extent. This was something Ao Lie was happy to see. He did not need mediocre ministers who agreed with him. What he needed was someone who could fill in the gaps.  A famous general who can fix leaks.  The first person to express his opinion was Tian Feng, who was famous for his righteousness: "King Yan, although our country's economic situation has improved significantly, it has not yet reached the level of squandering. Therefore, I suggest that this military expansion must be  We can't rush for success. At most, we can only expand the number of troops based on our country's annual tax revenue." After Tian Feng, the mature and prudent Xun Yu stood up and said, "Yes, it has always been a taboo in governing the country.  During Emperor Wu's heyday, he could not withstand the expansion of the country's army several times, let alone the current conditions." Ao Lie nodded and said loudly: "What you two dears said makes sense.  What do people think?" Most of the civil and military officials stood up almost at the same time, saluted Ao Lie and said, "I second the proposal." "Okay! In this case, the matter will be settled based on our country's tax for one year.  If you want to use the income to expand the army, where is Liu Ba?" Ao Lie specifically clicked Liu Ba's name while making the decision.  Historically, Liu Ba was a super geek in managing economics and finance. Now that he has joined the Northern Han camp for more than a year, it is time to test the results he has achieved.  In the middle of the queue of ministers, Liu Ba stepped out, saluted Ao Lie and replied: "Your Majesty Liu Ba is here." Ao Lie smiled and asked Liu Ba: "A certain general has handed over all the economic lifeblood of the country.  It's in your hands. Now, tell me. After your control and management, how much is our country's treasury inventory?" When saying this, Ao Lie's tone seemed very relaxed.  , he believes that with Liu Ba¡¯s talent, after a year of hard work, at least he will not let himself down.  However, Liu Ba¡¯s answer far exceeded Ao Lie¡¯s expectations.  Ao Lie was completely shocked: "This is for King Yan. In the past year, the grain reserves in our country's treasury have reached 1.8 million dans, including 350,000 dans of war horse fodder, and more than 50 million copper coins.  , there are nearly 100 million treasury bills scattered among the people, and one-fifth of the total treasury bills can be converted into cash at any time. In addition, there are also a large number of armor, weapons, flags and other military supplies.  , if the increase in the national treasury in the past year is used to expand the army, it will be enough to support the new army of 500,000 for one year of combat. "Every time Liu Ba said a word, Ao Lie's mouth would open slightly, waiting for Liu Ba.  After saying everything he wanted to say, Ao Lie's mouth was already open enough to fit an egg.  Although he knew that Liu Ba was quite good at managing the economy.  But he never expected that Liu Ba would be so outrageous!  In just one year, the entire economic lifeline of Beihan could be supported to such a high level!  In Liu Ba's words, there were two things that shocked Ao Lie.  First, the issuance of treasury bills.  This was something that did not appear on the land of China until two thousand years later, and it was actually invented by Liu Ba, and the circulation was still ideal!  Second, the treasury revenue in just one year.  It was enough to support an army of 500,000 for a year!  What a terrible proportion!  If Liu Ba is given another ten years or even more, then the economy of the Northern Han Dynasty will definitely surpass the prosperity of the Wenjing period and reach a new height in history!  After a long time, Ao Lie's open mouth slowly closed, and then opened again, confirming Liu Ba again: "Is everything you said true?" Before Liu Ba could answer, Zhong  Yao patted his chest on the side and assured: "Please rest assured, King Yan, what Zichu (Liu Ba's name) said is true. The old minister has to take stock of the treasury every month. As of the end of last month, the money and grain stocks in the treasury were the same as those of Zichu."  There is no discrepancy in what he said. "Pa - Ao Lie slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard and said loudly: "Okay! This time, Zichu has done the most good in preparing for war!"  First level, an additional salary of 200 Dan! "Any merit must be rewarded, and any fault must be punished. This is Ao Lie's fundamental philosophy in governing the country and the army. Liu Ba has made such outstanding achievements, and it is appropriate to give him an exceptional commendation.  After conferring a reward on Liu Ba, Ao Lie brought the topic back to the topic: "My lords, since our country has so much money and food, we will conscript half a million troops and order the military government and the government government to jointly recruit troops.  It will be completed within half a year, led by Gao Shun and Xu Rong, and the newly recruited soldiers will be trained. One year later, it will be time for our army to send troops to the Central Plains!" All civil and military officials stood up.Then, they all replied in unison: "I obey my orders!" After more than four hours of court meeting, Ao Lie took off his Dragon Roaring Sky Armor and put on a bright yellow dragon robe that represented the highest dignity of the Han Dynasty.  Into the harem.  The imperial palace in Yanjing is actually not too big. Compared with the east and west palaces in Luoyang and Chang'an, the scale is obviously much smaller.  At the beginning of the construction, Lu Su, who was responsible for building the palace, built the Yanjing Palace based on the principles of economy and practicality. However, Ao Lie introduced later architectural elements and styles to the Yanjing Palace, although the money spent was not enough.  Not much, but in this era, the craftsmanship of Yanjing Palace can be regarded as the pinnacle of craft gardens. At this level, Yanjing Palace surpasses all the palaces in the world by more than ten blocks.  After passing through three simple, majestic but majestic halls, Ao Lie came to his harem for the first time.  When he went on the expedition a year ago, although the palace had been built, it had not yet been officially moved in. It was not until he arrived at the Yizhou battlefield that the Yanjing Palace was officially opened under the auspices of Liu Yu.  Therefore, Ao Lie was new and unfamiliar with everything here, except for the Jiangshan Palace in the middle of the palace.  Jiangshan Palace, as the name suggests, was the place where the emperors and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty discussed national affairs. It was also one of the places Ao Lie went to most, so he was most familiar with it. As for other palaces, Ao Lie was not so familiar.  After arriving at the harem, Ao Lie saw that the entire harem was divided into five areas, one large, four small, and five. The largest area was located in the center of the entire harem and was also the highest.  There is no doubt that Ao Lie's three wives and his son Liu Kun live here.  The remaining four smaller areas are respectively surrounding the residences of Cai Yan and others. They are scattered around like stars holding the moon. They are the residences of palace maids and concubines. Of course, Ao Lie does not have concubines, so some of them are  The rooms are still empty.  Although it is the first time to come to the harem.  But a feeling of going home instantly arose in Ao Lie's heart.  Every plant, tree, and even the air here made him feel relaxed, because he knew that his wife and son had been waiting here for his return after victory.  "Father!" Just when Ao Lie was missing his three wives and sons.  Liu Kun, who was almost three years old, ran out of Cai Yan's palace with a naive smile on his face and ran straight towards the direction where Ao Lie was standing.  The few palace maids who were following Liu Kun were afraid that Liu Kun would fall, so they hurriedly trotted to follow him, bending down to protect his sides with their hands.  Seeing Liu Kun appear in his sight.  Ao Lie felt happy for a while at first, but then he became a little unhappy.  He shouted to Liu Kun who was running towards him: "Stop!" Liu Kun, who was running, heard Ao Lie's shouting and stopped for no apparent reason. His face was full of grievances. He didn't understand what he was doing.  Something went wrong that caused his father's displeasure, causing his father to shout at him.  "Why do you want to follow the prince?" Ao Lie did not answer Liu Kun's doubts.  Instead, he asked the maids guarding Liu Kun.  A palace maid standing in the front row on the left side next to Liu Kun seemed to be the leader of these palace ladies. She timidly replied: "Prince Yan, the slaves and others are afraid that the little prince will be injured, so they dare not leave even an inch."  Follow the little prince." Ao Lie walked up to Liu Kun step by step, lowered his head and asked seriously: "Did you ask them to do this?" Liu Kun shook his head quickly and said in a childish voice:  "Father, no. It was Er Niang who asked them to follow the child all the time. In fact, the child doesn't like to be followed. The child can walk on his own long ago. It's just that Er Niang has orders, and the child dare not disobey." Although Liu Kun  are still young.  But his thinking is beyond his age.  In other words, it can be said that Liu Kun has perfectly inherited Ao Lie's legacy, and his way of thinking is far beyond that of his peers.  After listening to Liu Kun's explanation, Ao Lie turned to look at the palace maid who had spoken to him before, and his tone softened: "Is that so?" The palace maid quickly nodded and said, "Prince Yan, that's indeed the case.  "Yes. The little prince was a little dissatisfied at first, but later he was afraid that Princess Zhen would be angry, so he reluctantly asked the servants to follow him." Ao Lie showed a smile, knelt down and patted Liu Kun's tender shoulder.  Said: "Remember, you will have to carry a very heavy thing on your shoulders in the future. This is your mission and your responsibility. Therefore, you must learn to be independent and strong. Don't be afraid of getting hurt. If you fall, it doesn't matter. Just stand up.  Come on, keep marching forward, and one day you will reach where you want to go." Liu Kun tilted his head and thought for a while, then straightened his head, nodded twice, and used  He patted his chest with his little hand and made a promise to Ao Lie: "Father, don't worry, the child understands, and he will get up from where he fell! The child will definitely be independent and strong, the child"In the future, I will fight on the battlefield with my father!  " Ao Lie laughed loudly, hugged Liu Kun into his arms, then stood up, lifted Liu Kun into the air, and said with a big smile: "Okay!  Father and son go into battle. You and I, father and son, have made it a promise today that we will fight side by side in the future and sweep across the world!  Conquer a huge territory!  " PS: PS: Originally this chapter was intended to be about Army Expansion II. I wrote about father and son. This also has something to do with Da Kun's mood today. At the critical moment, it was brothers who fought against the tiger, and father and son went into battle.  Soldier. During the period when his grandfather was seriously ill and hospitalized, Da Kun, his father and younger brother took turns guarding his grandfather, but some of his relatives didn't even look at each other. Da Kun really had mixed feelings in his heart, so this chapter was a bit off topic, so I just wrote it.  The chapter names have been changed so as not to delay the continuity of the story.
