"Where is Ling Zhen?"

"I'm here"

"How are our army's artillery prepared?"

"Report to the emperor, the artillery production line of our Ordnance Department has begun to be fully started, focusing on the production of heavy field artillery and mountain mortars, as well as the production of their ammunition. The production of naval artillery has basically stopped. After this month, twenty heavy artillery has been produced, and seventy mortars have been produced. The stored ammunition is less, only half a month of consumption. Other weapons and armor are also increasing their production efforts. In the past month, we have produced weapons and armor that are sufficient to be equipped with 10,000 heavy cavalry and weapons and armor that are sufficient to be equipped with 20,000 swords and shields. Other equipment has not yet been started. " Ling Zhen replied in a good manner.

"Yes, but your production speed is still too slow now. You must speed up the work. I don't want my soldiers to have no weapons available and no armor to defend themselves at this time next year."

"Yes, the emperor, don't worry, I will speed up and ensure that the task is completed."

"The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works must cooperate fully with the Ordnance Department. Whether they want people, goods, or money, you must supply them as soon as possible."

"Yes, the emperor" Liu Shihai, Minister of Revenue, and Xu Liang, Minister of Works, came out to Yingsheng.

"Xu Liang, how are your land tillers, trolleys, and rice transplanters prepared really well?"

"Return to the emperor, the cultivated land machine, the multi-carrying truck, and the transplanting machine have been made one thousand of them, and they have been distributed to the various maintenance chiefs in the Gyeonggi area. Our Ministry of Works is still increasing its production efforts and producing as much as possible these new agricultural tools."

"Okay, whether it is the Ministry of Works or the Ordnance Department, all the craftsmen have worked hard this year because the situation is tense this year. I will double my wages this year and tell them not to be afraid of suffering, and I will not let them down."

"Yes, the emperor"

"Ministry of Revenue"

"My minister, Liu Shihai is here"

"How are the preparations for military supplies, food and grass really needed?"

"Reporting to the emperor, almost all the food and grass paid by the autumn tax were piled up in the warehouses in the suburbs of Beijing. I divided half of the reserved grain and grass from various places and started to transport it to the warehouses in the suburbs of Beijing. In addition, the departments under the Ministry of Revenue of Chen are purchasing grain and grass all over the country. Now, all the grain and grass collected in the suburbs of Beijing can meet the emperor's 200,000 army, and it will be used for three months in wartime."

"After the tax revenue of summer and autumn this year comes, all food and grass, except military supplies, shall not be distributed. All the public grains that the ministers should issue will be sold into cash, and the market price will be increased by 10% to purchase pigs in the hands of the people and make jerky meat. If the people have excess stored grains in their hands and want to sell them, your Ministry of Revenue will purchase them based on the loopholes in the military rations, but don't let me hear the people's complaints about your forced military rations."

"Yes, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to what the emperor wants."

"Ministry of War"

"The old minister is here"

"Zhou Aiqing, all artillery soldiers are modified and equipped with the rattan armor purchased by Dali Kingdom. Remove the heavy iron armor. Each person only wears a narrow-edge single knife. Try to reduce their own burden and increase their artillery training efforts. All artillery soldiers must be able to skillfully control the use of heavy artillery and mortars, increase military expenditure, and give the soldiers extra meals. Make sure they can eat five meals of meat a month. You must remember that you must not be soft-hearted to them during training. The soft-heartedness on the training ground is irresponsible to them on the battlefield."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the old minister is now called the Living King of Hell by all the soldiers." Zhou Tong's joke is so cold.

"Hahaha, that's right. Sweat more during practice and less bleeding during war. What's going on with the medical soldiers and Lin Chong?"

"Report to the emperor, the medical soldiers have screened out 5,500 people and have begun to train according to the emperor's requirements. Lin Chong selected 3,000 people for training a while ago, but six hundred people have withdrawn in just half a month."

"Did they not hold on or did they not meet the requirements?"

"There are some who can't hold on, but not many, only a few dozen people, and most of them failed to meet the requirements."

"Lin Chong speeds up his progress. His soldiers must be guaranteed to be about 500 people, and all the soldiers in the entire army are for him to choose. And, you must solemnly tell him that he and his soldiers will be the first soldiers to enter the battlefield."

"Yes, the emperor, don't worry, the old minister will personally supervise Lin Chong to train those little lambs every day in the future, but the emperor, I don't know what number our army will give, what treatment, and what equipment standards are."

"The equipment and the Ordnance Department directly provide special equipment. After the rest, you and Ling Zhen will come to the imperial study room to see you."

"It's the Emperor"

"Imperial Hospital"

"I'm here"

"Your Imperial Hospital has a large amount of golden sore medicine, and arranges five imperial doctors who are proficient in orthopedics and sword injuries to teach the imperial guards to receive medical rescue from the battlefield. You will arrange for you to go back and discuss with Zhou Aiqing."
