    Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 123 Financial Plan of the Forbidden Army (2)[.] Fang Teng had a secret meeting with Gao Yanei in the restaurant over there, and Xiao Yan naturally had a lot of things to do.  (.Win Q coins,) Fang Teng was using his strength on the person closest to Gao Qiu, but Xiao Yan was using his strength on another person. This person was more difficult for Gao Qiu to disobey and refuse.  This person is none other than Zhao Ji.  Since the first issue of bonds was successfully sold, Xiao Yan's imprisonment has become more frequent.  According to the financial resources he currently has, except for the huge expenses incurred by the Shenwu Changsheng Army to leave Hedong, there is no need to spend much money on anything else.  It took a considerable amount of capital to raise funds from Bianliang Gaomen, but it would be a loss if it didn't go out.  Capital borrowed through financial games has always flowed to places with the highest returns.  The Song Dynasty was no exception.  The highest reward at this moment is simply being favored in front of Zhao Ji.  Xiao Yan could definitely get one or two million yuan out of the ban with one stroke, but since he wanted to be favored in front of the officials, he had to show up around Zhao Ji from time to time.  People always develop feelings after interacting with each other for a long time, and it is the same with the emperor, there is no difference.  Therefore, Xiao Yan is not afraid of working hard on himself. Today he will get 150,000 guan, and tomorrow he will get 100,000 guan.  Ever since he got the real job and was able to set up a government office and appoint staff, he has not spent much effort on it. He just used Fang Teng Zuo Liao and Gao Zhong Wushi Xingfang to name a few people in this government office. There are no specific matters.  Never did it, just kept running towards the ban.  Diao Yan, the emissary who inspected the various provinces and treasuries in the forbidden area, and Xiao Yan had become so familiar with each other that they could even laugh and joke with each other.  Privately, Xiao Yan also offered some benefits, and promised a group of insiders who were close to him that once the second issue of bonds is issued, they will be given priority to subscribe, and they will get the highest interest and the most preferential discounts.  head.  Zhao Ji also called Xiao Yanjie to join him every time he came to Yingfeng Zicai to calculate the income of his family's internal treasury and gossip.  Real money came in every few days, which made Zhao Ji, who had been poor for a long time and could only dig out money without looking in, smile. The more he looked at Xiao Yan, the more he liked it.  Moreover, Xiao Yan was born as a young reporter and has experienced a lot. He has experienced quite a lot since he came to this era.  He also has his own way of observing words and expressions, and he doesn't have the airs of a famous minister or official.  After settling the accounts, I had a chat with Zhao Ji. I found that the monarch and his ministers got along quite well with each other, and there were already some newly emerged favorites.  Today, he released another 180,000 yuan of property from the ban, half of which was exchanged for gold and silver that was kept in the treasury, and the remaining half was paid in copper coins.  Four or five carts were full.  After the delivery was completed in the provincial treasury, Zhao Ji summoned him and went to Yanfu Hall in the Forbidden City, where the emperor and his ministers chatted for a while.  In the Yanfu Hall, Zhao Ji was wearing a Taoist robe and a feather crown, looking casual and relaxed.  The expression on his face was also smiling, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.  Zhao Ji had been working hard for a while in the past few days, and had worked hard to arrange some recent troublesome matters one by one. The Shenwu Changsheng Army and the Yongning Army went out, and the government and the opposition temporarily acquiesced in sorting out the funds and financial plans of the Forbidden Army.  Liang Shicheng was beaten, and nothing happened to Cai Jing's department.  Everything went smoothly.  When you are in a good mood, you can't help but want to have leisure and enjoyment. Once you want to have leisure and enjoyment, you must spend money.  The finances of the Song Dynasty were still as full of holes as before, and there was no hope.  But fortunately, there is now a new Zhu Mian who keeps sending money to his inner treasury.  Since everything was so safe and smooth, Zhao Ji's mood was naturally not much different.  When the war against Yan came to an end, the government and the opposition were in turmoil, the finances were almost in ruins, and all aspects were in flames, it seemed that Zhao Ji had forgotten them.  Xiao Yan was granted a seat and sat under Zhao Ji.  He looked up at the official.  This trustworthy minister with handsome features has risen to prominence in Bianliang.  To be honest, Zhao Ji became more and more satisfied with it.  However, I am still a little wary in my heart, and I cannot fully confide in the likes of Wang Fu and Li Bangyan as I did that day.  Zhao Ji also felt a little aggrieved for Xiao Yan. This man from the south was good at fighting, managing money, and knowledgeable. However, he had offended too many people and was too talented at home. He would not be of much use in the future.  situation.  After sorting out the Forbidden Army's financial plan for himself, he would probably be thrown out as a scapegoat. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved for Xiao Yan.  Once he felt a little guilty towards Xiao Yan, Zhao Ji became doubly friendly and asked Xiao Yan with a smile: "Xiao Qing has been in prison again and again these days. I am worried about the money in this inner treasury."  He is not very caring, and I don¡¯t know how much the Qing family owes to the internal treasury But this kind of loyalty is rare. As long as it is done well, I will definitely support the Qing family to the end. "  Xiao Yan smiled with his face and curled his lips in his heart.  If you, Zhao Ji, don't value money, few people in the world will.  I have worked hard to earn money and send it to your inner treasury one by one.  You know every stroke, now let¡¯s clear it out!  However, he still remains respectful on his face and smiles.Said: "The saint doesn't care. These Aduwu matters are all my responsibility, but how dare I not pay attention to them. Since this month, seven deliveries have been made to the warehouses of the provinces in the forbidden area, totaling 960,000 and 3,000 strings."  During this period, there were 410,000 guan of gold and silver in the treasury, and the sum of 550,000 and 3,000 guan of Zumo and Jiaochao notes was only enough for the three divisions to maintain the situation. However, if there was a revolution, it was all supported by the inner treasury of the saint.  , such as the Shenwu Changsheng Army and the Yongning Army went out. I only regret that I am incompetent and cannot provide more financial advice to the saint. I also ask the saint to forgive me." Zhao Ji smiled and waved: "What can you do?  Managing the country's finances is also the way to be a minister. Nowadays, it is more important than serving the country with articles. However, what Xiao Qing said is not wrong. Now, if there are reforms, aren't they all supported by my internal treasury?  I will remember some of them in my heart. "These days are critical times for the Yongning Army and the Shenwu Changsheng Army to go out.  Not to mention the Shenwu Evervictorious Army, everyone from top to bottom thinks that the Shenwu Evervictorious Army does not exist. Whatever funds and equipment the Shenwu Evervictorious Army asks for, they are just perfunctory and just keep urging the Shenwu Evervictorious Army to arrive as soon as possible.  However, just supporting the Yongning Army's expedition is a huge expense.  At that time, the emperor proposed to spend 500,000 yuan first. Now it seems that it is all a fishing project carried out by those old foxes in Zhengshitang and the Third Division. The money should be taken out from the internal treasury first.  On that day, Xiao Yan went out to settle accounts for the Shenwu Changsheng Army, amounting to five to six million dollars.  The Yongning Army is right in front of Hebei. Even if it is supported by the roads in Hebei, once the town is opened, it will definitely cost a lot of money.  Now it seems that if you don't have one or two million strings in advance, it will definitely not be enough.  Zhao Ji first took out 500,000 yuan from the inner treasury, and then couldn't stop.  He kept taking money out again.  Fortunately, Sansi also squeezed out some of it, so Zhao Ji didn't jump in distress.  ¡°However, the government and the public, including Zhao Ji, are not so stupid that they want money rather than their lives.  It is inevitable that the Western Army will return to town. Hebei must have an army to guard the rising Jurchens.  Even if you don't get the money, you will have to grit your teeth to support it.  Xiao Yan kept getting money from the imperial court, and Zhao Ji held his nose and kept spending it.  This is also the reason why Xiao Yan is busy summoning Zhao Ji every time he is summoned by the Imperial Treasury. This sum of money is really important.  In the past two months since Xiao Yan received the mission from the Ying Fengtian family, he has successively deposited nearly two million coins into the inner treasury.  It has exceeded his original best promise to Zhao Ji.  But in the blink of an eye, nearly one million dollars had been taken out of the inner treasury and used to support the Yongning army's departure from town.  Shenwu Changshengjun said that he didn't care, but it should be embellished a little bit, so as not to cause any big trouble, and another hundred thousand strings.  Some of the expenses accumulated in the ban were spent on the concubine's makeup, and more than 200,000 yuan were paid out.  Zhao Ji didn't really get much left in his hands.  Seeing that the Yongning army was out, the internal treasury had to allocate at least five to six hundred thousand guan. Zhao Ji also wanted to resume some of the construction that had been stopped in the past few years. The daily expenses of tens of thousands of people were already considered frugal in the past few years.  Quite a few, the emperor doesn't care, and we can't keep doing it like this, we have to return to the past situation When there is no money in the account, there is nothing to say, everyone just endures.  Once the money is in the account, everyone's appetite is revived, and everyone is staring at this piece eagerly.  At this moment, Zhao Ji needs money more than when there was no Xiao Yan to serve in the inner treasury.  Just now Xiao Yan casually reported the figure of more than 900,000 yuan, which is already a lot.  Zhao Ji thought in his heart, no matter what, it was not enough.  He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "How much of the bonds issued by Xiao Qing have been paid out? In my opinion, the income from the operation of Qiu Shizi should be enough to repay the principal and interest year by year There is no need to  There are too many assets in the treasury. At this time, the state's needs are huge, so it is better to hand over more to the inner treasury. I naturally know that I will not let Xiao Qing lose the money" Xiao Yan smiled in his heart, but his face showed a smile.  Out of bitter color.  He hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly: "Sheng Ming is no better than the emperor. The income from Qiu Shizi's operations can indeed barely cover the repayment of principal and interest on the bonds issued in the first tranche But the bonds issued in the first tranche  , but only 5 million bonds. There must be some discounts in the bond issuance, so that people can actively subscribe, and the 5 million bonds cannot be delivered at once, and they must be collected slowly.  It is already very little to reassure these subscribing families and keep all the money in their hands. If it is any less, I am afraid that I will miss the important financial matters of the Fengtian family in the future  , I have made clear arrangements with the envoys of the various provinces and treasuries, and the sage will know that the actual receipts in the treasury in the past two months are only more than 3.2 million guan, and I have reported more than 1.8 million guan.  I have to wait until next year to issue a new bond. The maximum amount I can release from the ban this year will not exceed one million bonds. I said in front of the saint that day that I should give the Tian family 2.5 million bonds that year. Finally.  Try your best not to mess up the matter. It will be difficult for me to have a good hand at making flowers If my entrustment fails, I will ask the saint to punish you severely. Next year, I will ask the saint to choose a close friend to take over the matter in my hands. I will never hide anything.  During this period, a scandal was discovered, and I asked the capital to be hung up to fix it.?The crime of ineffectiveness.  " Zhao Ji couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment on his face, waving his hands repeatedly: "Why is this? Why is it so?  I have high hopes for the Qing family's financial management skills. How can I say that my trust is ineffective?  The Qing family has done their best to manage the country's finances. I know very well that this matter is still your responsibility, and there is no need to push it onto others" After saying a few words of comfort to his financial minister, Zhao Ji finally couldn't help but think again.  He asked: "can I receive at most one million guans this year?"  Is this the only number left?  " Xiao Yan looked deep and nodded slowly. Of course, the bonds issued in the first phase were more than the number he reported. The wealth accumulated in Bianliang is so profound that modern financial means can mobilize it. It is not something Zhao Ji could have imagined.  . In fact, no matter which dynasty in Chinese history, it can be said that the gentry is rich and the country is poor. Although the Song Dynasty is already considered outstanding compared to other dynasties, it does not fall out of this category.  In addition to serving him, Zhao Ji also single-handedly supported the Shenwu Changsheng Army's opening of a town on Hedong Road! At his place, Zhao Ji naturally sent people to check the accounts, and they were all confidants in charge of internal treasury affairs.  From ancient times to the present, there are endless ways to deal with the above-mentioned audits, and these emissaries always have ways to bribe. It is only natural to get some benefits from it, and they will never let the high-ranking emperor know the actual number of bonds.  A high-ranking official would never publicize the number of bonds he bought. Xiao Yan reported the figure of five million yuan and applied a few heavy discounts. Zhao Ji felt at ease and felt no guilt at all.  , Xiao Yan has been extremely loyal and diligent in his work. In just two months, he has sent him almost two million yuan, and there is no problem at all in fulfilling the number he promised.  There is no need to cause a stir in the world like the Southeast Ying Feng Bureau. With such financial management skills, even Cai Jing can't keep up. However, everything is easy to do when there is no money. Once you have income, people will never be satisfied.  Just hoping to get more from Xiao Yan's golden touch! Zhao Ji felt a little lazy when he saw that he couldn't expect more.  His smile dropped. He wanted to send Xiao Yan away immediately, but Xiao Yan waited until the heat was almost over, stood up and bowed deeply to Zhao Ji: " The country is in such a difficult situation, and the saint is working hard to support the country's affairs. How can I do this?  Can you feel it in your heart?  I just wish I didn't have more to use The income from the football market's operations supports the issuance of bonds, which is about this scale.  No matter how hard I try, I can't get more.  If you want to get more financial plans, you can only work hard to check the financial plans of the two camps of the Imperial Army!  After Qiu Shizi's income was in embarrassment, I was ready to start on this. I will definitely increase revenue and reduce expenditure for the saint. Within this year, millions of wealth will be produced for the benefit of the country!  ¡± ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~ As soon as he heard that there were millions more coins, Zhao Ji immediately sat up straight. He asked Xiao Yan to be responsible for checking the financial affairs of the two forbidden armies. To be honest, it was a bit impulsive at the time.  . This matter is huge, who knows what will happen. Xiao Yan just wants to move this huge black hole that swallows tens of millions of people every year, but Xiao Yan feels that he has no bottom at this time.  There was any movement from above, and Zhao Ji never urged him. However, Xiao Yan sent two million strings intensively over the past two months, which immediately whetted Zhao Ji's appetite. Xiao Yan suddenly patted his chest again.  With millions of dollars sent over the course of the month, Zhao Ji didn't care much anymore. If it worked, it would be a good thing.  Seeing Mr. Xiao's misfortune, I wish he had done this earlier, so why should I stop him? When the time comes, he, a saint, will just do nothing. I originally thought that Mr. Xiao was smart and understood this.  He was just concentrating on issuing bonds, but now it seems that he still doesn¡¯t understand the Song Dynasty well enough!  Gao Qiu of the Forbidden Army will not be able to afford it, and the Forbidden Army will have to be controlled by someone else. Let's stir up the situation. In the meantime, we can also see who can replace Gao Qiu and control the Forbidden Army, especially if he can make money again.  What an unexpected surprise! But seeing Xiao Yanyi jumping into the fire pit without any hesitation, Zhao Ji felt a little guilty and said softly: "Since it's Xiao Qing's order, just do what you want.  You have already set up a government office, hired a staff, and even issued a seal of defense. Who can stop you from doing what you want?  If there is such a generation, feel free to repay me!  " Xiao Yan's face was full of gratitude and he said: "But thanks to the saint's wordsMy subordinates will be shattered into pieces, so what should I fear?  " Zhao Ji smiled, Xiao Yan is so loyal and diligent, he always has to say a few more good words. Now his words became more and more gentle: "This matter is not easy, but if I have any support, Xiao Qing can speak.  With me sitting behind you, just rest assured.  " Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment and then bowed: "I am indeed bold enough to ask the saint for something" Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand: "Just say it!  " Xiao Yan pondered for a while, then raised his head and said: "There is really some distance between the ministers and the forbidden military.  Captain Gao of Sanya has been in charge of the imperial army for a long time, so he must be very aware of the disadvantages of the relationship.  The minister and Lieutenant Gao had different paths in civil and military affairs, and the Lieutenant was ill in the palace, so it was really difficult to ask for help.  I would like to ask the saint Chui Yun to visit Captain Gao and ask for advice on what happenedbut I don't know if this is appropriate?  " Zhao Ji was startled, Xiao Yan's idea actually hit Gao Qiu? Gao Qiu had been on the sickbed for a long time, and Zhao Ji was a little indifferent to this minister who had controlled the imperial army for him for many years. When Xiao Yan mentioned it like this, he suddenly remembered  The good thing about this minister is that Gao Qiu has been in the Forbidden Army for many years. Although he does not interfere with the generals of the Forbidden Army, he always manages a small team.  There is a need for balance between the government and the central government, so why is there no need for balance among the imperial guards? It seems that it is not a bad idea to let Gao Qiu's team take a ride on the capital's imperial guards. Although Gao Qiu is about to die,  But I still have a firm hold on Sanya, so don¡¯t think that I can be unscrupulous! And think about it again, the relationship between Xiao Yan and the generals of the Forbidden Army seems to be too deep for him to deal with.  To avoid suspicion, he went to Gao Qiu's group to deal with the group of Forbidden Army generals. This vague fear of Xiao Yan disappeared again. Moreover, because of the Qiu Shizi incident some time ago, Zhao Ji had to deal with those Forbidden Army generals.  The group is connected internally and externally, and they are well aware of their wealth and arrogance. Their arrogance was a little too arrogant for a while, and it was not pleasing to the eyes at all. Now it is the right thing to give them a little pain.  After thinking about it, Zhao Ji smiled lightly and said: "I promise you, I promise you everything!  Choose a day and go visit Gao Qing's house.  If you don't want to be rejected Who in Bianliang City doesn't know you, Xiao Xianmo?  "The implication is that the official promised to say hello to Gao Qiu first, and joked with Xiao Yan to show his intimacy. Xiao Yan smiled and bowed to accept the order. But Zhao Ji was  I feel more and more that this Nangui minister is well-informed, but the request scratches the itch in his heart as an emperor. He thinks of everything that is convenient and inconvenient to say, and he is loyal and diligent.  It's almost time to show off. A minister who was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable in the past was incompetent in governing the country and managing finances. It would be unavoidable for Xiao Yan to take advantage of both.  It's a bit too pity Zhao Ji had these thoughts in his mind. He was not a person who could hide his thoughts deeply in his heart, so he couldn't help but speak more intimate words: "  Did Imperial Concubine Yi Su summon you that day in Qiu Shizi?  " Xiao Yan was startled and apologized hurriedly. It is rare for a Jiaofang noble family to meet his own relatives. Meeting ministers without permission is a serious crime in any dynasty or generation. Although for Zhao Ji, Xiao Yan  I was almost 100% sure that the official would not take it seriously, but for a moment I was not sure what he meant by suddenly mentioning this. Zhao Ji waved his hand and said with a smile: "It is inevitable to plead guilty, so I will not punish him this time."  The Tian family also has to live a life, with one palace and one palace, and also has its own family finances.  The imperial concubine sees that you know how to manage money, and entrusts you to manage a private house for her.  It is also a reasonable thing.  The Ying Fengtian family is not just mine I have many children, so I must buy some property for them.  However, the state supplies are huge, and my family is also in a difficult situation The two concubines, I can't afford much of the dowry. Wouldn't I be wronging them in the future The concubine also prepared a dowry for her own imperial concubine.  You can just keep this matter secret. If it becomes public, I will talk to you" "These few words are purely commonplace. A king can say these words to his ministers.  . They are very close. Although Zhao Ji is easy to be ridiculous as an emperor, he still has his charm. Now he looks like a good father who cares about his daughter. Xiao Yan, who has always been calculating, can't help but feel slightly.  A little touched. At this moment, Zhao Ji mentioned the two daughters of Imperial Concubine Yisu. For some reason, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered the unparalleled beauty of Emperor Maode. However, this thought disappeared in an instant.  At this moment, how could Xiao Yan think of going to Shangzhu to be a wealthy and comfortable prince-in-law who couldn't do anything? Neither did Zhao Ji who was sitting above him?He half intended to betroth his daughter to Xiao Yan, and said with a faint smile: "I am not saying this for any other reason, just to remind you. You are responsible for serving the Tian family, and you are also responsible for inspecting and sorting out the funds and financial plans of the Forbidden Army.  It goes without saying that my national and family affairs are all on your shoulders. You must not betray my trust and do something practical for me." Xiao Yan solemnly accepted the order!  , and asked Zhao Ji with a straight face: "Sage, if any corruption is discovered in the finance and finance ministers of the Forbidden Army, do they have the right to punish the generals of the Forbidden Army?" Zhao Ji pondered for a moment and waved his hands decisively: "  You are the Vice-President of the Privy Council, and the Privy Council is in charge of the affairs of the world's military. How can you not have the power to make decisions? I will suspend the general's duties as soon as a letter is sent to you. This is all within my scope.  Just do your best!" Relying on the transfer of nearly two million yuan of goods to the inner treasury, relying on Zhao Ji's desire for more goods, and relying on the almost desperate financial situation of the Song Dynasty.  In addition, the Shenwu Changsheng Army and Yongning Army have gone out, and the political situation in the DPRK is unstable.  If Gao Qiu can't afford it, the imperial army will definitely have to beat it to make it smooth and smooth.  The most important thing is that Xiao Yan, the minister who returned to the south to test the waters and offend others, would not have a big shock to the court even if he sacrificed his life in the end. Zhao Ji finally made up his mind and let Xiao Yan take action to stir up the chaos of the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.  water!  Xiao Yan solemnly accepted the order: "I dare not try my best!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The camp where the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army is located is already showing signs of being busy.  It has only been less than half a year since they settled in Bianliang, and these soldiers and horses, who have returned from hundreds of battles in Yandi, are preparing for another expedition.  It is not an easy task for tens of thousands of people to travel to Hedong.  The amount of military supplies and supplies to be prepared is astonishingly huge.  Mules and horses are especially important for marching.  Almost half of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army camp is preparing for these.  The mules and horses need to be slapped again and the harnesses need to be prepared.  After half a year in Bianliang, these mules and horses had become fat and strong, but when there was less activity, they had to press and lift the horses again, and this time they went to Hedong to prepare for battle at any time, so that the horses could get used to the sound of fighting with golden drums in the battle formation.  When drafting horses, mules or donkeys, the proportion of fat in the fat should be appropriately reduced to make it easier for them to walk long distances.  The total number of horses, mules and horses in the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army is staggering, taking up a lot of manpower to take care of them one by one.  The Jinshuiqiao Camp was not large enough to stage such a big scene, so they went to the horse farm used by the Forbidden Army outside the city to make these preparations.  The maintenance of long-distance vehicles is also a technical job. In this era, there are hundreds of various parts and utensils on a large vehicle. Once something is left aside for a long time, it becomes incomplete and everything needs to be re-prepared.  A special area was set up in the camp for goldsmithing, and a furnace was set up to make the missing iron parts of the cart.  Timber was constantly being brought in, either sawed or planed, making the camp look like a workshop.  The preparation of vehicles, mules and horses is the most labor-intensive. The rest is nothing more than putting the allocated military equipment into the warehouse on time. The accompanying grain and fodder are also put into the warehouse, packaged in an easy-to-carry manner, and then loaded into the truck for transportation.  .  Big bags of rice and wheat, stacks of horse materials, arrows, weapons and crossbows from the arsenal were packed into boxes and then continuously transported into the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army.  Prepare to travel with the army for thousands of years to the east of the river.  Although the court has been perfunctory about the funds to open the town.  But it doesn't mean that the imperial court will give nothing to the Shenwu Victory Army.  Most of the military supplies and equipment are readily available in Bianliang's arsenal, which have been accumulated over the past generations. You can have as much as you want.  Once you get the transfer documents, send some money documents to the person in charge of the arsenal, and you can choose from them.  Naturally, we will not want those military equipment that are too old to be in the bottom of the treasury. The most sophisticated military equipment in the past few decades is from the Shenzong Dynasty. Shenzong used Wang Anshi's reform to have some side effects and spent money on weapons.  With great effort, after spending countless amounts in the war with Xixia, there is still a huge stock in Bianliang.  The person in charge of the arsenal who had received the bribe did not hide his secrets. He pointed out this trick, and the sharp weapons of the military and state were transported into the Shenwu Victory Army one by one.  As for grain, there are quite a lot of stocks in several large warehouses around Bianliang.  As long as the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army can bring it with them, no matter how much they can give, they can give it away.  However, the food supply of Shenwu Evervictorious Army will still mainly depend on Hedong Road in the future.  Hebei roads can also handle part of it, but transporting it all from Bianliang is too expensive.  Just carry enough to reach the east edge of the river and that's about it.  Although the Song Dynasty is in distress at the moment, its finances are almost bankrupt.  But the empire's savings over the past century are still considerable at this moment.  In real history, after the Jingkang Rebellion, Zongze stayed behind in Bianliang. Relying on the grain reserves in Bianliang that had been looted and scattered several times, he was still able to support the hundreds of thousands of rebels gathered near Bianliang, and he had the ambition to cross the river.  Although there is no hope for the money to open the town, purely in terms of materials, the allocation to the Shenwu Evervictorious Army is still more than enough!    To be precise, at this moment, the Song Empire, due to decades of accumulated abuses, the inherent shortcomings of some hasty rules and regulations at the founding of the country, and the addition of an absurd, extravagant and easy emperor, are now similar to a company whose cash flow has been cut off.  In terms of material strength alone, it is still far ahead of this era!  Although so many supplies have been allocated, in the eyes of outsiders, the Shenwu Changsheng Army suffered a big loss when they went out of town this time.  An army can't open a town just by relying on supplies.  In terms of these preparations in Bianliang alone, it will cost money to actually receive the allocated materials.  It also costs money to transport these materials into the camp and hire laborers.  It is not possible to prepare vehicles, mules and horses, and to hire servants to accompany the army, even if there is no money.  When we arrived at the land east of the river, we set up a large camp, built forts, marched and fought, all without money.  Usually, the imperial court allocates funds, and the general who handles the matter can naturally make a fortune from it.  After leading the army for several years, and handling a lot of funds, the family fortune increased, and the family became a family of generals for several generations.  And all the Shenwu Evervictorious Army is doing now is to compensate for their losses.  Everyone thought that the generals of the Shenwu Evervictorious Army had made a fortune in Yandi, and now they were just clinging to their family fortunes.  It is hoped that after the trip is completed, the sky is high and the emperor is far away in the land east of Hedong. In the future, military expenditures will be allocated one after another, which can make up for it.  But everyone with a discerning eye understands that even if the imperial government's finances recover from the future, there may not be much money available for the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army.  On the contrary, I hope that this military horse can be weakened by a few percent.  Not only can the current leading general not expect to get his money back, but he can't say for sure how many years he can stay in this position!  It is said that there are two generals in the Shenwu Changsheng Army. One is a humble military attache in the Western Army, and the other is promoted from the brave warriors in Hebei.  They are not the gates of generals in the past dynasties, and there is no foundation at all.  Moreover, because of Xiao Yan, he was also suspected and wary, so he could only obediently go out of the town, holding his nose and admitting everything.  People in the know felt that they were not worth it, but at the same time they were a little bit amused.  There will be generals. If you don¡¯t have any foundation, you can climb over those generals just by being able to fight two bad battles. It¡¯s not that easy!  Although it looks like this from the outside, the Shenwu Changsheng Army has not been greatly affected. Instead, because of this busyness, it has regained some of its former atmosphere in Yandi.  After all, this military horse was fought in a bloody battle and had little to do with the Song Dynasty.  Once you decide to go to the edge of the country and make a name for yourself, the high-spirited spirit in the army will naturally burst out.  There was even a bit of anger and excitement, and the court treated us like this. Only when we got to the border did we know who the Great Song Ping Fan was.  I want us to disintegrate on our own, but you won't let you do what you want. When it comes time to use us to fight, we are now calculating the consequences of driving us out of Bianliang today!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~ Han Shizhong and Yue Fei patrolled the camp with their swords in hand.  These days, they have regained their appearance in Yandi. Once they go out, they wear armor.  The guards behind him were all in iron armor and had long swords, following closely.  The iron tie tied tightly around the chin.  It's like a battlefield patrol atmosphere.  During his inspection of the camp, Yue Fei looked around with a cold face, and everyone he saw was solemn.  Everyone knows that when General Xiaoyue was stationed in Bianliang, he still had some sympathy for everyone's laxity and violation of military rules.  Once they are pulled to the border, it is equivalent to wartime, and there is no mercy in this military law.  If someone offends him, no one will be easy to forgive.  Two days ago, General Xiaoyue secretly drank alcohol in the camp of his brother Niuyuhou. After being discovered, the 80th Army beat him with a stick.  Even a strong man like Niu Yuhou was beaten until he lay on the couch for two days, not to mention the others.  His eyes swept over him, and if he had something to do, he would concentrate more on his work. If he had nothing to do, he would stand solemnly, standing upright, without even daring to take a breath.  Han Shizhong is much gentler. When patrolling the camp, he can say a few words to anyone he sees.  He is the least arrogant person and knows many people.  You can speak a few village dialects anytime and anywhere.  A few words of conversation can make a group of people laugh loudly.  The depression in the chest can be reduced a lot.  Han and Yue patrolled the camp every day, and the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army regained its vigor in a short period of time. The army was both solemn and high-spirited.  We are all fighting in the Yan area, so what is there to fear in the area east of the river?  As long as Xiao Xianmo still has a foothold in Bianliang, he will always take care of the army and horses he brought out.  At that time, it will be nothing more than some fighting, fighting for victory on the battlefield, who will the Shenwu ever-victorious army be afraid of?  In Bianliang, I felt that I had no place to live, and everything was unfamiliar to me.  When we arrived at the border, we felt like a fish in water. Only then did we let the people in Bianliang know that the Song Dynasty had defeated our magical and ever-victorious army!  After patrolling the camp, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei turned around and retreated to the left and right sides. Han Shizhong took off his iron helmet and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I went into battle with my whole body on. Once I carry these things around the camp, my neck will feel  SourOld HanThe name can only be taken on horseback. It seems that the sooner you leave Bianliang, the better!  Pengju, why don't we swap, I'll set off for Hedong first, and you can sit back and lead the team to follow How about?  " Yue Fei shook his head: "Since Xian Mo arranged it like this, how dare I not go first?  Tomorrow I will set off secretly first, and brother Liangchen will follow soon after. According to Xianmo's arrangement, are you afraid that there will be no battles in the east of the river in the future?  " Han Shizhong nodded: "You have a more delicate temperament, and you are better at standing in the front.  Everything has to be started from scratch. There are so many things. I, Old Han, am not that impatient. When the team arrives, I will eat your ready-made food" The two of them looked at each other, both wanting to avoid what happened next.  However, there was no way around it. Han Shizhong pondered for a moment and lowered his voice: "Is Zhen Liuchen ready?  " Yue Fei nodded: "Zhen Liuchen and the daughter-in-law of the Guo family will lead Xianmo with a hundred marten hat guards and a hundred Guo family members. They will also choose two hundred soldiers from the Yan region who are familiar with the mountains and rivers of the Yunnei states. They have already gone ahead.  Take one step and wait outside the city.  I will join them after taking the lead and arrive at Hedong earlier.  Zhen Liuchen and the daughter-in-law of the Guo family left the border and arrived in the Yunnan states to recruit Liao people into exile and prepare for action.  " Han Shizhong asked again: "Are the troops left by Xian Mo ready?  " Yue Fei nodded again: "Two hundred capable men have been selected, and Zhang Xian has already taken them.  In addition to the remaining two hundred Diao Mao guards, the four hundred guards around Xian Mo are enough for Bianliang.  " The two exchanged a few words, and both felt embarrassed. They were both generals of the Song Dynasty, but the two things they arranged were both shady. Han Shizhong sighed and patted Yue Fei on the shoulder: "Pengju, I know you  I've been studying for a few years, so I'm afraid I feel awkward in my heart.  But you have to understand that the imperial court is asking the Shenwu Changsheng Army to go to the east of the river to die!  How many divine and victorious armies did the Song Dynasty still have?  With the remnants of the Yongning Army and the defeated generals, and with the sullen Western Army, once the Jurchens move south, it will be too late for all the princes in power to cry!  If Xianmo hadn't reached out and took over this burden, we still don't know what would have happened!  Why should we soldiers who have fought for our country be so unlucky?  As long as the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army can be preserved, it will only be a good thing for the Song Dynasty!  " Yue Fei nodded with a sullen face, the muscles on his face extremely stiff: "I know this truth The Jurchens are strong, and it is also right for Zhen Liuchen and the female son of the Guo family to surrender and accept the rebellion to contain the Jurchen Tatars.  Moreover, we have some sort of pact with the Jurchen Tatars. They can do things that are inconvenient for us to do.  This was all so that the Song Dynasty would not follow in the footsteps of the Liao people.  I understand that a real man acts with authority and authority.  I will also do my bestXian Mo worked hard to maintain the Shenwu victorious army. How can I not feel it in my heart?  Brother Liangchen, I was created by Xian Mo. I won¡¯t have any other ideas. You can rest assured.  " Han Shizhong smiled: "You are so close to Xianmo, so you are different from ordinary people I only hope that Xianmo can gain a firm foothold in Bianliang, and our Shenwu Changsheng Army will finally have a mother, so that we will not fight alone  Our achievements, I am afraid that only Xian Mo takes it to heart in this Song Dynasty!  " Yue Fei did not answer this sentence and just bowed his head silently. Han Shizhong looked at Yue Fei and smiled in his heart. " Yue Fei can be said to be invincible even when he steps on the horse. He is upright, has strict military discipline, and can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. He can be called the seed of a born famous general.  . But after all, he is a little simpler. Maybe he has never been in the big dyeing vat of the Song Dynasty, and some things just can't be turned around. He is from the Western Army, and he knows that the system of the Western Army has gradually collapsed in recent years.  He managed all the roads in Shaanxi into an independent kingdom. As soon as Xiao Yan took charge of the establishment of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, he almost raised the Shenwu Changsheng Army as a private soldier. In this world, Xiao Yan puts interests first.  Yan Jiejie can bring benefits to the Shenwu Changsheng Army. As long as he does not rebel, he can always maintain a firm foothold in Bianliang. I am afraid that the Shenwu Changsheng Army will always be loyal to him. Xiao Yan thinks that Han Shizhong can do it.  Understand something. In the name of Zhen Liao, Zhen Liuchen and Guo Rong are going to start a war with the Jurchens in the areas east of the river.  Xiao Yan, who spends money and can make money, will be able to stabilize his steps at least for a period of time. Although the princes in the court have not taken the Jurchen Tatars seriously now, once the war on Hedong Road breaks out, the Jurchen Tatars will be involved.  I mean, when the time comes, they will be more afraid than anyone else! At that time, they can only rely on the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army outside, Xiao Yan of Bianliang, to rely on the Great Wall! With his position stable, Xiao Yan can carry out many things.  Han Shizhong could see clearly that Xiao Yan was never satisfied with his current position. He just wanted to climb higher and gain more power! Even so, Han Shizhong had a clear conscience. Starting a war on Hedong Road would be a threat.  The Jurchens faced the pressure from Hebei and separated part of it, which was greatly beneficial to the national defense of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Shenwu always won.??Continuous growth is also a thing of great benefit to the Song Dynasty.  When the Jurchens were strong, once they had digested the huge Liao Kingdom they had annexed, tens of thousands of cavalry went south.  The entire Song Dynasty, including the Western Army, would be hard-pressed to win!  The stronger the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army is, the more likely the Song Dynasty will be able to block the Jurchen Tatar cavalry on the battlefield in the future!  Yue Fei took orders for this reason.  Although Xiao Yan acted a little unscrupulously, it was mostly something that was of great benefit to the Song Dynasty.  " This is true for public affairs, but Han Shizhong also has his own thoughts privately.  The current situation in the Song Dynasty may not last much longer.  There will inevitably be great changes in the world.  It¡¯s hard to say what it will be like in the future.  But the days when military officials were humble and humble may be gone forever.  He, Han Shizhong, had spent half his life in the service of his subordinates. Although his appearance was rude and uncivilized, he, Han Shizhong, still wanted to become a general!  It seems that only Xiao Yan can bring these things to him now.  Since Xiao Yan can continue to bring him Han Shizhong benefits, and what he does can basically be regarded as having a clear conscience - I, Han, can always straighten his spine when killing Tatars on the border?  Then why don¡¯t you serve Xiao Yan wholeheartedly?  After leaving Xiao Yan, I, a bird-general who only climbed up from being an envoy, was nothing in the eyes of the people in Bianliang!  In the central military tent, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, the two generals of the Shenwu Evervictorious Army, each thought about their own thoughts and were silent for a long time.  Finally, Han Shizhong patted Yue Fei heavily on the shoulder: "Pengju, you are leaving tomorrow. I will make an exception tonight. I will buy you a farewell party! Wait until I, Old Han, arrive in Hedong!" Yue Fei raised his head with a hard expression on his face. Once he is sure to go out,  .  His mind was much calmer, and he was less at a loss when he was delayed in Bianliang.  He immediately smiled and said: "How can you violate military rules for me? There is no need to drink. One day, I will fight with the Jurchen Tatars on the Hedong Road. If I succeed in front of the battle, I will be rewarded by the court. I will get drunk with Brother Liangchen again justifiably! No matter what  "It's always right to kill the Tatars!" Han Shizhong also laughed: "That's right, no matter what, it's always right to kill the Tatars! As long as Xiao Xianmo is here, we can kill the Tatars with peace of mind!"  At this time, Yue Fei finally showed a trace of concern on his face.  Although he was single-handedly promoted by Xiao Yan, what Yue Fei usually doesn't want to show is his close relationship with Xiao Yan.  His current status and the fact that the sergeants in the army still have no complaints about his strict military discipline requirements and willingly accept them are all brought about by him taking the lead in fighting countless times to kill the enemy.  It wasn't until he was about to travel far away and thousands of miles away from Xiao Yan that he showed his gratitude and concern for Xiao Yan: "We are going out, can Xiao Xianmo stand here in Bianliang? Fighting on the border, the enemy is stabbing one after another.  Just fight with guns. Xian Mo is in Bianliang, which is ten times more dangerous than us If it weren't for Xian Mo, how would I, Yue Fei, have such a powerful and ever-victorious army?" Han Shizhong was startled, Xiao  Yan is now on the cusp of the storm, how could he not know?  The mission he received was to deal with this huge interest group that had existed in the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years.  No one can say what will happen in the future.  In the end, he could only scratch his head and smile: "My brother, don't tell lies. If anyone were to change places with Xianmo, ten out of ten would die But Xianmo I, old Han, really  Not sure, maybe Xianmo can really break through We are on the east side of the river and getting things done is the greatest help to Xianmo Pengju, you and I can kill the Tatars with peace of mind, listen.  Xianmo ordered the arrangement! ¡± !# cente
