    The gift list given by Xiao Yan was by no means the ordinary gifts given at weddings and funerals.  ( ef="http: ."[.] get="_lank" . """"It only takes a genius 3 seconds to remember) It is so heavy that it even exceeds the scope of bribery and entrustment.  On the gift list, there is simply one item.  The 300,000 bonds issued based on the profits of the football market will start paying interest that year, starting from 2 cents.  The principal will be repaid in installments starting from the third year and will be repaid in four years.  Gao Qiu had never seen such a single generous gift even though he had been a member of the Imperial Guard for so many years.  The total principal and interest, after paying off the principal in the seventh year, a total of 700,000 yuan was presented to his Gao family!  Seeing Gao Qiu's moved expression, Xiao Yan looked disapproving.  He really doesn't feel bad. Money earned has to be spent.  And now he is mostly generous to others.  Printing an additional 300,000 pounds of bonds and sending them out is not worth the cost of a few cents.  What he actually has to pay for is interest of 60,000 guan per year, and after two or three years, it's up to him to decide whether he will still have to bear this debt or not.  To do great things and get help from others, you must have great courage.  This kind of grandeur is something in all aspects, and being able to spend money is considered a kind of thing.  After all, there are very few people in this world who cannot be moved by money. Everyone has a price tag.  I can't talk about anything else now. When it comes to spending money, there are few people in Bianliang City who can compare with me. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The effect is really extraordinary after spending this huge amount of money.  Gao Yanei and Gao Qiang beside him were young after all. He couldn't sit still for a while. He couldn't help but got up and went to his father's side. On the pretense of tucking his father into bed, he secretly looked at the gift list and couldn't help but gasp.  A breath of cool air.  The Gao family's wealth is only about two million yuan.  This has been enough abuse for his yameni for several lifetimes.  His father said that he controlled the entire Forbidden Army, but the money-making business of the Forbidden Army, under the auspices of those well-established families of the Forbidden Army generals, could not be snatched from his own hands, and the profits could only be divided as usual.  After more than ten years of accumulating such a fortune, his father has made a lot of money.  Gao Yanei has always felt that he is a rich man, but compared to the generosity of Xiao Xianmo in front of him, Gao Yanei can only sigh that he is far inferior.  She couldn't help but look at her father with a little more eager eyes. Not to mention other things, the financial benefits of helping Xiao Xianmo will definitely satisfy people!  Xiao Yan's money is the money of bonds instead of real gold and silver, which is also considered a benefit that is enough to impress people's hearts.  At this time of year, anyone who can subscribe to the first issue of bonds issued in Bianliang is very proud.  It has become a symbol of Bianliang's identity at this time. No matter how many people tried to subscribe for a batch, they couldn't get it.  The Gao family has been neglected for quite some time. If they had hundreds of thousands of bonds in hand, they would be able to feel proud for a while.  Not to mention that someone else had to ask someone to subscribe for this bond, but now it was Xiao Yan and Xiao Xianmo who personally brought it to their Gao family!  Once this gift list is handed out, the air in this sanatorium seems to tighten.  In the face of such a huge number, any kind of pretense and back-and-forth testing seems unnecessary.  Gao Qiu was silent for a moment and waved his hand gently.  The maid waiting at his side bowed and left. Gao Qiang still wanted to stay by his father's side, but Gao Qiu glared at him. Knowing that his father and Xiao Yan were going to say something important, he had no choice but to bow and leave.  .  In the monastery, after the irrelevant people retreated, only the gentle breathing of the three people could be heard.  Gao Qiu took a few deep breaths and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Xianmo does not follow the rules and speaks directly to people's hearts. Gao really admires If it were not for such means, Xiao Xianmo would not be able to achieve his current status."  His expression was just a smile, and he said lightly: "The Taiwei is too high-minded and looks down upon me. Since Xiao returned to the south, he has only worked hard and dedicated himself to the Song Dynasty. He is inferior to others because he does not avoid hardships and dangers.  , Xiao really did not dare to accept other compliments. " Gao Qiu seemed to be pondering the meaning of Xiao's words, and pondered for a while: "Don't avoid hardships, don't avoid hardships Pingyan does not avoid hardships.  , inspecting and sorting out the funds and financial affairs of the Forbidden Army, it would be too easy to just say "not to avoid danger"" Xiao Yan and Fang Teng looked at each other.  Xiao Yan and Fang Teng worked hard in several ways and arrived at Gao Qiu's Jingshe Jingshe today.  Since his family's future status and Zhao Ji's edict have made Gao Qiu unavoidable, he must talk to Xiao Yan about the funding and financial planning of the Imperial Army.  Rao had been mentally prepared for this, but after Gao Qiu could no longer hold back any restraint and took the initiative to bring up the topic, the two of them couldn't help but tensed up.  Both Xiao Yan and Fang Teng knew how difficult it was to get started with the Forbidden Army's financial planning, and how difficult it was to deal with such a huge interest group involved, but at this time there was no room for retreat.  If you can get Gao Qiu, who has been in charge of the Imperial Army for more than ten years,With the help of others, you will be more certain of succeeding in this extremely difficult task.  This Captain Gao, who is dying of illness, is really a very important figure!  Seeing Gao Qiu looking at him steadily, Xiao Yan was silent for a while, and then he raised his hands and said: "The Forbidden Army has been passed down from the Later Zhou Dynasty to this day, and it has been here for more than a hundred years. Every year, the country pays tribute to the army.  It's three yamen, and it's more than tens of millions. The implications are too deep and wide, how could Mr. Xiao not know it? However, the country is troubled now, and money is scarce. Although the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, the Jurchens are rising one after another, and the Western thieves are rising again.  It is also a centipede insect, dead but not stiff Moreover, there are many things happening in the country, and the country's expenses continue to increase. The country spends tens of millions every year to support hundreds of thousands of troops who cannot go into battle.  What is the bottom line? Xiao, a man who returned south, received the saint's special favor and had little involvement in the affairs of the capital. He only did not shy away from the ax and resolutely did what countless sinners did The Taiwei also received the saint's special favor.  At this moment, please give me some advice, Lieutenant Commander!" Gao Qiu listened quietly to Xiao Yan's impassioned confession without any expression on his face.  Xiao Yan said that no one from the Capital Imperial Army that he had been in charge of for more than ten years could go into battle, and he did not feel offended.  This is something that everyone in the world knows, and it is not the fault of Gao Qiu alone for so many years of misdeeds.  And for people who are about to die, it is really not worthwhile to worry about this.  After hearing Xiao Yanyi's stern words, Gao Qiu smiled disapprovingly and said feebly: "Xian Mo, as the deputy capital of the Privy Council, has been ordered to open an office to inspect the financial affairs of the two forbidden armies. How many of the forbidden troops are stationed in the two routes?"  , How much is the military's salary every year, and does Xian Mo have a realistic idea of ??the situation? " Xiao Yan looked back at Fang Teng, and Fang Teng, who had been silent next to him, raised his eyebrows and said: " Gyeonggi Road?  , on the southwestern road of Beijing, one thousand five hundred and seventy-seven soldiers were stationed in the Forbidden Army, under the command of Ma Bufan. The actual number of soldiers was 619,500, and there were more than 37,800 horses and mules in the stationed army.  The work of the craftsman, excluding the petty officials, actually has a roster of more than 35,200 soldiers each year, with more than 2.6 million shi of grain and rice, and 594,000 horse materials.  There were millions of bundles of stones and grass, and the money was given in different names: military pay, rewards, clothes, salt and vegetables, money for envoys, money for sitting, money for working on the river, money for the army, etc.  The total expenditure is 31.35 million guan youqi, and there are also money for craftsmen's materials, transshipment money, labor service hall, excluding petty officials' fortification money, warehouse money, etc., and the annual disbursement is 4.92 million guan youqi.  Strange There are a lot of documents in the Privy Council's archives, and they have changed frequently over the years. There is no one person in charge. After a comprehensive review, the student came up with this rough number. What is the truth and falsehood among them? Please tell me.  The Taiwei made it clear. " Gao Qiu looked at Fang Teng in surprise. The Doumen Forbidden Army is such a huge stand, and its establishment has changed frequently over the years. Some of the troops and horses have been transferred and are still paying various expenses in the Doumen Forbidden Army. Some even have military horses.  Even after the abolition, there are still expenses on the account books.  Cai Jing's selection of 80,000 imperial guards a few years ago was even more confusing.  It is difficult for anyone to understand it.  But the man in front of him, who was as famous as Xiao Yan, was an orthodox scholar-bureaucrat but followed a south-western man, but he gave a rough report clearly. Although he didn't know the actual number, it was more than a dozen  Years of experience also let him know that these figures are probably good. It is already extremely difficult to sum up these bad debts and come up with an exact range!  Xiao Yan looked at Fang Teng secretly, with an expression on his face that he had worked hard.  Fang Teng ignored him.  Since the establishment of the government office, Xiao Yan has done nothing else, except to call in the files and want to understand what is going on with the confusing accounts he wants to sort out.  Then looking at the various files that were constantly being sent to him, Xiao Yan suddenly felt that his claws were numb.  The Song Dynasty was already a dynasty ruled by bureaucracy. The level of detail of this bureaucracy was not only far ahead of previous dynasties, but also much higher than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties.  Any bureaucratic rule means that it is extremely trivial and detailed, with so many documents and forms that it can scare people to death.  Let Xiao Yan go in and sort out these things, it would be better to chop him to death and pull him down.  Xiao Yan, who had always said that he would use fresh methods to straighten everything out, and Xiao Xianmo, who had clearly stated that he wanted to use fresh methods, suddenly slipped away and dumped all the work on Fang Teng.  Fortunately, Fang Teng was smart and knowledgeable, so it was perfect for him to organize these account books. Once he saw an entry, it was hard to forget. In addition, those who had been collected in Dongchuanwa were basically used as accounting rooms for Xiao Yan.  The Zuo Liao Ji used by Mr. really has his own skills in numbers. He can accumulate tens of thousands without feeling satisfied at all. He can set up calculations faster than Xiao Yan himself can use a pen to calculate equations.  Together, these two surprisingly smart people only looked at the broad outlines and ignored the details. They finally calculated the approximate figures, but they were already very tired.  Now at least the situation in front of Gao Qiu is over.  This number is indeed astonishing.  At the peak of the Song Dynasty's annual fiscal revenue, it exceeded 100 million yuan, 30% of which was spent on raising officials, royal expenses and other administrative expenses, and the rest was used to support the army.  In recent years, there have been losses every year.  Capital Imperial Guard, Ji.If there is no war, there will be no way to fight. The country's annual military expenditure accounts for more than half of it.  Not to mention that more than half of the four million stone grains transported to Bianliang every year were consumed by the Imperial Guards.  Such huge expenditure every year only feeds a bunch of trash.  One can imagine how powerful the interest groups that rely on such huge financial expenditures are!  After Fang Teng reported the number, Gao Qiu leaned on the couch with a sarcastic smile.  I don¡¯t know what special preparations he made today, but such a seriously ill person still spoke clearly and logically: "More than 600,000 people, more than 30 million yuan a year, two  More than a million stone grains. Xiao Xianmo, Fang Zhongsan, do you understand what this means? How many people rely on the large sum of money every year, and how many people are in charge of the three yamen for the palace commander.  The officials are saving a lot, but they still can't do anything. Now that Xian Mo's business can make money for the family of the Forbidden Army generals, Xian Mo is naturally enthusiastic about it. However, the Forbidden Army business is the foundation of their family inheritance, and Xian Mo has created this.  Tricks are just the icing on the cake. Once they are touched, Xianmo will know what they are like Needless to say, Xianmo, when Gao was in his prime, plus Liang Yinxiang, plus Grand Master Cai, plus the official  All the trusted ministers around the family still have no choice but to accept this. The country has been in power for hundreds of years, and there are many people who are interested. Their reputations are far greater than Xianmo's, but the Forbidden Army is still the Forbidden Army Xiao Xianmo, do you really want to  Are you going to jump into this quagmire?¡± After finishing his long words, Gao Qiu had exhausted a lot of energy he had accumulated today, so he leaned on the couch and just panted.  But the sparkle in his eyes did not diminish, and he still looked at Xiao Yan intently.  Xiao Yan thought about it seriously, and finally grinned and spread his hands: "Xiao is from the south. He is originally a bachelor. Others dare not touch me, but I dare. In order to get ahead, I established myself in the Song Dynasty. Xiao  Someone dared to lead a few hundred people to cross the Baigou River and fight against thousands of Liao people. He had to escape death more than once, so he treated his life as a borrowed one  Others get promoted either by their academic reputation or family reputation, and they have to rely on their seniority to get through. But I can't. Only by doing things that others dare not do or disdain to do can I make my way up.  Opportunity. The official is using me now for financial matters. A football market is not enough to support Xiao's wealth in the next few decades. He can only make plans for the Imperial Army. Xiao has this kind of disregard for everything.  I'm not afraid, but it made the Taiwei laugh. " These naked words made Gao Qiu, who had always been calm and composed, widen his eyes.  At this moment in the Song Dynasty and in Bianliang, have you ever seen such a person?  He looked at Xiao Yan repeatedly, as if he wanted to see him to his core.  Finally, there was a smile: "Xianmo is very high-spirited, but it is far behind Gao If it were not for this three points of ruthlessness, I am afraid that Xianmo would not be able to reach the position he is today" The officials want to organize the imperial army.  Regarding financial matters, Xian Mo wanted to sort out the financial matters of the Forbidden Army. As Gao was about to die, the officials did send an order for Gao to help him a little. However, Gao was not involved in many matters in the Forbidden Army. I don¡¯t know.  Where is Xian Mo going to start checking and sorting out? As long as Gao Mou is still alive, Xian Mo will ask if he knows anything, and he will tell him what he doesn't know.  I'm sorry, I can't even help you. Please forgive me." At this time, Gao Qiu still took the stand.  Xiao Yan looked at the sick old man and quietly ground his teeth.  Now is the time to negotiate the price, but I don¡¯t know if I can impress this old man?  Gao Qiu¡¯s words are clear.  Did Xiao Yan come here just for a few words of advice from this old man?  Everyone knows the long-standing shortcomings of the Forbidden Army.  It's nothing more than getting real evidence.  But when it comes to real evidence, only those in the game have it.  The people in this game are the confidants that Gao Qiu cultivated after taking power in the third government office.  For Gao Qiu, the imperial family also had to sell some face and give up some positions among the three yamen. These are the people who know the inside story and can cooperate with Xiao Yan.  Only Gao Qiu can control them.  Now the meaning of Gao Qiu's words is that Xiao Yan can just ask him if he has anything to say. If he likes to talk, he will say it. If he doesn't like to talk, he won't. No one of his confidants, Xiao Yan, can even think of touching him.  The meaning of this asking price couldn't be more clear.  Xiao Yan and Fang Teng looked at each other. Fang Teng nodded slightly and gestured to the door.  Xiao Yan nodded slightly, indicating that he knew what was going on.  He pondered for a moment, but then changed his tone to an extremely sincere tone.  In front of Captain Gao, who is dying of illness, needless to say, he doesn¡¯t have the time to deal with you slowly.  Even if you tell a lie, you must say it as if you are telling a lie.  "The honor and favor of the Taiwei are all in one body. It is not something that has a deep foundation and is passed down from generation to generation. In order for the Taiwei's family to become a family that can be passed down from generation to generation, it can only continue in the Forbidden Army. This is also the reason why the Taiwei has held the power of the Sanyamen for more than ten years.  It's a shame But because of the high trust of the official family, the Taiwei's family can only bow in front of the Taiwei's descendants, how can the family of the Forbidden Army generals do it?Allow him to interfere with the Imperial Army again?  Although Brother Gao Shi is young and handsome, his foundation is still a bit shallow after all.  Although I have a secret position, I am afraid that I will be inactive for the rest of my life, let alone after the world brother It is not easy for the Taiwei to reach the position he has today.  The Gao family has been unknown since then. Is this what the captain wants to see?  " Gao Qiu's eyes were half-closed, and he looked like he didn't care much about what Xiao Yan was going to say. When he heard Xiao Yan say these words, he couldn't help but open his eyes. " These words really spoke to him.  In my heart, Gao Qiu's experience can basically be regarded as an inspirational story of the Song Dynasty. He did not have a serious academic title, and he was not from a military family.  Prestige is very important. Once you become an official, you want to run your family into a family that can be passed down from generation to generation and have endless wealth. This idea is even more intense for people like Gao Qiu who have worked hard from the bottom.  My family was already thin, and although my adopted son had taken up a military position, he was not actually employed. In the past, I felt sorry for my son and did not want him to suffer the hardships of actual employment, so I wanted to wait until he could not afford it now, and it was too late to support him even if he wanted to.  Now that his entire team has been idle, who will take care of his son? If things continue like this, the Gao family he has managed will disappear in one or two generations at most. If there is no variable like Xiao Yan, he will have nothing to do.  I can admit it. But now he suddenly has such an opportunity! But after all, Gao Qiu has been in power for a long time. He couldn't help but close his eyes and said expressionlessly:  Big, big disaster.  As long as future generations can keep their families safe.  Without my care, how can a little kid like Quanzi cope with those families of generals in the Forbidden Army who have passed down the tradition for hundreds of years?  Those who have followed me and my subordinates have to settle for their own destiny. No one can always have the upper hand It seems that you have the will and strength, so just work harder" Xiao Yan smiled softly and said calmly.  Said: "Lieutenant, I'm not a fool!  The Forbidden Army has been inherited for hundreds of years. How can I easily pry it away?  It's nothing more than using officials to get a piece of the imperial army's pie!  With such a huge benefit, can they all dominate?  By dividing a part of it from the hands of the Forbidden Army general family, I can explain it to the official family, which will naturally stabilize Xiao's position and leave room for future progress.  As for the Taiwei people who are helping Xiao, they have to have a foothold in the territory of the Forbidden Army. Naturally, Brother Shi will be able to gain a little foothold, and there will also be room for improvement in the future This is Xiao's original intention, and he has already understood what he said.  .  The family of the Forbidden Army generals are not fools. Someone Xiao has already led them to make a lot of windfall in the football market, so they have to repay someone in return, right?  With the help of someone under the command of the Taiwei who knew the inside story, the family of Forbidden Army generals would always be afraid that someone Xiao would actually overturn the table As for business, what else can't be discussed?  That's it. Whether the Taiwei believes it or not, it all depends on the Taiwei's thought!  " Gao Qiu really opened his eyes now. " Xiao Yan's words must not be said in public. Talking in this secret meeting is already extremely heartbreaking. For Gao Qiu, these words are also  It has the greatest degree of credibility. In Gao Qiu's opinion, Xiao Yan would never have the ability to rectify the financial affairs of the entire Forbidden Army. However, there is still room for efforts to use this as a threat to ask for some benefits from the Forbidden Army generals' family.  .As long as someone who knows the inside story of the Forbidden Army helps him, the family of the Forbidden Army generals will have to be wary. After all, the official family is standing behind Xiao, and the official family is thundering.  Angry. Even if Xiao Yan is brought down, a few people will be unlucky and everyone will suffer some losses. Instead of doing this, it is better for everyone to take a step back and show that he is making money in other ways.  His ability can make up for the losses. It is very likely that a group of people from the Forbidden Army family will take a step back to help Xiao Yan. After the other party takes a step back, he will.  If a person of this type can stabilize his position in the Forbidden Army, his son will also be taken care of, and there is still room for improvement in the future. It depends on Gao Qiang's own ability.  Gao Qiang's legacy is deeper, and he will have less worries after he passes away! In this way, Xiao Yan is indeed a rare understanding person, otherwise he would not have climbed to his current position!
