Bao Zheng Jinshi and the first, was appointed as the Dali judge, as the magistrate of Jianchang County, this matter did not splash much waves, and soon drowned in the sea, after the court was busy with the examination and the palace examination, the topic was placed on the official. The official family is eighteen years old this year, and there is not even a concubine in the harem, well, the ministers are not concerned about this, the key is the queen, which is related to the country's social affairs.

After some hesitation, the courtiers joined forces. In the end, there is still a word called "the law does not blame the public", if you are unlucky, you still have a companion, cough.

At the court meeting the next day, the official said slowly: "I have seen the performance of the Qing family, and I have to say that you care so much about me, so that I have some... Creeps. ”

Civil and military officials: "......"

The official hasn't finished speaking, "Horror, you did remind me." ”

The hearts of all the civil and military officials have been mentioned halfway, and the officials often pant when they speak, and they don't hear the officials say that he agrees to make the queen, so it's not good to put their hearts back in their stomachs. But even if they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by what the official said next.

"It's been ten years, it's time to attack Liao."

Civil and military officials: "......!! "How the hell do these two things come together! And can we do some foreshadowing before talking about such a heavy incident? What about another 10 years? Ten years ago, oh, at that time, the official family became the prince, how did it get involved with the Liao State? They don't know at all!

For a while, all the civil and military officials shouted in their hearts, "each other is born from the heart", and the expressions on their faces were not controlled, and they all looked so distorted.

Fortunately, the official family explained their confusion: "Ten years ago, when I was the first prince, I knew that I was worried about my father's worries, and secretly swore that I would surrender to the Liao Kingdom in ten years, and now it is time." ”

Civil and military officials: "......" so it is "secretly swearing"? No wonder they don't know!

Wait, that's not the point, right? The first emperor was worried about the Liao country, but it wasn't such a worrying law. Speaking of this, we have to mention the "Lanyuan Alliance", in the first year of Jingde (1004 AD), the Liao Dynasty led the army to approach the Yellow River on the bank of the Yellow River, threatening the capital Bianliang, and soon after there was the "Lanyuan Alliance", the Lanyuan Alliance ended the 25-year war between Song and Liao, and it was also the beginning of the Song Dynasty to pay the New Year's currency in exchange for peace. This sounds not only not worthy of boasting, but it is also worthy of contempt, but in fact, the expenditure of the annual currency is less than 1% of the cost of using soldiers, which saves the Song Dynasty a huge amount of war expenditure, and avoids the excessive conscription caused by the perennial garrison of heavy troops and the pressure of taxation by the imperial court. In addition, the opening of trade on the Song-Liao border also enabled the Song Dynasty to earn back the annual coins in the trade between the two countries. Therefore, Zhenzong not only did not feel ashamed of this matter, but was still very proud, and he was not worried about the immortality of the Liao Kingdom, so he would not die.

So the officials, if we want to provoke a war between the Song and Liao countries, and if we want to be famous, we don't have to open our eyes and talk nonsense!

Wait, that's not the point, right? The point is to start a war with Liao!

The civil and military officials reacted that they had to be admonished, but as soon as they opened their mouths to make the official think twice, the official blinked his eyes and asked a question that seemed to be unrelated: "Do you know the total number of war horses in Liao today?" ”

The words of the civil and military officials were all choked in their throats, and they were almost choked to death.

And the official who has the right to interrupt whoever he wants to interrupt sighs slightly, "I know you don't know, so I'm kind enough to ask and answer myself." Later, he said a number, and the civil and military officials were still confused, and the official said another number, which was more than double the previous number, "This is the total number of war horses in Liao ten years ago, so guess where all the war horses in this difference have gone?" ”

The civil and military officials were thoughtful, and the cavalry of the Liao State was very strong, because they themselves were nomads, and the Liao people were very unique in their horses, which was the main reason why they could repeatedly invade the Central Plains and retreat. It's not that the Central Plains has no warriors who can and dare to fight, but the Central Plains can't keep up with the congenital conditions on the war horse, and it was ceded to the sixteen states of Youyun at that time by Shi Jingjiao, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, decades ago, which made the territory of the Liao State expand along the Great Wall, and also made the Central Plains lose the natural defense line of strategic significance, and had to change the strategy against the Liao State from the previous active attack to passive defense.

And now the war horses of the Liao State have been reduced by fifty percent in just ten years, what is going on? Act of God? **？ But haven't they heard of it?

Just when the civil and military officials were thinking hard, the official pulled out a long tone and said "oh": "I just strengthened my tone, and I didn't mean to let you really guess." ”

Civil and military officials: "......"

"And I can responsibly tell you that most of them have been exchanged for toffee. Yes, toffee. The official family showed the toffee very vividly, he grabbed one out of the purse, swayed left and right, so that the civil and military officials could see it clearly, and then the official family peeled the toffee and stuffed it in his mouth.

Civil and military officials: "......??" "Are you serious? Oh, it's not that the official family openly ate candy during the court meeting, but used toffee to exchange five out of ten war horses in the Liao State back! It's not funny at all! Are the Liao people mentally retarded?

In the gap when the civil and military officials were shouting in their hearts again, the official family finished eating the candy and seemed to suddenly realize: "I said something wrong. ”

Most of the civil and military officials thought so: Sure enough, there is a problem!

They still haven't been trained well, because the official family is always so logical, and he loves to use his divine logic to tease a person who can be manipulated, and sure enough: "My toffee not only exchanged for the war horses of the Liao people, but also exchanged for their gold, precious stones, spirits, cattle, and sheep,...... And what's more, oh, the milk used to make zuò toffee is purchased from them. Hey, thinking about it like this, it's really #taken from the people, used for the people#Ah. ”

The heads of the civil and military officials finally began to function, and as soon as the officials said this, they felt that they had caught something. Thinking back to when the Xia Guan family loved to drink milk, it seems that it was the year he became the prince. The official family has been called a cute ice and snow since he was a child, no matter what the ministers think, the ladies in the family have defected, so the official family has led Bianliang City since he was a child, and even led the trend of the whole country after becoming an official family. The official family drank milk, and Bianliang City also drank it, and later it expanded to the whole country, for which a variety of by-products were derived, such as toffee, and then the pastry shop studied how to use milk to make more delicious pastries, the restaurant studied how to use milk in the cuisine, and the teahouse studied milk tea, etc., don't underestimate the wisdom of the working people!

The relationship between supply and demand also drove the lively minds of the merchants, who saw the business opportunities, and for a time led the price of milk to soar in the Liao people, and the supply exceeded demand. In this way, the Liao people would raise more cows than horses, and when the other way around, the merchants would sell the new dairy products developed in the Central Plains back to the Liao State. Naturally, the price of raw materials (milk) is not as good as that of finished products, so they exchange for a steady stream of gold and precious stones, and later exchange them for war horses.

The Liao people probably think so, anyway, they have countless war horses in the Liao Kingdom, so what if they sell one to the Song Dynasty! In addition, the vanity of the Liao people also soared with the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and they inevitably became arrogant.

If there is a Liao person who thinks so, then there is a second one, so that the little things add up to a lot, and the Liao people are already paralyzed and can't detect anything wrong.

In fact, it is not only this kind of milk (Liao) → the circulation model of → dairy products (Liao) in the Central Plains, similar to wool, the merchants of the Central Plains buy wool from the Liao State, and then return to the Central Plains for processing, processing into exquisite ornaments, and then sell it back to the Liao nobles at a high price. In this way, after ten years, the number of war horses in the Liao State dropped by half, not to mention, the gold and gems of the nobles entered the pockets of the merchants of the Central Plains, and also created a mushrooming derivative industry for the Central Plains, providing a steady stream of jobs, which greatly promoted economic exchanges and development.

Of course, the biggest winner is the official family, and the cat clan network has advantages and disadvantages, and this is where the merchant network comes into being.

In addition, the civil and military officials of the cat clan network would not have thought of it if they wanted to break their heads, but it did not prevent them from thinking of the businessman when they brainstormed. At this time, they almost thought about the whole thing, and for a while they were really mixed.

There's nothing more to say, the official family, please accept the knees of the ministers.

The official who looked down on the stupid mortals on the top of the nine-layer imperial staircase tilted his head slightly and said, "So, you have no opinion on the matter that I want to conquer the Liao Kingdom in person?" ”

Civil and military officials: "!! "When did you say you were going to go on a personal expedition? Let's not bring such a play, official!

Regarding the distorted expressions of the civil and military officials, the official's understanding is like this: "I know that you are reluctant to me, and I am also reluctant to you, so I will take you with me when I go on a personal expedition, so you should be happy now, right?" The official family still has a look of "I really can't do anything about you", the civil and military officials really knelt down this time, and you take the knees of the officials and ministers, don't play like this, okay? Play once, at least a year's life!

However, this is useless, what do the officials want your knees for, the officials don't eat kneecaps, the officials love to drink milk, don't you know? There are also officials who have always been golden-mouthed, saying that he took the ministers to the royal expedition, and he really took them, but he didn't take them all away, and left the Eight Sages King and a cadre to guard the city of Bianliang.

In the fifth year of Tiansheng (1027 AD), the official family drove the expedition and started the first war that made Fanguo kneel and sing the conquest.

This time: The Battle of Song-Liao lasted eight months and ended with a great victory for the Song Kingdom.

In addition, the Song and Liao countries reformulated the peace treaty, and it is very interesting that the new treaty is still signed in Lanzhou, which is known as the "Later Lanyuan Alliance", but unlike the old Lanyuan Alliance, this time the status of the Song and Liao countries is completely reversed, and it is the turn of the Liao State to provide the Song Dynasty with 50,000 taels of gold (which is more than 200,000 taels of silver more than the 300,000 taels of silver paid by the Song Dynasty to the Liao State in previous years).

More importantly, during the eight months of the Song-Liao war, the Song Dynasty completely stopped foreign trade with the Liao State, which made the cattle and sheep raised by ordinary Liao people "rotten" in the pasture, not to mention completely dragging down the economy of the Liao State, but their losses were incalculable, and it would take decades to recover, not to mention that the 16 states of Youyun, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, were also ceded away, and they also had to pay the annual coin, which undoubtedly made it even worse. The Song Dynasty, which did not trade with the Liao State for eight months, would not break its muscles and bones, choked the seven inches of the Liao State.

At this point, the status of Song and Liao was completely reversed.

The official family, the Zhao family army - yes, in the past ten years, the official family has been really busy, and he has also trained a heroic Zhao family army, for this, the civil and military officials have been dumbfounded, and they don't want to know what the official family has done at all - and the civil and military officials who cried and shouted to follow His Majesty Xià personally to return to the court, the Eight Sages King led the courtiers who stayed behind to go out of the city to greet them, and the official family was stunned at first sight.

When the official family left, he was still a little creamy, and when he came back...... It's still a creamy little student, as if he hasn't gone out, but there is an extra gold mask on his face, covering his forehead and eyes, and the difference is that wearing armor, and then with this mask, the aura of slaughter is coming, and it is not a heavenly noble, and the aura is extraordinary, which is daunting!

Not only the Eight Sage Kings, but even the courtiers who stayed behind were also in awe.

The next moment, the unique intimacy of the official family came to the face, and the official family still had that lazy tone: "Eighth uncle, don't cry, I am not disfigured, I am still the first beauty of Bianliang." ”

The Eight Sages: "......"

Civil and military officials: "......" That's right, this is their official family, and it is like a fake.

The official family took off the mask, and this changed the style, it was originally a jade-faced rakshasa, but now it has become a freehand and elegant young man with fresh clothes and angry horses. With a smile on his face, it seems that the heavens and the earth have changed color.

The Eight Sages King and the civil and military officials couldn't help but burst into tears, it's good that the official family is not disfigured, phew, of course not, but it should be a white horse with light feet and a romantic beard, a young man in the upper reaches of Mo, but he has carried thousands of rivers and mountains, and he usually loves (talking) and laughs so much, but in fact, the pressure on his back is far from what they can imagine. If there is such an official family, you must die!

――It's all said that Gu Qing has a special (let people automatically make up for it) skills to increase their favorability, and others can't learn it.

The official family calls himself the first beauty of Bianliang is really not just talking, look at the return of the class teacher to the court, thousands of people in Bianliang City are empty, and the road is welcome. Pan An went out to throw the fruit and the car in front of the official family is #Little Witch Seeing Big Witch#, the most powerful proof is that not only the people of Bianliang City have been dispatched in the whole city, but the cats and grandchildren of Bianliang City are all lying on the wall quietly, and the trees are climbing trees, just to welcome the return of His Majesty Meow, as for the girls and young women in Bianliang, they can't wait to throw themselves out of the upstairs windows.

Also, the official smiled slightly, and the walls not far away were all toppled down.

-- The load-bearing capacity of people's walls is also limited, and it is strange that they are all so unreserved to climb up, and they don't fall.

- But later, everyone forgot that the wall was originally overwhelmed by the enthusiastic people of Bianliang, and they were all spreading the official's house to the country and the city← and the wall was too unwritten, cough.

This matter has completely confirmed that the official family is as beautiful as a flower, and it is the first beautiful name of Bianliang and even the Great Song Dynasty, and then the guide is waiting for the weak crown of the official family, and then at the age of twenty-four, they are still alone.

That's right, just because the official family is too good, I can't find a school-age girl who is better looking than the official family. If you can't find such a girl of the right age, then the official family will not set up a queen concubine, let alone a concubine. Because there are no concubines, it is natural for the official family to be twenty-four years old and still alone, isn't it?

Well, I can't tell if it's a blessing or a misfortune.

At that time, it was already the year of Jingyou (1034 AD), and Bao Zheng was promoted to the Kaifeng Mansion Yin of Zhengsanpin, which was really rare. The ministers who knew the allusion of "good in the name" at that time pondered, is this really the reason? But thinking about the usual behavior of the official family, it is not impossible. No, where is the official family so superficial, and then looking at Bao Zheng's resume and political achievements, he is really a person with a ravine, and the official family must have been discerning at that time, it must be like this... bar.

When Bao Zheng met with the official family, he recommended a young talent with both civil and military skills to the official family, this person was famous, not only repeatedly saved Bao Zheng in danger, but also had clear grievances and grievances, acted chivalrous and righteous, and was very prestigious in the rivers and lakes, and was respected as "Nanxia" by the people in the rivers and lakes.

"Zhanzhao? I know him. The official family comfortably propped his forehead and said slowly, "I not only know him, but also have a relationship with him, which impresses me deeply." Oh, he thought I was a woman disguised as a man, and he couldn't make me unprofound. ”

Bao Zheng: "......"

――Official, what did you do in the "two days" in the government #Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets#!
