Chapter 256: Han Qi's War
"Look at the situation, this winter will be colder than ever."
In the courtyard of the government, Han Qi, the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture and the transport envoy of Hedong, looked like he had white hair on his temples, and he looked up to feel the colder and colder wind blowing from the north.
"What is Xianggong worried about?" The henchmen who accompanied him guarded the road.
Han Qi closed his eyes and continued to feel the colder and colder wind, then opened his eyes and said: "Hedong is slightly better, I always say that you only know what winter is only when you have been in power in the northwest, and this time, it is especially a challenge for that child." ”
"Xiang Gong's house is kind-hearted, and at this difficult time, everyone is not optimistic about him when they reach out to Funing County. The things you ordered have been supervised, and if nothing else, the first batch of feed we produced in accordance with the requirements of Funing County will soon be ready for shipment. ”
The henchman guard said with a little worry, "This batch is okay, I am worried that in the future, the winter will be further harsh, and the transportation team will be unable to move an inch after the ice is frozen everywhere, and the continuous transportation of compressed feed will also put a lot of pressure on us." ”
"Even if it is difficult, it will be transported, because this is war. The old man didn't care how many people died on the way. ”
Han Qi is based on this virtue, and when he decides to do something, he generally does not consider the cost and consequences.
"At that time, after the letter for help from Funing County arrived, many people in Hedong officialdom were against it. But only the public was able to overcome public opinion, and still accepted the production line sold by Wang Yan Coal Yard. It was decided to use Hedong's own grain resources to supply compressed feed to Funing County. The guard said, "Now in private, everyone is generally worried about this matter, because Wang Yan has no credit, and he fell out with Suidejun because he doesn't want to fulfill the agreement and don't want to repay the debt." And now after the falling out, without the support of the Suide Army, Funing County is a place where accidents will happen, and everyone does not trust the Funing Army to have the ability to resist risks. That is to say, the production line that we Hedong ordered at a large cost is at risk, and once something happens in Funing County, we will not be able to continue to buy the feed we produce, and we will rot the high-priced production line purchased in debt. ”
Han Qi couldn't help but raise his head and laughed: "The old man said a long time ago that this is war, of course there are risks in fighting, but it is to fight, I just like to fight." What can the old man do if he was afraid of the wolf and the tiger, for two years in a row, the old man sent people to farm at the border, and they all said that the old man was causing trouble and was dissatisfied with the old man, but now the grain depot in my Hedong area is full. Everything else is empty, and if you have food in your hands, you don't panic. ”
"There are some things about Wang Yan, and the old man can't get used to it. However, this kid is different from the idiots in Bianjing in that he is like an old man in some aspects, full of adventurous spirit, and dares to attack at critical moments. Maybe he won't always be right, there will be twists and turns, but this way of thinking and perspective is very appetizing to the old man, and it is exactly what my Da Song needs. In comparison, the miser fools in Bianjing are much short-sighted than him. ”
"You can resent a person's shortcomings, but you also have to face up to his strengths." Han Qi thinks that he is the most qualified person in the Great Song Dynasty to say this, for example, one moment ago he used his family wealth to protect Fan Zhongyan, and the next moment he almost fought with Lao Fan in the handsome tent because of disagreement, and later reflexively wrote to the emperor to impeach Lao Fan.
Back then, the child's father, Wang Anshi, was the secretary general under Han Qi, and he was scolded by Han Qi one moment ago, and the next moment Han Qi encountered an article that he didn't know and couldn't read, and he remembered Wang Anshi's erudition and benefits and wanted to ask for advice.
That's right, Han Qi has done all these things, and he won't blush, and his death shouldn't continue.
Han Qi was also very disgusted with Wang Yan at first, he had never met, and he was disgusted when he heard a lot of negative news about Wang Yan. But he has also been studying the child's magical family history, looking for the child's advantages, and summed up that the kid's strategy is very radical but the tactics are conservative, and this style is very temperamental to Han Qi.
The reason why Han Qi called the group of people in Bianjing stupid misers was because they all built huge vaults without exception and hired huge guards to guard the vaults without spending money. Later, Han Qi figured out the child's family history, and the kid always spent his own money penniless and borrowed other people's money to make money.
So this time the drowsiness met the pillow, Han Qili overrode the public opinion, and for the first time issued the first white slip payment of the Hedong Transshipment Division for the purchase of compressed military food production lines from the Bianjing Coal Yard. In terms of policy, following Wang Yan has turned radical in an all-round way, saying that Han Qi loves farming so much, and he has money in his hands. However, it is not necessary, and plans to follow the Wang Yan model to expand investment and carry out so-called leveraged operations.
Otherwise, it seems that there is no point in continuing to lock the money in the treasury like the foolish misers in Bianjing, and increase the number of people to watch.
"Be broad-minded and above others. We must try to turn to the thinking of economic and people's livelihood construction, although Fu Bi is stupid, he is not wrong about one thing, there will be no full-scale war with Liao in my Great Song Dynasty within 30 years. Although there are many problems in Western Xia, they are limited in size, and the threat to our Great Song Dynasty has always been relatively limited. So the old man asserted that here, it would be difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to have greater military achievements in the future, and the phenomenon of political dumping would continue. ”
Han Qi twisted his beard and said, "The current Great Song Dynasty has no real leader, and the phase exists for political dumping, and such a phase is virtual, so don't do it." The real pinnacle must be obtained by doing things and prestige, that is, in the absence of a full-scale war, the people's livelihood economy is the only way to measure prestige, and the old man wants to be ahead of the curve in this regard, and is walking in the front. ”
"He is wise and far-sighted. At that time, you withstood the pressure to make use of the border land, and for two consecutive years you had a bumper harvest, because you saw far away. Now our grain can not only be sold to Funing County in the northwest at a higher profit, but also have a lot of wealth to supply our Hedong to develop the aquaculture industry. It's really a stroke of God. The henchman said.
Han Qi said: "It's not a stroke of genius, do things, it's either success or failure, everything else is nonsense." Now this matter is still in progress, and it has not succeeded or failed. The situation in the northwest is very complicated, if Wang Yan succeeds, we will follow the success, if he fails, we will follow the debt, it's as simple as that. Sui Dejun and Li Shen are offended, the key is to see if he can withstand the harassment from Sanshan Qizhai, if he can finally climb out of the big pit in the northwest, he will be truly mature, and he will also become the mainstay of the younger generation of my Great Song Dynasty. ”
"If you were to change your face, how would you deal with the problem of the Suide army?" The guard asked.
Han Qi said lightly: "There are no surprises from the queen's family, the old man was soft-hearted back then, but in fact, the factors for the defeat of Haoshuichuan are very complicated. If you change the old man's current mentality, he will kill Cao Shouyi's Tartar, which can't really solve the problem in the northwest, but it can knock the mountain and town the tiger. As for that little boy, he is different from the old man, he is a sesame mung bean official with a bad reputation and has been burdened with countless punishments, and he has no Jinshi bloodline for the time being, so he doesn't know much about what to do The old man doesn't know much, that's his problem, not mine. The old man and his agreement is that he pays, and I will provide him with compressed livestock rations, as long as the agreement is still valid, many people will die, no matter how heavy the wind and snow cover the mountains, I will also send dry food to the northwest 'front line', because this is the war, and this is also my Han Qi's promise. ”
