How to fight this battle is very simple for Di Yong, and Gan Qi also explained it in his letter.

Opposite Suizhou is Longzhou in Western Xia, and there is a small river called Dali River in the middle, Longzhou is in the upper reaches of the river, and Suizhou is in the lower reaches of the river. Along the small river, there is the small city of Longzhou, which was originally stationed in about 2,000 people, but now there are 40,000 people, and the two sides are so confrontational.

In the middle of the night, the sentry posts and scouts of the Western Xia army disappeared frequently, and when they went to look for it early the next morning, there were only corpses, and the corpses were stripped naked and hung upside down on trees.

This happened for several days in a row, and dozens of people were already assassinated.

Di Yong's purpose in doing this is very simple, just fight.

Obviously, Gan Qi is also waiting to fight, he now has money and land in his hands, and 50,000 mighty troops, what can he do without fighting?

Don't fight at this time, it won't take long, Xixia and Song still have to fight, and there will be a big war in the future, Xixia will often have an army of four or five hundred thousand to the south, at that time the Xixia was ready to attack, rather than facing hundreds of thousands of party troops later, it is better to provoke the war in advance, and now Gan Qi's soldiers are strong and strong, and they are all veterans of the battle array, when they can be used, they don't make a big move, so they raise these veterans into old people, it is really a waste.

And strategically speaking, the Liao people have to make a comeback, and if they don't take advantage of this gap to defeat the party members, it may really be a two-front battle at that time, and the Liao people will come back no more than the previous battle without warning.

If Liaoxia conspires, then it is really the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and if you don't fight Xixia at this time, when will you wait?

Of course, it is also accompanied by political considerations, and Gan Qi has to make a comeback.

After searching for the river, the year is over, and when Gan Qi returns to Tokyo, even the essay contest is over, and Qin Guan, a traffic student, won the first place with an absolute vote advantage.

This kid immediately bought a house and a car, had a two-story building with a yard in Bianliang City, bought a few little maids, and a foreigner, which can be regarded as settling down in Bianliang. Of course, Huang Tingjian also entered the top ten, and he also bought a house and a car, but he only bought a maid, a servant, a janitor, and saved some money.

It's Cai Jing, the end of the ten, but he is a big deal, five hundred yuan was spent in one go, he didn't buy a house, he rented a house, and then he prepared many gifts and gave them away, and even Ouyang Xiu, the governor of the political department, received a small gift from him, a box of good Xizhou ink. Then there are the guests of the big banquet, but all the literati who know it are seated in Fan Lou, and they are not stingy in eating and drinking.

Of course, Ganch's gift was also indispensable.

Today's Bianliang has become a new scene, and a new pattern in the literary world has taken shape.

Gan Xianggong finished searching for the river, handed over the errand, and had nothing to write and write, so he waited, waiting for Di Yong's news.

Above the court, a great thing is good, as if it has returned to the old days when Renzong was in the court, there was no big event, and the ministers were busy, dealing with trivial matters all over the country.

The emperor is also busy, seems to be diligent and loves the people, recently the emperor has been infected with a minor illness, some cough, but it is not a big problem, the review and review, the court meeting, it does not affect.

As soon as Yingzong was in power, the emperor was in charge, the court team was stable, all the major affairs were dealt with, and the country and the people were safe.

Gan Qi also has some things to deal with, Chen Han writes from time to time to report the situation in Datong, Mo Ge is very honest, the barbarians have a lot of iron weapons, and now many tribes in the west of the grassland are fighting to the death with the Liao, and the fight is inseparable, but the barbarians are still strategically inferior and frequently retreat.

According to Chen Han's observation, the barbarians may still not be able to defeat the Khitans, there is no way to do it, since the Turks were beaten into dogs by the Tang, the steppe people have been in a mess, the Khitans are too fierce, and the people who come down from the Great Xing'an Mountains are not comparable to the steppe people at all.

Gan Qi also replied, and there was only one arrangement, that is, to find a way to send iron tools to the west of the grassland, and to use grain and sheep to hire Mo Ge to send them. The barbarians can't kneel too fast, they must hold on, at least for more than half a year, until the end of the Western Xia war.

The price of iron tools can be reduced, anything can be exchanged, horses, gold and silver, furs, all of them, as long as the sheep can catch up. It's really not good, you can pay credit before bookkeeping.

Sister Zhao's fashion conference was also in full swing, and she specially invited Gan Qi to see it, but Gan Qi politely declined, and Wu Qiaoer just went.

Cai Huangyi also wrote to Quanzhou, reporting the situation of the Quanzhou Iron Yard, in fact, it is also a complaint, the Iron Yard is losing money, the reason for the loss is that the payment on Ganqi's side is much worse, Ganqi has been desperately transporting to the north, his own army wants, and it is also used to fund the barbarians, but the money given is not enough, it is not that Ganqi has no money, one is that the road is far away, the payment is difficult to transport, and the other is that Gan Qi is intentional, the iron is too expensive, and the equipment of more than 100,000 people continues to be transported to Yanyun, if you really pay off all the money, The money in Ganch's hands will immediately be stretched.

Gan Qi also wrote back to Quanzhou, asking Cai Huangyi to raise the shipping price of the porcelain in Quanzhou, and if he shipped it to the West, the arrival price would be doubled. If the people of the color eyes come to ship it themselves, the FOB price will increase by 50%. sent a letter to Zhang Tangying again, asking Zhang Tangying to cooperate in the name of the government.

In fact, it is to monopolize all the porcelain exports in Quanzhou, not to compete with the people for profit, and even to raise some prices for those porcelain workshops, but all the porcelain exports in Quanzhou have to go through the Cai family for price monopoly. Anyway, these things are shipped to the west, and the people from Central Asia, West Asia and Europe pay for them, and the porcelain thing, there is only one in the world, and there is no other semicolon.

If you say that the price will increase, the price will increase, and there is no room for it.

Gan Qi's plan is to use the profits from the increase in the price of porcelain to subsidize the iron yard, and the FOB price will be increased by half, and the arrival price will be doubled, which is a large amount. Now in the Great Song Dynasty, there is only Quanzhou as a foreign port, and there is no choice. As for Guangzhou, Guangzhou does not produce good porcelain, and Guangzhou only began to produce large-scale good porcelain in the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Chinese coast further north, Hangzhou, it was not a place for barbarians, but there were exceptions, and the Japanese could go there, and go to Hangzhou to buy silk and so on.

The matter in Quanzhou is arranged in this way, and it is also a countermeasure that Gan Qi has thought of for a long time, and now Gan Qi has become like an iron rooster, and the money in his hand can only be used to fight wars, to raise food and salaries, and to reward soldiers.

Above the court, Sima Guang began to have trouble with Gan Qi again, this time not to impeach, but to say it to his face.

"Your Majesty, the judge of the Duzhi Dynasty Han Jin frequently said in the court that the three divisions were short of money, but now Yan Yun has taken it back, but it is also an extra burden, Yan Yun's countless officials are waiting for Yu Lu, if even Yan Yun's officials have to be in arrears, I am afraid that the land of Yan Yun will inevitably cause chaos. The minister thought that when Gan Xianggong handed over the captured spoils to the imperial court, it would also solve the difficulty of supporting the expenses. Sima Guang said to the emperor in the imperial study.

The emperor frowned, thought for a moment, and muttered, "I don't know how much money Gan Qi has gathered in Yanyun." ”

It's embarrassing to say, Yan Yun took it back, but the imperial court couldn't even pay the salaries of Yanyun's officials and officials from all over the country, Yan Yun who had just taken over, everything was complicated, and a lot of work had not really been carried out, and even many roads and bridges from Hedong in Hebei to Yanyun were waiting for money to be repaired, but Gan Qi held Yan Yun's money in his hands and didn't take it out.

Sima Guang thought for a while, estimated and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Yanyun money in the hands of Gan Xianggong is not less than four or five million yuan. I also ask Your Majesty to give an order to let Gan Xianggong take out all the money, and now that Yanyun has returned, countless roads and bridges must be repaired, if Gan Xianggong does not take out the money, these things will not be carried out, and please give an order to Your Majesty. ”

Sima Guang has already surrendered his hand.

"Four or five million guan...... Zhao Shu sighed, he was still reasonable, and said: "If it is four or five million guan, no wonder Gan Qi is reluctant to take it out, this is just his principal." In the battle of Yanyun, he gave so much money, how did you ask me to ask him to take it out? ”

Now Gan Qi is not even an official, so he went home to relax. Zhao Shu was still a little weak in his heart, and in this case, he forced Gan Qi to come out with the money, and Zhao Shu was embarrassed.

Sima Guang was dedicated to the country, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, as a courtier, you should be dedicated to the country, how can you mislead the country's major affairs with your own selfishness?" The way of a courtier is to do his best and die, what is the matter of millions of dollars? Wealth and glory are all royal graces, if there is no grace from His Majesty, where will Gan Xianggong get so much money? The minister thought that Gan Xianggong should take out the money. Even if you take out half of it, you can solve the urgent need. ”

Sima Guang's words said that he was wrong, it seemed to make sense, in front of the family and the country, what is the small personal profit? said that he was right, but he was suspected of moral kidnapping, and he felt that there was something wrong when he heard it. Emperor Zhao Shu felt like this.

Zhao Shu looked at Sima Guang and hesitated.

"Your Majesty, now Hebei to Yanyun reason, no place is passable, people come and go, military dispatch, all rely on boats from Xiongzhou ferry, Your Majesty, if this road is not repaired, the bridge is not built. If Yan Yun starts a war again, it will be difficult to plan and dispatch, and when Yan Yun loses, what should he do? "Sima Guang has his point.

As soon as he heard this truth in the emperor's ears, he suddenly persuaded Zhao Shu most of it, Zhao Shu frowned, and asked, "Then I made an order to let Dao Jian take out two million yuan, how about it?" ”

Sima Guang nodded: "It is also possible, these two million guan are only for Yanyun to pave bridges and build roads and officials and officials, which is enough for the time being." ”

Zhao Shu sighed and put pen to paper: "This holy decree, I will write it myself, after all, it is a family, and don't go through any Zhongshu door, you are familiar with him, you take my own handwriting, go to the door in person, and say good words." ”

After speaking, Zhao Shu coughed a few times, as if he was unwell, but he endured it again and continued to write.

Sima Guang took the emperor's handwritten decree and went to Gan Qi.

Gan Qibing doesn't hate Sima Guang, even if Gan Qi knows that Sima Guang has written to impeach him, Gan Qi doesn't hate him, Sima Guang came to the door, still greeted him with a smile, and watched the tea.

Sima Guang directly explained his intentions, and also showed the emperor to Gan Qi.

Seeing that Gan Qi was smiling, his expression was already not good-looking.

Sima Guang hurriedly said: "Gan Xianggong, it is too difficult for the imperial court to support it, not to mention Yanyun officials and officials, only to say that the road and bridge from Hedong in Hebei to Yanyun will not be repaired, Gan Xianggong also knows that the Liao people will make a comeback, if the road and bridge are not repaired, once the war starts, the dispatch will ......."

"Brother Junshi, let's do this...... Why do you say it to a royal historian? Ganchi asked.

"Oh, it's really that there is no one in charge of the three divisions now, Yushitai...... The Imperial Observatory had impeached such an issue before, so the lower officials did it. ”

"What about the rich minister? What about Zeng Xianggong? Brother Junshi, don't say anything about the rich Xianggong and Zeng Xianggong, and don't say it to Ouyang Xianggong, who participates in political affairs, but let you say that you are a prince in the imperial history, Brother Junshi, whether it's to fight for fame, it's okay to worry about the king. Brother Junshi, don't be fiddled with. ”

Sima Guang's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "This matter was instructed by the rich minister to do it, and the lower officials felt that this was for the country and the people, so they didn't think much about it. ”

Sima Guang, who had just entered the center of power, wanted to do things, wanted political achievements, and made the emperor feel that he was competent and talented, and he also felt that he was dedicated to the public, so he was also upright.

Gan Qi looked at Sima Guang and shook his head, he really didn't want to stand on the opposite side of Sima Guang, but Sima Guang always charged into battle, if it was someone else, Gan Qi would have been angry at this time, and now Gan Qi doesn't have to go before, he is also a respectful minister, hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield are strategizing, and the officials are gone, somewhat desireless.

If Fu Bi came to ask for money, Gan Qi would have already turned around and left, but Gan Qi still didn't want to react to Sima Guang, Gan Qi said slowly: "Brother Junshi, go back, just tell Your Majesty, I'm thinking." ”

Sima Guang was anxious, and immediately said: "Gan Xianggong, what else is there to think about in this matter, two million yuan is already Your Majesty's grace, and Gan Xianggong can also take it, how can the major affairs of the family and country be abolished because of their own selfish interests?" Gan Xianggong, please also take out two million guan to take away with the lower officials, a gentleman should act without the grace of the king, worthy of the world! Gan Xianggong, you and I are old people, I know that you are not such a person who does not care about the overall situation. ”

Gan Qi slowly got up from his seat, he suddenly felt a little annoyed Sima Guang, he was really a little annoyed, he was about to turn around and leave, leaving a sentence: "The money, I will take it out, but not today, you go back." ”

Sima Guang looked at Gan Qi's back, and didn't expect that the gentleman's demeanor and bones were broken: "Gan Daojian, you are still a son of a sage, if Hu Zi is alive, he will be disappointed when he sees you like this today." You are so disobedient to the holy will, you are really a kingless and fatherless disciple, even if I Sima Jun really misjudged you, I don't know that you are such a selfish villain! ”

Gan Qi didn't look back, he was already out of the threshold of the living room, and said in his mouth: "Sima Junshi, what kind of person am I, you can't evaluate." ”

"You are a kingless, fatherless, selfish villain! I, Sima Junshi, cut off my robe with you today! "Sima Guang is also a stinky and hard person.

"Yes! The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory. Ganchi disappeared around the corner.

Sima Guang, who was furious, carried the holy decree in his hand, went out, and there were words in his mouth: "Bao Xianggong doesn't know anyone, and Hu Zi doesn't know anyone, but he let such a villain take advantage of it." ”

Sima Guang got into the car, returned to the palace to resume his life, and his eyes were so angry in the car that the frame reached the left door, and he saw a knight rushing forward, shouting: "Yanzhou military intelligence, six hundred miles urgent, please see Your Majesty and your father!" ”

Sima Guang hurriedly got out of the car and asked, "What is the military situation in Yanzhou?" ”

"I don't know who Shangguan is? Don't dare to talk nonsense. The knight on the horse replied.

"I'm Sima Guang in the imperial history, say it quickly."

"The original way is the middle of the imperial history, the party has raised an army of 150,000 and is besieging Suizhou City!"

"What? One hundred and fifty thousand? Why did you suddenly start fighting? Didn't there be a report in front of Lu Xu's head that the party's 40,000 horses had retreated? Sima Guang was shocked, and hurriedly took out the fish talisman to show the guards, and then turned around and said: "Hurry up, don't wait for the report, follow me, I'll take you to see Your Majesty, hurry up, hurry up,......"
