Chapter 597: Unpredictable State Money

Zhao Huan's complaint caused Nan Yu to chuckle, this official family is really interesting.

Isn't a dream at three o'clock in the afternoon just a daydream?

Chen Dong looked at the appearance of the official family and knew that this matter would never be possible.

At the time of the Liao Kingdom, the Khitans still had the ability to negotiate conditions with the Great Song Dynasty.

The current Yelu Dashi, with 100,000 strong people, have run out of their ancestral land, showing off their power in the Western Regions, and they still want to negotiate conditions with the Great Song Dynasty?

"The official family, Yelu Dashi, who called himself Ju'er Khan, attacked the city in the Western Regions, and the Black Khanate in the west and the Gaochang Kingdom in the east trembled under its obscenity. Although he was a strong soldier and a strong general, the countries of the Western Regions did not dare to move, and the yellow-headed Uighurs avoided his edge. ”

But this also formed a shackle on him, if he moved easily, he would move his whole body. He also threw a rat trap and did not dare to attack Qinghe City wantonly. ”

"The minister communicated with Gaochang in the Western Regions, and the Yellow Uighurs and the Black Khanate stabilized the situation."

Zhao Huan nodded, Chen Dong was in that place in Qinghe City, which was very dangerous, but it also represented an opportunity. His diplomatic strategy has indeed been well executed.

It was precisely this that Chen Dong achieved this and gained a firm foothold in the complex region of the Western Regions.

"But the official family, there is no gold mine in Jinshan. After the Han Dynasty dug and the Tang Dynasty dug up, it had already been dug up completely. Chen Dong said with a smile.

His words caused Zhao Huan to laugh, and the Wende Hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The original theory of Jinshan is indeed a record of the Han Dynasty, where the Han people panned for gold, and the gold rush promoted the development there, but the gold mines had long been exhausted.

"The four thousand strong horsemen of Qinghe City will be handed over to you, and you will take the interpreter from the Tianshan Ancient Road, bypass Broken Leaf City, and open up the road to the west." Zhao Huan gave an order to Chen Dong.

Restarting the Silk Road, without a pre-emptive envoy, is simply nonsense.

"Ling Tangzuo, what about you, are you going to go back to Bianjing as an official, or do you want to go with Chen Dong?" Zhao Huan looked at Ling Tangzuo and asked.

Ling Tangzuo's trip to the Kelie Department was not in vain, according to the merits, he would win three levels in a row, go directly to the position of the seventh rank, and obtain a privy council officer.

The rest is a three-year move.

Ling Tangzuo had a smile on his face, what is the meaning of going back to Bianjing to be an official, he is intriguing every day, he is not not good at it, but he is just boring.

"The minister is willing to go to Daqin with Master Chen." Ling Tangzuo bowed his head and said.

Sending missions to other countries has always been a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and the greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

"Good!" Zhao Huan said excitedly.

He likes such a Great Song Dynasty official, those Wenchen who are soaked in the vinegar vat, he only knows sour all day long, and he doesn't want to see him.

"The concubine went with Ling Xianggong." Nan Yu hurriedly said.

Zhao Huan glanced at Nan Yu and Ling Tangzuo meaningfully.

"Official." Chen Dong bowed his head and said: "The minister often travels back and forth between Zhenzhou and Qinghe City, and finds a phenomenon, that is, the Khitan people hate Yelu Dashi and these people to the core. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Huan frowned slightly, but it soon became clear why this was the case.

In the battle to destroy Liao, after Yelu Yanxi was captured alive by Wanyan Lou Room and sent to Huanglong Mansion, Yelu Dashi cleverly escaped, ran back to Zhenzhou on Shangjing Road, and established himself as Ju'er Khan.

When he established himself as Ju'er Khan, he didn't say to the Khitans that he was going west.

The slogan he came up with was "Save the monarch's father, help the people, and secure the world".

But after shouting this slogan, after getting the accurate drawings given to him by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he chose to "raise troops and wait for the time to move".

This wait waited until the battle against the Kreb was defeated.

In the midst of the panic, Yelu Dashi fled from Zhenzhou with elite troops, crossed Qinghe City, walked the Tianshan Ancient Road, and ran to Broken Leaf City.

This is the explanation that he Yelu Dashi gave to the Khitans.

It's no wonder that the Khitans don't hate him.

He took all the elites away, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled to suffer on the Shangjing Road, and the grazing couldn't beat the wolves, let alone people?

"Do the Khitans resent him for giving up his ancestral land and running away with his elites?" Zhao Huan asked at Chen Dong.

Chen Dong said with a smile: "Not only that, Yelu Dashi has repeatedly organized crusades in order to calm the homesickness of his subordinates. ”

But he waited until the frost fell, and before he could get out of the Tianshan Ancient Road, he was blocked by heavy snow, and he had already done this three times. The entire people of the Western Regions treated his crusade as a joke. ”

"After three or five times like this, the Khitans who have returned to their hometowns have fled back to Zhenzhou, about 10,000 or 20,000 people, who were accepted by Zhao Xianggong, they brought their own dry food, and they went from spring to autumn, which was the most important force to defend Qinghe City."

Zhao Huan realized that it was not as simple as using his lips to fight and plot.

If it weren't for Zhao Huan, Chen Bing, nearly 50,000 people in Zhenzhou, and nearly 30,000 people in Jingbian City, how could the Kelie Department be inclined to the Great Song Dynasty?

In the same way, if Qinghe City was only defended by 4,000 strong cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, Chen Dong would be in danger no matter how much he could say.

He still has soldiers in his hands and speaks hard.

Chen Dong looked at the official family and understood what he meant, and continued: "The minister asked Niu Gao to accompany him as a military general, and the four thousand soldiers and horses will not be in command." Therefore, the defense of Qinghe City became a problem. ”

Niu Gao recommended his fellow villager Dong Xian.

"Dong Xian?" Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment, he had a little impression of this name, this should be a figure in Yue Fei's Hejian army.

[Reminder of historical events: Dong Xian is a general under Yue Fei, but he is a friend of Niu Gao and a native of Luoyang. At the beginning of the Zhai Xing Army, he fought with the Jin people, and he made many brave achievements. and Wang Gui, another major general under Yue Fei, once fought together in Lushi County, Tangzhou, and Caizhou, and all won great victories. 】

[Courageous, in every battle, brave the arrow stone for the first army, and be the vanguard of the three armies on the battlefield. The official to the system is one step away from the festival degree. 】

Zhao Huan looked at Dong Xian's information, and sure enough, he was not mistaken, he was indeed Yue Fei's subordinate.

[Dong Xian and Qin Hui are good friends, Qin Hui admires his talent very much, Shaoxing ten years, after the Battle of Yingchang, Qin Hui repeatedly met with him, often boasting of his bravery, implying that Dong Xian was subservient under Yue Fei. 】

[Dong Xian was greedy for money and lustful, was caught by Qin Hui and corrupted, and Zhao Gou, who had always been unable to control the military generals and ministers, repeatedly issued orders to reprimand. 】

[Yue Fei once punished him three times because of his life style, but Dong Xian still did not change his teachings. 】

[In the eleventh year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei was framed, and after being arrested in Dali Temple, Dong Xian and Wang Jun stood on Qin Hui's side to testify that Yue Fei was indeed disobedient. 】

After Zhao Huan read this paragraph, he was just about to order Dong to go first, but he stopped his words in time.

No one is perfect, and everyone can have weaknesses.

But Dong Xian's weakness is too easy to use, and the beauty of orchids has been there since the Han Dynasty. This Dong Xian is really in such a confidential position.

Yelu Dashi sends a bunch of beauties, and Dong Xian will fall.

Zhao Huan also remembered why he had an impression of this name, it was because he robbed a Khitan woman and was punished by Yue Fei.

The army is a place where military orders are like mountains, what you want is obedience, Yue Fei strictly ordered not to harass the people, Dong Xian also did this, it is strange not to be punished.

"Let Wang Gui bring five thousand cavalry from Dongshengwei to defend Qinghe City." Zhao Huan decided to go to someone else.

This person was Yue Fei's sworn eldest brother when he was in Tangyin, and before Yue Fei joined the army, he was a martial arts doctor and a defense envoy of Changzhou.

This person is also a military general in the normal historical line, a military general in the Yue family's army, brave and strategic, and has always given advice to Yue Fei, and is Yue Fei's right-hand man-like figure.

He had studied this man for a long time, and he was indeed a good general.

is much more reliable than this Niu Gao's friend, Dong Xian.

Niu Gao's case record of being beaten by Yue Fei with twenty lashes for drinking and mistaking is still under Zhao Huan's hands, when Yue Fei suggested sending him to follow Chen Dong to Qinghe City, he had the idea of letting him reform himself.

Chen Dong also said this, since the official family has already been selected, he naturally won't say anything.

"Set up a banquet in Shangshan Building tonight to catch a few people." Zhao Huan said to a few people.

It was Yuwen Xuzhong who presided over the wind and dust, and Zhao Huan attended such a banquet, which could only make them restrained, so it was better to send a minister to preside.

Zhao Huan was still looking at Zazi late at night, the military marriage law has become an extraterritorial marriage law.

Envoys who went abroad, craftsmen who mined in the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, and Kerebu, and border troops who were not in the region were all protected by the extraterritorial marriage law.

It's not appropriate to work hard for Da Song outside, but there is no protection in the backyard.

Moreover, it did not take long for this decree to be legislated and then to determine the provisions, and after three consultations, it finally came to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan replied to the Criminal Department to follow up more and be ready to add clauses at any time.

"Flooding?" Zhao Huan looked at Qin Tianjian's notebook, and unexpectedly saw Zong Ze's name, on the notebook.

Zong Ze, a minister at the level of strategic nuclear weapons, is the face of the Great Song Dynasty wherever he is placed.

Zhao Huan asked Zong Ze to serve as the envoy of Jinghu North Road and Jinghu South Road, and arranged the affairs of the two roads very properly.

And last summer, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River also caused heavy losses to the people.

Zhao Huan pondered this note carefully before he understood.

Just two words, hit the money!

It costs money to dredge rivers and hire people.

It costs money to clear the silt and reclaim the wasteland.

It costs money to build river embankments and build water conservancy.

Zhao Huan approved this note very openly.

Li Gang had already met with the household department in Bianjing, and the household department still had some idle money to support the Jinghu two roads.

Zhao Huan will naturally approve the matter of making money with state funds and benefiting the country and the people, and even allocated one million silver dollars from the internal treasury to support.

Zhao Huan looked at the notebook in his hand and almost laughed.

The attributes of national funds are a bit uncertain.

When Zhao Huan observed, the state money was empty, and there were holes everywhere.

But when it is really needed, it is like water in a sponge, like a gully of justice, there will always be a squeeze.

The unpredictable state funds made Zhao Huan smile bitterly.

After the twenty-six years of Zhao Ji's reign, the Great Song Dynasty had too many scars that needed to be repaired.

It was hard to have some money in the state treasury, and he didn't want the emperor to see it, so as not to be taken to a place like the Gong Yue Palace.

"You don't spend money on me, I have money to use." Zhao Huan smiled and put the zazi down.

Zhao Ying nodded again and again and said: "That's it, their little money is hidden every day, just like the money that the official family can look up to them!" ”

"Talking so openly, where did you go to get rich?" Zhao Huan asked with a smile.

Zhao Ying laughed twice and said, "The minister's cooking skills are quite passable, so he taught a few apprentices. Last month, the minister asked the internal Shangshan Bureau to take over the Shangshan Building outside the Xihua Gate in Bianjing, and opened stores in various places, and now there are more than 30 branches. ”

"This month is starting to turn around the profit."

Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying's appearance and asked curiously: "Yo, you have opened chain restaurants, how much do you earn?" Look at the fun that makes you happy. ”
