Seeing Li Yan, Cai You really had a feeling of "coming out after a long time"!

As soon as Li Yan entered the door, he clenched his fists and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've kept Lord Cai waiting for a long time!" ”

Cai You said with resentment: "Li Yan, it is more difficult to see you than to meet the officials!" ”

Li Yan said: "Gaoli and Taifeng are ready to move, Li Yan is walking on thin ice, he doesn't dare to slack off, and he also invites Lord Cai Haihan!" ”

After a pause, Li Yan asked again: "I don't know why Lord Cai is in a hurry to see the lower officials?" ”

Cai You said: "I don't know if you have heard of Fang Laqi?" ”

Li Yanxin said: "Is that my eldest brother, or my eldest brother, or my father-in-law, do you say I haven't heard of it?" ”

Thinking so, Li Yan said: "I've heard of him, I don't know why Lord Cai mentioned him?" ”

Cai You said: "He reversed, and within a few months, he captured dozens of states and counties one after another, and the number of troops grew to nearly one million, and now it is unstoppable. ”

Li Yan said: "Little Fang La, can you gather millions of people? ”

Cai You said: "Not only that, but they also occupied Hangzhou City and cut off the economic lifeline of our Great Song Dynasty." ”

Li Yan said: "Hurry up, send troops to wipe it out!" ”

Cai You was waiting for Li Yan's words, and said: "The official family also thinks, but now that the treasury is empty, there is really no money to send troops." ”

Li Yan said: "The imperial court has no money to send troops? How can it be? Doesn't the imperial court have a treasury of 160 million yuan a year? ”

Cai You said: "You are talking about a good year, in the past few years, there has been either drought or flood, and many areas have not even been able to collect half of the previous taxes, and the imperial court has been less than 100 million yuan in finance for three consecutive years." ”

Li Yan said: "100 million is not a lot." ”

Cai You sighed: "Hey! This 100 million guan looks like a lot, but there are too many places where you can't stand the use of money, officials and salaries, repairing rivers, maintaining transportation, disaster relief, and you have to use money everywhere, how can the court still have money? ”

The Northern Song Dynasty had redundant officials, redundant expenses, and redundant soldiers (there were not many soldiers, but there were many places to eat empty sounds), these are all problems left over from history.

To tell the truth, the Northern Song Dynasty was not short of money, but it was unable to make ends meet, and although it had a lot of income, it spent more.

Coupled with the wanton defeat of Zhao Jijun's ministers.

Add to that the successive years of disasters.

It's no wonder that you can be rich.

Li Yan said sincerely: "A big family has a big family. ”

Cai You said: "Li Yan, at this critical moment, it is the moment for you to show your loyalty to the officials!" ”

Li Yan asked knowingly, "What did Master Cai say?" ”

Cai You reminded: "The official family is short of money, and whoever can help the official family solve this problem is the biggest loyal minister." ”

Li Yan pretended to be stupid and said: "Yes, if anyone can help the official family solve this problem, it will be difficult to avoid the attention of the official family." ”

Seeing that Li Yan didn't take the initiative, Cai You could only take the initiative to say: "Li Yan, you have taken down half of Goryeo, and you have captured the Goryeo Palace, so you have a lot of money in your hands, right?" ”

Li Yan said: "There are some, but I want to raise millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops, and the official family will not allocate a penny to me......

Hearing Li Yan admit that he was rich, Cai You was overjoyed!

Hearing Li Yan complain that Zhao Ji didn't give him money, Cai You hurriedly said: "The official family didn't give you any money, but the official family gave you all the taxes in Lelang and Zhenfan County." ”

Li Yan said with a bitter face: "These two counties have just been baptized by war, how much tax can they collect?" ”

Cai You said again: "Then you make a lot of money selling glass and soap, it's always a fact, right?" ”

Li Yan said bitterly: "I used to make some money, but now that the rich south is occupied by Fang La, and there are wars everywhere, who will buy my glass and soap again?" ”

Cai Youxin said: "I can't go around in circles with him anymore, he clearly doesn't want to give money to the official family for nothing." ”

Thinking of this, Cai You said: "It is not easy for you to open up territory for the Great Song Dynasty and defend one side for the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Li Yan said: "The emperor of the Xie official family is magnificent...... But Xia Guan is really powerless, and he can't help. ”

Cai You stared at Li Yan for a while, and said: "Li Yan, I have always defended you and the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and many people in the court have complained about you and your Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, all of which are all exclamated by me Cai You for you and your Anton Metropolitan Protectorate." ”

Cai You is true of this, because recruiting Li Yan is his greatest political achievement, and because Li Yan has always been committed to befriending (bribing) Cai You, Cai You has indeed been defending Li Yan and Anton.

Li Yan, who had already laid down eyeliner in the court of the Song Dynasty, was very clear about this.

Character aside, Li Yan does have to accept Cai You's favor.

Therefore, Li Yan said: "Thank you Lord Cai for your maintenance, I have prepared a souvenir for Lord Cai, and when Lord Cai leaves, I will let Lord Cai load it on the boat." ”

Li Yan is so sensible, Cai You is very happy, but although the money is good, the task is more important, as long as he can get the favor of the official family, why not?

Cai Youyi said righteously: "Cai doesn't want your native products, as long as you are loyal to the official family!" ”

After deliberately hesitating for a while, Li Yan waved his hand to kick everyone except Jin Fushi out, and then said, "Lord Cai, we are so close, if I hide it from you, it will be difficult to sleep and eat...... I do have some money, but my expenses are really large, and the court doesn't care about me, I can only be self-sufficient, as for the money I have saved, first of all, for emergencies, and secondly, I have to keep it for retirement. ”

Cai You said: "You haven't even reached the age of standing, what are you going to raise?" ”

Li Yan said "from the bottom of my heart": "I have basically reached the highest level that a military attaché can reach now, and I have no pursuit, what can I do if I don't support my old age?" ”

Cai You said: "Say that you are lonely and unheard, you are still not happy, don't say that you are not a festival envoy, even if you are a festival envoy, there are also eunuchs, privy envoys, and three dukes, and you can also be knighted, your current official position is still far behind...... In this way, if you can help the official family through this difficulty, I dare not guarantee anything else, I still dare to pack a ticket for you, and in addition, your lady and your eldest son will be rewarded. ”

Li Yan said with little interest: "A marquis's false title requires me to take out ......", speaking of which, Li Yan looked at Cai You and asked: "By the way, how much silver does the official family need to survive this difficulty?" ”

Cai You's eyes moved slightly, and then said, "Fifty million." ”

Li Yan's eyes widened and said, "Fifty million? No! ”

Cai You also knew that he was too big, and the reserve price in Zhao Ji's heart was 30 million yuan, but he couldn't lend out more than 20 million yuan, how could he show his Cai You's ability?

Cai You discussed Li Yan and said: "Don't be busy refusing first, you can mention any conditions you have, and I will definitely mediate for you!" ”

Li Yan thought for a while, and then said, "That's it, you let me go back and think about it." ”

Cai You said: "You have to think quickly, this matter is very urgent." ”

Li Yanxin said: "I'm not afraid that you are in a hurry, I am afraid that you are not in a hurry, if you are not in a hurry, how can I slaughter you with this knife?" ”

Although he thought so, Li Yan said: "Don't worry, I'll let Lizhi (Jin Fushi) report my difficulties to you, Lord Cai." ”
