Qin Hui has returned to Beijing for a long time, but he has never had a chance to recover his life, because Song Huizong has been busy dealing with Wang Huang's affairs recently, where can he have time to take care of him. Song Huizong is a famous Qinglou emperor in history, in his mind, women are the top priority, and in his opinion, it doesn't hurt to be a little late or two.

Now that Wang Huang's matter has come to an end, Song Huizong thought of Qin Hui and Han Shizhong, and was ready to talk about meritorious deeds.

Coincidentally, Song Huizong is like this, Li Qi is not like this, he has been busy with corruption in the past few days, and he has no time to deal with Qin Hui, so he feels very guilty in his heart, so he invited Qin Hui and Han Shizhong to his manor in the western suburbs, which can be regarded as a late reception banquet.

"General Han, please take a seat."

As soon as Li Qi saw this famous general in later generations, he immediately greeted him warmly, invited him to sit down, and entertained him very thoroughly, people like Han Shizhong, you can not understand him, but you can't help but respect him.

Han Shizhong is now an unknown person, to put it realistically, he is a martial artist at best, and he can't help but be a little flattered and at a loss to see that this economic envoy in front of him is so enthusiastic about himself.

After the three of them sat down, Li Qi immediately raised his glass and said: "General Han, I'm really sorry, I said that my official has been entangled in trivial matters recently, and I can't go to visit, forgive my sins, forgive my sins." I don't drink alcohol, so I can only apologize with tea. ”

The more Han Zhizhong listened, the more confused he became, you actually apologized to me as a martial artist, even if it was polite words, that was not what he said. hurriedly raised a glass to greet him, and said continuously: "Don't dare, don't dare, the adult is serious." ”

Li Qi drank it all and said: "I have heard the name of General Han for a long time, and now I see it, it is far better than hearing it!" ”

Han Shizhong is not afraid of all enemies at all, but he was completely out of order by Li Qi's polite words, this is obviously my line, but now it comes out of your mouth, it's weird. And he said, "How dare you, how dare you." He didn't know what to say.

Li Qi said as he spoke, looked at Han Shizhong's sweaty face, and said with a smile: "General Han, you don't need to be so restrained. ”

Qin Hui stroked his beard and said, "My lord, you are so enthusiastic, how can General Han not be restrained." ”

Li Qi suddenly realized, thinking, this is really the sequelae of the crossing, after all, he is not the kind of person Wang Hao, let's use business to communicate. So, he changed his strategy and began to ask them about the harvest of this trip to Jiangnan.

The two told the truth.

Sure enough, when talking about business, Han Shizhong let go a lot and talked more.

Li Qi listened to it and muttered for a moment, and said, "Now that the corrupt officials have almost been eliminated, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved immediately?" He only has one brain, and it is no longer enough to think about so many things every day, and he is now more inclined to listen to other people's suggestions, which is both labor-saving and easy to use.

Han Shizhong said: "Han Mou's trip to the south this time sounds like sweeping away countless thieves, but it is actually a small effort, because those are just some rabble, which are simply vulnerable, however, it is precisely these rabble that make the local government helpless, which is really incomprehensible." ”

Li Qi said: "I don't know what General Han thinks?" ”

Han Shizhong sighed: "My Great Song Dynasty is now only the Western Army that can fight well, but the lower officials think that if it goes on like this, this Western Army will perish sooner or later." ”

Li Qi was shocked and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Han Shizhong said: "Although there are many troops in my Great Song Dynasty, there are very few that can be used, but whenever there is a war, the first thing that the imperial court thinks of is always the Western Army. The Western Army is stationed in the northwest, and the main enemy they face is the Western Xia Army, so almost all the tactics they usually practice are aimed at the Western Xia soldiers, the climate between the north and the south is very different, and they are facing different enemies, if the Western Army goes to have no geographical advantage, and your set of tactics is useful for the Western Xia soldiers, but it is not necessarily applicable to other armies, so that in recent years, the Western Army has suffered huge losses. It's a pity that the Southeast Army has long existed in name only, and the chaos in Fang La has made it even worse, which is dispensable, so Han thought that the imperial court should reorganize the Southeast Army and the Heshuo Army, only a strong army can give the people a safe environment, and only in this way can the new law of the economic envoy be guaranteed. ”

Because the strong enemies of the Song Dynasty are all in the north, and the north produces horses, the strongest army of the Song Dynasty is in the north, and the original Heshuo army is okay, but due to the military and political [], it has been reduced to chicken ribs, and it is not good to fight, and it is a good hand to drag it back.

Qin Hui, a layman, nodded frequently when he heard this, no matter how powerful the army was, it would be defeated sooner or later.

Oh, yes! This is really a very serious problem, I can't pin all my hopes on the Western Army, if something goes wrong, then I won't lose everything. Li Qi rubbed the teacup and suddenly said, "General Han is reasonable, but I don't know if you are willing to take on this important responsibility?" ”

Han Shizhong was stunned for a moment, in fact, he just said that, he had long lost hope in the imperial court, and he never thought that Li Qi would accept it in one bite.

Li Qi said again: "It's not a secret, in fact, the reorganization of the Southeast Army has long been in my plan, but I have not found a suitable talent, if General Han is willing, it is really no better." ”

Qin Hui frowned slightly, and said: "My lord, as the commander of the three ya, although you have the right to command the army, but you have no right to transfer troops, if you want to reorganize the southeast army, you must get the consent of the Privy Council." ”

Li Qi smiled confidently: "You can rest assured, since I said so, I am ten percent sure, it just so happens that Cai You is not here now, and there is a lot less trouble." ”

Han Shizhong hugged his fists and said: "Thanks to Bu Shuai, Han is willing to take on this important responsibility." ”

"Then we will have a toast for the powerful Southeast Army of Mingyu."

After he was full of wine and food, Han Shizhong took his leave first, but Qin Hui stayed. Li Qi stood in front of the window with a cup of tea in his hand, and after a while, he suddenly half-jokingly said: "Qin Hui, you have made a lot of contributions to the south this time, I don't know what reward you want?" ”

Qin Hui, who was standing behind him, was slightly stunned, didn't dare to answer rashly, and groaned.

Li Qi was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.

After half a ring, Qin Hui said, "Money and land." ”

Four simple words, but Li Qi had to be convinced, this person was born to be an official, and said with a smile: "Don't you want to be promoted?" ”

Qin Hui said: "Anyone wants to rise to the top, but there is a good saying, the tree is a big move." ”

"Clever!"

Li Qi smiled and said: "My current status is very sensitive, and the power in my hands has reached a critical point, if it increases again, I am afraid that it will be like Wang Huang, and things will be reversed, so I can only wronged you, in fact, with your talents, whether it is the Door Province, the Privy Council, or even the three divisions, it is enough to be competent." ”

Qin Hui said: "My lord, please rest assured, the lower officials can still understand this, and when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, I will put the Zheng family and the Bai family in front." ”

"If everyone were like you, then I would be much easier." Li Qi said. In fact, he left Qin Hui just to let him be a little more restrained, not to be greedy, and let the Zheng family and the Bai family, which have deep-rooted forces, take on this qiē

In the second day, Qin Hui truthfully reported the harvest of this trip to Jiangnan, because Han Shizhong is a military general, and his status is not high, he has no qualifications to enter the palace, so he can only wait outside the door for rewards. After hearing this, Song Huizong first gave severe criticism to those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and then educated the ministers at length, and then it was time to reward meritorious deeds.

However, Qin Hui was very low-key at this time and pushed the credit to Zheng Yi and Bai Qiannuo, Bai Qiannuo is a woman, and her credit is naturally counted on the head of the Bai family, Bai Shizhong heard Song Huizong's praise of Bai Qiannuo, and he was very relieved. Of course, the Zheng family is also proud.

And the rest of the ministers also came out to praise Zheng Yi and Bai Qiannuo, what kind of tiger gate has no dogs, women don't let Xu Mei, and deliberately weaken Qin Hui's credit, in fact, it is in Li Qi's arms.

So, in the end, Qin Hui also got some rewards, there was no change in his official position, and he still stayed in the Bureau of Commerce to assist Li Qi, he was so, not to mention Han Shizhong.

At this time, Li Qi suddenly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a book." ”

When those ministers saw Li Qi, their hearts sank.

Song Huizong said: "What is Aiqing's play?" ”

Li Qi said: "That's right, since General Han came back, businessmen in the capital have come to the Bureau of Commerce one after another to express their worries!" ”

Song Huizong sighed and said, "This is strange, what did Han Aiqing have to do with them when he returned to Beijing?" ”

Li Qi said: "The previous Weichen was also surprised, and when he inquired, he realized that they were worried about the safety of their lives and property. They all believed that the reason why there were Fangla thieves in Jiangnan, as well as the prevalence of robbers and thieves, was that the Jiangnan army was incompetent, so they begged Weichen to play the imperial court and send the western army to garrison Jiangnan to protect them. ”

"How can it be?"

Song Moquan immediately stood up and said, "The Western Army wants to guard the northwest border for my Great Song Town, how can they run to protect these merchants, isn't this putting the cart before the horse." ”

Li Qi immediately said: "Master Song is reasonable, I also told them so, but they said that even the most basic safety cannot be guaranteed, how can this business be done." I think about it, it's true, General Han only brought how many men and horses, and it was only a few days since he went down to Jiangnan, but the number of robbers swept away was jaw-dropping, which shows the poor ability of the Jiangnan garrison. Although the scale of those thieves is small, but for the merchants, it is deadly, people have worked hard to earn a lifetime of money, swish, become clean and slippery, and may even lose their lives, this is too risky. ”

Song Moquan said: "Now that the thieves are gone, what else do they have to worry about? ”

Li Qi smiled: "There is a saying that wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows." The southeast army is so incompetent, those thieves will inevitably resurrect, think that when Fang La rebelled, it was not strong at the beginning, that is, a group of rabble, it was precisely because of the incompetence of the local army, repeated defeats, this disaster became bigger and bigger, and in the end, it had to be the king of Guangyang County to quell the chaos. Why are the thieves in the south of the Yangtze River rampant, isn't it because the local government and army are incompetent, do you think the thieves in the northwest dare to take the lead? If it were you, would you have faith in such an army? ”

Song Huizong immediately nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is extremely reasonable!" ”

The ministers were all stunned, but then they understood, until now, people blamed the Fang La uprising on Song Huizong's head, it was your granite that got it, and now Li Qi's words have put all the charges on the head of the Jiangnan garrison, and Song Huizong will definitely take the opportunity to rehabilitate himself.

Wu Min stood up and said: "Having said that, then you must not send the Western Army forward, Your Majesty, this plan must not be done!" ”

Song Huizong nodded again and said, "Yes, it is absolutely impossible to send the Western Army forward, Li Qi, you have to think of another way." ”

Qin Hui was funny when he heard it, Li Qi only said a few words, and the ministers all fell into his trap.

Li Qi pretended to be silent and said: "Your Majesty, this is very difficult, Jiangnan is the economic lifeline of my Great Song Dynasty, and there can be no more Fang La, we must give sufficient security guarantees, so as to be conducive to economic development." ”

Cai Jing suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that only one person can ensure that Jiangnan is worry-free." ”

Song Huizong said: "Aiqing, hurry up." ”

Cai Jingdao: "It's Han Shizhong who went to Jiangnan this time, General Han." According to Qin's deputy economic envoy, Han Shizhong went to level countless thieves and threaten Jiangnan, if he sat in Jiangnan, those thieves would definitely be frightened, where would they dare to make waves. ”

Tacit understanding! Li Qi hurriedly said: "What Taishi said is very true, but General Han alone is probably not enough, Weichen thinks that it is time for the imperial court to strictly rectify the southeast army, and it is necessary to put an end to the appearance of the next Fang La." ”

Huang Xinren immediately stood up and said: "Economic envoy, what you said is easy, now the treasury has no money for you to reorganize the Southeast Army." ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Salt and iron envoy, you are too modest, your three divisions have just received millions of yuan, and in the blink of an eye, you shouted that you have no money, right?" ”

Huang Xinren said: "What do you mean? ”

"It's not interesting." Li Qi smiled and said secretly, I scared you to death. After a while, he said: "In fact, the rectification of the army does not have to cost more money, I also know about the army in the south of the Yangtze River, most of them are composed of van soldiers, looking at the scale is considerable, but in fact it is unbearable, since it is unbearable, what is the use of keeping it." It just so happened that Jiangnan is now in economic construction, which requires a lot of manpower, and Fang La is in chaos, with countless casualties, and Jiangnan manpower is tight, and Weichen thinks that the imperial court should first go to its dregs, and extradite some elderly soldiers to agriculture or commerce, let them reclaim wasteland, build factories, and then focus on training the remaining troops, and build them into an elite, so that the expenditure of the imperial court will not increase but decrease, and there will be an additional army that can guard the frontier for my Great Song Dynasty, why not. Coupled with the diplomatic strategy of the Great Song Dynasty towards Dali, Jiaozhi and other southern countries, I thought that Jiangnan must have an army with combat effectiveness like the Western Army, divided into sea and land armies, and water and land parallel. ”

Zhao Huanzuo said: "Erchen seconded the proposal, most of the internal troubles in my Great Song Dynasty are from the south of the Yangtze River, if there is a strong army to defend it, those rebel thieves can be strangled in the cradle at the beginning." ”

Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others also hurriedly came out to second. They are all ready to make a big show in Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan thieves often use them as negative teaching materials to encourage the people to rebel, if they want to rob, the first target must be them, so of course they hope to have a strong army to protect their assets.

The Zheng family and the Bai family also came out to agree, after all, they had a lot of light and reciprocated.

And the officials of the Privy Council, because the boss was not there, did not know what to do for a while.

Song Huizong saw that most of the ministers agreed, and thought to himself that he could also use this to rehabilitate himself on the side. So he said loudly: "Where is Han Shizhong?" ”

"Wechen is here."

Han Shizhong stood outside the door and bowed down.

Song Huizong said: "Now I will appoint you as the envoy of Fuzhou, rectify the second army of the southeast water and land, and be sure to put an end to the thieves in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

"Wechen obeys." (To be continued)
