The Northern Song Dynasty is one of the smallest central dynasties in Chinese history, and at its largest, the area was only more than 3 million square kilometers, divided into 23 roads, and Weizhou belonged to Qinfeng Road, a very ordinary state.

Qinfeng Road is already the westernmost state of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the capital is Fengxiang Mansion, which is now the location of Fengxiang County, Baoji.

It has declined in the 21st century, but in the Tang and Song dynasties, it was a very prosperous place, and it was called Xijing in the Tang Dynasty.

Qinfeng Road is the largest road in the northwest of the Northern Song Dynasty, but unfortunately, because it is too remote, barren, and the population is not large, if it were not for the Western Xia, a large number of garrisons here, he would be desolate.

Although Weizhou is a relatively good state in Qinfeng Road, it is far from a large city like Fengxiang Mansion, if it is not in the center of Lingzhou to Jingzhao Mansion, and it happens to be a larger state and county, it is almost impossible for Han Qi to choose to hold a cattle and horse conference here.

Fortunately, it is not a large-scale auction similar to the Daimyo's Mansion, and there is no need to build a huge auction house specifically for the auction, and the cattle and horse trade has its characteristics, independence and expansiveness.

Often, most of the transactions will be carried out in large outdoor livestock pens, and different people will personally test the quality of the horses, rather than at least a few thousand people, gathered in one venue, as in the auction of the daimyo, one by one.

Those are all things with a higher price, which can be called treasures, and although the overall price is higher than that, you can't use that method.

Weizhou, in order to meet this auction, has made complete preparations, not only cleaned up the urban area, but even in the vicinity of Weizhou, a very large area was set up as the main venue of the Weizhou Conference.

More than 1,500,000 head of animals, not fed intensively, are placed in different areas, divided into different parts, for the whole auction, and some necessary houses are also needed, perhaps replaced by yurts, these also need to be built, in short, an unprecedented scale of cattle and horses, the work required is not something that can be completed overnight.

In fact, Han Qi had arrived in Weizhou half a month ago, Weizhou was not under his current control, but he could be affected by him, and he was staring at the name of the Lingzhou Peace Conference, plus this conference was also to raise funds for the development of the northwest, both of which made him have to keep an eye on this conference.

Han Qi is not a solitary eater, he held the cattle and horse conference in order to solve the current financial problems of Lingzhou and lay the foundation for the development of the northwest, and Weizhou also participated in this auction at the right time, maybe they can get some benefits in it, but Han Qi always wants to express it.

Han Qi was also very generous, stipulating that in this auction, 3 cents of all the total transaction amount would be left in Weizhou forever, and this money would be used as a special fund and placed directly in the Weizhou Prefecture without going through Qinfeng Road.

3 points, it sounds very little, but it depends on what this transaction is, 1.5 million head of livestock, not to mention hundreds of thousands of sheep, the price of sheep, to Weizhou, a little higher, but still between 500-700 Wen, one million heads, but less than a million, but 200,000 horses and 300,000 heads, cattle This is terrible, enough to make everyone look sideways transactions.

When a total number is high to a certain extent, 3 cents is also a very large number, perhaps in the beginning, 10,000 horses and 50,000 cattle, this total amount is only about 1.5 million transactions, at most it only alarms some auxiliary officials, but now, the total amount of items that are more than 10 times the value of the expansion, even the state pastor is alarmed.

Everyone knows that the scarcity of cattle and horses, as long as the quality itself is good, do not worry about selling, this has been obtained from the reaction of these chambers of commerce, if in the future, the total amount of the entire transaction exceeds 10 million, that is the income of 300,000 guan.

Of course, if there are more, it will be even more terrifying, if all these things are sold, it will be 900,000 yuan.

A gentleman doesn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, but officials can't, especially the head of a region, he must have money to be able to show his ambitions, not to mention anything else, a simple disaster relief, in the rice warehouse, there is no rice at all, empty heart, what's the use.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the purchasing power of funds was still quite strong, and even when Han Qi took office as the general manager of the 4th Road, he carried 300,000 Guan, he was already quite satisfied, and even put most of it on the purchase of materials, supporting the entire Western Xia War, of course, this is not only spent so much, the Fourth Road itself also has some inventory, but even if it is these, it will not exceed 1 million.

Weizhou, this is not a big border military state, this is a very ordinary local state, not to mention the most extreme 900,000 guan, even if the state government thinks that it is very likely, it will not pin on them, just say the lowest grade, 10 million guan sales.

For horses, 100,000 horses, as long as this number is reached, it is not difficult to reach it at all, more than 1,000 chambers of commerce, a hundred horses, it is enough, so that three points is 300,000 guan.

300,000 yuan, maybe to promote the construction of Weizhou, this is very difficult, but for the state capital, they don't need Weizhou construction, they just need to grasp such a fund.

For the barren Northwest, 300,000 yuan is enough to decide everything, they can use it for disaster relief, even expansion, and even subsidies for the army and civilians, these are all huge achievements.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, an official who doesn't want to go further, and a good official, what is the political achievement, that is the business card of the promotion, and ordinary officials can't take out this money to brush their political achievements.

In fact, there is not much jurisdiction between Weizhou and Han Qi, and the Cattle and Horse Conference is held in Weizhou, and in the middle, how many violations are there, and this violation is caused by Han Qi.

Qian can communicate with the gods, and the potential can suppress people, the previous Han Qi, at the age of more than 30, became the youngest Zaifu in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, especially the new law that held the real power, he and Fan Zhongyan led the new law, in more than a year, almost more powerful than anyone else.

Although Renzong abolished the new law because of the large number of opponents, he spared no effort to protect officials like Han Qi and Fu Bi, and transferred them from key places in advance, why is this?

Anyone who is a little more discerning will know that Han Qi's rise is only a matter of time, as long as he is patient and surveys for a few years in the following state monarchs, he can become the slaughter and take charge of one party.

But no one would have thought that Han Qi, who appeared like a firefighter, would be able to do this, in the northwest, not only stabilized the situation, but the rebellion in the entire Shaanxi side had been resolved by him, and it had been plaguing the northwest and Xixia, and it was also wiped out with his efforts.

Everyone knows that the rise of Han Qi will increase its efforts, perhaps it is only possible before, Renzong is preparing talents for the successor, but the heart is there, and his soaring sky can no longer be concealed.

Now Han Qi has not moved, not because the credit is not big enough, Han Qi's credit is almost greater than the sky, it is because of the big, plus the Lingzhou Peace Conference has not been completely completed, the above let him do the final finishing work here, no matter how far this finishing work goes, there is no problem to upgrade to another level.

Now, there is no problem with Han Qi at all, and even because of this cattle and horse conference, the northwest will get enough funds, and the development of Lingzhou will inevitably have wings.

As for Han Qi will embezzle this money, this possibility is infinitely close to zero, just kidding, a person with a bright future and even the highest peak in the future, will he care about this money? At his level, even if it is justifiable, there will be a lot of benefits.

That's right, maybe Han Qi's rank will not be promoted, from the privy deputy envoy to the governor of the council, and even the level of Zaifu, that is, the junior half level, but the scholar, the lord, these things can be done too much, the first-class prince, the annual income may exceed tens of thousands, for a family, it is completely enough.

Not being able to get along with such a person is not a good thing in itself, not to mention, there is a huge amount of money, as little as 300,000 yuan, as much as 900,000 yuan, this money is enough to shut everyone up.

When the specific figures of the second batch of cattle and horses were in place, and when Qian Zhuang also admitted that there would be at least 20 million yuan of funds, which would be gathered in Weizhou through channels, officials from all over Weizhou moved.

The state capital, in some of the depleted funds, mobilized a large part of it, and even next year's budget was taken out in advance to support this bull and horse conference.

It's pitiful to say, even if the state government mobilizes funds from all aspects, the final funds mobilized are only 20,000 yuan, but 20,000 yuan greatly supported the opening of the Cattle and Horse Conference.

Although it is said that the northwest side also supported some materials, but there was no manpower at all, Weizhou fully supported this initiative, and used government funds to levy a lot of people's power.

This greatly accelerated the speed of the Weizhou Cattle and Horse Conference, where is there a lot of manpower in Lingzhou, and even a large number of Western Xia prisoners, the total number of them exceeds 200,000, most of them are young and middle-aged, but the amount of work in Lingzhou is definitely much larger than that of Weizhou, plus other concerns, it is almost impossible for Han Qi to let them enter Weizhou, and now there is Weizhou here, to start these constructions, that is the best choice.

One by one buildings were built, even if it was relatively simple, but it also made this Weizhou conference more smooth, a large number of cattle and horses entered, and a large number of people entered in the future, which can be successfully received, and the opening day is getting closer and closer.
