Chapter 423: The Opposite
A turmoil ended because of Han Qi's words, a Lingzhou excuse directly blocked all the attacks of the conservatives, although those conservatives were still unwilling, but they didn't say much, there is a reason, you can argue with Han Qi, if you are really unreasonable, you really want Han Qi's means to give it in vain.
Han Qi didn't entangle with them too much, and returned to the topic, tonight, there will be a banquet to entertain everyone, and in the next few days, before these officials go back, he will entertain them well.
As long as 1o days of investigation, especially through them, after achieving the goal, Han Qi was very generous, although there were some twists and turns in the middle, and he was scared by these conservatives, but it didn't matter, the prime minister could support the boat in his belly, and this person was also ordered to come, and he really wanted to scare the people behind him.
Han Qi is very ambitious and has a strong purpose, but he will not mess around casually for no reason, and at the same time, civil officials and military generals are also two different people, so there is no need to use his strength on them.
At this time, at that time, sometimes, it is also a good choice to let go.
Good wine and good food are not just talking, but really good wine and good food.
In the northwest, there is a shortage of grain, but there is not much lacking, after all, under the Weizhou Conference, plus the trade with the merchants, a certain amount of grain has been replenished, and at the same time, in the Liao State, 2o thousand strong laborers have been obtained, and these people cannot go hungry.
Engaged in heavy physical labor, the daily consumption is very terrible, before the change, Han Qi would never return to such a heart, but after the previous 150,000 labor, after the final effect, Han Qi really recognized Zhao Xin's opinion.
Talent is the most important, as long as people will work hard in a down-to-earth manner, then to ensure his basic consumption, this is a very simple thing.
Under the large amount of animal power, a large number of personnel, and the advanced construction methods from the Dinghai Navy, the northwest has been developed very steadily, and on this basis, there are 2o more people, and how much their rations can be consumed.
A large amount of grain was delivered, including a large amount of liquor, and the northwest was quite bitter cold, especially in winter, and the cold northwest wind was not just talking, and if there were spirits, it was even better than grain at some point.
Since there are spirits, of course, there will also be a small amount of good wine, itself, it is these merchants who thank Han Qi, of course Han Qi will not take such a advantage, but the things have already been sent, and the quantity is not much, so I bought it at the original price, and it was originally used when I was ready to give it, and it happened to be used here.
With a part of the grain, made, simple pastry, you can do it, and it will not be really pastry-based, that is not laughing off the big teeth, the real good thing, or rely on meat.
As for meat, there may not be much pork, there is a lot of beef and mutton, and there are fewer vegetables and the like, but fortunately, on the grassland, everything grows, and there are no cultivated vegetables, but there are some wild vegetables, and wild mushrooms, which are impossible to use to the whole army, but there is no problem in entertaining these officials.
Back at the campsite, the whole camp began to be busy, as early as earlier today, Han Qi had already begun to prepare, a total of more than 1oo people, slaughtered 1o sheep, a cow, and some game from hunters, all roe deer, shrubs and the like, there are also some pheasants and hares, these can be regarded as good ingredients.
There are also all kinds of fungi collected in the past, on the grassland, not only grass, but also where there is a fragile balance, especially after a heavy rain, on the grassland, there will be a lot of mushrooms.
They often live on the grassland, they will feel their deliciousness, they have experience, will not collect poison, can eat, dry, and stay, it is also a unique thing on the grassland.
In addition to mushrooms, there are also wild vegetables, wild onions, and some other things, some of which are common on the grassland, and some of which are rare even on the grassland, and all of them were taken out for this banquet.
Coupled with the pro-soldiers, as well as some high-status generals in the northwest, a total of more than 2oo people, formed a huge circle, with Qiang style bonfire conference, mainly barbecue, taking into account some food, plus wine, it can be said that the guests and hosts are happy.
Most people are happy, although it is not a good wine that Bianliang is famous for, but it is also a rare high-quality wine in the northwest, plus a unique flavor of barbecue, game, and a variety of delicious mushrooms, before there is no seafood, these mushrooms with different tastes are natural monosodium glutamate, which can enhance the umami of the soup.
The unique banquet and careful arrangement still make many people very comfortable.
But those conservatives are like chewing wax, and they don't taste anything they eat.
After coming for so many days, I thought that I would be able to catch Han Qi's weakness, which was also the fundamental reason why they came to Lingzhou thousands of miles away, but they didn't expect that they would fail when they obviously grasped it.
Where there is a reward, there is a punishment, and they shudder at the thought of what punishment they will receive when they go back.
Conservatives are all nobles, and they may not have such monstrous power as a privy envoy, but they have more means, and it is still easier to pinch them, five or six officials, and even attack them from the family, shadow, and even all aspects.
After this non-drinking feast, these absent-minded people gathered together again, and in the huge tent, more than twenty gathered, but none of them spoke, and they were all a little silent
At this time, they no longer have the heart to think of a way, thinking about how to explain, of course, the focus is still on the Lingzhou water conservancy project, which is probably the only place for them to excuse.
It's not that they don't work hard, but Han Qi has created a miracle on the basis of Lingzhou, an unimaginable miracle.
This miracle is force majeure, which is the root of their failure, although so, some people touted Han Qi, but they were helpless to the last choice.
understands this, but let them admit defeat, which is more or less unwilling, and no one has spoken for a long time,
Tonight's banquet was carried out very late, everyone had worked hard for more than ten days, and it was easy to have such an opportunity to have a carnival, many people drank too much, but unfortunately they had no intention of drinking, but they would not come back until about the same time.
At this time, there was a sound of beating the watch outside, and before I knew it, it was already late at night, and a highest-ranking official said in a deep voice: "It's late, let's go back, no matter what, this information must be sent back, if we can't interfere, then Han Qi wants to go back, we must prepare in advance, of course, the water conservancy project in Lingzhou should also be said, this is the best way to open up." ”
For conservatives, the previous year was the most uncomfortable year, but fortunately, it was not long, and some of Fan Zhongyan's measures were canceled because they were not successfully carried out.
It's easy to live a good life, and then they have to fight back to their original shape, the competition between the conservatives and the reformers is still intensifying, and they, the bottom, are probably the most dangerous, not only did they not complete this task, but they are still facing Han Qi on the front.
Han Qi's future, as long as it is a person, can see clearly, if they can delay him for a few years, they can live well, but now that this goal has not been achieved, and their own tasks have not been completed, you can imagine what it will be like after going back.
Just when everyone was about to go back like this, one of the young seven-rank officials suddenly said, this young officer from the Guo family of Jiangmen is the nephew of Queen Guo, but the distance is far, but it can be regarded as a famous family.
In this operation, he has not shown anything, but at this time, he suddenly said: "Did you miss something, I think, there is still hope!" ”
Missed a few officials who had faintly felt different before also nodded but they didn t understand what it was could it be that guo thought of.
After Guo Shi saw the attention of many people, he became more excited and said loudly: "There are several seizures in Lingzhou, among them, the transaction between Xingqing Mansion and Liao State is also a fixed number, and it can always be deduced approximately!" ”
After saying such a thing in one breath, Guo Shi was a little proud, he was also a whimsical idea before, and then he thought of the key to this problem, which is simply a stroke of genius, which can break the previous predicament in one fell swoop.
The Wupin Jingguan followed and said: "It is true from this above, as long as we can prove that there are no 1oo million cattle in Lingzhou, it is fine, but what do we say." ”
”
Guo's statement made the eyes of everyone who were a little sad bright, if this problem can really be solved, it means that Han Qi's statement has been broken.
But after this leader affirmed Guo's statement, it was a basin of cold water, of course he had thought about similar things, and even thought farther than this young man, this method, there is a problem in the hearts of the important people, that is, why did Han Qi tell them
The specific number seized in Lingzhou, this is the biggest problem, maybe before they arrive, this will not be a secret, but no one will count and disseminate it, now, after their arrival, they are so picky all the way, I didn't expect to find out this number for the first time, and now, I almost tore my face with Han Qi, so it is even worse.
To be honest, for this official, it feels like everything in Lingzhou is a bit of a hell.
Lingzhou, that is not a state that belongs to the northwest, or the Northern Song Dynasty, that belongs to the Western Xia, in such a country, almost completely hostile, it is absolutely impossible to figure out how many cattle and horses he has, I am afraid that even the Western Xia itself will not know how many cattle and horses exist in Lingzhou.
This is really not a joke, that is, the Northern Song Dynasty has such perfect statistics, but it may not be difficult to figure out how much land there is in a city, but it is a little too difficult to figure out how much land there is, and this is not a problem that the Northern Song Dynasty can solve.
If there is Xixia here, maybe you can think of a way to get at least an approximate number, such as population, and then pastures, and roughly calculate the number, but now that even Xixia has perished, I am afraid that the real number is only known to Han Qi.
Then this method has a dead knot, since Han Qi used this method to prevaricate them, it is definitely impossible to get the real number from him.
Guo Shi didn't expect that the method he thought of would be such a result, so he gave up like this, and he was really unwilling
He has successfully made a start, and these people can be regarded as the more outstanding talents in the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty.
It's very simple, as long as you think about it from the opposite direction, then everything is a little suddenly clear, didn't Han Qi say that everything was seized from Lingzhou, and they will graze here in Lingzhou to support the immigrants this time, so okay, they can draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.
They can go to the Dongfu and take back those cattle of Lingzhou and the Peace, in their opinion, what Han Qi said must be a lie, they can't go to the Western Xia side to determine how much is seized, and they can't let Han Qi tell them this number, but the number of the Lingzhou Peace Discussion is confirmed, as long as this number is caught, Han Qi's movements will be very small.
The reason why Han Qi is so wealthy and even started the terrible northwest water conservancy project, although they can't say that they have seen it all, but they have seen most of it, this is a huge project that is terrible to the extreme, if they don't see it in person, they won't believe it anyway, in the border of the northwest, there will be such a terrible water conservancy project, terrible to the extreme.
Then, it would be good to erase his strongest place, more than 2ooo head of livestock, this is the result of the Lingzhou Peace Conference, in principle, it is also the income from the Privy Council and the center, especially those later Shu brocade, of which thousands of horses, are all taken out in the palace, resulting in the current high-ranking concubines in the Northern Song Dynasty Palace, not even the clothes of the season, so there is no problem.
The most complicated thing is this number, and they can directly solve the fundamental problem without considering this aspect of the problem.
Sometimes, thinking about it the other way around, it suddenly becomes clear, they think about it a little, and they understand that a small Lingzhou, how many livestock can there be, hundreds of thousands of heads are already a lot, and they even deliberately ignore the Weizhou Cattle and Horse Conference, if the center also picks out the cattle and horse conference from the middle, then Weizhou will sell 5o million cattle and horses, this number is going to be topped, in Han Qi's hands, there is really nothing left, as long as this number is not enough, it will be a big problem.
Soon, under the sum of several people, the whole plan was perfected, although the Lingzhou peace conference was handed over to Han Qi to deal with, it did not mean that all the results of the peace conference would be handed over to Han Qi to deal with, this was just temporarily placed here, and now it was time to take it back.
However, no matter how factional they are, this initiative is not something that a few ordinary middle-level officials can do, they must ask for instructions from above, they must get the support of conservatives, they record everything that happened when they came to Lingzhou, and then write out the requirements.
That night, they made a notebook, and then handed it over to the eight hundred li expedited, as long as a week later, if they wanted to, they could continue to carry out their orders, and at that time, perhaps, Han Qi would not even be able to make up the amount of this Lingzhou peace agreement.
