After Kou Zhun left the Yang Mansion, he went to find Lu Duan.

Lu Duan agreed very much with Kou Zhun's proposal to pay the Great Song Dynasty, and happily agreed that he would personally go out and be sure to come from the Great Song Dynasty with a large amount of food.

The next day.

Yang Qi wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to Lu Duan.

Lu Duan took the letter and set foot on the road to Bianjing City.

Lu Duan had set foot on the journey to Bianjing City countless times, but none of them could make him feel so complicated.

Hesitation, uneasiness, darkness, emotion, etc.

Mixed tastes.

After sending Lu Duan away, Yang Qi returned to the house to play with his son.

Xiao Zongwei has been able to call people recently, his voice is very loud and sweet, and Yang Qi likes to listen to it very much.

Early spring has arrived.

In the back garden of Yang's mansion, the cold plums were scattered all over the ground, miserable, and the plum petals fell to the ground, as if covering the garden with a layer of blood.

Miserable and beautiful.

The peach tree spits faint green shoots, emerald green and some yellow, and in the sun, it is covered with a layer of golden glow.

There is a blanket under the peach tree, which is three feet square.

Yang Qi likes to let children crawl on the ground.

Because he stood on the side, he could clearly see their innocent backs, and see their cute and clumsy jubilant movements.

Xiao Zongwei also likes to climb on the blanket, climbing without any hindrance.

From the blanket under the peach tree, he climbed to the edge of the blanket under the cold plum tree, and a pair of chubby little hands grabbed the cold plum petals on the ground and prepared to stuff them into his mouth.

The quick-eyed maid hurriedly stopped the young master who was the most favored by women in this house.

Why do you say that you are the most favored by women?

Because of his identity, he is the most favored young master in the house.

However, in the eyes of the maids, the great tiger marquis Yang Yansi doesn't seem to like his son.

He lay on the soft couch, watched his son crawl around, watched his son grab the mud-stained cold plum petals to eat, but he was indifferent.

He seemed to prefer the silly little Di Qing lying at his feet, his limbs facing the sky.

Every time he saw Xiao Diqing falling, clumsy on all fours, as if he couldn't turn over with a turtle shell on his back, he smiled very proudly.

"Puff~"

Xiao Di Qing, who had just gotten up, fell clumsily to the ground again.

caused Yang Qi to laugh heartily.

Di's mother, who had a complicated mind, watched her son's clumsy performance from the sidelines, and she wanted to step forward to help her.

But she was afraid of the majesty of the Tiger Marquis.

After all, her son was no longer exclusive to their Di family.

When Di Saburo was not there, Yang Qi, who was the master, was far more vocal than Di Mu's everything about Xiao Di Qing.

"You are also the tiger marquis in charge of one side now, can you not be so evil?"

Cao Lin affectionately helped the newcomer with a big belly to enter the garden, and glared at Yang Qi who was lying on the soft couch laughing loudly with dissatisfaction.

Yang Qiyi picked up Di Qing, who had no strength to turn over, and said with a smile: "The little guy will be a person who will do big things in the future, and having a good figure is the most important thing." Turning over is the first step. ”

These words were said to Cao Lin, and they were also comforting Di's mother.

Cao Lin helped Chu Xing to sit down, snatched Xiao Di Qing from Yang Qi's hand, and stuffed it into Di Mu's arms.

Di Mu hugged Xiao Di Qing tightly, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch him.

Cao Lin sat on the blanket and said angrily: "How old is this child, how can you be sure that he will be able to do great things in the future?" ”

Cao Lin's tone was a little apprehensive.

Yang Qi lay down on the soft couch again, and said leisurely: "With a capable master like me, it would be strange if he couldn't do big things." ”

Cao Lin glanced at Yang Qi with resentful eyes, "Who is your son, why are you so partial, you care about Di Qing everywhere, but you don't care about Zongwei's children." There are already people in the mansion gossiping, saying that Di Qing may be your illegitimate child. ”

As soon as these words came out, Di Mu's face turned pale, and then a little blush filled the air.

She really wanted to run away with her son in her arms.

Yang Qi sat up and said angrily: "The one in the house who chews his tongue behind his back, believe it or not, I chopped him up to feed the dog?" ”

Cao Lin said coquettishly: "The concubine body is the first, you chop the concubine body first." ”

Yang Qi lay down again speechlessly.

Chu woke up and covered his mouth and snickered.

Lying on the soft couch, Yang Qi said quietly: "As long as it is a literati from the Great Song Dynasty, they all owe him and owe him a due treatment." As a literati from the Great Song Dynasty, I am atoning for the sins of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

What Yang Qi said was confusing.

Everyone looked puzzled, not understanding what a little guy who was more than a year old could make the literati of the Great Song Dynasty owe him.

They could feel the sincerity in Yang Qi's language, but they were always unpredictable.

Yang Qi didn't explain too much.

Cao Lin hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Then...... Did the literati of the Great Song Dynasty owe Xiao Zongwei? ”

Yang Qi shook his head and smiled, "The literati of the Great Song Dynasty don't owe Xiao Zongwei anything......

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Qi said again: "But Da Song owes us the Yang family." I'm the one who collects debts. ”

Cao Lin said angrily: "Can this be a reason for you to favor Di Qing and ignore Xiao Zongwei?" ”

Yang Qi laughed and said, "Is there a father who doesn't hurt his son?" I just haven't learned how to be a father yet. ”

When it comes to teaching and educating people, Yang Qi has no teacher.

But for being a father, Yang Qi was a little confused.

What he is most confused about is what kind of person he should let his son become in the future.

According to the thinking of future generations, let the child become a healthy, happy person with a bright future?

Or let the child become a knowledgeable person?

However, he is well aware.

In this respect, the thinking of later generations is not applicable.

As Yang Qi's eldest son-in-law, he is destined to become a family business that inherits everything from Yang Qi.

Yang Qi's family business is full of the taste of power.

The struggle for power is bloody.

He didn't want his children to fight for power in the future.

He was even a little scared, afraid that he would die if he died.

His children, for power, began to fight.

So he doesn't know what to teach a child to be.

If you are too weak, you will definitely be bullied.

This is contrary to his original intention.

It's too tough, and it's destined to kill because of it.

'It is the father's fault not to teach. ’

This sentence was said lightly.

But only when the child makes a mistake does the father know how terrible this sentence is.

Shen Lun is a living example.

Fortunately, Shen Lun's family business is far less big than Yang Qi's.

So it's not going to be bloody.

But Yang Qi's family business is different.

He owns an empire.

Within this empire, there is not only territory, but also an army, and a money empire that can control the entire East Asian economy.

With such a large empire, it is impossible not to produce killings at the time of the transfer of power.

"Hey......"

Yang Qi felt that he was thinking a little long-term.

But when Zhao Defang did not hesitate to use the jade seal of the country to lure him into the bait and help Zhao Defang seize the throne.

He felt the thick smell of blood.

"Did the concubine say the wrong thing?"

After understanding Yang Qi's heart, Cao Lin became very considerate.

She can always touch the softest place in Yang Qi's heart, and prick it down, making Yang Qi helpless against him.

Yang Qi shook his head indifferently, "There is no ......"

Cao Lin saw that Yang Qi was still in a bad mood, so he asked, "Is Lang Jun worried about sending troops to help the imperial court defend against the Liao?" ”

Yang Qi was stunned and said with a smile: "What do I have to worry about?" ”

The concubine looked at Lang Jun in a bad mood, and the only troubles that have happened recently are this one. Lang Jun is unhappy, it must have something to do with this matter. Moreover, Lang Jun had promised to help the imperial court defend against the Liao, but Lang Jun was slow to mobilize troops and horses. Isn't it because I'm worried? ”

The head of Cao Lin's analysis is Dao.

Yang Qi shook his head and smiled.

"The reason why I have been reluctant to mobilize troops is not because of concern. Because, from beginning to end, whether this war is fought or not, how to fight, the choice is not in the imperial court, but in the hands of the Liao.

Therefore, any decision of the imperial court will not affect me.

The Liao people went south to find the imperial court, not me. So they won't trespass into my land.

It is even more impossible to provoke me again when they are fighting with the Great Song Dynasty.

Fighting on two fronts has never been a stupid thing.

Jeruhugo is not a stupid person, so naturally he will not provoke me.

Besides......"

Yang Qi grinned and said, "Whether the Liao people can go south or not is a question. Why should I be in a hurry to send my troops? ”

Cao Lin was stunned and said, "What does Lang Jun mean that the Liao people may not go south?" ”

"It's hard to say, even if they go south, they will be under a lot of pressure......"

……

Yang Qi is right, waving troops to the south is indeed a great pressure for the current Liao State.

What is the war fought?

Strategy? Art? The benefits of armor?

And that's only part of the story.

A large part of it is money and food.

Liao used to be very rich, and even if he ran out of money, he could ask his neighbors to 'borrow'.

In the autumn of each year, it is the day when Liao asks his neighbors to borrow money.

Groups of Liao ** soldiers would ride war horses, break into the neighbors' houses, and heroically borrow their money and food from the angry neighbors.

However, since Yang Qi appeared in the northwest, this status quo has begun to change.

There are two neighbors in the Liao State who borrowed money, one is the party and the other is the Great Song Dynasty.

After Yang Qi arrived in the northwest, the party item was gone.

Yang Qi not only put an end to the trend of party members being forcibly borrowed by the Liao State, but even asked his subordinates to go to the Liao State to borrow money.

The angry Liao people fought with Yang Qi fiercely.

Lost the fight.

As a result, they can only put their hands into the weaker neighbor's house.

Great Song!

However, the money and food they borrowed from a busy winter were looted by Yang Wuyizhan.

So the Liao State has no money.

Yang Qi seemed to have a soft spot for the money of the Liao State, and he not only sent people to rob the money and grain of the Liao State.

He also secretly dispatched merchants from the south to use stout pumps to extract a large amount of money from Liao.

Therefore, the current Liao State is really poor.

The economic crisis of the Liao State, along with the envoys of the Liao State to the Great Song Dynasty, entered the Shangjing City.

The once prosperous Shangjing City has finally begun to become much more depressed.

In the bustling streets of the past, people began to become sparse.

There are countless people who block the road and rob and even gather to rob.

The sturdy Liao people are used to grabbing things.

Since you can't rob your neighbors, you can only attack your own family.

In just one month.

There have been tens of thousands of robberies in Shangjing.

Under the threat of robbery, shops began to close one after another.

The few shops left were heavily guarded.

"Kill!"

The chariots and horses of the Liao envoys were gorgeous.

I took a trip to the Liao envoy group of the Great Song Dynasty and bought many things in the Great Song Dynasty.

There are also things that they snatch easily.

In short, they look very rich.

As soon as they entered the gate of the capital, they were targeted.

After a violent roar.

Thousands of Liao people rushed out from all directions.

The envoy group of 100 people faced thousands of poor and crazy Liao people.

It was looted and slaughtered in an instant.

Yelu Langzheng, a member of the imperial family, was beheaded and hung in the most conspicuous place on the carriage.

A piece of paper was reported to the palace.

The peaceful and prosperous era that had been whitewashed by officials and nobles for a year finally tore a huge hole in front of Empress Dowager Xiao.

"Bang!"

Empress Dowager Xiao patted the dragon case angrily, holding the music in her hand, trembling all over.

Looking at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces who had just been summoned in the main hall, Empress Dowager Xiao shouted: "Who told the palace what happened to make the royal pro-army leather room army disguise themselves as thieves to rob."

Even, it was my Da Liao's mission that was robbed? Who can tell, and why, exactly? ”

In Shangjing, there are too many clues about the robbery of thousands of people.

The officials in charge of investigating the case easily found the identities behind these thieves.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and he bowed his head in the main hall and did not speak.

Can't say.

As a supporter behind the merchants of the Liao State.

In this economic crisis in Liao, they are full of brains and fat one by one.

Even if there are one or two clean officials, their families will inevitably be tainted with some interests.

So, everyone kept silent.

It's a very ironic thing.

Yang Qi raised prices and earned a large number of gold, silver, money and grain from the nobles of the Liao State.

The Liao aristocracy, through more expensive prices, earned more gold, silver, money and grain from the people.

After an economic crisis, the nobles of the Liao State not only did not lose money because of this, but made more money than before.

In the end, only the people at the bottom suffer.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat.

Overwhelmed, the people of Liao can only use the most primitive means to vent their dissatisfaction.

The hoodwinked Empress Dowager Xiao could only vent her inner dissatisfaction through angry roars.

"Why don't you speak? Dumb? ”

Empress Dowager Xiao was heavy, and in the face of the mute Manchu Dynasty civil and military, she dropped a very threatening sentence, "Since you don't want to speak, this palace will make you unable to speak for the rest of your life." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao can be called a heroic figure.

It's a pity that it's a daughter.

If she is a man, she must be one of the strongest emperors in the history of Liao.

She was full of murderous threats, which made the Manchu civil and military feel afraid.

Someone finally spoke up under the pressure of her Feng Wei.

"Empress Dowager Qi, the minister doesn't know anything else, the minister only knows that the leather room army can't even buy a sheep with the salary and silver they are getting now......"
