Sent away the two officials of the Li Fan Yuan, Jia Chaochang's face remained unchanged, as expected, the things on this contract are in line with the standard, in the Li Fan Yuan, the revision of the alliance of the Yuan has just been completed, and it is ready to be renewed soon, even if it is the alliance of the Yuan, there is no such high standard, the emperor's jade seal, private seal, and the seal of the first auxiliary minister, these represent the highest legal efficiency.

That's really the case, Jia Chaochang didn't believe it before, that's right, Western Xia has always been a nightmare for the entire Northern Song Dynasty, accounting for more than 10 million yuan of military spending every year, once there is a wind and grass, it will cause the entire Northern Song Dynasty to shake.

The reason why Han Qi was sent to Western Xia was because Shaanxi suffered a disaster, at this juncture, if there was no minister who could hold his feet to suppress Shaanxi, once a popular uprising broke out, Western Xia took the opportunity to attack, then the result was unimaginable.

The agreement between the Western Xia and the Northern Song Dynasty has been under discussion, and it has been discussed for several years for a peace negotiation, withstanding a series of blackmail from the other party, and even giving in countless steps in the long discussion, which has completed the prototype of this contract, and it is almost agreed to not appear Zhao Xin.

Han Qi's plan was not unanimously agreed upon in the Privy Council, but it was only the support of a few people, plus Ye Qingchen also wanted to give it a try, but even Ye Qingchen, and even Han Qi, they didn't expect that it would be so easy to take it, so simple?

Han Qi's handwritten letters, seals, and documents from the Liao State all prove the authenticity of this matter, and even, the 450,000 people who set off in advance and got back from Xingqing Mansion have been transported to Shaanxi slowly through the road, which cannot be faked.

But the number of 10 million head of livestock almost stunned Jia Chaochang, not to mention the price of Bianliang, even if it is all sheep, 5 guan a head, there are 50 million guan, and there are more cattle and horses, who is paying what, weapons and equipment, and part of the grain.

Han Qi took a serious look, Burenjia will only trade 100,000 sets in the northwest, and the rest will all be traded in Hebei, and the northwest will also trade part of the grain and grass, which is a big problem.

The price of grain and grass is positioned at 5 guan a stone, this price is not high, you know, in the northwest, the price of grain is very high, as high as 5 guan per stone of grain, almost more than 7 times that of Bianliang, and sometimes even exceeded.

It is indeed not cost-effective to exchange grain, but it is not impossible to do, with some special methods, it can still be reduced, especially some miscellaneous grains other than rice, 1 stone of grain, may only be about 300 Wen.

No matter from which aspect, exchanging this is enough, which is a rare opportunity for the Northern Song Dynasty, an opportunity to make money.

There is still a little time before the early dynasty, and after recording the things to be reported, Jia Chaochang once again opened Han Qi's letter, this future is to be submitted to the imperial review, and if you don't read it carefully, I'm afraid you will have to go to the Secretariat to see it.

After being so serious, they really saw something, in addition to the battle between Lingzhou and Xingqing Mansion, Han Qi also fought a field battle.

Maybe it was the destruction of Western Xia, and the terrible deal was so shocking that he almost subconsciously missed this, and now it seems that the most important thing for the Privy Council is precisely this.

The combination of the longbow and the heavy infantry and the heavy cavalry was able to fight the heavy cavalry, which was something that had never been done before.

The Privy Council is a military institution, that is, the highest body of the military in the Northern Song Dynasty, he manages everything related to the military, and the merit of the army is the merit of the Privy Council.

Previously, before Han Qi went to the northwest, he had mentioned that the benefits of the longbow and the fortress, the benefits of the fortress can be seen, the Northern Song Dynasty itself is known for its defense, and the fortress can know this input-output ratio as long as it simply says the strength and cost.

Because the investment is not large, the investment of more than 2,500 can at least be equivalent to the defense of large cities, and it can be flexibly placed on the entire defense line, which is not a problem for the current Privy Council.

Defense is this thing, it is put there, and it is good to say that the indicators are good, but how to evaluate this kind of thing, even if Han Qi said that the longbow was in the sky, it also performed very well in the exercise, and even had the experience of the Battle of Baozhou, the experience of annihilating thousands of rebels, but it was related to the military system of the entire Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, how could it be easily changed, and it was already the limit to be able to acquiesce to Han Qi and make changes in the northwest.

But now, 40,000 forbidden troops killed 30,000 iron harriers in the field, and they were completely destroyed without damage, no matter how many prerequisites, but the result is undoubted, even if there are a lot of discounts due to various circumstances, this alone has proved the merits, this is the promotion of military rank.

The more Jia Chaochang looked at it, the more excited he became, and he immediately came to write, and soon, he made up for this item, because he was a privy envoy, and even many steps could be saved, and he could apply for a fund.

According to Han Qi, this longbow doesn't cost much, it seems to have been retained in the Privy Council, if it is really not much, the Privy Council can start in advance, as for all the outfits, you must wait until the third division gives money.

Jia Chaochang hit the idea on Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen has also had a headache recently, he is having a headache about money.

It stands to reason that with the progress of reducing the burden of iron materials and all aspects, the financial expenditure of the three divisions has been greatly reduced, and some of the funds supported by Zhao Xin to Renzong have almost been taken away by Ye Qingchen as start-up funds.

After a large-scale expenditure in the first half of the year, a large-scale return began in the second half of the year, and the financial situation of the three divisions finally improved.

Four years without Qingli, for the third division, it is a earth-shaking change, and it can be said unceremoniously that the change is huge.

The Third Division finally reversed the previous situation, completely eliminated the deficit, and when it first started to use iron materials and save expenses, a lot of funds were not really reduced, after all, they were allocated out, and even to a certain extent, they were relatively strengthened.

But slowly, these administrative appropriations are all fixed amounts, and the savings are quite amazing, and the three divisions finally have a large-scale amount of money to take advantage of.

At this time, Ye Qingchen naturally started a new project, which has always been in his heart, but has not been implemented large-scale water conservancy construction.

Itself, he is ready to move the Yellow River, the construction of the Daling River is a key point, and it can be regarded as pulling a saddle for the galloping Yellow River, but Zhao Xin's proposal, he is still concerned, the Yellow River is too important, must be done carefully, once rashly on the horse, once lost, it will have a big impact.

The Yellow River Basin, Henan Prefecture, Bianliang, Yingtianfu, or the entire Beijing-Hebei region, as well as Hebei, these areas are all political and military areas of the Northern Song Dynasty, and they are all very critical areas.

Zhao Xin's proposal still persuaded Ye Qingchen that the horror of the large-scale project, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, a project that benefits thousands of years, is not the clarion call for the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

Although it is said that the Northern Song Dynasty now has money, it is not the time to start these projects, we must think long-term, first repair from scattered places, and then, when the time is ripe, then come to major projects.

Of course, a large amount of money cannot lie on the books, and Zhao Xin is also very clear about this, so when he vetoed Ye Qingchen's plan for the Yellow River, he also proposed an alternative plan, that is, the comprehensive management of the north.

Hebei, Shanxi and Shaanxi, which in ancient times, were considered to be parallel to the Central Plains, especially Shanxi Shaanxi, which was called Guanzhong, was the land of the Tang Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty, where a brilliant civilization was almost created.

However, the passage of thousands of years of time has overwhelmed the originally rich Guanzhong Plain, and the transitional cultivation, coupled with some unfavorable protection, Shanxi and Shaanxi, which should have been rich and rich, have become the prototype of the Loess Plateau, and water resources are seriously scarce.

Although there is the Yellow River and many tributaries, the situation has gradually deteriorated due to changes in climate and its own conditions.

Zhao Xin's purpose is this, not to do the Yellow River, but on the original basis, enrich the farmland water conservancy construction, this is also only the government has the ability to promote, a county, state, government as the core, just like the Dujiangyan water conservancy project, the whole consideration, with vertical and horizontal ditches, trunk canals, tributaries, and diversion, these form a complete system, using the Yellow River and tributary water sources, lakes, and even some groundwater, to ensure that enough water is poured into the ground, rather than rushing into the sea in vain.

This project looks simple, Ye Qingchen has harvested a large amount of funds on the premise that the stall is a little too big, the first batch is 2 million yuan invested, and it is opened at the same time in 6 roads, taking advantage of the opportunity after the autumn grain, and a large number of people have been dispatched.

Under the premise that money and people are complete, the efficiency is very amazing, it can be said unceremoniously that the 6 roads have been cleaned up, not only found out a lot of hidden dangers, and rectified a lot in time, but also the large-scale expansion of the scope of watering land, for the flood disaster resistance has also been greatly improved.

These benefits that can be seen with the eyes are of course the driving force for Ye Qingchen to continue, and even some officials at the local and central levels applauded, but under such applause, a problem arose.

Ye Qingchen miscalculated the amount of funds for this project, he thought that for 5 consecutive years, 10 million yuan could solve the problem, but for the current financial situation of the third division, 2 million yuan a year is not a problem at all.

However, these projects are not big projects, taking advantage of the busy agricultural season, manpower concentration, plus capital concentration, all of a sudden it will be completely rolled out, it is expected to be completed in 2 years, and the annual investment is more than previously expected, to 8 million, a total investment of about 15 million.

This is going to be an old life, the third division has money, and it is not just to take out seven or eight million yuan, if you want to give up like this, turn the 2-year construction period into 5 years, and a little unwilling, he is embezzling for this, and even thinking of a way to get some money from the Dinghai Navy, but he doesn't know that Jia Chaochang has already hit him with the target.
