On August 26, the Western Army Camp in Xining Prefecture.

Xin Xi presented the decree and the letter of appointment, and once again assumed the post of commander-in-chief of the Western Military Power, and at the same time handed over another edict to Han Qi.

Han Qi shook his head after reading the edict: "This matter is difficult to do!" ”

"Xin Shiyi, you won't persuade Your Majesty and the Queen Mother?" Han Qi opened his mouth with some reproach, after all, in his opinion, Xin Shiyi had this weight, but Xin Shiyi chose to do nothing.

Xin Zhen shook his head: "Han Xianggong said that he laughed, Xin Zhen has not been crowned yet, how can he be qualified to meddle in the affairs of the palace?" ”

Han Qi was speechless for a while, and then he remembered that Xin Shiyi had indeed only turned seventeen, although what he had done and the current official position of the commander of the Shadow Guard Army and the commander-in-chief of the Western Military Power had raised his status by a few steps.

However, if you don't crown it, you don't crown it!

It's like the 'Under Eighteen' series that followed, and that's a hard and fast rule.

Therefore, if there is an uncrowned Xin Xi to persuade the official family and the empress dowager, it will inevitably lead to some unnecessary troubles, such as those Confucian scholars criticizing this kind of non-conforming behavior.

"In this way, the old man still has to be this unflattering person!" Han Qi stroked his beard, his face full of sadness.

The disharmony between the two palaces is still caused by a blood relationship, and if you want to settle this problem, you have to let the official family and the queen mother take a step back.

In this way, it is equivalent to Han Qi organizing the official family to give his father a name, which is basically a complete offense to the official family, and on the other hand, the queen mother must completely return to power......

Headache.

Shaking his head, Han Qi looked at Xin Qi and asked, "This time, I also heard some secret news, saying that Your Majesty is preparing to attack Dali?!" ”

Xin Zhen nodded.

"Dali is a small country, and the land is barren, it doesn't make much sense to fight or not, how can you have such an idea?!" Han Qi was very curious and puzzled: "What's more, the treasury is empty, there is no money and no food, how to fight?" ”

Xin Xi hesitated for a moment, and chose to say directly: "Han Xianggong, Dali is by no means a barren place as most people think, besides, the last time I went to Tianzhu, the kid found that the elephants in Tianzhu galloped not inferior to the horses, so I wanted to connect Tianzhu, buy elephants, and prepare for war with elephants!" ”

"Elephants?! Cao Chong called the elephant?! Han Qi opened his mouth in surprise.

"That's right! Although the elephant is large and clumsy, it is not weaker than the speed of the war horse, and because of its larger size, it can be even more terrifying! ”

"However, the treasury has no money after all, it is this time that provoked the war between Tubo and Western Xia, and the people still have a national debt of 130 million yuan!" Han Qi became more and more worried, when he first heard that the national debt was gathering money, he also sighed that Xin Shiyi was a real ghost.

But now, as the war is about to end, when he thinks of the 130 million yuan national debt, Han Qi's heart is cold.

That's money borrowed by the people like the credibility of the Great Song Dynasty, and if it can't be paid back at that time, I'm afraid it will be full of wolves immediately.

The country's finances have reached such a moment of crisis, this Xin Shiyi has the art of management, and he doesn't think about how to make money, but he is especially thinking about attacking Dali, but because of the special status of the Shadow Guard, the four ministers are not very good at refuting Xin Shi's war proposal.

"Eleven Lang, Dali is a small country, and don't care about him for now, you should first manage your industries well, solve the treasury problem, and then talk about attacking Dali, and the elephant guards against the Liao country to the south, it is reasonable, but, in the old man's opinion, Liao and Song, there will be no war within fifty years!" Han Qi persuaded hard.

Xin Xi was speechless, Dali is indeed a small country, and even as long as the money and food are enough, the Great Song Dynasty can defeat it within a month, but this crucial step cannot be delayed.

Once the attack on Dali is delayed, when the time comes, the Tianzhu Buddha Gate may all be gone, so when the Western Regions Capital is rebuilt, there will be one less help.

Even, if the Tianzhu Buddhism Gate has been completely gone, and the Gupta Dynasty completely unifies Tianzhu, when the time comes, it may not be a simple attack on Dali.

At that time, Tubo must have recovered from this war, and Tianzhu has also stabilized, if Dali gives Tianzhu benefits, and then declares himself a vassal to Tubo, then attacking Dali, if you are not careful, you will face the power of three countries!

"When it comes to money, don't worry, Xin is here to make money!" Xin Zhen said indifferently.

Han Qi is helpless and seeks money?

Make money on this border where birds don't?!

"Hey! Eleven Lang take care! Han Qi was helpless, said goodbye and left, he was going to go to Bianjing, he would definitely have a good talk to Zhao Shu and completely eliminate the matter of attacking Dali.

Otherwise, this good Song Dynasty may really cause chaos in the world because it can't repay the national debt!

As Han Qi left, Xin Xi sighed slowly, turned his head to look at Master Xuyi on the side and said, "Master, do you think Xin can make money at this border?!" ”

Master Xuyi shook his head: "The monks don't know how to make money, and the old man can't guess it!" ”

Your sister, I didn't let you guess!

Xin Yi turned his head and looked at Xin Yi: "Xin Yi, what do you think?!" ”

Xin Yi shook his head: "It's difficult, Xin Yi really can't see what can make money in this place." ”

Xining Prefecture, which is desolate everywhere, Yuanren Duoquan City, Datong, and even Haiyan by Qinghai Lake in Tibet, are all staging battles between the two armies all the time.

Moreover, this piece, eighty percent of the land is yellow sand, and there is no grass, how can you make money?!

Xin Xi shook his head slightly, sure enough, the entire Great Song Dynasty, no, if the Western Xia and Tubo people could know his idea of wanting to make money here, they probably wouldn't believe it.

The whole world will not believe that he can make money in this desolate place!

"If you can't see it, it doesn't mean that everyone can't see it!" Xin Xi sighed leisurely and looked up at the sky: "Money, this kind of thing, has always had value because of the existence of people!" ”

And this place, although barren, but there are a lot of people!

Xin Yi smiled slightly, and said: "Xin Yi, immediately ordered, an hour later, the Chinese army camp will hold a meeting, all the generals above the middle level must be present, in addition, bring a word to the Yang family in Luoyang, this August day, the rice and chestnut rice have been ripe, let them in the Great Song Dynasty, even Dali, Vietnam, and even Liaoguo, as long as their commercial houses can reach the place, they will give me all the strength to buy grain!" ”

Buying grain?!

Xin Yi was puzzled, could it be that Eleven Lang was going to sell grain? Can the grain be transported to Xining Prefecture, and I am afraid that it will consume 30% on the way, and then sell it?! (Guess how to make money, guess right, the author will send red envelopes in the group!) ）

It's basically not going to make money!

But Xin Yi still nodded in agreement and turned away respectfully.

An hour passed in a flash.

At the beginning of the military tent meeting, it was said that it was a military tent, but it was because there were too many officers above the middle level, more than 30,000 people.

It turns out that the army has begun to be redundant, in the 600,000 army, there are 30,000 middle-level officers, this Nima is too terrifying, you know, the so-called middle-level officers, at least 500 masters, can barely be counted as middle-level officers!

Xin Xi felt that the army of the Great Song Dynasty must also begin to be simplified, and those displaced people who were collected due to natural disasters must have some industry and disperse these people, and then the army should be replenished with young and strong people.

For a meeting of 30,000 people, there are obviously not many venues that can be installed in the state city of Xining.

Therefore, Xin Xi had to change the meeting place outside the city, and all the officers honestly stood in the yellow sand, under the scorching sun, and did not hear anything, but heard the announcement from above, the officials below the fourth rank should go back to their respective homes, and the officials above the fourth rank would enter the city to meet in the big tent of the Chinese army.

The officials below the fourth grade said that they were very confused, but it was the first time that they found that there were so many officials, so they could set up an army of "officials" in the real sense!

After cutting the number of officials below the fourth grade, the number of people in this meeting was reduced to more than 200 people, and Xin Xi didn't bother to pick a place, so he started the meeting directly in the former county government of Xining Prefecture.

He sat high on the seat of the county lord like Bao Qingtian, with tokens and shocking trees on the table, but unfortunately, the servants with the killing rods were all driven away.

“Duang！” There was a shocking sound, even if there was no BGM that killed the mighty sticks and the 'mighty' of the officers, it still looked quite imposing.

It's just that the 200 or so people are obviously confused, and one of them is sitting upright, not squinting, for fear that the commander-in-chief of the Western military power is here to make trouble.

After a while, Xin Xi also felt that it was not good to frighten his subordinates for the sake of his addiction to the county master, so he cleared his throat and said: "Now, Western Xia and Tubo are still at war, since the founding of the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, they both have feuds with my Great Song Dynasty, and Tubo, when it was still the Tang Dynasty, forced Princess Wencheng to leave the countryside to marry, it is also a feud, so, everyone said, the two enemies have done it, what should we do?!" ”

Two enemies have started to fight, what should we do?!

This style of painting is wrong, Han Xiang will not ask such a boring question at the public meeting!

But with the death of Lu Xu, which was praised by their predecessors, these officers really didn't dare to question Xin Xu, lest they be like that Lu Xu, who was inexplicably cut off his head, not to mention, and was not allowed to enter the Lu family ancestral hall and be buried in the Lu family cemetery.

Yes, the follow-up to that incident was like this, when Lu Xu's body was sent back to the Lu family, accompanied by Xin Xi's sentence 'If you are not convinced, come to me!' In the end, the Lu family meeting decided that Lu Shu was expelled from his ancestral hometown, not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and not to be buried in the Lu family cemetery.

It's bleak!

"them!" Someone shouted.

Everyone explained and turned their heads to look at the place where the voice came from, and looked, Xia Zhi Xia Pingjun, okay, it turned out to be Xia Zhu's son back then.

As for who Xia Zhu is, during the Battle of Haoshuichuan that year, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan were the leaders, and Xia Zhu was the first person in the military.

So, since it is the son of that reckless man, there is naturally no surprise.

Then the crowd shouted like bugs: "Kill them!" ”

Xin Zhen was speechless, when he was a student in the past, when he was an employee of the company, he himself liked to follow the clouds, at least without merit or fault, but now, after he sat in the position of this boss, he realized what a disgusting creature he was!

Grass mud horse!

Easing the unhappiness in his heart, Xin Xi looked at the person who spoke first and asked, "What if you can't do it?!" ”

Can't do it?!

This............

Natsuji's head is a little short-circuited......

"The commander asks you! Natsuji! "Someone is starting to pat themselves on the back.

Xia Zhi was nervous and blurted out: "Then make a black hand and kill them!" ”

The audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked directly at Xia Ji with a look of 'so you are this kind of person'.

In this era, the methods of the next three indiscriminate are extremely shameful.

Xin Xi laughed: "Well, it makes sense, Sun Ziyun; 'Soldiers don't get tired of deceit! 'Xia Ji, very promising! ”

The audience was extremely surprised, and their faces were full of weirdness, what kind of person are they, the commander-in-chief!

Xin Xi said directly: "Bring the map up!" ”

Two Forbidden Armymen stepped forward carrying a bundle of quilt-like things from the side, walked to the center of the hall, and completely pushed the map out and flattened it.

Xin Xi got up, walked over, stood in the center of the map, and said, "Xia Zhi!" ”

"The last general!"

"You lead an army, well, 30,000 people! After breaking into pieces and infiltrating Xixia Renduoquan City, I don't care what method you use, give me the Blue Sky Valley! Hold out until I give the order to retreat! ”

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned, looked at the map, and said loudly: "Obey!" ”

"Planter Dao!" Drink hard!

However, the audience was deserted......

Who is the special seed master?!

Xin Zhen was slightly embarrassed, the Seed Master Dao is not called the Seed Master Dao at this time!

Xin Zhen coughed twice, and then said: "Call you, Chong Jianzhong, Ben Shuai gave you a famous teacher, are you willing?!" ”

Anyway, they have already shouted out, and if they don't resolve this embarrassment, it will damage their majesty, so they will rob Zhao Ji's naming rights in the future.

Chong Jianzhong paused slightly, UU read the book Isn't this the time to give an order, why do you suddenly want to change my name?

He turned his head and looked at the second uncle and his father and others, only to see that after the seed and the others nodded slightly, the seed master replied: "Yes." Thank you for the name! ”

Xin Xi slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Planter Dao!" ”

"The last general!"

"You lead an army, 30,000 people, go west to Datong, break into pieces and sneak into the territory of Tubo, no matter what, take Gahai for me! Hold on until I give the order! ”

"Yes!"

"Plant!"

"The last general!"

"Give you 30,000 people, break them into pieces, enter Tibet from Huangyuan, cut off the inverted river, and hold on until I give the order!"

"Yes!"

One order after another was passed out, and the Western Army, which had rested for more than two months, moved again!
