On September 26 of the eighth year of Jiayou, frost fell.

This is one of the 24 solar terms, if it is in the Central Plains, it must start a weather change unique to the solar terms, and in Xining Prefecture, it represents the implementation of the interests of the Great Song Dynasty.

In previous years, this was only one of the 24 solar terms that were extremely ordinary, and it was the most ordinary day among the 354 days of the more ordinary year (ancient calendar, 354 days in a normal year, one month more in a leap year, about 383 days or 384 days).

But in a few years, when the Hanlin scholars are repairing the history of the emperor, they will find that the frost fall of the eighth year of Jiayou will become a key day for the Great Song Dynasty to start the road to rise!

There's no need to say anything too far away.

At this moment, 140 million pieces of gold and silver entered Xin Xi's hands, and at the same time, the grain purchased by the Yang family firm from the whole world was also sold, 4.6 million stone of grain, with an average price of 15 yuan per stone of grain, and a total of 69 million yuan!

Of the 69 million guan, after deducting the cost of the Yang family's firm of 3 million guan, there are still 66 million guan, and then, according to the original agreement with the Yang family, Xin Xi handed over 10% of the net profit of 66 million guan, that is, 6.6 million guan, to Li Luo, and Li Luo brought it back to the Yang family.

On September 27, Gahai, Daoliu River, and Blue Sky Valley withdrew.

On September 29, the Western Front completely withdrew its troops, except for the 200,000 elites who continued to defend the national border, and the rest of the people were repatriated wherever they were recruited, but unlike in the past, the 700,000 army, each soldier, was allocated 50 yuan, all of which were divided from the profits earned from the grain of the Yang family trading house.

In total, it cost 35 million yuan, which is like scrap metal for Xin Zhen, who now has 150 million yuan in his hand.

However, this fifty yuan of silver that every soldier has means that Xin Xi is starting to improve the status of the martial artist!

And to improve the status of martial artists, starting with the broadest range of low-level martial artists, that is, soldiers, is the most effective.

The Northern Song Dynasty was an era of the official standard, and the reason why the official standard was released long ago is that the official has a rich salary, that is to say, the so-called official standard is just a variant of the gold standard, or a more chic external embodiment.

Its foundation is still the gold standard, so if the soldiers can get a salary that is not lower than that of an official, is it possible to be higher than the 'military standard' similar to the official standard after a period of time?!

At that time, the title of guest officer may have to be changed to guest army? The official family has been changed to the military family?!

Of course, this is a long way to go, but it is definitely possible to distribute fifty pieces of war money to each soldier and improve the social status of soldiers!

The first day of October, if this first day of October is not the lunar calendar but the solar calendar of future generations, this will probably be a good day for the whole country to celebrate.

But, even if it is not, it is almost a national celebration today!

The news has been spread since September 26, and now, in the entire Great Song Dynasty, everyone knows that in this war called the bloody war of the Three Kingdoms in Xining Prefecture, the Great Song Dynasty has risen, and the Great Song Dynasty has become stronger!

The Great Song Dynasty won the war while facing the two border powers, what war reparations, military reparations or something, the common people don't quite understand, they only know that Xin commanded the envoys, commanded the Great Song army, and won the battle.

Not only did he win the battle, but he also made a lot of money, it is said that he made 200 million yuan!

Oh my God, how much is that?!

The common people who have not gone through the education do not understand what the number of 200 million is at all, and those who have drunk ink do not study mathematics much. After converting for a long time, I realized that 200 million turned out to be 20,000!

People say that Wanguan family wealth, Wanguan family wealth, so, 20,000 Wanguan family wealth, how rich is it? !

Of course, how much is 200 million guan, it has nothing to do with the people, what they know is that from now on, the Great Song Dynasty does not need to give Xixia dog coins, but this point is to make Dexin in an instant, and he has been admired and respected by the entire Qin Fenglu!

The folk slowly fermented different emotions. There are some strange people who began to spread the saying that the Xin family is actually the blood of Taizu among the people, intentionally or unintentionally, and then, there are some strange people who began to say openly and secretly that it is better to let Xin Shu be the emperor than to let Zhao Shu be the emperor.

Suddenly, Xin Xi was slowly pushed to the cusp.

"Commander, this is the information collected from the people, and now, west of Gyeonggi Road and north of Gwangnam Road, almost all rumors are circulating that the commander will be elected as the emperor!" Xin 18 said silently.

Xin XVIII was the person in charge of intelligence in Shuzhong.

And at this moment, Xin Xi has already arrived in Yizhou City.

Xin Yi frowned slightly, his heart beat slowly, seriously, if the Shadow Guard Army did its best, and then there was this people's voice, then it was really very likely that Eleven Lang would be able to replace Zhao Shu and become the new Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!

Merely......

Xin Yi smiled lightly: "Xin Yi, help me write a letter of resignation and hand it to the official family!" ”

"This ......" Xin Yi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Eleven Lang, this is a great time!" If we go with the flow......"

"Homeopathy?! Whose momentum is it to follow? This is something that Western Xia and Liao made up, don't you understand?! Speaking of this, Xin Xi slowly swept over the crowd and said: "The people actually don't know anything, some people shouted, and they just followed the trend, this so-called momentum, too fake, when the time comes, if the Liao State and the Western Xia convert rumors, do you believe that the people who are shouting for me to replace the official family today will be able to point to Lao Tzu's backbone and scold Lao Tzu for being a thief in the future?!" ”

The most important point is that now the Great Song Dynasty has just improved a little, because of the inflow of this 150 million yuan of silver, the Great Song Dynasty has almost reached a situation where it is difficult to return, and it has slowly improved.

If you fall into infighting again, then the previous war wealth will be taken in vain, and if you really want to prepare to usurp the throne, you will rely on the three thousand shadow guards?!

Xin Yi got up and said: "Xin Yi, go ahead, write a letter of resignation and pass it to the official family, will the official family naturally do it, understand that this is a rumor guided by someone with a heart......"

And his resignation is to show that he has no such intentions, of course, it is equivalent to that Xin Zhen's battle was fought in vain, at least, half of the credit will not be gained.

However, he will feel at ease if he can't get the credit, if it is really in such a situation, if Zhao Shu still wants to add him to the rank of knight according to the merit, Xin Xi can't be calm.

Three days later, Xin Xi's resignation appeared on Zhao Shu's desk.

Zhao Shu indifferently looked at the content of the resignation, shook his head slightly, and then looked at the four phases in the living hall, and asked: "There is a message from the people, let Xin Shiyi replace me as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Ouyang Xiu was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "This must be the work of Western Xia, Your Majesty can't blindly believe it!" ”

Han Qi also spoke: "Xin Shiyi is my great Song general, it can be said that he is another Di Qing-like character, and even more powerful than Di Qing, this is a person from Fanbang, you want me to cut off my arm, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!" ”

Zhao Shu smiled slightly, but he was a little jealous in his heart, he had just said it, and two of the four phases jumped out to speak for Xin Shiyi, so if Xin Shiyi really had bad intentions...... Are there two people who will stand on Xin Shiyi's side?!

Half of the four phases are willing to help Xin Shiyi speak, does that mean that in the court, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, and half of them are willing to stand on Xin Shiyi's side? !

The more he thought about it, the more uncertain Zhao Shu's heart became, and he then spoke: "This is the resignation handed over by Xin Shiyi, he is ready to resign from all his official positions, what do you think?!" ”

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu nodded, his eyes were full of satisfaction, and Han Qi said directly: "Xin Shiyi's move is extremely wise, Your Majesty, use this as a reason to suppress Xin Shiyi's military exploits, no punishment, and no increase in official ranks!" ”

Zhao Shu lowered his eyelids and began to think about it, dealing with Xin Xi, in fact, there is no way to do it as he did with Di Qing, Di Qing has no foundation after all, and he is given the position of privy deputy envoy by exception, then Di Qing will inevitably make enemies everywhere in the officialdom and among the generals, and in the end, he will be exiled directly without even being charged, and no one will go against the will of the first emperor, so Di Qing will die of Chen Zhou.

But Xin Xi is different, this kid has the Shadow Guard in his hands, and the Shadow Guard has the handle of civil and military officials in his hands, if he is really innocently exiled, he can refer to the last battle of the Daimyo's Mansion, and there will definitely be countless civil and military generals who will jump out to speak for him.

Even, Ouyang Xiu is his teacher, and Han Qi, an old horseman, doesn't know what's going on, and now he is very close to Xin Shiyi!

If it weren't for these scruples, Zhao Shu really wanted to directly use this exploit to promote Xin Xi to the position of privy envoy, and then after a period of time, he would be exiled at will!

Shaking his head, Zhao Shu nodded again: "Just as Han Xiang said!" ”

Soon, this holy decree was announced to the Quartet, Xin Xi was involved in folk rumors, and the Shadow Guard Army was indifferent, so the merits were offset!

The hat of the commander-in-chief of the Quanxi Army was taken off, and Xin Xi became a simple commander of the Shadow Guard Army who could no longer be a simple commander.

When he returned to Bianjing, it was already the eighth day of October, and after handing over 150 million yuan of silver to the state treasury, Xin Xi walked towards his home without an official.

He went to King Pu's Mansion first, but was told that Sima Yun had gone to Xinjiazhuang.

However, before Xin Xi could reach Xinjiazhuang, a carriage came from behind him and stopped beside him.

The probe was an old eunuch.

"General Xin!" The old eunuch's duck-like voice rang out.

Xin Xi looked back: "What's the matter?!" ”

"Please get in the car!" The old eunuch lowered his eyebrows and opened his mouth.

Xin Zhen frowned slightly, looked at his home, which was only a mile away, and shook his head: "I have to go home first, if it's not urgent, I'll go to the palace later!" ”

The old eunuch's face was full of embarrassment.

At the same time, the curtains on the carriage were lifted, and Zhao Shu, dressed in bright yellow clothes, came out and said softly: "Eleven Lang, get in the car, I want to talk to you!" ”

Xin Xi was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile.

"Xin Yi, you go home first!"

"Whoa!"

When Xin Yi left, Xin Xi slowly walked onto the carriage.

Zhao Shu pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Do it!" ”

Xin Xi was not restrained, and directly clicked and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty is looking for a minister?!" ”

"It's fine!" Zhao Shu was still looking at the scenery outside the window, but the carriage started to move.

It's okay, it's okay, what are you doing with Lao Tzu?!

"The people are shouting a lot!" Zhao Shu came to a sentence inexplicably.

Xin Yi was speechless, and said softly: "It's all rumors, it's just that the Xixia dog can't do anything about me, and I just want His Majesty to clean me up!" ”

This sentence is very standard, Xixia Dog has no way to take him, borrow Zhao Shu to clean him up, that is to say, Zhao Shu can clean him up, Zhao Shu has a way to take him.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhao Shu's mood was obviously much better.

"Your ability to make money is indeed very powerful, are you interested in serving as the third envoy, after these three envoys are divided into three, it is not as good as it was back then!" Zhao Shu slowly spoke, found that the words were inappropriate, and added: "Of course, it's after a while!" ”

Xin Xi smiled slightly: "It's better to decentralize power, if it is financial centralization, then the money of the entire Great Song Dynasty will be in the hands of one person, and when the time comes, I'm afraid it won't be good!" ”

"Don't you want to?!" Zhao Shu shook his head and fell silent.

He suddenly found that he understood the first emperor's intention to kill Di Qing, that is, before Di Qing, Emperor Renzong also wanted to have a general who was enough to guard the country.

But after he really had this general, he was worried that this guy's credit and reputation were too high, and he would threaten his throne!

Now, Zhao Shu is also thinking like this, and what is even more terrifying than Renzong is that he doesn't know where Xin Xi's limit is, and he doesn't know what Xin Xi wants to do at all!

Think about it, a person who can easily get a lot of money if he lacks a lot of money, if such a person has enough fame and force to win the world, it doesn't seem to be difficult!

"What the hell do you want to do?!" Zhao Shu was silent for a long time before finally speaking.

Xin Xi was slightly stunned, but then he understood that Zhao Shu was jealous of him, although this kind of jealousy has always existed, otherwise there would be no battle for the Daimyo's Mansion.

It's just that at that time in the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhao Shu was afraid of the Shadow Guard, and at this moment, what Zhao Shu was afraid of was his hard work!

"The minister just wants to be a capable minister who will never come out of the ages, make the Great Song Dynasty stronger, and let the national glory of the Great Song Dynasty go on for a thousand years!"

A thousand years of national glory?!

In history, the Zhou Dynasty, which lasted the longest in history, was only 800 years, and those 800 years were still 800 years that were completely divided, and more than 400 years later, after entering the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it should not be called the Zhou Dynasty!

Zhao Shu shook his head: "You tell me the truth, what do you want to do, what do you want, An Zhen's heart!" Otherwise, one day, I won't make a move on you! ”
