Chapter 899: Di Qing also turned bad
Large-scale distribution of personnel outside, Wang Ningan suddenly became much more relaxed, there were not so many old ministers in the court to cause chaos, and the local officials were also trembling, lest they be driven out.
Wang Ningan finally had the kung fu and began to adjust the rule of officials, and last time, with the support of Uncle Zhao, he streamlined the yamen of the two capitals and laid off more than 10,000 officials.
But the local officials have not touched it, and this time it needs to be adjusted.
First of all, Wang Ningan transferred a group of officials who had done well in the local area to the capital, opened up the promotion channels between Beijing officials and foreign officials, and then released a group of veteran officials who had been in the country as officials, breaking the boundary between officials and officials.
Next, it is to lower the threshold of the imperial examination, gradually give up relying solely on articles, and then increase the proportion of admissions.
The entire government must be completely refreshed, Wang Ningan is full of energy, although he is not smearing benevolence and righteousness on the white paper now, but when he sees something unpleasant, he directly distributes it outside, it is really arbitrary, and the power is monstrous.
He is comfortable, and there are people who are even more comfortable, that is Di Qing!
As a northerner, Di Qing didn't have much seasickness, and when he was conquest of Nong Zhigao, Di Qing worked hard, studied water warfare, and stayed on the ship for a few months.
Looking back now, the unintentional move at that time was actually a preparation for today.
After a sea voyage, Di Qing landed in Suzhou.
This Suzhou is not Suzhou, but the original Suzhou of Liao, located at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, with a pleasant climate and picturesque scenery, it is really a bit of a paradise on the sea.
What surprised Di Qing even more was that around the wharf, there were many shops, all of whom were merchants from the Great Song Dynasty, dressed in clothes, and speaking and talking, which were quite friendly.
Di Qing was excited, found a stall to sit down, and together with a few guards, he ordered a total of eight bowls of noodle soup.
It didn't take long for someone to bring the noodles.
Bowls the size of a basin, smooth noodles, good bone broth, toppings, and lots of garlic. When Di Qing and the guards saw it, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to eat.
The noodles are hot and strong, the soup is rich and mellow, and the pores of the sweat all over the body are opened.
One word: cool!
"I really can't imagine that in this kind of place, you can still taste authentic pasta, it's rare, it's rare!" Di Qing exclaimed.
At this time, there was only a one-eyed middle-aged man, who looked to be in his thirties, and his body was very athletic, and when he arrived in front of Di Qing, he suddenly clicked on one knee.
"Subordinate Zhou Feng, meet Di Shuai!"
"Zhou Feng!"
Di Qing was stunned for a moment, looked carefully, and suddenly stood up in shock, stretched out his hand to pull him up.
"You're that Zhou Feng?"
Zhou Fenghan smiled and nodded, "There are many people named Zhou Feng, but the subordinate should be the Zhou Feng you said!" ”
Di Qing suddenly became happy, and hurriedly pulled him to sit down, among those guards, there were actually people who knew him, sighing that he met his old acquaintance in a foreign country, and that intimate strength did not need to be described.
Zhou Feng is very humble, he told his own situation, in the battle in Hengshan back then, he made meritorious contributions, and fought side by side with the big guys, but later because he was involved in the case, he almost lost his life.
Later, he was pardoned and sent to Bohai.
He gave a general overview of the situation.
Di Qing sighed very much, "Anyway, it's good that people are fine, as long as it's a man, it's the same everywhere, you see, don't we come out to make a living!" ”
Zhou Feng said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the imperial court is going to send someone to mediate the war, but I didn't expect that it was Di Shuai who came...... Zhou Feng suddenly lowered his voice and asked with a smile: "Di Shuai, the imperial court asked you to come, not just to mediate, right?" ”
Di Qing laughed, "You kid is also shrewd in business!" ”
Zhou Feng smiled innocently and patted his chest, with a "I understand" expression.
The big guys sat together and ate a bowl of noodles hotly, and their feelings not only came back, but also improved several times. Zhou Feng sighed with emotion: "It's really timely for the imperial court to send Di Shuai over, and we all have a bottom in our hearts." ”
"Oh? If we don't come, what are you afraid of? ”
Zhou Feng was a little embarrassed, he blushed and said, "I, I married a daughter-in-law." ”
Di Qing laughed, "It's a good thing, I'll give you a red envelope when I go back." ”
Zhou Feng laughed and said, "I'm afraid that one red envelope is not enough." ”
"So, how many do you want?"
Zhou Feng stretched out his slap and shook it in front of the big guy!
Suddenly, several veterans were fried, you are a little rabbit cub, you actually married a five-room daughter-in-law, more than Di Shuai, you are not blessed!
They grabbed Zhou Feng's neck and couldn't wait to extract a confession, wondering what kind of luck this kid had handed over.
As mentioned earlier, after Zhou Feng arrived in the Bohai Sea, he bought the oak forest to produce tussah silk...... This is a sought-after commodity, he has now got 20,000 acres of forest land, in addition to dealing in seafood, and the land, opening inns, building restaurants, in terms of value alone, it has already passed 10,000!
"Oh my boy, you've become rich...... Then why are you still here to cook noodles, are you deliberately trying to deceive us? One of the guards scolded with a smile.
Zhou Feng hurriedly waved his hand, "No, absolutely not, I recognized Di Shuai, I'm afraid that their craftsmanship is not good and they will neglect the guests, don't misunderstand, a few old brothers!" ”
After the big guy laughed, Zhou Feng suddenly sighed with emotion: "Di Shuai, and all the old brothers, the current Bohai State is fighting with the exhaustion of national strength and the collapse of financial resources...... But the more this happens, the more business opportunities there are...... For example, in the Great Song Dynasty, you can't buy an acre of land for dozens of times, but in the Bohai Sea! Money can always be exchanged for hundreds of acres of wasteland, if you are willing to contribute, eat and clothe warmly, it is not difficult at all! ”
Some veterans were immediately unconvinced, "Zhou Feng, since Bohai is so good, why aren't there many people, and the imperial court still wants to force Haoqiang to come out, aren't you fooling us?" ”
"How can I have the guts, the land in the Bohai Sea is cheap, but don't forget, there is still the Khitan in the north, their iron cavalry will go south at any time, some time ago, if it wasn't for the Zhejia army coming over and driving away the Khitan's men and horses, maybe they would have been killed...... To tell you the truth, the little brother is now like a child holding 10,000 taels of gold in his hand, for fear of being robbed, and he can't even sleep well. ”
Di Qing narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a charming arc, as graceful as a handsome old guy!
He finally understood why Wang Ningan wanted to arrange people outside at this time.
After years of preparation and years of operation, it is finally time to blossom and bear fruit!
Erlang is not easy!
Since the Bohai Sea lacks security, let's give Bohai a safe!
"The big guys heard it too...... There are many people in the Great Song Dynasty, even if the imperial court wants to give the big guys, they can't take out many things, Bohai is full of opportunities, big guys, don't miss the opportunity! ”
Several veterans clasped their fists together, "Don't worry, we know!" ”
These veterans were all like they had been beaten with blood, and when they turned around and talked to the other brothers, the whole barracks was boiling.
The prisoner who has nothing, in the blink of an eye, is worth tens of thousands of yuan, and has married five wives, is there any heavenly reason! How many of them can't even afford to marry one!
If you don't work hard, you're really going to be laughed at to death!
Di Qing rested for a while in the Bohai Sea, and immediately went north, passing through Fuzhou, Ningzhou, and arriving at Chenzhou, on the way, it is indeed fertile and wild for thousands of miles, the mountains overlap, the products are abundant, when camping at night, you can catch sika deer, pheasants, small ditches on the side of the road, and there are more than ten catties of big fish, fat and abnormal.
By the time they arrived in Chenzhou, almost everyone had gained weight.
They are in a good mood, but some people are sinned!
The Bohai King and the Big Bear have lost a lot of weight, and the skin on their faces has slackened.
After he saw Di Qing, he hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
"Xiao Wang didn't greet him in person, please don't blame Di Shuai."
Di Qing was a kind person, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and picked up the big bear, "You are the lord of the Bohai Sea, why do you kneel down for me, quickly calm down." ”
The big bear was full of grievances and was about to cry.
"Di Shuai, if you don't come again, Bohai will be destroyed!"
Da Xiong couldn't stop his tears, and told Di Qing about the situation in Bohai, originally they had accumulated abundant and were very wealthy...... But since he was involved in the battle, he had to spend a lot of money to support the Japanese war, and he had to open up another battlefield in Goryeo, fighting on two fronts, and the previous unfavorable command was continuously hit by the Koreans, losing more than 10,000 people.
All of a sudden, the Bohai State was overstretched, and what was even worse was the Jurchens in the territory, as well as the Khitans, all of whom rose up to rebel, and there were constant internal and external troubles.
The situation is getting more and more difficult day by day, and it seems that it will not be able to sustain it.
Take this autumn as an example, the Khitan suddenly went south to fight the grass valley, and the Bohai Kingdom had to requisition people and horses to go north and resist with all their might, and the result was that a large area of the country's fields was unharvested and the grain was thrown into the ground.
If it weren't for Di Qing being a kind person, Wang Ningan wouldn't care about Da Xiong's complaints, if it was replaced by Wen Yanbo, maybe he would find a way to remove the bear skin and knock it again!
But Di Qing is not that kind of person, from another point of view, it is also Wang Ning's peace of mind that hurts the bear, for so many years, he is loyal, Wang Ningan can't bear to send a black hand to come over!
Di Qing thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Didn't the Zhejia army come over, why didn't they send troops to help?" ”
The big bear grinned and cried even more.
"They are willing to send troops, but they ......"
"But what?"
"He, they want money!"
"Money?"
"That's right, they said that if you want to fight, you can pay 1 million yuan first! God is pitiful, Bohai has long run out of money, and I really can't get it! Di Shuai, have mercy on us! ”
Di Qing took a deep breath, "You go and call Zhe Kexing, I have something to say to him." ”
It didn't take long for Zhi Kexing to come, and when he saw Di Qing, he didn't say a word, but arched his hand, "The last general will listen to Di Shuai!" ”
"Well, you immediately gather your cavalry, plus the men and horses I brought this time, take the initiative to attack, and beat the Khitans back, Bendu doesn't want to hear the three words of Grass Valley!"
"Understood!" Zhe Kexing immediately went down to make arrangements.
The big bear patted his chest, and finally came to someone who can do things and don't need money, God willing!
"King Bohai, forget the military salary, you can allocate 2 million acres of land to my brothers!" Di Qing said with a tense face: "This is not difficult, right?" ”
