But looking through the bag, Cai Jing really has no candidate who can exert influence on the Jinyang Army, he relied on financial management and ascended to the central position under the banner of the new party, and there are very few military ministers who want to marry themselves, to be honest, he Cai Jing also looked down on these military ministers that day, but he didn't expect that the times are changing, and now the status of military ministers is unconsciously somewhat important, and in the future, the side affairs will not be light, and the army of the Great Song Dynasty is getting fewer and fewer today, even more so, but all in all, Yang Ling must enter Beijing, the Jinyang Army must be replaced in charge, and He Guan is one of the candidates.

But what about the forbidden army, maybe after Yang Ling entered Beijing, it won't take much time to train the forbidden army, He Guan's idea over there can't be beaten, Cai Jing will hit the idea on the head of Yang Ling, who has not yet met, he has already planned to stuff Yang Ling into the Privy Council to walk, maintain influence on the forbidden army, and even master the three ya, as long as he can train tens of thousands of people who can fight the three ya, then his Cai Jing's status is like a rock.

Yang Ling is almost the most suitable person who can be thought of, the people who return to the south, and the factions of Bianliang Dumen have nothing to do with it, this Northern Expedition and the old people stand on the front line, and it can be regarded as his Cai Jing's kindness, and he has moved back to Bianliang, and then he will be enveloped, he may not be able to become a confidant, on weekdays in Bianliang for him to grasp the three ya, in the future there will be wars, Yang Ling can come out to pacify the strategy, adhering to his strategy, as long as he Cai Jing is in one day, this central position, will not be shaken as the previous time.

In his heart, Cai Jing still has a vague feeling, but he can't say it, and he doesn't even want to think about it.

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty may not be the same as before, and the parties in the DPRK and China are contending. Hindering each other, the finances are like a mess, even if he is reinstated, it is difficult to sort it out, and the decline of the army has not been seen since the founding of the country.

Maybe something unpredictable will change this time. The status of a military minister, I am afraid, can no longer be completely suppressed, and he can master a military horse that can fight, perhaps this is more important than all his imagination Cai Jing.

But this kind of thought is not daring to think about it, let alone saying it.

Because of this, Cai Jing was annoyed by Gao Yu's attitude, with his status, many things can be understood to the extent that they can be understood. He just wanted Gao Yu to make a promise, with his status by the side of the official family, to support Yang Ling to be sent by the Privy Council to assist the Sanya in organizing and training the new army, and he did not hesitate to give Gao Yu enough benefits, Wang Huang can tie Tong Guan, and there is nothing to be ashamed of him colluding with Gao Yu. But this sick man can't speak, and he just refuses to open his mouth when he closes his mouth.

At this moment. Cai Jing really felt a little frustrated. At that time, when he was in the Consul General's Hall in the position of Taishi, he called Bainuo, as long as he had a hint at Gao Yu, I was afraid that he would post it immediately. After such a toss by Wang Huang Tongguan, although he regained his face, he could be the party in the DPRK and China. The constraints are a hundred times more powerful than before, as if they are waiting for him Cai Jing to fall again

Thinking of this, Cai Jing couldn't help but have a cold smile on his face, but he took it in an instant and turned around. is still the graceful and elegant temperament of the gods, and smiled at Gao Yu: "Taiwei is better?" ”

Just now the officials have flown to send ginseng soup, it turns out that the political hall will naturally not prepare these things, or when Cai Jing is in power, because of old age, the official family is allowed to prepare nourishing things in the political hall, for the Taishi Zhen body, although Cai Jing is gone, this system is still preserved, and the officialdom has always been in ruin. Gao Yu drank a few sips of ginseng soup, his face looked better, he got up and bowed and saluted: "Thank you for your care." ”

Cai Jing stretched out his hand and pressed it weakly, motioned for Gao Yu to sit down, and said with a smile: "Taiwei's words have reassured the prime minister, my Great Song Dynasty has always been a general, Yang Ling entered Beijing with martial arts to get a high position, which is something that has not happened in recent decades, and the armies of the capital will inevitably be indispensable." There is a Taiwei in the middle to preside, presumably there is no hindrance, the prime minister is worried, and all of them are put down, and there is something difficult to solve in the West Mansion in the future, although it is okay to come to the prime minister, the official family is this important matter, for the courtiers, how can they not share the worries of the official family? ”

Gao Yu suddenly got up and saluted deeply: "Thank you Taishi, that's it, I will retire next, and the Taishi will have time on a different day, so I should come to the door to congratulate the Taishi............"

Cai Jing bowed his hand slightly, even if he returned the salute, he actually politely sent Gao Yu to the front of the Mingtang steps, watching Gao Yu's figure go away, and the officials on both sides of the Zhishe House looked at each other, Cai Jing didn't care, and turned back with a smile, but all kinds of thoughts turned into a ball in his heart.

The first thing Cai Jing did after taking the throne was to consolidate his own power, and now after sending Gao Yu away, the first thing was to rectify the financial plan, in the Great Song Dynasty, copper coins were strictly forbidden to be exported, and the ability of small states of the vassal states to cast money was very poor, such as Goryeo, as well as island countries, although the minerals were counted, but the copper coins minted were often damaged, so all the Great Song Dynasty currency was circulated, and in this era, it was already necessary to use banknotes and silver bills instead.

As early as I don't know how many years ago, the imperial court set up a national policy, the so-called mutual trade with foreign countries, must be brought forward by the imperial court, the outflow of money to control within a certain range, money is a trading tool, the source of life, their own is not enough, only to banknote tokens, do you want to benefit the copper money to others?

The Great Song Dynasty is very far-sighted in this regard, when it comes to doing business, no one can compare with the Song people, on the surface, the Great Song Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and every year to the Western Xia, to the Great Liao New Year's coin, but as soon as it changes hands, the Song people can eat back through mutual trade and profits, traders, exchange with each other, but they are also insufficient, who will take it with outsiders?

Copper coins, gold and silver are relatively scarce, and they are not enough to use, banknotes are a substitute for gold, silver and copper coins. But this banknote issuance disorderly, and no actual value, once the war turmoil, natural disasters and man-made disasters, it will quickly depreciate, or even worthless, the original wealth of the people, poured nothing, this is not a source of turmoil?

Since Cai Jing came to power, in order to fill the treasury, he had to issue banknotes and replace money with banknotes, which was a last resort, and if there was enough gold, silver and copper, the imperial court would not have adopted this method. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, there are often for copper money, destroy the Buddha and destroy the temple, take copper coinage, but relative to the huge world, this is just a drop in the bucket, in that era, the disadvantages of issuing paper money outweigh its advantages, and to reform it, there are too many aspects that need to be involved. And it is protracted, and its issuance ultimately depends on the reserves of precious metals such as gold and silver, and it will become a ****** if you want to eat a fat man, and the current stage is the stage of accumulating capital, when the storage of wealth and the development of industry and commerce meet the corresponding conditions. Naturally, there will be all kinds of changes.

Since it is because there is too little gold, silver and copper, it has to be implemented as a last resort, but you must know that once the banknote is issued, it is a great impact for this era. Now that the banknotes have depreciated sharply, it can be said that the prosperous and prosperous Song Dynasty is facing an unprecedented financial crisis.

At the same time, the head of the household, Li Ruoshui, said that the data on the death of a large number of people in the disaster area collected from various places in the recent period made people feel depressed, and the number of starvation deaths in the best case was expected to be around 50,000. Excluding those who froze to death in various places, it has now exceeded the standard - even if the statistics in various places are still vague at this time. However, this conclusion can still be drawn, especially on Jinghu South Road, where more than 18,000 people can be attributed to starvation.

However, if we refer to the data of previous famine years. Comparing the scale and severity of the famine, the entire relief effort can be said to have been unprecedentedly successful, but this success is also somewhat silent.

Colleague Zhang Bangchang knows that Li Ruoshui has not been in a very good mood recently. He seemed to be thinking about something other than official business, and sometimes, he would behave absent-mindedly, at first he thought that the other party's depression was due to disaster relief, but Li Ruoshui was very indifferent to the disaster relief results: "The most ideal result is, of course, to be achieved when everything is in place, but now that the money and food are not available, I understand that this matter is impossible to meet expectations, and ...... This is also the first time I have given relief to such a thing, and all the estimates, although there are data, most of them are taken for granted...... Anyway, I did my best. ”

Li Ruoshui would say this and throw some depressing numbers into the drawer, but the indifference and coldness on his face made people feel that he seemed to be moving other thoughts, Zhang Bangchang was this morning, when he walked through Li Ruoshui's study, he saw Li Ruoshui standing there with his back against the desk, I don't know what he was thinking, and when half an hour passed, Li Ruoshui was still standing like that, with his back to the door, and his two hands on the edge of the table, Zhang Bangchang walked in: "My lord, what do you think?" ”

Li Ruoshui came out of the courtyard, the night breeze caressed, and his gaze seemed calm.

Yang Keshi died, his wife Yang Lingyun and Yang Ling's personal leader Tang Huai were chased back to the capital by He Guan, in order to force Yang Ling to be annoyed, Li Ruoshui and Li Gang spent a lot of effort to bring these two over and protect them, Yang Ling can be used, wooed, but it must not be excessive, he and Li Gang have seen it, but the prince's party has not regarded Yang Ling as a thing, for this matter, the prince has already had some life with the two of him, without the support of the prince's party led by Geng Nanzhong, the situation of the two of them is a little difficult, These days, there is intrigue and interest exchange in the open and in the dark, and he sees such things.

Go down, the officials who are looking for trouble, the old feuds in the officialdom in the past, go up, whether Cai Jing or Geng Nanzhong, what can be cared about now is also the next issue of interests - of course, Li Ruoshui and Li Gang are not the prince's henchmen, and there is no need to show any righteous indignation with him, to be honest, Yang Keshi died tragically in prison, Li Ruoshui was also a little disheartened, speaking of which, he also knew that the court could not tolerate Yang Keshi, but he didn't expect that Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and the official family would let this person die in vain, The scholar may be able to save his life, is it because he is a general who leads the army? Afterwards, Li Gang may still want to hold up a piece of the sky, but he can only start from the point of interest, try to pull people, and try to protect himself.

Li Ruoshui sighed, swallowed his anger, pretending to be a grandson, it was not a big deal, although he hadn't done it for a long time, but this was also a skill he had been proficient in many years ago. If he is really a fledgling young man with big ambitions, Geng Nanzhong and Cai Jing will bring him some touch with the actual or ideal rhetoric, but now, what is hidden behind these words, he can see it too clearly, all their actions, wooing themselves or coercion and temptation, are all for the sake of party struggle, behind the indifference, what to do, what to do, of course, on the surface of the submissive, he will still do.

Even the ridicule of the mind, he didn't bother to move, "the current situation is like this", "the world is like this", "the intention is like this", "I have to do it", all this, when he put it in his heart, what he saw was only the scene of the entire Bianliang City.

There are many things in the world, which cannot be said to be bitter, nor can they be solved by understanding and understanding, and when they understand more, they become numb, and Li Ruoshui even has some impulses to resign.

He didn't even have the thought of sighing in his heart, and as he walked forward, there was a familiar figure on the side of the door.

In the past few days, when people come one by one, he will feel more or less tired in his heart. But the figure in front of him didn't make him feel troublesome at this time, in the slight light, the woman was wearing a light pink dress, her clothes floated up in the night breeze, smart but dignified, and her belly was slightly bulging, this was Yang Keshi's inner family Yang Lingyun, she was pregnant with Zhongliang.

Seeing that she was looking around a little cautiously over there, Li Ruoshui smiled and walked over, "Are you still used to it recently?" ”

Yang Lingyun just smiled and said, "Master Lao is around, the food and clothing are so good, it's just ......" After Yang Lingyun finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Huai who was standing behind him.

Li Ruoshui nodded, "I know, I have sent someone to send a letter to Yang Ling, so that he can rest assured, just stay here, although there are a lot of troubles, at least the old man can still save the two." ”

Cai Jing, Qin Hui and others concocted unclear charges for Yang Keshi, colluding with the Liao people to cause the defeat of the Northern Expedition, the premise is "unwarranted", which means that all this is possible.

Li Ruoshui's mind couldn't help but come up again, on the execution ground that day, Yang Keshi's tragic situation, countless deceived scholars and people scolded Yang Keshi.

"Can you sleep at night!?"

"Traitor, I hate to kill you......"

"Hundreds of thousands of people who died in vain......"

"Da Song cheer up! Destroy the Seven Tigers—"

"Except for ****, re-excited-"

Everyone shouted, someone picked up something on the ground and threw it over, Zhou Tai was in front of Yang Keshi, waved his hand to block it, but it was a filthy mud block, and the muddy water splashed everywhere.
