Wu Yi is still wearing a cara, but his demeanor is graceful, even if he is covered by Rob, he can see some vague faces, but he can't stare at her when he walks, and he sits down at this time, which is still different from when he walks. Can a pretty widow not be suspicious of melons and plums?

Zheng Lang stood up like a ghost, his mind was still very calm, standing at the threshold of the outer hall and the inner hall, and he didn't really enter the inner hall.

The Wuyi clan took off the Luo, and Ying Ying saluted: "Mingyue has seen Zheng Xianggong." ”

"No need to be polite, what are you going to say?" In the bright moon, a fine sweat trickled down Zheng Lang's forehead.

Wu Yishi glanced outside with his eyes, and seeing that the people outside couldn't see here, he walked in front of Zheng Lang, raised his head and whispered, "The concubine is not very old. ”

Zheng Lang nodded.

"But who dares to marry me?"

It's a bit of a hassle. Even if someone dares to marry, the court will block it for the sake of its role. Once the Wuyi clan gets married, can it still have appeal? At first, the father and daughter didn't move, they just ran for their lives, and they didn't think about it. After coming to the Song Dynasty for a long time, I gradually realized the seriousness of this problem. I don't blame the Song Dynasty for using them, they are fish and meat, the Song Dynasty is a sword, and the Song Dynasty did a good job, moving out the best northwest valley for its people to live and work in peace and contentment, and giving him the post of Shangshu, and the two elder brothers of the Wuyi clan have served as officials of the Song Dynasty. Just let them cooperate, can you not agree?

Zheng Lang couldn't answer.

"Either ......" Wu Yi pointed to his heart socket and then to Zheng Lang's chest.

Zheng Lang shook his head.

A few tears suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Zheng Lang couldn't shake his head.

Wu Yi took out a Luopa from his arms and whispered, "See Pa and see people." ”

What do you mean? Zheng Lang didn't understand, he wanted to refuse, but there was endless grief in his eyes, and Zheng Lang's refusal came to his lips and couldn't say it.

He put on his shirt again, walked out, and sat down.

The two Khitan envoys looked at Zheng Lang and Wu Yi with suspicious eyes, and did not think about anything else. Zheng Lang's behavior in the Khitan was too decent, but he suspected that he didn't move the clan to ask Zheng Lang if he could go to the Khitan, or begged Zheng Lang to teach him face-to-face. But the time was short. Zheng Lang didn't seem to say anything. Ye Luqing had no choice but to look at the Niang Niang and asked, "The lady who didn't move, have you thought about it?" ”

Like Zheng Lang, he called the lady, but he couldn't be called the queen, and he couldn't use Ning Lingge as an excuse to bring the Wuyi clan to the Khitan.

Wu Yi asked rhetorically, "Envoy of the Northern Kingdom." Was the concubine the queen of Western Xia last year? ”

Jerching could not answer.

"Is Brother Ning Ling the crown prince of Western Xia?"

“……”

"You Khitan also regard themselves as China, civilized etiquette, not much different from the Central Plains, is it not the former Xiongnu, and they are not opposed to the bad habit of marrying a mother with a son? The concubine can't agree. ”

Ye Luqing almost wanted to say, you are the mother of the fart, Zheng Lang has stretched out his hand and said, "The queen does not want to go to the Khitan." Don't force it. The reconciliation between Song and Liao requires some sincerity in order to continue to reconcile for a long time. I changed the tribute to the payment. The annual tribute of 300,000 yuan has been changed to 500,000 yuan, and a huge concession has been made, and if your country repeatedly gains an inch, my majesty will also give an explanation to his subjects, which will inevitably hurt the relations between the two countries. As for this family matter, first, it is inconvenient for the mother and son to get married, which is contrary to human ethics, and second, the queen has not been moved to be Yuan Hao's wife, and her name is not right. The third is that the Western Xia subordinates belong to our dynasty, and they must also give them an explanation, our dynasty will marry the mother and son, what will the Western Xia people think about our dynasty? Two messengers, please do. ”

The identity of the Wuyi clan changed from a lady to a queen from Zheng Lang's mouth, and he heard the word queen. The Wu Yi clan secretly rolled his eyes at Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang didn't dare to talk to her, and forcibly dragged Ye Luqing and Wang Yuanji out of the Raid Mansion.

Sent away the Khitan envoys, and the dividends of the safe prison arrived in Beijing. Ye Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, Zheng Lang squandered it last year, the resettlement of the veterans who laid off the army, disaster relief, the construction of the farmland water conservancy law, the luxurious canonization ceremony of Zhang Guifei, the pension of officials at the end of the year, all the finances of the three divisions let Zheng Lang squander, and the emperor allocated a large amount of money from the inner treasury, otherwise the three divisions would face serious difficulties. With this dividend, the three divisions took a breath of relief. …,

In fact, what is not right is that first of all, it is to reduce the number of soldiers, and the settlement of veterans has cost a lot of money, but the ban on soldiers has been reduced to 610,000, and the number of soldiers has been reduced to 320,000, which is not as optimistic as Zheng Lang expected, but the number of soldiers has dropped a lot, and if there is no increase in troops in the future, military spending alone will save the country a lot of money.

This is on the table.

After the flood in Hebei in history, in order to settle the victims, Fubi accepted tens of thousands of soldiers as soldiers, and the imperial court also added tens of thousands of forbidden troops to calm the victims. Originally, Pang Ji and Wen Yanbo's measures to reduce troops have been effective, but let this flood make the redundant troops return to the past.

Zheng Lang presided over that last year, not only did not increase the number of troops, but instead reduced a large number of redundant troops, and the savings of this invisible one in and one out cannot be calculated.

The effectiveness of the farmland water conservancy law is also relatively invisible, and it will take a long time to see it, but some can be seen immediately, such as the Zhanghe River, which last year dredged a new river and introduced Zhangshui into the new river.

But the monarchs and ministers are all lack of confidence, these measures are good, but will God make the Song Dynasty better? If there is another big commercial break, this year's finances will still be very difficult.

Then began to sell the last fifty percent of the Ping An Jian Deed shares, the banking department was established for several months, there has been no movement, there is movement, Zhang Fangping and Zheng Lang often take time to give lessons to the bank officials in various states in the past few months, but the people don't know.

The increase in income from Ping An Jian began slowly, but it has been rising steadily. However, the result of the sale is still not ideal, this is the last fifty percent of the deed shares, and the money sold is still less than 10 million yuan. Some officials began to be suspicious of the bank's deed shares, it was not a lack of money, it needed 30 million yuan, plus the more than 9 million yuan, and the imperial court subsidized some to make up the original principal.

But Zheng Lang didn't move, the news had already spread, and many people asked for questions, but the deed shares have not been auctioned. Then Zhongshu and Sansi joined forces to order and began to mint coins, not only copper coins, but also gold and silver coins, weighing one or two and ten coins.

With the edict, anyone could refuse to accept gold and silver coins, but no tax could be levied on gold and silver coins.

Two orders puzzled everyone.

The former restricts the circulation of gold and silver coins, while the latter encourages the circulation of gold and silver coins.

The answer is known only to a few. Zheng Lang explained that gold and silver coins are valuable, one silver coin is equivalent to two hundred coins, and one gold coin is equivalent to one thousand coins. Although the Great Food has been circulating gold and silver coins for a long time. China's gold and silver production is insufficient, and there are not many people who can distinguish the real from the fake, and their role is still a quasi-currency, which cannot be circulated to the people, so as not to be counterfeited on a large scale. This purpose is not for civilian use, but for commercial use, and it is compatible with Jiaozi. Sufficient amount of currency. That's why there was this strange edict to prevent it from forcibly flowing into the people, so as not to harm the people. But it doesn't hurt for merchants, gold and silver have been seen a lot, and even if someone imitates it, in the eyes of these people, it will be screened one by one, and it will not cause harm. Originally, gold and silver were out of the market. A certain percentage of taxes were levied on all goods, and if the imperial court did not levy them, many merchants would trade with gold and silver coins. In fact, it is equivalent to an increase in the amount of money.

It has been in circulation for a long time. The common people know more, can distinguish the real from the fake, the casting process is developed, it is not easy to imitate, and the relatively slightly cheaper silver coins can be gradually issued to the people to make up for the lack of copper coins.

The Wa Kingdom mined gold and silver on a large scale, and there were safety prisons, and even miners found several gold and silver mines in distant Oceania, which were not directed by Zheng Lang, although the mining was relatively difficult. The inflow of gold and silver into the Song Dynasty began to increase rapidly, so in the first year of Huang You, 4 million taels of silver coins and 300,000 taels of gold coins were issued. A total of 14 million coins were minted. At the same time, the imperial court also printed 80 million jiaozi. Jiaozi can't be counted, recognition is currency, and if you don't recognize it, it's still a piece of cloth, a beautifully made silk cloth. But the former lays the foundation for the amount of money at the time of the bank's implementation. …,

These measures were implemented one by one, but the imperial court did not have the time for the establishment of the Imperial Bank.

Many people in the Song Dynasty waited and looked forward to the bank, and the West, Khitan and Western Xia were in a fierce war. Western Xia was angry at the Khitan invasion of the palace, and hated the Khitan for taking in Ning Lingge and no longer contributing. The Khitan sent envoys to reprimand, and asked Ning Lingge to lure some of the captured nobles, and asked these nobles to write letters to lure the Western Xia tribes. Really let the Khitan succeed, several tribes close to the Khitan border fled to Jinsu City, the Western Xia sent troops to chase, Yelu Gaojianu led the troops to arrive, defeated the Western Xia pursuers, and received more than 7,000 people from the four divisions to the Khitan.

Seeing the repeated failures of the Khitans, the Wuzang brothers and sisters despised the Khitans, and sent the general Wapu and others to lead troops to attack Jinsu City, Gao Jianu led the troops to meet the head-on attack, and was defeated, several generals of Western Xia were killed in battle, and Wapu was seriously injured and fled.

In March, the Wuzang clan sent a new observation envoy to move the capital to supervise the Henan Triangle River, spy on the Khitan Weisse Fort, the Khitan general Xiao Dieli led a light army to attack it, beheaded eight scouts, saw that the Western Xia generals were not equipped, took advantage of the victory to pursue, the light army entered the Western Xia military camp, and the capital was moved to meet the battle in a hurry, and the defeat was defeated, and the capital was also captured, and the loss of baggage and heavy equipment was innumerable.

In April, Liao Xingzong ordered Xiao Punu, Yelu Yixin, and Xiao Sammo to lead troops to attack Xia, and Begu had to supervise the battle, and Xiao Ge supported the border city of the army, and several generals were not considered famous generals, but this attack achieved better results because Liao Xingzong did not personally take command. The Khitan army successfully entered the territory of Western Xia, besieged Xingqing Mansion, and did not take it, but the Xing army plundered, and let Ning Lingge come to the front line to persuade the troops to surrender, and even let Ning Lingge shout to the Xia soldiers at the head of Xingqing Mansion to let them lay down their arms and surrender. At this time, the cronies who did not hide Pang and the traitors who "surrendered" to Western Xia, Zhu Chongzhao, Zhang Hu, and Cao Ling took turns shooting Ning Lingge with a strong bow, and Zhu Chongzhao hit Ning Lingge's crown with an arrow, almost killing Ning Lingge. The Khitans were frightened and took Ning Lingge back to the barracks.

After attacking the city for several days, both sides suffered heavy losses, and Xiao Punu saw that there was no hope of capturing the city, so he returned to the Khitan with a large amount of captured materials and the surrendered Western Xia tribes. On the way, he encountered another surprise, Wapu was defeated, did not hide Pang to punish him, did not hide the pleading, did not hide the intercession, so that he trained his troops in Helan Mountain, in order to observe the after-effects, and the Khitan army went deep, Wapu was afraid of punishment and led the troops to surrender.

In three successive battles, especially the last battle, the losses of Western Xia were far heavier than in history.

Hearing the information from Western Xia, Zhao Zhen felt sorry for him and said: "Zheng Qing, what you said is extremely true, the Khitan people should not be underestimated. ”

Zheng Lang smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the scale of this battle is far less than the previous two battles, and you can't talk about victory or defeat." Although the Khitan cannot be underestimated, it cannot be overestimated. ”

Liaoxia fought inextricably, and the good years of the Song Dynasty came again.

The summer harvest went relatively smoothly, and then Zheng Lang did one more thing, buying grain on a large scale and storing it. However, no one objected, there have been too many disasters over the years, and one after another has come, so it is necessary to prepare more grain reserves in case of accidents. In March, there was another three yuan, Feng Jing, a native of Jiangxia.

In April, Ye Qingchen died, and Zheng Lang personally wrote the inscription for him. Ye Qingchen was a very good minister, but unfortunately he died too early, only forty-nine years old, which was the best Chenguang in his life, which made Zheng Lang gloomy.

The imperial court took Zhang Yaozuo as the third envoy.

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't know the story behind the scenes, so that Zheng Lang did not object, Zhao Zhen and Zheng Lang talked for a long time. Zheng Lang finally said: "Don't do bad things for the country." ”

persuaded Zheng Lang, Pang Ji and Wen Yanbo naturally had no opinion, they were all people on Zhang Guifei's boat, Chen Zhizhong and Song Zhen were silent, so the edict was passed. In June, the Khitan broke the grain city, which was in the northwest of Helan Mountain, which was the place where the grain was stored in the Western Xia. Annoyed and angry, the Muzang clan sent troops to attack the Khitan in September, but was defeated by the Khitan brave enemies Lugu and Haili. …,

The two countries are fighting fiercely, and the people are struggling to make a living.

The Song Dynasty was peaceful on this side, the wind and rain were smooth, and the grains were abundant. But Yanchen still did not let go of Chen Zhi, last year several times Chen did not fall, but Chen Zhizhong himself let Yanchen seize the handle, and extended the divination warlock in the house, which is also a taboo for the ruler. He also impeached Chen Zhizhong and Yue Ci for using Li Zhongshi to raise points for the government boundary, and his subordinates Lu Changling and others were happy to enter the uneducated bandits, and they did not meet the expectations of the public. What did Lu Changling do, what did Chen Zhizhong do?

Chen Zhizhong was forced to be helpless by Yanchen, and he resigned with a foot illness and went out of Chenzhou. Chen Zhizhong left the capital, and Western Xia also sent an envoy, or Yang Shousu, to ask for money. Fan Xiang Yanzheng did a good job, putting aside the anger of the elites, and played a lot of roles. And Shaanxi has a bumper year again, which gives him more confidence. However, under his rule, the scale of private salt was reduced, and Western Xia failed several times, and the state was in short supply. So Yang Shousu recommended himself and came to the Song Dynasty to ask for money.

You Song Dynasty can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, you have to come up with some bait, and we in Western Xia will have the capital to fight. If you don't say this in the national book, it probably means the same. Zheng Lang said to Zhao Zhen again: "Let's let the ministers come to receive them." ”

There will be a lot of things after the autumn, Nong Zhigao, the bank, and this Western Xia, we have to continue to let them fight, otherwise it is possible that the two countries will renegotiate peace.

Letting Yang Shousu sit down, Zheng Lang asked, "Yang Shousu, do you think your Western Xia can really defeat the Khitan?" ”

A series of failures, Yang Shousu did not dare to answer.

"I can make a plan for your Western Xia, so that your Western Xia can calmly defeat the Khitan, and even let them be forced to return Brother Ning Ling to your Western Xia."

"Really?" Yang Shousu was happy first, and then doubted, this son has the ability, but may he help Western Xia defeat the Khitan?

"It's true, even once you get merit, I will order the border states to open up their various ways, and let you circulate in Western Xia for a month."

"What's the policy?" Yang Shousu pretended to be calm, but his heart was turning over the river and the sea, no matter how tacit cooperation the Song Dynasty was, the private salt was finally forbidden by the edict, once it was open to the public, not a month, as long as half a month, well prepared, it was enough to transport more than one million stones of green salt to the Song Dynasty. At first, he was excited, but then he was sober, the fruit was too big, and if he didn't eat well, Xixia would knock out a few front teeth. (To be continued.)
