The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and in the flower hall of Xiao Yan's mansion, another table of wine banquets was set up. Because of Xiao Yan's habits, this banquet is not a regulation of separate tables. Instead, it is a large tabletop, with an antique soup hot in the middle, rich in water and land, and a few urns of good wine exuding a faint aroma.

Although the cold wind was very strong at night, the earth dragon in the flower hall and the smoker outside were burning vigorously at this time. In the flower hall, Xiao Yan, Fang Teng, Zuo Liaoji, and the three of them were all thinly dressed, and they each rose to the crown, looking like they had lost their shape.

In this flower hall, there are only three of them, and there is no one to serve. You have to do everything yourself, but because of this, it's much easier to talk, or talk or laugh, and it's easy to say.

Outside the flower hall, the mink hats are all dressed in armor and guards, like a statue, standing in the dark, guarding the great Song Yan King who is powerful in Bianliang and complains all over the world.

Fang Teng stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of charred mutton, chewed it carefully. After a glass of wine, he said with a smile: "In Xifu, I have finally figured out the foundation of the forbidden army stationed on the roads of Gyeonggi Zhulu these days. If it weren't for the fact that the king had taken in a few geographical ghosts from Jiangmen, and he was so frightened that they could only do their best, even the gods would not be able to figure out the doorway here. ”

Xiao Yan didn't have much interest in drinking, and when he came to this era, the amount of alcohol he had practiced as a young reporter was almost lost--In this position, Xiao Yan had already subconsciously disgusted that his reason was out of control no matter what the reason. He can be soft-hearted and can be impulsive at times. But these are all self-proactive so-called, but they cannot be swayed by any other factors.

A glass of wine in front of you. He only drank half of it. Hearing Fang Teng's words. He asked with interest: "All the gates are forbidden to the army." It's almost cleaned up, and I can't understand that I'm confused, so I still have to find out what those foundations are doing? ”

Fang Teng smiled: "Yan Wang Wei Ling Jinggi, shock Bianliang." All the soldiers! There is a Shenwu Changsheng army on Hedong Road outside, and a newly trained army inside. The Western Army sits on the roads of Shaanxi, and the Yongning Army is weak. When the princes of the Dao had no usable army, then King Yan used a shallow foundation to fight against the Bianliang scholars. Supporting the new monarch and serving the Taishang, the capital gate does not dare anyone. The Gyeonggi garrison forbidden army has been inherited for more than 100 years, and it is deeply entrenched, who knows if there are any soldiers and horses that have not been cleaned up? On the side of the couch, if someone is sleeping soundly and King Yan does not notice it, it is the sin of the student, the capital of the Western Mansion. If it takes a little effort, the students will do it. ”

Zuo Liaoji's expression was slightly unnatural, he was almost a technocrat identically. Although it is a long history, he is still managing Xiao Yan's accounts and helping Xiao Yan master the current huge industry. He consciously didn't inquire much about other things, and stretched out his hand more. A former Liao village Confucian. The strength is arithmetic, book arithmetic, plus the ability to endure complicated dramas. It is also quite adaptable, but I haven't read the Pentateuch in addition. In just one or two years, he was the long history of the shogunate of King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty, and this experience can be regarded as legendary. He is also trying to adapt to the role, desperately getting familiar with all the Yiqiē of this Great Song Dynasty, and striving to become Xiao Yan's qualified assistant. But now it seems that he is still far from Fang Teng, a figure who is half a subordinate and half ally of Xiao Yan.

Needless to say, Fang Teng's ability to be smart, think about one and get ten, and turn the whirling machine into a god-given ability, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up in my life.

Sure enough, Xiao Yan listened to Fang Teng's words and smiled: "Since this is the case, are there any hidden dangers left?" ”

Fang Teng spread his hands and said neatly: "No!" The Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is really rotten. The only thing that can support the façade is all concentrated near the left side of the gate, and the other places, although there are still military horns, and there are military generals set up. But between the name and the reality, half out of ten is good. These stragglers are brave, without restraint, without orders, without food, and they don't think of themselves as soldiers at all. If you are still afraid of them, King Yan will not be King Yan. As long as King Yan grasps the newly trained army horse in his hands, and the strength of the Hedong Shenwu Winning Army is not weakened, the position of King Yan can still be called firm. ”

Xiao Yan smiled calmly: "Well, seize the new army, the strength of the Hedong Army is not weakened." These are Xiao someone's two legs now, which one is a little shaken, it's all trouble............ Strengthen the strength, and in case you want to use soldiers, you can't do it with money. Zuo Changshi, how has the forbidden army industry been cleaned up and rectified these days? ”

Zuo Liaozhi is not a stupid person, Xiao Yan invited them tonight, naturally not just for dinner and affection. Of course, there is something important, and now that it is within his range, he will immediately fold his spirits. Tonight, I'm afraid it's time to see how things are doing within their respective scopes. Fortunately, Zuo Liaoji has placed great effort on these things, and he is confident that he can satisfy Xiao Yan.

“………… Returning to the king, the king is trusted, and he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility. The subordinates naturally do their best, but their strength is weak and their responsibilities are heavy, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions in their actions, and they are terrified to think about it............"

Xiao Yan waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said with a smile: "Lao Zuo, Lao Zuo, we are at the end of our acquaintance." What do you do with these things? If you don't feel at ease, such a big mess of belongings will weigh on your shoulders? As long as you do things, there is no basket that does not go unnoticed. I know all your hard work. ”

Zuo Liaozhi looked grateful, and sat down firmly at the moment and said: "Sent by subordinates, the subdivision is to count, resettle, count income and expenditure, and check account books. In these days, 939 properties of the forbidden army have been counted, money and goods have been cleared, and 355 properties have been identified in the account books. The rest is still in the second count, and within two months, it should be completed.

………… As for the resettlement, in addition to receiving 69,557 non-commissioned officers of the former forbidden army, 31,460 dismissed non-commissioned officers who had not yet gone were temporarily accommodated. These temporarily accommodated demobilized sergeants were temporarily paid 500 wen per month, and three buckets of grain and rice. In addition, I can also receive one porridge and one meal every day. A qiē poor can be stable. There are hundreds of generals of the original forbidden army accepted by the king, led by the father and son of the Shi family, who are quite obedient and competent. The position of these generals in the end is not a matter of opinion.

………… Recently, in the treasury of King Yan's mansion, there were two stones equivalent to 3,714,630 yuan. confiscated the property of the rebel general. Received the accumulated and earned cash from various properties in the amount of 5,532,855 yuan. The antique utensils of the field mansion are treasured or sold or retained. It is not yet possible to know for sure. Recently, a large camp has been built. The conscription into the camp and the placement of the dismissed sergeants cost another 2,514,300 yuan, and the rest came in and out of only twenty or thirty percent. In January, all localities have been cleaned up, and the net income of the industry is more than 312,300. After the industry was cleaned up one after another, the ball market was opened again, and the monthly income should increase by three or four times, and the subordinates were incompetent, and there was no exact number to report to King Yan. Nowadays, the treasury of the Yan King remains. The two horses of the stone are folded, and there are actually 700 and 45,845 pieces of text. ”

A series of numbers were skillfully reported from Zuo Liao's mouth, like Xiao Yan could barely keep up after a certain amount of mathematical training in later generations. Even if Fang Teng's mind was sensitive, at this time, he could only hear the circles in his two eyes.

Zuo Liaozhi is also a person, even if it is a little knowledgeable. In this era, there are no calculators and no perfect accounting entry details. Figured out these numbers, keep them in mind, and check them at any time, and see how much effort he's put into it when you see how much effort he's put into it. When I was eating just now, my mouth was still moving lightly, and I was obviously still checking in my heart.

This wealth is quite large, and the forbidden army has accumulated a hundred years of savings of the family and added movable and immovable property. More than half fell into Xiao Yan's hands. In addition, there are so many Bianliang, the monopoly enterprises in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, are still making profits for Xiao Yan. Compared with raising so many scholars and doctors at this moment, he also has to raise the Great Song Dynasty finances of the world's military horses in addition to Hedong and Gyeonggi Zhulu. Xiao Yan's temporarily available assets are even more advantageous.

Compared with cultivating a bureaucratic system, with the Hedong Shenwu Winning Army as the backbone, the more money you can raise, the stronger the army will be, and the strength will be like blowing up a balloon. If he was simply a warlord, Xiao Yan had already stepped out of this path and entered a virtuous circle. In time, I'm afraid that those big turbans, plus the Western Army and the Yongning Army, will not dare to think about it. It's more about appeasing and accepting Xiao Yan, a warlord.

But Xiao Yan didn't have this time for stable development, and what he wanted was not just for a warlord.

After listening to Zuo Liao's return, Xiao Yan nodded and praised him twice. He sat there and began to groan, his fingers tapping on the table, his face gloomy and uncertain, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zuo Liao was a little confused in his heart, and looked at Fang Teng, Fang Teng's expression seemed to be smiling, and he didn't send any hints to Zuo Liao. Zuo Chat became more and more uncertain under his heart, just muttering to himself.

Isn't it that King Yan thinks that I am too slow to clean up these industries? There are so many people, and the industries to be cleaned up are so complex, and there are still many people to be resettled. I haven't had a good night's sleep in days. If King Yan is still not satisfied, he will have to hang himself. Although he leaps into a high position that he can't even think of in a dream, this responsibility is doubly heavy. Occasionally, I think about it, I still farmed and studied in the Dongchuan Valley, and lived a quiet and stable life............

When Zuo Chat was thinking nonsense, Xiao Yan finally said lightly: "With this money as a foundation, it is barely enough to fight a big battle." I have food in my hand, and I don't panic in my heart. It's the same at all times, the ancients didn't deceive me............"

Zuo Liao was stunned, fight a big battle, who to fight?

Xiao Yan looked at Zuo Liao and smiled: "The Jurchen enters Kou Yun, and there is a tendency to peep into the east of the river." Han Yue has led his troops north. I don't know how many people in the world are waiting for them to be defeated, and if it is unfavorable, I will wait for myself to lead these new troops who have not yet been able to go north and fight against the Jurchen Tartars............ Hedong is a strong army, but it is my foundation. ”

Zuo Liao sent a check point to jump, and he escaped all the way from Liaodong. I know the toughness of the Jurchens best. Why did the Jurchens come to the east of the river again! If Hedong Shenwu Changsheng's army is defeated, then Xiao Yan's current situation in Bianliang is all a mirror!

At that moment, Zuo Liaozhi subconsciously said: "How not to transfer the Hedong Shenwu Changsheng Army back, so as to consolidate the roots of Bianliang and avoid the Jurchen army?" ”

Xiao Yan smiled: "Then open the gate of Hedong and welcome the Jurchen Tartars inside?" My inheritance was made, not escaped. ”

Zuo Liao sent a suffocation, so he went to see Fang Teng, wanting to find some support from him. found that Fang Teng was silent, and he was still raising his cup and drinking slowly. looks like he's known the news for a long time.

Sure enough, Xiao Yan also asked, "Bachelor Fang has already known?" ”

Fang Teng smiled: "Up to the princes of the political affairs hall, down to the fighting officials, at this moment, Bianliang is afraid that they all know." No matter how lazy the students are to inquire about this storm, they can't escape. How can you not know? ”

Xiao Yan scolded with a smile: "In this Bianliang, it's really fucking leaking everywhere, and you can't keep any secrets!" ”

Zuo Liaoji couldn't help but say: "In this case, wouldn't it be the most convenient to transfer the Hedong Shenwu Changsheng Army back to Zhendumen to deter the subordinate?" Why bother to let the two generals of Han Yue and the Jurchen Tartars have a hard time? ”

Since she is in this group, she is a female confidant. Although Xiao Yan looks belligerent and can't listen to his own military horses retreating to avoid the front of the army, but his loyalty is contrary to his ears, someone has to say it!

Fang Teng smiled and explained to his colleagues: "King Yan shocked the world, relying on the might of soldiers. If the Shenwu Changsheng army encounters the enemy, it will be avoided, and this frame will fall. I don't know how many people have to have more thoughts. This opening cannot be opened............ Moreover, the east of the river is narrow, condescending, and there are strong soldiers outside, supporting each other. Even if someone is an enemy of King Yan in Bianliang, he has to be afraid that King Yan has a way out, so he doesn't dare to do it lightly. Not to mention the Hedong Shaped Beauty, it also contains the Western Army. Two eyes live, one eye dies. Retreat to Bianliang to defend the square inch, there are strong enemies outside, and people are unpredictable inside. What is the undefeated? ”

When it comes to this strategic layout, Zuo Liaoji is speechless. But I still don't accept it in my heart, this is such a terrible change, why do you still look like a cloud and a breeze? You've got to find a way to deal with it! Thinking about it, the best way is naturally for Xiao Yan to lead the army, go to the east of the river, and sit in the town to preside over a qiē. Xiao Yan has an undefeated prestige, and after his arrival, the Hedong Shenwu Changsheng Army has the heart to die, and the Jurchen Tartars naturally have to fight. But then again, now that Bianliang is like this, how can Xiao Yan be separated? Even if it is his own family, he understands that he doesn't know how many people are looking forward to Xiao Yan leaving Bianliang so that the sky in the center of Bianliang can be turned upside down! If there is no name and righteousness to grasp the center, and there is no financial and material support from Bianliang, even if Xiao Yan keeps Hedong and the Shenwu Changsheng army, how long can he support it?

It's a dilemma!

Zuo Liaoji wanted to say something, but he felt that he couldn't say anything, and finally he could only sigh in his heart. Now the scenery and wealth of the Yanwang group, is it just a spring dream? (To be continued......)
