In the 320th year of the Great Song Dynasty, the war years were far from ending, and the higher the upper echelons, the more they could see this situation.

Most of Zhao Guanjia's plan to expand the army to 30 divisions has been completed in an orderly manner, and 26 divisions have been formally established. The numbers of the remaining four divisions have not been established, it is said that because these four divisions are cavalry divisions, and the Great Song Dynasty now does not have the ability to equip 40,000 cavalry with enough war horses. 40,000 cavalry is not simply 40,000 war horses, but 100,000 war horses, which are the mare of 100,000 horse farms.

Because there is no question of secrecy, basic knowledge of war can easily be flaunted. The upper echelons are smart people who understand this basic idea. It was easy for everyone to understand that the armistice agreement agreed to by the Zhao family was just an armistice agreement.

"How much does it cost to fight this battle?" Some officials sighed.

After hearing this, Qi Ye said coldly: "Lin'an surrendered once, how much money did we lose." ”

Many people think that Qi Ye is a very calm person, and at this moment, everyone around who heard this understood that calmness was just an appearance, and Qi Ye's concept of war was not only rational, but also very cold.

When the official heard this, he immediately felt that there was something wrong with what he said, and he quickly defended: "What I said was not my intention, I just thought it would be better if there were fewer deaths......

"President Lin'an surrendered, isn't the Queen Mother of the official family safe and sound." There was no good feeling in Qi Ye's voice.

Faced with such words one after another, the official's face became extremely ugly. He was born as a Jinshi, and he knew that no amount of justification would lead to a better outcome at this time. This Jin Shigong quickly found a solution, and he said with a straight face: "I have never been a surrender faction!" With that, he got up and left his seat.

Looking at the second guy who left the table, Qi Ye didn't say anything. The first one who was forced to leave the table was the boy who thought he was smart, and now he is leaving the table is another Jinshi who thinks he is smart. There has never been a shortage of people in this world who think they are smarter than the Zhao official family, and Qi Ye is speechless about such an existence.

Someone leaves, and someone comes immediately. Immediately, a young cadre sat here, he worked in the household department, and his face was familiar, and he stood next to the circle for a while.

As soon as he sat down, the young cadre asked, "Director Qi." I would like to ask, why do you think immigration is so slow now? ”

"Immigration?"

"I've heard that there are a lot of immigrants from Fujian. But Henan has been won for so long, and immigrants from all over the country have never been able to do a good job. ”

"Is your family willing to immigrate to Henan?"

"Huh?" The young cadre replied in surprise.

"Are your family willing to immigrate to Henan?" Qi Ye replied.

"This ......" the young officer froze. Qi Ye's words, although unkind, pointed out very serious issues. The young officer felt as if he had caught something, and as if he had simply been ridiculed.

"There were two large-scale migrations that year, and the first batch was a fifth-class household whose whole family owned no more than 10 acres of land. The second group was when the Mongols went south, and Jiangnan was worried that the people of Jiangnan would be burned and killed by the Mongol army. Everybody either goes to live a better life or goes to live a safer life. What's more, this is all with the help of the imperial court, and everyone knows that if you don't leave, you will either continue to suffer poverty and sin, or you will be precarious. Without these conditions, there can be no mass immigration. ”

These words were sonorous and powerful, and the others did not show admiration in their eyes, at least they listened to them. The young official's mouth was half-open, frightened by the insights of the old-timers. After tossing the young man, Qi Ye picked up a drink to moisten his throat a little angrily. Originally, he thought that people would be calm when they reached their fifties, but he didn't expect that this would not be the case at all. Qi Ye has also read books over the years, increasing the amount of poetry and writing, and after reading Cao Cao's "Turtle Although Shou", his opinion of the traitor in this commentary has changed greatly.

Although the turtle is long-lived, there is still a time. The beetle snake rides the fog and eventually turns into ash. Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles. The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong.

The retirement system is affected not only by officials who are born as jinshi, but also by all officials. Qi Ye is in his fifties and is about to reach retirement age. The most proud days in his life were the days after the Zhao official family became a pivotal figure in Fujian, completely annihilated the Pu family, and established the Navigation Guild. Qi Ye changed from a member of the family of a money village to an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and then became one of the heads of the newly built general money bank.

In Qi Ye's opinion, his fifties are just his starting point, but the cruel Zhishi system makes his fifties the end of Qi Ye. Look at his cousin Qi Rong again, from the beginning, Qi Rong was the young owner of the private bank, and now Qi Rong is the owner of the private bank. When to step down, it depends on Qi Rong's personal wishes. Qi Ye rode the wind, no matter how high he flew, he would fall back to the ground when the wind stopped. On the other hand, Qi Rong, he has always stood tall on a small hill.

was unhappy in his heart, and Qi Ye spoke more bluntly. And for whom is it to seek that kind of harmony?

There is such an uncle here who makes an irrefutable answer, and the small circle is cold for a while. In addition, after talking about two or three topics before, people are also a little tired. So everyone was silent and ate and drank something, or lit a Luzon cigar and enjoyed.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "The official family is coming." ”

Hearing this shout, all the people on the sofa were shocked and stood up one after another. At this moment, footsteps were heard, and a group of Praetorian Guards in black winter uniforms began to line up outside the main hall that served as a dance hall.

The average height of men in the Great Song Dynasty was more than 170, and the height of these Praetorian Guards was in line with the regulations of the Northern Song Dynasty, and they were generally around 185. Dressed in classic uniforms, the tall soldiers stood straight on either side of the red carpet that led from the door to the main hall.

Long black army coat with large lapels, wide belt, two rows of large metal buttons. Big-brimmed hat on the head and high boots on the feet. With the collar badge and epaulettes on the red background, they held the heavy sword at their waists, and they looked majestic.

The men looked at these dry cities of the country, and they all consciously did not dare to approach too closely. The women had a look of great appreciation in their eyes.

The band also lined up outside at this time, and before everyone could wait too long, they heard the sound of music. As a short piece of music ended, I saw Zhao Guanjia holding the queen's hand and walking along the carpet into the main hall.

Zhao Guanjia is also over 180 tall, and he doesn't look shorter than the Praetorian Guard. Since the surrender of General Lin'an, the officials and parents have been wearing military uniforms all year round, and they are also heroic. The height of the queen next to the official family is also close to 170, she is dressed in a dress, and her dignified and beautiful appearance is even more difficult to take off her eyes under the background.

The master of the ball appeared, and all eyes fell on the two. Zhao Guanjia waved to everyone very calmly, and the queen held Zhao Guanjia's arm with a smile and followed the official family forward, fully reflecting the queen's femininity. The combination of power and beauty made everyone in the entire venue feel that the imaginary official and queen should look like, and they really appeared in front of everyone at this moment.

It's a feeling that you have to look up. The Chinese refer to the emperor as the Son of Heaven, just like the eight characters engraved on the jade seal made of the lost Heshi Bi: 'Commanded by Heaven, Eternal Longevity'. Since the position of the Son of Heaven is ordained by Heaven and has such a great position, the person who occupies this position must be able to assume such a great position, and must make this position more sacred by his own deeds.

Regrettably, however, at least half of the people who sit in this position have disgraced the sanctity of the throne by their actions. There have also been jokes such as 'why not eat minced meat'.

The current Zhao Jiaren Zhao Guanjia belongs to one of the very few people in the emperor who can add sacredness to the throne by his own actions, and there are many people who are invited to the ball who are dissatisfied with the Zhao Guanjia in their hearts, but none of the invited people really think that they can surpass the Zhao Guanjia in all aspects. Everyone here has to admit that, on the whole, the Zhao official family is stronger than them.

Zhao Guanjia's glorious appearance made these guys feel quite comfortable in their hearts. Under the exterior of the gold and jade decoration city is more than the inside of the gold and jade, and normal people will feel very comfortable. In addition, the appearance of the Zhao Guanjia is actually very good. At this time, the ball is just past the warm-up period, and everyone needs a new spice at this time.

After walking the red carpet, Zhao Guanjia walked straight up to the stage and stood up. No matter what kind of identity he has, the most important identity of the Zhao official family at this time is the master of this ball, and a simple speech is still necessary. Zhao Guanjia said loudly to the people gathered in the audience in a cheerful voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has experienced a lot and paid a lot of hard work in the past year. I would like to express my gratitude. At this time, what we need is rest, please eat well, drink well, and play well. So let's keep dancing. ”

Hearing the official's straightforward words, everyone first laughed, and then some people began to applaud.

Zhao Jiaren walked off the stage with brisk steps, and the band had returned to their positions. Her husband pulled up her arm, and Qin Yuzhen said with some uneasiness: "If I don't dance well, will I lose the face of the official family." ”

"Dancing is meant to be fun, to relax, and you won't be ashamed to come here."

"What if someone laughs at you?"

"Then make others laugh. When you see someone else dancing badly, you can resist not smiling on your face, but you are stumped and smuggling in your heart. ”

After saying this, Zhao Jiaren felt that his wife secretly pinched him with her fingers. Zhao Jiaren also felt very helpless, men and women will be so different when facing social situations. Boys sometimes just give up on themselves, or take meat for fun. So there is also the courage to break the can. As for the girls, they often ask for full blame.

Isn't it just dancing with everyone, why bother? Zhao Jiaren dared to guarantee that at least half of them were not as good as Qin Yuzhen's jump. At this time, the music sounded, and Zhao Guanjia took his wife's hand and walked towards the dance field. As the master, you have to take the lead at this time.
