Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 282 Please be serious, Your Majesty

The will came down, and even Li Dan himself didn't expect it. It's okay to go directly to the middle school as a clerk, what's going on with the part-time job of this department? In the words of the previous life, it translates: Secretary of the State Council and Deputy Director of the National Security Bureau?

Li Dan couldn't say anything about such a nondescript appointment, he kowtowed to thank the lord Longen seriously, and when he got up, he felt that everyone's eyes were on him.

At this time, King Ding came over to join in the fun, and congratulated him with a smile: "San Lang, you really don't make a sound, this will has made me stunned, it is estimated that you are the first one so appointed since the founding of this dynasty!"

"Can you pull it down, congratulations? I think you're gloating, and it's a shame that I asked them to replace all the carriages for you with nanmu planks, and you knew you should use camphor wood!"

Li Dan said thank you Chitose, and then leaned closer and whispered viciously, "Whose idea was this? Why do you want to work part-time as a part-time division, choose a separate division, even if it's a military division!"

King Ding covered his mouth and blushed, and walked away as if he wasn't *** anyway. Some of the fellow scholars came to congratulate, and some were surprised to talk to each other from afar.

At this time, even a fool can see that this King Ding and Li Dan must have known each other before, and they have a good relationship! The person who knew about it quietly told everyone about Li Dan's background, and everyone understood the mystery.

There's no way, people don't have a father to fight, but it's the relationship with the emperor, this ...... I can't help it!

Dou Qing is a gentleman, almost the same size as Li Dan, but he is gentle and humble, and he is a bookworm like Qian Min, and there is a "half-street building" in his home, with more than 6,400 books and more than 3,000 scrolls.

At this time, he had a heated chat with Qian Min, and even made an appointment to go to the Tongwen Pavilion together. Qian Min pulled him to Li Dan and told him, "Li Tanhua is my nephew, he is now in Zhongshu Province, it must be easy to enter the Tongwen Pavilion!"

"So you're your uncle and nephew in the same high school? Oh, that's a good story!" Dou Qing was surprised.

"Champion Gong is also interested in Tongwenkan? It's easy to do, it's on the little brother!" Li Dan patted his chest and said.

"Yes, Li Zedong's name will spread all over the world today, what is a Tongwen Pavilion?" Zhou Junlan came over and said:

"I heard that the Tanhua Hall tried to be the first, and I admired it very much! But I don't know how the poetry is endowed with the king's skills? At the Qionglin banquet in Xinglin Garden tomorrow, I will make up my mind to receive the teaching!"

Listening to him speak a little sourly, obviously a little unconvinced, Li Dan waved his hand again and again: "This little skill, Dan is not outstanding in this, and he doesn't dare to work on everyone's expectations."

"Why bother Brother Yisheng (Zhou Junlan)?" Dou Qing opened his mouth and said, "Zedong is good at it, you and I can't, what you and I are good at is not what he is good at. The intention of the country is to complement each other. If you want to be all-rounder, how many of them can be out of a thousand?"

It turned out that Dou Qing saw that Zhou Junlan was not satisfied with Li Dan and had the meaning of contempt, so he came forward to block the knife for Li Dan. Zhou Junlan didn't want to save the champion's face, so she had to laugh twice and walked away.

"This man seems to have a bad heart, so it's better not to fight with him." Qian Min whispered to Li Dan.

"The so-called water is clear, there is no fish, as long as we uphold the world in our hearts and fear the emperor's authority, even if there is a villain, it will be difficult for me!"

Dou Qing said proudly that Li Dan saw that he was bookish, but he was a straightforward person, and he felt that this person was quite cute and a gentleman who could be friends, so he nodded yes.

Next, it is time for a three-person hairpin to ride a horse through the street, one of the so-called proud things in life.

Unexpectedly, Li Dan changed his robe and wore a good hairpin, but he saw Liu Xi panting and coming: "There is a purpose, Xuanxin Branch explores flowers, and Li Dan, the director of the Ministry of Staff, will see you in the Qiande Palace."

Everyone was surprised, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites also encountered this situation. I had no choice but to watch Li Dan turn over and enter the palace with Liu Xi in the sound of drums that had already been played.

"Hey, this honor has really stolen the limelight from the champion and the leader!" An official whispered to a colleague.

However, they also breathed a sigh of relief, because this had never been the case, so they prepared two sets of guide cards edited by the Hanlin Academy (commonly known as the tiger head card, which was written with official positions to demonstrate the style).

But the emperor played the Ministry of Rites like this, and he didn't have time to redo it, so he had to temporarily put it on the original brand

Sticker on yellow paper, on the left and right sides of the written "Qin Ci, Chinese Scribe Wailang" and "Qin Ci, the head of the department".

Now Li Dan does not participate in the official parade, which makes everyone in the Ministry of Rites breathe a sigh of relief.

Hurriedly followed Liu Xi to the Qiande Palace, and after signing up, Li Dan looked up, and there were military attaché robes in most of the room.

The rules of this dynasty are close to those of the former Song Dynasty (Northern Song Dynasty), the first to second grades are purple, the third and fourth grades are scarlet, the fifth and sixth grades are green, and the seventh grade and below are brown.

The style of the official is dressed in a deep coat-style official uniform, tied with a plate belt, and the board is made of gold, silver, jade, and wood, which matches the color of their respective clothes. The head is made of black yarn, and the hairpin material is the same as the plate.

The military attache wore an arrow-sleeved shirt with a tug, tied with a leather belt, and the buckle and hook were made of gold, silver, jade, and copper, which also matched the color of the suit.

He wears a leather beam crown on his head, and the hairpin material is the same as the belt hook. Therefore, whether it is a civilian official or a military attaché, and what level the other party is, you can distinguish it at a glance.

Most of the people in this room are military attaché clothes, and there are five or six civil officials who smiled and nodded slightly when they saw him come in, Li Dan guessed that these people should be officials of the military department, and the clothes include Shangshu, left and right attendants, and each room Langzhong.

"Tanhualang is here? I'm sorry, but I'm discussing the matter of Mo Nan with the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so I have to call you."

Zhao Tuo beckoned Li Dan to come over, introduced Hou Xie (Lin Dachong, the governor of the left capital) and other generals for him, and introduced the military department Shangshu Gulin, the left waiter Yang Shi'an, and the right waiter Qian Hui.

and Li Dan's top boss Fang Shilang Zhong Cai Xing, who is a white-skinned, small-eyed guy with a mustache and a little sneaky.

"The Fang Cai Commander said that he had received the latest report, and there were reports from the insiders of the caravan that they had heard that thousands of horses from Mobei had appeared in Harai, and that Seyan had raised an alarm to ask the warriors of all divisions to assemble." The emperor introduced to Li Dan.

He did it so naturally that most of these courtiers did not expect it, and exchanged glances with each other in surprise.

Li Dan was unimpressed by this kind of headless information, he frowned, and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Cai, when did you receive this report, and when did the caravan hear about it?"

"From the border to Jingshi, departure to the border ......," Cai Xing rolled his eyelids and pinched his fingers like a god and calculated, "They should have heard the news forty days ago!"

"Forty days?" Li Dan immediately turned to the emperor: "Your Majesty, maybe at this time the Kelco is already attacking Yidu City, we can't hesitate any longer, we need to immediately mobilize our troops to prepare for battle, and at the same time, the envoys who go to Seyan must also set off quickly!"

"Are you worried?"

"The minister is worried that Chaeqi Khan will not be able to resist, and now not only must he be dragged into the gang, but also must try to make Seyan slow down the pace of Kerka, and give us time to arrange and move!"

"Well, I'll do it! So, do you still think they're going to come in the way of Cullen?"

"Your Majesty, as long as he continues to go east, he will aim at Liaoxi, and as long as he wants to enter Liaoxi, he can only take this mountain pass." Hou Xie opened his mouth and said:

"Of course, he can do it if he goes southeast and over the mountains, but it's a lot slower, and it's dangerous to get too close to the side wall.

The minister thought that he would use a quick word to make a fuss about the launch of the ban this time, and he would win before everyone eased up, but he was afraid that there would be an accident in the middle, such as being dragged somewhere!"

"What the old general said is extremely reasonable!" Li Dan agreed: "The minister has three suggestions: first, send more people to the grassland to inquire about the news; Second, immediately mobilize troops from western Liaoning, southern Liaoning, and Dengzhou to assemble ...... in Xingzhong, Yizhou, and Hongzhou."

"That's already the border." It was Sun Anguo, the former military governor, who spoke: "The army has been mobilized, how can the grain and grass be guaranteed? It's a desolate, uninhabited Dadianzi for hundreds of miles!"

"Don't worry, senior, I'll think of a way, and even I can help find a way for military salaries. Now the key is to be fast! You also know the speed of the cavalry, and if we don't get ready in front of them, we'll be very passive in the back!"

Li Dan nodded to Hou Xie: "The Right Governor also said just now, and he must be trying to catch us off guard, but he probably didn't expect us to notice it so quickly

His movements. Also, how long Seyan can hold him back is also a key!"

Gu Lin was very surprised when he listened, he hadn't figured out why Li Dan, a new science explorer from the south, was so familiar with grassland affairs, and it seemed that he and His Majesty and Hou Xie should have known each other a long time ago.

Although he was inferior to his father in military command, he still had two views as a civilian official. "Li Tanhua, you just said that there is a way to raise military salaries and food? What are you going to do?"

He asked, "It's no joke to know that you have prepared rations for tens of thousands of troops in a hurry!"

"Dan would like to ask Lord Shangshu, how many troops can be mobilized to the front line in the shortest possible time this time? What is the amount of military pay and food and grass required?"

Gu Lin and his subordinates discussed a few words on the ground, and then reported to the emperor: "Let Ning Yuanwei go out of Lizhou, and Guangning Zhongtun Wei go out of Xingzhong, these two troops add up to 5,000 people.

Guangningwei, Guangning Tunwei, Gaizhouwei, Haizhouwei, Dongningwei, Shenyang Zhongwei and Liaodong Town's direct subordinate troops, adding up to 30,000 people;

Tielingwei and Liaohaiwei have just completed their training, and there are 8,000 people, and these two teams can be transferred to Lizhou."

"A suggestion to Lord Shangshu, you can urgently transfer the two guards of Jinzhou and Fuzhou to the north, let the reserve Japanese armies of Deng, Lai, Weihai, and Yantai enter Jin, Hai, and Gai as reinforcements, and at the same time transfer the two guards of Kaiping and Funing to enter the defense of Jinzhou."

Li Gengsan closed his eyes slightly and said, he could see that the situation map of the Bohai Rim region was in the old man's mind.

"But even then, it's just over 50,000. Can this battle be won?" Someone whispered, the emperor frowned, apparently he was also worried. "And it's spread out on such a long front......." Another military general said.

The emperor looked at Li Dan, but Li Dan was looking at Gu Lin: "What if you add the transfer needs of Shandong and Hebei Guannei?"

"Nearly 80,000 people, if the war is fought for three months, at least 145,000 stone of grain, not counting the cost of forage and bean feed for livestock, not counting the cost of bows, crossbows, guns, etc., and these must be transported to the front line for long distances!" He sighed.

"Well, then even if all of these add up, one hundred and twenty thousand taels is enough, right?" Li Dan asked.

Gu Lin's eyes narrowed, "Of course, it would be enough, but where can I find so much money on the question?" Won't the household strangle me?" Everyone laughed.

"An Daren is a scholar, where can I pinch you?" The emperor also laughed out loud, and then when he heard Li Dan say something, his face suddenly changed.

"Even if it's 1.5 million taels, my lord and mobilize the troops, I will immediately discuss with Your Majesty how to pay this money."

"You said 1.5 million yourself, don't beat my idea!" Zhao Tuo turned around and walked into the back of the hall to "change clothes", and said viciously to Li Dan who followed later: "There is not so much silver in the palace, do you want to tear down this hall and sell it for money?"

"This...... It's not worth that much if it's dismantled!" Li Dan looked up at the main hall quite seriously and said, "Actually, Your Majesty has something better, use it as collateral, and then issue treasury bonds to the merchants."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Tuo didn't turn the corner.

"As long as the household department can come up with 400,000 taels at the moment, the troops can start to act, you first negotiate with Lord An to use the Huangzhuang mortgage as a guarantee, and let him allocate funds to the military department for emergencies;

Then we will issue bonds to the merchants, and get the remaining 1,100,000 taels from them."

Zhao Tuo asked what the Mingguo bond was, and he was angry and funny: "People are not stupid, you take a paper and print a ticket and ask him to take out the money, isn't it a joke?"

Besides, if it can be solved with a few pieces of paper, what is the trouble to do, wouldn't it be solved by printing the meeting ticket directly?"

"Why didn't Your Majesty print it?"

"How can a ticket be printed at will? It is something that is printed by the bank, and it can be exchanged for money or cash from the same industry wherever it goes, and it can also be used as money. The imperial court is not a money bank, how can it print this?" Zhao Tuo had an expression of "don't think I don't understand".

"The key to being able to print tickets is that everyone thinks or knows that they have coins or cash in their treasury, right?" Zhao Tuo thought about this reason, so he clicked

Head. Li Dan went on to say:

"Therefore, if the imperial court wants to borrow money from merchants, it must also find something that everyone recognizes as valuable, scarce, and it is really possible for him to get his hands as collateral as collateral!"

"The truth is this, what do you want to use as collateral? What is scarce in this temple is the golden silk nanmu and the gold leaf pasted on it." Zhao Tuo replied half-jokingly.

"Eh, Your Majesty is serious, okay? The minister is talking about the Changlu Salt Farm and the Dongping Iron Mine!"

"What?" Zhao Tuo almost screamed, "Oh, I understand! Do you mean to use the salt and iron industry monopolized by the imperial court as collateral and then borrow money from the merchants? This ......."

"Your Majesty, don't hesitate, when the Kels enter Liaodong, then it will not be a matter of borrowing 150,000!" Looking at Li Dan's eyes, Zhao Tuo admitted that he was telling the truth. Now both sides want the word "fast", and whoever is one step later will be unlucky.

"Another way is to use the salt classes in Hebei, Shandong and Shuntianfu as a guarantee, and return it in three years, with two points of interest." After Li Dan finished speaking, he added in a low voice:

"The two-cent profit is very low, and the people generally start with the three-cent profit, and the law stipulates that it is not higher than five cents.

However, firstly, our collateral and collateral are very tough, and the private sector is incomparable, and secondly, no private sector can borrow so much and the scale is so large!

Thirdly, the government prints out the treasury bonds, and allows the creditors to hold the bills to the Sijing and the various political departments to go through the transfer procedures, and the new creditors will hand over the purchase money in person, and the banknotes and customs bureaus will complete the transfer of the bonds after collecting the deed tax.

In this way, the note becomes a negotiable security."

"What do you mean? They can sell as much as they want, and they can sell as much as they want?" Zhao Tuo was puzzled.

"That's right, if the war is good, the bond will double its value, and if it is not good, the creditor can sell and transfer it at a low price."

"Speculation?" Zhao Tuo immediately remembered this word.

"Your Majesty, businessmen can't afford to be profitable, so what's wrong with giving them a chance to speculate? It's better than letting them go down to the price of food and oil in private, right?"

The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth slowly raised: "Li Sanlang, I can't see that you guy, it's very bad!" In that case, wouldn't it be better for us to get more bonds in the future?"

Li Dan thought to himself that you are bad! "Your Majesty, the treasury bonds can be issued as a supplement to the household finances. But this thing can't be issued indiscriminately, after all, there is still an interest to be cashed out at that time. If you can't cash it in, that's a big disaster!"

"Then, this time you are making two profits, where does this money come from?"

"You forgot? After this battle, we took back all the land around Kulun to Lizhou, and along the Liutiaogou River valley to the foot of Wudan and Daqingshan, there are millions of acres of cultivated land and pastures.

Wouldn't it be easy to use it to repay those two cents? Not only did he have the martial arts to expand the territory, but he could also immigrate tens of thousands of people from the Central Plains, and he also greatly weakened the Kerco, and became relatives with Seyan, so he won more than one stone, Your Majesty!"

Li Dan was kind and seductive, and a confident and satisfied smile appeared on Zhao Tuo's face.

"Qing sketched note Chen, I will take care of it over there." His head was slightly raised, his eyes narrowed, and he looked ambitious.

The emperor had already prioritized all the important tasks in his heart, and thought about how to lay out the relationship between the military department and the household department, and how other departments such as the Ministry of Rites should cooperate before and after the battle.

When Li Dan left the palace, the boasting officials on the street had already ended. Lu Jiu didn't see his son-in-law riding a white horse wearing a red flower, and he looked unhappy.

"Alright, don't show your face!" Li Dan smiled and said, "I was called away by the Holy Decree, you don't know how many people envy it, does this make the Holy Family know? It's your Majesty's liking for your son-in-law."

"If you don't understand this, Lu Jiu knows that everyone else is happy, what about my son-in-law? No one saw it!" Lu Jiu didn't buy it, and he didn't care if the horse walked aimlessly on the street.

"Where are you going?" Li Dan was amused in his heart and shouted out of the car window.

Only then did Lu Jiu come to his senses, and he saw that the place around him was a little unfamiliar. "Eh, I look like I've already walked through!" He shouted, and hurriedly inquired about others, this place had already passed back to Luanmen, and even crossed the Xueyan Bridge.

See him want to drop

head, Li Dan hurriedly stopped. Although this car is nimble, if you make a U-turn on the streets of the city, won't you block the road? "Forget it, let's continue to walk forward to Xiangjun Road Sihaiju!" He instructed Lu Jiu. The people of the Lou family have been busy since they entered Beijing, so they simply stopped by to see them today.
