Six hundred and thirty-one chapters of the rule of the emperor (three)

Unyishi still wore Luo Luo, but she was graceful and even with Luo Bu, she could see some vague appearance. She just couldn't stare at her when she was walking. It was still different from when she was walking. Can a pretty widow be ashamed of a melon field and plum blossoms?

Zheng Lang stood up like a devil, his mind was still calm, standing at the threshold of the outer hall and the inner hall, and did not really enter the inner hall.

Before moving, the clan picked up the lord, and Yingying bowed: "The bright moon has met Mr. Zheng."

"No need to be polite, what are you going to say?" Mingyue, a slight sweat broke out from Zheng Lang's forehead.

Wuyi glanced outside with his eyes, and saw that people outside could not see this place. He walked to Zheng Lang, and raised his head and whispered, "I'm not old."

Zheng Lang nodded.

"But who dares to marry me?"

Some troublesome. Even if someone dares to marry, the court will block it for its role. Once the family is married, can they still have appeal? At first, the father and daughter are just escaping, but they didn't expect that after coming to the Song Dynasty for a long time, they gradually realized the seriousness of this problem. There was no blame for the Song Dynasty for using them. They were fish, the Song Dynasty was a knife and the Song Dynasty did a good job. They moved out the best Northwest River Valley to allow their tribes to live and work in peace and contentment, and gave them the position of Shangshu. The two brothers of the Wushi clan served as officials of the Song Dynasty one after another. If they only asked them to cooperate, could they not agree?

Zheng Lang cannot answer.

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

Zheng Lang shook his head.

A few tears suddenly dripped from Wuyi's eyes.

Zheng Lang couldn't shake his head.

Wuyi took out a placard from his arms and whispered, "See the placard and see people."

What does it mean? Zheng Lang didn't understand it and wanted to refuse, but Wuyi's eyes showed endless grievances. Zheng Lang's words of rejection came to his mouth and could not be said.

After not moving, he put on Luo again, walked out and sat down.

The two Khitan envoys looked at Zheng Lang and Wuyi clan with suspicious eyes, and did not think about other aspects. Zheng Lang's actions in the Khitan were too upright, but he just suspected that Wuyi clan asked Zheng Lang if he could go to the Khitan, or asked Zheng Lang to give him a face-to-face advice. But the time was short. Zheng Lang seemed to have nothing to say. Yelu Qing had to look at Wuyi clan and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Like Zheng Lang, he was called Madam and could not be called Queen. He could not use Ning Ling as an excuse to bring Wuzhi to the Khitan.

Wuyi asked back: "Is the Northern Envoy. Is the Empress of Xixia last year?"

Yelu Qing could not answer.

"Is Brother Ning Ling the prince of Xixia... You Khitan also regard yourself as China, and your civilized etiquette is no different from the Central Plains. If you were not the Huns in the past, you don't even object to the bad habit of marrying your son to your mother? I'm sorry that I can't agree."

Yelu Qing almost wanted to say, you are the mother of the farts. Zheng Lang had already reached out and said, "I don't want to go to the Khitan without moving the empress. Don't force the emissary. The Song and Liao countries have to reconcile, and they need to show some sincerity to reconcile for a long time. Our dynasty changed the tribute to the priest. The annual tribute of 300,000 was changed to 500,000, and it has made huge concessions. If your country repeatedly takes advantage of the pride, our dynasty will also give an explanation to the subjects, which will inevitably hurt the relationship between the two countries. As for this marriage, one is that the mother and son are inconvenient to marry, which is contrary to human relations. Second, the empress has become Yuanhao's wife without moving the empress, which is not justified. Third, the Xixia subjects belong to our dynasty, and we also have to give them an explanation. What will the Xixia people have for our dynasty if we marry our mother and son? Please do it, two envoys."

Wuyi's identity changed from his wife to a queen from Zheng Lang's mouth. When he heard the word "Queen". Wuyi's identity turned to Zheng Lang secretly.

Zheng Lang didn't dare to have sex with her, so he forced Yelu Qing and Wang Yuanji to move to the house.

After seeing off the Khitan envoy, the Ping An Supervisor paid dividends to the capital. Ye Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief. Last year, Zheng Lang squandered a lot, and the soldiers who laid off troops were settled, disaster relief, the water conservancy construction of the Farmland Water Conservancy Law, the luxurious cannoning ceremony of Concubine Zhang, and the officials were pensioned by officials at the end of the year. All the finances of the Sansi made Zheng Lang squander all, and the emperor allocated a large amount of funds from the inner warehouse, otherwise the Sansi would face serious difficulties. With this dividend, the Sansi finally breathed.

What is actually wrong is the first step to lay off troops. The settlement of veterans costs a lot of money, but the imprisonment has been laid off to 610,000 people and the wing soldiers has been laid off to 320,000 people. It is not as optimistic as Zheng Lang expected, but the number of soldiers has dropped a lot. If the troops are not increased in the future, military expenditure will save a lot of money for the country.

This is on the table.

After the flood disaster in Hebei in history, Fu Bi collected tens of thousands of soldiers as soldiers in order to settle the victims, and the court also added tens of thousands of ban troops to safeguard the victims. Originally, Pang Ji and Wen Yanbo's measures to lay off troops had achieved results, but this flood caused the redundant soldiers to return to the past.

Zheng Lang presided over that last year, not only did not increase troops, but instead laid off a large number of redundant troops. With this invisible incoming and outgoing, the savings could not 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, for example, the Zhang River was dredged last year and introduced the Zhang River into the new river. Since then, the flood has dropped severely, and this year it can immediately turn hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land from barren land to fertile land.

But both the monarch and the ministers lack confidence. These measures are good, but will God make the Song Dynasty better? If another business bank breaks the dam, the finances will still be very difficult this year.

Then he sold the last 50% of the Ping An Supervision Commission shares. The Banking Department has been established for several months, but there has been no movement. Zhang Fangping and Zheng Lang often took time to teach the bank officials in various states in the past few months, but the people didn't know.

Ping An Supervision Income increased slowly, but it continued to rise steadily. However, the result of the change was still not ideal. This was the last 50% of the shares, and the money sold was still less than 10 million yuan. Some officials began to doubt the bank's shares, which was not a small amount, but required 30 million yuan. In addition, the more than 9 million yuan, the court subsidized it to make up enough of the original principal.

But Zheng Lang did not move. The news had long been spread. Many people asked for inquiries, but the stock stocks had not been auctioned. Then the Secretariat and Sansi jointly ordered to start minting coins, not only copper coins, but also gold and silver coins, with one or two pounds minting ten coins.

As the edict is issued, anyone can refuse to accept gold and silver coins, but gold and silver coins are circulated and no tax shall be imposed.

The two orders made everyone suspicious.

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

Only a few people know the answer. Zheng Lang explained that gold and silver coins are expensive. One silver coins are equivalent to two hundred cents, and one gold coins are equivalent to one thousand coins. Although Dashi had been circulating gold and silver coins for a long time. China's gold and silver production was insufficient, and there were not many people who could identify the authenticity. Their function was still a quasi-currency and could not be circulated to the public to avoid forgers and small people. This purpose was not for civil use, but for commercial purposes, and cooperated with Jiaozi to sufficient currency. Therefore, this strange edict was created to prevent it from forcing it to flow into the people forcibly to avoid harming the people. But it was okay for merchants. There were many gold and silver coins, and even if someone imitated it, it would be identified one by one in the eyes of these people, and it would not cause harm. Originally, gold and silver were all used as commodities to collect a certain proportion of taxes. If the court did not collect it, many merchants would use gold and silver coins to trade. In fact, it was equivalent to increasing the amount of currency.

After circulating for a long time, the common people know more about the real and fake, the casting process is developed, and it is not easy to imitate. Silver coins that are relatively cheap can be gradually distributed to the public to make up for the shortcomings of copper coins.

Japan mined gold and silver in a large number of gold and silver, and there were Ping Anjian. Miners even found several gold and silver mines in the distant Oceania. It was not Zheng Lang's guidance. Although the mining was difficult. The flow of gold and silver into the Song Dynasty began to increase rapidly. So in the first year of Huangyou, four million taels of silver coins and three hundred thousand taels of gold coins were issued. The copper blocks of Ping Anjian were prohibited from flowing to the place, mostly used to mint coins. A total of 14 million coins were minted. At the same time, the court also printed 80 million coins. Jiaozi could not be counted. It was admitted that it was currency, but it was not recognized that it was still a piece of cloth and a piece of exquisitely made silk cloth. But the former laid the foundation for the amount of currency when the bank implemented it.

These measures were implemented one by one, but the imperial court did not have the time to establish the bank.

Many people in the Song Dynasty were looking forward to banks. In the West, the Khitan and Xixia were in a fierce battle. Xixia was angry at the Khitan invasion of Ligong, and hated the Khitan to take Ning Lingge in and no longer contributed. The Khitan sent envoys to question him, and asked Ning Lingge to lure some of the captured nobles, asking these nobles to write letters to lure surrender to various tribes of the Western Xia. The Khitan succeeded. Several tribes near the Khitan border fled to Jinsu City. Xixia sent troops to chase him. Yelu Gao's family slaves led their troops to defeat the pursuers of Xixia and brought more than 7,000 people to the Khitan.

When the Wuzang brother and sister saw that the Khitan failed repeatedly, they despised the Khitans and sent generals Wa Pu and others to lead their troops to attack Jinsu City. Gao Jianu led his troops to attack him head-on and defeated him. Several generals from Xixia were killed in battle, and Wa Pu ran away seriously injured.

In March, the Mozang family sent an observation envoy Edushi to supervise the troops in Sanjiaochuan, Henan, to see the Khitan Wesse Fort. The Khitan general Xiao Dielide led a light army to attack him and killed eight scouts. Seeing that the generals of the Western Xia were not equipped, they took advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy. The light army rushed into the Western Xia camp. Edushi was defeated and was captured. Edushi himself was also captured and lost countless supplies and equipment.

In April, Liao Xingzong ordered Xiao Punu, Yelu Yixin, and Xiao Samo to lead troops to attack Xia. Begude supervised the war. Xiao Ge followed the border town to support the army. All the generals were not considered famous generals. However, this attack was not the leader of Liao Xingzong himself, but the Khitan army successfully entered the territory of Xixia and besieged Xingqing Prefecture. It was not taken down. However, it raised a large number of troops and plundered him. He also asked Ning Lingge to come to the front line and persuaded the surrender of the tribes. He even asked Ning Lingge to shout to the Xia soldiers on the front line in Xingqing Prefecture, asking them to put down their weapons and surrender. The shouting that Wuzang Epang's brother and sister were in panic all day long. At this time, Wuzang Epang's confidant, Zhu Chongzhao, Zhang Hu and Cao Ling, who "surrendered" Xixia's rebel soldiers, took turns to shoot Ning Lingge with strong bows. Zhu Chongzhao scored Ning Lingge's Guan with one arrow, almost killing Ning Lingge. The Khitans were afraid and took Ning Lingge back to the military camp.

After sieging the city for several days, both sides suffered heavy losses. Seeing that there was no hope of seizing the city, Xiao Punu returned to the Khitan with a large amount of captured materials and surrendered Xixia tribes. On the way, he encountered another surprise. Wapu was defeated and Wuzang Epang wanted to kill him. The Wuzang clan pleaded for mercy and ordered him to train troops on Helan Mountain to observe the future. When the Khitan army went deeper, Wapu was afraid of being killed and led his troops to surrender.

In the three consecutive battles, especially the last battle, Xixia suffered far more heavy losses than in history.

When Zhao Zhen heard the information coming from Xixia, he felt sad and said, "Zheng Qing, what he said is so true, the Khitans should not underestimate it."

Zheng Lang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The number of battles this time is far smaller than the previous two times, so the winner cannot be judged. Although the Khitan cannot be underestimated or overestimated."

Liao and Xia were fighting hard, and the good years of the Song Dynasty came again.

The summer harvest was relatively smooth, and then Zheng Lang did another thing, purchasing grain for storage. However, no one objected. There were too many disasters in recent years, and one after another came to prepare more grain storage to prevent accidents. In March, another three yuan was released, and Feng Jing, a native of Jiangxia, was released.

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 and was only forty-nine years old. It was the best time in his life that made Zheng Lang feel sad.

The court appointed Zhang Yaozuo as the envoy of the three officials.

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't know the story behind the scenes. In order to prevent Zheng Lang from opposing, Zhao Zhen and Zheng Lang talked for a long time. Zheng Lang finally said: "Don't ruin national affairs."

After convinced Zheng Lang, Pang Ji and Wen Yanbo naturally had no objection. They were both people on Concubine Zhang's ship. Chen Zhizhong and Song Xiang both said nothing, so the edict passed. In June, the Khitan broke the grain city again. This city was in the northwest of Helan Mountain, and was the place where the Western Xia grain storage was stored. The Khitan scouts heard it and sent troops to attack him. They all sent their troops to return. The Wuzang clan was so angry that they sent troops to attack Khitan in September, but were defeated by the Khitan bravely defeating the enemy Lugu and Haili.

The two countries fought fiercely, and the people were living in poverty.

On this side of the Song Dynasty, there was peace, good weather and good harvests. But Yanchen still did not let Chen Zhi go. Last year, Chen did not fall down, but Chen Zhizhong himself asked Yanchen to seize the handle and took over the Bu Xiangshi in the mansion. This was also a taboo for the rulers. Chen Zhizhong and Yue impeached Chen Zhizhong to use Li Zhongshi as the mansion's territory. Lu Changling and others liked to join the bandits without learning and disagreed with the public. What did Lu Changling do to do Chen Zhizhong?

Chen Zhizhong was forced to be helpless by Yanchen, and he resigned from the position of prime minister with foot disease and came to the prefect of Chenzhou. Chen Zhizhong left the capital, and Xixia also sent an envoy, but Yang Shousu came to ask for money. Fan Xiang did a good job in salt administration, and put aside the anger of the powerful and powerful, which played a lot of role. Shaanxi was once again in a good harvest, and he gave him more confidence. However, under his governance, the scale of private salt was reduced, and Xixia failed several times, and the country was in short supply. So Yang Shousu recommended himself to come to the Song Dynasty to ask for money.

You can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight in the Song Dynasty, but you have to take out some bait so that we can continue to fight in Xixia. The letter of the country does not say that, but the meaning is probably the same. Zheng Lang said to Zhao Zhen again: "Let me come and receive me."

There will be many things in the autumn. Nong Zhigao, the bank, and the Xixia, you have to continue fighting, otherwise the two countries may reconsider peace.

When Yang Shousu sat down, Zheng Lang asked, "Yang Shousu, do you think you Xixia can really defeat the Khitan?"

Yang Shousu dared not answer a series of failures.

"I can plan a plan for you Xixia, so that you Xixia can calmly defeat the Khitan, and even force them to return Brother Ning Ling to you Xixia."

"Take it seriously?" Yang Shousu was happy first, and then suspected that this boy had the ability, but could he help Xixia defeat the Khitan?

"It's true. Even once you get the merits, I will instruct the border states to let you open up all the paths and let you circulate in Xixia for one month."

"What's the point?" Yang Shousu pretended to be calm, but his heart was in a state of turmoil. In the past, no matter how the Song Dynasty cooperated tacitly, it was finally prohibited by the imperial edict. Once it was open, it would not take a month. In just half a month, and sufficient preparation, it would be able to transport more than one million stones of green salt to the Song Dynasty. He was excited at first, but then he woke up. The fruit was too big and he couldn't eat well, and Xixia would tear off a few big front teeth.
