The daily life of Dali Siqing

Is it normal to buy news of Yang Qingyuan's whereabouts?That's too normal for Prince Zhao's mansion!

It's not just Zhao Wang, who has reached the level of Yang Qingyuan, how many forces will care about Yang Qingyuan's whereabouts.

But if Zhao Wangfu used 30 taels of gold to buy Yang Qingyuan's whereabouts, that would be outrageous!
Due to changes in the economic system in recent years, the original gold has also been included in the currency of circulation. Of course, the gold tickets of Tiandi Bank are still the main ones.

30 taels of gold. Although the market has ups and downs, it is easy to exchange for 300 million taels of silver.

Like Jizhou's ordinary wealthy counties, the annual tax is less than 30 taels. Only the two county-level administrative units of Pingshan County and Yecheng Mansion can collect more than 30 taels of tax.

This is equivalent to the annual tax revenue of ten top counties!
Zhao Wangfu is very rich, but not a fool.

If they exchanged 30 taels of gold for a message, it must be the news and its added value, worth 30 taels of gold.

"Your Majesty, King Zhao's rebellion is just around the corner!" Wu Keming and Wang Hua had already made a judgment.

Under what circumstances can Yang Qingyuan's whereabouts be worth 30 taels? !
Of course, when King Zhao was about to raise troops to rebel, if it could be confirmed that Yang Qingyuan was not in the Central Plains and it was difficult to return, then King Zhao's momentum of raising troops would increase his chances of winning by two points.

This is not an exaggeration, but actually exists.

Today's Zhou Ting can mobilize troops to deal with King Zhao, only the Tiance Army and Yulin Army. Although Cao Xueyang newly formed the Longwu Army, in the eyes of everyone in the court, it has not yet formed a complete combat force.

The Longwu Army has only been established for more than three years, and its subordinate troops have expanded to 15.

But among the 15 people, there are only [-] old soldiers from the original Tabai Battalion, and the rest are recruits.

Naturally, there is no need to say much about the combat power of the new recruits, so the soldiers and horses available to the imperial court are actually the Imperial Forest Army and part of the Tiance Army, and the Longwu Army can only be used as a supplement to the defensive force. It collapses at the touch of a finger.

At least that's what everyone in the court thinks at the moment.

Although Wu Keming is the commander of the Yulin Army, its real leader is actually Yang Qingyuan.

This imperial forest army was formed by the mixed integration of the [-] Tiance Army led by Yang Qingyuan and the original Jinyang garrison army.

Having experienced the baptism of the Battle of Jinyang, he has also seen the demeanor of Yang Qingyuan.

In the hands of Wu Keming, the Imperial Forest Army can exert [-]% of its combat power.In the hands of Yang Qingyuan, that is [-]% combat power.

And Yang Qingyuan, a famous general in the world, although he was born as a civil servant, has never been defeated in the battlefield. Whether it is the battle of Cangyun Pass, he killed Khan in the first battle; ;Ambush on all sides, after a big defeat, Jin.

Even King Zhao is afraid of such a record.

For rebellion, of course, it is necessary to accumulate strength, improve prestige, and learn from others.But the most important thing is to be able to win!
If King Zhao can't defeat the imperial army, then no matter how strong his accumulation is and how high his prestige is, so what? !

And Yang Qingyuan was someone Zhao Wang might not be able to beat.

No one present could have imagined this consideration.

Therefore, after confirming the news that King Zhao's Mansion spent 30 taels of gold from Tianji Building, there is only one purpose left for King Zhao's Mansion!

Wu Keming also took the initiative to ask, "Master Di, since you have information on the six doors, do you know where Yang Hou is now?! Can you make it back in time?!"

Wu Keming started at the end of the century and used his troops cautiously. Although he was conceited that he would not lose to the King of Zhao, if he could get the help of Yang Qingyuan, he would be more sure of defeating the King of Zhao.

Di Zhiyuan shook his head, "I'm not sure about Yanghou's whereabouts, but according to Tianjilou, Yanghou is currently in southern Xinjiang."

Emperor Linde also said, "Teacher sent a letter to Liu Dufeng, the chief arrester of the Six Gates, and Zhuge Zhengwo of the Shenhou Mansion, and invited them to go south to exterminate the demons. This time, the opponent is no small matter! I'm afraid we won't be able to return in a short time! "

After being confirmed, everyone's inner style of play began to change.

When Yang Qingyuan is present, there is naturally a way of playing; if he is not, there is also a way of playing absent.

Emperor Linde has been on the throne for almost four years, and the strength of the imperial court is also developing rapidly.

"This is the grain circulation in the land of Yanzhao and the purchase list of Zhao Wangfu provided by Jinyiwei and Hulong Villa. From the book, Zhao Wangfu is at most 30 shi more than we expected."

Li Chengguang, who had been silent all this time, spoke, and after Yu Yanyi's death, he was temporarily acting as Minister of the Ministry of War.

In the second year of Linde, Li Chengguang was formally promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and served as a bachelor of the Wuying Palace.

Because of Yang Qingyuan's design, the military department of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Sixth Army Commander's Office were separated, and the military equipment, logistics, recruiting, meritorious service and other functions not directly related to the war belonged to the military department.

The functions related to combat in the army are owned by the Sixth Army Commander's Mansion.

"According to the daily standards of my soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty, ordinary soldiers can get two liters of rice grain per day, which is six buckets of rice grain per day. Horses have three liters of concentrate per day, and a bunch of hay is about one liter, which is nine buckets of grain and three stones of grass per month. With [-] soldiers and horses, counting the war horses and pack horses, the monthly food consumption is about [-] shi. If the logistics consumption is counted, it is more than [-] shi. With the number of soldiers and horses under King Zhao's command, it is impossible for the food and grass in his hands to support His armies fought for a long time."

War intelligence, which is an important part of the intelligence department of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was proposed by Yang Qingyuan, and Jinyiwei, Hulong Villa and others were all involved in the establishment.

Its purpose is to serve the war of the Great Zhou. Originally, the enemies of the Great Zhou were Houjin and Beigan.

After the Jin Dynasty was destroyed and Beiqian was restrained, the focus of the war intelligence department of the Great Zhou Dynasty shifted to King Zhao.

For the grain circulation in the land of Yanzhao, there are records in the Ministry of War.

Li Chengguang calculated carefully but found that the matter was not simple.

Wang Hua immediately objected, "Since King Zhao decided to raise troops, he certainly did not act hastily. He must have bought food through other means."

"But food will not appear out of thin air. Forage is good. King Zhao can get it from the northern border. However, food is a strategic material, and grain merchants, large and small, have records in our Ministry of War. There is no way there will be surplus food." Li Chengguang denied, "And, I have discussed this issue with Yang Hou before, and Yang Hou's opinion agrees with mine."

Data can only be falsified, not deceiving.

But there is no problem with the data itself, and the results drawn from the data will naturally not have problems.

Yang Qingyuan has always thought so!
Although Yang Qingyuan was not present at this meeting, his sense of presence was very high.

"Can Li Shangshu confirm?!" Wang Hua also gently twitched his beard when he heard the words.

"It's natural!" Li Chengguang is very confident in his professional level.

The Minister of the Household Department also agreed, "What Li Shangshu said is true. The Ministry of Households has detailed records of the grain production in the past few years. King Zhao may be able to make money, but the grain cannot be changed."

Wu Keming hesitated for a moment, "Could it be that Zhao Wang spent a huge sum of money to buy it from Beigan?!"

Li Chengguang shook his head and denied, "Pekan is not a big grain-producing country, and the past two years have not been good. Only by buying grain from me in Dazhou can the domestic grain price be guaranteed. It is impossible to sell precious things for a small profit. food."

Food is something that you can't usually see, and you will feel its preciousness only when it is in short supply.

Relying on Dazhou's grain trade, Beigan can stabilize the situation.

Otherwise, once there is a shortage of food, it will be considered a civil uprising.

No amount of money is a cloud in the face of national stability, and it is absolutely impossible for Pekan to sell rice.

Emperor Linde suggested, "Should the Metropolitan Procuratorate check the granary again to see if anyone has resold grain without permission..."

Suddenly, Thirteen was stunned!

That's right, although there have been no incidents of granary theft in recent years, at the end of 19, a shocking case broke out in Dazhou.

Of the five major granaries in Gyeonggi, except for the Yongji warehouse, the other four warehouses all caught fire overnight, and the grain in them was completely burned.

This is the biggest case in 19 years, and it is also the first case handled by Yang Qingyuan.

The case started from Li Bailiang, the largest private ship merchant with a huge private shipping fleet, and spread to Zhao Dehan, the person in charge of the official warehouse in the Gyeonggi area, Qian Liangping, the censor of water transportation, porters and migrant workers of the Cao Gang, and finally found the capital at that time. The chief assistant is An Yunshan.

An Yunshan was the largest silver merchant and grain merchant in the capital at that time.

At this moment, thanks to Yang Qingyuan, he recovered part of the grain.

But there were still nearly 300 million shi of grain, which eventually disappeared from the court's sight.

This case is related to Gong Ziyu. When Yang Qingyuan and An Liubu were investigating the Qinglong Society, they wanted to find out the whereabouts of this batch of grain, but there was no trace.

With Zhao Yu's death, Qinglong will be destroyed, and the food seems to have disappeared.

"Your Majesty!?" Wang Hua and others also noticed the strangeness of Emperor Linde.

"Masters, do you still remember what happened at the end of 19 in Yong'an?" Emperor Linde came back to his senses and asked with a complicated expression.

"That was the biggest case in my Dazhou granary. The fourth granary was burned, thanks to Qingyuan..." Wang Hua also paused when he spoke.

Everyone present reacted.

Grain, the grain that disappeared in Yongan's 19-year granary case, was at least 300 million shi.

"That's not right!" Wu Keming shook his head. "The shelf life of my Dazhou grain storage is three years. It can't be more! The batch of grain that disappeared in Yong'an in 19 years may not be edible long ago!"

But Wang Hua shook his head with a complicated expression, "Wu Dudu doesn't handle food and grass, maybe he doesn't know, but have you ever heard that the Marquis of Huaiyin ruled Sudu in the past?!"

The military and government are separated, and the generals leading the troops cannot interfere with the granary, so naturally they will not know the operation of the granary.

But the deeds of Marquis Huaiyin are familiar to any general.

"The governor naturally knows that the Marquis of Huaiyin is appointed as the governor of Sudu, and the rice and grain in the warehouse are long and rotten, and the Chen Yixin is used to benefit the people, and it is convenient for both public and private..."

At this point, Wu Keming couldn't continue, and everyone present also understood.

If King Zhao got this batch of grain in the 20th year of Yong'an, he could consume this batch of grain in the 20th year of Yong'an.

However, the food produced and bought in the 20th year of Yongan can be preserved until the 21st year of Yongan.

Introduce the old and bring forth the new, so repeatedly.

The 19-year batch of food from Yong'an came to Linde for three years in repeated cycles and became King Zhao's military ration.

300 million shi of grain, even if there is no other grain in the treasury of King Zhao's mansion, it is enough to support King Zhao's one-year war.

In addition, there is also a lot of grain in the treasury of the land of Yanzhao.

King Zhao will never worry about food in a short time.

"It seems that we can only confront each other head-on! Your Majesty, please issue an order to suppress the rebellion!" Qian Muqian, the chief minister of the cabinet, who had no sense of existence, took the lead in bowing and saluting.

"Your Majesty, please issue an order!"

All the ministers asked for orders together.

"Wang Hua, draw up the decree! Promote Wu Keming, the governor of the original Yulin Army, as the Jizhou Jiedu envoy, and raise 20 Yulin Army to go east to Jizhou to fight against Zhao Wang's rebels. Promote Cao Xueyang, the governor of the Longwu Army, as the Jizhou Jiedu envoy, be careful The King of Zhao attacked Bingzhou. Li Cheng'en, the governor of the Tiance Army, was promoted to be Liangzhou Jiedu envoy, the chief commander of the march, and commanded all the soldiers and horses of the Tiance Army and the Yunzhong Dufu. The Sixth Army Commander’s Mansion will immediately set up a staff department to fight against King Zhao, go to the front line, analyze the battle situation, and provide support for the three armies, and the imperial edict will be drafted by the cabinet and issued immediately.”

As the sonorous and resolute voice of Emperor Linde echoed in the hall, the biggest challenge after his ascension to the throne is about to begin.

……
-
Before March, in the northern border, Beigan, in the Golden Tent Palace.

The emperor of Pekan, the Great Khan of the Four Great Khanates, was receiving a guest in a masked black robe.

"Dear Khan, I don't know when you plan to take action to deal with Prince Liang's Mansion."

There was a smile on the corner of Pekan Khan's mouth. Unlike the early days of the cooperation, the current Pekan Emperor thought he had taken the initiative in the cooperation.

"If I did this, it would be of great benefit to Zhao Wangfu, but it seems that I didn't get anything!? Zhao Wangfu shouldn't express it?!"

"Khan was joking, Zhao Wangfu gave him a chance to become a real Khan, isn't that enough?!" The masked man in black didn't seem to care about the lofty status of Beigan Khan, but sneered.

Sure enough, the boy from Beigan, Dahan, changed his expression on the spot when he heard this sentence.

"Khan, you are a king, don't show your anger and joy, you look like this..."

The masked man in black robe did not restrain himself in the slightest because of the anger of Bei Gan Da Khan, but became more and more rampant.

"Presumptuous!" Bei Gan profusely slapped the dragon chair and shouted, "It's not your turn to teach me how to be an emperor!"

"Go and tell Zhu Kai to let him marry his little daughter into the Zhen Palace obediently, otherwise let him be a vassal king for the rest of his life!"

"Whether King Zhao will be a vassal king for the rest of his life, I don't know, but I know that if His Majesty takes this opportunity, he will only be a puppet for the rest of his life, or he will be under the shadow of Yelu Chucai and King Liang for the rest of his life." !"

This sentence has ignited the anger of the young Khan in Beigan. What he hates most is the person who says he is a puppet.

"Please take a shot at Mr., teach this man a lesson, break his front teeth, and let him know that some words cannot be spoken!"

Following the words of Beigan Dahan, a man in his forties with a strange appearance fell from the roof. (end of this chapter)
