Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 259 Dormant
The Song Dynasty and the Liao State signed an armistice agreement again. Although they still had to pay the Liao State the old coins, they not only canceled the addition of coins during the Qingli period, but also reduced the number of old coins stipulated during the Chanyuan Alliance.Although the scale of this war was much smaller than that of the Taizong and Zhenzong dynasties against the Liao Dynasty, it can be said to be a victory in terms of the result.

In the case of the Song Dynasty's money and food being stretched, this result made the whole court very satisfied. Therefore, the two countries signed a contract in mid-September. The meritorious ministers of World War I will be rewarded for their merits.

In this battle, Di Qing led nearly 20 main forces of the Song Army to defeat the Liao Army in Wangdu, beheading more than [-] people just before the battle, which fully demonstrated his military talent. Deputy envoy.In addition, Wang Kechen, Guo Kui, Zhang Kang, Jingtai, Gao Zunyu, Yang Shiqing, and Chong Er were all promoted, and even Han Qi, Xia Song, and the chief executives who planned the strategy also received awards.In this way, Li Buqi, who led [-] elite soldiers into Yanyun, could not be missed, but Li Buqi had already resigned from his official position, so he didn't mention that he was promoted. Money and silk were not rare for Li Buqi, so the emperor gave Li Buqi The father was promoted again, and the mother and wife were granted imperial orders, which actually fulfilled Li Buqi's promise to earn an imperial order for his mother.

Although this kind of reward looks good, for a young man in his twenties, in the eyes of ordinary people, he definitely does not have a promotion, and it will be more realistic to be a prime minister in a few years.They didn't know that this war had already brought too many benefits to Li Buqi.

First of all, Li Buqi is already a veritable famous general. As long as there is any major war, the emperor will definitely use him.Li Buqi is in charge of the police department, and he has long since discovered that there is a man named Nong Zhigao in Guangnan who is not stopping.Li Buqi had read Di Qing's story before time travel, and Di Qing's important achievement was to kill Nong Zhigao.So Li Buqi knew that Nong Zhigao would definitely make a big fuss in the south, and it was estimated that it would not take a few years before he would come back.And when the emperor asked him to fight Nong Zhigao, as an outlaw, he would have the conditions to bargain with the emperor.

Secondly, before the war, Li Buqi arranged a large number of students from Qingyuan Academy to serve as officials in Hebei.For example, Sun Yong, because he received the recommendation letter from Di Qing, Wang Kechen and others, Firewire promoted the prestige army formed by the merger of Zhimancheng and Wangdu, and because he reasonably felled the trees in the territory and sold them for money, he resettled three of them without spending any money from the court. The Qianxiang Army resumed production, and Zhao Zhen inscribed his name on the screen as a "cadre" for reuse.

When these officials grow up in the future, they can be called a solid foundation for Li Buqi to do things and make further progress.A small part of the reason why Li Buqi resigned this time was also for them. He was worried that they would form a "Qingyuan Party" prematurely to attract the emperor's attention, which would affect the promotion speed of these officials.

Again, Li Buqi had to resign from office to show his selflessness in order to justify his suggestion to the emperor to "strengthen the branches".The suggestion of "strengthening the stems and strong branches" spread quickly, and the local officials' favor for Li Buqi gradually increased. It was because Li Buqi opposed advocating literature and suppressing martial arts in the past. Rong's civil servants also began to praise Li Buqi as a real gentleman.

is not it!At this time in the Song Dynasty, many people understood that the policy of "strong stems and weak branches" had gone too far, but they could only pretend to ignore it because they were worried that mentioning this matter would touch the imperial power.If there is someone like Li Buqi who dares to give up his official position to try to change, what is it if he is not a real gentleman?
Coupled with Li Buqi's previous proposal that officials who were not involved in the king's affairs could be enshrined in the "Martyr's Shrine", Li Buqi's relationship with civil officials, especially local officials, has been greatly improved.

In the end, it is that Fu'an Bank can continue to operate smoothly as usual after showing its glory.And taking out millions of coins at a time let people see the strong financial resources of Fu'an Bank, which is the best advertisement, so that the savings business opened by the bank to all people can be smoothly promoted.

The court is full of sensible people, and many of them can become monkeys by sticking their hairs on them. It is natural to see that although Li Buqi has resigned, he still has a bright future, and even because of a temporary step back, the prospects are even broader.Therefore, after Li Buqi resigned, not only were there no cars and horses in front of Li's house, but it was even more lively, and some people were eyeing several of Li Buqi's sons and daughters.However, neither Li Buqi nor Zhao Min agreed, and even said a word. "Children are still young, who knows what they will grow into in the future? When they grow up, they still need to find someone they like. If their parents make decisions for them now, wouldn't it deprive them of a lifetime of happiness?"

In this era, the marriage of children is basically the order of their parents. Li Buqi's words are shocking.But Cao Guojiu and the others can understand Li Buqi and Zhao Min's marriage when they think about it.

In the eyes of the emperor, Li Buqi's sincerity in resigning from office was confirmed.The civil officials such as Xia Ji who proposed marriage, as well as the Cao family and the Gao family, which were not great help in the court, were all rejected. This is obviously willing to be indifferent.The emperor even felt very embarrassed about the slight suspicion of Li Buqi in the past.

Li Buqi just wanted to leave such an impression on the emperor that he was not enthusiastic about official career.He knew that this would give him huge points in the hearts of the emperor and in Shilin. No matter what he did in the future, people would at least not be able to accuse him of wanting to get promoted and get rich.

Why was Wang Anshi able to persevere in the reform for such a long time under the accusation of thousands of people?A big reason is that Wang Anshi resigned several times in the early days of his official career, so no one dared to question his own morality.This is the great role of "people's popularity".

Since you want to appear willing to be indifferent, you have to act like it.If you do nothing at home all day, it will appear hypocritical. It is inevitable that people will wonder whether Li Buqi's resignation is a show, just like those treacherous officials in history who retreated to advance.Fortunately, Li Buqi has something in his stomach. Apart from giving lectures and guiding drills in the military equipment school in person every day, he can also pretend to be a philosopher in the rest of the time.Even if a philosopher sits blankly, he can be said to be performing complex logical deduction. Who knows what Li Buqi is thinking?
Therefore, people can often see Li Buqi discussing with others in Qingyuan Academy such topics as "whether a person can step into the same river twice", "which is more important, rationality or experience", "broken window theory", and even discuss with Mao Zhichun Once again, he co-authored a book "Continuing Money", looking like a university student.

Of course, sometimes, people can also see Li Buqi helping to improve hydraulic machinery and gunpowder weapons in the academy, Chunze Supervisor, or the testing grounds of the Military Weapons Supervisor. He also bought a piece of land in the city to build a museum to display various ores and plant specimens.

With these things done, in the eyes of others, Li Buqi is a scholar who is completely interested in philosophy and natural history, has no intention of official career, and is harmless to humans and animals.

While Li Buqi was dormant, many things happened.First of all, after the strike in the Liao Kingdom, the emperor ordered the ministers to discuss the reform of the official system, and then began to implement the reform of the official system in the spring of the second year of that year.

After the reform of the official system was completed, the emperor suddenly ordered a joint inspection team composed of the Hebei Transshipment Envoy, Yushitai, and the Police Department to inspect the money and food stored in the counties and counties along the East and West Roads.As a result, in three or four days, the yamen and warehouses in more than a dozen counties and counties on the East and West Roads of Beijing caught fire and burned to the ground.No matter how stupid the emperor is, he can understand the tricks, and he strictly ordered the state and county officials who caught fire to be tracked down.Because of this matter, the emperor still had a legitimate reason to dismiss Wen Yanbo, who had been prime minister for several years, and threw him to a local office.

Now all the local officials in the world are terrified, they are all worried that the emperor will check his side someday, so they are much more careful in their actions.However, the emperor did not escalate the situation. After investigating the East and West Roads in Beijing and dispatching a group of officials, the emperor took the East and West Roads as an example and ordered his courtiers to discuss how to avoid the chaos of the East and West Roads in Beijing, and specified specific measures.

Others didn't think much of it, but people like Wen Yanbo and Pang Ji could sense that the emperor's investigation of the east and west roads in Beijing was not easy.Jingdong East Road is on the side of Hebei Road. Such an investigation has played a shocking role, especially the local officials in Hebei will never dare to blatantly lose money and food.And this incident seemed to be an introduction, which logically led to the emperor's next actions.

Apart from palace fighting and manipulating officials to play with the balance, when did the emperor have such scheming?This is not scientific!

But they didn't know that this was all the strategy Li Buqi had set for Zhao Zhen in Tianzhang Pavilion.Because of this, although Li Buqi resigned from office, he was often called by Zhao Zhen to the palace for consultation. Although he had no official position, he never left the power center for a moment.
