The big winner in life [Comprehensive]

Bao Zheng Jinshi and the first, was appointed Dawei Dali to judge affairs, and served as the county magistrate of Jianchang County. After the palace examination, the issue was on the officials.It's been an official year, and there is not even a concubine in the harem. Well, the ministers are not concerned about this, the key is the queen, which is related to the country.

After the courtiers hesitated for a while, they jointly signed up to play.After all, is there such a word as "the law does not blame the public", if you are unlucky, you will have a companion, cough.

The official family was unexpectedly easy to talk this time. At the court meeting the next day, the official family said slowly: "I have read the memorabilia of the Qing family, and I have to say that you care so much about me, which makes me feel so... creepy. "

Civil and military officials: "..."

The official's words haven't finished yet, "The horror is the horror, you really reminded me."

Civil and military officials have mentioned half of their hearts, and the officials often pant when they speak. They don't hear the officials say that he agrees to establish a queen, so it's hard to put their hearts back in their stomachs.But even if they were mentally prepared, they were still stunned by what the officials said next——

"It's been ten years, it's time to attack the Liao Kingdom."

Civil and military officials: "...!!" How on earth are these two things connected!And can we do something before we talk about such a major event?What's going on in another ten years?Ten years ago, oh, at that time the official family became the prince, how did it get involved with the Liao Kingdom?How come they don't know at all!

For a moment, all civil and military officials shouted in their hearts, "Shame comes from the heart", and the expressions on their faces were not well controlled, and they all looked so distorted.

Fortunately, the officials resolved their confusion: "Ten years ago, when I first became a crown prince, I knew my father's worries. I secretly vowed that I would surrender to the Liao Kingdom in ten years. Now is the time."

Civil and military officials: "..." So you say "secretly swear"?No wonder they don't know!

Wait, that's not the point, is it?The first emperor was worried about the Liao Kingdom, not the law.Speaking of this, we have to mention the "Chanyuan Alliance". In the first year of Jingde (1004 AD), the Liao Dynasty led the army to approach Chanzhou on the bank of the Yellow River, threatening the capital Bianliang. The "Chanyuan Alliance" was established. The Chanyuan Alliance ended the 25-year war between Song and Liao, and it was also the beginning of the Song Dynasty's Fanfang paying old coins in exchange for peace.This sounds not only not worth boasting, but also has to be scorned, but in fact, the expenditure of the annual coin is less than one percent of the cost of military use, which saved the Song Dynasty a huge amount of war expenses, and avoided excessive corvee and court wars caused by heavy troops all the year round. Tax pressure.In addition, the opening of trade on the Song-Liao border also enabled the Song Dynasty to earn back the old coins in the trade between the two countries.Therefore, not only did Zhenzong not feel ashamed about this matter, but he was also very proud of it, and he didn't worry that the Liao Kingdom would not be destroyed, and he would die with regret.

So officials, if we want to provoke a war between Song and Liao, and want to be famous as a teacher, we don't have to open our eyes and talk nonsense!

Wait, that's not the point, is it?The point is to go to war with Liao!

The civil and military officials realized that they had to persuade them, but as soon as they asked the officials to think twice, the officials blinked and asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Do you know the total number of war horses in the Liao Kingdom today? ?”

All the civil and military official words were choked in his throat, and he almost choked to death.

And the official who has the right to interrupt whoever he wants to interrupt sighs slightly, "I know you don't know, so I will ask myself and answer it." Later he said a number, civil and military officials Still at a loss, the official said another figure, which was more than double the previous figure, "This is the total number of war horses in the Liao Kingdom ten years ago, so guess where the difference in number of war horses went? "

The civil and military officials are thoughtful, the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom are very sturdy, because they are nomads themselves, and the Liao people are very unique in herding horses, which is why they can repeatedly invade the Central Plains and retreat completely The main reason.The Central Plains is not without warriors who can fight and dare to fight. It’s just that the Central Plains’ innate conditions on horseback can’t keep up, and it was ceded by Shi Jingtang, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, to the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures of Khitan at that time, making the territory of the Liao Kingdom The expansion along the Great Wall also caused the Central Plains to lose its strategically significant natural line of defense, and had to change its strategy against Liao from the previous active offense to passive defense.

But now the number of war horses in the Liao Kingdom has decreased by [-]% in just ten years. What is going on?Natural disaster?Man-made disaster?But they haven't heard of it?

When all the civil and military officials were thinking hard, the official said "Oh" in a long tone: "I just strengthened my tone, and I didn't mean to make you really guess."

Civil and military officials: "..."

"And I can tell you responsibly that most of them were exchanged by me with toffee. Yes, toffee." The official showed the toffee very vividly, and he grabbed one from his purse , shaking left and right, so that civil and military officials can see clearly, and then the officials peeled off the toffee wrapper and stuffed it in their mouths.

Civil and military officials: "...??" Officials, are you serious?Oh, it's not that the officials blatantly ate candy during the court meeting, but that five out of ten war horses in the Liao Kingdom were exchanged for toffee!This joke is not funny at all!Are Liao people mentally retarded?

In the gap when all the civil and military officials were shouting their faces in their hearts, the official had finished eating the candy, and said suddenly, "I was wrong."

Most of the civil and military officials think so: Sure enough, there is a problem!

They still haven't been trained well, because the officials are always so logical, and they like to use his divine logic to molest all the people who can be molested. Sure enough: "Zhen's toffee not only exchanged Liao people's war horses, but also exchanged Their gold, precious stones, spirits, cattle, sheep, what else, oh, the milk used to make toffee is purchased from them. Hey, thinking about it this way is really #起于民，用For the people#ah."

The muddy heads of civil and military officials finally started to function, and when the officials said this, they felt that they had caught something.Thinking back to when the Guan family liked to drink milk, it seemed to be the year when he became the prince.The official family has been so cute since I was a child, no matter what the ministers think, the wives in the family have turned their backs, so the official family has led Bianliang City since childhood, and even led the trend of the country after becoming an official family .Officials drink milk, and Bianliang City also drinks it, and later it spreads to the whole country. For this reason, various by-products are derived, such as toffee, and pastry shops study how to use milk to make more delicious pastries. , restaurants research how to apply milk to their cuisines, tea houses have researched milk tea, etc., don’t underestimate the wisdom of working people!

The relationship between supply and demand has also driven the businessmen's active minds. They saw the business opportunities, which immediately caused the price of Liao people's milk to soar, and the supply was in short supply.In this way, more Liao people will raise cows instead of horses. When the situation is reversed, businessmen will sell the new dairy products developed in the Central Plains back to Liao.Naturally, the price of the raw material (milk) cannot be compared with the price of the finished product, so it was exchanged for a steady stream of gold and gems, and later the items in the barter were replaced with war horses.

The Liao people probably thought so. Anyway, they have countless war horses in the Liao Kingdom, so what if they sell one to the Song Dynasty!In addition, the vanity of the Liao people also soared with the Chanyuan alliance, and they inevitably became arrogant.

If one Liao person thinks this way, then there will be a second one. Not to mention the accumulation of such things, the Liao people have been paralyzed and can't detect what's wrong.

In fact, it is not limited to this circulation mode of milk (Liao State)→Central Plains→dairy products (Liao State), and wool is similar. Merchants in the Central Plains buy wool from the Liao State, and then return to the Central Plains for processing, and process it into exquisite The decorations were sold back to the nobles of the Liao Kingdom at a high price.After ten years like this, the number of war horses in the Liao Kingdom has dropped by half. Not to mention, the gold and gems of the nobles have entered the pockets of the merchants in the Central Plains. Continuous jobs have greatly promoted economic exchanges and development.

Of course, the biggest winners are the officials. The cat clan network has advantages and disadvantages. At this time, the merchant network came into being.

Furthermore, the civil and military officials of the cat clan network would not think of it, but it does not prevent them from thinking of businessmen when they are brainstorming.At this time, they were almost thinking about the whole thing, and they really had mixed feelings for a while.

There is nothing more to say, the officials please accept the knees of the ministers.

Looking down at the stupid mortals on the nine imperial steps, the official tilted his head slightly and said, "So, do you have any objections to the fact that I want to conquer the Liao Kingdom by myself?"

All civil and military officials: "!!" When did you say you were going to conscript yourself?We don't bring such fun, officials!

Regarding the distorted expression of the civil and military officials again, the official's understanding is this: "I know, you don't want me, and I also don't want you, so I will take you with me when I go to the imperial conquest. You should be happy now." ?” The officials still had an expression of “I really can’t do anything about you”, all civil and military officials really knelt this time, take the knees of the officials and servants, don’t play like this, okay?Play once at least for a year!

However, this is of no use. What do the officials want your knees for? The officials don’t eat kneecaps. The officials like to drink milk. Don’t you know that?Furthermore, the officials have always spoken well, saying that he would bring the ministers to the imperial conquest, and he really did, but he didn't take all of them away, and left the eight virtuous kings and one minister waiting to guard in Bianliang town.

In the fifth year of Tiansheng (1027 A.D.), the official conquest by the royal family started the first war that made Fan Guo kneel down and sing the conquest.

This time: The battle between Song and Liao lasted for eight months, and finally ended with the victory of Song.

This war brought the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures ceded to the Liao Kingdom in the late Jin Dynasty back under the rule of the Central Plains. In addition, the Song and Liao countries re-enacted the agreement and treaty. It is very interesting that the new treaty was still signed in Chanzhou. The "Post-Chanyuan Alliance", but different from the old Chanyuan Alliance, this time the status of the Song and Liao countries is completely reversed, and it will be the turn of the Liao Kingdom to provide 5 yuan for "military assistance" to the Song Dynasty Two (this is a full 30 silver more than the 20 taels of silver that the Song Dynasty paid to Liao in previous years).

More importantly, during the eight months of war between Song and Liao, the Song Dynasty completely stopped foreign trade with Liao, causing the cattle and sheep raised by ordinary Liao people to "rot" in the pasture, not to mention completely dragging down the Liao Dynasty. The country's economy, but their losses are immeasurable, and it will take decades to recover, not to mention that the sixteen states of Youyun, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, have also been ceded away, and they have to pay the old coins, which is undoubtedly worse. Under the vicious circle, the Song Dynasty, which has a vast land and abundant resources and will not hurt its bones if it does not trade with Liao for eight months, chokes Liao's seven inches.

So far, the status of Song and Liao has completely reversed.

The official family, the Zhao family army - yes, in the past ten years, the official family has been really busy, and he has also trained an extremely heroic Zhao family army. The civil and military officials are already indifferent to this, and they don't want to know the official family at all. What exactly did they do--and the civil and military officials who followed His Majesty's expedition back to the court, crying and shouting, the eight wise kings led the courtiers who stayed behind out of the city to greet them, and the officials were stunned at first glance.

When the official family left, he was still a small boy, and when he came back... he was still a small boy, as if he had never been out, except that there was a gold mask on his face, covering his forehead and eyes, which was even more different. Yes, wearing the armor and matching with this mask, you can feel a sense of murderousness rushing towards your face. It's really not a nobleman, with an extraordinary aura, which makes people daunting!

Not only the Eight Sage Kings, but also the courtiers who stayed behind were in awe.

The next moment, the official's unique sense of intimacy rushed over, and the official's tone was still lazy: "Don't cry, eighth uncle, I am not disfigured, and I am still the most beautiful in Bianliang."

Eight Sage Kings: "..."

All civil and military officials: "..." That's right, this is their official family, and it's true.

The officials took off their masks, and changed their style again. It used to be a jade-faced Rakshasa, but now it has become a freehand and romantic young man in fresh clothes and angry horses.With a smile on his face, it seems that the world has changed color.

The eight virtuous kings and the civil and military officials couldn't help but burst into tears. It's great that the officials are not disfigured. Bah, of course not, but it should be a white horse with light fur and a flair. , they love (talk) to laugh as usual, but the pressure they bear is far beyond what they can imagine.With such an official family, they must die!

——It’s been said that Gu Qing has a special (automatically brain-filling) skill to increase his favorability value, which no one else can learn.

The officials claiming that Bianliang is the most beautiful is really not just talk, look at this time when the class teacher returns to the court, there are thousands of people in Bianliang city, and the streets are full of welcome.When Pan An went out to throw the fruit and the car was in front of the officials, it was #小字见大魔#. The strongest proof is that not only the people of Bianliang City were mobilized, but also the cats and grandchildren of Bianliang City were all together. Those who lie on the wall, those who climb trees climb trees, just to welcome the return of His Majesty Meow. As for the Bianliang girls and young women, they wish they could throw themselves out of the upstairs windows.

Also, the official smiled slightly, and the walls not far away were toppled down.

——The load-bearing capacity of the walls of other people's houses is also limited. It's no wonder that everyone climbs up so unreservedly.

——But then rumors were spread, everyone forgot that the wall was originally overwhelmed by the enthusiastic people in Bianliang, and they all said that the official family was overwhelmed by the country and the city ← the top of the wall was too unwritten, cough.

This incident has completely confirmed that the official family is as beautiful as a flower, and it is the title of the most beautiful in Bianliang and even the Song Dynasty, which then led to the weak crown of the official family, and then at the age of 24, they are still alone.

That's right, because the official family is so good-looking, there is no school-age girl who looks better than the official family.If such a girl of the right age cannot be found, the official family will not set up a queen and concubine, let alone a concubine.Because there are no concubines, so it is only natural for the officials to be 24 years old and still be alone, isn't it?

Well, I can't tell whether the incident was fortunate or unfortunate.

At that time, it was the first year of Jingyou (1034 A.D.), and Bao Zheng was promoted to the official governor of Kaifeng. This promotion speed is really rare.The ministers who knew the allusion of "fortunately the name is good" at that time wondered, is this really the reason?But thinking about the usual actions of officials, it is not impossible.No, how can the official family be so superficial, and looking at Bao Zheng's resume and political achievements, he is indeed a man with deep gaps in his chest.

When Bao Zheng met with the official family, he recommended a young talent with both civil and military skills to the official family. This man was named Zhan Zhao. His prestige is honored as "Southern Xia" by people in the Jianghu.

"Zhan Zhao? I know him." The official said slowly and comfortably, propping his forehead, "I not only know him, but also had a chance encounter with him, which left a deep impression on me. Oh, speaking of which, he thought I was The woman is disguised as a man, so I won’t be able to make it difficult for me.”

Bao Zheng: "..."

——Officials, what did you do during the "two days" in #三天打鱼，两天浪网# on the court?
