Chapter 423: After the War

Han Qi and Fu Bi led hundreds of officials and were reading the memorials of Xue Xiang, Cai Ting, Su You, Zhong Ji and Zhong E to Zhao Shu when they heard bursts of cheers and continuous sound of firecrackers coming from outside the palace.

The royal family of the Song Dynasty was close to the people, and there were private houses close to each other outside the palace wall. Back then, Renzong wanted to expand the wall, but it was not possible unless the households moved.

Many government offices were surrounded by shops on the left and right sides, so the hustle and bustle outside the palace quickly spread into the palace.

Han Qi frowned: "What's going on?"

Soon the governor of Kaifeng came to report: "Your Majesty, Chief Assistant, the people of Bianjing heard about Weizhou's great victory. They were so happy that they gathered outside the palace gate and shouted!"

Han Qi was furious: "It's a tabloid again! These businessmen are really pervasive. It's really annoying for subordinate officials to see money and see money!"

Fu Bi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, according to the report from Shaanxi, the border ministers on both sides in this battle annihilated a total of 40,000 elite Xixia troops, captured nearly 20,000, and harvested the entire army's baggage and war horses! It's no wonder that the people were so happy.

This is a rare victory in my twenty years of working toward the west!"

"I don't think it's better to copy the excerpts from the General's newspaper and paste them outside the palace wall to increase the prestige of the Song Dynasty and let the people have a happy New Year!"

After all, Han Qi is a veteran minister and is more prudent: "This report has just arrived. Is it true..."

Fu Bi was so happy that he didn't even care about his words: "Where's my prime minister! Even if the report is false, are Lord Xia's golden drums, flagpoles, books and seals all fake? Su Mingrun, this is the general

The Chinese army camp has been taken care of!"

Zhao Shu's mahjong face, which had not changed for thousands of years, finally showed a rare smile: "What the Privy Council said is reasonable, so let's do it accordingly. Where is the imperial decree? Copy the memorial and post it outside the palace wall to congratulate the people.

! Send another copy to Cishou Palace to make the Queen Mother happy."

Zhao Xu came out and said: "It's no use to my father, I will go and tell the empress in person!"

…

After the war, I was very busy.

With Su You and Zhong Xie's virtues, and not taking advantage of them, he is a bastard. In Su You's words, I have been a weakling for a year, and now I can't stretch my legs?!

So as soon as we stretched it, we reached Shimen Gorge. You are too picky about the big things. What the hell is Lingping Village? The layout is too small! Let’s build a city! Let’s call it Pingxia City!

Then there is the transportation. Su You's plan is to build a road connecting the five villages and one city. All five villages will be built in the pattern of Dun'an Village and formed into a fortress layout surrounded by trenches to deter the Xia people's Baotai Military Division and Jingsai.

Military Division.

Li Ruoyu picked up a huge bargain and attacked the Xixia Central Army! He won the Xia Lord's banner, golden drum, wolf, and armored soldiers!

Su You is not afraid of people sharing the credit. He is eager for someone to help him with things. Lao Li, aren't you stationed with soldiers and horses to take charge of the affairs of the Tibetan tribe? That's just right. There are fifty-four tribes in the two rivers and Sichuan. Go and do the statistics.

With the help of the household registration and combat power, we helped them restore the salt ponds, taught them how to grow grass, raise cattle and sheep in sheds, and yes, they also castrated and fattened them!

Li Ruoyu went there with a big fat black face, fuck your mother! Make your mother fat!

However, when he arrived at the Ministry of Finance, he immediately understood that Su You had not molested him, and that the work team had been waiting here for a long time.

They knew that Li Ruoyu was sent by Yixi Weishe to help them, and he was also a representative of the official family of the Song Dynasty. The Tibetan people called him affectionate, not counting milk tea and highland barley wine. They even stuffed women into his tent at night, saying that he was borrowing his noble blood.

Amidst the alternating torture of embarrassment and happiness, Li Ruoyu's results soon came out. Jingyuan Road was fortified by Fan people, with 32 castles, 32,000 strong men, and more than 1,500 strong horses.

One hundred and ten armor, more than five hundred teams;

According to the size of each tribe, it is divided into several parts, and flags are issued to each tribe, so that they can repair their own castles.

At the same time, the rewards for this battle and the weapons captured this time were also distributed.

The Tibetan people expressed that they were always ready to accept the dispatch of the Song Dynasty government. If they use me in the first battle, they will win. If such a good thing happens in the future, they must not be forgotten.

The work team helped the Tibetan people build water trucks and dry their fields in salt springs; helped Tibetan elders and children get medical examinations and medical treatment, and distributed patent medicines; and helped Tibetan people build livestock sheds.

Soviet Union's promise to them before the war was fulfilled to the letter.

The news of Weizhou's great victory was quickly brought to the land of Jianghan by Dong Fei, who was loaded with fur goods, blankets, and woolen materials. Jingyue merchants heard the news and moved a large amount of materials up the Han River through the Han River. The Yudao Waterway had declined since the Tang Dynasty.

, began to flourish again.

Taking advantage of the heavy snowfall in winter, Suyou organized Sitong Trading Company to modify a batch of sled carts and hauled a large amount of beef and mutton to Jingzhao Mansion, making a huge profit.

This time, the level of the horses obtained by Langdu Racecourse has been greatly improved. Chidilongshan was very happy. All the horses under four feet and six inches were culled. Some were used for farming in the spring, and some were sold to various armies to raise funds.

Military awards.

What's left is the stallion for spring.

Zhaoyebai, Saluzi, Qiliancong, Wuyunlie, fist hair red, chestnut yellow, these horses with shoulders over five feet tall will form their own breed at Langdu Racecourse.

The folk customs in Weizhou began to change, and the 10,000 local warriors who participated in the war received special battle commemorative medals.

There are no extra benefits for medal recipients. In the future, when the work team goes to the countryside, they will come to him first; if there are many matters related to collecting grain and materials, they will be entrusted to him to organize; they can take the work team's carriage into the city; everything controlled by the Sitong Chamber of Commerce

Industry, enjoy VIP treatment and no need to queue.

The most important thing is that the holders of the commemorative medals can directly seek an audience with Su You, and no state or county officials or county magistrates can obstruct him!

On the surface, this was Su You's gratitude to the Weizhou volunteers for rescuing them. In fact, secretly, this was the first time that Su You allowed the Song Dynasty regime to move to the countryside.

Weizhou is very special. The void left by the powerful local gentry will be filled by these ten thousand people. In this way, Su You has transformed Weizhou into his own iron plate. His will can reach every village!

This was a good thing that every magistrate in the Song Dynasty would never dare to dream of. They could only compromise with the local powerful people and pull their strings, and the bonds would always be greater than the help.

Soldiers began to have a sense of honor and belonging, and the glory of Han and Tang Dynasty soldiers began to sprout again in the Weizhou volunteers.

In Suyou's plan, Weizhou, Jingzhou, Fengxiang, and Jingzhaofu Shangzhou will form a Jingwei economic belt, including Weizhou's agriculture and animal husbandry processing industry, Jingzhou's transportation industry, Fengxiang's agriculture and bamboo processing industry

Industry and the military manufacturing industry in Shangzhou will form a linkage area.

At the same time, it must also radiate to Deshun Army, Zhenrong Army, Yuanzhou, and Huanqing, and establish a complete national defense system against Xixia.

The most important one is the operation of Shu banknotes, which can gather scattered funds to do big things and speed up the economic circulation.

With the accelerator of finance, the development of Northwest China will be greater than that of three or four years in one year.

But there is no need to rush now. His power is far from enough to accomplish such a big thing. I don’t know if the reward from this battle can meet the needs of his deployment ability.

The most important thing now is to suggest to Xue Xiang and Cai Ting that they hold a joint drill between the Tibetan, Yi, and Han armies in the spring to show off their strength on the border, so that the Xixia people, who had just suffered a major defeat and experienced another severe winter, would be exhausted.

further seriously affecting their production.
