While integrating the military and political affairs, Zhao Jingyan finally liquidated the Jiaozhi treasury. The Jiaozhi treasury is mainly composed of gold and silver, especially gold, and copper is relatively small. Converted to Song coins, it is about 10 million.
Through.
In fact, Jiaozhi is not as rich as Dali, but in Dali's case, because Gao Mingshun was in a hurry at that time, it was impossible to really empty out the treasury. He only picked out valuable things and took them. Moreover, Jiaozhi is a highly centralized system, and all the money gained from exploitation will be returned to him.
It belongs to the treasury, and in Dali, not to mention the imperial power, even the power of the Gao family is not so concentrated. At least the thirty-seven ministries have to share part of it, so in terms of the treasury alone, Dali is not as good as Jiaozhi.
Taken together, the two sides amount to more than 20 million yuan.
Li Qi had no intention of abandoning his original promise, and decided that the court would take back 7 million guan, use 5 million guan to cover military expenses, and use another 1 million guan to reward the three armies, leaving 10 million guan here to develop agriculture and economy.
All in all, everyone is happy.

Bianliang.
"Report---!"
I saw a sentinel detective galloping on the Royal Street, attracting many people's attention, but the people all knew that this must be a battle report from the south. If it was from the north, how could it be possible to go through the Royal Street.
Inside the palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great victory in Cochin, great victory in Cochin!"
Qin Hui took a letter and hurried into Zhao Kai's study. His expression was so excited that he forgot even the most basic etiquette.
Zhao Kai, who was reviewing the memorial inside, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard about the great victory in Jiaozhi. He didn't care about Qin Hui's rudeness. He stood up and stepped forward, asking anxiously: "Is there a letter from Li Qi?"
"Exactly, exactly."
Qin Hui nodded and quickly handed over the letter in his hand.
Zhao Kai took the letter and hurriedly opened it and read it. Not only did it contain a letter written by Li Qi. Although the handwriting was still terrible, Zhao Kai felt that it was more comfortable to read than Wang Xizhi's handwriting. There were also two letters.
It is the letter of surrender from the Jiaozhi royal family and Duan Zhengyan.
After learning that Li Qi's battle not only recaptured Jiaozhi, but also annexed Dali, it could be said that he had completed the task perfectly. Zhao Kai was overjoyed and laughed loudly: "I knew it, I knew it, Li Qi would definitely not
It disappoints me. Good! Good! Good!”
He excitedly clenched his fist and waved it several times, and said three good words in succession. As he spoke, tears were already welling up in his eyes.
At this moment, he could not calm down. After a hundred years, Jiaozhi was finally recovered, and Dali was also annexed by the way. With these two achievements, Zhao Kai was enough to look down on his ancestors. You must know that his ancestors except Tai
Except for his ancestors, the other emperors have always lived in seeking peace. In terms of opening up and expanding the territory, there is nothing that can be done. Taizong's two Northern Expeditions failed. Counting it all, Song Huizong is the only one who can speak out.
In a word, Emperor Song, after all, when he was on the throne, he not only recovered the land of Hehuang and contained Xixia. He also recovered Yanzhou. Although it was bought back, it was still a few empty cities. But it was still an important military area.
Zhao Kai's excited mind went blank. He walked back and forth in the room, sometimes applauding, sometimes snickering, and sometimes proudly.
Qin Hui looked on without saying a word, because he understood Zhao Kai's mood. You must know that Zhao Kai used unconventional means to get into this position. This was a taboo in ancient times. Zhao Kai has endured more since he came to the throne.
pressure, because once you make any mistake, the people will definitely come out and make irresponsible remarks. You are not the right emperor at all. You insist on occupying the throne, and the result is that the country is in a mess. But often such emperors can achieve very good results.
Good results, like those of Li Shimin and Ming Chengzu, are because they are more cautious than ordinary emperors and hope to prove themselves. This is traceable and is not just a coincidence.
Success and hard work are inseparable.
This great achievement came at the right time for Zhao Kai. No wonder he was so excited.
After a while, Qin Hui saw that Zhao Kai was still enjoying himself, but his joyful mood had calmed down, so he reminded him: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council is still waiting for the Emperor's decree."
"Yeah!"
Zhao Kai patted his forehead and said hehe: "I was so happy that I forgot all about the business, so I will do as Li Qi said in the letter and let the Hanlin Academy draft the edict overnight. I will send it to Shenglong tomorrow.
Mansion."
"I obey my orders."
Zhao Kai added: "Oh, also, let the Economic Envoy immediately select some officials from the Commerce Bureau and transfer them to Jiaozhi County and Dali County to take office. Also, order the Commerce Bureau to mobilize businessmen to go south. We must penetrate the south as soon as possible, otherwise
If so, I am worried that there will be a resurgence."
Qin Hui frowned slightly and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Economic Envoy is still under investigation. How about letting the Third Envoy make arrangements in advance?"
Zhao Kai was stunned at first and said: "Yes, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me, but it has been some time since I checked, and there is no evidence that can directly prove that it is related to the economic envoy. Since there is no evidence, then the economic envoy is innocent for the time being.
Yes, this matter has always been managed by the Commerce Bureau, and it is of great importance. I don’t want any mistakes to occur. We still have to focus on the overall situation, so I will put that matter aside for now, and you can go and make arrangements."
A flash of regret flashed in Qin Hui's eyes, and he sighed secretly. As long as this woman has a powerful husband, she is the greatest luck! He lowered his head and saluted, "Wei Chen will do it now, Wei Chen will retire."
Tonight is destined to be a very busy day in the Hanlin Academy, because this problem cannot be solved by an imperial edict. It must have at least two figures. Moreover, this is the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty that other countries and those universities have been wiped out.
Scholars have not yet drafted such an imperial edict, and the wording must be carefully considered.
Everyone in the Hanlin Academy devoted themselves to it, working overtime and busy all night, and finally wrote out twelve imperial edicts. Zhao Kai carefully read each edict before taking the jade seal and covering it up.
, immediately ordered someone to rush six hundred miles to Shenglong Mansion.
At the same time, Zhao Kai announced the news to the world. In response to Li Qi, he issued an amnesty to the world again. Less than two years after he took the throne, he had already given amnesty twice. However, his amnesty this time was different from the previous ones. Although those prisoners were exempted
The crime was committed, but all had to be transported to the south. This would not only speed up the revitalization of Jiaozhi and Dali, but also allow the people of the Song Dynasty to penetrate into the Jiaozhi and Dali areas.
Everyone celebrates.
After the people of Bianliang learned the news, they celebrated wildly. The officials finally found a reason for the rebellion. Major restaurants also launched discount slogans. On that day, the consumption in Bianliang hit another peak.
With this battle, Zhao Kai also won the unanimous recognition of the people of the Song Dynasty.
And, this is just the beginning.
...
...
Thang Long Palace.
When the imperial edict arrived yesterday, Li Qi deserved the reward and the title he deserved. In fact, he had already made arrangements before, but Zhao Kai's edict was not there, and if the name was not correct, the words would not go smoothly. Now he has finally solved this wish.
So that everyone can work with peace of mind.
Duan Zhengyan waited until the imperial edict came and immediately returned to Dali. Now that Li Qi is still here, there is no need for him to worry about Jiaozhi. He is rushing back now. First, he has to give an explanation to the people of Dali, and then he must implement the enactment
Policy implementation.
Li Qi also allocated five million yuan to him.
After two months of busy work, Li Qi could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He never did anything himself. He just formulated the general policies, and of course left the rest to the people below him.
"The sky is blue waiting for smoke and rain, and I am waiting for you, and the smoke is rising..."
Li Qi sang a song and walked towards the outside of the palace. Today he planned to go on patrol incognito. Of course, this is a professional term. In fact, he just wanted to go outside and have a look. He has been very busy these days and his head seems to be full of pulp.
Huh, he must release those things, and going outside to see the scenery is undoubtedly the best choice.
Is the right combination of work and rest right?
But Ma Qiao, who was following him, kept shaking his head and sighing. It seemed difficult to raise his head and look directly at Li Qi's back.
"Eh? Isn't this the Privy Councilor?"
Just when they came to a round arch door, two people suddenly walked in from outside. It was Niu Gao and Yue Fei, but they both looked at Li Qi in surprise.
I saw Li Qi wearing a white short-sleeved upper body, a pair of black shorts on the lower body, and a pair of wooden shoes on his feet. What is even more eye-catching is that the short-sleeved shirt has four words embroidered with gold thread, Golden Knife Chef King
, the font is very elegant, obviously the thin gold body of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and there is a big cattail leaf fan in his hand.
This set of equipment is quite impressive!
No wonder Ma Qiao couldn't bear to look directly at it.
Li Qi rolled his eyes at Niu Gao and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not the Privy Councilor, are you?"
A grunt.
Niu Gao made a muffled sound in his throat, suppressing a smile and said: "Privy Councilor, you---why are you dressed like this?"
Li Qi fanned himself and said, "Of course it's hot. This damn weather is almost killing me. If I'm still like you, I'll have to suffer from heat stroke."
It's summer now, and the summer in Jiaozhi is very hot and humid. Li Qi really can't stand it anymore and wants to burn all those long gowns.
"Yes, yes, the weather in Jiaozhi is really torturous." After hearing what he said, Niu Gao wiped his hands with sweat and felt envious. He also wanted to dress like this, but unfortunately he didn't have Li Qi's shame.
Li Qi was in a hurry to go out and had no time to chat with them, so he said: "What are you looking for me for?"
Yue Fei hurriedly said: "I have informed the Privy Envoy that all the tribal forces in the east of Shenglong Mansion have surrendered."
"Okay, okay, okay, I understand. Is there anything else?" Li Qi nodded casually. Now that the overall situation has been decided, the remaining local forces are simply vulnerable. He is not even in the mood to praise them.
Niu Gao suddenly came over.
Li Qi immediately stepped away and warned: "Stay away from me and ventilate."
"oh."
Niu Gao quickly took back his steps and said with a smile: "Privy Envoy, please forgive me for saying something treasonous. There is something you did that was not very kind."
Li Qi asked in astonishment: "What's the matter?"
Niu Gao said: "Didn't you grant the title of General to the West of Wu Jie Town? Then - what about us?"
Li Qidao: "Did you lose your mind? I didn't reward you!"
"The reward is a reward, but it's all empty duty for us,"
"You are the Marshal of the Horse now. How can I promote you if you want me to do so? Otherwise, I will give up my position as Privy Councilor to you."
"No, no, no, no, I don't dare." Niu Gao scratched his head and said, "What I mean is that Wu Jie, the general of Zhenxi, has something to do, but we have nothing to do now. The Privy Council asked you
Isn’t this arrangement a bit biased, Wu Jie?”
Yue Fei didn't say anything. He also felt a little unhappy. Of course he wanted to make contributions, but Tubo had such a good opportunity, but they didn't have a share.
Li Qidao: "You have nothing to do? Didn't I ask you to fight the bandits?"
Niu Gao said with excitement on his face: "As for those little robbers, we still need to take action. There is no use in killing chickens with a bull's knife. Just let that boy Zaixing and Wang Gui go."
Li Qi asked: "Then what do you want to do?"
Niu Gao said hehe: "Privy Envoy, you see that the land in Tubo is very big. Wu Jie seems a bit weak on his own. Why don't you arrange for us to go there too."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "After all, you still want to sit in my seat as Privy Councilor."
"Privy Envoy Mingjian, I have no such intention."
"I don't mean that. What are you talking about here? When the Privy Council is run by your family, you can go wherever you want. It's really unreasonable." Li Qi's tone suddenly changed and he scolded.
Niu Gao immediately withered and said, "I'm just asking casually. The Privy Council asked you not to be angry. If it doesn't work, just don't do it. I don't care."
Li Qi glared at this guy, then looked at Yue Fei, stretched out his hand and said, "Let's talk while walking, I'm in a hurry." (To be continued...)
