Kou Ji didn't worry at all about whether this battle would be defeated.
As long as the soldiers and horses sent by the court, taking advantage of the battle between the Liao and Xixia people, wait for an opportunity to invade the territory of Xixia, it is easy to bite two pieces of meat from Xixia.
Xixia is not big and has limited military strength.
Liao emperor Yelu Longxu led half a million elite troops from the Liao Kingdom to attack Xixia. Xixia wanted to protect itself in this war. In addition to relying on the advantages of occupying the northwestern geography for many years, it also needed at least 300,000 troops to defend against Liao military.
With 300,000 troops, almost 70% of Xixia's troops were emptied, and the remaining 30% were not very powerful.
The Datong Army and the Yongxing Army have guarded the border for many years. They are the first-class army in the imperial court that can conquer and fight well. I feel that the German army is not weak under Li Zhaoliang's military force.
Coupled with the help of the Zhe family and the kind family, it is easy to win against those defenders who are not strong in Xixia.
When the Xixia people fought with the Liao people, they freed their hands to fight against the court.
The imperial court had already turned the occupied area into a copper wall and an iron wall.
At that time, Xixia people can only recognize the plant.
If it was because of the intervention of the Song Dynasty that the Xixia people were defeated by the Liao people, then the Song Dynasty could even share the Xixia with the Liao people.
By that time, the territory obtained will become more.
"Our grandparents planned for a long time, but Liu E took the lead."
Kou Ji sighed and said helplessly.
Kou Zhun looked at the greedy Kou Ji, rolled his eyes and said: "Boy, you are only sixteen and have a fifth-grade official rank. What do you want? Do you want to take the opportunity to gain some military exploits and go up one more level?"
Kou Jigan laughed and said, "Who would dismiss the official position? The 12-year-old Gan Luo official pays homage to Shangqing. I am a 16-year-old official with a fifth grade, and that’s nothing."
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji up and down, and said disdainfully: "Just you, are you embarrassed to be Bigan Luo?"
Hearing this, Kou Ji drooped his handsome face and said with a black face: "Why can't I compare to Gan Luo? Gan Luo's twelve-year-old official paid homage to Shangqing, but he spent time planning before his official worshipped him.
And me? In less than a year, from a white body to a fifth-rank official body, why can't it be compared to him? "
"Pooh!"
Kou Zhun was disgusted by Kou Ji's shame, and sipped in front of him.
Kou Ji took two steps back with a look of disgust.
Kou Zhun stared straight.
The grandfather and grandson seem to be bickering, seemingly stubborn at each other.
In fact, this is a way for their grandparents to exchange feelings.
Liu E is now one step ahead and dispatched troops. Kou Zhun and Kou Ji have no military power in their hands and cannot intervene. They cannot divide the credit and can only sit and wait for the results.
So on the topic of dispatching troops, they will continue to talk in vain.
The grandfather and grandson fought for a while.
Kou Ji grinned and said: "Grandfather, in the next few months, you will probably have to wipe Liu E's ass. Liu E sent troops without any discussion in the inner court, and was impeached by a hundred officials.
Nowadays, there is a food shortage in Huainan and other places, and the people's hearts are unstable.
If this matter spreads out, it will inevitably take some time to calm people's hearts. "
Kou Zhun's face blushed and he blew his beard angrily and said: "Wipe and wipe. As long as you can bite a piece of meat from Xixia, the old man will wipe it willingly."
Kou Ji heard the words and said with a look of admiration: "What I admire most is your grandfather's distinguished conduct between public and private."
Kou Zhun coldly snorted: "Do you think that by flattering the old man, you can make the old man forget your crimes against the old man? This is at home. If you are in the court, you dare to confront the old man so much. To pay."
Kou Ji clicked his mouth and said, "I don't lack that little money..."
Kou Zhun stared, and reprimanded: "The old man knows that you made some money in business, but that was earned in business, not when you were an official. If you are an official, you have to get salary, not salary, who do you count as an official? "
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "Grandson knows it's wrong."
Kou Zhun snorted and said, "When the old man was leaving the palace today, he ran into the third secretary's deputy. He told the old man that you had never gone to the third division to receive your salary. You will go to the third division to receive your salary in a while.
After today, Sansi will close the account. "
Kou Ji was taken aback, wondering: "Isn't my salary confiscated?"
Kou Zhun said with contempt when he heard the words, "Even if you are fined, you will only catch one position, but not all of them. There are not a few people who are fined by the court every year. If they are all fined, then they Shouldn't you starve to death?"
Kou Ji asked unexpectedly: "There is still this saying?"
Kou Zhun hummed: "Look at the Taizu system more when you have time. This is the rule set by Taizu."
Kou Ji clicked his mouth and sighed in his heart.
The two brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi really spent enough money in order to win over civil servants.
"I'll go to Sansi to receive salary..."
Kou Ji said, and walked out.
Kou Zhun shouted at Kou Ji's back: "The old man asked you to go today, but didn't let you go now. Why are you in a hurry?"
Kou Jilang said: "I'm afraid that I will be late, and those guys will greet my salary."
Kou Zhun laughed angrily when he heard this, and pointed at Kou Ji's back and said with a smile: "With the status of the old man today, others will pay you a salary. I can't wait for you to count as much as possible. Who dares to embezzle you? Salary."
Kou Ji didn't hear Kou Zhun's words because he had already left the yard.
He was anxious to get his salary.
As the saying goes, it is not positive to receive money, and there is a problem with the brain.
No one will dislike the fact that he can't spend too much money.
Although the salary issued by the court to Kou Ji is not as much as the money earned by the Vientiane Pawnshop in the past six months.
But the money earned by the Vientiane Pawn Shop was not enough to make Kou Ji ignore his salary.
…
In fact, Sansi has a door-to-door service of paying salaries. Like Kou Zhun’s salaries, Sansi’s people personally send it to the door every season.
After all, Kou Zhun’s salary is so much. When the court pays out his salary, it also distributes copper coins and food. With Kou Zhun’s body, it is impossible to carry it back by himself.
The reason why the people from Sansi had to let Kou Ji go to Sansi was the main problem was that Kou Ji's situation was somewhat special.
What a special law
Promoted too quickly.
Kou Ji only spent more than half a year climbing a blue cloud ladder that others would not be able to climb in a lifetime.
So whenever the three divisions accounted for salary, Kou Ji was promoted.
The people from the injured Sansi have to recalculate for him.
Of course, people from Sansi can also send him the salary according to his rank before being promoted.
But the people from Sanji didn't do that.
They always use Kou Ji's rank and official position after being promoted to help Kou Ji calculate his salary.
They also did this to forge a good relationship with Kou Mansion.
In order to avoid Liu E's downfall, Kou Zhun will liquidate them together.
Kou Ji arrived at the Sansi Yamen, accompanied the Sansi deputy envoy, and calculated his salary together.
I don't know if I don't calculate, Kou Ji jumped by surprise.
Kou Ji held two positions. When the third division gave him a salary calculation, the fine was calculated on his low-level official position, and the salary was paid according to his highest official position.
Zhengshou has thirty-five pennies a month, but this is only a small part.
The rest of the miscellaneous items, such as clothing, lu millet, tea, wine and cooking materials, firewood, salt, clothing and food, horses and millet, additional support, job money, minister money, etc., are counted as subsidies, and there are seventy coins per month. .
Calculating Kou Ji's salary for a month is about one hundred and five.
Kou Ji was an official awarded by Zhao Heng at the end of April. Sansi gave him a full moon in April. In total, he has 945 salaries this year.
With the addition of the year-end bonus, Kou Ji's salary exceeded 1,000.
Kou Ji didn't expect that Song Dynasty actually had a year-end award.
Since part of the salary is silk, cloth, brocade, and rice grains, in order to facilitate Kou Ji to carry, Sansiquan gave him a silver sentence.
Kou Ji put fifty-one shining silver sentence into a cloth bag sent by Sansi, and walked to the house with his back on his back.
These fifty-one gleaming silver judgments were bought by him after he had been busy with the court for more than half a year.
Kou Ji returned to the mansion with the silver sentence on his back, and threw it to the craftsmen in the mansion to make them into a silver leaf.
Then he nestled in his yard, waiting for the New Year's Day.
however.
It's New Year's Eve.
He can't sit down anymore.
Early in the morning, Aunt Qiao brought a few maids to his room, shook him up from the ***, and then helped him put on new clothes, put on new shoes, wrap jade belts, and put golden crowns on him.
If it wasn't for Kou Ji's persistent refusal, Aunt Qiao would still like to give him some powder and bring him a plum blossom.
After getting dressed neatly, Aunt Qiao led Kou Ji to the main hall of the mansion.
After arriving at the main hall, Kou Zhun and Kou Li had put on new clothes and sat inside.
There was a box in front of each of them, and the box was full of golden and silver leaves.
After Kou Ji arrived, he glanced at the box in their hands and smiled: "Today, our three grandparents are sitting here?"
Kou Zhun said slowly: "There are many people in the mansion. Some people see us every day, but some people never see us once or twice a year. We have to sit here, let them see, recognize people, and avoid time. When it grows up, they don’t even know the old and young men in the house."
The servants of the Kou Mansion had already sent home a batch of them a few years ago.
But there are still more people staying in the Kou Mansion.
They either signed a long-term contract with Kou Mansion, or rewarded it from the palace.
Life is a member of Kou Mansion, and death is a ghost of Kou Mansion.
If Kou Mansion doesn't fall, they will always have to stay in Kou Mansion.
Although the imperial court clearly stipulates that it is not allowed to sign a contract for sale, it still cannot prevent such things from happening.
There are policies and measures to counter.
If you are not allowed to sign a deed of sale, the same goes for signing a 50-year long contract or a one-hundred-year long contract.
It's no different from selling yourself.
Therefore, most of the servants and maids who are still staying in the house are homeless or people who have no way of returning home.
The three generations of Kou's grandparents sat in the main hall and let them see, not so much to let them recognize people, but to give them peace of mind.
They are a group of homeless people who cannot return home, and their souls need a place to sustenance.
This place is Kou Mansion.
The three generations of Kou's ancestors and grandchildren represented the Kou Mansion.
As long as they see that the three generations of Kou's grandparents are in good health, disease-free and disaster-free, they don't need to worry about eating and drinking in the future.
There is no need to worry about the soul's need to change a place for sustenance.
They will regard Kou's residence as their family, and the three generations of Kou's grandparents as their families.
Kou Ji didn't understand this, nor had he experienced it, so he was very ignorant in this regard, and was also at a loss for Kou Zhun and Kou Li's approach.
But he still accompanied Kou Zhun and Kou Li, sitting in the main hall for a day.
When night falls.
The servants lit a bunch of firecrackers at the gate, front yard, middle yard, and back yard.
With the sound of firecrackers in Bianjing, everyone knew that the New Year was approaching.
The reason why firecrackers can be set off in Bianjing is because in ancient times, the function of firecrackers was not to celebrate, but to drive away evil spirits.
Therefore, setting off firecrackers does not conflict with Zhao Heng's great funeral.
Kou Zhun was sitting on the first seat of the main hall just like Zhao Zhen sitting on Jinluan.
The servants, maids, and guards of the mansion, like the civil and military officials who met in the court, slowly entered the main hall.
They all saluted Kou Zhun, "I have seen the master, and wish the master a happy life and health in the new year."
Kou Zhun nodded slowly, "Reward!"
Kou Zhong held the box in front of Kou Zhun, walked in front of the servants, maids, and guards, and began to pay the rewards.
When everyone received the reward, they all saluted Coli together, "I have seen the young master, I wish the young master will rise up in the new year."
Kou Li smiled happily and said, "Look at it!"
He felt that at this moment, he was like a real master of Xiangmen.
So he was very happy.
After Cole’s rewards were distributed.
They also saluted Kou Ji together, "I have seen the young master, I wish the young master will rise up in the new year."
Kou Ji looked at the empty desktop in front of him, and really didn't know if he wanted to shout a word of appreciation.
No one notified him, and he didn't prepare in advance.
When he was in a dilemma, Kou Zhong walked up to him holding a plate.
Kou Ji glanced, a plate of pearls.
This thing is in ancient times, but it is a very valuable thing.
"reward!"
Looking at the pearls on the plate in front of him, Kou Ji shouted grandiosely.
When the servants, maids, and guards saw Pearl, their eyes lit up.
They have been members of the Kou Mansion for their entire lives, so they don't need to share the money with others.
On weekdays, when leaving the house in their leisure time, the maids can take the money and add some rouge gouache, and the servants can sneak to the land of the fireworks willow alley.
In short, money is very important to them.
After the reward.
Kou Zhong ordered the kitchen in the mansion to serve food and drinks, and everyone began to have a New Year's Eve dinner together.
Although it’s a bit early to eat New Year’s Eve dinner now, there is no alternative.
Because of Kou Zhun and Kou Ji, it is impossible to stay in the house tonight.
As usual, their grandparents and grandchildren will enter the palace tonight to accompany the official family.
Kou Zhun simply took two bites, and was about to go back to the room to change his official clothes. Seeing Kou Ji still staring at a braised bear's paw on the table, his old face went black.
"Go and change clothes!"
It is also a kind of grace to be able to enter the palace to accompany the official's New Year.
Not all officials are eligible to enter the palace to accompany the official's New Year.
The official uniform on his body must be red or above to be eligible.
