Kou Ji thought hard for three days, came up with more than 30 names for his son, and then wrote them into a letter, ready to send someone back for Xiang Yan to choose.
After the letter was written, Kou Ji put it into the envelope and put it with fire lacquer, and ordered the Imperial City Secretary who was guarding outside the temple to send the letter back.
After taking the letter from the official, he sealed it into the letter box, and when he stepped away, he seemed to remember something, and turned around to remind Kou Ji.
"Public officials, the official document of rewards from the court to the meritorious soldiers in the victory over Sichuan has been sent to your case."
Hearing this, Kou Ji suddenly realized.
He has been busy naming his son in recent days, but forgot to do business.
All the official documents of the court intercepted by Li Di have been sent to him, and he seems to have never read a volume.
Kou Ji casually dealt with a pro-submissive sentence, picked up the official document on the case, and looked through it casually.
Kou Ji was very satisfied when he saw that the imperial court gave rewards to the soldiers who won the battle in Sichuan.
Kou Ji was more satisfied with the fact that the imperial court refused to mention the distribution of the spoils captured in the victory over Sichuan.
He was worried about the imperial court picking peaches, but he made two-handed preparations, for fear that the imperial court would pick peaches too harshly and would be at a loss to his soldiers.
But the court did not mention the issue of the distribution of the spoils of the victory over Sichuan at all.
"I'm the one who saves the gentleman's belly with a villain's heart?"
Kou Ji murmured suspiciously.
As soon as this remark came out, less than three breaths, Kou Ji ridiculed himself: "There is a fart gentleman in the court... The court never mentions the issue of the distribution of spoils, and 80% of the efforts are made by the officials. Only the officials, Only by suppressing those hypocrites in the court."
Kou Ji made a simple guess, and then guessed the joints in it.
Kou Ji continued to look down at the official document with the thoughts of officials still facing him. After seeing the second half, he was not calm.
Kou Ji slapped the document and shouted like thunder.
"You are a fool, you really grabbed the naming right of Lao Tzu's son!"
"Lao Tzu knows! Lao Tzu knows that when Lao Tzu's son was born, you would definitely not be free!"
"Give me a gift from God, a gift from God?! That is obviously a gift from Lao Tzu, okay?"
"I've been thinking about sleeping and forgetting food for three days! I have been thinking about it for three days! No use of one!"
"..."
Kou Ji yelled in the temple for a long time.
After being tired of scolding, it died down, weakly accepting this reality.
And comforting himself in his heart, Zhao Zhen gave his son a name, which is nothing.
Even if Zhao Zhen didn't name his son, his son's naming rights might not fall into his hands.
After all, his son also has a domineering great-grandfather and an unreasonable great-grandfather.
After comforting himself, Kou Ji took up the official document with disgust and continued to watch it.
Kou Ji has no objection to the court assigning credit to his son.
After watching the official document carefully, after confirming that there were no omissions.
Kou Ji sent officials to convey the official documents to the ministries, order the chief officials of the ministries, and convey the order of the court to award the ministries.
Those who should be promoted should be promoted, and those who should be given more money should be given more money.
In terms of rewards, Kou Ji never likes to drag.
After conveying the official document of the award of the Japanese soldiers and civilians, Kou Ji took Zhang Yuan's official document of the award and fell into hesitation.
It's not that the court's award of Zhang Yuan is too harsh.
On the contrary, the court gave Zhang Yuan a very generous reward.
Shot is a fifth grade official.
Go straight to the Jiao Si Luo of the year.
Jiao Si Luo did not complete the unification of Qingtang, nor did he fully control Qingtang's power, but in name, he was the co-master of Qingtang.
Nominally controls a huge territory comparable to Xixia.
Even so, the imperial court only gave him a five-rank official.
Zhang Yuan is different.
The Yuanshan tribe, where Zhang Yuan is located, grew out of nothing.
The only city under Kou Ji also gave up on his own initiative under Kou Ji's instruction.
It can be said that the Yuanshan tribe where Zhang Yuan is located is a tribe with no tribe.
Even so.
The court is still willing to give Zhang Yuan a five-rank official.
It can be seen that the imperial court recognized Zhang Yuan's contribution to helping the Song Dynasty build a career on the westward road.
For Zhang Yuan, with the court's favor and approval, he will save a lot of trouble in dealing with the court in the future.
For Zhang Yuan, for the Yuanshan Tribe, the royal court’s award was definitely a great thing.
But for Kou Ji, it's not a good thing.
The more the court values Zhang Yuan, the better Zhang Yuan's chances will be to step onto the table in the future.
The chance of exposure will increase accordingly.
More importantly, once the official document that the court gave to Zhang Yuan was delivered to Zhang Yuan, then Zhang Yuan would never look back.
The same is true for Kou Ji.
Once it was dug out, there was a master-servant relationship between Kou Ji and Zhang Yuan.
Then Kou Ji concealed the imperial court, broke the territories outside the territory, and conspired to commit an unruly crime, there is no way to refute it.
Even if Zhao Zhen is friendly to Kou Ji, it is impossible to tolerate Kou Ji's fission and confinement of territories outside the territory, raising a large number of soldiers and horses in captivity.
Kou Ji hesitated about this.
Before the official document was delivered to Zhang Yuan, he could still think of a way to look back.
Once the official document was delivered to Zhang Yuan, there was no turning back.
Kou Ji hesitated for a long time in the hall.
Long sighed.
"I'm sorry for being a elder brother... I didn't turn my bow back... At this point, it is troublesome to retreat, and it is troublesome not to retreat. It is better not to retreat...
"It's always a pawn set for your Zhao family, not a pawn set for my own benefit. At this point, I am worthy of you."
"I won't blame you for naming my son, and I will treat it as compensation for you."
"..."
Kou Ji had made a decision, so he no longer hesitated, and immediately sent someone to send the official document that bestowed Zhang Yuan to Huangtouhuihe.
After solving the issue of rewards.
Kou Ji watched other official documents one after another, most of which were not nutritious.
After Kou Ji saw it, he left it aside.
What he did in Shazhou City, the memo has not been handed back, and the court has not received accurate information from Shazhou.
Therefore, the court did not know about a series of things such as the killing of Xue Tian, the slaughter of the Shazhou Uighurs, and the beheading of the supervising army in the army.
After dealing with official duties.
Kou Ji left the side hall, went to the entrance of the main hall, chatted with Li Di who was blocking the main hall door for a while, and then left the palace and went to the city of Wazi for a stroll.
I met with Mu Chong, Qian Le, and Meng Weizhong.
After seeing Kou Ji, the three people vaguely proposed to Kou Ji that they would sell the members of several major workshops such as steel forging workshops and textile workshops.
As for the members of Yizijiaozipu, the three of them never mentioned it.
To this.
Kou Ji didn't say much.
He just told the three of them that he would find a way to find people with financial resources and eat the three of them in the forging workshops, textile workshops and other major workshops.
The three of Mu Chong thanked them for this and invited Kou Ji to eat in a new tavern in Shazhou City.
Kou Ji politely refused.
After Kou Ji left the city of Wazi, he went out of the city and swung around the fertile fields that were reclaimed outside the city.
Tens of thousands of people have opened up wasteland at a rapid pace, and they have opened up from the gate of Shazhou City to a location not far from the desert.
The line Kou Ji drew was five miles.
At the oasis five miles away from the desert, stop opening up.
In the wasteland area of Wuli, trees must be planted in the future to prevent wind and fix sand.
After the trees have grown, they will gradually open up into the desert, eventually turning the desert into a forest.
This is a long process, and it is not enough for decades to complete.
The saplings are not yet in place.
So there is no need to plant trees on it for the time being.
The huge team reclaiming wasteland parted ways here.
Some people will continue to stay in Shazhou and develop the land north of Shazhou City and west of Shazhou City.
To the east of Shazhou City, there are designated pastures and woods.
Another part of the team will rush to Guazhou in the near future to plant trees and open up wasteland in Guazhou.
Plant trees first, then open up wasteland.
The situation in Guazhou is different from that in Sazhou.
Shazhou has large oasis, but Guazhou does not.
Guazhou is very deserted.
Although not reduced to a desert, it is not much different from a desert.
Because of the existence of Yumen Pass, Guazhou must be a place of chaos during the Western Regions War.
The trees in Guazhou have basically been cut down.
There are only a few dwarf shrubs, and scattered weeds, floating lonely around Guazhou.
If you want to develop Guazhou, you have to plant trees first and then open up wasteland.
For the governance of the Hexi Land, Kou Ji has a clear plan.
Kou Ji patrolled the territory of Shazhou for three days.
Attended an extraordinary wedding, and spent another day.
After all the arrangements in Shazhou are in place.
Kou Ji handed over everything about Shazhou to Fan Zhongyan, and he took Li Di, with the guards, and the Japanese soldiers to Guazhou.
Chong Shiheng's scout found the traces of Xixia soldiers and horses outside Qingjian City.
Ye Li Wangrong, the patriarch of the suspected Yeli tribe, led a 50,000 Xixia Jingqi, marching along the line of the Great Wall.
Its purpose is self-evident.
Obviously it was directed at Hexi.
After the Great Song Dynasty occupied the Great Wall in the southern border of Xixia, Xixia soldiers and horses wanted to rush to Hexi, so they could only go west along the edge of the Great Wall.
To the south of the Great Wall, the Song Dynasty was heavily guarded.
To the north of the Great Wall, there is only a short section of oasis, and what is left is a vast expanse of desert.
The Tengger Desert and the Badain Jaran Desert are connected together, occupying most of the western border of Xixia.
Xixia soldiers and horses cannot march in the vast desert unless they are stupid to a certain level.
Travel west along the Great Wall all the way to the Hongshui River outside Xiliang, and cross the Hongshui River south to reach Xiliang.
The first foothold of Xixia reinforcements is undoubtedly Xiliang.
Since the Xixia reinforcements were already on the way, Kou Ji could not continue to nest in Shazhou.
Kou Ji and his entourage rode their horses eastward, crossed Sanwei Mountain, and arrived at Changle City. They rested in Changle City for a day and spent the Da Shi River.
After crossing the practical river.
The group of people seemed to have entered a wasteland.
What catches the eye is a broad and flat ground.
There are only scattered yellow plants and trees on the ground with red fruits.
The breeze blew up and rolled up a cloud of dust.
If you want to see a little green, you have to remove the withered grass and trees to see the dots of green buds emerging from their roots.
Li Di sat on horseback, looking at the barren land, falling into self-doubt.
"This... can it become fertile land? Can it become green land?"
Kou Ji rode his horse to Li Di's side and smiled calmly: "Of course... as long as the river does not dry up, as long as our people steadfastly open up wasteland, plant fields, and plant trees, one day, this place will become a green world."
"That's...how long?"
"Ten years... Twenty years... It may take a lifetime... It may be completed in several generations..."
Li Di couldn't say a word when he heard Kou Ji's words.
Although he has decided to die in Hexi all the time, he has decided to devote the rest of his life to Hexi.
But facing the barren land with no side in sight, there was nothing in my heart.
To turn such a barren land into fertile fields and forests, how many trees can be planted
How many people are invested
Li Di didn't dare to count, because he was afraid he couldn't count.
Kou Ji looked at the boundless land, and said with emotion: "The predecessors planted trees, and the future generations take advantage of the shade. Only if you pay, you will gain.
We can't just ask for the land under our feet without knowing how to return it.
If you ask for it blindly, one day, the desert will swallow everything. "
Li Di understood the first half of Kou Ji's words, and Li Di did not understand the second half.
Li Di pondered secretly, pondering the deep meaning of Kou Ji's words.
Kou Ji has rushed to Guazhou City.
Guazhou City is a soil city, the walls are not high, and there are no tall buildings to see.
The entire city is an earthy color, and all the buildings are made of earth.
Hundreds of banners standing on the head of the city added a different color to the city.
After Kou Ji and his party arrived in Guazhou City.
Cao Xiong, the guard who stayed behind in Guazhou City, took the initiative to greet him.
Into the city.
A simple wash.
Cao Xiong invited Kou Ji and his party to the City Lord's Mansion and prepared a table of wine and food to entertain Kou Ji and his party.
In Guazhou City, everything that can be seen is either looted by Xixia soldiers or horses, or burned by Xixia soldiers and horses.
Therefore, the tables and chairs Cao Xiong used to entertain Kou Ji and his party were very simple.
Kou Ji and his party did not feel dissatisfied.
Instead, he smiled and took Cao Xiong to sit down, eating and drinking, while inquiring about the battle at Yumen Pass.
Cao Xiong knew everything about the battle at Yumen Pass.
"Gong Li, Kou Qincha, since General Zhu and General Li took the Guazhou together, they once again divided their troops into two groups. They attacked Yumen Pass all the way and Yang Pass all the way.
Li Yuanhao stationed heavy troops at Yumen Pass, so General Zhu led his army to attack Yumen Pass several times, but failed to win Yumen Pass.
On the contrary, it was General Li's headquarters that broke through Yangguan, went all the way and took down Suzhou, and is now heading for Ganzhou.
In order to cooperate with General Li, General Zhu besieged Yumen Pass and adopted a method of siege instead of attack. "
"In Yumen Pass, what is going on with Li Yuanhao?"
"Li Yuanhao has been guarding Yumen Pass for a long time. When our army is besieged, he will send his subordinate elite iron knights out to fight for a while. When our army retreats, he will return to Yumen Pass."
