This is said by touching your conscience

Can you say this after stuffing the money piled outside the treasury into the treasury

Since the imperial court got Kou Ji and seized a huge amount of money in Hexi, it became completely wealthy.

The imperial court not only used the money to repay the debts borrowed from Yizijiaozipu, but also filled the imperial court's existing treasury.

The closed pile library is full.

The small private treasury of the official family was also full.

The treasury was not filled with the money that Kou Ji had seized.

But after the autumn tax was levied this year, it was also full.

The benefits of the imperial court abolishing those idle officials, abolishing vacant posts, and abolishing bloated troops have finally come to the fore.

The agricultural tools promoted by the steel forging workshops have brought changes to agricultural products.

This year the imperial court levied various taxes and converted them into money, which amounted to more than 90 million yuan.

After deducting the various expenses of the imperial court, there are still more than 30 million coins left.

More importantly, the 50 million stone of grain Kou Ji brought back has not been counted in this.

The imperial court is now very wealthy, richer than ever before.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a rich stream of oil.

Zhao Zhen started to drink mutton soup at night, and he no longer had to worry about drinking mutton soup at night, which would cost the people.

Even Zhao Zhen, who has always been self-denying and frugal, has begun to be extravagant.

Your king was ashamed to say that the court is not rich

Kou Ji looked at Wang Zeng's gaze, very strange.

Wang Zeng felt Kou Ji's gaze, and said solemnly: "We need a huge amount of money to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. Although the court has a small surplus, we still have more money.

The officials, me, and Lu Gong couldn't do much about fighting.

What we can do is to allow the soldiers in front to eat a full meal while fighting.

It's best to eat meat. "

Wang Zeng's words are justified.

Kou Ji did not continue to look at Wang Zeng with weird eyes.

Faced with the concerns of Zhao Zhen, Wang Zeng, and Lu Yijian, Kou Ji thought about it and gave a solution.

Kou Ji pondered: "Wang Xiang, Lu Xiang, it's time to make the people of Hongyu Temple move."

Lu Yijian raised her eyebrows, "Do you want the people from Hongyou Temple to appease the envoys?"

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Lu Yijian frowned and said, "All the envoys are all profit-seeking people. If you don't give them benefits, how can you comfort them? And even if they are benefited, they may not be able to eliminate the panic in their hearts.

Some of them are very likely to take money and stop coming to my Da Song. "

Kou Ji smiled and shook his head, "No money, sign an agreement with them, and use the agreement to appease them."

"Covenant?"

The three of Zhao Zhen looked puzzled.

Kou Ji smiled and said: "As the sovereign nation, I am obliged to maintain the stability of all parties. Therefore, we must sign corresponding covenants with all the subordinates. For example, as the sovereign nation, we are friendly and will never fight. With their own strength, they can intervene in their internal affairs at will.

Therefore, it is possible to write a clause in the covenant, not to interfere in each other's internal affairs.

For another example, as the sovereign state, we have an obligation to let all parties have less friction and less swordsmanship.

Therefore, it is possible to write a clause in the covenant that fugitive slaves, fugitives, etc., shall not be asylum. After they are discovered, or after obtaining the corresponding diplomatic documents, they must be sent back to other countries.

For another example, on the principle of non-interference in each other's internal affairs, embassies of various countries shall not shelter criminals in the country where the embassy is located. In case of violation, the country where the embassy is located has the right to enter the embassy for arrest.

There is only so much I can think of for the time being.

Specifically, you are more proficient than me.

You can study it carefully. "

The three of Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji in astonishment.

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "In short, signing this type of covenant is optional for Xixia and Liao. But it is still very good for the other members.

Although I, Da Song, will suffer a loss after the covenant is signed.

But we get the most benefits. "

It is not that Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng understand nothing.

They naturally understood what Kou Ji's loss was and what the benefit was.

Once Da Song signs such a covenant with the various members of the family, then Da Song's spies outside will not be protected, and they are likely to die after their identity is revealed.

At the same time, Da Song couldn't casually start a war with the subordinates who signed the covenant.

But relatively, Da Song will also get a lot of benefits.

For example, the brain drain of the Song Dynasty will be restricted to a certain extent.

After all, compared with the surrounding countries, Da Song has undoubtedly the most talents.

Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some waste and outflow.

Stronger than Liao, in terms of talent training, it is more than a bit worse than Da Song.

That's why the Liao State often digs people from the Song Dynasty.

For another example, Da Song, as the suzerain country and the leader in signing the covenant, has more power to speak than others in terms of covenant regulations.

The Song Dynasty can not only unite with other subordinates through the status of the suzerain country, and punish those who do not obey.

To a certain extent, with the help of the covenant, troops can be deployed from other subordinate countries.

For another example, once the covenant is signed, Da Song and the covenant countries will not be arrogant.

The friction between the two sides will decrease and the trade exchanges between the two sides will increase.

Compared with the surrounding neighbors, Da Song is richer.

Compared with the surrounding neighbours, Da Song has the most goods.

Once the border has entered a stable state, the trade exchanges between the two sides will enter a vigorous development.

Da Song can earn huge amounts of money through this.

All in all, as long as the covenant rules and regulations are well formulated, while the subordinates are profiting, Da Song will also profit, and it will still eat the most lucrative part of the profit.

Kou Ji saw that the three of Zhao Zhen had been thinking about it, so he smiled and continued: "The six characters of'non-interference in each other's internal affairs' are enough for Qingtang and Yuanshan to agree to sign a covenant with us."

Da Song now holds the Hexi Land in his hand, and is also promoting the Western Regions. He has a good reputation in the Western Regions. It is easy to interfere in Qingtang's internal affairs.

Is Qingtang afraid

Qingtang is also afraid.

But Qingtang was helpless.

They can't fight with Da Song just because they are worried that Da Song will interfere in Qingtang's internal affairs, right

They have enough manpower, but they don't have enough strength.

Especially after seeing the iron cavalry of the Song Dynasty, as well as muskets and artillery.

But if Da Song took the initiative to propose non-interference in each other's internal affairs.

Qingtang must agree.

As for the Wonyama Department

Should I worry

Yuanshan is Kou Ji's dog leg.

How could Yuanshan be opposed to the proposal made by Kou Ji

Have you ever seen a dog leg who antagonizes the master

Zhao Zhen, Wang Zeng, and Lu Yijian looked at each other and exchanged their eyes, and they all could see the consternation in each other's heart.

Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian have been playing politics for decades, and they have never thought about getting along with Fans in this way Kou Ji said.

In the past, they signed a covenant with Fan Clan, and they were all privately submitted credentials.

In the face of different fanciers, their attitudes are also different.

They had never thought that they could sign an agreement with all the subordinates.

"Is this... traversing the world? Didn't you kid say you have given up your mind? Why did you make such a suggestion again

Wang Zeng muttered in his heart, looking at Kou Ji with a complicated expression.

In his eyes, the words Kou Ji said and the suggestion made were a way of navigating the world.

Because this method Kou Ji said, if it is operated properly, it is completely possible for those around him to do anything according to Da Song's intention.

Although Kou Ji mentioned the argument of'non-interference in each other's internal affairs'.

But as long as the Song Dynasty can influence the surrounding subordinates as the suzerain state, what does it matter if he does not interfere in his internal affairs

As long as it can influence, Da Song has countless ways to make the Fans obey.

Wang Zeng could unceremoniously say to all the fans around him that if you add up all of you, you have to fart.

The courtiers in the court hall, nothing else, if you play with your heart, you really have no opponents.

Wang Zeng was thinking about things in his heart, so he didn't speak.

Lu Yijian stared at Kou Ji, and said solemnly: "This matter is very involved and needs to be discussed and discussed."

Lu Yijian looked at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, and said, "Call six books, the principal and deputy envoy of the Privy Council."

After a pause, Zhao Zhen added, "Zhang Shixun doesn't need to be called, I bother him."

Wang Zeng knew something inside, so after hearing what Zhao Zhen said, he didn't have much reaction.

When Lu Yijian heard what Zhao Zhen said, her expression was stunned.

"Officials..."

Lu Yijian said two words intentionally.

Zhao Zhen interrupted him forcefully, "Now, Zhen, the inner court, and the six departments are all running for the rise of the Great Song Dynasty. But Zhang Shixun, not only does nothing, but always likes to sing the opposite.

Now it is time for us to work together for the great Song Qiangsheng. This kind of rat shit should not appear in the court. "

In order to eliminate the pedantic people from the court, Zhao Zhen tried his best to arrange a round, but in the end he was destroyed by the Xixia people, and he was not completely successful.

There are still one or two pedantic people who remain in the court, and Zhang Shixun is one of them.

Zhao Zhen didn't even bother to set another round, nor did he have the opportunity to set another round.

So he simply went headstrong.

Directly express dissatisfaction with Zhang Shixun.

Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian looked at each other and gave a wry smile.

Lu Yijian did not speak any more.

If Zhao Zhen really becomes self-willed, they will be helpless.

After all, Jiangshan belongs to his family, and he is the ruler of Jiangshan.

"Chen Lin, go and call people quickly."

Wang Zeng gave a voice to Chen Lin, who was standing by.

Chen Lin looked at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen nodded, and Chen Lin withdrew from Shishitang.

After Chen Lin left, Kou Ji gave a dry cough and asked: "Officials, Wang Xiang, Lu Xiang, have we forgotten to talk about business?"

All three of Zhao Zhen were taken aback.

Wang Zeng smiled bitterly: "I forgot about Mu Chong and his son."

Lu Yijian thought: "Then let the Xixia people raise them for a few days, and send people to stare at the Xixia Posthouse. If it is impossible, they will block the whole street on the grounds of arresting the chaos.

Xu Jin is not allowed to leave.

Rice, noodles, grains and oil are all delivered.

Let them eat without money.

After we have negotiated the covenant and appeased all envoys, we will clean up them. "

Lu Yijian, who is a colleague who is in charge of the book, and a clerk, now even specially mentions rice, noodles, grain and oil money, which is quite a merchant.

If the people heard his words, they would be shocked.

Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, and Wang Zeng did not oppose Lu Yijian's proposal.

Lu Yijian wrote down a document, stamped it, and sent it out for execution.

After the documents were sent out, Lu Yijian spoke again: "Since the members of Yizijiaozipu are now out of the control of Mu, Qian, and Meng, there is no need to stay in the three of them.

The Manchu dynasty civil and military fought for the three of them.

Six of them all shot together for the three of them.

For the three merchants, so inspiring and moving the crowd, it spread out a funny joke.

The matter was settled as soon as possible, so that the people from the sixth department returned to their positions as soon as possible, and each performed their duties. "

Zhao Zhen, Wang Zeng, and Kou Ji nodded in agreement.

The Xixia people broke Zhao Zhen's plan, and the members of Jiaozipu had been out of the control of Mu, Qian, and Meng. They really didn't need to keep the three chess pieces.

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, then looked at Lu Yijian and said, "Lu Xiang meant to kill or release?"

Lu Yijian fell into silence upon hearing this.

Wang Zeng did not speak either, but instead looked at Zhao Zhen.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Zhen slowly said: "The Mu clan was punishable, the Meng clan was exiled, and the Qian clan was demoted to a commoner. The three families had all their money, confiscated, and deposited into the treasury. The Mu clan sold to Xixia’s Yicheng Yizipu Jiaozipu. The members of, from today onwards belong to me and to the imperial court.

I don't recognize any Yizijiaozipu member who is out of the control of Song Dynasty, nor will the court.

This sentence is set as the iron law, and the standing stone is the stele, standing in all the courtyards where the word Jiaozi is paved.

The descendants of future generations shall not be surpassed.

I want to let all the outsiders who are thinking about the word Jiaozipu be distracted.

Yizijiaozipu can only belong to me. "

Zhao Zhen's words are light and flamboyant, but they are beyond doubt.

Kou Ji, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng were shocked at hearing.

Set a sentence as an iron law, and clearly tell future generations and grandchildren that it must not be crossed.

It is enough to show that Zhao Zhen is very firm in facing the issue of Yizijiaozipu.

The only thing that surprised the three people was that Zhao Zhen still didn't hit the killer severely.

It just killed Mu Jiazhu who was furious with Xixia.

Let go of the Meng family and the Qian family.

Kou Ji did not rebut, neither did Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian.

Perhaps in the hearts of the three of them, this is the best ending for the three families of Mu, Qian, and Meng.

The Qian and Meng families must be fortunate that they met a benevolent emperor.

Otherwise, the two of them will have to die.

The matter of Yizijiaozipu seems to have come to an end at this time.

But Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, Wang Zeng, and Lu Yijian knew in their hearts that the matter was not over yet.

The members of Yizijiaozipu were transferred from the hands of the merchants to the powerful.

Then the next struggle will be pure power struggle.

The next struggle may be more intense than the previous one.

Greedy dignitaries, will watch the Gao family eat alone

How could the imperial court tolerate the Wei dynasty lineage, holding 20% of the members of Jiaozipu

The royal family's blood line was originally the royal family's blood. If they were to have a huge amount of money, then they wouldn't be able to think about it
