After Kou Ji dispatched his soldiers and horses, he sat in the Iron Yewu Office and waited for news.
He didn't even know that the biggest crisis of his life was coming quietly.
A group of thousands of people passed through Dijinze and appeared in Xiazhou when they were practicing at the Tiemen Pass to attack Xiazhou.
After they arrived in Xiazhou, they found the chief officer of the Xixia Left-wing Brave Army in Xiazhou, and after showing their waist cards, they moved into the tent prepared separately by the chief officer of the Left-wing Brave Army in Xixia.
They come out at night and they are very mysterious.
Most of the people who have seen them rest on their strong arms and the special strong bows carried by a hundred of them.
Those strong bows are all strong bows of more than four stones, and they are different from all the strong bows in the army.
It is very likely that there are five-stone strong bows, or even six-stone bows.
You know, most soldiers in the army can use a crossbow, and the more powerful ones can only use two or three stone bows.
Only those who have excellent arm strength and are very brave can open a four-stone strong bow.
Anyone who can open a four-stone strong bow will not have a low position in the military.
A group of people who can open four stones, or even strong bows of more than four stones, gather together, naturally not for the purpose of learning archery.
They are likely to have earth-shattering things to do.
After they arrived in Xiazhou, they went out at night and stayed in obscurity for several days.
Until the starless night of a month, all disappeared in Xiazhou.
…
"Boom!"
In Tieyewu, Kou Ji yelled loudly after photographing a document in his hand on the case table.
"A group of idiots can't see Da Song becoming stronger. It always likes to stand up to help the enemy when it is critical. The officials have killed a group, but they didn't kill these people to the horror."
Liu Heng got up and took the paperwork from the case. After scanning his eyes, he frowned and said: "Someone impeached Cao Shuai for consuming the country's wealth in the land of Yanyun and wasting the military plane. He also impeached us for committing crimes and destroying our great Song Dynasty. A relationship with Xixia in harmony."
Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said: "If Cao Wei can fight the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, why wait until now? They don't want to think about how the defeat of the Yanyun Land will affect my Da Song. Only. I saw that Cao Wei led his troops outside, consuming the money in the treasury all the time.
The army of 300,000 has been in the land of Yanyun for more than half a year, and the money spent has not reached tens of millions.
Cao Wei had obviously begun to save money from between his teeth, and they were still not satisfied.
What are they
Are they planning the money for the court
The money was obtained by Lao Tzu for the court, and Lao Tzu didn't feel distressed. They felt distressed with a hammer. "
The 300,000 army, plus the auxiliary soldiers, is very large in number. They are fighting abroad, eating horses and chewing every day, and they consume a huge number.
More than half a year has passed since the army of 300,000 rushed to Yanyun.
However, it cost nine million yuan of money, and it was only three times the amount of money originally promised by Emperor Zhao Heng of Zhenzong to the Liao Kingdom. Some people in the court complained of pain.
Nine million pens, divided among the hands of each soldier, I am afraid it is only 20 copper coins (not that the author is not good at arithmetic, but also considers horses and auxiliary soldiers).
Two dozen coins have been eaten for half a year, you can imagine what they eat.
Each soldier eats two meals a day, and each meal eats a little chaff, which is almost the same.
The soldiers must have not paid their military pay.
The soldiers did not have the salary, and they were willing to fight in Yanyun. What are the qualifications of those who are pampered in the hall? !
Liu Heng said with a sullen expression: "Cao Shuai might have realized that if he spends a lot of money with the Liao people, it will arouse dissatisfaction with some people in the court, so he started to save money from the beginning of the war.
The imperial court should not reduce or exempt taxes in Zhuozhou, Shuozhou, and Huanzhou. The tax support of these three states should help Cao Shuai relieve some of the pressure. "
Kou Ji frowned and said, "The people of Zhuozhou, Shuozhou, and Huanzhou have been squeezed by the Liao people. After nearly a hundred years, they are not rich. They need to cultivate vitality, and the court's approach is correct.
The imperial court was not generous enough.
The soldiers were on the front line, fighting with the Liao people with their lives.
The imperial court shouldn't pick and pick soso, leaving the soldiers hungry. "
Liu Heng's expression was a bit bitter and said, "The imperial court is not all wrong. Lu Yijian and Cao Wei don't cry poor, and the officials are not good at waving a big pen to give them large sums of money.
Every time the officials sent people to ask them if they had enough food and grass, they said it was enough.
The officials wanted to send money, but they couldn't. "
Kou Ji said with a black face: "They didn't want it, but they didn't dare to open their mouths. Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, plus auxiliary soldiers and horses. It is about a million guan. If you add military pay and rewards for meritorious service, it is likely to be even more.
If they dare to speak out a number exceeding tens of millions, the government and the public will be shaken by it.
By that time, more people will impeach them.
More importantly, they were not sure how long they would spend with the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, so they would be able to save. "
Liu Heng understood what Kou Ji said.
If Cao Wei spent more time with the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, the more money he spent.
Cao Wei led 300,000 soldiers and horses, and spent nine million in half a year.
It would cost 18 million tongs in a year.
The royal government allocates 30 million junks to all the imperial army, Xiang army, regimental training, and village soldiers each year.
The 300,000 soldiers and horses led by Cao Wei consumed three-fifths of all military expenditures of the Song Dynasty in one year.
However, the soldiers and horses led by Cao Wei are not three-fifths of the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty.
Cao Wei's expenditure is a huge overspend.
Although the soldiers and horses led by Cao Wei are fighting, it belongs to a special period.
But some clubs in North Korea don’t care if you are in a special period.
They only care, according to the normal expenditure of the imperial court, whether they will receive a reduction each year.
When the imperial court spends a lot on the use of troops, its expenditure on political affairs will be reduced accordingly.
Some officials will naturally not agree.
After all, the Song court treated officials generously.
Officials can use public funds to do everything they want.
The court reimbursed the cost of food and clothing, the cost of hiring servants, the cost of carriages and horses, the cost of traveling and playing, and even the cost of prostitutes.
The imperial court spent a huge amount of money on the use of soldiers, and some of the expenditures for officials would naturally be reduced sharply.
The officials will naturally not agree.
Emperor Song Taizu, Zhao Kuangyin, set a high salary for the officials of the Song Dynasty, the purpose of which was to maintain a high salary and maintain integrity.
But his goal was not achieved at all.
Instead, a group of greedy people who lie on the court and drink blood have been raised.
Li Di just moved those idle jobs on them and was almost forced to death by them.
Now that Cao Wei is fighting in the land of Yanyun, it may affect their food and clothing costs, and they will naturally not sit idly by.
Cao Wei's battle in the land of Yanyun had no results.
If it drags on for three or five years.
The money in the treasury is likely to be exhausted, and they may live a hard life, so they naturally refuse to agree.
Although Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun, Li Di, Lu Yijian, and Kou Ji had cleaned up a lot of worms in the court, they were unable to remove all the officials from the court and the opposition.
Although they all know where the ruling and opposition parties are.
But when all the officials were cleared out in one go, the world of Song Dynasty would be messed up.
They also rarely touch the collective interests of all officials.
The only time was when Li Di moved all the officials of the ruling and opposition parties to the idle positions. The fate of Li Di now is obvious to all.
It can be said that Cao Wei's expenditure of money in the land of Yanyun is likely to affect the interests of all officials from the ruling and opposition parties. Naturally, all the officials from the ruling and opposition parties will not wait to die.
Corrupt officials cannot be killed.
Insatiable people can never be killed.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji did not kill people less, but they still did not stop their greed.
Seeing Kou Ji’s face turned dark, Liu Heng thought that Kou Ji was worried about Cao Wei’s battle in Yanyun, so he whispered and comforted: “You don’t have to worry about Cao Shuai. Did a million Guans go to Cao Shuai
There are officials secretly supporting, even if the money sent by the court to Cao Shuai is not much, Cao Shuai will not change anywhere. "
Kou Ji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
An emperor gave military expenses to a courtier, but also secretly gave it.
"Cao Wei should be thankful that he met such a good emperor from the official family..."
Kou Ji was silent for a long time and sighed.
If the Zhenzong Zhao Heng was in power, the 300,000 army led by Cao Wei would have starved to death in the land of Yanyun.
With the temperament of Zhenzong Zhao Heng, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to share the money in the inner treasury. He even wants to move some from the treasury to fill his inner treasury.
If you don't have money, don't fight if you don't have money.
I asked the Liao people to come over and talk, and give them three million guan, so that they won't fight with me in the future.
Zhenzong Zhao Heng has money to subsidize the enemy's army, but he has no money to pay his own soldiers and horses.
If Taizong Zhao Guangyi is in power, Cao Wei will probably cry to death.
Taizong Zhao Guangyi would not be stingy.
However, if he sent someone to deliver food and grass to Cao Wei, Cao Wei estimated that after he was defeated, he would retreat to the territory of the Song Dynasty before he could see it.
Zhao Zhen is still kind and not cheating.
Not only was he apparently helping Cao Wei to win the military salary, he also secretly took out a sum from the small vault and sent it to Cao Wei.
Liu Heng heard Kou Ji's words and nodded decisively: "Official officials are naturally good emperors..."
Speaking of this, Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji and said, "Don’t worry about Cao Shuai. If there are officials secretly helping, there will be nothing wrong with Cao Shuai. You should worry about yourself. Now someone in the DPRK has begun to impeach you. , Are you not going to control?"
Kou Ji squinted at Liu Heng and asked, "Is the official in charge?"
Liu Heng was taken aback, and said dumbfounded: "With the relationship between the official family and you, how can you listen to the slander of those people and punish you."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "Since the officials won't condemn me, what shall I care about them? If you love impeachment, even if they are impeached, I care about them, and I will go with their surnames."
Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji in amazement.
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said, "I am different from Cao Wei. Cao Wei is afraid of their impeachment, so I'm not afraid of their impeachment. I am not afraid of their impeachment. If they like it, even if the impeachment is good."
Cao Wei fell down and won't stand up again, because he is old and has reached the top of a military minister. It is impossible to be revived again.
I'm still young, and if I fall down today, I will rise again tomorrow.
If I recover, they will be the first to die, so what am I afraid of? "
Liu Heng was stunned by Kou Ji's words, speechless.
Thinking about it carefully, what Kou Ji said is really reasonable.
The relationship between Yi Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen is not going to fall today, but will rise again tomorrow.
Even if you do not rely on Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai, Wang Yunsheng, and even the voice of the people, Kou Ji can be pushed back to the court.
The four words of life and death are not just casual talk.
Kou Ji not only has his own political resources, but also the huge political resources that Kou Zhun has accumulated throughout his life.
As long as Kou Zhun is not dead, all the students who have a little connection with Kou Ji will have to speak for Kou Ji.
So Kou Ji really doesn't have to worry about impeachment.
If you really want to step into the quagmire with Kou Ji's foot, you must first clean up Kou Zhun and Kou Ji's deaths in the court.
The question is, is it cleaned up
The one who is closest to Kou Zhun and Kou Ji is now sitting on the highest throne in the Hanging Arch Hall. Who can pull him off the horse
So Kou Ji is not worried at all.
Kou Ji saw that Liu Heng was stunned and didn't speak, so he thought to himself: "You send someone back to Beijing to help me send a few private messages. This group of clubs really thought that I would not be able to deal with them if I was not in Bianjing.
Liu Heng slowly returned to his senses and asked, "What letter to send?"
Kou Ji squinted and said: "Two letters, one to Xiang Yan and one to Empress Cao. Let them both take the lead and donate cotton-padded clothes to soldiers far away in the land of Yanyun."
Liu Heng said in amazement: "It's still early in winter..."
Kou Ji sneered: "I donated my cotton clothes, how can I lack the quilts... A whole set of winter items will take a lot of time to collect and prepare."
Liu Heng thought: "Are you planning to let the queen and his wife take those ladies who donated cotton-padded clothes, quilts, etc.?"
The smile on Kou Ji's face was even colder, "Not only that, I am also going to ask the Queen and Xiang Yan to write the list of donations into the Di Bao and distribute it to the entire Song Dynasty."
Liu Heng took a breath after hearing the words.
"Are you drawing a salary from the bottom of the pot?!"
Kou Ji smiled coldly and said: "As long as we set the number higher, those officials who are fed and supported will have to bleed."
Liu Heng said in a deep voice: "If they don't want to bleed, they will be scolded by the people under the world."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The people's eyes are sharp. They will help us find out how many of the officials who have been fed and supported have their possessions. They will also know who did not contribute in this donation.
Don't those officials who are full and supporting themselves often like to impeach others through public opinion
Then I will show them the real public opinion. "
Liu Heng groaned: "We have a rich family and we know a lot of people. If we set a higher number, it might not work."
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and smiled: "So I am going to write to Zhang Zhibai, asking him to sell the mansion given to him by the court and donate it 10,000 pieces of cotton-padded clothes."
Liu Heng's eyes widened in horror, and he gave Kou Ji a thumbs up, "You are ruthless!"
Can it be ruthless? !
Zhang Zhibai's kind of upright and honest official who eats chaffy vegetables, sells the house given by the court, and also donates 10,000 cotton clothes.
The other officials who have eaten their brains and intestines can't get more blood yet.
If you don't come out, you will be scolded if you don't.
Once the people's verbal abuse comes out, the public comment on the annual review will undoubtedly become inferior.
