"You and I are both ministers of the court, the kings of the country and the people of the people. Good strategies should be promoted, so why do you and me be distinguished?"

"this……"

"Brother Zhigui, think about how to write this memorial?" Zheng Lang asked directly as he agreed.

"The pastoral prison cannot be cut down. After all, there are endless turmoil in frontier places. The court must retain more than half of the pastoral prisons. The pastoral prisons, which are densely populated, rich in water and grass, and are not suitable for raising good horses, were cut down one by one. Besides, these pastoral prisons were mostly occupied by powerful people, and some were in name but not real, which became a burden to the country. It would be better to revoke them as soon as possible and save national expenses."

"I agree, too."

"Reduce the amount of horse purchases by half and change it to a kind reward."

"good!"

"People are encouraged to raise horses, and no taxes shall be imposed on horses in any form. People are encouraged to cultivate horse breeds, reproduce young horses, improve horse breeds, and increase horse populations, especially in border areas."

"wonderful."

"The cavalry is reorganized and a dedicated person is sent to supervise the soldiers to monitor the war horses and protect the war horses so that they cannot die without reason. There are some areas on the edges that are specially designed for cavalry to station, shepherd horses, train riding skills, fight and archery immediately, and prepare for war at any time when unexpected happens."

"It must be done so. Then we will write a memorial on this."

Ye Qingchen watched Han Qi and Zheng Lang sing and reconcile, laughing and crying. He came over to ask this trip, but he did not expect this result to evolve.

You guys make trouble, I don't care.

Choi Xian went in to cook, and the two of them lay down on the desk to write. Zheng Lang said to Yoon Soo, "Shi Lu, you can write down your ideas too."

Yin Zhu looked at Ye Qingchen and Han Qi said, "Shi Lu, just listen to Xingzhi."

Lu Yijian was seriously ill, and the court would inevitably undergo a new reshuffle. This battle exposed so many disadvantages of the country. The court not only needed talents, but also talents with ideas. I have to take care of them.

After writing the book, Cui Xiancai also made dishes, a few plates of light vegetables, and a plate of roasted lamb with some spices in the middle, a layer of mustard on the outside, and a rolled browned oil, which was fragrant. Han Qi said: "The food must be accompanied by fine wine."

Zheng Lang was happy and ordered his servant to bring the rice wine he had collected at home. This time, Han Qi did not persuade Zheng Lang to drink. Instead, he squeezed his eyes with Yin Zhu and pointed his finger at Ye Qingchen. Ye Qingchen was older and experienced, but Han Qi didn't care about this.

The two of them were verbally fighting and would not stagger Ye Qingchen, fleeing in the panic, and then ran to the inn to rest. Han Qi then put down his wine glass and asked, "Xingzhi. Do you think Xixia is mainly about war or harmony?"

"Why did Zhigui think of asking this?"

"If you know, people do not have long-term thoughts. You will have immediate worries. I know that the ministers in the temple are forced to discuss peace with the people of Xixia at this time, under the pressure of the country's financial situation, they want to discuss peace with the people of Xixia. However, the real peace is still false peace, so you must distinguish it clearly, otherwise the northwest will not be able to make arrangements."

"I think... I still have to fight. It's not a question of whether our dynasty wants to be reconciled. As long as the Xixia people recover, they will inevitably continue to invade our dynasty."

"This statement has won my heart, but Brother Xiwen doesn't know that he just wants to make peace."

Zheng Lang simply pretended not to hear it.

If you really want to ask what to do with the people of Xixia in the future, you will definitely fight. But Han Qi is not talking about the future, but about the past!

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Yin Zhu said goodbye, but Han Qi did not leave and continued to play with Zheng Langhai. From the country to the knowledge and from the knowledge to the military, Cui Xian and Jiang Xing'er looked at the cool Han Qi and were speechless.

The couple has been separated for a long time, so you can at least weigh other people's feelings, but you will become the protagonist today.

Zheng Lang had no choice but to drink, and Han Qi talked about the last poem and essay, and had no intention of leaving. After looking at the sky, Zheng Lang had to say, "Brother Zhigui, it's not early. I don't think my house is shy today, so how about resting here?"

"Okay" took Zheng Lang's hand again, and they only rested at the second update. We can't stay in Weizhou forever. He still had to lead thousands of troops back to Qinzhou. The next day, Zheng Lang sent him out of Weizhou and came outside the city. He stopped each other. Zheng Lang suddenly asked, "I heard that you wrote a letter to ask the court to allow Qin Fenglu to add tattooed soldiers?"

"Yes, Qinfeng Road's troops are too weak and cannot increase the imperial guards, which leads to the country's expenditure. It turns out that it is inconvenient to summon archers. So I wrote this to further adapt the archers and protect the strength of Qinfeng Road."

"Brother Zhigui, how long do you think we can stay in the northwest?"

"Xingzhi, what kind of wind can I hear?"

"I didn't hear any news, but you can think about it. Once the court and the Xixia people form a peace agreement, can we still destroy the family laws of our ancestors and be in charge of the military, political and financial power of the state army? Not only will I be transferred back to the capital soon, but you, Xiwen and others will be transferred back to the capital."

"It's still early."

"Brother Zhigui, I know what you think. I want to take advantage of the defeat of Xixia, and find a way to seize Hengshan. But you are not unaware of the ministers in the temple. Most of them have the idea of ​​being at ease. Now that Xixia is defeated, the two sides hit it off. The time to seize Hengshan has not yet come, and the peace between the two countries has been established long ago. Besides, the villages have been built until Wuyan Gorge, Xiaoguan, and then take Hengshan. Will Yuanhao fight to the death? Fight again, the enemy will have ten fates of destruction, but our court. Brother Zhigui, don't forget, there is still."

Zheng Lang pointed to the north. The Khitan and Xixia have not yet had any evil, so can they sit still and watch the Song Dynasty annihilate the Western Xia?

Looking at the north, Han Qi looked frustrated.

"If you can't afford to fight, why do you need so many troops on Qinfeng Road? According to the method you said, it is to save the national expenses. However, these rural soldiers only received a little salary subsidy, but they had to tattoo their faces to delay farming and grazing. Will their morale be as high as before? The Xixia people really did not have riding skills? The archery skills? The martial arts skills? The health? The reason why the army was not strong is this. If you are considerate, you can only organize them into a regular army. The country's redundant focus is on redundant soldiers. It is too late to lay off. You still have to increase troops, right?"

Zheng Lang said calmly.

Although Han Qi was caused by selfishness, it also depends on it. Not only selfishness, but some people also want Qin Feng to have more opportunities to make meritorious contributions. To put it bluntly, it is to seize military achievements, but what is good is a military enterprising spirit. This spirit cannot be seen in Fan Zhongyan, nor in Pang Ji and Lu Yijian.

It’s better to be harmonious, it’s important to be harmonious, but people don’t want to be harmonious!

Han Qi's spirit is what Zheng Lang admires most.

Han Qi didn't answer, and he might not be convinced, nor did he save Zheng Lang's face and rode on his horse. He said, "There will be a date later."

...

Before the imperial edict came down, Zheng Lang received a letter written by Wang Deyong.

Zheng Lang felt very confused. Wang Deyong was not in the capital, but in Hebei. I don’t know what method Ge Huaimin used to deliver the letter to Hebei in such a short time. Wang Deyong also asked him to hand over the letter he wrote to himself before the imperial edict was issued.

The actual situation has nothing to do with Ge Huaimin. After the Dingchuan Village Battle, Ge Huaimin followed the army, half a prisoner and half a student, and the news reached the rear. Wang also came from a famous family, and immediately realized something was wrong when he heard it.

The husband did not lead to a major defeat, but he must have dereliction of duty, and he was very stupid. When the Xixia people transferred the army, they automatically entered the encirclement. On the other side, the two bad things Zheng Lang and Han Qi were the two bad things. Before the battle began, they had long guessed that their husband would definitely be fooled by the Xixia people. They made preparations in Dingchuan Village, but used their husbands as chess pieces and played with them. They would not be able to cut off their heads, and their careers were worrying.

Her family has some relatives with the Cui family, but they don’t have much to do with Zheng Lang. After her husband came to Jingyuan Road, he fought with him. Even if he asked Cui Xian, it was mostly useless. So he used the Qianke from the family and rode a fast horse to Hebei to ask for help from Wang Deyi.

After this battle, the court would inevitably send people to inquire about the specific situation, ask Wang Deyong to invite Zheng Lang, say less bad words, and let Ge Huaimin go.

Something happened in the middle, and Zheng Lang didn't know about it.

When Ge Huaimin and Zheng Lang had some secret conflicts, Wang Deyong also wrote a letter to scold Ge Huaimin, saying that he should not be entrusted. He is just a military general. Zheng Lang may be the most important civil servant in the Song Dynasty in the future. What do you use to compete with others? Ge Huaimin did not listen and still did his own way.

So Wang Deyong wrote two letters, one to Ge Huaimin, blamed Ge Huaimin again, and the other to Zheng Lang, and asked for love in a tactful manner. What should I do? After all, it was his own brother-in-law.

Zheng Lang smiled and said to Wang Deyong's disciple: "Please tell Mr. Wang that I have no grudges and resentment with General Ge. I used to have some minor details, but it really doesn't matter. I know how to do it."

After a few days of sending Wang De away with his disciples, the imperial edict issued.

Zheng Lang was awarded the title of the great meritorious officer again, and Zheng Lang was awarded the title of Duke of Wei. It doesn’t matter which country it is a duke, but it is a virtual title, and it is often used as the title of Duke of the Spring and Autumn Period. But when it comes to a particular person, he often considers his hometown, or the state where he is in the most deeds, or other factors. It doesn’t matter to Qin and Wei, Qin and Wei during the Spring and Autumn Period, but later there were some dynasties, such as Wei, Northern Wei, Western Wei, Former Qin and Later Qin, Qin during the Three Kingdoms. These dynasties all had the territory of Xixia respectively. Therefore, they were named Duke of Qin and later Duke of Wei.

Zheng Lang still declined.

The one who came after did not refuse on the spot, but puzzled Zheng Lang and asked the eunuch who issued the order: "Why did the imperial court summon ministers so quickly?"

"It was Mr. Lu who advised His Majesty."

"Grandpa Lü?"

"Yes, including asking Your Majesty to teach you to serve as the government affairs, it is all the proposal of Xianggong Lu."

Zheng Lang was puzzled.

He pondered for a while and said, "I can't go back to Beijing for the time being. Let me do this. I will write a memorial to come to Beijing and report the situation to Your Majesty. After the villages are built next year, Your Majesty will entrust me to enter Beijing, or to go to the local area to serve, and I dare not refuse."

If you can't leave, Zheng Lang is not relieved to entrust these affairs to anyone else.

The northern move has not been completed.

You have to leave, and you can't leave the Northwest until at least March next year.

He picked up the pen, wrote a memorial, and asked the eunuch to take it back to the capital. By the way, the court was also wondering, was Ge Huaimin so stupid? Zheng Lang did not say bad things or good things, and he fairly told the story.

It is certain that Ge Huaimin has no idea of ​​being afraid to fight, but it is also certain that Ge Huaimin has a low talent and cannot lead troops to fight. Your Majesty, you should take back Cao Bin's armor earlier. There are many generals in the border areas who are qualified to wear it. Di Qing, Zhang Kang and others can do it, but Ge Huaimin does not have this qualification.

Seeing the imperial envoy leave, Sier jumped up happily and said, "Official, you are the minister of the government affairs."

"Si'er, you're too happy too early," Cui Xian said on the side.

"Madam, why?"

"Have you ever wondered why Han Qi stayed at my home when he returned to Qinzhou? There were inns in the city, and military camps outside the city. In terms of relationships, he and Yin Zhu walked closer to me than my officials. Why?"

"He values ​​my officials."

"Si'er, yes, he's interested in my official family."

The two of them have different meanings, and Sier was a little confused when she heard it.

"That night he talked a lot with the officials, and the battle was more about war and harmony. Sier, what happened before the defeat of Mizukawa?"

"Madam, he won't hate Fan..." Sier covered her mouth in fear.

"Officials have made the most contributions, but they are young. What can they do even if they enter the court? In the morning court, there were young officials, but they were all standing behind them. When the officials stood in front, they would feel their eyes pierced. The officials were not old enough, but Han Qi barely enough. The court would soon discuss peace with the people of Xixia, and all the ministers from all sides would recall them. Among them, the most outstanding ones were my officials, Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan, and Pang Ji. But the officials were too young, so what was done? They used the power of others to implement one thing... Do you know Han Qi's idea this time?"

"He wants to help him in the future..."

"Yes, be his helper, otherwise it would be difficult for him to fight Fan Zhongyan among the gentlemen. So he stayed at my house that night, had a heart-to-heart talk with the officials, and had a great time."

"So, it turns out..."

"It's not that he is afraid of being scheming, but if the Fan-Han dispute, and the gentleman-villain party and the villain party, what will the temple be like in the future? At this time, the official enters the center and serves as the real deputy minister of the country. Is it a good or a bad thing? Not only that, do you know Li Wengui."

"I know, I asked Pang Ji to invite him to Yanzhou. For this reason, Fan Zhongyan also wrote to the officials."

"This move is longer, Sier." Cui Xian said with a giggle. She started to fight in the middle, one by one is more capable!!!
