Almost every morning, the five hundred female soldiers will run three laps along the martial arts field, and then return to the women's barracks to continue training.

In the morning, Hu Qing'er trotted all the way to the big tent of the Chinese army, and the soldiers outside the tent saluted her, and then reported: "Qi Yu commands, General Hu is here!" ”

"Please let her in!"

Hu Qing'er lifted the curtain and walked into the big tent, only to see that in the big tent, the coach Li Yanqing was talking to Liu Fang, who had joined the army, Hu Qing'er stepped forward and saluted, "See the system!" ”

"Come and sit down!" Li Yanqing smiled and beckoned to her.

Hu Qing'er stepped forward and sat down, and Li Yanqing asked with concern, "How are the female soldiers trained?" ”

Hu Qing'er bowed and said: "Back to the system, the adaptation is very fast, only three days, they are completely adapted to the life of the barracks, and the female soldiers are very disciplined, and no one is late for morning exercises." ”

Li Yanqing thought about it and asked with a smile: "How is a female soldier named Zhu Feng doing?" ”

'Zhu Feng? Hu Qing'er was stunned, "Does the system know her?" ”

"It's not that I know, I went to inspect the registration that day, and I happened to see her being admitted, a very filial little lady."

"She performed very well, she is now the first fire team in the fifth team, and ten of their female soldiers were on yesterday's training list, and each of them was rewarded with 100 cents."

Li Yanqing nodded and said: "Everyone has a very good evaluation of female soldiers, I suggest that you can pull out to run, after all, the women's barracks are a little smaller, and pulling out to run is good for body and mind." ”

"The lowly job understands, and in a few days, the lowly job will take them out for training."

Li Yanqing then turned the topic back, "I came to you, there is a task entrusted to the women's battalion to do." ”

"Please give the order!"

"Let Liu join the army and tell you about the situation first!"

Liu Fang said with a smile on the side: "That's the case, I have negotiated with Qiao's firm to sell 200,000 sheepskins to Qiao's firm, and collect 400,000 yuan, but Qiao's firm promised to pay in silver, according to the current market price of one tael of silver for 1,500 yuan, about 205,000 taels of silver, Qiao's firm promised to pay us in three installments, and pay 100,000 taels of silver for the first time at noon tomorrow, and the delivery location is at the Weihe wharf, and we will send 100,000 sheepskins over at the same time." ”

"So what do you need our female soldiers to do?"

"Go get some money!"

Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "You take fifty female soldiers to count the silver, and the male soldiers are responsible for transporting it, but you are responsible for counting the 100,000 taels of silver, and in addition, you have to assist them in counting the sheepskins, this is the first transaction, and both sides are more cautious." ”

"But why do you have to go with a female soldier?" Hu Qing'er asked puzzled.

"This is the request of the other party, they are a little afraid of the army, and it is slightly better for the female soldiers to assist."

"I understand, tomorrow I will wait for the notice of Liu joining the army, we can leave at any time!"

"There's nothing else, you go back to the camp first!"

Hu Qing'er got up to leave, Li Yanqing remembered something, and said: "Yun Niang asked you to go back to dinner at night, you can take the time to go back and take a look!" ”

"I see!" Hu Qing'er saluted and left quickly.

At this time, Liu Fang smiled slightly: "Tongzhi should consider finding another deputy general for Sanniang, she is in charge of the women's barracks alone, and it is inconvenient in many places." ”

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Thank you for the reminder to join the army, I will pay attention!" ”

At this time, the soldiers outside the tent reported: "Qi Yu commanded, a businessman surnamed Qiao came from outside the camp, saying that he was looking for you in an emergency." ”

Li Yanqing and Liu Fang glanced at each other, this must be Qiao Zhong'an, the two of them hurriedly got up and walked quickly outside the camp.

Walking to the front of the camp gate, I saw an ox cart parked outside the camp gate, Qiao Zhongan was pacing back and forth with his hands in his hands, and Li Yanqing hurriedly greeted him, "What is the urgency of the second proprietor looking for me?" ”

Qiao Zhongan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I have an important message to tell you?" ”

"What's the news?"

Qiao Zhongan lowered his voice and said, "I just got the Flying Eagle Transmission from Xingqing Mansion, and Western Xia has officially surrendered to the Jin Kingdom!" ”

..........

The surrender of the Western Xia to the Jin State was undoubtedly a major event that shook the pattern of the world, which meant that the pattern of the Three Kingdoms maintained by the Song, Liao, and Xia for a hundred years was completely broken.

The Liao State no longer existed, and the rising upstart Jin State replaced the Liao, and at a time when many people thought that the new Three Kingdoms balance was about to be established, some people with keen insight realized that the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty was coming.

The Emperor of Jin has sat firmly on the dragon chair, the instability in the west has been swept away, and the next step must be the southern expedition.

The most obvious reaction was that the land price in Suzhou and Hangzhou suddenly doubled, and the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty began to tilt to the southeast.

At night, the privy envoy Gao Yu paced back and forth in the study with a heavy heart, he has been the prime minister since the beginning of the year for almost half a year, and has been living smoothly, but when the news of the surrender of Western Xia to the Jin State came, Gao Yu knew that his comfortable life was over.

Gao Yu knew very well in his heart that the Jin State was not the Liao State, the Liao State was in the twilight, and he had long lost the spirit to attack the Song Dynasty, but the Jin State was a tiger that had just grown up, and the tiger had no reason not to eat meat, not to mention that the old wolf master of the Jin State died in Yanshan Mansion, how could the Jurchens not take revenge for this revenge?

But the official family believed in the Song-Jin alliance and insisted that the Jin State would not have any attempt to attack the Song Dynasty, and the guys in the Zhizheng Hall also held this argument, so I don't know if they are really stupid or pretending to be stupid?

Gao Yu sighed, his eyes fell on a scroll on the table, this was also another thing that annoyed him, Li Yanqing asked for the Jingchuan silver mine to be allocated to the Jingzhao Army for military expenses, Gao Yu is also the person who leads the troops, of course he knows what the monthly military burden of five thousand recruits is, and without a source of military expenses, how can Li Yanqing afford it?

Guo Yaoshi of Yanshan Mansion also recruited 20,000 recruits, but the Son of Heaven gave him the right to mint money, but Jing Zhaojun did not have any income, which was obviously unfair.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the son's voice, "Father, the child is back." ”

"Come on in!"

The door opened, and Gao Yanei walked in from the outside, he was ordered by his father to see Liang Qiu and inquire about Liang Shicheng's attitude.

"What did Liang Shicheng say?"

"Liang Qiu said that Li Daqi had already found his father and told his father about it."

"I know this, what is Liang Shicheng's attitude?"

Liang Qiu said...... His father said he would not be involved, and the child did not understand what he meant. ”

Gao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That is to say, Liang Shicheng acquiesced to me operating this matter for Li Yanqing, and he will not interfere." ”

"Didn't my father repay the favor of the Cao family before? Why do you have to do such a for Li Yanqing? Gao Ya was really a little unhappy in his heart.

Gao Yu shook his head, "Those things can be done at a high level, is it necessary for him to ask me for help?" ”

"The child doesn't understand?"

Gao Yu sighed slightly, "Although Li Yanqing is young, the city government is very deep, and he didn't put forward the real conditions in the New Year, because he was worried that he would annoy Liang Shicheng, and he didn't dare to have too deep contact with me before communicating with Liang Shicheng, so he asked his father to meet Liang Shicheng first, and only asked me to help after getting Liang Shicheng's tacit consent, otherwise he would not be able to stay in Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Gao Ya didn't say anything for a while, Gao Yu glanced at him, "You wonder why I'm so enthusiastic about helping him, right?" ”

Gao Yanei nodded, "The child doesn't understand a little. ”

Gao Yu took a few steps and said: "On the surface, I am returning the favor, but in fact, I want to pull him into my faction, don't look at Tong Guan There seems to be no movement, that is an illusion, he has been secretly dealing with Guo Yaoshi and Yao Pingzhong, how did Guo Yaoshi get the right to mint money?" Isn't it what Tong Guan helped him get through Wang Hao? There is also Yao Pingzhong's son who has no merit and no virtue and was promoted to general, do you think Tong Guan didn't help him? You get the idea! Helping Li Yanqing is actually helping myself. ”

Gao Yanei nodded, "The child understands!" ”

After a pause, he added, "It's just that the silver mine is not easy to operate." ”

Gao Yu smiled slightly, "If it is usual, I am indeed not easy to operate, but now I have a chance, I will go and talk to the official family tomorrow." ”
