Fan Ning sent a brief pigeon letter to the overseas envoy on the second day of the total annihilation of the Yuguo army, Di Qing saw that the matter was very important, and did not delay for a moment, and immediately sent 100,000 people to the Privy Council in the capital, this urgent pigeon letter was placed in the imperial case of Zhao Zhen, the son of heaven, including the original and the transcript.

Fanning wrote more than a hundred words on a small scroll of paper, which was extremely concise, but very informative.

The reason for sending troops is that the Abe family asked for help, and the excuse for sending troops is that the Kiyohara family provoked civil strife in Kunzhou, targeting local wealthy families, and has nothing to do with the Japanese court, and the result of sending troops was to annihilate 6,000 enemy troops with 2,000 soldiers, only 18 people were killed, and less than 100 people were wounded.

Zhao Zhen read the report with a solemn expression, and it wasn't until the amount of gold and silver that jumped out made a smile bloom on his face.

Zhao Zhen closed the pigeon letter report, and immediately ordered: "Quickly invite Xianggong Wen, Xianggong Fu and Han Shumi to come and see me quickly!" ”

Immediately a eunuch went to deliver the message, Zhao Zhen paced back and forth in the imperial study with his hands, frankly speaking, Fanning's approach was still a bit reckless, and he should not be so easily involved in the civil war of other countries, although the reason was magnificent, but in fact he still did a thing that lost the identity of a great power, how could the dignified Celestial Empire use the means of sneak attack to fight without declaring, how should it be repeatedly warned to the Japanese court before sending troops, saluting first and then soldiers is what the Celestial Empire should do.

Although Zhao Zhen gave Fan Ning the power to handle relations with Japan on his own, Fan Ning really sent troops without going through the imperial court, which still made Zhao Zhen a little dissatisfied, giving you power is a trust in you, but it does not mean that you can use this power as you like.

However, being able to seize such a huge amount of gold and silver through this battle greatly diluted Zhao Zhen's dissatisfaction with Fanning, and he even suspected that Fanning was not telling the truth, everything was an excuse, and seizing gold and silver was his real goal.

If this is the case, Zhao Zhen can forgive Fan Ning's recklessness, the financial constraints of the imperial court make Zhao Zhen's life also sad, and he overspends every year, and the annual expenditure matters make the imperial court anxious, and the annual financial overexpenditure reaches 12 million yuan.

The imperial court had to increase taxes, raise the price of salt, wine, tea, etc., and transfer the overspending to the people, resulting in boiling public resentment, and the compression of military spending led to the meager military income of the soldiers at the bottom, unable to support their families, and even a serious situation of soldiers' wives going to prostitution houses to sell themselves.

Although Fan Ning has done a lot of excessive things, he can earn a lot of gold and silver for the imperial court and transport a lot of grain, which is a great credit to the community, and after weighing it for a long time, Zhao Zhen finally made an evaluation of Fan Ning's behavior in his heart, and the merits and demerits are offset by the merits, and the merits outweigh the demerits.

At this time, the eunuch said at the door: "Your Majesty, the three prime ministers have arrived!" ”

"Let them in!"

After a while, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi and Han Qi walked into the imperial study, bowed down and saluted, "See Your Majesty!" ”

"Three Aiqing are exempt!"

Zhao Zhen instructed the eunuchs on the left and right, "Bring chairs to the ministers!" ”

Several eunuchs hurriedly brought three chairs and sat down for the three ministers.

Zhao Zhen handed the copy of Fan Ning's pigeon letter to Wen Yanbo, "Take a look!" Kunzhou's urgent letter, a big incident happened over there. ”

After reading the pigeon letter, Wen Yanbo was immediately dissatisfied: "It's just nonsense, how can he do this without the permission of the imperial court to send troops to Japan without permission?" Your Majesty, Fanning is too arbitrary and not suitable to sit in Kunzhou, so he must be transferred back as soon as possible. ”

"I also feel that he is too young after all, and he does not grasp some major principles of the imperial court very accurately, but this time the dispatch of troops is indeed debatable, what does Fu Xianggong think?" Zhao Zhen asked Fu Bi again.

Fu Bi also finished reading the pigeon letter, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he said for a while: "The key is how to determine the nature?" The meaning of the pigeon letter does not seem to be to declare war on Japan, but to attack local wealthy families, and Weichen does not understand the situation in Japan very well, so it is difficult to draw conclusions easily. ”

"What about Han Xianggong?" Zhao Zhen's gaze turned to Han Qi again.

Han Qi and Zhao Zhongzhong had an excellent relationship, and he knew Kunzhou and the surrounding situation well, so he bowed slightly and said, "Weichen supports Fan Zhizhou's behavior in principle!" ”

Wen Yanbo glanced at Han Qi dissatisfiedly and asked, "Why did Han Xianggong say this?" ”

Han Qi smiled slightly: "Fan Ning said very clearly, his purpose is to establish a strategic buffer for Kunzhou, if Japan wants to fight Kunzhou, it must first take Akita City, which gives Kunzhou room for early warning, and can deal with it calmly, if there is no such stronghold in Japan, it will be easy for the Japanese army to sneak attack Kunzhou, Fan Zhizhou's move is indeed to lay the foundation for the long-term rule of the Great Song Dynasty in Kunzhou, of course, he acted inappropriately, it seems to be more reckless."

However, this incident happened as soon as he returned to Kunzhou, which also shows that the matter came relatively suddenly, which may have made him too late to ask the imperial court, Weichen also led troops, and knew that the fighter plane was fleeting, and Kunzhou came and went to the Great Song Dynasty for at least three months, and there were no fighters, and he was able to report in time after the war, which showed that he still understood the rules of the imperial court, and did not act rashly. ”

At this time, Fu Bi also smiled and said: "To be honest, he got so much gold and silver for the imperial court, which will greatly ease the finances of the imperial court, which makes my eyes shine!" ”

When it came to 3.3 million taels of gold and 8 million taels of silver, the atmosphere in the imperial study room was obviously relaxed, and even Wen Yanbo, who was dissatisfied, had to admit that these gold and silver were too helpful to the imperial court.

Wen Yanbo softened his cheeks slightly, and said in a soothing tone as much as possible: "Of course, Fan Ning is concerned about the plight of the imperial court, and can solve problems for the imperial court in a timely manner, is loyal and commendable, and has contributed to the community, which I must also recognize." ”

"Then does Wen Xianggong think that Fanning's actions are worth the merits, or are the merits greater than the faults?" Zhao Zhen continued to ask.

Wen Yanbo is not Zhang Yaozuo after all, although he is angry for a while, he has no opinion on Fan Ning himself, which can be regarded as the right thing and not the right person.

He muttered for a while and said: "The merits and demerits are almost offset, but it depends on whether his merits are greater than his demerits, and Weichen feels that he should still send an envoy to Kunzhou to investigate before he can make a final conclusion." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, "I personally tend to have more merit than demerit at present, but I will not be able to further determine it until the official report arrives."

However, I also agreed with Wen Xianggong's suggestion, this matter is very important, and it is indeed necessary to send a special envoy to Kunzhou to investigate this matter, whether the reward should be punished or not, the imperial court should finally have a conclusion. ”

Han Qi immediately bowed down and said, "The old minister has always wanted to go to Kunzhou to have a look, and I beg that this opportunity must be given to the old minister!" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled happily, "Since Han Xianggong took the initiative to ask for help, then it will be hard for Han Xianggong to go to Kunzhou." ”

After a pause, Zhao Zhen said again: "In addition, Fan Ning asked for an additional thousand troops, and I agreed, and Han Xianggong can lead the army there." ”

Fu Bi bowed down again and said, "Is it not to wait for the official report to arrive before Han Xianggong goes to Kunzhou to investigate?" ”

"That's not necessary, Fanning's official report will not affect the investigation of the imperial court, these are two lines, Han Xianggong can get up as soon as possible."

"Wechen obeys!"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "This is the first thing I asked the three ministers to talk about, and the second thing, I thought about it, can I use the gold and silver sent by Kunzhou this time as the capital to gradually issue three times the amount of Jiaozi to the world, what is the opinion of the three ministers?" ”

The issuance of Jiaozi is not Zhao Zhen's hot-headedness, in fact, since the emergence of Jiaozi in the Bashu area, the convenience and low cost of paper money have attracted more and more attention, but on the other hand, private guarantees are also easy to make Jiaozi run on the crisis.

The imperial court soon discovered the convenience and risk of paper money, and the right to issue currency was in the central imperial court, how could the sixteen money shops in Bashu allow the issuance of currency?

The imperial court first forbade Jiaozi to circulate outside Bashu, and secondly, the imperial court also tried to issue paper money, that is, Guanjiaozi, which was mainly circulated in the capital and the Jiangnan region.

The imperial court has long realized that Jiaozi cannot be issued out of thin air, and it must have the capital to issue Jiaozi, such as the corresponding copper ingots, silver or gold.

The million taels of gold sent by Kunzhou have been stored in the Zuo Treasury before, and this time another 3.3 million taels of gold will be sent, bringing the total number of gold to more than 4 million taels and nearly 10 million taels of silver.

How to use this huge wealth has always been something that Zhao Zhen has repeatedly considered, and it is obviously unrealistic to put them directly into the market, so using them as the capital to issue official posts has undoubtedly become the best choice.

The three Xiangguo pondered for a moment, Wen Yanbo said slowly: "In principle, it is feasible, but it is necessary to master a degree, if too much is issued, it will cause a flood of Jiaozi and cause prices to skyrocket, Weichen means that on the one hand, take back inferior coins, such as iron money, big money, etc., and then issue Jiaozi simultaneously, and try to lower the value of the currency, so that the impact on the people at the bottom will be much smaller." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, "I just put forward a general opinion, how to do it specifically, Xianggong Wen and Xianggong Fu can convene the relevant ministers to discuss it, be cautious and prudent." ”

Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi bowed together, "Weichen obeys!" ”
