Shangqing Baozhu Palace.

Zhao Ji read the list given by Li Yan and was furious, "Greedy! He is simply greedy!"

Zhao Ji walked around and said

"Two thousand students! How do you need so many students in the small two counties? He is clearly a reserve talent. What do he want to do?"

"Those three dragon bones were used by me to build dragon boats and water palaces. Li Yan dared to fight them even if they were careful. Damn it!"

"If the iron bars are 500,000 pounds, 100,000 pounds of cow horns, 100,000 pounds of cow skin, 50,000 pounds of cow tendon, 100,000 sheepskin, 2 million arrows and 5 million feathers are blocked. If these military supplies are given to him in full, our Song Dynasty will have at least 20 or 30% of the accumulated over the past 100,000 soldiers and horses. Can we use so many military supplies in the two small counties?"

"The craftsman and the boatman are three thousand each. If I remember correctly, he should have asked me for two thousand craftsmen and one thousand boatman. Why do I have to do it? And so much? Where can I get to get so many craftsmen and boatman for him!"

"Zhang Shou, I Zhixue, Xin Ze, Qiu Qiwei, Zu Cheng, Hou Zhixue, Wenhe, Wenren Xingteng,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

When Zhao Ji finished speaking, Cai You said, "Li Yan wants to go to war with Qin Feng and Goryeo. Tai Feng has 140,000 elite soldiers and 300,000, and Goryeo has 270,000 elite soldiers and 80,000, and 500,000 elite soldiers and 500,000. Li Yan has only more than 100,000 troops and half of them are new recruits. He feels that he can't beat Tai Feng and Goryeo, so he wants to ask the officials for some generals and schools to expand the strength of the Andong Protectorate. Zhang Shou and others don't even have the commander-level generals. Wei Chen thinks that our Song Dynasty has 800,000 imperial guards and more than one million troops, not less than these 180 generals and schools. If General Liu Wei is in need of General Liu Wei, it is possible that the Dong'an Protectorate lacks a general in command. You know that Li Yan is from a turbulent family. Although he can fight, he has not been passed down through the generals. He has brought 30,000 to 50,000 people. Maybe he is not able to do so. If Zhang Shuye, Zhang Xiaochun, Zhan Du, Chen Gou, Zhao Li and others are probably the ones who are in charge of governing the two counties, they should be because Lelang and Zhenfan County do not have great talent management. Zong Ze, Li Gang, Li Guang and others are all crazy people who do not know the sufferings of the people, so they sent them to Andong Protectorate to make Li Yan feel happy."

"snort!"

Zhao Ji hummed and said, "You are so light-hearted. Giving Li Yan so many talents will definitely strengthen Li Yan. What should I do if I can't get rid of the big tail?"

Cai You said, "Li Yan is willing to offer 50 million yuan to the official family, how could he have no requests?"

"How many?" Zhao Ji thought he had heard it wrong!

Cai You's waist was slightly raised and said, "Five millions of coins."

Zhao Ji was overjoyed and said, "Will Li Yan give me 50 million coins?"

If Zhao Ji was not the emperor, Cai You said sincerely, "Why are you so big? Li Yan is so proud to give you 50 million yuan!" Unfortunately, Zhao Ji is the emperor, so Cai You could only say, "It was Wei's minister who was right and moved to him with affection, so he reluctantly agreed. However, he told Wei's minister privately that if he did not give him people, things, Lelang, and Zhenfan County, it is very likely that he would be robbed back by Gaoli and Taifeng. Wei's minister estimated that he might have spent such a large price to strengthen the Anton Protectorate because he was not sure to resist the attacks of Taifeng and Gaoli."

Zhao Ji said, "Is he going to cultivate the party and make private contributions?"

Cai You said for Li Yan, "He is alone overseas, and you can't take care of him at the moment. If he doesn't think of a solution by himself, the two counties that he finally captured will probably be snatched back by Gaoli and Taifeng."

Zhao Ji also knew that Cai You was right, and he was almost driven crazy by money now, so he said, "Did Li Yan give me all the gold, silver and copper coins?"

Cai You said, "How could he take out so much gold, silver and copper coins?"

Zhao Ji's voice became cold and said, "Dare you dare to deceive the emperor?"

Cai You hurriedly said, "Please report to the official family!"

Zhao Ji said, "Tell me!"

Cai You said, "Li Yan turned the treasury down, and only collected 17 million guan of gold, silver and copper coins, and 15 million guan of glass and soap. He wanted to use antique calligraphy and painting as the others."

Zhao Ji said disdainfully, "What good antique calligraphy and painting can he have!"

Cai You said, "You don't know anything about the official family, Li Yan really has a lot of good things."

Zhao Ji picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, saying, "Oh, then you can tell me, what good things do he have?"

Cai You said, "This first thing was from Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty."

Zhao Ji was stunned and asked, "Real?"

Cai You said, "It should be the authentic product. This is what Li Yan got from the Goryeo Palace. I heard it is the favorite of Goryeo King Wang Yama."

After hearing this, Zhao Ji immediately said, "Take it here and let me see!"

Cai You reminded carefully, "This painting is still in Li Yan's hands."

Zhao Ji hurriedly asked, "How can I get this painting?"

Cai You said, "Li Yan said that this painting is worth 600,000 yuan."

Zhao Ji was surprised and said, "Only 600,000 yuan? Does Li Yan understand the value of this painting? If this painting is an authentic work, it is a priceless treasure!"

Cai You said, "How can Li Yan know the value? He is not a big shot like you in the official family."

Zhao Ji said loudly, "You must not keep this painting in his hands. It's simply a violent deception!"

Cai You took the opportunity to say, "So the official family must take these treasures back and collect them in person no matter what!"

Zhao Ji asked, "What else is good for him? Let's talk about it together."

Cai You said, "Han Huan, Wang Xizhi, Liu Gongquan, Yan Zhenqing..."

Zhao Ji couldn't help but interrupt Cai You and said, "Where did Li Yan get so many good things? Wang Xizhi's original works, not even I!"

Cai You said, "It is normal for Goryeo to follow our Song Dynasty in everything. Some precious calligraphy and paintings are also very good. Li Yan got half of Goryeo's wealth and even conquered the Goryeo Palace. Some of these treasures are reasonable."

Cai You observed Zhao Ji's expression and said, "I told Li Yan that it is okay to use antique calligraphy and paintings to pay for money, but it must be the best. He agreed and promised that it was all low."
