The imperial edict from Tokyo arrived, and Zeng Xiaokuan came with a quick horse. The son of the prime minister who could hardly ride a horse has now developed a masterpiece of horse skills in just a short time.

Those who followed the imperial edict were also the tiger talisman brought from the White Tiger Festival Hall of the Privy Council in Tokyo, and the northern troops were all under control and allowed to be mobilized by Gan Qi.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaokuan, and Zeng Xiang has worked hard. When you can go back to Beijing, you will definitely come to visit Zeng Xiang." Gan Qi took these things and also accepted the love of the Zeng family.

Zeng Xiaokuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty Gan doesn't have to be so polite. It's all a trivial matter. There are also the money allocated by the court on the way. I think you can get there in more than ten days. A total of 470,000 guan. Don't think that you are not too little. This was what Your Majesty spent a lot of effort to get, and 200,000 guan came from the inner treasury."

"It's not bad, it's unexpected to have so much money." Gan Qi said with a smile. In the Song Dynasty, the annual income of the year was 60 to 70 million yuan, and Gan Qi's income after the reform of commercial tax was barely around 100 million yuan.

But it does not mean that the Tokyo court has 100 million yuan in money that can be spent every year. The tax revenue from various places itself has to be spent in various places. For example, the salaries of officials and military officials and military officials, and the daily expenses in the yamen are paid directly. Secondly, the construction of bridges, roads and schools requires another expense, and there are also some laughter and disasters.

Only when there is a surplus in a wealthy place will it be handed over to the superiors. After the Transshipment Office has completed statistics, it will report to Tokyo and transport the surplus to the capital. Of course, there are also poor places or places with disasters. Naturally, it will not be enough to make ends meet and the court will subsidize it. Otherwise, the salary will not be paid. The Transshipment Office will also do this in the local area, transporting the money from the wealthy prefecture directly to the Qianzhou Prefecture.

Now the Song Dynasty was basically the situation where the south subsidized the north. It was not that the Central Plains of Henan and Hebei were poor, but that the Yellow River was flooded in recent years and there were too many floods. It also had to raise border troops. The entire Central China Plain was originally an extremely wealthy place, but now it is impossible to pay the money to the court.

As for the northwest, let alone the wars over the years, countless expenses were spent, and the court had to pay frequently.

After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, during the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was almost a turning point in China's economic situation. The economic center moved south, and since then the economic center never went north again. This situation continued to later generations.

From this perspective, Bianliang is a geographically good capital. It takes into account both the north and the south, not far from the northern border war zone, nor too far from the southern economic center. It is an important node connecting the north and the south. Obviously, there are reasons for this aspect of the prosperity of Bianliang.

After talking about the money, Zeng Xiaokuan said again: "God Gan, this time I have announced this imperial edict, I am not going to return to Beijing for the time being."

"Oh? I won't go back to Beijing?" Gan Qi hadn't reacted yet.

Zeng Xiaokuan said a little embarrassedly: "My father said that I have never seen any world since I grew up. I hope I can work hard under Gan Xianggong, have a long experience, and learn some ways to plan things with Gan Xianggong. Please don't dislike him."

Zeng Xiaokuan said this in a very low manner. The word "Something is a waste of time" is not something that literati would say easily, and it means self-deprecating.

This second-generation official is not simple. No wonder he can become the prime minister in the future.

"Xiao Kuan is so serious. Since Zeng Xiang has made such arrangements, how can I have something to say? Why don't you just follow me to do something like a documentary, knife and pen, and wait until you return to Beijing, and I will go to the official house to ask for an official position such as the Privy Council for the Imperial Order. How about it?" Gan Qi knew that it was appropriate to repay his kindness.

"I don't think much about official positions, I just want to follow Gan Xianggong and be a useful person in the future." Zeng Xiaokuan has always called himself a younger brother, but when it comes to age, Gan Qi is probably the younger brother.

"Okay, then that's it. I'll take office today. I'll help me draft some official documents and send them to Shaanxi and Qin Feng. I'll recruitment documents. For details, please ask Mr. Di." Gan Qi directly explained the job.

"There is now a job." Zeng Xiaokuan was really energetic and turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a moment, and another memorial to Tokyo. Please transfer Li Ding, the head of the Commercial and Tax Supervision Commission, to be the prefect of Xijin, and to Cai Que to judge the prefect of Xijin. There is also Confucius who will be appointed as the prefect of Zhuozhou. Feng Ziyu will be appointed as the prefect of Yizhou, Su Che will be appointed as the prefect of Tanzhou, Su Shi will be appointed as the prefect of Luanzhou, Chen Han... Chen Han seems to have no fame. His ancestors were founding meritorious deeds, and his father was also the prefect of Jing County. He was a solemn official and was sentenced to Datong. And..."

Gan Qi arranged for a walk to make a cake in Tokyo at this time, but the cake was made by Gan Qi, so he also had to divide it, just divide it into seven or eight places. There were still a bunch of people, and the qualifications were not enough. Returning to Beijing was in operation, and the judge and the referee had to get a bunch of them in hand.

If one person attains enlightenment, how can one not let a few more people ascend to immortality?

In the officialdom, it is necessary to serve in the local area, and to improve the grade in the local area, you can reuse it when you return to Beijing. Gan Qi wants to take advantage of his great achievements to make the future of many people well.

Zeng Xiaokuan was stunned when he heard this. He knew the names of these people, but he did not expect that Gan Qi had such a big appetite and asked for seven or eight official positions in one breath.

Unexpectedly, Gan Qi's appetite was not the same, and he said, "You ask Mr. Di again how the people in the army should be promoted. Please give him an opinion first. I will take a look at it before making a decision. Don't send the previous memorials first, and I will send them together after the military memorials."

Civil officials are going to be promoted, and those military officials who work hard must be promoted. Shi Honglei, Zhe Kexing and others are not an exaggeration to even upgrade several levels.

"Don't worry, my husband, I will do it properly at this time." Zeng Xiaokuan nodded in horror, but a little envy arose in his heart. He knew that if he didn't talk about others, he knew about Chen Han. Although Chen Han was a founding hero, now, Chen Han's family background is already 100,000 miles away from Zeng Xiaokuan. Chen Han's father Chen Li, but Chen Han's magistrate in a small county in the capital was not qualified to be grateful.

But as soon as Gan Qi spoke, he gave Chen Han's incest and went directly to Datong Prefecture to serve as a judge. Even Zeng Xiaokuan, who had a prime minister's father, was just a idle position in the Judicial Court that was too small to be even smaller. However, Chen Han got the seventh rank because he met Gan Qi.

Zeng Xiaokuan felt a little regretful at this moment, regretting why he didn't know Gan Qi earlier. If he had met Gan Qi earlier and had been working hard for Gan Qi, he might be able to take charge of the country at this time.

But I want to come back, but now it’s not bad. I’m going to be able to return to Beijing and the Privy Council will receive the order.

"I'm working hard." Gan Qi said politely.

Zeng Xiaokuan bowed and just arrived in Yanjing, he immediately started working. It was because Gan Qi was really short of staff, especially the literati who handled government affairs. Zeng Xiaokuan came at the right time.

Gan Qi couldn't help but think too much. The husband of Zeng made such a arrangement, but he actually knew that Gan Qi was short of people around him. But that was the case. It was not difficult to guess. Gan Qi suddenly had such a big business, so he naturally lacked people to do it.

Not long after, Di Yong also arrived in Yanjing. His father did not even go to see him. He immediately found Gan Qi and the two of them had a lot of talk.

After the secret conversation, Di Yong asked: "Brother, when will you do it?"

Gan Qi replied, "No hurry, there are not many soldiers available now. Prince Di is training the surrendered soldiers. Hedong has also drawn many young and strong soldiers. He has arrived in the past few days. The Wansheng Army is only more than 40,000, plus about 15,000 powerful troops. He has to divide his troops to guard the pass. After last month, when the training is almost over, go east to meet the Emperor of the Dayan Kingdom for a while. Let the matter in Luanzhou City ferment a little more, and you will take a risk."

Di Yong nodded and asked, "Brother, what am I doing recently?"

"You go and help Mr. Di train his troops and horses, and you will also directly bring thousands of troops in your hands. When the time comes, I will go back to the Privy Council and I will handle all the official duties and imperial edicts for you." Gan Qi is now easy to say about the military officer. With him as the Privy Councilor and Di Qing as the deputy Privy Councilor, it is no problem to arrange a military officer.

"Well, it's okay for me to help my father. He is older this year, no better than before. He works day and night. I'm really afraid that if he is a good person," Di Yong replied.

Looking at Di Yong's appearance, Gan Qi suddenly laughed and said, "After returning to Beijing, I will ask your sister-in-law to find a girl from a wealthy family in Beijing. If you don't marry, you should catch it in the yamen and make a board."

Di Yong blushed and said stubbornly: "My brothers are all married, and my elder brother has a son, so I am not the only one who has passed on the family line."

"You... are not so angry. You look down on ordinary people and always want to make achievements. Now it's not bad. The Di family will be regarded as a wealthy family and a wealthy family. You can choose from." Gan Qi knew Di Yong's previous situation, and Di Qing was in decline. Everyone was beating him in Tokyo. Which well-educated girl would marry Di Yong? Di Yong was unwilling to marry a small family who was not studying, illiterate, and music.

This time I go back to Beijing, as long as Gan Qi is in the court for one day, the Di family will be a wealthy family, and everyone is worthy of it, and no talented girl is a problem.

"Brother... I... am not so arrogant, I just don't care." Di Yong was still stubborn. The boy a few years ago is now becoming more handsome and heroic. If it weren't for Di Qing's reason, no girl from any household in Tokyo would have a refusal to see Di Yong.

"Now I'm so proud." Gan Qi smiled.

Di Yong didn't say anything.

"Go, go and talk about this with your father, just say it's on me." Gan Qi was also rewarding him. Not only did he repay Di Yong, but he also paid Di Qing.

Di Yong stood up and bowed, and the moment he turned around, he left a sentence: "Thank you brother."

Gan Qi smiled, but in fact he felt a sense of emotion and a sense of accomplishment.

Uh... there is also a sense of happiness.

The Liao army was actually well trained, at least compared with the Song army, it was better. Therefore, the surrendered soldiers of the Liao Kingdom, including those old and weak, were quite high in quality.

While busy with the affairs of Yanyun, Gan Qi also had to personally transform the ideological reform of these surrendered soldiers. The method of transformation was actually the same, and he practiced it to death, and then gave money, food and meat.

But this time, Gan Qi added something, that is, the propaganda of personality cults. The object of personality cult is naturally Gan Qi himself, which is very useful in this era.

The content of the publicity is nothing more than people talking about Gan Qi's past, adding fuel to the fire, Wenqu Star came to earth, Wuqu Star possessed her, passed the top scorer, became a great scholar, killed people in the street, led troops to fight countless battles, and had excellent martial arts skills. He led the army to fight the enemy in person, and won every battle.

Moreover, Guanyin Bodhisattva came to the world, how he loved soldiers like his sons, how he loved the people like his sons, how he was approachable.

Gan Xianggong, that is half of the things in heaven and everything underground is complete.

There are no ones who have never come before. They are clearly seen through the heaven and earth. Gods and Buddhas are unparalleled in the world. They are talented, elegant and suave, and invincible in the world!

Yes, our coach Gan Xianggong is such a perfect person!

Following Gan Xianggong's footsteps, your life will be a good life, a bright future, and a prosperous road are right in front of you.

"Grand Gun is here, Gan is here again..."

"Stand well, don't move around!"

"High straight..."

"Mr. Gan Xianggong is here to bring mutton to everyone!"

"Thank you, Mr. Gan!"

The perfect man stood on the platform with a gentle smile of spring breeze, looking at the line-up, waved his hand: "Brothers, I have worked hard, have a good meal today. Today there is not only mutton, but also wine. Today, the military camp made an exception and drank it openly."

"Thank you, Mr. Gan!"

"Gan Xianggong has won thousands of victories!"

"I also invited a local miscellaneous opera troupe to stage this stage in the afternoon. Everyone remember to watch it." Gan Xianggong was very cunning, Di Qing was very strict every day, pretending to be a black face. When Gan Qi came, he was a head coach with a red face, ten thousand times better than General Di.

Cheers were heard all over the audience.

Di Qing cursed with a strong face: "The sounds are forbidden to me, and the commander's speech in the military camp is so noisy, how can it be?"

Gan Qi also smiled and raised his hand to stop Di Qing: "Forget it, I have been training for many days, I have worked hard and exhausted, so I have a day off."

Di Qing said angrily: "These puppies practice cheating and cheating every day, so they should not rest."

"Eye Di Gong calms down, even if it depends on my face, he will calm down."

"If Mr. Gan had not come today, they would have to be punished to run twenty miles each today."

This old and a young man are really good at cooperating.

"Thank you, Mr. Gan."

"Thank you, Mr. Gan."

"Eat meat, drink wine, watch the show..."

"It's still Gan Xianggong loves soldiers like his son!"

"No, only when Mr. Gan comes can you have a good life."

"I have to go home and give Gan Xiang a tablet of immortality, and I will pay a prayer every day."

"I don't know how many lifetimes I have been blessed with being able to join the army under the command of Gan Xianggong!"

"The ancestral tombs are full of smoke."

...

I have to say that I really have a good idea of ​​being a perfect man.

In fact, Gan Qi didn't know that in private, many military soldiers who had previously followed Gan Qi to Xiongzhou actually began to call themselves the Gan family army.

This is a good thing, but it is actually a bad thing.
