Chapter 98
Because Xu Ping insisted on giving a one-time reward for the relocation of officials in the Battle of Sanduchuan, so as not to cause dissatisfaction among the army, the Privy Council, the Third Class Court, the Judicial Office and other yamen were busy for more than a month, and the edict of the relocation of officials arrived in Qinzhou.
The general principle is that those who have made meritorious move to two to five levels, those with low officials have more ranks and fewer ranks. Xu Ping was promoted from the Duke of Luhai Jiedu, the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the Founding Duke of Linru County. Sang Yi was appointed as the governor of Jiangzhou. Gao Daquan and Zhang Kang were transferred to the third level, and led the defensive censor of the Xiongzhou of Yao County. Jingtai entered the Hengban and was appointed as the deputy envoy of Rujing.
Yao County does not have a title in this state, and most of them take good-sounding state names such as Zhong, Kang, Xiong, Rong, and Ji, and their posts are uncertain. The general rule is that border generals use Xiongzhou, Zhongzhou, royal relatives use Rongzhou, and medical officials use Kangzhou. If the promotion order of Yao County officials is calculated in detail, it will reach hundreds, and it is impossible to be promoted step by step. This stage is actually quite rough.
Yang Wenguang and Jia Kui were each promoted to the fifth rank, and were the two people who were promoted the fastest in this battle. Yang Wenguang was promoted from the third rank to the Western Envoy, while Jia Kui was promoted from Sanzhi to the Zuo Ban Dianzhi. Not long ago, Di Qing in Yanzhou had just moved to the fourth rank due to his military achievements and was promoted to the right rank, but instead fell behind Jia Kui.
It was the twelfth month of this time, and the imperial edict arrived in Qinzhou. Everyone was promoted and made a fortune, and happily prepared to welcome the New Year.
Xingqing Prefecture, located in the hinterland of Dangxiang, does not have much flavor of the New Year. For herders, winter is the most difficult time. When the weather is cold, the land will freeze to death. In the spring of the next year, I don’t know how much wealth you can leave, so I have no thoughts.
Zhang Yuan, with five or six followers, wore fur cloaks, swayed out of the mansion. At this time, the heavy snow was clear, and it was white on the ground, making a squeaking sound when stepping on the snow.
When he arrived at the largest restaurant in the city, the servant in front of the door responded quickly and bowed and said, "How can you have free time today? A new kind of good spirits came to the store today. It was a coincidence that the adults came!"
Zhang Yuan stomped his feet, knocked off the snowflakes on his shoes, and asked casually: "Does the wine come from Song Dynasty? The strong wine we brew here only has one word, no taste, but it can't be eaten!"
The servant laughed and said, "Sir, the wine is transported from Bianliang City, and it is truly a famous wine!"
Zhang Yuan nodded: "Okay, take two bottles, I want to have a banquet today. Also, choose a pavilion next to the window, and all around it must be empty, so no other guests are allowed. If you do well, I will reward you!"
The servant agreed and called another person to give orders, leading the way to lead Zhang Yuan upstairs.
Li Zhongtan, Tong Dalang and Yan Yuchi walked on the road. Seeing Tong Dalang's face turned gloomy, he said to him: "Brother, we are just asking for money from Dangxiang people, why are you bored? Help them do something and receive their own rewards, not fighting against the court."
Tong Dalang sighed: "I committed the crime of beheading in Song Realm. I came here just to ask for peace. I would never have thought that I would have been attracted by you again and again. If I had known this, I would have not come here. Even if the incident happened, I would have only cut the scars as big as a bowl. If I accidentally fell into your trap and did things for the other people, wouldn't it be a burying my ancestors!"
"We are just seeking money and do not serve as a military service for the Dangxiang people, so we will bury our ancestors in any place! Brother, in a foreign country, only our own people are reliable, just think that it is better to make some money for people and make some money? In the Dangxiang country, there are more Han people who do things for foreign people, and many of them have become high-ranking officials. What are we?"
After hearing Li Zhongtan's words, Tong Dalang sneered and shook his head: "High-ranking official? Are you talking about that guy Zhang Yuan? He is just a loyal dog who helped Yuan Hao get money, and he dares to be a high-ranking official!"
Li Zhongtan was startled and looked around. There were no pedestrians around. Then he carefully said to Tong Dalang: "Brother, although the foreigners are not very evasive, you are so unscrupulous and will cause trouble!"
After saying that, he was afraid that Tong Dalang would say anything else that was against the taboo, so he shut up and stopped talking.
Tong Dalang actually did not need to participate in the issuance of banknotes for Dangxiang. Although he helped others manage the company for a long time, he was actually just a puppet and could roughly understand the accounts. It was just that Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao were favored in front of Yuanhao, especially Zhang Yuan, who climbed to the Zhang family with real power in Dangxiang, which was very popular. Working with them, Li Zhongtan was afraid that he would be cheated, so he was at least at ease with Kong Wu's powerful Tong Dalang.
When he arrived at the restaurant, the servant led the pavilion to Zhang Yuan. Li Zhongtan saluted Zhang Yuan and said, "I am in a good mood recently. I think I must be the one who has won the holy favor and has a bright future!"
Tong Dalang on the side snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "We Han people, only my father calls you an adult. Are you a thief as your father?"
Li Zhongtan looked embarrassed and said, "When you go to the countryside, why bother with me, brother?!"
Even though he said this, he no longer called Zhang Yuan an adult, but just called him a husband.
Yuan Hao established the country, and most of the official system was imitated by the Song Dynasty. The literary troupe was returned to the Zhongshu, the martial troupe was returned to the Shumi, the Fansansans, the Censorate, Kaifeng Prefecture, etc. Zhang Yuan was appointed by Yuan Hao as the Zhongshu Order, and was specially in charge of printing paper money, and was issued after the New Year.
The Secretariat Ling was a very large official, and was originally the prime minister. The Song Dynasty had only his name and no longer had his title. But this was not the case with Dangxiang. In name, this was the chief minister of the Secretariat, and all the civil officials were under the jurisdiction of the Secretariat, but in fact it was not the case. Yuan Hao only set up these official positions in the early Song system, and the state system could not change at all. The real person in charge was appointed by him. The Secretariat Ling Dangxiang was also called the prime minister and the grandfather, which was learned from the Song Dynasty. His actual duties were along the history of the former governor of Xiazhou, and he was just a middle and lower-level official who managed the documents. Zhang Yuan did not even have the qualifications to discuss matters with Yuanhao.
No matter what the reality is, Zhang Yuan regards himself as a prime minister in daily life, especially when he treats people he knows, as if he is a prime minister. However, he can use Tong Dalang at this time. Although he repeatedly sarcasticly, Zhang Yuan only pretends not to hear it.
The guest and host took a seat. Zhang Yuan ordered the wine to be poured, raised his glass and said, "This is a good spirit from Kaifeng Mansion of the Song Dynasty. It is priced at gold here, but idle people can't drink it. Our friendship is not as good as others, just drink a glass!"
Tong Dalang couldn't help it when he smelled the wine. After hearing this, he was not polite. He drank it in one sip and picked up the pot and poured it all over.
After drinking a few drinks, Zhang Yuan said to Tong Dalang: "Tong Da, you have also heard that I was entrusted by the king to issue banknotes from Dangxiang. This year, the military prospered and cost a lot. The Song Dynasty cut off its borders. Only by taking some money in this way can the war continue."
Tong Dalang said: "You are now an official of a foreigner. Isn't it a chance to get promoted and make money? Just do it yourself, why come to us? I, a damn prisoner, can't understand these things?"
Zhang Yuan didn't care and said with a smile: "No matter how much I don't understand, I know that just printing money can only make money from the people. The Party and Xiang are not as good as the Central Plains, the land is barren and the people are poor, and they will talk about their lives and cause big troubles. According to the Song Dynasty, they should also start a company. Only you know this kind of thing best. Tongda, no matter what you think, it is a good opportunity for us to make money. People die for money and birds die for food. For the sake of yellow and white things, you should let go of your prejudices and earn real money and silver into your hands. As long as you support it for two or three years, you will be rich for a lifetime."
