I grabbed the golden burqa and turned around, sat on the dragon chaise and said, "All the Lords."

"Long live thanks."

"Preach the edict." I said to Xiaodouzi

Xiao Douzi bowed to me a little, shook the whisk in his hand, opened the imperial edict, and said loudly according to my newly designated imperial edict format: "In accordance with the heavens, the emperor's edict said: I am the emperor's expedition to the west and defeated Xixia. Now I will collect the entire Xixia territory and the lost land in Longyou during the late emperor. Here, I will draw new territory into Hetao South Road, Gansu Road, Longyou Road. Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, and Hedong Road Mazheng are all cancelled, and Hetao South Road is changed to pastoral areas. Grain crop production is cancelled by herding cattle, horses, alpacas, Gansu Road, and Longyou Road. The land of the two routes is replaced by planting economic crops such as cotton, rhubarb, wolfberry, and licorice. The taxes for these three routes are exempted from the three years to nourish people's livelihood. I am here."

After Xiao Douzi finished reading the first imperial edict, before the ministers began to digest the imperial edict, I walked down Danbi and said to the ministers: "Although these three roads, especially Gansu Road and Longyou Road, are not suitable for growing grain, can you know, are there anything in Gansu and Qinghai? Liu Aiqing of the Ministry of Revenue, you are the Minister of Revenue, tell me."

"This... I only know that the Western Xia Dahuang is very famous. I am really ashamed of the rest. That is, I just heard these in the emperor's imperial edict." Liu Shihai said with shame on his face.

I waved Liu Shihai to retreat to the class and then asked, "Who is a beloved person who knows that you can talk about anything, let's focus on your thoughts."

I asked a question and saw that no one answered my question, so I said to Wu Yong: "Wu Aiqing, I thought of the land conditions of these three routes and the conditions of agricultural products that I asked you to record."

"I obey the order." Wu Yong opened a book and read aloud: "The land in Xixia is barren and not suitable for farming. However, in the past, the Xia kings vigorously cultivated the land, resulting in the loss of land fertility and extremely serious land desertification. However, in my opinion, although the land in Gansu and Qinghai are barren, they are a good cotton production area. The climate, land, humidity and moisture of the Xixia are extremely suitable for the cultivation of soybeans, rhubarbs, wolfberry, red dates, licorice and other economic crops. The environment is also very suitable for the growth of Cordyceps sinensis. The entire Longyou area south of the Hexi Corridor is even more important in cotton planting. The annual cotton yield can be more than several times that of our Central Plains." Wu Yong returned to his class after reading it.

"Did you all hear it? The Ministry of Revenue, you must remember it correctly. The Ministry of Personnel, there are still no civil officials on these three roads. Please let the Ministry of Personnel make an assessment and arrangement for your own assessment." After I said that, I walked back to the dragon seat and sat down, signaling Xiaodouzi to announce the order again.

"The imperial edict says: The newly conquered land I have obtained, the people's hearts are unstable, and bandits are in chaos. Hu Yanzhuo of Jin was the commander of the cavalry and infantry army in Hetao South Road, and was awarded the title of Wuluo Dafu, and was awarded the title of Jin Qianliang, Guansheng of Jin was awarded the title of Wujie Dafu, and was awarded the title of Jin Qianliang, Yang Zhiwei of Longyoudao, and was awarded the title of Wujing Dafu, and was awarded the title of Jin Qianliang, and was awarded the title of Zhang Qing, Dong Ping, Sun Li, and Xu Ning, as the commander of the cavalry, and was awarded the title of Jin Qianliang, and was awarded the title of Lu Junyi, and was awarded the title of Gongwei Lang, and was awarded the title of Wugong Dafu, and was awarded the title of Wugong Dafu, and was awarded the title of 5,000 taels of gold. Shi Wengong of Jin was awarded the title of Wugong Dafu, and was awarded the title of 5,000 taels of gold. He was awarded the title of 5,000 taels of gold. He was awarded the title of 1,000 taels of gold. He was awarded the title of 1,000 taels of gold. He was awarded the title of 1,000 taels of gold. He was awarded the title of 1,000 taels of gold. He was awarded the title of 1,000 taels of gold. He was awarded the title of 1,000 taels of gold. He was awarded the title of 1,000 taels of gold. He was awarded the title of 1,000 taels of gold. He was awarded the title of 1,000 taels of gold. He was awarded the title of 1,000 taels of gold. He was awarded the title of 1,000 taels of

As the court, Fenglang, he specially gave him a royal study room and a reward of 1,000 taels. An Daoquan was appointed as the deputy chief of the Imperial Hospital, and 3,000 taels of gold. The ministers left behind in the court performed their duties during my Western expedition, so that the government was clear and the people could live in peace. They were indeed very hardworking and meritorious. The ministers, ministers, and grandsons of the palace gave each purple gold fish bags with 5,000 stagnation of money. The other ministers each gave him 2,000 stagnation of money to comfort his hard work. In this battle, artillery, mortars, crossbows, and steel crossbows showed their power. They were specially granted Gongshu. Ling Zhen was the rank of Tongyi Dafu, and each gave him 2,000 stagnation of gold. The military equipment such as soldiers, horses, armors and other military equipment were of excellent quality and sufficient supply. He was rewarded with 50,000 stagnation of money to the officials and craftsmen of the Ordnance Department. During the war, the food and grass supply was timely and sufficient, and the officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Revenue were rewarded with 50,000 stagnation of money to the Ministry of Revenue. I was awarded this."

After the imperial edict was read, a whisper suddenly broke out in the court. I rewarded the ministers who went to the army with the army, and many ministers even skipped three levels in a row. The most important thing is that I rewarded all the ministers with money and other people were shocked. The generals who went to the battle often rewarded thousands or thousands of taels of gold. Even the ministers who did not go to the battle received generous rewards. For nothing else, if the horses ran fast, they would not eat less.

"My dear friends, do you know what I am most proud of when I go to the battle this time? It is artillery and medical soldiers. The total number of troops I led was 150,000 on the day of the battle. The soldiers who lost were only 21,942. Those who were seriously injured were 4,380. The minor injuries were not included. In the past, the number of soldiers who died on the scene was only 10,220. However, the number of casualties after the war reached 50,600,000, or even 7,800. Why? The medical ability of the entire battlefield was so low, and tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers were tens of thousands. Can these dozens of imperial doctors accompanying the army be able to achieve everything? No, so, the role of medical soldiers in this battle was greatly reflected, and our army almost had to do it.

Soldiers who were not killed by injuries, all soldiers who were traumatized by swords, guns, swords and arrows can be recovered in a short time and can be reintroduced to war. Looking at the Western Xia side, there are a total of 400,000 permanent troops. The Western Xia soldiers captured by our army this time have reached nearly 300,000, and nearly one million Qiang people have been captured. Why, the power of artillery and the benefits of crossbows, you can remember that the enemy will never retreat because of your words, nor will they surrender because of your words. The Ministry of War, passing on my will, all soldiers returning to Beijing will take three days off, and the rewards will be 20 stagnant, and the rewards of soldiers stationed in the war zone will be doubled. Ten households, hundreds of households, thousands of households and other generals will increase their rewards in turn."

"Yes, the old minister obeys the order." Zhou Tong came out to take the order. In fact, these soldiers who went to the war no longer care about the dozens of coins of money, but we can't forget these heroes who have worked hard and made great contributions, right?

"How is the trade between my country and Liao, Jin, Dali and Tubo?" I asked again

"Reporting to the long live, the war between the Jin and Liao Kingdom has completely entered a white-hot stage. Almost all adult men in the areas controlled by both sides participated in the war. Although the Liao Kingdom has strong national strength, its soldiers' combat power is not as strong as that of the Jin Kingdom. So far, all the Liao Kingdom's territory in the south and the land to Dading Prefecture in the Liao Kingdom was occupied by the Jin Kingdom. Since the war between the two countries did not produce, all the food, grass and weapons of the two countries have to be purchased from our country, and almost all the cattle, horses and alpacas of the Jin and Liao Kingdom were used to trade with our country."

"They all of them participated in the war? Isn't it done? It's okay to produce. As long as the food, grass and weapons are food that our soldiers cannot eat, they will replace them with old weapons. As for how to negotiate, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue will discuss it themselves. Our country's military food reserves and weapons reserves are also tight. Out of concern for friendly and neighboring countries and the teachings of the saints, we have to tighten our belts and sell them to neighboring brother countries. Of course, the price may be a little higher." I said to Zheng Junyan, the Minister of Rites, in a black heart.

"Yes, the emperor, I obey the order." Zheng Junyan bowed and took the order and returned to his class position.

"Iron Hu." I said to Iron Hu, who was also in the court today: "Arranging people and helping the Jin and Liao countries, sometimes, they need some evidence from each other."

"I obey the order." Tiehu said with his fists clasped his fists

I continued to say to Tiehu: "In the future, the focus of the investigation is northward. We must always take care of these two northern neighbors. Also, in the north of Liao, there is a rising nation. His name is Mongolia. Many of their nobles call themselves the Golden Family. They are born on horseback. They only know how to grazle and plunder, but never do anything for production or creation. Find them and use all gentle methods to kill the men, women, old people, and even children who are called the Golden Family. Remember, their surname is Borjijin."

"Yes, the emperor, I have recorded it." Tiehu bowed and took the order here and said.

I waved Tiehu to retreat and said to Xu Liang, Minister of Works, “Xu Aiqing of the Ministry of Works, and the prisoners escorted back from Zhong Shidao of Yan'an Prefecture, have your Ministry of Works accepted it?”

"Long live, so far, our Ministry of Works has accepted a total of 700,000 prisoners from the former Xixia Kingdom. When he received the imperial edict from His Majesty on the construction of the cement road from Tokyo to Yan'an Prefecture, he had already begun to work on this road and bridge plan. After receiving the first batch of prisoners, our Ministry of Works officially started construction of this road and bridge plan. So far, the cement avenue has been built to Henan Prefecture. Since these prisoners have just begun to contact the construction of roads and bridges, the progress at the beginning of the construction was slightly slower."

"Speed ​​up your progress, your speed is really too slow. After completing this section of the road, continue to build the cement avenue from Bianliang to Yingtian Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, and finally to Hejian Prefecture. All the road cities in the country (provincial capital cities in the Song Dynasty) must be connected with Bianliang as soon as possible, and then build various cities in different places. Only the cement avenues are seen in the townships. In the distant West, there is a country called the Roman Empire. A very philosophical proverb called, all roads lead to Rome

, This is because only when road traffic is convenient can the operation speed of the entire state machine be rapidly improved, the trade of goods among the people can be quickly circulated, and the cost of goods increased due to long transportation time can be reduced. In this way, the people of our Song Dynasty can buy and use more necessities of daily life. More importantly, the convenience of the road can greatly increase the speed of our army's progress, and the army can arrive day and night and quickly enter the war."

"Yes, the emperor, I have recorded it. I will speed up the construction of this road." Xu Liang, the Minister of Works, bowed and said.

"The main roads in the country really give you five years. The roads between cities. I plan for fifteen years. All roads in the country mean that you will temporarily set a 30-year plan. How is your Ministry of Works doing this year's new agricultural tools?" I asked again.

"Report to the emperor, so far, all villages of this seventh road in Jingxi North Road, Jingxi South Road, Huainan West Road, Jinghu North Road, Jinghu South Road, Jiangnan East Road, and Jiangnan West Road have been fully distributed, and it can ensure that every new agricultural tool in no village can be distributed to one or two pieces of new farm tools."

"Your Ministry of Works has done a good job in this matter and continue to work hard. You must ensure that all the people in the Song Dynasty can use this new type of agricultural tools within ten years."

"There are my husbands who follow the order."

After saying that the Department of Construction, I said to the Ordnance Department again: "Mr. Gongshu, Ling's love."

"I'm here."

"Through this war, I am very satisfied with the contributions of your two beloved masters in actual combat. However, I still have to make some improvements to you. First, the wooden structure of the crossbows has caused its loss rate in the war. And because it is not a standardized production, once the crossbow is damaged, it will be difficult for our army to repair it in a short time and carry out standardized steel crossbow production as soon as possible. Your Ordnance Department must be put on the working schedule as soon as possible. Second: The production of steel crossbows is too low, and the foldable steel longbows can only be enough to supply the Hualang troops at present, while other combat troops cannot be equipped in a systematic manner, such as light cavalry and heavy bows and cavalry. As for steel crossbows, you must use steel crossbows to change them as soon as possible. Single-shot steel crossbows, and the long-distance sniper crossbows I have asked you to develop, how are you developing?

"Your Majesty, let's continue to study this matter. The maximum shooting distance of the steel crossbow is only 320 meters, and the maximum effective killing distance is 200 meters. You can make us make this steel crossbow with a maximum shooting distance of 500 meters and a maximum accurate and effective killing distance of 350 meters. It is really difficult." Gongshu Naturally, this plain language once again stirred my nerves and said to me.

"Explore your ideas and take your vision for the long term." I pretended to be 13 and said to Gongshu naturally with a line from Harry Pottery. "I didn't ask you to make that sniper crossbow now, but before I start the next war, I hope this crossbow can equip the troops, at least equip Hualang."

"Ah, then Master, when will you start the next war?" Gongshu naturally asked this question. Everyone wanted to ask, but they didn't dare to ask.

"I don't know this. Well, the next question is, thirdly, the number of artillery is too small. Ninety-seven field artillery cannons are still unable to carry out effective large-scale killing in large-scale wars, and the power of gunpowder is still not ideal. The maximum effective killing distance is still possible after the test of this war, but the insufficient number of artillery has seriously affected its status in field wars. If the city wall exceeds five miles of firing distance, the power will appear a little unsatisfied. Ling Aiqing, after going to court, you and Gongshu will come to the imperial study. I will talk to the two of you in detail. The number of mortars is also too small. You will continue to increase the output."

"There are no good decrees."

"Xu Liang, Liu Shihai, after you go to the imperial study room to see me together."
Chapter completed!
