"Don't look at others, look at me." Gao Fangping slapped the table and said, "Especially the guy from Hezhong Mansion, Zhang Weiyi said to you... If you dare to whisper again, I will make you die extremely ugly. You can hear that you are still in the state of national war."

The prefect of Hezhong, Zhang Weiyi, sat down with an awkward look.

Gao Fangping said: "It is true that the judicial power of the civil regime is still in your hands. But don't try to connect and not try to use these rights to fight against the policies of this church. In the state of national war, the power of finance, taxation, money and grain is in our hands. Without the right to control money and grain, the rights in your hands are fake rights and can't do anything. Even if you receive your own salary and buy rice for your baby, you will come to me to cry. This is the reality!"

Everyone, including Zhang Weiyi, looked at the Great Demon King in horror. Although you, Xiao Gao, are the northern ones, don’t need to make such words that destroy harmony, so blatant? The food appearance is really ugly.

Gao Fangping did not say anything nonsense. The Song and Xia armistice agreement was not signed for a day and the Northern Transportation Department did not revoke it for a day. Then their money and grain would not be reported to the Ministry of Revenue, but to Gao Fangping. The right to use the entire treasury is in the hands of Gao Fangping.

"So you guys say it well, are you accepting my conditions, and everyone, or do you have to follow the trend and learn from some of the troubles in the south to fight against me, Gao Fangping?" Gao Fangping laughed, "I tell you, even if those guys are in peaceful areas, they are still being punished by me in non-war situations. They are either royal relatives or top powerful families. If that's the case, then do you Qiu Ba who fell out of favor and demoted to the battlefield really have to fight against me in a state of war?"

"The Ming Mansion has misunderstood. We did not respond in time. We are thinking about how to implement your policies. Which of these are all? We are not going to go against you at all." These guys hurriedly mixed up.

"I'll be relieved if you say that." Gao Fangping touched his chin.

In fact, these guys are really different from those in other areas. This kind of place is dangerous and poor, and is considered poor and bad. Most of the people who come here to do things offend people and are not sociable, so they are deposed. This is especially true during the Cai Jing party and government period.

This place has little money and is a place where wars are long, so everything is different from the mainland. Therefore, the civil servants in these places are relatively thoughtful, relatively honest, and relatively tough. For example, in this national war, such as Yue Wen, who vowed to live and die with the county town, is not as small as one or two. These phenomena occur for a reason.

If in other periods, many various corrupt officials would be demoted. Unfortunately, the most significant political phenomenon in the Caijing period was: corruption would not be demoted but would only be promoted.

So, if we put it bluntly, these tough officials in the Northwest are those who are not in dealing with Cai Jing, so they are so bad. In other words, they are relatively honest and stubborn groups in the Song Dynasty.

This is why the Song Dynasty was able to produce useful Western Army and always held the Western Xia outside the country.

Their courage is also great, so let’s not talk about the national scholar Yue Wen. Zhang Weiyi, the old thief, was amazing. He had the idea of ​​overthrowing Gao Fangping at the beginning.

Now it seems that they have been scared and compromised by the Great Demon King, but in fact it is not. They are the group that the Song Dynasty was most afraid of Gao Fangping. The reason they agreed was because the conditions offered by Gao Fangping were very attractive to them. They are ambitious officials, and they want to obtain policies, technology, and funds to carry out post-war reconstruction to the greatest extent.

"This time is not called a united front, but a balance of interests. This means that we are not pretending and pragmatic in the battlefield." Gao Fangping looked around and said, "So at this point, whether it is military, civilian, or official, are everyone's interests balanced? Do we still need our government to take action to balance again?"

If no one speaks, it means they have agreed.

Gao Fangping pointed at them with both hands and said, "Then let's cooperate with each other and do something vigorously. I am optimistic about you."

The disharmonious voice came again, and Master Zhong went out and clasped his fists and said, "Mingfu..."

Gao Fangping stared and said, "What are you trying to say again? Do you believe it or not, I will let you retire to support your old age on the grounds of being too old?"

Sweat, everyone was embarrassed.

Because in theory, with the age of Master Zhong, this is not considered a slander, so it is really something that Gao Fang can do in just a minute. What a good reason. The old general should retire with his salary for his whole life.

The old man was so scared that his face turned white. He was not afraid of anything but not commanding the army, which would make him doubt his life. On the other hand, as long as he continued to lead the army, the old man would use all his property to fight.

So the old man really didn't dare to say it, so he retreated.

His younger brother, Zhong Shizhong, walked out and looked at Gao Fangping awkwardly. He and Lao Zhong were the same. He wanted to speak but would pray to Gao Fangping for permission to speak with his expression.

Gao Fangping had no choice but to say in a dismay: "Okay, what do you want to say, listen to me and say it."

"Mingfu... I, Qin Feng's army, basically have been with relatives. I have been the ones who have followed the Zong family since ancient times. Now I have only a few hundred thousand people. Can't I really have more?" said Zhong Shizhong.

Gao Fangping said: "I don't want to say too much to you to you. Of course I know what you mean, but I can't do more. If possible, I want to have less. The policies of the Northwest need to change. After this, there will be a long time of peace in Song Xia. At this time, construction will be the main focus. You must not occupy too much civilian power. You must never maintain hard fighting by diluting the military expenditure of soldiers. In the long run, the army will not only be unprofessional, but will also eventually affect the sense of belonging of soldiers and the people's yearning for the army. You and I have a clear understanding of your mind. At the level of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, your Qin Fengjun is only one hundred thousand."

Master Zhong sighed and had to retreat.

Liu Yanqing also wanted to say that, but he was cunning. Since Master Zhong said that he was blocked, it seems that there is no discussion.

Gao Fangping was serious. In fact, the two military systems took the professional route, and the total amount was still too much. With the military expenditure allocated by the court, how could it be possible to change all 200,000 troops into the new equipment, let alone military horses, and not to mention maintenance costs after military horses.

This is a black hole. To put it bluntly, the Song Dynasty relied entirely on the lives of people who fought hard to fill such a black hole.

If it were not reduced, it would face "disarmament" from the national policy level. Gao Fangping's idea was to suppress the Qin Feng army and the Yongxing army to 50,000 yuan each, and a large army was organized.

Yes, these are issues of national policy, so you can't move around. Gao Fangping's courage to disarmament privately this time was because the Western Army was in a strange system caused by the previous battle of Song and Xia. Under the strange system of the Western Army, their 100,000-strong organization would beat more and more people. Those people were not considered military and had no status, but in fact they served in service. These are historical issues. The courtiers, especially Tao Jiefu, were even more aware of it, so he always agreed not to say it.

So this gave Gao Fangping the opportunity to disarm and retire, use interests to open up the road, and reduce the number of registered personnel to the Privy Council.

If we want to reduce it, it requires reforms and updating national policies, or it means that Gao Fangping is indulging these people to start "eating empty wages".

"That's it. For the time being, each 100,000-plus membership cannot be expanded. It has to be reduced year by year based on actual conditions."

Seeing that many soldiers were concerned, Gao Fangping said again: "Don't be emotional, don't be dissatisfied, the old things will go sooner or later. Our dean personally led the infantry to win at Shilong Pass. 20,000 troops launched the Battle of Hezhong Prefecture in a situation of inaccessibility, so I am more qualified than anyone to say that your set of things is wrong, and my elite theory is a path that must be taken."

This is the benefit of having prestige. After saying many things, they will recognize them at the level of consciousness and will not rebound. Prestige requires ability and performance to gain.

In the past, Gao Fangping did not have military achievements, but now, the most brilliant victory in the Song Dynasty's war against the barbarians came from Gao Fangping's presidency. No matter what smear they used, this is an unforgettable fact.

In the minds of most people and big-headed soldiers, Gao Fangping reversed the situation of the barbarians bullying the Song people...

Gao Fangping carried out vigorous military reforms with his reputation as a continuous war.

At the same time, there were too many opportunities for post-war reconstruction. So a group of big sharks all went to the northwest, intending to follow Gao Fangping to make a fortune this year.

Yes, the shark groups in the northwest are very mixed. Regarding the Persian leadership party, there are the perverts in the Song Dynasty like Ximen Qing, and there are also red-topped merchants like Wang Qinfei and Zeng Shicheng from Yuncheng, all of them are waiting to invest. Obviously, their appetite is too big and Jeju is already saturated to satisfy them.

Although Wang Qinfei and Zeng Shicheng were traitors, they were considered Gao Fangping's old subordinates. They really trust Gao Fangping and wanted to rely on Gao Fangping to make a fortune. So they brought a large number of technical backbones, a large amount of agricultural and animal husbandry technology, and funds. Everything is ready but the Dongfeng is the only way.

The so-called east wind is to let parents and officials in the northwest support these unscrupulous businesses under the protection of Gao Fangping, including land approval, pushing workers, and tax exemptions.

Speaking of Gao Fangping's extremely vulgar style, he really wants to make sharks like Wang Qinfei and others harmonious. Gao Fangping's values ​​are destined to like state-owned enterprises more than capital.

But a fatal problem is: the Northwest really has no money, so it is beyond your ability to invest in state-owned enterprises.

Although Gao Fangping agreed to support the reconstruction of the northwest through a loan from a bank, the current scale of the bank with such a large share and scope in the northwest is really difficult to meet.

In addition, the "investment risks" brought by the war zone are difficult to convince the powerful shareholders of Bianjing to over-lend the Northwest. Therefore, the share that these state-owned enterprises cannot afford is only cheaper, such as Wang Qinfei and Zeng Shicheng, to invest.

This is a win-win situation under rights and interests. They bring funds, management methods, and technology belonging to Gao Fangping. Then they solve the problem of a large number of unemployed people in the northwest to develop the chicken and pig farming industry. The agricultural economy and vegetable basket problems in the northwest are initially revitalized.
