Chapter 251 The Emperor's Abacus

The emperor had a conclusion in his mind.
Let's fight, three million jin of military expenses and one hundred thousand jin of war damage, my Song Dynasty can hold on.
The 6 pounds and 4 ounces of money in Song Dynasty were weighing 6 pounds, 100 pounds of money was only six stones, and one million pounds was only six thousand stones of copper.
Six million stone copper ore.
Whoever dares to miss this copper mine? Even as the emperor, he dares not kneel in the Taimiao.
This copper mine is indeed a giant bull. Liu An knew clearly that this copper mine area in later generations was equivalent to one-third of the economy of a certain country. Liu An didn't believe it, and the emperor wouldn't care.
The officials in Bingzhou were stunned for a moment.
But when I heard that the emperor was going to mine in person, I had to prepare for this matter, pick a safe place and make the coal seam softer.
Kou Zhuncai didn't believe that the emperor wanted to mine, so there must be something wrong.
The official documents were full of nonsense in Kou Zhun's eyes, so there was only one truth, in that secret letter.
Kou Zhun wants to see it.
But now he couldn't mention it. The emperor was still inspecting the carbonite mining area, and there were nearly a hundred officials accompanying him.
Kou Zhun planned to ask again until the evening.
Speaking of the city of Youzhou.
Liu Chenggui came to work hard on behalf of the emperor. After inspecting the barracks, people were already packing their luggage and taking the light cavalry to go west.
The 60 million stone copper mine area is also a gold and copper mine area.
How could Liu Chenggui sit still? Liu An fooled him by just a few words and wanted to take a look at him.
When leaving the city of Youzhou, Liu Chenggui made a harsh statement to Liu An: "Want, fight to the death in Youzhou and Liao Kingdom. If there are not enough soldiers, the family will protect you another 200,000 soldiers and recruit 100,000 civilians."
Liu Chenggui's later generations recorded that he was a traitor.
In Liu An's eyes, Liu Chenggui is a cruel man who is only loyal to the emperor and ignores nothing.
Before leaving the camp, Liu Chenggui stopped.
"Young guys, you can make preparations, and the miscellaneous family will go to patrol the camp again."
Liu Chenggui was still worried and turned around and returned to the camp again.
Liu Chenggui found the eunuchs in the army and stared at the two middle-aged eunuchs coldly. One was following Liu An, without even saying a word of nonsense along the way, and the other was following Li Jilong. With Li Jilong's methods, he did not dare to make trouble.
But Liu Chenggui was still worried and came back deliberately.
"You two have listened to me. Here I want to listen to Mr. Liu. Who has ruined the affairs of the official family? The miscellaneous family will come back and get rid of you after finishing the business."
"Yes, yes." The two of them didn't even dare to stand and knelt on the ground with sweat on their heads.
Liu Chenggui grabbed the two of them by their hair and stared at them in their eyes: "Say it again, remember it."
“Yes, yes!”
Liu Chenggui breathed a sigh of relief. He came out of the tent of the two deacons and eunuchs here and walked out of the camp. He must have been ready for traveling.
Just then, he met Zhang Qixian.
When the two met, neither of them ignored each other.
Zhang Qixian didn't like Liu Chenggui. In his eyes, Liu Chenggui was a traitor. Liu Chenggui hated Zhang Qixian even more. In Liu Chenggui's eyes, Zhang Qixian was greedy and timid.
When the emperor asked Zhang Qixian to learn about Zhending Mansion, Zhang Qixian did not dare to come.
But as soon as the two met, they couldn't help but stop. They stared at each other with big eyes for a while. Finally, Zhang Qixian said, "Is it going to Yunneizhou, and eight hundred miles west?"
"Not bad." Liu Chenggui knew very well that this big secret could not be hidden from everyone. Zhang Qixian is a third-rank official and is qualified to know.
Zhang Qixian said: "I want to persuade Eunuch Liu to set out one day later."
"Why?" Liu Chenggui asked back in anger.
Zhang Qixian walked to Liu Chenggui's side, and the two of them had parallel shoulders, but they could not see each other's faces. Zhang Qixian said: "That place is the territory of the Liao Kingdom. Even if Liu An had a way to get it this time, how many years could this big mine be hidden."
Liu Chenggui's eyes narrowed into a slit: "Please continue with Shangshu Zhang."
Since we could talk about one part, Zhang Qixian continued: "This mining area is divided into four tribes, but we have to divide it, because it is too far from my Song Dynasty, and this is an enclave. Since it can be divided into four tribes, why can't it be distributed to the Liao people? This is probably something that Eunuch Liu can tell Liu An."
"This!" Liu Chenggui also reacted.
In that place, the Song Dynasty sent troops and horses. Even if it sent 300,000 troops, not to mention how much military expenditure was for a year, just transporting food could drag down the Song Dynasty.
If the Liao people attacked wildly, the consequences would be terrible.
Therefore, the heavy army still needs Dangxiang people to come from Xizhou.
Liu Chenggui thought for a while: "I can't do this. I want the government to take charge of the government. Negotiation against Liao is a major event. I can write a book with you and ask the government for instructions. You can't mention it because you dare not. Even if Liu An is determined, he dares not. The battles between the Song and Liao dynasties for twenty-five years have been fought against the government for 25 years without the authorization of the government, who dares?"
"That's right. Then I'll draft."
"Now."
“Just now.”
The two of them entered the tent of the two deacons and eunuchs together. Liu Chenggui gave a cold command: "Get out and prepare paper and pen, the family will give the above to the official family."
After Liu Chenggui signed the above written by Zhang Qixian, he selected reliable people to deliver the letter, and then left the camp and headed northwest.
Liu An is currently in the first round of formal peace talks.
Of course, the war is still going on.
This negotiation was very formal, just...
The Liao side was in charge of the negotiations.
Liu An sat in Yelu Longqing's tent. At this time, outside Yelu Longqing's tent was no longer guarded by the Song army, but was responsible for one hundred Liao troops.
Then the chef, maid, and servant were sent here.
"King Liang, to be honest, I don't like that Han Derang, so the first condition for the ceasefire in Youzhou is to kill the three tribes of Han Derang. Of course, I, Liu An, are very sincere. In addition to not letting His Highness King Liang go home, the hospitality there is not good, but the military camp is simple. Please don't mind your Highness King Liang."
Yelu Longqing tidied up his clothes in front of the two-foot-high glass mirror while listening to Liu An's words.
Liu An said again: "Your Highness Liang likes this mirror, just take it back."
Yelu Longqing turned around and said, "I have been thinking that the first condition you proposed for peace talks should be to let me return you gold. But I didn't expect that you would stare at...the Grandfather!"
Damn it.
Liu An cursed in his heart, he miscalculated a little and should have gold.
Moreover, he seemed to have forgotten that the customs of the Liao people were different from those of the Song Dynasty. Yelu Longqing really made Han De a father.
Yelu Longqing continued, "I have a feeling that you are holding on to something bad. It is true that the eldest father is a Han Chinese, but there are Han ministers, Chinese scholars, and Han imperial examinations in Liao. I don't like the word you use for the eldest father. Can you take it back?"
Liu An touched his nose: "My mother said, "As a child, no matter how bad it is, you can get bad. I am only eighteen, so there will be no bad ideas. I will take back that word for a while. When will His Highness King Liang want to talk about it, I will be ready to wait."
