Three days later, all the five hundred female soldiers recruited were in place, and a beautiful scenery appeared in the barracks. Almost every morning, the five hundred female soldiers would run three laps along the martial arts field, and then return to the female soldiers to continue training. Their appearance made the originally boring barracks life begin to have a hint of color. The laughter in the barracks increased, the soldiers were in high spirits, and their morale also increased.

In the morning, Hu Qing'er trotted all the way to the central army's tent. The personal soldiers outside the tent bowed to her and then reported: "Report to the rule, General Hu is here!"

"Please come in!"

Hu Qing'er carried the curtain and walked into the big tent. In the big tent, the commander Li Yanqing was saying something to the army Liu Fang. Hu Qing'er stepped forward and bowed, "See the rule!"

"Come here and sit down!" Li Yanqing waved to her with a smile.

Hu Qing'er stepped forward and sat down. Li Yanqing asked with concern: "How is the female soldier training?"

Hu Qing'er bowed and said, "Reporting to the rule, adapting very quickly. In just three days, they have completely adapted to the life of the military camp. Moreover, the female soldiers are very disciplined. They practice in the morning, and no one is late."

Li Yanqing thought about it and asked with a smile: "How is there a female soldier named Zhu Feng performing?"

‘Zhu Feng?’ Hu Qing'er was stunned, “The commander knows her?”

"I don't know each other either. I went to inspect and signed up that day and happened to see her being admitted, a very filial young lady."

"She performed very well. She is now the fifth team's first team to be the escort team. Ten female soldiers were on the training list yesterday, and each of them was rewarded with hundreds of cents."

Li Yanqing nodded and said, "Everyone has a very good evaluation of female soldiers. I suggest you can pull them out for running. After all, the female soldiers are a little narrower. Pulling them out for running is good for physical and mental health."

"I understand. In a few days, I will take them out for training."

Only then did Li Yanqing turn the topic back, "I'm going to find you because I have a task left to the female barracks."

"Please give orders!"

"Let Liu Shenjun tell you the situation first!"

Liu Fang smiled and said, "That's right, I have negotiated with Qiao's Trading Company to sell 200,000 pieces of sheepskin to Qiao's Trading Company and receive 400,000 guan. However, Qiao's Trading Company promised to use silver to pay, and exchange one tael of silver for 1,500 cents of silver at the current market price, which is about 205,000 taels of silver. Qiao's Trading Company promised to pay us three times, and pay 100,000 taels of silver for the first time at noon tomorrow. The delivery location is at the Weihe Wharf. We will also send 100,000 pieces of sheepskin to the same time."

"What do we female soldiers need to do?"

"Go some money!"

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "You bring fifty female soldiers to count the silver. There are male soldiers responsible for transporting them, but you are responsible for pointing out the 100,000 taels of silver. In addition, you must assist them in order to clean the sheepskin. This is the first transaction, and both parties are more cautious."

"But why do you have to go with a female soldier?" Hu Qing'er asked in confusion.

"This is the other party's request. They are a little afraid of the army, so it would be better for the female soldiers to help."

"I understand. We can set off at any time when we wait for Liu Zhanjun's notice tomorrow!"

"There is nothing else, you can go back to the camp first!"

Hu Qing'er got up and was about to leave. Li Yanqing remembered something and said, "Yun Niang asked you to go back for dinner tonight. You can take the time to go back and take a look!"

"I understand!" Hu Qing'er bowed and left quickly.

At this time, Liu Fang smiled slightly and said, "Tongzhi should consider finding another deputy general for Sanniang. She is the only one who manages the female barracks, which is inconvenient in many places."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Thank you for joining the army, I will pay attention!"

At this time, the personal soldiers outside the tent reported: "You reported to the rule, and a businessman named Qiao came from outside the camp, saying that he had something urgent to come to you."

Li Yanqing and Liu Fang looked at each other and found that it must be Qiao Zhongan coming. The two of them quickly got up and walked quickly outside the camp.

When he walked to the camp gate, he saw a ox cart parked outside the camp gate. Qiao Zhongan was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. Li Yanqing quickly greeted him, "What urgent matter is the second boss looking for me?"

Qiao Zhongan hurriedly walked forward and said, "I want to tell you an important message?"

"What news?"

Qiao Zhongan lowered his voice and said, "I just received the Feiying Letter from Xingqing Prefecture, and Xixia has officially surrendered to the Jin Kingdom!"

The surrender of Xixia to the Jin Kingdom was undoubtedly a major event that shook the world's pattern, which meant that the Three Kingdoms pattern that the Song, Liao and Xia, which had been maintained for a hundred years, had completely broken down.

The Liao Kingdom no longer exists, and the rising new Jin Kingdom replaced Liao. When many people thought that the balance of the New Three Kingdoms was about to be established, some people with keen insights realized that the crisis of the Song Dynasty was coming.

The Emperor of Jin has firmly sat on the dragon throne, and the instability in the west has been cleared, and the next step will be to fight south.

The most obvious reaction was that the land prices in Suzhou and Hangzhou suddenly doubled, and the wealth of the Song Dynasty began to tilt to the southeast.

At night, the Privy Councilor Gao Qiu was strolling back and forth in the study with great worries. He had been working as prime minister at the beginning of the year and had been living smoothly. However, when news of the surrender of the Western Xia to the Jin Kingdom came, Gao Qiu knew that his comfortable life was over.

Gao Qiu knew very well that the Jin Kingdom was not the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom was old and had no aura to attack Song, but the Jin Kingdom had just grown up with a fierce tiger. How could a tiger not eat meat? What's more, the old wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom died in Yanshan Prefecture. How could the Jurchens not revenge this revenge?

But the officials believed in the Song-Jin Alliance and insisted that the Jin Kingdom would not have any intention to attack Song. The guys from Zhizhengtang also made this argument. I wonder if they were really stupid or pretending to be stupid?

Gao Qiu sighed and his eyes fell on a memorial on the table. This was another thing that bothered him. Li Yanqing asked to allocate Jingchuan Silver Mine to the Jingzhao Army for military expenses. Gao Qiu was also a leader. Of course, he knew how much the monthly military expenses of the 5,000 new recruits were. Without a source of military expenses, how could Li Yanqing afford it?

Guo Yaoshi of Yanshan Prefecture also recruited 20,000 new recruits, but the emperor gave him the right to mint money, but the Jingzhao Army had no income, which was obviously unfair.

At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the door, followed by the voice of his son, "Father, the child is back."

"Come in!"

The door opened, Gao Yanei walked in from outside. He went to see Liang Qiu on his father's order and asked about Liang Shicheng's attitude.

"What did Liang Shicheng say?"

"Liang Qiu said that Li Daqi had already contacted his father and told him about this."

"I know what is Liang Shicheng's attitude?"

"Liang Qiu said that his father stated that he would not participate in the matter, and the child did not understand what he meant?"

Gao Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That is to say, Liang Shicheng acquiesced to me to operate this matter on behalf of Li Yanqing, and he will not interfere."

"Didn't my father have already paid back the favor from the Cao family before? Why did he still do such a mess for Li Yanqing?" Gao Yayi was really a little unhappy.

Gao Qiu shook his head, "Those things can be done with advanced knowledge. Does he have to ask me for help?"

"Don't the boy understand?"

Gao Qiu sighed slightly, "Although Li Yanqing is young, he is very cunning. He did not put forward real conditions during the New Year because he was worried that he would annoy Liang Shicheng. Before communicating with Liang Shicheng, he did not dare to have too much contact with me, so he asked his father to meet Liang Shicheng first, and then asked me to help after getting Liang Shicheng's acquiescence, otherwise he would not be able to stay in Jingzhao Mansion."

Gao Yanei didn't say anything for a while, Gao Qiu glanced at him, "You are wondering why I am so enthusiastic about helping him, right?"

Gao Yanei nodded, "I don't understand a little bit."

Gao Qiu walked a few steps behind his hands: "On the surface, I am paying back favors, but in fact, I want to pull him into my faction. Don't look at Tong Guan, there seems to be no movement. That's an illusion. He has been having secret contacts with Guo Yaoshi and Yao Pingzhong. How did Guo Yaoshi get the right to mint money? Didn't Tong Guan win him through Wang Fu? Also, Yao Pingzhong's son was unsuccessful and promoted to general. Do you think Tong Guan didn't help him? You understand! Helping Li Yanqing is actually helping me."

Gao Yanei nodded, "The boy understands!"

After pausing, he said, "It's just that silver mine is not easy to operate."

Gao Qiu smiled slightly, "If it's normal, I'm really not easy to operate, but now I have a chance. I'll talk to the official tomorrow."
