As time gradually came to August, after three months of busyness, the situation on Lingxia Road and Hexi Road had completely stabilized and normal order was restored. The northwest routes also began to recover economic recovery mode. Without the military threat of Xixia, the rapid development of the business of Northwest Third Road also led to a large number of commercial exchanges with Hexi Road and Lingxia Road. Lamb from Northwest from the dining tables of people in Bashu and all over the south began to appear on the beds, and good warm sheepskin was covered with large amounts of animal power. A large number of livestock were transported to the mainland of the Song Dynasty, and even more horse riders were gradually increasing.

This is an excellent omen. Li Yanqing immediately abolished the tax cards between Hexi, Lingxia Road and Northwest Third Road, and temporarily stopped collecting goods and dental taxes within the Northwest Fifth Road, which further promoted the prosperity of Northwest Fifth Road.

On that morning, Li Yanqing came to Jingliu Mansion as usual. As the army rested and recuperated, Li Yanqing's eyes began to turn to Hebei and the Central Plains again. At this time, it was a good opportunity to regain Hebei and the Central Plains lost territory. The army in various places demanded the Northern Expedition one after another, but the imperial court had a disharmonious force suppressing the call for the Northern Expedition, requiring the Song Dynasty's army to abide by the agreement and not to destroy the reputation of the court without authorization.

"This is simply a bastard remark!"

Liu Qi was so angry that he slapped the table, "Hometown was occupied by robbers, and he still had to keep his promises with robbers? I see that the backbone of some literati was completely bent by the Jin people."

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and asked, "What's the situation on the Mobei grassland?" "Bi Yi just got the news. The Naiman tribe and the Wei tribe of Shi cooperated with the invading Jin soldiers and defeated Wanyan Zonghan's 30,000 cavalry last month. The Jin soldiers lost more than half of them and withdrew from the southern grassland of Dadan tribe. I heard that the Jin soldiers had changed their strategy of dispersed attacks and were preparing to concentrate their forces to attack the Naiman tribe. The Naiman tribe is also joining forces with the other three divisions. I'm afraid there will be a big battle this fall."

"This autumn is a chance!" Li Yanqing sighed softly.

At this time, Liu Qi whispered: "Can we ask Datong Prefecture to hand over Li Yungui, otherwise we will meet each other in war!"

Li Yanqing smiled, "This is the second Zhang Jue incident, but I just adjusted it. I think it's okay, first be courtesy and then army, and first send someone to Yanshan Prefecture to negotiate."

"He is the most suitable for Wu Shaoyou to represent Jingzhao Army!"

Wu Shaoyou was the former Jinshi of the Liao Kingdom. After the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, he was unwilling to rely on the Jin Dynasty and moved his family to Jingzhao Prefecture. Li Yanqing admired his talent and appointed him as his staff officer and now the Sima of the Jingzhao Army.

Li Yanqing nodded, "You can send him there. You can talk to him about this first, and I will talk to him again and then set off."

"I understand!"

Liu Qi bowed and stepped down. At this time, a follower next to him said, "Master Li has just arrived, it seems that he has something to look for a manager!"

When Li Yanqing heard that the prefect Li Guang was looking for him, he felt a little overwhelmed. Of course, he knew what Li Guang was looking for him to do, and it must be for immigrating to Lingxia Road.

After destroying the Western Xia, the Jingzhao Army seized a large amount of fertile land from the Dangxiang nobles, which were as many as hundreds of thousands of hectares, almost all distributed on both sides of the Yellow River with sufficient water and heat. With this capital, Li Yanqing considered moving 100,000 Han people from Sichuan and Shaanxi to Lingxia Road.

Due to the implementation of the principle of voluntary action, there is little problem in mobilizing the people. Governments in various places are dissatisfied with the relocation subsidy. It is not about how much subsidy it is, but who pays the money?

The most dissatisfied place here is Jingzhao Prefecture. Jingzhao Prefecture is a large household, and about 20,000 households are willing to move north. Based on the subsidy of 50 stakes per household, Jingzhao Prefecture will have to pay millions of stakes. How could Li Guang not jump?

"Li Jingluo, you have to give me an explanation!"

Li Guang appeared at the door, and said with an unhappy look on his face: "Where can we get a million guan in Jingzhao Mansion?"

"Everyone has any difficulties?"

"There are difficulties, so everyone is jumping, but I jump the highest!"

Li Guang's voice suddenly increased, "You have exempted the merchants and dental taxes on Northwest 5th Road. Our government can't even afford the salary. Where do you ask me to find a million guan?"

This is not the sound of the increase, it is obviously coming to question with dissatisfaction.

Li Yanqing was not angry, but said lightly: "If you can't afford this money, you can apply to the court, but don't expect me to take it out of the military expenses."

"But, this money should be from Lingxia Road. There is no reason to pay for the land to move out. It should be to pay for the land to resettle!"

Li Guang changed the spearhead again and pointed the contradiction at Lingxia Road, but Lingxia Road could not afford the resettlement fee. After all, the military still had to pay the money.

"It is impossible to count on the Lingxia Road government, we have to pay the money."

At this time, Li Guang hesitated and said, "The court will pay great attention to this area by gaining a lot of wealth from the princes and nobles of the Western Xia."

Li Yanqing understood what Li Guang meant, not only to remind himself that he was obviously rich in his army, but also to impeach him not to be impeached by the court."

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "Thank you for your concern to the prefect Li. This money is used to recover the military expenses in Hebei. I don't want to move it easily. I originally added the resettlement fee to various governments in the hope that you can apply for this money from the court, but now it seems that everyone lacks confidence in the finances of the court. Let's do this! I can use a compromise plan. Prefect Li continues to request the court to obtain the resettlement fee allocation, which is estimated to be a long time. Then I borrow the money from the military expenses first, and then return it to the army after the court's funds arrive."

Li Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he still had to bear the burden on the local government, there was finally a solution to the matter.

"If the court never lets go of the money, then I can't do anything about it!"

Li Yanqing pointed at him and smiled and said, "You! You have to force me to explain clearly, okay! If the court refuses to allocate the money in the end, then I will accept it!"

Li Guang was overjoyed, "You said no, it would be enough, which made me not want to eat, and I didn't want to rest for the past two days. OK, I'll take a step first!"

Li Guang turned around and left with a brisk pace, but Li Yanqing shook his head. He just let it go so easily, and I'm afraid these guys would not be willing to ask the court for money even harder.

At this moment, a follower rushed in and bowed and said, "I have reported to the wise envoy of the emperor, the special envoy of the emperor has arrived!"

Li Yanqing was stunned, "Where have you been?"

"Just outside the gate!"

Li Yanqing quickly got up and greeted him. This should be what the emperor Zhao Gou said in his letter, and the formal messenger arrived.

Half a month ago, Li Yanqing received a letter from Zhao Gou. On the first day of September, the court will hold a ceremony to enthrone the crown prince, and high-ranking officials from all over the country will attend. Zhao Gou hopes that he can also participate with his son.

Li Yanqing has been in charge of Jingzhao Prefecture for almost three years. Speaking of which, he does need to return to Beijing to report his work. He originally planned to return to Beijing this spring, but the Xixia Battle was launched, but it was cancelled. It is impossible for him to never return to Beijing. As for safety, if it is thoroughly considered and arranged properly, there should be no big problem.

When Li Yanqing came outside the gate, he saw a central envoy and several followers standing at the gate. The central envoy was known to him, named Kang Lu, who was the deputy general manager of the Dawen and Zhao Gou's confidant eunuch.

"Mr. Kang has worked hard all the way!" Li Yanqing smiled and greeted him.

Kang Lu is a white and fat middle-aged eunuch with a smile on his face. People in the palace call him a smiley tiger behind his back, but Kang Lu's smiley tiger is just for his servants. For the emperor and those who hold great power like Li Yanqing, he is a smiley cat.

"Your Highness King Jin, we have been missing for a long time. I miss you very much."

Kang Lu stepped forward and held Li Yanqing's hand intimately. Li Yanqing felt a little numb and quickly pulled out his hand and smiled: "Thank you all the way, please come in and have a cup of hot tea!"

Li Yanqing invited Kang Lu into the government office, and asked someone to greet Kang Lu's entourage. The two sat down in the lobby. Kang Lu smiled and handed a formal decree to Li Yanqing, "We should not hold any ceremony. This is the official decree issued by the government and the Zhizheng Hall. Please ask His Highness the King of Jin to return to Beijing on the first day of September to attend the crown prince's enthronement ceremony!"

Li Yanqing took the order and looked at it, nodded and said, "It's time for me to go back to Beijing to take a look."

Kang Lu handed him another certificate from the Privy Council, "This is a certificate from the Privy Council's military, and he allows His Highness to bring three thousand guards into Beijing!"

This is the key. Local warlords like Li Yanqing dare not enter Beijing easily. Once they enter Beijing, they must have their own army guards. Therefore, the court must issue conditions. The Privy Council has the right to mobilize troops and agreed to Li Yanqing to lead 3,000 troops into Beijing.
