Chapter 689
The room was dim and dark.

Li Xia held the bowl and fed Gao Mingyue porridge spoon by spoon.

"You don't need to do these things, the front office is still busy." Gao Mingyue whispered: "I can move, it's really not a serious problem, and I'm not that delicate."

"I've said this many times since we met, and I haven't forgotten it, but you look delicate." Li Xia said, "Tomorrow is the seventh day after giving birth. You can eat some meat. Do you want fish soup or chicken soup?"

"Is it okay not to eat? It feels fishy." Gao Mingyue urged gently and softly: "I'm busy with you, I want to sleep for a while."

"I know you're not sleepy. You haven't been too busy recently. Many things are finally on the right track. It's rare to have such leisure time in more than four years."

Joy burst into Gao Mingyue's eyes, she got up and held Li Xia's hand, walked slowly in the room, thought for a while, and asked, "Did the officials get scared when the baby was born?"

"A little bit." Li Xia nodded.

To be honest, seeing her sweating profusely during delivery was really frightening.

I didn't want children in my previous life, but now I feel especially deeply.

At the end of thousands of words, there is only one sigh.

"You have suffered too much."

"But happy."

When Gao Mingyue seldom expresses it directly, she is really happy.

"What about the little guy?"

"The nannies are coaxing, Ben and Liu Niang said that there is no need to hire so many nannies, but I have no experience, let them do it."

Li Xia had a rare time when Xu's parents were short-tempered, and he talked a lot.

"In the morning, Mr. Han also said that women and children are the hardest to suffer in the years of war. I can't find an elder woman who has given birth to a child in my family. In recent days, it is thanks to Liu Niang who helped take care of you and the child. "

Gao Mingyue replied: "Mr. Han often said that the Li family, the Gao family, and the Han family could get together early. Because they were all destroyed, he hoped that there would be more descendants in the future. With the little guy, he would feel happy in his heart." Are you stable?"

"Yes, Mr. Han is really overjoyed."

"It's time for the officials to accept Qiao'er. Mr. Han sincerely hopes that I can give birth to your eldest son, and I also sincerely treat Qiao'er. In this troubled world, only by supporting each other can we survive forever. It makes people think that I am obstructing..."

"I understand." Li Xia said: "After September next year, Qiao'er will only be eighteen. If I can find a prince, establish a mansion and build a government office, and give her a name, it will not be considered a disappointment to the Han family. , I told Elder Han."

"It's only you who always feel let down."

The husband and wife speak more casually now than they did back then.

Gao Mingyue said: "It's the twelfth lunar month of the year again. Speaking of which, the eldest sister of the Zhang family is the same age as us. After the new year, it will be twenty and one, right?"

"Ah."

"She met you at the age of 16, and five years will pass in a blink of an eye. Youth is fleeting, and it's time to give you an explanation."

Li Xia said: "Four or five years have passed so quickly, the next opportunity to recuperate is only these three or five years, and now a year will pass."

"Then the official will finish the family affairs as soon as possible, okay?"

"Do you mind?"

"Well... The Zhang family's momentum must be borrowed. Eldest sister Zhang has love for you, so don't waste her life again. After all, we are different from ordinary couples. I have to consider your great cause. I have always understood these reasons. But to speak from the bottom of my heart, I was a little scared of her..."

At this point, Gao Mingyue thought for a while, and finally said with a smile: "Now I'm not so afraid, the little guy gave me confidence."

Li Xia smiled and stroked her hair.

"Wen Jing is easy to get along with, but the Zhang family must be careful, Dashihou is too high-minded... By the way, I just got news from Dali today that the second brother is already attacking Longshouguan. Counting the time, the news was sent out a month ago, presumably At this time, he is already celebrating in Dali City."

Gao Mingyue stopped and leaned into Li Xia's arms.

She understood what he meant, and she was still his number one.

He always has a steelyard in his heart, whether he treats her well or treats Zhang Wenjing, he likes whatever he likes, but he is still sober.

"No matter what you do, you are always restrained and sober." Gao Mingyue said in a low voice, "Never get hotheaded for any beauty. It's the same for her, and it's also for me."

"Do you blame me?"

"No wonder, I just think you've worked too hard." Gao Mingyue said in a low voice, "You always stay sensible, are you tired? I want you not to be so tired."

Li Xia embraced Gao Mingyue.

The husband and wife hugged each other for a long time.

She is like this, usually as plain as water, but she understands him, loves him, and accommodates him.

So at that time he made an exception and asked for marriage...

"Actually, I don't feel tired. If I like it, I want to work hard to win it. If I get it, I will protect it. This is how I have always lived."

"Well, I feel it, you have been guarding me."

"That time at Hujun Mountain?"

Gao Mingyue said: "It's always been, and it's not just that time, why do you only remember that time?"

"Probably because I fell in love with you in Hujun Mountain. I remember that it was the first time you took off your veil and sprained your feet."

"erotic."

"..."

"Can I do it today?"

"I really don't want to, let me rest for a while, okay?"

"Then talk to you, oh, I have a few names, you choose one."

"it is good."

"The first one is 'Li Changyi', from a poem I like very much, I hope he will have a broad vision in the future and be unrestrained..."

~~
For Li Xia, the days finally have some peaceful appearance.

But it's not busy, it's just relative to the past.

He still has a sense of urgency.

Because the time left for him to reverse the gap in strength is still very short, maybe the Inner Mongolian army will turn around and kill in three to five years.

The combined population of Sichuan, Shu, Longxi, Dali and other places is less than 500 million, and he has not yet fully controlled these territories.

As for the Song Dynasty court, Li Xia seemed to have forgotten that the center was going to deal with him again.

It was not until the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month that he mentioned the matter of Lin'an in the discussion.

……

Some of Li Xia's most confidant staff have been sent to Guanlong, and today there are only three people, Han Chengxu, Han Qi'an, and Yan Yunyun.

"The reaction of the center is too slow." Han Chengxu said first, "Let's take today as an estimate of next year's situation."

Li Xia said: "Cheng Yuanfeng and the others are of good character and abide by the rules. When they realized that I had objections, they first wrote a letter to persuade me. Knowing the righteousness, they persuaded me to serve as an official in the central government. This is a mature and prudent approach."

Han Qi'an said: "Write the letter in mid-October, get it in Alang's hands in November, and get Alang's reply in the middle of the twelfth lunar month. After a lot of tossing, I have to wait until after the New Year's Eve before I can really make a move."

Yan Yunyun sneered and said: "Alang is ready for this delay, and Jia Cricket must be ready too. When these old ministers make a move, they will only hit a stone like an egg and let Jia Cricket take advantage of them. Cheng Yuanfeng and others are indecisive , Missing the opportunity, can be described as mediocre."

"You don't have to laugh at them, it's the same old trick, disrespecting the opponent."

Li Xia beat Yan Yunyun again.

"Cheng Yuanfeng's lack of ability is not due to his ability. Do you think he really can't see it? The problem is that he is loyal to Emperor Song, so he can't take the initiative on me without authorization. He can only test me repeatedly to make Emperor Song resolve to eradicate the culprit. This is the identity of a loyal minister." Shackles on him. But there must also be a group of "loyal officials" in Sichuan and Shu who were inspired by him and regarded me as a traitor."

Yan Yunyun restrained his expression, and said: "Yes, it can be deduced that the imperial court will issue a decree to forcibly replace Alang after the New Year's Eve."

"Continue to calculate."

"Ah Lang is already prepared. Cheng Yuanfeng must not be allowed to succeed. At that time, he will be backlashed by this and can only resign. Jia Cricket is taking this opportunity to monopolize the power?"

"Then do you understand why Cheng Yuanfeng missed the opportunity?"

Yan Yunyun's heart trembled, and he replied: "He also expected it. He knew that being an enemy with A Lang would be fatal, so he tried to persuade A Lang and made preparations to dismiss him?"

"Well, he tried his best to persuade me to take care of the overall situation. If he didn't succeed, he knew that he couldn't do it when he dealt with me. Although the possibility of his success is very low, I still admire such an opponent."

Li Xia didn't want to comment on his opponent with personal grievances, and said: "Cheng Yuanfeng has fulfilled his duty as an official and a minister, Zhao Yu is not worthy of having such a good minister..."

In today's troubled times, people of insight from all over the north and south, some want to help the hero, some want to monopolize the power, some want to separate themselves, and some want to rebuild the universe.There are still a larger group of people who are not weak, but want to carry a foolish emperor behind their backs and drag a huge and decaying community, which is a pity.

Han Chengxu said: "Don't take it lightly, even if it is after the New Year's Eve, we will not be able to make a move. Before that, we don't have much time to stabilize Sichuan and Sichuan, especially since the Chongqing government is not in our hands yet."

"What Mr. Han said is that after Cheng Yuanfeng and others lose their power, Jia Sidao is afraid that the center will regain power. His methods are extraordinary, and he can drive the Jinghu heavy troops. This will be the big trouble next year."

Han Qi'an pondered, and said: "Ah Lang thinks that Jia Sidao may order Lu Wende to lead the troops into Shu, does he have the courage?"

Li Xia said: "It's hard to say, if it was last year, I don't believe he would dare, but now..."

Yan Yunyun said: "He cares about A Lang very much, so it may not be impossible."

"Is there a possibility of war between Chuanshu and Jinghu?"

"If this is the case, I'm afraid it will make Mongolia sit big."

"Next year's situation, I'm afraid it's still uncertain now." Han Chengxu patted his knees and sighed, "In short, we have to make preparations first."

The four talked for a while, and gradually felt that there was not much to say about Lin'an.

After all, the reaction of the center was too slow this time.

It is still more reliable to talk about governance under governance.

……

"If you don't accept the meeting, it's still inconvenient."

Yan Yunyun said: "The first Huizi was the Jiaozi used by Shu merchants. Sichuan and Shu have little copper and many mountain roads. In the early Song Dynasty, iron coins were used. Buying a piece of silk cost hundreds of catties of iron coins. At present, business is not feasible. It is barely feasible to mix Dangshi and Dangbai copper coins, but in the long run it will be inappropriate. Recently, a wealthy businessman wanted to buy 100 million catties of tea, with a total price of 30 guan, but the negotiation was inappropriate because of the incompatibility of Sichuan Chu coins."

"Which rich businessman?"

"I don't want to reveal his name for the time being, but Jiang Fan has sent a letter to send someone to investigate his details."

"The meeting is not worth much, how is he going to pay for it?"

Yan Yunyun said: "Gold and silver pass, it is said that more than [-] rich merchants from Zhejiang and Huguang joined forces to set up a bank to store gold and silver and withdraw money through the gold and silver pass. .”

Han Qi'an said: "Similar to Wang Changyi's friend 200 years ago?"

"Yes. They asked the commander if he would allow them to set up a bank in Sichuan and Shu, and use Jinyinguanzi as banknotes. The advantage is that they can pass through Huguang, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and pay commercial taxes every year..."

Li Xia pondered.

He knows coins and banks, and he doesn't do it now because it's not suitable.

Sichuan and Shu have such a bitter population, and he has no name for issuing money. Once it is issued, it will be cut off from the Song Dynasty, and it will be difficult to develop.

In addition, right now is the time when people have the least trust in money, and there is not enough gold and silver reserves, so it is extremely easy to be run on, leading to the collapse of the entire situation in Sichuan and Sichuan.

And this gold and silver pass is like someone handing you a pillow when you doze off.

It can not only circulate in various places, but also attract a large amount of gold and silver to flow into Sichuan and Shu.

"It's not urgent, let me think about it."

"What are your concerns, Aaron?"

"Don't worry." Li Xia said: "The banknotes and reserve gold and silver are in the hands of others, I don't worry at all."

Yan Yunyun said: "I have a plan, maybe I can lure them first..."

"I know what you want to say, let people find out their details before we talk..."
