Comparatively speaking, the second-class military roads in the border areas are mainly based on the pacification and control of the envoys, and the transit envoys can only be subordinated to them, which is completely different from the roads in the interior, after all, the defense of the border areas is important. {We don't write novels, we're just online text porters - although the roads in the mainland are each in its own way, it is mainly about transshipment, and financial power is what the imperial court values.}

Zhong Lirui said that he was unhappy, it was false, Du Chengzhi was considered a high authority, but he was only the chief minister of the Privy Council, and he usually had no real power, and he did not have so much authority, after all, there was the suppression of the chief and deputy of the Privy Council, that is, he was reused by Wang Xiu, and was known as the most authoritative Du Chengzhi since the founding of the country, and even replaced the privy envoy to guide the northwest war.

Compared with the economic envoys in the border areas, Du Chengzhi is really nothing, he can be in office for a few years, and the future is absolutely bright.

He smacked his lips and said in a deep voice: "The war in the northwest is gone, but the situation is particularly complicated, it's not a good place!" ”

Cai Yi looked at He Wei playfully, this guy has made enough money, enough to go up to the next level, and he is still saying cool things in front of him, not a son of man, but he said with a smile: "Wenshi put the two in the northwest, it must have a deep meaning." ”

"My lord, this matter has not passed through the two prefectures, and it is too early to say." Zhong Lirui concealed his inner thoughts, and he had to be cautious before making an official announcement, so as not to be poked in the back by someone when it was spread.

Cai Yi didn't care, shook his sleeves and said: "Those noisy birds, just can't look at people's good, you don't have to worry about other people's nonsense, with Wenshi's decision, you are a person who has made great contributions, and it is a foregone conclusion that no one can say anything against it." ”

Zhong Li Rui smiled, of course he knew that whether he was saving the defeat or assisting Wang Xiu in the northwest war, his merits were all proper, and he was recognized by the two governments, and no one could pick a bone in the egg.

However, people's hearts are the most difficult to guess, you are no matter how capable and meritorious, there are always people who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and the slander rumors in Shilin are not played, when some words reach the ears of the third person, it will change the taste, and then said: "What the adults said is reasonable, but it is better to be cautious, so as not to let people catch the rhetoric." ”

"It's good that you can think like this, it's just that Lingxia Road has just been built, and it is impossible for the imperial court to support a huge garrison, and the situation is very complicated, with many internal and external troubles, but there is a good composition?" Cai Yi is very concerned about the northwest, and the Xuanfu Disposal Division will be abolished sooner or later, and his thoughts are basically settled, that is, he will go to Shaanxi Road to take up the post of the capital transfer envoy, and also promote Changping official affairs, and master the goods and warehousing of the Eighth Road.

The throne of Shangshu has not yet been hot, so he came to Kaifeng, and now he is going to the northwest again, and it may take a few years to appreciate the prosperity of Jiangning.

However, he didn't care, and his appointment as the military governor of Yongxing and the transfer of power to Shaanxi was definitely a turning point in his life, and it was also Wang Xiu's powerful help to him, indicating that Wang Xiu wanted to lay a nail in the northwest, not only to stabilize the situation in the northwest, but also to make a large number of layouts and implement new policies in the northwest.

Similarly, Zhong Lirui also knew that Wang Xiu had completed the layout of the five roads, relying on Wang Qingjiao to secretly add fuel to the fire, as long as capable people were in place, the two silver laws could be implemented, and there were other policies, and the northwest was the top priority left.

Let Cai Yi control Shaanxi's goods and warehousing, it is not intelligence, but he needs his own people to control the power of Shaanxi Road, the most subtle thing is Lingxia Road, what is the auxiliary, let him control the military and political power of Lingxia, and form an iron triangle, the intention is very deep.

Lingxia is an area that has just been recovered, and stability is naturally overwhelming, but it is necessary to see a lot of opportunities in the unstable factors.

The war caused a large number of old nobles to perish, but also created a group of new nobles, in urgent need of benefit distribution, this is the perfect opportunity, chaos must have a great rule. You must have the courage and ability to break the original economic foundation, and you can completely establish a new system, and the key lies in how to deal with complex forms and simplify the negative effects to a controllable range.

This requires a contest between the old and new vested interests, and the new vested interests, even if they succeed in rising, lack the foundation to compete with the old ones, and can only rely on the Great Song Dynasty to confront them.

However, the old vested interests are not easy to match, and they also have the value of being won over by the imperial court, which forces the new vested interests to fully support the policies of the imperial court and support the new policies of the imperial court under the premise of protecting the final bottom line.

In order to survive, the old vested interests will either oppose the imperial court or also depend on the imperial court, and no matter what choice they make, the imperial court will get the greatest benefit. rebellion, then unite with the new vested interests to exterminate it; Attached, it will be easier to do, and everyone will discuss the fruits together.

However, a qiē can only be gradually realized if it is stabilized, and to put it bluntly, it is how much deterrent power the imperial court has left.

According to Wang Xiu's assumption, the implementation of the two silver laws on Shaanxi Road, the best gap is Lingxia Road, as long as the trial is successful in Lingxia Road, the whole Shaanxi will be half of the success, even easier than the five roads.

The idea is beautiful and operable, but the danger is indeed not small, and the conflict of interests alone makes him a little frightened.

"Now it looks calm, in fact, there are still some people secretly stealing chickens and dogs, let's not talk about Wurahai City, even the war in Hexi, you can't let Lingxia stay out of the matter, the forbidden army must be reduced to the minimum, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me to stretch our hands and feet." What is low-key is true, and the officials have not done it in vain for many years, especially the two-year career as a judge, which has broadened his horizons a lot, and many problems can be seen.

"Wen Shi doesn't know what to think, Lingxia Road is so important, as long as two armies are maintained, one of them must recruit party members." Cai Yi was very dissatisfied and said that the Jin army still maintained a strong force in Hexi, Wurahai City was still occupied by the Jin army, and it was impossible for the imperial court to maintain a strong force in Lingxia Road, so it was difficult for the two armies to support.

Zhong Lirui frowned slightly, his idea was to set up a camp and maintain three armies and one brigade, with a strength of more than 50,000 people. Wang Xiu disagreed, and only let the Western Servant Army stay in one army, and recruited Hengshan Zhuangding to form an army, and the remaining guard force was basically composed of the township army and the school review army, and the strength was particularly weak, and it was also where he and Wang Xiu disagreed.

However, he still supported Wang Xiu's proposal, and said with some concern: "Now, I am not worried about those little ghosts, but the big families who belong to the imperial court." ”

"Well, those big clans are insatiable, they don't want to expand their power all the time, and they have to take possession of every benefit, that is, there are only a few people in Wei Liluo and Xi Yulili, and they still understand the rules." He Wei was also very dissatisfied, he and Xin Bing presided over the civilian rule of the reconquest of the lost land, and they knew a lot about the greasy inside, and they could see the worries under the calm.
