Zhao Xu went out of the Qingshou Palace, and then went to the Cining Palace, the Renming Palace, Zhao Ji and other places, and returned to the Funing Hall in the middle of the night.

In the study room of Funing Palace, Zhao Xu drank tea and rubbed his tired eyebrows.

"Let's all go back today, if there is nothing to do, the palace will take two days off. The annual rest outside the palace is fifteen days, and we are also light-hearted. Zhao Xu exhaled lightly.

Tong Guan glanced at Chen Pi and did not speak.

Chen Pi thought for a while and said, "It's really nothing." ”

As the saying goes, if there are more lice on the head, it is not itchy, and it is almost upset outside, and the palace actually feels that there is nothing wrong.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and picked up the notebook at hand.

Chen Pi and Tong Guan retreated in response, but neither of them left, waiting outside the door.

Zhao Xu looked at the 'army restructuring strategy' on the joint of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and the content was very large, and a lot of it was in literary language, Zhao Xu sometimes had to look back, and even needed to scrutinize word by word in order to understand the cause and effect.

This 'strategy' reformed the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, with a regiment as a unit, a regiment under the jurisdiction of 3,000 people, five regiments as an army, a total of 15,000 people, but to add logistics, miscellaneous service, auxiliary, etc., the total number is close to 20,000.

In addition to this, the military rank was also recharacterized, and the head of a regiment was called the commander of the regiment, and the commander of the army was called the commander-in-chief.

And the military ranks have also broken those complex systems, with the 'captain' as the mainstay, the leader of a team is the second lieutenant, the regiment commander is the colonel, the chief is the general, there are guerrillas, hussars, and then there are generals (north, south, east and west), and then up, that is, knighted.

In this 'strategy', all the people in the military department have no character, that is, they are independent of the civilian system, and they delineate the promotion route of these military generals.

At the same time, in this strategy, there are also plans for the deployment of the troops in various places, the objects of defense, and the methods of checks and balances, including the theaters of operations in various places.

Zhao Xu looked at it carefully, and it was not until dawn that he finished reading.

Zhao Xu poured a cup of strong tea and said to himself: "It's basically within my framework, but the specific strategy is not mentioned by the person in charge." ”

The Privy Council and the Ministry of War are still measured, and there is no mention of the heads and brains of the various armies, which are to be finalized by Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu has some lists in his heart, but they are only a small number, and he has to continue to investigate.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter outside, Zhao Xu stretched his waist, walked out of the study, and said, "You guys take turns to rest, I'll go sleep for a while." ”

Chen Pi and Tong Guan hurriedly responded and accompanied Zhao Xu back to the dormitory.

Zhao Xu washed and slept, and at this time of the Chinese New Year, it was rare for the palace to be a little calmer.

And the ministries outside the palace, although there are annual holidays, there are still people on duty, and many things have to start this year, and they are working overtime.

Households.

A large carriage suddenly appeared outside the gate of the household, and an old man stepped forward with a post, looked at the doorman and said: "This poor master, the villain was ordered to donate money to the imperial court."

The doorman looked at several large carriages and the neatly stacked large boxes on them, with a strange expression, and one of them pointed to the carriageway: "Are these these?" ”

The old man said: "Yes, a total of 10,000 yuan, please collect it." ”

Hearing 'Ten Thousand Guan', the expressions of a group of guards changed slightly, and one of them raised his hand and said, "Please wait." ”

He turned and ran in, apparently to get someone.

The other guards stared at the carriages, and then at the old man, with strange and surprised expressions.

Not long after, a man came out, talked a few words, and politely invited the old man in.

Several large carriages were pulled in through the side doors, and the household department quickly began to count, one by one, copper coins, making a crisp and restless sound.

It took half an hour before the count was finished.

……

Hubu Zuo Shilang came to Shangshu Liang Tao's mansion, looked a little strange, and said, "Shangshu, I received a donation of 10,000 yuan. ”

Because the treasury was empty before, the household department has always been open to the outside world to donate, but it is the first time that 10,000 yuan is such a large amount.

Liang Tao was stunned and said, "Who donated it?" ”

Zuo Shilang shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't say anything, it was sent by a servant in the form of a servant, and I left with a 'Shi Jiu'." ”

"Shi Jiu?" Liang Tao frowned, this was obviously a fake name, and immediately said: "Such a big sum, you have to know it in your heart, find a way to check, and don't move the money for the time being." ”

Zuo Shilang responded, hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Shangshu, the Imperial City Division, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial History Observatory have confiscated too many mansions, and the total number may be nearly 10 million, will these be the Treasury of the Ministry of Households?" ”

Liang Tao glanced at him, and his heart was actually moved, he thought about it, and said, "It stands to reason that it should be, wait and see." ”

Zuo Shilang said, 'Nearly 10 million', but Liang Tao knew that if it had not been handed down, this number might have multiplied several times, not counting those gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, precious calligraphy and painting, yards, shops, acres and so on.

Zuo Shilang knew that the situation was unpredictable now, and the political affairs hall didn't speak, so it was useless for them to say anything, so he quickly changed the topic.

At that time, the household department would be the main force, and it would be a very arduous task to clear the country's acres, verify the people, formulate taxes, and so on.

Liang Tao discussed with Zuo Shilang for a while, and finally simply returned to the household department in advance and started work.

The household department has been making deployments, and now it is even more nervous.

At this moment, a shop on the royal street was surrounded by a group of people, many of whom rolled up their sleeves and looked like they were going to beat someone.

"This landscape map is fake! The original has been hidden in a gentleman's possession! ”

"My picture of this lady is also fake!"

"My horse is also fake!"

"It's all fake! Refund! ”

"Return the money, return the money!"

A crowd of people was clamoring and shouting, filling the shop, and someone was already smashing things.

This shopkeeper is a chubby middle-aged man, and in the winter, he wiped the cold sweat on his head and explained again and again: "The small shop was also deceived, and it was also deceived, and this painting is not ours...... It's the ...... we received."

"Profiteers! Refund! ”

"Return my money!"

"Quit, give me thirty times!"

A group of people grabbed the shopkeeper, and some people punched and kicked him, and he was angry.

The paintings they bought, originally thought they were genuine, but recently they 'hit the shirts' again and again, and when they heard that they were all sold in a store, they didn't know that they were all fake, so they rushed over together.

The fat shopkeeper's head was full of cold sweat, and he didn't care about anything else, so he explained again and again, but he didn't mention the return of the money.

"Let's go, go to Kaifeng Mansion!"

"Yes, pull them to Kaifeng Mansion, everyone goes!"

"Please let the Lord Qingtian call the shots and escort them away!"

A group of people were angry, robbed and smashed, and after the shop was empty, they pulled the fat shopkeeper to Kaifeng Mansion.

The fat shopkeeper was startled, refused to go, but refused to return the money, and was pulled out of the shop by a group of people who cursed loudly and dragged to Kaifeng Mansion.

Kaifeng Prefecture is now busy with the 'new law', and as the first 'test area', it is in a hurry, dealing with the turmoil of the government and the opposition, while making arrangements.

After a brief understanding, I saw that I couldn't mediate, so I pushed it directly to Dali Temple.

Dali Temple thought it was 'fraud', not a civil dispute, so they asked them to go to the Criminal Department to report the case.

The Criminal Department took it over and began to investigate, and it didn't take long to find out the person who sold fake paintings to the fat shopkeeper, but this nineteen-year-old man said that he only made half of it, and the other half was given to him by a 'little boy'.

The identity of the little boy is very mysterious, and he does not appear many times, especially recently. But his home is definitely not simple, because to make so many fake paintings, you have to see the real thing first.

The arrest officers of the Criminal Department had no choice but to arrange for people to squat everywhere.
