Cao Wei's right army successfully took over Miyun City, since the Song people took over Miyun City, the atmosphere in this city has become much lighter, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty has been quite well entertained, the restaurant and tea shop in Miyun City are free of charge for the forbidden army, and the money is naturally from the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty.

This is probably the easiest "city capture" since the Northern Expedition.

Most of the people in Miyun City are Han Chinese, only a small number of Liao people are among them, and when they saw the Great Song army coming, naturally many of them began to worry about their future, whether they would be oppressed as they did to the Song people.

But soon they found that it was unnecessary to worry, the army of the Great Song Dynasty did not invade them, and even said that there was no infringement on the entire Miyun City, and they entered the walls of Miyun City in a neat procession, and began to organize the city defense equipment and set up camp in an orderly manner.

After years of infiltration and operation by the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, Miyun City has sufficient grain and grass, complete equipment, and many merchants are constantly transporting all kinds of materials to participate in the construction of the city defense, and they know that this land belongs to the Great Song Dynasty from today onwards!

It is also a place for them to settle down, of course, they must protect the safety here at all costs, after all, the property they swept from the capital of the Liao Dynasty is here, and the amount is so huge that Cao Wei secretly smacks his tongue.

Gold and silver were already the most common things, huge pearls, crystal clear agate, and unnamed gemstones, piled together like a brilliant hill, piercing the eyes in the sun.

Except for some of them, which were handed over to the state, the rest were the private belongings of the merchants themselves, and the clerks in the army gasped after the statistics were completed, and these possessions amounted to 70 million yuan, and they were conservatively estimated.

Cao Wei has lived for such a long time, what kind of scene has he never seen, but when he saw this number, he was still shocked and speechless, and the taxes of the Great Song Dynasty in a year are so much, right?

Since the official family was exempted from the harsh taxes of the five generations, the Great Song Dynasty paid a lot of taxes, but even if it was more, it was only 70 million yuan, could it be that these merchants looted the treasure trove of the Liao Dynasty? ! Otherwise, there would be so much money!

Seeing Cao Wei's stunned, the shopkeeper quickly explained: "This is the property I brought from the Liao Dynasty to the capital, and everyone discussed it, eighty percent of it was handed over to the treasury, and the rest ......."

Cao Wei shook his head and said: "These things don't count, of course, what the old man said doesn't count, you can only play Your Majesty to deal with it, to put it mildly, so much money is all rewarded to you by Your Majesty, do you dare to ask for it?" ”

The businessmen were slightly startled, Cao Wei's words had a large part of the threat in them, yes! They don't dare to ask for so much wealth! If there was no Great Song Dynasty as their backing, this time they would definitely be eaten by the Liao people, and there would not be even bones left.

"We know what Cao Shumi means, and we will definitely not let the officials and the court suffer!"

Shopkeeper Ge and the others are all old fritters who have been working in the mall for many years, how can they not know the meaning of Cao Wei's words? This is to let everyone go to the official family and the court, and hand over this money to the national treasury!

Even if they are a little unwilling, they still have to do this, Cao Wei's words have made it very clear, this wealth is not something that they businessmen can have, and everyone here is not a fool, so they can naturally know what this money means.

How can the wealth that can withstand the tax of the Great Song Dynasty for a year be a small number? They can't feel at ease even if they take it!

The instinct of businessmen is to think more, and after Cao Wei's reminder, they are more likely to think crankily, such as whether they should put this money into Cai Ji, so that it is equivalent to giving the money to the official family?

They are accustomed to thinking about problems with the thinking of businessmen, and Cao Wei's misleading all the way, so they naturally think that the money should be handed over to the official family as a "protection fee".

Naturally, these merchants wanted the emperor and the court to accept the money, just as they wanted to raise taxes on the merchants, but the seemingly strange logic had a rather clever purpose.

The court took more taxes from the merchants, the greater the merchants' contribution to the Great Song Dynasty, the greater the protection they received, and the more reliable they would be in making money in the future, because the money they earned by virtue of their own ability, and the more taxes the court collected, the greater the protection for them.

Of course, the greater their contribution to the Great Song Dynasty, the higher their status in the Great Song Dynasty will be, and the businessmen are not very resistant to the taxation of the Great Song Dynasty, but are very supportive!

The richer a person is, the more he understands his own value, and of course the more he cherishes his life.

Cao Wei now knew why the official family asked him to come to Miyun, Danzhou, it turned out to be to receive these merchants, and the wealth they brought was really amazing. This money is enough to buy the land of Yanyun, anyway, Cao Wei feels that there must not be so much money in Taizu's Fengzhuang treasury back then.

Cao Wei immediately understood the deep meaning, now his first task is to protect these merchants and their belongings, as long as the Chinese army that sends these people to the official house safely is a great merit, even greater than the credit of defending Miyun City!

Cao Wei knew that it was impossible to hold Miyun with only his own 30,000 people, this place was located in the south of Zhongjing Road in the Liao Dynasty, facing Zhongjing Dading Mansion, it was impossible to hold this place without 60,000 or 70,000 people, but if there was an official artillery, Cao Wei believed that it should be able to withstand it.

But this is just his wishful thinking, after all, the official family's Chinese army and Di Qing's left army have not yet conquered Xijin Mansion, once Xijin Mansion, an important transportation hub in the land of Yanyun, is supplemented by the highway connection of the Great Song Dynasty, Cao Wei believes that Yanyun at that time is the bag of the Great Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, it is too early, Taizu also reached the Gaoliang River, but the fiasco there is also painful and unforgettable, tens of thousands of elites with the destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty Yu Wei are buried there in the green mountains.

Now the official family is also the royal driver, and they have also arrived at the Gaoliang River, but now the Great Song Dynasty's march is faster and the offensive is more fierce, Cao Wei can't help but wonder if the defeat will be as fast as Taizong at the beginning......

This is an inevitable conjecture, the similarity of history will always make people preconceived, and all he can do is plan for the worst.

But at this time, Zhao Zhen was planning more long-term things, Xia Zhu stood aside and waited quietly, Peng Qi was guarding outside the tent, Zhao Zhen gently blew the ink of the handwritten edict and handed it to Xia Zhu and said: "Let my personal guard Li Jiu pass back to Tokyo, and order him to check and supervise the supply transportation all the way, and not slack off for a day, if the military law is overdue!" ”

Xia Zhu took the official's edict, put it in a special bamboo tube and sealed it with fire paint, and asked Zhao Zhen to use the seal before leaving his own seal on it to ensure that it was okay.

"The minister is going to look for Li Jiu, can the official family have an explanation?"

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Order Cai Boyu to come, I want him to personally escort the supplies!" ”

Xia Zhu's body tensed and said, "The minister knows...... I'm afraid of the eldest princess......"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "She will know which is more important, and she will not stop it, now the situation seems to be favorable to my Great Song, but winning or losing is in an instant, steady and steady is what I need most!" ”

Xia Zhu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister retires!" ”
