The people on the shore were very happy, and they were very happy to see such a scene

After hastily eating their food, they continued their march forward, without stopping.

A few days later, Jia Nidao and his party finally entered Lin'an again, and then immediately entered the palace, and in the study, Song Duzong met Jia Nidao.

"Weichen Jia seems to knock on the emperor, may the emperor live long..."

"Okay, Jia Aiqing, please hurry up first, what long live is not long live, these are all coaxing, if this is the case, how can Emperor Ningzong and Emperor Lizong die?"

Jia Rudao stood up from the ground with a respectful face.

"Jia Aiqing, it's very hard to come from Xiangyang this way, otherwise, you tell me about the recent events in Xiangyang?"

Jia Rudao said: "Back to the emperor, Xiangyang has been unfavorable for many years recently, not only has it suffered from locust plagues, but also droughts, and the people are very miserable, and they are about to lose food.

Song Duzong was shocked, why is it still like this? Why is that?

Finally, the Mongol army has retreated, how can there be another locust plague? God still doesn't let Da Song pass?

His face changed, and he immediately said: "Jia Aiqing, you tell me the details, I must know what is going on, and at the same time, I can't help but allocate funds to save the people."

Jia Rudao had already said the words he had thought of, "Back to the emperor, in recent years, there has been little rain in Xiangyang, and the land borders Mongolia, so many people outside dare not go to farming for fear of being innocently framed." ”

"Aren't the Song and Mongolia already reconciled? Why are they afraid? What's going on here? Could it be that my Mongolia is secretly killing my border people again?"

Jia Rudao said: "The emperor doesn't know, although the two countries have made peace, but the people below are on fire, especially the Mongolian people, they have a hot temper and a tall body, and it is really angry that they have to enter Xiangyang from time to time to kill innocents!" Then why didn't Xiangyang send many generals to inspect? The Mongol people did this, and they Kublai Khan didn't care? Jia Aiqing, I order you to send troops down to inspect.

Jia Rudao smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, the border between the two countries is hundreds of miles, how can you patrol this?" Besides, as soon as we walk on the front foot, someone will come on the back foot, and we can't stand it at all, Your Majesty. ”

"At the same time, at present, the Mongol army has reached a peace with us, and even if they are caught, they will not dare to kill them at will, otherwise Kublai Khan will be finished if he goes south."

Song Duzong helplessly went to the chair. He was negligent in collapsing over. "Then Jia Aiqing, is my Da Song really helpless? Could it be that Mongolia is bullying us like this?"

Jia Rudao chuckled, "Your Majesty, there is only one other way, and that is to bring all the people outside the city to the city, but what do they eat?" The peasants depend on the land for their food, and without the land, will they not be dead?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen has an opinion on this matter, I don't know if the emperor agrees.

Song Duzong waved his hand weakly, "Jia Aiqing has something to say, as long as it can be solved, the people will never refuse these things, anyway, Xiangyang City must be protected."

"In the past few decades, from Genghis Khan to Kublai Khan, their family has wasted a lot of thoughts for our Xiangyang, and I also have a headache, Jia Aiqing, as long as I can keep Xiangyang, I can agree to any request.

Jia Rudao weighed for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty, this matter is also simple, Xiangyang is a big city, there are millions of people in it, we must not let the people die outside the city, nor can we let the people in the city not have enough to eat."

Therefore, the minister hoped that the court could allocate 50 million pounds of silver, 500,000 horses, and 10,000 catties of grain.

"As long as you have these things, the minister can build many houses in the city and move all the people into it, and this 10,000,000 catties of grain is enough to eat for some days!"

"As long as the supply in the future is in time, the predicament of Xiangyang will be gone, and at the same time, it will not be easy for the Mongol army in the city like an iron bucket to attack us.

Song Duzong's eyes lit up, he felt that this was a very good way, this matter had to be done, Mongolia Mo said whether it could attack it, and even the Great Song Dynasty could destroy them.

Jia Rudao continued: "Your Majesty, there are millions of people in the entire Xiangyang City, even if Mongolia comes at that time, then we will be all soldiers, and Weichen will give each person a weapon, you say, how many people are enough to die in Kublai Khan?"

Song Duzong stood up abruptly from the dragon chair, very happy.

"Jia Aiqing, you are worthy of Jia Caicai, and you are also my maternal uncle, your attention is very good, I approve it, I will give you a dial immediately"

"At the same time, the emperor, I still have a city wall to build in Xiangyang City, it has been many years, it has long been in disrepair, if the enemy uses heavy weapons, it will not be possible to break the city tower, and by then, we will all fall short."

The more Song Duzong listened, the happier he became, and said happily: "What's so difficult about this? Jia Aiqing, I'll give it to you

Allocate 10,000,000 taels of silver, and at the same time give you a million horses, and give you 20,000 catties of grain, and at the same time, give you 100,000 soldiers, from now on, you can recruit troops and buy horses. ”

Jia Rudao knelt down and kowtowed, he didn't expect all this to come so easily, and even he himself didn't believe it.

"Jia Aiqing, you are a treasure in my heart, if it weren't for you, my Great Song Dynasty would have been destroyed as early as the time of Emperor Lizong, I really appreciate you." Jia seemed to be ashamed and didn't dare to take it, he told himself in his heart that this was for the entire Great Song Dynasty, for the dawn of the Great Song Dynasty, all this was nothing unusual. "Your Majesty, Wechen has already told you so much, and Wechen should also return to Xiangyang, but before leaving, Wechen still has a bold idea, that is, I want the emperor to approve Wechen to pay homage to his sister Jia Guifei and the former Emperor Song Lizong."

Song Duzong said: "What's so difficult about this? I promised you, Jia Aiqing, I will allow you to go, it doesn't matter how long you want to worship, I will not have an opinion. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

In Yongmu Ling, Jia Rudao walked here alone with fragrant wax papyrus, he was in a very low mood, and when he thought of the departure of his sister Jia Guifei, his heart was touched.

Walking in the Yongmu Mausoleum, he kept looking in all directions, this place was the presence of his sister Jia Guifei and Song Lizong's tomb, but he didn't expect that after a few years of not seeing, the two of them had already driven to the west.

Jia Rudao came to the tomb, looked at the big characters engraved on the tombstone, and felt infinitely sad at the moment, burning the straw paper while sitting on the ground, while lighting the incense wax.

"Sister and brother-in-law, I am like Dao, I didn't come when the two of you left, and I was late today."

"Due to the continuous southward movement of the Mongolian army in those years, the Great Song Dynasty continued to war, and they almost perished, if it weren't for me, where would there be the Great Song Dynasty today?"
