The siege of Guangzhou was lifted, Zhao Zhen's mood can be said to be beautiful, although a letter can not fully describe the whole process, but the result in his hands is good, an emperor wants the general direction rather than those side details.

As long as the Han people are not threatened with their lives, then they can live well, and the talk of Canton has long been a thing of the past, and recently they are talking about another big man.

At the Bianjing headquarters of the Great Song Bank, Fan Chunyou used a pencil to write and draw on a report, the look on his face was a little ugly, and when he heard the secretary's tea, he said in a bad tone: "How many times have I told you, knock on the door before coming in, if you don't want to do it, go to the administration to settle your salary and leave." ”

He thought that the secretary would admit his mistake with tears in his eyes, and then went out softly to close the door, but after a while he didn't seem to hear the sound of the door closing, and when he looked up, the tears in his eyes could no longer be held back.

"How old are you still crying, are you ashamed! It's more energetic, it's just that you're thin, isn't that kid deducting your money? ”

Fan Zhongyan returned to Beijing to report on work, but he didn't see his son at home, and only after asking the people in the family did he know that his son was working here, and then he saw the scene in front of him.

Fan Chunyou wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said with a smile: "What's so embarrassing for my son to cry in front of my father, you don't tell the child when you come back, so that I can pick you up." ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "Why, I still complain about your father, I'm not seventy or eighty anymore, and there are escorts, why do you want to pick me up, you have your job now, and you don't have time to pick me up like this!" ”

"You still have time to pick up your father, you still have time to go home, this month because you have to do quarterly accounts, so you are a little busy, usually not too busy, how long have you been in my office."

Fan Zhongyan looked at his son's office with a little envy, the red wool carpet, all the mahogany furniture, and a few potted plants repaired by special people, in such conditions, the mood of the office people will be much better!

Fan Chunyou noticed his father's gaze and said embarrassedly: "These are all made with chapters, I said it was too extravagant, but he disagreed, saying that such a big bank, tattered and tattered will make people laugh." ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "Anyway, it's not our family's money that is spent, you are comfortable with your father and I can still be happy, these are all trivial things, how do you know about this money village now." ”

Fan Chunyou said a conservative figure "sixty percent"

"What do you think?"

"You can do everything with money, money can fight wars, you can feed countless people, you can see how rich a country is, anyway, if you want to have a major decision, the bank will be the first to know."

Fan Zhongyan took a sip of his son's good tea, and couldn't help rolling his eyes, the more he mixed up, the more he went back, he had never drunk such a good tea himself, and it must have been produced by that kid's family.

"There are rumors that the imperial court is going to merge the bank into the three divisions, what do you think?"

"This is an inevitable trend, and a behemoth that is so big in the hands of an individual will inevitably eventually cause disasters to the country and the imperial court, and only when the accusation is in the hands of the state and is supervised by the law will it develop normally."

Fan Zhongyan glanced at his son in surprise and said, "I thought you would object?" After all, not everyone will let go of such a big fortune easily, is this what you mean or what you mean. ”

Fan Chunyou smiled bitterly: "Do you think such a big decision is something I can make?" You may not believe it, but money is now a string of numbers in my eyes, and I don't feel it at all, so you will go back to Beijing for a few days this time. ”

"I'll go back after the debriefing, Li Yuanhao and Yelu Zongzhen are about to start, and there can't be no one in the northwest."

Fan Chunyou asked quietly, "Father, do you think we will fight with Western Xia or Liao?" ”

Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "It's unlikely, I remember that you didn't like war before!" Why did you take the initiative to ask now, and besides, the war has nothing to do with your money bank! ”

"Bank" "Oh, it's not called a money bank now, it's called a bank, it's a slip of the tongue." ”

Fan Chunyou didn't plan to correct his father's slip of the tongue, and said: "War is not the kind you understand, there is another kind of war called economic war, if there is a real war, our bank must also make some preparations." ”

"Time flies, six years have passed, and you know when I first heard the word 'economic war', who would believe the words of a child, and six years later everything he said came true like a prophecy."

"I don't doubt that he can become the emperor if he says that he can become the emperor, and there is a greater possibility that I will help him, but he has no ambition, father, can you understand your son's feelings?"

Who is Fan Zhongyan, there may be many people who can compare with him in the history of 5,000 years, but in the Song Dynasty, he is definitely the first, and even Wang Anshi, who came later, cannot be compared.

"Believe your father, it is definitely a disaster for him to be the emperor, he can be the prime minister, be the privy envoy, but he can't be the emperor, he can't become a figure like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, if you don't understand, then you can think more about what he did."

Fan Chunyou said: "Soft-hearted, affectionate, and will not refuse the request of a friend at all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the advantages of an emperor will indeed become a disadvantage, I think this is why the emperor believes in him unconditionally." ”

Fan Zhongyan's eyes showed undisguised pride, he always felt a little indebted to his eldest son before, but now it seems that he has accumulated a lot of money, and what else can be better than the pride that his son brings to a father.

"You can see that these are already very good, why did the emperor give Hanzhang unlimited trust, because Hanzhang can help him do what he can't do, when I was the prime minister, I was exhausted every day, but the treasury is still emptying day by day, what about Hanzhang? I guess you know better than I am! ”

At this time, the secretary knocked on the door, and the conversation between father and son ended, and Fan Chunyou sent his father out of the bank gate, and after agreeing on a place to eat at night, Fan Chunyou began his boring work again.

Fan Zhongyan, a reformist, can appear again in the eyes of everyone in the court, and the widow of the old school is not very happy, Your Majesty, you have arranged Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi in two important positions, what do you want to do.

After years of political struggle, the two of them have become accustomed to these attacks from political enemies, you attack you, I defend mine, you can't hurt me anyway, the main thing is that you are helpless against me.

Zhang Qi looked at the dark clouds above his head and scolded: "This fucking month has finished all the rain in my northwest for thirty years, what the hell is the weather, it rains every day, and it can annoy people to death." ”

Di Qing wiped the water stains on his face and said: "Don't complain, Lord Lu seems to be a little dissatisfied with our progress, we are now in Guigang, there is not much road from Yongzhou, I wonder if we should send some people with good physical strength to intercept Nong Zhigao." ”

Zhang Qi said: "In fact, it doesn't matter whether the troops are divided or not, they don't have much physical strength to chase them for more than half a month, and they have eaten everything they can eat everywhere we pass by, and they can't escape back to Yongzhou." ”

A young general came over and said, "Two generals, we found traces left by Nong Zhi Gaoxin not far ahead, and the time was between one hour and two hours. ”

Zhang Qi laughed and said, "How about it, see what I said is good!" I knew that the dog thing couldn't hold it anymore, so I went to tell the forward battalion that we had bitten them, and if we couldn't read him, we couldn't compare it to the battlefield, then Lao Tzu wouldn't live. ”

Yang Huaiyu went to give the order with infinite dreams, his father's defeat was a fatal blow to the Yang family, but fortunately, Lu Zifei pleaded with the court to let his father avoid the disaster of killing, and all the burdens of the Yang family now fall on themselves, and whether they can restore the glory of the Yang family during the Northern Expedition can only depend on themselves.

Di Qing said with a smile: "It's a good material to be a soldier soon, but it's still a little frizzy, if you have the patience to polish it, you will definitely be a big general." ”

Zhang Qi said: "You and I don't need to care about this matter, I want to kill Nong Zhigao now, and then find a watertight house to sleep in, if it weren't for Lord Lu letting us take those Langzhong, I really can't imagine how many brothers will die on the road." ”

"The preparation of the adults is very sufficient, Lingnan has always been not a good place, those who have been demoted and assigned have come here to reform, the reason is because the climate and geographical conditions here are too poor, and now this is all good."

Zhang Qi was not interested in listening to Di Qing's words, he said: "You take the Chinese army to suppress the formation, and I will take the forward and left army to find Nong Zhigao's bad luck first." ”

"Remembering what the adults explained, Nong Zhi can't be killed, so he can only rush to the west, and destroy the adult's plan, I think he will scrape you alive."

"I know, you have so many things to do, I really don't know what to think."

Nong Zhigao was sick, his spirit was very poor, and he was carried by four people when he ran away, but he didn't expect to be arrogant when he came out, and he was like a bear when he went back, and now he doesn't have the luxury of being an emperor, he just wants to have his previous life, don't worry about food, don't worry about clothing, some people call themselves leaders, and some people call themselves kings.

But all this seems to be far away from him, he has nothing, and the tens of thousands of people around him do not obey his command, and he seems to feel his end.

"Strategist, I regret not listening to you!"

Huang Shimi's face also said with a hint of sadness: "King, you take care of your injuries, we still have a chance, we will definitely be able to make a comeback, we still have time." ”

Nong Zhigao laughed at himself: "You don't need to comfort me, I can't do self-deceptive things, and even if I survive, I can only live the life of a rat hiding everywhere." ”

Before he finished speaking, the team behind him began to riot, and he heard the soldiers say in fear, Song Jun caught up, and seeing that there were no soldiers who wanted to resist in the slightest, Nong Zhigao's last heart was gone.
