Chapter 702 The woman who stood up for the emperor

As soon as he entered the territory of Xijin Mansion, Zhao Zhen saw the laborers who were shuttling back and forth on the road to build roads, these people were recruited by the imperial court for money, and unlike the previous labor, the labor service in the Great Song Dynasty was not only to have food, but also to eat quite well, not only to get paid, but also to get a lot!

With such a guaranteed errand without losing money, the people are naturally willing to come, and even after the recruitment is full, people continue to come, as long as they are paid, they can cook regardless of the food!

Zhao Zhen sat in the carriage and listened to Cai Boyu's report a little surprised, raised his head and asked, "Our Great Song Dynasty labor can have such a rich reward?" ”

Cai Boyu pursed his lips and said: "Originally, there was none, but I don't know what Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan think, I have to say that this is to win the hearts of the people, even the Prime Minister Pang of the court, and Ding Xianggong also approved their proposal, no, the money and meals of these laborers are all drawn from the treasury!" ”

When he heard that it was Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan's idea, Zhao Zhen knew that this was probably to gather the hearts of the people of Xijin Mansion and let them see the strength of the Great Song Dynasty and give preferential treatment to the local people.

Otherwise, with Pang's steadiness, Ding Wei's buckle and rope are afraid that he will not approve this money, Zhao Zhen smiled: "Don't you know the intention?" Why be so angry, come and come, and accompany me to kill a game. ”

Cai Boyu skillfully took out the chessboard from the cabinet in the carriage, he only knew the location of the chessboard and tea set in the emperor's car, and he didn't know what was placed in other places, and he didn't dare to know.

The most popular in the Great Song Dynasty is Go, but the official family rarely plays Go, but prefers to chess, only when he thinks about difficult problems or has to make big moves, he will play Go, which helps him think, Cai Boyu saw that the official family looked good today, so he took out the chess and began to set the table.

I don't know why, with the passage of time, Zhao Zhen's chess path has become more and more open, and he is also using the dignified soldiers of Zhongzheng, and his original favorite small means are gone, but this kind of chess is the most difficult to parry, Cai Boyu knows how Zhao Zhen will go, but he still has no countermeasures, and the killed ones lost their armor and complained again and again.

Zhao Zhen likes to play chess with Cai Boyu, not because of how good his chess skills are, but because he has no reservations in front of him, and he does not even hide his desire to win, and his enterprising spirit is unobstructed, and there is no hypocrisy at all.

"No more, no more! His Majesty's chess path is too upright, and Weichen is not an opponent. ”

Cai Boyan looked at Zhao Zhen with resentment while cleaning up the chessboard, which made Zhao Zhen numb, this thing was really disgusting, and kicked him and said: "Don't be so coy in front of me, just say it if you have something to say!" ”

A chrysanthemum bloomed on Cai Boyu's face: "Official, the princess has a letter, and there is a letter from the queen's mother in it, let Weichen bring it with ......"

Zhao Zhenhu asked suspiciously: "Yu Yan's family letter?" Why don't you go to the delivery service, and let Miao Yuan hand it over! ”

Cai Boyu took out a bright yellow silk from his arms with a shy face and said: "This minister doesn't know, but I heard Miaoyuan say that His Majesty's arrow in the palace of Xijin Mansion was learned by the queen's mother, and this book is ......."

Zhao Zhen's face was on the side, the remnants of the Liao Dynasty attempted to assassinate him in Xijin Mansion back then, but he had already explained the matter of being hit by an arrow in his arm, and he must not let the harem know, and now it seems that Wang Yuyan not only knows, but even understands the whole process of the matter.

When I opened the silk and saw it, it was like this, it was full of Wang Yuyan and Yang Caiwei's worried words, and there were also two coquettish reproaches wrapped in it, Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, I am afraid that these two most noble women in the world will kill the Liao people in Xijin Mansion.

Zhao Zhen turned his head to Cai Boyu, who was pretending to clean up the chessboard, and asked, "The harem won't let the prince ask about the affairs of the Xijin Mansion, right?" ”

Cai Boyu's body stiffened, and with a stiff smile on his face, he slowly turned his head and said: "The prince didn't ask, the harem directly passed the decree to Xia Zhu this time, I'm afraid that the Liao people in Xijin Mansion are not living well......"

Zhao Zhen's face changed, he knew these two women, Wang Yuyan and Yang Caiwei were one of them the queen and the other was the princess, but they were also women, in their eyes, whoever hurt their man would have to pay the price, obviously their injuries made them break out.

I don't know what kind of expressions these two women will have when they see the wounds on their bodies......

"Alas...... I didn't expect the harem to know about this, and my previous plan to buy the Liao people must not be ruined by the two of them. Command the car to drive and quickly go to Sijin Province! ”

Cai Boli nodded hurriedly, got out of the car and sat on the wheels to blow the brass whistle on the car, the crisp whistle made the speed of the entire convoy increase, and the convoy that had been on the highway accelerated and galloped on the paved road.

It has arrived in the territory of Xijin Province, and the road has been paved, thanks to the role of merchants, whenever the Great Song Dynasty occupies the next piece of land, they will flock here to explore money-making projects, so the highway as a transportation hub first came into being.

Xijin Mansion is the Nanjing of the Liao people, with many special products of the Liao Dynasty, the famous Khitan saddle is one of them, after receiving a good reward, the Liao people do not mind working in the factory of the Song people, so the exquisite and cumbersome Khitan saddle became the best-selling horse supplies in the Great Song Dynasty.

The construction of the Xijin Mansion Highway has also become more and more rapid, and even has begun to extend to the direction of Datong Mansion, so Zhao Zhen's car will quickly gallop towards the Xijin Mansion, originally Zhao Zhen still wanted to inspect the state capitals along the way, but now it seems that there is no extra time, so the supervision of the Great Song Dynasty can only come to inspect, and the rules established back then have brought benefits to the present.

Zhao Zhen's imperial drive is different from the previous imperial car, not only is it more comfortable to ride, but also the speed can be very fast, the carriage with good shock absorption has given up a lot of decorative things, and under the pull of six horses, it is like a sword to the Xijin Mansion, Zhao Zhen knows his woman too well, the two beauties are like flowers and jade, and the eyes of the heart are not very big, especially when it comes to themselves, they will not show mercy to the Liao people, and the Liao people of the Xijin Mansion are afraid that they will be unlucky.

It was not easy for him to establish a good image in the hearts of these attached Liaoren, if he was spoiled by these two women...... How unjust that should be!

Originally, the three-day journey took only one day and one night to arrive, Zhao Zhen specially instructed the health department not to stop overnight at night, and to rush back to Xijin Mansion at full speed, Peng Qi could only explain and let the carriage rush overnight.

When he arrived at Xijin Mansion, Zhao Zhen saw a row of heads hanging on the city gate, and it had been some time, and his heads were rotten and he couldn't see the appearance, Zhao Zhen patted his head and said secretly: "It's over, all the work has been lost!" ”
