For several months, not even a single military report was delivered, and Han Shizhong, who was marching silently, bypassed the enemy's field of vision, and finally handed over the first military report.

"The war in Yingzhou is difficult, the Jin State has increased its troops by 30,000 elite soldiers, Yuguan itself is unbreakable, and Han Shizhong has failed to conquer Yuguan." Zhao Huan was stunned.

The defenders of Yuguan are indeed the same 10,000 waste Khitannus. It's not that the Imperial City Division's information is wrong.

The 40,000 family army and the 20,000 forbidden army led by Han Shizhong did not gain nothing, they came out of Cangzhou, attacked the city all the way, and fought under the Yuguan.

But in Yuguan, the city guards defended the city for a few days, and then waited for reinforcements.

What's even more tricky is that Wanyan Zongwang was run from Dabeiguan to Yuguan by Yue Fei.

If there is only the Khitannu, it is definitely only a matter of time before Yuguan, that is, Shanhaiguan, is conquered. It's a pity that there is Wanyan Zongwang, a fierce general, and countless golden people.

The Jin people didn't seem to be an opponent under Zhao Huan. In fact, it is more due to geographical advantages.

The Battle of Taiyuan, the Battle of Yanmen Pass, the Battle of Ningwu Pass, and the Battle of Xingzhou Gorge were all fought in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. The battle of Datong was fought on the territory of the Khitans, that is, the Liao State.

But this Pingzhou and Yingzhou have always been in the hands of the Jin people, and when Zhang Jue was re-sentenced, he briefly belonged to the Song people, and then after Zhang Jue fled to Yanjing Mansion to join Guo Yaoshi, Pingzhou returned to the hands of the Jin people.

In other words, Han Shizhong's battle was fought on the territory of the Jinren, with no popular support, no geographical advantages, and it was a siege and a pass.

It's even harder.

"Yuguan is not peaceful, I heard that the official family has conquered the counties of Shanxi, the army has a stronghold, there will be a strategy, if there is no Yuguan, or it is difficult to last, please do not let go of the war in Yuguan."

"There will be a plan, the golden soldiers are tired and unable to get out. It is necessary to renovate the pass in the military village to prevent the gold thieves from going south. At the end of the attached drawing, please read it carefully, the huge amount of money consumed, and I hope that the officials will have mercy. ”

Zhao Huan frowned and looked at the drawings handed in by Han Shizhong.

His meaning is very simple, Yuguan can't be defeated, he can't do anything, the Jin people rely on the right time and place, and the Song people are difficult to overcome, but the Jin soldiers are also very tired from him.

Therefore, I want to build a pass, which is far away from the Jin people and blocks the Jin soldiers.

Less than five miles out of Yuguan, build another pass in the place of your own camp!

It can block the Jin people from going south, and it can also become a geographical advantage.

If you can't beat it, then build another pass, this idea is amazing.

But it costs a lot more, and there is also food and grass.

This Han Shizhong is worthy of being Han Wu, is he so skinny in the war?

If I can't beat the city pass, I'll build another one and block you.

I can't get by, and you don't want to come.

As for spending money, money is capricious.

Zhao Huan has a lot of money now and can't count it, what can be solved with money, is that a thing?

"Seed Shaobao, do you think what General Han said is feasible? ……”

Zhao Huan was silent and sighed.

"Zhao Duzhi, transfer the drawings of General Han to Lieutenant Chong, General Zong, Captain Yue and others to see, and then settle the matter. Send a fast horse to pass through. As soon as possible, the map will be completed on the city. ”

"Let the land transfer envoy come over, I will transport grain in the direction of Pingzhou and Yuguan, and also notify He Li, arrange capable officials, and transfer workers and craftsmen to Pingzhou. If you can't beat it, then block it. Zhao Huan asked Zhao Ying to send someone to do it.

Lu Zai, Lu You's father, Gyeonggi transit envoy, was in charge of the army's grain and grass during this time, and did his best to do things.

Zhao Huan was not treated badly, he was originally a deputy envoy, and Zhao Huan removed the deputy word for him.

"Minister Lu Zai, meet the official family." Lu Zai came to Zhao Huan and bowed his head and said.

"Land transshipment envoy, I want to transport grain to Pingzhou! Hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of people. I don't know if the grain and grass on Hedong Road are enough? Zhao Huan asked.

Lu Zai's face was bitter, he had exhausted all the methods before he could make up for the supply of grain and grass.

However, with a strange order from the official family, the pawn was locked in the Eight Paths, and all the grain and grass from the direction of Bianjing were cut off, and now only the grain and grass brought by the labor relief supervisor from the Daimyo's mansion were broken.

"The amount of grain and grass in Guanzhonghe East Road and other places in Guanjia is not very sufficient. If you want to move, you can only move and close the position. Lu Zai said very embarrassed.

Closing a position with a regular draw? What is that?

[Historical Translator: Harmony Method.] It is a method of state-owned management of the food supply in history. In good harvest years or in grain-producing areas, the government buys grain at low prices to avoid famine when the harvest fails. 】

[Chang Ping, originated from the Warring States Period, Li Kui's Pingbian in Wei, that is, to buy grain storage in the harvest year, so as not to hurt the peasants, and sell the stored grain in the bad year to stabilize the grain price. A good year is a good year, and a thrifty year is a good year. 】

There is nothing new under the sun! Zhao Huan believed this sentence again.

Lu Zai naturally saw the doubts of the official family, and said: "The official family doesn't know, in the second year of Xining, Wang Anshi and Wang Wengong implemented the Qingmiao Law, and the Changping Law was replaced by the Qingmiao Law. ”

"The 15 million guan stones of the money valley it has accumulated, including the accumulation of Guanghui Cang, are used as the money capital of green seedlings, which is loaned before the summer and autumn of each year, and repaid with the two taxes after the harvest."

"The revenue of the Qingmiao Law is an important income of the court, and if it moves the Qian Gu that is often closed on Hedong Road, the Qingmiao Law will be wiped out on Hedong Road. Please also let the official know. ”

"Now is the season of spring ploughing on Hedong Road, if you move this often closed money valley, there will be endless troubles."

Zhao Huan understood that he had learned a little about the Qingmiao Law, which was similar to the small agricultural loans issued by the state to poor and middle peasants, and the loan cycle was half a year from spring to autumn.

Wang Anshi, Wang Wengong's original intention was good, but Cai Jing and others wantonly pulled leverage and pushed up the interest.

The good green seedling method has become a usury that destroys families and destroys households.

"The impact of the abolition of the Seedlings Law, or rather, the consequences of the constant closing of positions. Will the spring ploughing on Hedong Road be delayed? Zhao Huan asked.

This is the key, Juntian on Hedong Road has already begun to get up in full swing, if Chang Ping moves his own foundation, it is Shi Lezhi.

Lu Zai nodded, it is true. This money valley is pulled to the front line to fight, where will those poor middle peasants get the money to buy grain seeds? Where is the grain that lasts until the new grain is ripe?

The beneficiaries of the Hedong Road division are the proletariat with the highest enthusiasm and have no savings.

"What was it done before, when you don't use the regular closing position, how to do the shortage of grain and grass?" Zhao Huan asked curiously.

"It's easy to get back. Sell grain with money. ”

"Jiangnan lacks money and food, and private casting is a capital crime. Bianjing minted money for grain. When there is a shortage, you have to rely on big businessmen to buy grain. The official family ordered the customs to be locked, and if they were not locked, they would be able to turn over some grain and grass from the merchants. ”

Zhao Huan shook his head, where is this self-locked, it is clearly a rebellion of the Eight Gates, and he locked himself in Hedong Road.

"It's hard!" Zhao Huan was stunned.

"Official, a letter from Bianjing. It's Lee Dazai's. Shen Cong ran in from outside and handed Zhao Ying a letter.

This time, the letter was enveloped once.
