"The third matter," Zhao Xingde took a deep breath, with a hint of ash in the cold air, "escort my envoy to Luoyang and relay my two requests to the Xia Imperial Court......" His words were slow and clear, and Yang Zaixing's eyes widened in surprise as he listened.

............

Luoyang, the two stone lions in front of the government order office are majestic, there are two rows of officials with high chests and protruding bellies standing at the door, the yamen of the Henan prefect of the Song Dynasty is now changed to the Luoyang government office, but from the appearance, everything is the same as before. After Yuan Xingzong was transferred to Luoyang by the Chang'an Relief Administration, in addition to accompanying a few relatives and subordinates, all the officials who stayed in Xijing and Henan in the Song Dynasty were retained. Yuan Xingzong screened the virtuous and foolish, and used the amount of talent, and for several months, the rewarded and punished were all happy and convinced. After Cao Xi was awarded the title of Marquis of Dongning, he immediately handed over his military power and took his eldest son to Dunhuang to face the saint and be entitled. Before and after this, there was no major upheaval in the entire Luoyang market.

In the Luoyang Decree Office, Liu Wengu stood up, shook Wu Jie and Yuan Xingzong to the ground, and said respectfully: "First of all, the Great Song Dynasty has recovered Henan, since the two countries are friends and not enemies, please open and close the trade of the Great Xia Imperial Court; Second, if the Song people living in Guanzhong want to send money and grain to help their families in Guandong, please ask the Xia court to let them go. I also hope that Lord Yuan and General Wu will be merciful for the sake of the people of the two countries of the same race and the same race, and grant permission. Lord Zhao is grateful on behalf of dozens of prefectures and counties in Henan and millions of people. Although his attitude is respectful, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and his speech is polite, but his demeanor is very neat, revealing a kind of vitality unique to young people.

"Lord Liu was young and young, so he took on the important task of this messenger. It seems that General Zhao is not eclectic, and he values you very much. Yuan Xingzong looked at Liu Wengu and said in a low voice, "Can you tell me about General Zhao's current situation?" Seeing Liu Wengu's surprised face, he smiled slightly and explained, "General Zhao mentioned a lone brigade to settle Henan and pacify the people, which is quite admirable," he turned his head to look at Wu Jie, "General Wu has also told some stories about Lord Zhao, he is indeed not an ordinary person, so I asked more." Wu Jie smiled and nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case. It's just that Luoyang Ling Yuan Xingzong still doesn't know Zhao Xingde's identity as a general, and he doesn't know that the marching division has prepared a mansion in Luoyang for Zhao Xingde's family.

"It's good," Liu Wengu suppressed his heart and said slowly, "Since the restoration of the Beijing Division, Lord Zhao has dispatched generals to slightly Dingzhou County, recruited heroes, and gathered the people. Henan under the rule of Lord Zhao is full of devastation and ruins, but it is like the grass and trees that have been robbed by fire, although only embers are seen on the surface, but the rhizomes are still there, just waiting for the wind and rain to trigger, it will be thriving......"

Wu Jie glanced at Yuan Xingzong and smiled, the Military Intelligence Department has its own eyes and ears in the Kanto. Since Zhao Xingde was stationed in Bianliang, it is roughly as Liu Wengu said. The Song army almost completely abandoned the prefectures and counties near the river, and only built some beacons near the river banks, and moved the people to the vicinity of Bianliang, which was deep in defense, which was a wise choice.

More than ten days ago, the Ezhou Imperial Court reported that Zhao Xingde's appointment was changed to Tokyo Stay-at-Tokyo, and the Gyeonggi Hebei Zhulu was pacified, and his subordinates were changed to the Tokyo Left-behind Division. Wang Gui was promoted to the capital of the southeast battalion, and the men and horses left in Ezhou in the southeast battalion and the new firearms battalion were merged into the new southeast battalion. The recovery of Bianjing, so that the people of the Great Song Dynasty states and counties were boosted, Zhao Xingde's request for grain was released, and the scholars of the school were copied everywhere, up to the official gentry, and the lower Riba people, all ran to tell each other. Under the excitement of the crowd, all parties did not dare to risk the condemnation of the world and cut off the grain and grass of Zhao Xingde's department. The imperial court began to send grain and grass to the north intermittently, but the number was far from enough for the two million soldiers and civilians mentioned in Zhao Xingde's recital. Before the Liao army retreated, all the granaries in Henan's treasury were looted. The Kanto people send money and food to their families, not only are they blocked by the roads, but the amount is only a drop in the bucket.

Liu Wengu's main purpose was to relocate the remnants of the people living in remote areas, especially on the south bank of the Yellow River, to the vicinity of Bianliang, so that the officials and soldiers could protect them from being harassed by the Liao army or captured by robbers. After Henan went through the military robbery, most of the rich and noble families moved south, and the surviving people were taken away by the Liao army, the population was nearly halved, there were few people and many lands, and the countryside was deserted, and Zhao Xingde had to implement the system of tuntian. The people were organized into cantonment camps according to their original hometowns, with 100 households as one tun, five tuns as one battalion, and ten battalions as an army. Men over the age of 14 and under the age of 50 were all assigned to the regimental training, and under the leadership of the officers, they took advantage of the autumn and winter to repair the camp and drill the queue. The old and weak women and children are busy sowing wheat seeds, and most of the land near Bianliang is ripe, and it can be harvested after the beginning of spring. Minor boys were also incorporated into the battalion and taught by some escorts and literate soldiers. The so-called recruitment of heroes is actually a combination of suppression and appeasement. In addition to Zhao Xingde's headquarters, Yang Zaixing, Lu Mingyu, Luo Xianshi and other major generals are seizing the time to exterminate the robber village, which can not only obtain strong men, but also grab some grain and grass.

Yuan Xingzong questioned: "As far as Yuan knows, since the Liao army invaded the south, the Central Plains have been devastated, and most of the well-dressed scholars in Henan have moved south, and even the Bianliang puppet dynasty has suffered from the lack of suitable officials. General Zhao appeased the displaced people, where did he get so many manpower for a while? Wu Jie looked at Liu Wengu and said with a smile: "If General Zhao doesn't have any manpower, I can send some sergeants over." It's also his old department, and it's easy to use. ”

Liu Wengu was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand what "it is also an old department" meant, but he couldn't ask Wu Jie directly for a while, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart and arch his hand: "There is a lot of waste to be revived, and there is indeed a need for manpower everywhere." Fortunately, when Lord Zhao was training the Baoyi Army in the southeast, a large number of scholars joined the army, and there were hundreds of dozens of people under the command of Lord Zhao. Between the march and the battle, Lord Zhao's lecture hall pointed out the way to govern the country through the world, and he did not stop every day, and everyone was quite profitable. Therefore, despite the complicated affairs since the restoration of the Central Plains, Lord Zhao's talented people can barely cope with it. ”

"I see, Lord Liu was born on the right path of Taixue," Yuan Xingzong arched his hand and smiled, "Disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

"Where, where, Lord Yuan is a scholar on duty at the Tiance Academy," Liu Wengu said humbly, "It should be the lower officials who are disrespectful." ”

Since Yuan Xingzong served as the commander of Luoyang, he had many contacts with the officials of the former Song State, and knew that the officials of the Song State attached great importance to the "right way" background. Since Luoyang returned to summer, the Kanto scholars who studied in Chang'an and Dunhuang Bachelor's Mansion are like carp crossing the river, which is also a manifestation of the Kanto people's emphasis on the "right way". Therefore, Yuan Xingzong also followed the customs, as long as the other party was from Jinshi or Taixue, he would first "lose respect", and from time to time show the identity of the Chang'an Bachelor's Mansion, and after winning the acceptance of the Kwantung officials, it would be much easier to do things.

"In a short period of time, after doing so many things, General Zhao must have eaten and eaten all night, and he has exhausted himself." Yuan Xingzong said with emotion, "Although there are some entanglements between the two countries, they are not hostile, since the Great Song Dynasty has recovered Bianliang, the Prime Minister's Mansion Trade Cao has never had a government order to prohibit trade with the Great Song Dynasty, and now it is a matter of course to switch trade." And the Kwantung people send money and food to help their families, it is human nature, it is reasonable, and the official will not stop it. He paused and asked, "What does General Wu think?" ”

"Exactly." Wu Jie said with a straight face, "These two are of course, in fact, there is no need to send a special request." ”

He brought 10,000 horsemen into Luoyang, took over the men and horses of the Xijing camp of the Song Kingdom, and was busy eliminating the weak and leaving the original forbidden army strong. The strong forbidden army was elated when its treatment was improved, but the redundant soldiers who had been cut down were not easy to accommodate. The number of the head of the Luoyang battalion is related to the number of captains, and the Protectorate is very cautious, and it has not been determined until now, and the people in the Song army camp are also panicking. In the past ten days, Wu Jie's head has been so busy, how can he have the heart to care about these two painless requests.

"The younger generation represents my family Lord Zhao," Liu Wengu stood up and fell to the ground again, "Thank you two Gao Yi." ”

............

The autonomous area of the Chamber of Commerce outside Chang'an City is full of traffic from morning to night, and it is very noisy. The two major wars in the west and east did not seem to affect the market of Chang'an, but had a prosperous scene unique to wartime. The market prices of various farming industries, shops, mills, mines, and workshops were much higher, and because of the needs of the war, iron ore and iron factories were more than twice as expensive as before.

In the Accord of Changsheng Building, Chun Yuyue picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Today, I borrowed Li Guogong's wine to respect Guogong and the three leaders." ”

Zhou Longxi, Cheng Changgeng and Zhu Shipeng raised their wine glasses together and said with a smile: "Chun Yu is polite." Chun Yu Yue is the head of the tin iron and wood shop, he runs the Chun Yu iron shop, whether iron or military weapons, are very prosperous, almost as soon as the goods are baked to be bought, he is a master of iron smelting, and every year from the Ordnance Department to collect nearly sky-high apprentice money. Even the leaders of the other guilds that were deeply entrenched were very jealous of him.

"The eight major lines of Chang'an, the heads of the four lines gather here," Chang'an Protector and Korean Gong Li Chan said, "What a grand event, this is the face of the head of the line." He raised his glass, without the slightest hint of the Founding Father, and said with a smile, "Come, I also toast you for the first time." "Hezhong mobilized 600,000 troops, although the general's palace did not transfer the soldiers and horses in the customs to participate in the war, but in order to supply the river, the prime minister's mansion had to buy a large amount of grain in Lumei, Rus, the Western Regions and other places with gold and silver, and the treasury had to issue bonds again to be able to make up enough gold and silver.

"Grandpa Guo is too modest," Zhou Longxi said with a smile, "If we talk about industry, none of our lines can compare to Fuhaixing." Even if you have a heart, you can't enter the door. The capital of the public line laughed, the behemoth of Fuhaixing is a century-old brand, and the business is all over the world, from Lumei in the west to the Song Kingdom in the east, there are semicolons everywhere, not to mention anything else, just issuing and redeeming gold and silver bills and tickets, it is enough to make money every day. Originally, the head office of Fuhaixing was located in Jinling, and it was moved to Chang'an before the southern invasion of Liao, and Han Cheng was one of the wealthy families who held a large stake in Fuhaixing.
